"This is where the smell of" Armored Ghost "is strongest."

The puppy Garm stopped near the top of Rock Mountain.

I keep my nose close to the rock wall and I smell it desperately.

This is near the summit of Rock Mountain.

Me and Odette helped the Natasha-Torias, and then we came this far to find the 'Armed Auga' nest.

The bat Dick and Cliff, and the puppy Garm, are with us.

To Natasha-Torias, who are on the coast, he says he will be back by dawn.

By now, we should be getting ready to leave the port.

"Is there a 'Armed Auga' nest around here"

"Wow"

I did Garm's head.

Even though "Magic Blood" enhances your sense of smell (cumber), it's a big deal to look for it in a short time.

"Where does the smell come from? Do you have an exact location?

'It smells from across the rock. Around here -'

Garm put his face close to the corner of the rock wall.

It looks like a dead end, but... no.

There's a thin gap, and Garm's got his nose stuck there.

"When the smell comes out of it, is it a hidden door?"

"Hidden doors? Is it magical?

"It's not unusual technology. I used to build wall-like doors around and fix them with magic, too."

"Sure, some of that stuff."

"If it's easy, it can be achieved with magic tools. The baron's tutor used it a lot to harass me. Don't open the bookshelf."

"It's a waste of technology."

"I'll tell him when I see him."

As for magic, it's not that hard.

In my last life, I built a hidden room in the old castle.

The contents were a record describing the physical condition and illness of the villagers.

I've been moving since Alice identified me.

"But... what lies ahead doesn't seem like such a peaceful thing"

I cut my hand flat and rubbed my blood against my rock skin.

If it's just rocky skin, 'Magic Blood' shouldn't work...

"Erosion (hacking) begins..."

After all, there's a magical reaction.

It's not "ancient magic".

As expected, teacher Kahle used it, just like rock magic.

I can disarm this.

Internal Magic - Analysis complete.

Adhesive magic to rock walls - and mobile magic.

Begin interfering with adhesive magic - success.

Magic supply to magic that moves rock walls - success.

This hidden door opens by instilling the magic of a determined person - or demon.

Whose other magic is that orga's magic set?

In the meantime, let's change the place to instill magic.

There's a point to instill magic in the gap between the rocks, so change it as much as you want.

Let's set up a little trap, too.

Don't let the guy who made this place open it himself again.

"Sorry, Odette, I need a little help"

"I get it." Body Enhancement (Boosted) "!"

"" Me! "" "Ruru!

Shiru.

When we pushed it, the rock wall slid straight to the side.

"Wow... it's open"

"This door was starting to open with the sensation of certain human and demonic powers."

"So this is, after all, that orga nest?

"I guess. Besides, there's a magician involved."

Me and Odette stepped across the rock wall.

The interior was a well-maintained cave.

High ceilings. This would also put that auga in at your leisure.

But it's desolate inside.

There's a worn out Yoroi on the ground and a broken sword.

Leftover food. Some are like animal bones.

"The smell of" Armed Auga "is amazing -"

Lulu, and Garm gives an uncomfortable voice.

"You mean this is that 'Armed Auga' nest"?

"... in the bones of the beast, in the flesh... there are weapons too."

"I have a desk... but it's decaying. And the drawers are falling."

Beneath the desk was the wreckage of a book.

All the pages are gone and only the cover remains.

This...

"The First Dictionary of the Church of the Sanctuary"... "

In the drawer is a piece of parchment.

I can manage to read the letters. Eh.

"" The Eight Kings War will be over soon, "" We'll have a resurgence, "" Here's your weapon "...?

"No way...... is this really the 'Sanctuary Church' hideout, is it!?

"It must have been made over 200 years ago"

Far back in the day, the 'Church of the Sanctuary' realized the importance of this place and maintained a port town.

It's not weird to make a safe house or so.

"Garm. Is all you have here is the smell of 'Armed Auga'? What's the human smell?

'I do. Oshi-jun.'

Wow, and the puppy garm barked.

'One... No, it's you two. Along with "Armed Auga," there are two humans, in here. "

"There's been a lot of people here lately."

I told Odette what Garm said.

"That's someone who gave Armed Auga a shield with Yoroi."

"Who is it!?

"With Dorothea-Zamuels... I guess someone else. Ask The Sorcery Guild to check it out."

Dorothea and someone were doing research on 'Armed Auga' here.

After Dorothea was captured, did he unleash the orga, or did the orga that lost the orgasm run wild?

You need to take the time to find out after this.

When we get back to "The Town of Gazanon," we'll send a letter to Iris.

If you tell her about getting the shield and this place, she'll report you to The Magic Guild. That should get you the investigation.

The situation where the lair of the 'Sanctuary Church' is under the direct authority of the royal family sucks.

Let's get it cleaned up.

"So, Garm, what are you gonna do now? If you want to go back to the village, you can stop using my demons."

"I'll follow you -"

Wow, and Garm rang with a pretty voice.

My mother taught me to return the favor.

"Okay. Well, good to see you again."

As he held his head, Garm waved his tail (tail) vigorously.

Let's check the status.

"Garm.

'... Speaking of which, even from your baggage, you can smell' Armed Auga ', right?

