Episode 490: Yarlan's Shadow and Excellent Talent

Labyrinth nucleus.

It is the heart of the labyrinth and what it takes to rule the labyrinth.

By taking in the nucleus of the labyrinth and assimilating it, we can control the labyrinth.

We were previously taught that by Laura Latour, the vampire Vampire.

The newly-built labyrinth in the basement of Mult, over there, was created by the vampire "Vampire" Shmini, who came from somewhere, but whose labyrinth nucleus was held by Lina, whom he had been forced to, without Shmini himself retaining.

We discovered it, it was separated from Lina by Laura, and now it exists in Laura...

To speculate, I suppose Jean is referring to the labyrinth nucleus of that labyrinth by a thousand odds that she heard it from Countess Gisele, the first princess's guardian, but if so...

Can't you?

and immediately me and Lorraine thought.

That was the look on his face.

But it's everywhere, like the labyrinth.

There are as many as three around the malt, including the new ones, and there are dozens or hundreds of them around the world.

If you want a labyrinth nucleus, you can choose from other labyrinths, not anything malt's.

So me and Lorraine, in the meantime, I'm gonna go ahead and listen to Jean, and I'm gonna fix the face that was facing Jean.

…… What kind of reaction? Oh, don't you see what the labyrinth nucleus is? That's an unknown story, isn't it? I kind of thought you guys would know... "

Looks like Jean mistook our reaction for coming from surprise and doubt. I could have corrected it otherwise, but for now, I also decided to listen in silence because I thought I would break the hips of the story.

"The labyrinth nucleus is what, by reading and writing, is the nucleus of the labyrinth. Apparently it exists in all the labyrinths and some kind of being keeps it. If you defeat it, the labyrinth will disappear... but first of all, I won't listen to you actually confirm it."

Mostly, it also matches what Laura told me.

However, I have never actually checked….

If so, why do you think it exists?

Jean goes on to understand my question from the look on his face like that.

"... there have been several guys in the long history of the Adventurers' Union Guild who have defeated such a presence. Just, hey... all this talk I can't get on the table. Some royalty or a clergyman had it...... Hi, I hear a guy named Labyrinth Nucleus can take it out of the Labyrinth. You've all heard of the adventurer who broke through the labyrinth to the depths, and you've heard of the powerful guardian, the Boss Monster, in that last room, who defeated him. Except for the guy with the labyrinth nucleus and the guardian Boss Monster. I don't know... if you say it in the store, is it like the owner and the manager? So, the owners aren't necessarily in the labyrinth,"

I see.

I don't know, but it's pretty vulgar.

I wonder who the store manager is now in that labyrinth of Laura owners.

Occasionally, when the owners come, the storekeeper monsters are terrified.

Skeleton, a boner who greets the owner well in alignment from the entrance.

Goblins and oaks in a rubbing mood.

The slimes that produce and serve juice….

Sounds like a lot of fun, labyrinth.

However, if the owner is in a bad mood, he will draw blood from his neck muscles, or in some cases he will be crushed by gravitational magic.

Laura was talking about keeping four labyrinth nuclei, and is it a big store in the main labyrinth neighborhood?

Well, he usually said one thing that sounds tough, so I guess he's pretty massive...

"Somehow, I could grasp the image. So, where and how do we get that labyrinth nucleus?

That's what Lorraine asks, Jean says.

"It's from a new labyrinth in malt."

Again, me and Lorraine face each other.

But.

The guy with the labyrinth nucleus isn't always in the labyrinth, Jean said.

Then why not just get it that easy?

That's what I ask.

"How do we identify the guy with the labyrinth nucleus? If we were outside the labyrinth, we wouldn't be able to do it anymore."

"Sure. Except for the new labyrinth. According to the Tower guys, the newly-built labyrinth is not stable, so someone with a labyrinth nucleus has to stay inside for a while. Period is roughly, presumably over a year."

Well, if that's the case, there's still someone in the labyrinth with a labyrinth nucleus, so if you look inside the labyrinth and knock him out, you get it.

But nevertheless......

"... have you been able to analyze the Tower that much? Labyrinth research has not progressed so much anywhere in the world. Even the Empire..."

"Well. But something can happen out of the blue somewhere. Surprisingly, the Tower is quite small, but we also seem to have found a way to artificially generate the labyrinth. Even so, it seems like there's no way you can take a labyrinth nucleus from there at a really small... ant nest level. He said he didn't know how many hundreds of years it would take to bring it to practical use. But I did show it to you, too, but it did run as a labyrinth. That's all the demons were little ants... but they were throwing up acid and stuff. That's dangerous."

"Until then! Excellent. I never remember Yarlan's Tower achieving remarkable results or anything, so I was wondering if he was behind... apparently not. By the way, in that Tower, do you know the name of the person responsible for studying the labyrinth?

I'm saying pretty bad things, but can't you help it because it's true?

I guess I want to know the name because I want to go talk to him later.

Jean answers honestly, especially if you're saying it's not about hiding.

"Oh... you're a guy named Hamishi Fabol. Sounds unhealthy, I felt like a researcher... but my head was awesome. I see, this guy made me feel talented."

I guess letting Jean, who has been the head of the giant organization on the back for years, say so is a really good person.

Yarlan is a dusty country, so I told other countries that. Most of them worship post-dust first in technology-related matters, so I was wondering if I had a choice, but don't be kind of happy to think that talented people like that are in my country too.

It's not my style at all, and it's not that patriotic, but in some kind of atmosphere.

But even the study of such a talented person is naturally wrong.

Or that would be normal, as research seems to have just begun.

I mean, even if it doesn't stand for a year, Laura says she's already outside the labyrinth.

From the beginning of the plan, you're all broke...

What is wrong with this….
