Sword of the Philosopher

When we finished the discussion and went out, we left the king's villa early enough. When I arrived in town, I decided to arrange an inn and hold a tactical meeting in the room.

"There's an increasing likelihood of the existence of an underground organization....."

"There's no reason to lie to Prince Livina without someone intervening."

Sofia said so and took a small breath.

"Regardless of the situation, given that you are deceiving the royal family, it will be a basis for an investigation such as treason. It's just a matter of concern that you don't know where the enemy is anymore than you're interfering with Prince Livina."

"... I didn't talk about it in the discussion room."

And Lizzie starts talking to Sofia.

"If there was an organization, would there be any movement against Prince Leno? In other words, after Prince Livina's loss, he still has enough influence to send his members to the royal family."

"What a hassle....."

I give my thoughts... until now, it has been a very simple case of fighting an enemy. But this time, the enemy has a certain political power. In this case, it would be very troublesome for us who are not human beings in the country.

Because it is only an external person, it can develop into an international problem if it interferes politically. It would be tough to stand up and act no matter how close you are to kings and princesses Emena.

"The King said he would investigate... there is a danger that the arrival of the Star God will be accelerated if he hits hard, so how far can we investigate..."

"For now, there's no way."

Lizzie gives her opinion. There's something good going on.

"But after all, it's a power trick."

"... what are you doing?

"I'll use the Magus to find out who enters and leaves the castle anyway. As long as there is a clear connection with the King, it will be possible to lurk the devil in the royal castle."

"I see... but in that case, I have two concerns."

"One is the star god, right?"

And Sofia is the opinion.

"I don't know how far the other party is using the technology of the Star God… We were not worried about Prince Livina's surroundings, but if the other party is organizing and acting, they may have their own technology of the Star God."

I see. Even if you use a magician to counter the power of the Star God... if you see it somewhere, you'll be out in one shot. That's very risky. "

"... Master Leon, what about the other one?

"It's a simple story. It is not impossible to send a magician to the royal castle. I think you can do as long as you have enough numbers, and as long as you're clear about the star gods... but if you have enough numbers, you need to focus on them."

In the battle against the Demon King, I sent samurai magicians across the continent. However, only when something happens can I see the point of view of the Master. I wasn't always observing it, and the subject was clear... in other words, it was easy to observe it using the magic of the user because the object of observation was Philip or Alto, and it was centered on a specific person.

In this case, however, we will find members of the undercover organization who do not know where they are… if anything, it is similar to security guards continuing to guard the facility with surveillance cameras and the like. In other words, we must take the time to observe if there is anyone suspicious.

"If we're going to do this, we're going to have to wait for the Star God countermeasure."

Well then, it's the end of the line.

Sort of. Because I want time to cope, but I'm squandering that precious time. Nevertheless, I don't think it would be right to leave it to the King or Princess Emena. "

"... then, yes."

And Lizzie makes a further contribution.

"Perhaps we can only look into the ruins as far as we can, using the clues we've looked into them."

"I mean, based on a list of Surveyors or something, we're looking for anyone suspicious. If I did, it would be easy, but I'm sure the King is investigating the area."

If we were to gather investigative materials to try Prince Livina, we would be able to investigate without suspicion. I'm sure the King has also begun work on this point.

"However, it seems that we will check the list and move... I'll ask for a list later."

"I see.... I wonder if that's all we can decide at this stage."

"That's right... now, when I get back, I'll take measures against the Stargods again."

I change my mind... so that the organization's actions will not cause any problems... we have the information. The pace of building countermeasures is faster than before.

Anyway, now that I've done my research…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Then I will return to the Mansion and proceed with my work. Princess Emena also gave me a list of ruins investigators, and when I was free, Lise and others looked into it. That said, we don't know about the investigators, we don't know about the people outside the continent, but we also seem to know about Lord Forna.

"I'm also the one who's studying ancient times. Some people have looked at each other several times."

and. So Lizzie came up with something, and I'm talking to Forna... and I'm going to work on it without involving you.

I wonder when I spent about ten days in the Mansion. It's not just a form, but a tactic to confront the star gods... or defeat them has been assembled.

"Garc, what do you say?

Hmm, it's a technique that seems to have a better chance of winning than before.

Yes, García returned the answer. Yeah, thanks to the video that Bredge left behind.

"In addition to this, combining the means we've been devising... the effects should be synergistic."

"It doesn't offset the effects, does it?

It's up to you to train. I don't suppose Lord Leon is going to run this down in real time, either? Then we'll have to train for the coming day. "

Of course... but the shape is fixed, so the pace of work from here is likely to be faster. Perhaps we can produce results in less than six months.

At that time, there was a knock on the room. When I replied, the door opened and Lise appeared.
