'Well, why don't you just dive in through that back door!

With that said, Illis tries to get out of town.

I held back Iris like that.

"Wait a minute. We'll find out as much as we can in the city."

'... but it's the source you need, isn't it? Wouldn't it be quicker to get in directly and get rid of the bad guys?

'That would be if we knew where the enemy was.... Only the Demons can make poison that sucks life out of it. I want to find out where that poison came from. "

Even if there are no demons on this occasion, there must always be demons at the origin of the medicine.

He needs to defeat himself in order to stop the demon clan from recovering his vitality.

Otherwise, he could be poisoned elsewhere, where he crushed the human being at the source.

'Exploring the origins means sneaking into the great people's homes in this city or something...? I don't like that, eagle!

'Sneaking into a great man's house is a last resort. The risk of being found is too great.... In the meantime, let's explore as far as we can see from the outside'

That said, I activate a cover-up magic for four people and go inside the city.

As always, it's a type of cover-up magic that can't open doors or anything, but the risk of being found instead is small.

Unless you accidentally meet the Demons themselves, you won't find out.

If you are 'lucky' to meet the Demon Clan, then defeat the other Demon Clan and solve it. That's the quickest thing to do... but I don't feel like I can expect much from you because the Demons will be on guard there too.

With that in mind, I walk towards the city centre.

"Hmm, where the poison came from, where the poison came from..."

"Are you confused by something and sneaking it around?

'Probably, but the poison that sucks life is so noticeable. Anyway, if you're blending in a very small amount into the tap or something, if you're transporting it all together, you should have about a trace. But... so far, I don't see any trace of it.'

There are many different kinds of poisons that inhale life, but they are all poisons that affect the magic around you just because they exist.

It is not at the level that the human being carrying dies, but even if it is sealed and carried in a metal can or the like, there will definitely be traces on the road.

'That means you're bringing it in from the basement...'

'Or did you bring it in with raw materials and formulate it inside?... Is it easy to formulate from raw materials?

'At least it's not like you can just mix it up. If Lurii knew how to do it, he might be able to formulate it. "

To create a poison that breathes life, it is necessary to impart magic to the poison itself.

There are several kinds of magic that can be used, but they are all quite tricky magic.

"Even Lurii can't do that to people in this country, can he?

'Well, that's impossible if you didn't spend your yearly time on specialized education or something.... Well, you'll see if we get around the entrance to the ruins'

... while we talked about it, we got to the front of the building where we hid the entrance to the source.

The building looks like a small old warehouse.

But the walls are unusually thick and the entrance is rigorously locked with magic.

The key itself would be an offering from the Demons.

"The entrance to the source is in here."

'It seems a little impossible to open this without being noticed...'

'If you can take about three days, it's possible for once, but it doesn't seem worth opening that far.... It looks like there are traces of poison coming through this entrance.

That's what I said. I pointed to the entrance to the warehouse.

This trace would undoubtedly be the first one that was made when the poison was transported inside the sixth source.

'What marks... I kind of feel like the ground in front of the door, has more magic reactions than normal, are you talking about that?

"Oh. The magic released by the example poison was adsorbed to the ground. Follow where this is going and you'll know where the poison is being carried from '

With that said, I follow traces of poison.

Given the intensity of the traces, it would not have been once or twice that this route was used.

Moving on with that in mind... we arrived at a new warehouse.

Probably not five years after construction.

The warehouse says "Imperial Water Academy Material Warehouse".

"... it looks like you're saving the poison you brought here."

'Oh. The problem is, the route to this warehouse...'

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go around the warehouse.

But I didn't see any traces.

'There is no route of arrival… is it transport from the sky?

'It's possible... from the magic reaction, the ceiling in this warehouse isn't ready to open. If we descend from the perimeter, we'll have traces.'

'Um, there doesn't seem to be a way in the basement, and are you even conditioning inside?

Lurii's right, there doesn't even seem to be a path in the basement.

If we get this close, we won't overlook the hidden passages of the level that the Demons can manufacture today.

It is not impossible to mix in the warehouse, but I don't see any equipment like that.

Formulation without equipment increases the difficulty by a few steps.

"It's possible to mix, but when you mix without equipment... it's going to be a lot harder. More likely, it's storage magic. '

"Storage magic... Matty, the one you're using?

'Oh. If you carry the medicine in storage magic, it won't leave a trace.... then maybe we can hold that scene down because someone who can use storage magic will come directly here'

As far as the magic reactions in the warehouse are concerned, the amount of medicine left is not that great.

By the end of the day, the medicine will be replenished.

"Is it a stakeout......"

'Oh. It's going to take a lot of time, so the Luriis can leave first.'

How long the stakeout lasts depends on a lot of luck.

I am accustomed to the past life, and there are many ways to reduce my health consumption, but the two of them won't either.

Iris is a dragon's sense of time, so I might have no problem sticking around for a year or so.

'... as long as my strength continues, I will see it too!

"Me too!

"I'm also looking at eagles! Compared to sitting still in the mountains for thousands of years, it's quick to stake out!

... apparently we'll all be on stakeout.

I just have to hope to the hauliers that they come out as soon as possible.
