Sword of the Philosopher

"Ooh......"

I'm surprised to see Yusuka's dwarfed mansion as she sits up. I wouldn't shout out like an alt I used to involve in the battle against the Demon King... well, does this height just surprise you more than there's nothing high up there?

"I think I'm going down for a break on the way. It would be invisible, so it would be in the woods or something."

Fei Long goes up in altitude while I explain. That's when Richard raised his voice.

"Mr. Luon, if there's a fight where we're headed this time, what are we going to do?

"What to do... I think we can do something about it unless the Marquis class comes out. I get a little money so I can procure weapons on the road... but I wonder if there are limits to what they sell in the store. What do we do?"

"Isn't that better than not?

"Sure. Be prepared."

I'll take minimum precautions... so while we take a break, we buy weapons and arrive at our destination. A building like a clinic in a small town.

"... I think he's quite a famous man more than the Marquis knows... I wonder what this stand-up is"

I knock on the front door for now while I keep my mouth shut. I heard a few footsteps and people came out of it.

"Yes."

- He looked close to a doctor named White on dark hair. A man with a plain impression, is he around thirty years old?

I heard you were a researcher, but younger than I expected for that.

"Is that Mr. Florrie?

The other person snorts at my inquiry.

"Yes... but what about you?

After I respond, I take the letter out of my nostalgia. Exon's autograph.

"Take this."

"Yeah?"

Cut the seal as you tilt your neck. Read the contents.

"... oh, I see. The Marquis is in trouble too."

"Can you?

"You'll be fine...... go inside"

Flory entering with his back turned inside. Once we look at each other, we go inside.

The destination I followed him to was a living room of considerable size. But there are experimental tools scattered all over the place to make us understand that they are researchers.

"I know what's going on. So it's possible that some of you might have used dragon demon stones and some kind of magic? I'll look into it."

"Exactly."

"The test itself won't take that long. Just don't need at least a day before it turns out."

"I'll wait about that."

Flory replies, "Okay," and tells us.

"Shall we get started then? Anyone who might be using magic, step forward."

- Then the inspection ends in about an hour. We're just going to have to find out tomorrow, so we're going to pick up the inn and get ready for the night.

So, Flory tells me a little story. They originally did research in Imperial Capital, but they quit because of everything. That Nehmeisa and Soli didn't fit together, so we have no choice.

He then started interacting with Exon and Cheon, and he lived in this house.

"As far as I am concerned, I am satisfied because I am able to study it with the Marquis' courtesy."

"Really?"

Take a sip of tea while hammering. After the exam, we took a break, so we sat in a chair in the living room and had tea.

"In the meantime, there's no obstruction on the part of the Imperial Capital... so let me tell you one thing"

"It's a secret that we're working together here, isn't it?

"It would help if you could guess. It's not that alarming. So far, nothing's happened from the castle."

- Sometimes he didn't show up on the game himself, and I can't even imagine what would happen. Do you want to use the demon to observe?

"Though you are with the researchers of Dragon Demon Stone."

Richard opens his mouth. Hmm, it feels like looking into Dragon Demon Stone in order to deal with his own space-time magic of Nehmeisa?

In some cases, do I need to ask for your help? With that in mind, Florrie started talking.

"My specialty is analysis of dragon demon stone structures and such. Well, demon stones can be found on other continents, but the ones who sleep on this continent are slightly different, so we're studying the differences."

That's what I said and cut out - honestly, it was hard to understand a lot of jargon. Well, Richard decided to take care of this neighborhood.

"... As for dragon demon stones, there are many cases where they sleep in mountainous areas with other ores, or are contained within mineral veins. But other than that, there are stories of my ancestors setting up caves and stuff trying to use dragon demon stones."

Installation...... I heard the word and Sophia reacted.

"Cave, is it? For what purpose?

"There are various kinds of things, but I think it feels like, for example, by planting dragon demon stones in the realm, we can use that power for connections, etc. Most of the time the Empire explores such places and in many cases is getting them"

Here Flory grins deeply.

"There are other ruins of angels on this continent, but they were thinking of using the power of the Demon Stone."

"Dragon Demon Stone?

"Oh. As the continent of Sherzia, for example, is called the continent of the Spirit, there is also a presence on this continent called the Dragon Man, and yet there is a special material called the Dragon Demon Stone… a story that can be described as a continental feature, but the angel tried to use it. But there are many theories about the motive."

- I had some idea. Angels use a medium called Dragon Demon Stone… its purpose was perhaps the same as that of the continent of Sherzia.

I haven't told Sophia or Richard about the details of the matter, but if you look into the angels, you might find out, you'll think about it.

"By the way, are there any of those ruins around here?

Florrie shrugged her shoulders as Sophia spoke further.

"I don't know. In many cases, the ruins of angels are magically hidden from the outside world. So many ruins haven't been found yet... there's no chance it's around here."

Speaking of which, at the time we came to this continent, I thought the emperor's organization and the dragonman's knight were exploring the ruins. Are they looking around to find out where they are, or...

"Dear Luon, should I look around?

In response to the inquiry, I replied, "I don't know." The ruins of an angel...... the formula is high that Nehmeisa is looking into it over and over again. That's right. I don't have the investigative capability around here either, so if I were to do it, I would attack the knights who explored the ruins and take what I got inside the ruins, or something?

Should I think a little bit about this... etc.

"Um."

The voice of Romilda. Noticed, she began to speak with a slight hesitation.

"Me, while I was out of the castle... I discovered a map describing where the Knights were trying to find out..."

"Map?"

"I don't remember it all, but something like a candidate place is written on the edge of the map, and one of them is this town..."

"If there's any ruins around, it's in the woods southeast of town."

Flory's remarks. In contrast, I answered.

"Even if you go into the ruins, you don't have a zero chance of staying here, the nearest town. Hmm, I don't know if the Knights are moving... can I check it out"

After entering the inn, we'll fly the demon to find out... and after we've made up our minds, we're leaving Flory's house.
