Sword of the Philosopher

I'll do the dragon demon stone replacement by myself - so one leaves the mansion early in the morning and heads to where it says in the dossier.

'Don't you have to be in the mood for that?

Shortly after entering the mountain, Garc says - the timing of the knight's visit to the ruins is definite, so you just have to deal with it by then, so you may not have to get up early in the morning.

"I'm in the mood for this. Garc."

'Is that what it is...? Fair enough. At the entrance...'

"Oh, that one."

It was just the rock that pointed. There are some rocks that are big enough to look up.

"Eh, the place..."

Walking around looking at the notes I had stuck in my nostalgia. I used my surroundings and checked with the demon, but no one was there.

"Oh, that's this rock. They're opening the ground."

'This isn't something I can find trying to find. So, how do we get in?

"Well, the material says there's a trick to get it in from the outside."

'... Isn't this a way out of here? Why would you have a trick like that?

"There was speculation in Richard's dossier. This site is a hidden and experimental facility, and there are so many roads outside the entrance."

"Ugh."

"So, one of them is this. For example, when we brought humans in in secret, they put them in from places like this."

'... a human experiment?

"That kind of possibility comes first, but you don't know the truth. We need to ask the angels."

Pay off the sand that builds up on the ground as you give in. A little bit later, I discovered a straight line gap.

Obviously artificial. If you pay a little more sand, it's wide enough that I've spread my hands.

"Hey, you found the entrance. So, there's a switch somewhere in the rock..."

It's camouflaged... but I found it.

"Don't remind me of the secret way I went through when I saved Sophia. I'm guessing the structure is completely different."

When I disarmed the trick, I heard a noise and the entrance opened. I can see the stairs to the basement.

Then there was an angel under the stairs. The head doesn't have that many facial parts, creepy red angel.

"... to?

The squeaky arrow tip, the sudden angel attacking me -!

"Oh, hey! All of a sudden!

I immediately tried to use magic while speaking out...... for some reason my right arm reacted.

"Huh!?"

With a short voice, I'll leave it to the flow. Then came the sword obtained in the ruins.

"When you're in a combat position, do you come out reflexively...?

Grabbing the sword in doubt and relative to the angel. What the enemy has is a long sword. He shook it down to me relentlessly.

Surprise attack, but it's quite a hassle because it launches an attack without question. But for me, it's easy to win.

"Sora!

Roll out the slaughter. It was released toward the other sword, and the moment the sword engaged, it broke itself off lightly and slapped the blade into the angel's body.

They were powerful enough, and the angels vanished lightly. I'm a little surprised, but I can handle it.

All right... just in case, use the demon to see if there are any shadows around. As a result, no one.

"Okay, let's move on"

Lord Luon, be careful.

Nodding and stepping into the stairs. When you create a light, there's something like a lever made of iron or something on the wall.

"The one that closes the entrance, I guess."

When I moved the trick to try it... I heard a noise and the entrance closed.

Complete silence dominates the space. When the light intensified, I saw a passage that ran straight.

"Besides... you have an angel from earlier"

Voiced arrow tips, enemies point their bodies.

"Well no. Let's go ahead and eliminate it."

"Umm."

Fighting begins with Gark's voice... but not for me. Brilliantly cleans it all up with one blow. I mean,

"Nice cut, you sword"

"Sounds like it would be worth it if I used it normally"

Yeah, when we don't need the power of Dragon Demon Stone, let's decide to use this sword. It is also a sign of verification.

Erase the sword at a stage where there are no more enemies around you and continue down the aisle again. I don't know what the distance is, but it's not quite the way out, and it won't be that long.

Shortly after I made that prediction, I reached the end of the line.

"Um, don't feel the magic from behind this wall"

"Then..."

Look, there's a lever on the wall. Moving it - the door opened.

"Oi."

Shortly after the words, I felt the magic. What I saw with it was a blue light.

"Well, here's the real deal... Les Bailes"

Generate the Spirit and go inside the room. In a room with slightly elevated ceilings, there is a pedestal where the dragon demon stone you are looking for rests in the center.

"Hmm..."

Eye gazing. I sense a trick around the pedestal through the resvail, but there's nothing in my sight.

"There's only a little magic around the pedestal. That would be the trick. The moment you take the Dragon Demon Stone and try to take it, the trap activates'

It's a troublesome trap... I'm going to work to keep it from activating.

"Uh, first"

Remove everything from the nostalgia. Dragon Demon Stone to replace first. And the other is a pendant with an embedded white demon stone.

Adjust your magic and you're going to do it so that the trap doesn't activate, but the pendant allows you to tell how much the difference is between real and fake in color.

"Operation initiated."

First, lift the pendant from your neck and approach the dragon demon stone placed on the pedestal to see if there is a problem. Trap activated when magic is reduced, but there is no problem with more. This is as documented.

Place a fake in the corner of the pedestal. Next, fake with your right hand, touch the real one with your left hand.

The color of the pendant then changes. Red...... that still makes a difference.

"It was definitely high or low compared to what's on your right hand side...... red, so it's still low"

I put a little effort into my right hand to instill magic. Then the red fades more and more.

"Hmm, I figured if you actually looked into it, you seemed to inject less magic"

'If so, do you mean more powerful dragon demon stones than you expected?

"Might be"

While responding to Gark's words, the shade of the pendant returns to white again. In the case of uniformity, the colors do not change, so we will now align them.

Success.

Take the real thing. And with a little caution, I installed the fake on the pedestal.

No problem so far. Just in case I check again... make sure I followed the procedure.

Now, get the real thing off the pedestal...... there is no guarantee that it will be absolutely fine. It's a moment of tension.

"Let's go..."

"Umm."

Listening to a nervous garc somewhere... I went outside the setup.

Look around. There are no particular abnormalities.

"Nothing… means the operation is complete"

"Then all you have to do is go home."

"Oh. As for the elite knights who will be visiting here, later -"

It was then. Suddenly, I felt my gaze.

"Huh?"

No way, I didn't realize there were knights - etc., but naturally there's nobody in the room.

Lord Luon, what's wrong?

"No... didn't you see any signs?

I didn't feel anything.

Are you out of your mind? But should I look into it just in case?

I'll look around the room. Other than the fact that the dragon demon stone on the pedestal went fake, there has been no change since I entered.

"Is that the magic of hiding the signs...? Resbail, check it out."

If you're activating magic, Resvail's magic detection could be a thread. After I give instructions to the Spirit, I create a sword and walk through the room gently.

I also checked that he might not be in the ceiling or something, but ended up with no results. Will it be hard to get over it?

'Aren't you worried too much?

Gark says. Well, maybe I was a little nervous... when I thought about it, I got a report from a user demon outside.

Human beings in the mountains are being chased by knights.

"Next to next..."

Is the knight a man on the side of the empire? Should I go and see how it goes... I got a little lost and then turned my foot to the exit.
