"… actions within the Empire will be restricted. Always wear this bracelet and do not remove it. Be sure to return this bracelet when you leave the Empire again. There will be a very loud alarm if you leave the country as it is. The loan of the bracelet will be included in the Guild Certificate and the information will be erased upon return"
The bracelet given to me by the Leffs had a hinge about one place, and when worn with Kachan, it was a substitute that I couldn't open without using the key.
Although it looks like a silver bracelet, [Mori Luo Vientiane] confirms that the magic is engraved on the area touching the arm.
(... this is a GPS kind of feature. And the wearer's, what is it, recording emotions and life reactions?
I associate a smartwatch with it, but it's a lot more powerful than that for a few functions.
Wow. I can't believe you're developing something like this.
(... but I don't feel comfortable being informed)
I wrapped a bandage around my arm and fastened my bracelet from it.
"Come here, then"
The officials of the Adventurer Guild, rather than to say, the old refs, who would want to call themselves scholars, were weaving their feathers as if they were dark blue robes. I was struck by the fact that the beard stretching from my chin is white, which probably indicates that he is old —— he has a beard, and I don't care.
We were in front of a giant wall. There are iron doors installed there, and there are about five Lev guards there to protect them. A tunnel was opening its mouth where the carriage seemed to pass slowly.
Our "Silver Balance" party goes inside, alerted by the guards.
The tunnel was about 50 meters long and had a magic guide lamp on it 5 meters apart.
(The wind...)
From the other side, a dry breeze blows.
The light is blinding and I narrow my eyes. [M]
"... Welcome to the Ref Demon Guided Empire"
Alliance officials looked back at the exit, he said.
—— I almost raised my voice.
There are red tea walls spread to the left and right, and their walls continue all the way across.
The land surrounded by walls is the Lev Demon Empire.
There are dozens of demon-guided airships flying in the sky, but it looks like they're carrying something, not people.
The building had a lot more than five floors, and I guess it's stiffened with a mixture in the soil that came out of the reddish walls, all red and black overall.
Are rare windowsills common here in various countries, or are they commonly used to reflect sunlight?
And —— it's not the carriages that cross the paved ground, it's the automobiles.
"It's not a steam engine... is this working in magic..."
"Well, you know very well. Six-wheeled automobiles by Magi engines are the feet of the imperial people. Looks like they picked you up from over there."
Guild officials like scholars pointed to it, so Mr. Muge came aboard "Cat Chang" as he waved "Oooh.
... Yeah, the other Emperor Nationals are frowning when they see Cat Chang. There's no other steam engine automobile-- oh, Cat Chang's in a bad mood and he's stopping.
"... but don't cause any problems. Bye."
Adventurer Alliance officials like scholars returned to the tunnel as they slipped away from their gaze.
We approached Mr. Muge --.
"Hey, that helped. Mr. Dantes is powerful."
In the end, Mr. Dantes was to push the cat Chang, who stopped saying yeah. Though my surrounding gaze hurt a lot, we came to a store run by Mr. Muge anyway.
Quite on the outer edge of the city, this store had a huge warehouse on its back, where cats Chang, coal, and merchandise were placed. When you get here, the roads aren't paved, and trees and grass grow all you want. And the wall is visible right around the corner.
(over there...... you're drilling into a cliff)
A crane was installed on top of the wall, and I could see it going up and down the luggage and the humans. Such sights are all over the extinct wall. There's a hole in the middle of the wall, so I guess there's something in it. Like a reservoir? I don't know... I wonder if they use a cliff because this land is limited. No, then you just have to dig a hole in the ground...
"More than that, Mr. Muge, what did you call us this time?
There was an old table in the warehouse, and we sat there with a little chair. Mr. Muge brings ice and water to the pitcher —— the iron pitcher is surprisingly sweaty, and when Mr. Dantes poured it into the iron cup, he swallowed three glasses at once.
"... I sold Gigabore, but it was incredibly high."
"? That would have been nice."
"Yeah, I'm glad -- oh, by the way, you didn't want to buy it from Mr. Dantes, did you?
He said, "I know."
Mr. Dantes laughs bitterly at Mr. Muge, who excuses himself for discipline. Mr. Muge also continued dampening his throat with ice water —— I guess the refs don't regulate his body temperature as well as reptiles, and this is how he seems to really need his moisture intake.
"While we were paying in the caravan, there was a big incident."
"Incident"
"Yes —— the country's strategic weapon, the Magic Guided Aircraft, the Beauty Below the Moon, was stolen."
"Hmm...?
Mr. Dantes raised his eyebrows and looked at us, but I honestly had trouble reacting, too. I was wondering if Mr. Muge had bothered to pay the guild a fee to call us here to talk about it.
"The silver hull is smooth and beautiful with the latest formula among the demon-guided airships, so much so that it's fashionable to watch the ship and drink, especially in the night flights that took place after the demonstration was completed"
"Such a lot of things were stolen, he said. So —— is it time to get down to business?
"... whoever took this seems to be a bandit group, but aside from that, His Majesty the Emperor took this matter with great anger... he said his life was in danger"
-- Build a new airship with technology beyond "beauty under the moon".
"Do you know that the technological development of the ref demon guidance empire is brought about by nine dungeons?
"Dungeons?
Mr. Dantes looks like his first ear, too.
Muge says that the magic guidance technology used in the empire is being studied by mimicking or analyzing the magic guidance items found in the dungeons.
There are nine of those dungeons.
"The Labyrinth of Drowning" ○ Attack complete
"Labyrinth of Hate" △ Attacking
"Labyrinth of Worship" ○ Attack complete
"The Labyrinth of Grief" ○ Attack Complete
"The Labyrinth of Anger" x Collapse
"Mad Labyrinth" △ Attacking
"Labyrinth of Thirst" x Undiscovered
"Labyrinth of Sympathy" △ Attacking
"Fear Labyrinth" △ Attacking
"These are collectively referred to as the 'Labyrinth of Nine Loves' and exist within the wall that surrounds this country - the 'Wall of the Ref'"
I raised my voice. [M]
"Is that why there's a hole in the cliff?
"Of course you have a hole for the dungeon offense. However, many of the holes are used to grow our staple food, Myka Mushrooms."
This is the first time I've ever known that the lef's staple food was mushrooms.
It's just a staple because it's easy to cultivate, and Mr. Muge usually likes bread and meat?
"We're going to go through four labyrinths at once: Hate, Madness, Sympathy, and Fear. To do this, we recruited adventurers from outside, not enough power within the Empire. Loads of money."
"Is that the many adventurers out there?"
Mr Dantes says, Mr Muge nods.
"It seems that each of these four labyrinths is now proceeding from" Attack Section 1 "of" Labyrinth Attack Bureau "to" Attack Section 4 "in response...... so, Mr. Reggie"
"What is it?
"What did you say the name of the person you wanted to meet?
————
I was upset.
Old Hinga's daughter has already died and her granddaughter is unable to see her due to "authority instructions".
If the "authorities" and they are -- if they are in a state of full hand in official business, isn't it the case that they are doing interviews or something?
"It's Mr. Lulusha."
Then Mr. Muge,
"That person is halfway between the human race and the refs...... right?
"Yes."
"Again."
I nodded convincingly as I said it.
"I heard the chief of Section 4 of the Labyrinth Attack Bureau say in the half with the human race... Mr. Lulsha. They're currently inside The Fear Labyrinth."
