Sword of the Philosopher

I decide to head to the Imperial City alone… Richard sends a message to come later after he creates the demon. Saving Romilda doesn't allow you to hold her and use mobile magic. So let's make it up to Richard's demons about moving.

So, naturally, it takes a lot of time to get to the capital... but using magic allowed me to arrive in about a day. And the current time is past noon. There are many people on the streets.

According to various observations with the user demon beforehand, the two remaining Marquis of Four Dragons are not currently in motion. Furthermore, I can't see soldiers on the Emperor's side preparing to march to Exon. However, that is only a story within sight, and you can't be alarmed because you may actually be preparing somewhere.

The Exons don't have any problems at all. Plus something didn't happen to Cheon back in the realm... so I got to the capital without any obstacles.

It's called the Empire City, so it can't be built on a plain, for example, climbing mountains to see all the exteriors. But the scale was the biggest part of the continent, and the heavy walls greeted us.

"That's a lot tougher."

Gark shares his thoughts. I have a conversation in front of the castle gate going into town, watching merchants and travelers trying to get inside.

"In addition to being high, the walls cover the entire imperial capital... and this is not all"

'Hmm?'

"If we go any further inside the town, there's another castle wall. And in the center the court...... the court of the wide grounds and the town is held back by further walls. Assuming a siege, you have to break through three walls."

Difficult to attack, is said to be the Imperial Capital. There's just, well, there's only one country on this continent, so it's basically not going to be like this wall is going to work... normally.

"In the story, do rebel groups attack this imperial capital?

Garc question. I shook my head left and right.

"Where the rebel organization side has prevailed, Nehmeisa will set up a forum for discussion. It's a lie and it's actually an act to get the main characters all over the place... a robust empire, but the walls never work."

"Right."

"Exactly. I'd like to beg your pardon for the castle attack."

As I say, I send my gaze to the castle gate. We have to go through there to get in. I'd be able to jump over the walls, but I guess I shouldn't do it during a crowded day.

Lord Luon, do you want to infiltrate with the magic of erasing the signs?

"Right. I don't think my face is just cracked... but I don't want to face soldiers or anything if I can."

So use the magic of hiding the signs out of sight and go to the castle gate.

I slipped through where the merchant driving the carriage was having a conversation with a soldier and went inside the town.

"If you go through the gate, the checks aren't strict. I can move freely."

That's what I said, but I look around while maintaining my magic.

That's the Empire City, something like that. A lively picture can be seen. It's not strange to be on strict alert because we're fighting insurgent groups, but for now, there's nothing to worry about other than soldiers looking around.

Move to the alley to unlock magic. Then start walking down the street.

"What are we going to do first?

"Let's rent an inn first. From there, we use demons to observe the city."

"To find the girl?

"I also understand that you can't find it by searching around in the dark clouds with a demon of use... but if you can find it even in the members of The Black Sword of the Paint, it will be different."

Nevertheless, it is also unclear whether it is something that can be seen at first sight. I'm worried about Romilda, but from here on out, we'll have to do it by hand.

"Don't get lucky too... move first -"

'Lord Luon, there is something that bothered me at the moment. Ready?'

Gark's words. "Go ahead," he urged, starting to talk.

"This is the capital of the Empire... but it's very magical."

"Magic? I don't feel anything."

"Is that how Lord Luon feels when he touches the magic in the atmosphere? What I'm saying is underground. '

"Underground?"

"Once you've taken the inn, you can use Resvail to detect magic."

Yes, Gark told me... I'll go into the inn nearby and get a room. Being alone in a private room created Les Bailes, as I was told.

"Analysis of magic, and"

I didn't really think about the range or anything... but the moment I did the magic detection via Resvail, I groaned small.

"This is..."

"Lord Luon, was this situation normal in the story?

Asked, I don't answer anything. Rather than

"No... I just didn't know the details so far"

- There is a stream of magic around the centrally located court. There is great magic in the basement of the court, from which it spreads radially toward the walls of the castle. In addition, there is a flow of magic in circles along the walls, and a flow of magic towards the second and third walls.

... I don't know unless I use Resvail this way for magic detection. But once we perceive it, we can clearly recognize that great magic exists underground.

"You have magic power not only in the court, but all over the Empire City... it just doesn't seem like you have detection"

'Cause if you do that, people in town will notice you.'

"Right. But what does this mean..."

The game...... um, Nehmeisa definitely used the power of Dragon Demon Stone, but there was no such portrayal that she was stretching her magic like this.

'... guess what, this is how you're putting magic all over town, because you're trying to use the magic of sleeping on the ground'

Gark gives a further view.

"Suppose, for example, we find ourselves in a critical situation in this battle. In doing so, it sucks magic out of the ground and strengthens itself… but when Lord Abel used the power of the earth in the same way, he couldn't do as much damage to the Marquis as he thought? Given that fact, there's got to be a way to use the power of sleeping on the ground. '

"Such research, Nehmeisa said, is being carried out"

"Maybe."

... If this is a different situation from the game, you can still assume that Nehmeisa exercises space-time magic and is ready for us. I'm curious how much it's taken so far...

"To confront Lord Luon."

"... you're too big to fight me alone"

Whatever the reason, because we're ready to go this far, if we're going back in time and starting over, then Nehmeisa's going to be screwed by us... Okay.

"Whatever the reason, if this is our preparation, we have to do what we have to do."

'Right. These magical drawbacks are that destroying the starting point will no longer work.'

"Destruction?"

"If, for example, magic is blocked between the outer periphery and the second wall, the magic that existed between them disappears and the magic ceases to function. Or the point of control of the magic that would be within the court... if you destroy it, don't let the magic itself stop working '

"I see."

"Whether or not Nehmeisa should be applying these treatments considering the area...... Hmm, and there's something underground"

"Sure, there must have been a research facility in the courtyard basement"

"Hmm, research?

"It should have been a place for research on dragon demon stones..."

- When all this magic exists underground, is it different around it? I'd like to find out if I can, including about Romilda.

"Fair enough. First, we use the demon to search for Romilda."

"I wonder if I can find it"

"I don't know all that...... but I'll do whatever I can"

I don't know what would happen if Nehmeisa found me... imagine it would be a harsh look.

There are two main things to do in this imperial capital. One is to look for Romilda irrespective, the other is a survey about Nehmeisa - albeit for the latter, depending on Romilda's trends?

"We can do it, we have to do it."

Using the demon to the fullest extent of human sea tactics - so determined, I began a magical chant.
