It would have been about an hour before the Ars changed their direction towards the upper reaches of the creek.

Even so, going up a thinly grounded creek was unnecessarily leisurely.

"Hey, Al? This is gonna be okay, right?"I think it should be heading upstream, but I think the scenery has been similar since before. "

Alice pointed out that Arthur and Loki dared not speak.

It can change into a boulder for an hour, or it can change slightly as the river widens.Despite that, the scenery doesn't seem to change anymore.

It was time to get tired of walking, and it was about time that the cradle of the creek became a nuisance.

For a moment, I even forgot that this was the outside world.Ars and the others had never fought a monster since they started going up the creek.

Technically, it was possible to confirm its existence from a distance, but the monsters were more unable to sense Ars.

If I took some action, I would have noticed, but unless I did, the monsters would pass without Ars.So in a sense I was fortunate, in a sense I was certainly free.

In the strange sensation of coming to the monster exhibition, Arus and the others aim to go up the creek.

There wasn't much point in analyzing the monsters I'd seen so far, but it seemed clear that the monsters were isolated inside [Eve Sagi].No, it could be called quarantine.

The fact that I couldn't sense Arthus meant that the monsters were also in Ibusagi's cage.I wondered if I could do something that I wanted to do with monsters.Of course, if you have a high rate and you are devouring humans accordingly, the information you incorporate will make a variety of —— for better or for worse —— human thought decisions.

However, according to Arth's rules of thumb, such monstrous actions could still be glimpsed in battle.

That's why I wasn't sure what the wandering monster was aiming for.

He was looking for food like any other animal, or proving that his slow steps made the outside world his habitat.

When the defenseless monster's back was so far apart that it completely disappeared, Arthur followed the flow of water that lasted forever again.

Suddenly, looking at the serpentine creek, Ars continued to dive into the sea of thoughts, and Alice's voice rose.

Speaking of which, what is it?

Once I saw the separation, I could feel Alice's weakness or the weakness of her claim.In any case, it must be painful enough to be able to have a conversation.

It was a good opportunity to switch heads here because I had been immersed in thinking for a long time.

"It's a stick." I'm tired of walking.Well, Alice hasn't had a chance to go outside yet, so if you have any questions, I'll answer them. "

I did. Hmm, is it normal to have mental contamination or interference?

Alice, who leaked the voice of her bouncing heart, shook the topic just now in a serious tone.

Most of all, it was a surprisingly difficult story —— it was also a professional topic.If you're a magician, this is one of the things you need to know, but you often learn this kind of knowledge through practical combat experience.

That said, I'm reluctant to thwart the curiosity of the chicks.

"That's right, there aren't many in the outside world."Interference is also a matter of degree.There is no limit to what is to be defined as being induced or induced by another person or contrary to the will of the person. "

Hmmm, but there's something there.

It's quite unusual that certain monsters and figures aren't magicians like this one, though.

From time to time, Loki, who was walking at the head, joined the conversation while keeping an eye on the surroundings with a sense of restlessness and detection magic.

As a leading magician, you know how to develop backwardness.There is a big difference between knowing and not knowing whether it is broad or shallow.

It was also possible that Alice's injuries could have been avoided.

"I think it will also appear in lectures in high school, but the magic of mental manipulation is mainly in the field of humans.Of course, in the sense of taking over completely, it would be possible for a monster to do so. ”

Is the human realm a dark system?

Clinton and Arthur turned their gaze to Alice and remembered what had happened.

Speaking of the dark system, there was a new student, Fiona, who had been in contact with Ars a while ago.She seems to be nostalgic for Alice, so I realized there was a delicate side to the subject.

"You're a specialist in the Dark System."That said, the Dark Lineage was a bit of a pinch.Honestly, I have to say that it is quite difficult to interfere with others until they are in an operable state.So you should know what to do first, rather than know how and theory. ”

Loki, who was a teacher, was somewhat good at speaking, so Ars closed his mouth and decided to listen.

Noticing Arthur's concern, she took on the role of teacher.

