Mr. Muge also came back —— by the way, the letters written on the wall seemed quite elusive as they were passages in the poem —— and I explained to everyone what I had been wondering since I went into this dungeon again (decopin 'because Mr. Zelly was about to sleep another night).
"I got that far. So, Reggie. The relationship between the adventurer and the party... did you manage to say the same thing about the dungeon?
"Yes."
I nodded to Mr. Dantes.
"Stop the idea of 'anything ant because it's a dungeon'. This' Labyrinth of Fear 'is an artificial dungeon created by a person named La-Fiza. Everything that's happening here has a cause, a trick."
"What does that have to do with the party?
"I realized that was the relationship between the automaton and the dungeon."
I'll explain.
"Automatons move by magic. The dungeons, on the other hand, have a circulation of magic. Common dungeons repair damage, right?"
"Oh. I don't know how it works..."
"I guess the circulating magic is repairing. Other than that, I can think of the idea that 'dungeons are a kind of monster' --"
"Oh, that's a theory advocated by some dungeon researchers who say it's heretical."
says Mr Mimino. I knew some people were thinking about that. But "heresy"?
"-- For now, don't think about whether it's a monster or not. Because it's not so important there. The important thing is that magic is circulating in the dungeon, and it's the same person who manufactured the automaton that manufactured the dungeon."
"That would be, well, the same... what do you mean, the same?
"I've been thinking about it in that person's shoes. If I were to build a dungeon, I'd let Automaton use the magic of the dungeon."
The magic on the walls of the dungeon is thin when viewed individually, but incredibly vast when viewed as a whole, and this is circulating. Everything is also full of air.
That's why monsters seem to occur naturally, anyway.
"If I'm going to design a dungeon, I'm going to put a trick on the dungeon itself and let the automaton use it freely."
"Ah!"
Mr. Mimino put his hips up.
"So you're using a trap (...) that causes' fear 'emotions!?"
"Correct."
"Trap!?"
Raise your voice as Mr. Muge was surprised.
"But isn't that magical that Automaton used?
"I can't even say it's not magic, but have you ever investigated automatons and found any traces of such magic —— magic -- in your body?
On the other hand, um, Mr. Muge twisted his neck and then
"No... but this is the first time the automaton has caused emotions in itself, right?"
"Oh, that's for sure. But it's easier to use a dungeon."
"Easy?"
"Just breathe in and throw up. The magic of the dungeon builds up in us. Use it to control the emotions of people in the dungeon. It's a lot easier than hanging magic from the outside."
Among the gifted pearls is the type of "mystical trait". This is a type of magic that comes off "eight ways magic", and [healing magic] and [auxiliary magic] are famous among them.
But there are also [soul magic] and [people magic] in minor places. [People Magic] can "work on the emotions of others" exactly.
By the way, I've never seen these two genius pearls before, either. I don't even know how to use it.
But if it exists as magic, it is not impossible to reproduce it by magic.
"Returning the back, the automaton can only (...) fight emotionally where the trap was planted"
A place like the stage we came through. Yeah, I guess there's a trap in the plain sight —— I initially wondered if the "distance" from the automaton matters, but the presence or absence of the trap matters.
"I don't think you'll even get swept up by emotions if you don't even get caught up in the trap. Well, guess what."
"Though I'm guessing, what chance do you think that's clam?
"... I thought 80% would be sure"
"That's a level you can say no to."
Mr. Dantes laughs bitterly.
"No, not until I try to verify it.... but there is evidence that this dungeon itself is trapped. Until we got here, we haven't encountered anything other than The Golden Brigade, and we haven't caught up with them either. On the contrary, there's not even a trace of the Labyrinth Tactics Division or the Golden Brigade that's supposed to be ahead of us."
"... you're right when you ask me"
"Mr. Zelly. You just said that, didn't you? He said the air changed along the way."
"Oh, you did that too. But I thought it was my fault."
"I don't think so. Perhaps the path the Golden Brigade took is different from the path we took."
Then Mr. Dantes twists his neck.
"Hey...... isn't that strange? It's been the main road since then."
"Yes. So I guess the dungeon has some routes available. And replace it with a gap that no other intruder has seen."
"What!?"
"Look at this passageway with no joints"
I touch the ground. The walls of this little room are different, but the ground is the same as the rest, with a touch like mortar or cement.
"Tiles and cobblestones may shift the tiles that you have fitted in when bending the aisle, but if it is this saggy material you will be able to connect or release it. The premise is that it can be fluidized under some conditions."
"Well, you have that material, don't you?
Mr. Mimino is surprised.
"There seems to be. The ground here seems to dissolve like water when it runs certain magic."
When I threw the question to [Mori Luo Wang], there was such an answer. You don't just tell me to look vaguely, so I have to think about this one, right?
Although it hurts that certain magic and tricks are blurred and unrepeatable.
"When it does, 'the dungeon itself is a trap' will also come true, won't it? There's more. The blade flew downhill, and you recovered that one. Don't you think that's strange? Hundreds of years old, there's a physical trap still alive."
"That's because the oil is working... no, the oil won't work in years, or even decades"
"That's right, Mr. Dantes. But the oil seemed to be used even though it was old. Is that someone replenishing it?
I also thought about the possibility that the descendants of La-Fiza, who built the labyrinth, might be inside the Empire.
"We can't abandon that possibility, but you don't think we can continue to do such remarkable things in this narrow empire for hundreds of years, do you? More than that, I'm going to stick with the idea that we're in some way re-refining the oil to keep it in place for hundreds of years. It's called a retrieved blade, and we have a circulation system here that reuses the trap we used once."
"Is that... possible?
"You're the one who created all these labyrinths. I think if we can solve it with intelligence, it's pretty much solved. —— so I concluded that the automaton must also be behaving fully with the performance of the dungeon again than the dungeon itself is highly designed... thanks to Non's tips, too"
"Mine, is it?
He told me I was part of the party.
He told me that my problems were my own too.
That's the hint —— automatons are part of the dungeon again, he said.
I won't tell you because it's a little light.
