Sword of the Philosopher

There are two soldiers on the lookout at the castle gate, but they'll talk to them first to get them through... Now, what happens?

We approach the castle gate quietly. There's no one else, so of course you can see us, but Sophia and I are wearing a jacket and a hood. Naturally you should feel suspicious as a soldier,

-There they are.

And when I was told, me and Sophia took the hood off. As soon as possible, the soldier stops.

"... can you bring someone who knows what the situation is?

In short, Sophia says, the soldiers look at each other once,

"Please wait a moment"

One enters the castle. The race was thrown... all we have to do is watch what happens.

"Something, don't be nervous..."

"Right......"

When we had that conversation, the soldiers came back. When I thought it was a long time ago, I was accompanied by one knight.

"Princess...!

Stunning knight. Um, I don't think I can explain the situation.

thinking about what to do, the knight immediately squeezed his face,

"I'm sorry. Well, the people who know what's going on are in a meeting, and they've been notified not to let anyone in..."

"Conference?"

Sophia tilting her neck. The knight nodded,

"Well, maybe we're discussing where you two are."

... I wish someone could have gone there to report it, but the look on the face of the knight made me scrupulous not to go in without permission, maybe I can't get close.

"Sophia, what do we do?

"... where is that meeting?

When asked, the knight explains. According to Sophia, it's also a particularly large conference room in the castle.

So you're arguing that it's uh, dude. Probably some garc or something. Maybe because there's a god spirit or something out there, I don't want to inadvertently enter the castle people, starting with the knights.

"Then let's go there."

"... what if it wasn't about us?

"I wonder if there's a difference between you two."

Here the knight enters the follow.

"Because the spirits are also in the conference room. In addition, those in the castle have been instructed to wait in place."

Uh, that sounds definitive. So I took a glance at Croix and the others,

"Let's go inside"

"What about you?

The knight asks. I wondered how you explained it, the arrow tip, Sophia said.

"He traveled this far with us, a benefactor."

"Benefactor...... thank you all so much. I'm sorry I can't entertain you as this one, but if you don't mind taking your time at this castle."

With that said, the knight shows his gratitude. From there, Sophia stated to return to the knight. He left. And to the guard soldier, I'll make a meeting and go inside with the Croix and the others.

I soon found out that it was different from when I was previously entertained. Not popular. I told him earlier that the knight had been instructed to wait at a predetermined location... the effect?

"There's no one but the castle gate watchman."

And Croix shrugged that she thought the same thing.

"What do you mean there are no soldiers patrolling the castle...?

"- It's not like just paying people."

And, Sophia spoke here.

"Possible is to do something using the magic formations prepared for this castle"

"Magic Formation?

I frown. You've never heard of anything like that.

"We couldn't take advantage of it when the Demon Kings raided, but there are magic formations in the castle that have the effect of protecting it."

"You mean it helps when fighting cage castles"

"Yes, it's just that secret passageways don't fall within the scope of protection, so if we go through there, we can get inside the castle... anyway, let's use that magic formation to find us, maybe we're talking in a direction like"

"And is there a reason why there are so few knights and soldiers?

"You may be concerned about the magic sickness that makes you ill, etc. Since it is inherently just a magic formation that forms a magic barrier, it is unlikely that magic will be emitted during activation, such as magic sickness, but if you are going to exercise magic like you are looking for us this time, you will have to use the power of the magic formation for a long time. So the impact is huge, so we wait where we can prevent it."

I'm concerned about protecting the castle... but is it an interpretation that there are no problems because there are spirits?

As for the watch, the Spirit may be using magic. If you're aware that we're back... if you're making all sorts of moves to take advantage of the magic team, you might be confused around here. If that's the case, it's why they won't notice us entering the castle.

"You're going to go directly to that room and show your face... Sophia"

"Right."

While we're having a conversation, we're moving on inside the castle... well, it's not like there's anyone else involved, so this might be convenient for us. You don't have to explain Croix and the others.

That's why we moved on to the upper level of the castle with guidance from Sophia… I could feel a little magic going up there.

"You're doing something."

"Sounds like it."

Sophia's prediction sounds like a hit. Once you realize the magic, you begin to be aware of it. The magic is shapeless and I'm not sure what I'm trying to do.

Could it be the stage we're experimenting with to take advantage of the magic formations in the castle...? If so, is it on the table at this meeting that I have decided to use this method? Or are you currently making various attempts and errors by deciding to do it?

"... Sophia, is it quite important to use the magic formations that exist in the castle?

"We use the magic that exists in this castle and the land around it, so there's no doubt it's massive."

"... why did you decide to do it in this castle?

The inquiry came from Amel.

"Assuming the Spirit is trying to do all sorts of things, it seems more efficient to do it at the Spirit's base."

"You can't mention it here because you don't know what method you're actually trying to do there... it's just that there's a wide variety when it comes to the base of the Spirit, and you come out with places you don't like due to attributes and stuff. Maybe this is where the spirits can work together without mutual problems."

... If the Spirit or something is hand in hand, then maybe Sophia is definitely right. Does that mean that if I opened the conference hall, I might even be at Feus or Azua, not just Garc?

It's obvious but it's pretty important...... it would have been quite a long time from them, though I could have come back early for it from the demonic world. I may have decided to explore a variety of ways to find them and use them this time.

"... if the spirits are gathering, there's a chance that the conversation will go a long way"

Well, I open my mouth.

"We're trying to get the help of spirits and angels, and if there were spirits... if there were spirits, we could negotiate to get the help of spirits here"

"Before that, I feel like treating us, the Demons, as suspicious people."

"Well, me and Sophia can handle the neighborhood."

"I'll follow you."

Croix replied "OK"... that's when Sophia pointed her finger.

One door directly in front. Apparently, that's the end point.

At this point in time, it seems nice to notice us and the door opens, but it doesn't look like that. How focused are you on your work?

Me and Sophia get a hard look. You won't have to be so nervous if you're just coming back. But negotiations are awaited this time.

To succeed... we reached the door in the middle of a lot of ideas.