"It's a cure. It feels like an amazing discipline."I'll ask you anything when I get home. "

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Somehow, Alice felt agile with her beastly sense of smell, and even if she tried to put the problem ahead of herself, Loki was forced to abandon it.Alice dropped her shoulder as she grabbed her wrist as she tried to turn back.

On the face of it, it was Alice who put in such a performance, but she also admired herself, and since Fiona was in the dark, I really wanted to put in the knowledge.

"Well, well, it's not that difficult."Besides, it has nothing to do with this loss. "

"If that's the case..."

"It's a dark system, but of course there are ways to deal with it, especially for those who interfere with the spirit.It's called mental interference, and it's quite broad.In fact, it also includes things that interfere with [perception] and [five senses].After all, these magical places are eroded and invaded.I'll omit it, but it's strongly interfering with a part of the target's magic intelligence. "

I heard Gokri and Alice swallow their saliva.

As a simple explanation, Alus wanted to add a horizontal spear.

"The magic information is classified into several layers in terms of magic."I guess the most important information of the basic word is the deepest layer.There are various reports, but it is said that about one to three layers of magic are used.Problem with the ratio as an energy body.In fact, the six layers with basic words are less than 1% in percentage terms.The operation of magic consists of these layers. "

"Nh, I know what you're saying, but I don't know what you're talking about."

I don't know what you're talking about.

Loki caught a cough and turned back to talk.

"Mental interference magic mainly means that it is affected by three to four layers of this layer.Of course, as a phenomenon, such as the disappearance of the five senses and mental guidance are the main pathways of interference from the magic intelligence body.Naturally, the best way to deal with it is to normalize magic power. "

Ah ~ Then, how about magic manipulation?

"You're right. However, magic manipulation is only a defensive countermeasure, and it is difficult to break it once it has been subjected to mental interference."So if you have multiple names, there is a way to shed magic power on others, as Al did before.There is also a forceful way to receive external stimuli and magic clumps.Either way, it's better to unlock it quickly. ”

Well, then what is the situation?

The essence of this story, or the essence, will be taken over by Arthur, who was given a baton with his gaze to Loki.

"The spiritual interference up to this point is mainly to allow interference to five and six layers."If this happens, I can't take it off in a healthy way.Considering it was almost unconsciously influenced, it was not a malicious interference from others. "

What do you mean?

“It's pretty powerful, but there's no need to force it out, and there's no sure way.”

The most powerful psychic interference in the Dark System was to force suicide.Even the fear of dying in person is ridiculous, and there is no doubt about it.Instead, they die smiling like the right thing to do.

The magic of the dark system was called the [Blood Banquet (Hannibal)].I'm a forbidden magical companion.

Remembering the bitter experience, Ars continued to speak.

Normally, you'd be able to deal with it by stunning it, but at this level, it would be easiest to get rid of the Law of Attack.

What's a straight shot?

To Alice's overbearing doubts, Arthur lifted the corner of his mouth and pointed to the tip of his chin.

Ah!?

Beyond the gaze —— The source of the river was bright green as if the tone had brightened up.

The lower grass is well aligned up to the ankle, and the space is open like a circle.

It would have been in this state for a very long time, even if it hadn't been after it had been opened.

The three of them unexpectedly stopped, but it might have been mainly an instinctive vigilance against the discomfort.

“What do we do, Al?”

Loki raised his voice and asked for instructions, but came here and decided on a course of action.

But what she euphemistically says is that the old house exists.

And one more thing.

Following the creek the Ars were chasing, there was a fountain that looked like a boneless rock.Large quantities of spring water were spewed out of the stone building, which could be said to be avant-garde.

From the reservoir that hits the lower part, a narrow waterway that is either a hand moat or a tributary spreads radially.

Just a glimpse and there were about four of them flowing.

The aqueduct was dug into two steps, and Arus crossed without stepping on the flat stone instead of the bridge placed on it.

Behind it is an old wooden house covered with stones.Unlike the barn, there seemed to be minimal space to live there.

The dusty and cloudy glass windows did not watermark the interior.

It is a mysterious and emotional landscape.

Alongside Alice, who was relieved next to her, Ars was attacked by an uncomfortable feeling of numbness on the back of her neck.
