Sword of the Philosopher

Once everyone has returned to the village, I will begin my cave investigation using the demon. If there is a base of enemies here, I know that I am using the demon to investigate it... but it feels like it is now, so I will work hard.

I'm also going to start mapping etc...... it's a bigger cave than I imagined. This was right to turn back.

"Master Luon, you don't know if there are ruins of angels in the use demon, do you?

"Oh, not at all... I guess I could just let Les Bailes fly, but it'd be a hassle if demons came from the surrounding woods or something"

Resvail is currently on escort duty to a place where guarding is difficult. Because of the request made by Eina and still fulfilling her mandate. There's no choice but to talk about what's going on because there's a thin part out there that's more to it than knights and soldiers are moving around.

If we could, we'd like to check the woods for demons with man-made sea tactics... but we didn't even realize it was critical when we engaged. Therefore, it was too dangerous for knights and soldiers who were insufficiently equipped or otherwise to move against this demon. So we came to the conclusion that we should be thorough in protecting it.

As a matter of fact, villagers and people in town have become a complement to their activities...... there will be more fights like this in the future, rather it could be a good opportunity to get used to it.

"... um, the search in the cave is progressing... but it's really huge"

There exists a path that stretches underground, but it has no end. I almost suspect that it occurred naturally, but the passages and so on are obviously hands on people, so it is extremely likely that the ruins of angels are somewhere.

"... if a ruin existed somewhere in this cave, it might have been a fairly massive place"

"The cave is huge in the first place..."

"Hey, I have one question."

Ask Lize as she looks at the map she wrote down on the pretend.

"There are ruins of angels in a part of the cave, right?

"As for form, it does. It doesn't really matter how big the cave is because the ruins of angels are in places that can be called different spaces... in some cases there might be two or three ruins instead of one."

"I see... what I wondered was if this time the mastermind was a demon tribe, why could I have noticed the existence of this ruin..."

"Oh, there. Isn't that what the Demon King had in his possession, or was looking into beforehand?

"But no matter how many sacred mountains called Mount Ferno, even humans do a little research, don't they? If they didn't recognize that there was a ruin in this place despite... how could the Demon King have known it was in this place"

"... there must have been no reports of angel ruins on this mountain in the records of the investigation of the kingdom of Barks."

And, Sophia opens her mouth.

"This is within the territory of the Kingdom of Barks, and it will not be examined by the investigative bodies of other countries. Even if it did, there should be a definite record. As Sister Reese said, if you're a Demon, you're concerned about the source of the information."

"If I were the Demon King, I would have afforded to find out... Hmm"

At least it's hard to imagine that the Demons stumbled across this place and turned it into a Negijo... but it's possible that we've been reading too much and actually it's just a miracle.

If the weaponry in the possession of the mastermind of this case is a ruin in that cave, it is once and for all convincing that it has never been found or that there has been a large quantity of weaponry. It's the ruins of an angel that exists in a space this big. If it was untouched and multiple, it wouldn't be strange to have weapons.

However, as far as I'm concerned, I don't think that's the flow... the origin of the weapon is unknown, but at least because there was some basis for the mastermind sitting here... is that a more reasonable interpretation?

I found a new space so I'll write it down on the map... but seriously, it's huge.

"Even if we look into this, we're gonna need a bigger team of investigators than we do right now."

"But, Master Luon, we can't ask for it at this time."

"Naturally... um, we'll put the Knights around the entrance to keep an eye on the entrance, and in the meantime we'll check the cave... is this a reasonable neighborhood?

"That seems the only way. Which means we're going to need more reinforcements from the castle."

"I'd like to avoid any more large areas... but I can't say so either."

More than there's been a report of you playing my offense, if you make a reinforcement request, you'll agree to it lightly.

"Right...... first monitor demonic trends by the user demon. If a demonic raid comes while there is no movement in the cave, investigate whether it was an individual hiding in the woods or if there are other Azitos... narrow his place as he peeks at the way out of the enemy... investigate the cave in earnest when reinforcements arrive. I like this."

"Right."

"Yes, I agree"

Reese and Sophia snort successively. Yeah, you've got a policy. The activities are quite plain, crushing the candidates for places one by one into the tunnel. I don't even know if I'll get results, so I'm going to build up frustration and stuff... but I just have to be patient.

The army is going to be even bigger from here, so I just want to end it in an extra short period of time... depending on how hard we work.

"After tomorrow, we'll do a demonic investigation about the area around the mountain anyway. Be careful because there is also a risk of engagement"

Even if Sophia and the others didn't say anything to my words, I nodded and the discussion ended. I even decided to go into mapping.

How long does that last...... I'm using multiple user demons to find out, but it's really endless. Garc was amazing, too.

"If it's such a massive space, it looks like a gnome."

"But I don't even see a spirit-like... is there a reason?

"Shortly after entering the cave, I felt a lot of hard magic. It is unclear whether it occurs naturally, or whether the ruins of an angel exist late... but there is something in that place that does not send spirits'

"You kind of started to say... it was just flower picking, but I didn't know it was going to be this far"

Wouldn't it start if I moaned... I still haven't seen any signs that things would progress, but I decided to think I had moved on with discovering the cave... and put my temper back into work starting tomorrow.
