Sword of the Philosopher

"Yuno, can you hear me?"

In response to the question, Yunoh moved his hand on his lap several times.It is a reaction that you can hear a voice.

"Now, ask Princess Emena a question..."

After telling the details of the incident, Yunoh set aside for a while before he started talking.

"Emena"

I have instructed her to treat her as a companion in advance.That's why I'm here - that's what it means.

"The enemy's aim... if we can figure it out, we might be able to guess where Loden is or what he's trying to do."

"Aim...?"

"The prospect of a man named Rhoden was to awaken the existence of a star god... and to get closer to Prince Livina to accomplish that goal."

"That's right... but that's not all..."

"And even within the organization, the enemy was ready... I don't know how long the tools to manipulate the members of the organization had been in place, but there is no doubt that we took action this time, and there is still a prospect that we can work to achieve our goals... as long as we know what we're aiming for..."

Princess Emena has information about the future of the wise.With what Yunoh has said so far, we should have understood his intentions to some extent.

As a result, the prospect is right… Princess Emena raised her voice as if she had noticed something.

"I see... I'm trying to get something out of contact with the royal family.This disturbance, perhaps, will be in anticipation of the country moving. "

"Using what we're negotiating?"

Princess Emena agreed to Billy's words.

"If you cause a disturbance about the organization, the country will move… and use it as a water catch to achieve its goals.If you were originally in contact with the royal family and trying to make something of it, then the ultimate goal of this case would be something about the royal family. "

"But I doubt it."

And Yunoh opened her mouth even more.

"Compared to working with Prince Livina, this case should be a small one, even if the country moves.And it's hard to imagine that even if we were targeting something from the royal family, we would have started a disturbance to target a facility that would be the tip of the territory. "

"Sure... if I could think about it, would it be inside the castle?"

Castle - We don't know what we have, and Princess Emena needs to check this out... and here she tells Billy.

"I understand the situation. We're going to move... but I'm going to observe you one by one. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I don't mind. Accept in any form… because that's Nova's will as a leader."

In the meantime, the organization itself showed a submissive attitude.For the time being, there seemed to be no mistake about the investigation within the organization.

Billy then left the castle.In addition, the accompanying knight appeared.If there's no hostile intent on the part of the organization, we don't have to interfere anymore...

Then let's see how it goes a little bit more.

Are you sure?

Sometimes, just in case. I'm still a rookie, so I won't be too vigilant from the people in the organization.Let's just stay a little longer. "

If Devils were here, we wouldn't have a problem with the organization...

"So, are there any suggestions?"

I got in touch with Princess Emena.There was Yunoh nearby and we talked again.

"Yes, the enemy was confusing the royal family and trying to gain something... if that's the assumption, it's the mausoleum that's the candidate."

"Mausoleum?"

"It is the tomb of a royal family that exists deep in the castle.Even so, there is not a coffin lined up, but a huge tombstone.It exists in the corner of the castle, and once a year we hold a festival to silence the soul, where we offer our prayers. "

"What happened to that place?"

Since the mausoleum itself does not contain special magic, does it have meaning in the underground part?Surely there is a magical magic in that place that is different from the mausoleum. "

"Is that something to do with the star gods?"

"I wonder if it's possible."

Even if we look into it... it looks like it's going to be difficult to get in.

"What usually happens there?"

There are many knights stationed.The Knights in charge of the mausoleum also exist. "

"Well, then, I'm sure we won't be able to get inside without the confusion."

Is that what the enemy is after?

"I can't say for certain, but I think it's a good candidate... present in the castle, and guarded.Normal people can't get in... and that's where we expected it to be. "

"That means we're going to use the missing to step into the mausoleum."

"I don't know how, but... if the enemy is there, that's who they are."

As for the disturbances in the prediction of the wise man centered on Prince Reno, it will be reasonable.If Princess Emena and Prince Leno were to fight, the castle would be rough and rough.In the scenario of multiplying it and going to the mausoleum... there is no major contradiction with the future seen by the wise man.

Now, specifically this time... what if I could think of one?

"The enemy thinks we haven't figured out what we're after yet... well, the goal of visiting the mausoleum is too abrupt, and Princess Emena can't predict without the information."

"Yes, I think so."

Princess Emena agrees. So I went on.

"In other words, we are in an advantageous position to deal with this... even if the opponent jumps into his or her pocket.But the ideal thing is to find and deal with a man named Loden without causing trouble in the royal castle. "

"We need to move forward in both directions."

I replied "yes" to Princess Emena's mention.

"We will consolidate our search for and defense of the mastermind... of course, we are only speculating.So I want Princess Emena to pick up other potential targets. "

"Okay."

"In the meantime, let's act to find Loden on our own -"