"Oh, when I fought him, I found a strange crystal."

I took the red crystal out of the leather bag.

It came out when I defeated 'Armed Auga'.

The shape is spherical. Translucent, with black lines running on the surface.

"Check this out, too." "Erosion." "

Pour in "Magic Blood" and you will see the magic in the crystal and the magic flow.

I know, but... what is this?

The crystal itself consolidates a high concentration of magic.

But some strange sorcery has been planted.

Internal Magic - Analysis complete.

Sorcery Structure - found to be 'Violent (Bursark)'.

Analysis continues - Complete.

"What was that crystal?

"Simply put, it's a magic crystal that strengthens organisms and runs them off"

"-Run!?

"Instead of being ferocious, the creatures who took this in become more powerful in magic and vitality. The point is, it feels like a risky class up item."

"Instead of losing your sanity, it's an item that makes you stronger......?

"I guess that 'Armed Auga' also took this in and became such a creature as' Auga/Modified 'or' Second Auga '"

"I thought it was too big for you."

"I guess you should also submit this to the 'Magic Guild'..."

... I'd like to mess with you. This material.

I'm offering everything from this facility to the Magic Guild, so you can get about a drop item.

"Materials that make organisms ferocious are too dangerous."

"Right. Odette, I said something really good!

"Oh, really?

"So let's just purify it"

"Huh? That? Yuki?"

"My 'Magic Blood' can erase pathogens, so the same procedure should only disable the effect of 'Violent'"

Pour 'Magic Blood' into the palm of your hand and dip the crystals.

The crystals were purified, along with light that was pale.

The black line that was on the surface disappeared into a clean red color.

Now we're not supposed to be ferocious if we take it in anymore.

"It's already just a high-concentration magic crystal. When a creature eats, it's usually more powerful."

"If I use your Magic Blood, I can't submit it to the Magic Guild..."

"Hey, I was accidental. Damn it. What shall we do?"

"Why is it a bar read, Yuki"

"I don't know how long I'll be able to save it, and I'd rather use it..."

Pepper. Pepper.

Looking at my foot, Garm was tapping on my shoes.

"Wow!

"You want it? Garm."

"Can you get along? I want it! '

"Mmm."

I held Garm up and checked his status again.

Touch with your hands to confirm the magic in Garm's body and the magic of the crystal filled with my 'Magic Blood'.

Considering the knowledge of the villagers and livestock (kachiku) in their previous lives...

... Sounds ok.

Garm is my demon, and he is familiar with my magic.

But this crystal is purifying by pouring my 'magic blood'.

"Erosion (Hacking)" again - I knew it was something else perfectly separate.

It's turning into a magic source for my demons.

This should also be familiar with Garm's body.

"... digest slowly, eh?

"Wow."

"Hey, Yuki?

"It's okay."

I put the crystal that hit "Magic Blood" on my palm.

Garm licked it with his little tongue, peppered it.

Then the crystal melts.

They integrated it with my magic. And go straight into the garm.

"Wow wow!!

Garm's body glowed red.

Garm, who was a puppy, grows up, little by little.

As it was, I grew up all by myself.

"Garm.

"Evolved -"

"All right."

"You're not saying that..."

Odette's holding his forehead.

"He said he would quickly defeat 'Armed Auga' and find the nest and the 'Sanctuary Church' Ajito to evolve the user demon... how much are you doing in one night!?

"Bad, because there was material that looked interesting"

You're a bad sorcerer.

What makes me want to mess with when I find material that seems to be available in my field of research.

This' High Magic Crystal 'has the effect of enhancing the life and magic of creatures.

If you study this and combine it with my "Mystery Blood,"

Maybe you can immortalize someone other than me.

"And I thought if we evolved Garm, we could be Odette's escort."

"............... how could you do this to me?

"It's not like we're not gonna meet 'Armed Auga' level enemies again, and besides, Garm's named parent is Odette, right?

"Also, already...... ok!

Odette swept his cheeks, he said.

"Sure, it's important to evolve Mr. Garm, as well as to find out what 'Armed Auga' dropped...... ok. It's time to go back."

"Right. I'm keeping Natasha Torrias waiting."

"Yes. This is the princess of the border area I'm going to go to. Don't be rude...... oh?

Unexpectedly, Odette looked at his feet.

Looks like he's raising one leg and checking something out.

"What's up? Odette."

"I think I stepped on something stiff... oh, this is it"

Odette picked up something round from the ground.

It's a metal coin.

"Copper coins, right? It's something I've never seen."

"Isn't it from the kingdom?

"From time to time, local lords may cast currencies that can only be used on their territory, but it seems too good to do so...?

"The magician's belongings that came here... or 200 years ago..."

"I'll collect it. It could be a clue."

Odette put the coin in a leather bag.

After checking the cave again, we went outside and closed the hidden door.

I rewrote the magic that locked the hidden door.

Even if the owner of the room comes, he shouldn't be able to get inside.

It's been a long night.

"Let's go back to the ship and get some sleep."

From the eastern side of the Inland Sea, the sun is beginning to rise.

Then Odette and I slowly went down the Rock Mountain and back to the ship.
