Episode 226: The Strongest Sage, Using Hidden Passages
"... can't we even here"
Seeing the blocked hidden passage, that's what I squeaked.
That's the third one.
Numerous hidden passageways exist in the sixth source, but 'normally usable' hidden passageways all seem blocked by the Imperial Waterhouse.
Some traces of it blocked are new, so maybe the guy manipulating the plumbing yard from behind told me where the aisle was and let it all seal off.
If he knew the hidden warehouse connected to the example warehouse, he would know all the hidden passages of the 'common' sixth water source.
'Fine, the blockade is tight... If it was the back door, wouldn't you find out if it broke?
"We can destroy it temporarily that we don't find out, but if it's also done on a regular inspection, we'll find out then. I still don't know if I can bring it into the short-term showdown, so I'd avoid breaking it if I could '
'... then give up going into the sixth source?
'No. There's a hidden passage I want to see at the end. If it's blockaded there too, then let's try a short-term battle with a forcible breakthrough'
What we're going to now is a hidden passage, which I'm the only one who knows, in a hidden passage built in the sixth source.
If it's that aisle, there's no chance it's sealed off whoever the other guy is.
... Unless the enemy has the magic to see through a hidden passage and discovered the passage using it... I don't remember putting on such a raw disguise.
With that in mind, I headed to the hidden passage entrance I was looking for...
"After all, was this place open?"
As I expected, the hidden passage, which no one but me knew, was left completely untouched.
Apparently, the enemy really knows how to design a sixth water source.
However, even the location of the hidden passage of the water network is conveyed in detail… the person who leaked the information may still be a living person.
If humans from previous generations were on the Devil's side, you'd be more troublesome than a bad Devil.
The magic fighters of those days are extra strong than the demons of today, and more importantly, they have a lot of combat experience.
It's unlikely, but it's also unlikely that he survived using immortal magic.
Should we also move in the future, taking into account the possibility that there are such people?
... If the Demons happen to have picked up material or something about the sixth source, it's easy to deal with it.
With that in mind, Alma raised a questionable voice.
'... Is the aisle open? This looks like just a wall...'
'To me too, it just looks like a wall.... The ruins when I searched for the Devil's Sword also turned into just a wall into an entrance, but that one had a connection...'
'Oh, you didn't say. This is a few steps above the ruins of the example. "
That's what I say. I put my hands on the wall and pour special magic into it.
Then... the short-range transfer magic that was planted inside the wall was activated, transferring the four of us into the wall.
"All right, you let him in."
"Momentary Move!?
"Oh. This source wall has transfer magic measures, but the transfer magic planted on the wall is the exception."
That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna slap the wall I just walked through.
The type of concealed passage with moving parts is somewhat sweet as a disguise.
The highest concealed passage is the transfer magic, which is planted on walls with no philosophy whatsoever, in an unnoticed fashion.
I made it because I thought I would need it for some occasion, but I didn't think it would help after thousands of years.
'I mean... is this place already in the source? We need to watch out for our enemies...'
"Oh. Just in case, I need you to grant this magic to everyone's clothes."
That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give Lurii a piece of paper with a magic team.
'What magic is this?
"It's magic to protect yourself from example poison. I had no problem drinking the poison contained in the tap because it's a low concentration, but if you smoke the poison powder as it is, it's life-threatening '.
We use common poison resistance magic from time to time, but life-sucking poison is quite special, so we need special magic.
When you attack an enemy at the source, there's a good chance the enemy will splash the poison to take us down.
'... that's important. I'll grant you more!
As I say, Lurii engraves a lot of protective magic into our clothes.
For now, the example poison won't work for us.
'Is this all you can do to prevent all the poison?
"Counting backwards from the traces of the remaining poison, all the poisons that have been mixed in the tap are magic formations put together so that they can be deactivated.... Otherwise special magic poison is useless, but magic that can be countered collectively by special magic poison is too difficult to use right now '
That's what I answered to Lurii's question when I finished granting him protective magic.
Preventing poison seems easy and difficult.
Even if you cover your body with iron plates and seal it, there are poisons that you can't prevent.
'But if all the poisons used can be prevented, don't worry!
Hearing my words, Alma said her optimistic thoughts.
But the situation is not that simple.
"The poison brought in by the enemy should be countervailable, but if the Demons are in the hidden room of the source, they are threatening to synthesize a new special magic poison. It's easier to make poison that kills people than it is to make poison that sucks life away. … in which case the response will vary depending on the type of poison, so follow my instructions'
Copy that!
'All right, then, in the meantime, we'll stop those people mixing poison in the tap!
'Yes!'
