Sword of the Philosopher

Deep Problems

The moment Gadia moved her legs, so did the adventurers around her.And so did Lise and Eina.First, the adventurers attacked at once.

Full simultaneous attack. The timing was perfect, and the number of blades directed at Lise and Eina were exactly the same - Gadia herself, feeling threatened, split the power equally.And from the battle so far, I predicted that the adventurers would struggle if they set it up at the same time, and I still thought that was enough.

From a Gadian point of view, the best course of action is... the way Wood fights, but he calmly analyzes the situation and comes up with the best solution.Perfect as a plan, at least, and really troublesome from the side of the fight.

But there's only one thing that can overturn his expectations... that's the strength of Lise and the others.Fighting so far. Magic Nullification is working, and they can't do anything about it.But still... he's got enough power to overwhelm us, even if he doesn't do everything he can.

The adventurers approached Lise and Eina - the match was instantaneous.When they split up, all the adventurers blew up.

"... eh?"

Gadia shouted indiscretionarily - she couldn't cope with Eina's constant tenderness.

It's too late to return to me.Eina's sword is pounded into Gadia's body.

"Ghh...!"

A gadia that staggers your body and can withstand it.However, the gap was wide open, so it was impossible to discern Lize's imminent attack.

Her attack entered Gadia's brain.Of course he did, and he's falling down... so he finally fell down.

It's over.

"Yeah."

Answering Eina's words, Lizzie approaches the adventurer and begins to investigate.

"I don't feel the magic of the system of manipulation...The Gadia fainted and it seems to have lost its effectiveness. "

"It's hard to believe he was manipulating all the adventurers."

"Yes, I've decided in advance on a team to get here, and I'm pretty sure Gadia left those adventurers to me."

Eina looks around. After seeing the adventurer fall,

"... I can explain that most of the adventurers who entered King's Landing came here just by looking at the number of people here..."

I don't think so.

When she told him that she understood something, she turned to me - that is, the Observatory Man.

"This could be a deeper problem than I imagined."

That being said, she started walking towards the lab.Of course, I explained the situation.I would call people to embrace people who have passed out.

So I took a breath and took away the point of view of the wizard who watched Lise and the others.

"... what do you think, Sofia?"

Turning to her, who was watching the situation together, she saw the document.

"Apparently, besides the people who belong to the organization, there are people who are being manipulated.Some of the people who are down have features that aren't in the material. "

"Maybe someone from the Adventurers Guild who was in King's Landing... even if someone named Loden had prepared it beforehand, and if we get there, we simply won't be able to finish the story within the organization called" Warriors of the Stars "."

"If you just catch someone you've seen, it's easy to understand."

And Garc tells me and Sofia.

"If you are using tools, you must be trusted by at least a number of adventurers."

"I mean, does Loden have such a big face... or a position to be trusted?"

I feel like the latter.I don't think anyone has the tools they gave me... without letting go. "

"If it's a gift from a powerful man... or something related to the Adventurers Guild, you're not gonna let it go."

"Hmm... but the problem is, I still don't know who Loden is."

"I've been observing people scattered by magicians... but I can't identify them."

For example, if you're heading straight to a mausoleum, you might be able to guess who it is, but now one of Loden's crew is traveling around town without exception.Is there any other reason to scatter the chaser on the assumption that it is being observed?

Lord Leon, who is likely to target an important facility next?

"Wait a minute... ah, there's someone heading for the park.It's accompanied by adventurers... "

Park - If you don't know what it's for, you'll be tilting your neck.But Princess Emena designated it an important place.

The reason is that there are huge magic stones embedded in the park grounds.It is unlikely that it will be the key to the coming of the Star God, but Princess Emena mentioned it just in case.

Then why are magic stones in the park... Originally, the land where the King's City is located is a thing of the past - there seems to be a history of repeated wars and bloodshed.Consolation monuments exist in the King's City to console those who have died in such battles.

Especially the park was a historically meaningful place.Because this is where the monarch of the kingdom, destroyed by the Holy Kingdom of Rebate, was executed.Magic Stones exist to comfort those beings and to suppress the power of the ghosts.

Princess Emena's concerns are not limited to the star gods.The history of the existence of magic stones is only history, and it is not necessarily abused.For example, there is the possibility of destroying the Magic Stone in order to distract the moving knights and us.Because of the effects of Magic Nullification, there is a view that even if the Magic Stone is destroyed, the effects will be limited… Princess Emena has exercised the utmost vigilance over the technology of the Star God.The chances of being abused are not zero... that's why I decided I should protect you.

Besides, me and Sofia agreed and deployed.If the enemy were to go there, Princess Emena's concerns would have been met.The park is also large, so the number of people is commensurate.

"There's a separate team."

Apart from the first person to go to the park, there are others who are leading adventurers.Seems like a fierce battle... With such a hunch, we first confronted the man we were observing and our people.
