"Gyoshi Jun. There was this thing. '

A parchment with fine letters was found by Garm during his search for Ajito.

This is the best, Felipe-Guerrast smells strong, they say.

"Some kind of plan? This."

Written on parchment are the names of Felipe-Guerrast, the user of The Beast King (Lord of) Ride (Beast), and Dorothea-Zamuels, who previously used The Spirit King (Lord of) Ride (Phantom).

Underneath is a description of what they do, and for what purpose.

"Their ultimate purpose... is to infiltrate the giant dungeon of the King's capital, Elusion"

"They were still one of us."

Me and Odette took the time to check that plan.

Dorothea-Zamuels and I fought once.

He was a user of "Necromancer Magic" and was good at manipulating people.

Before that, he approached and used the aristocracy of the Count's house as a flushing magician. That's how I tried to bring up the bishop of The Sanctuary Church as a dead spirit.

"Their ultimate purpose is infiltration into the giant dungeon 'Elusion'. Bring 'King's Ride' to that place and confuse the King's Capital. Bring in the 'Sanctuary Church' sympathizers in the country and occupy the 'Elusion' …"

"That's a big plan."

"I don't like the subtlety of not being impossible."

If the two Kings Ride (Road) and Armed Auga work together, we can do enough to confuse the Wang Capital.

In the first place, "Beast King's Ride" usually comes over the walls. When it comes in combination with the King of Spirits Ride, which is equipped with a shield against sorcery...

"At least there were dozens of casualties out there."

"I'm glad they failed. Really."

Dorothea-Zamuels defeated him, and "King of Spirits Ride" gave him to The Sorcery Guild.

The scorched Felipe-Guerrust attacked Count Torrias, but managed to stop him. The Beast King Ride was also confiscated.

That's why we're able to explore his aside.

"But... the materials that show our connection to the Empire... nothing in particular."

This one was unexpected.

I thought the Gaiul Empire was supporting the remnants of the Sanctuary Church.

It would have been definitive if the Emperor or the other nobleman had signed the paperwork on it, but there's nothing like that.

There was about a note written about how to contact the rest of the 'Sanctuary Church'.

This will help me enough.

"... that's about all I can tell here"

I put the materials on the table.

The soldiers in the investigation team are still searching for a home.

In piles of parchment paper, all the way to the pot containing the demon's helmet, armor and water, in the corner of the room.

They're going to take everything suspicious back. Reasonable.

It's faster that way than checking every single one of the materials here. That's Count Torrias' investigative team, competent.

And then... I'll be fine with leaving it to you.

"Excuse me. Can I come out for a second?

I spoke to the captain of the investigation team.

The captain and then Odette look at me and look strange.

"I'd like to see 'The Old Battlefield of Veral' while it's bright. Ladies and gentlemen, you're staying overnight in a nearby village, right? I'll meet you at night."

"I don't mind that...... how did you end up on the old battlefield?

"... I'm interested in history"

To the captain, I said.

"I want to see for myself what's going on now where there was a match 200 years ago. Otherwise... somehow, I feel like I'm leaving homework behind."

─ ─ On the same afternoon, the ancient battlefield of Varal ─

In the early hours of the afternoon, I made my way to the 'old battlefield of Veral'.

They flew in a combination of "Body Enhancement (Boosted)" 2x (Double) and "Flight Skills," so it took less than half the time for the carriage.

Until sundown, there's still going to be time.

'I guess you have an idea because it's about Yuki. I'm not telling you not to go.'

In Azito, after listening to me, Odette said.

'But at least take the user demon. I will look into this place with you a little more. I'll tell Yuki everything I know.'

That's what Odette sent me out. I laughed bitterly.

I left Dick with Odette's escort, and I came all the way here with Garm.

In front of you is a plain of dust.

Really no grass, no trees, no growing at all.

The ground is solid soil and scratching only leaves shallow nail marks (after the claws).

"This is the 'old battlefield of Veral'..."

Where a sorcery match took place after I died in my previous life.

I wanted to see this place.

Even after my "Dean-Nosferatu" death in my previous life, "Sanctuary Church" continued its rampage. They had a huge war, involving a lot of countries. That's the Eight Kings War.

I know that as knowledge.

But I wanted to take a closer look at the actual battlefield trail by myself.

Dean-Nosferatu died before The Eight Kings War.

So I wasn't directly involved in that fight.

But... I still care.

It's like I remember doing my homework after I was reincarnated, that's how I feel.

If I hadn't lived... Dean-Nosferatu, would I have been at war?

Seeing the mighty "ancient magic" used here, I ran out of bees in the tragedy, and maybe even helped with the wounded.

Though I can't be sure anymore.

... The guys from "Village of Fira" were okay, right?

You're not even caught up in this battlefield... those guys.

"... and you really don't see the creature."

"Wow."

In my arms, Garm answered.

"I hardly smell normal creatures. Oshi-jun. '

"How's the smell of demons?

'There is leftover incense -. But he doesn't seem to be anywhere near you. "

"Oh well. Then ask for a look around. I'm gonna do some research on this place for a while."

"It's my home -!

Garm gets out of my arms and runs around.

I painted the crest of Ancient Sorcery.

"Activated." "Goddess Random (Force J Earth)" "

Duh.

When you activate the sorcery, a stone spear pops out of the ground.

I flipped it in the air and slapped my tip to the ground.

No!

It sounded like a slap on something tough and there was a hole in the ground.

Smaller than I thought.

It seems that the ground of this land is as strong as stone.

Besides, the power of magic is weaker than usual.

"Magic Blood" written on the palm of my hand disappears quickly as well.

Is this land weaker in the atmosphere than elsewhere?

In this world where we are, there is magic in the earth, in the atmosphere, in the water.

The sorcerer is using it to activate magic.

I do immortality in the first place because the power to take in the magic that drifts through the world is stronger than human beings.

Because of the magic that goes around your body, you never get old or sick.

Because the captured magic is absorbed into the blood, the blood becomes' Magic Blood 'containing high concentrations of magic.

But the magic in this place is a little different.

It's hard to take in unscrupulous and bitter, and thin.

I also somehow know what the Garms said about 'the magic of the devil'.

We don't grow grass in this state, and it's impossible to grow crops.

If this is the ancient battlefield of the 'Eight Kings War'...... how many places are there like this?

As a magician, I want to know what sorcery was used here.

In my last life, I died knowing that, but this time, I want to know everything I can. "Ancient Artifacts" or "Ancient Sorcery". Maybe what 'ancient magical civilization' was like, if possible.

Well, for the time being, I'm not even planning on dying.

"Goshiju-kun"

When I realized, Garm was coming back near me.

'Looks like someone's approaching here. Oshi-jun.'

"Thanks. What kind of guy?

'It's a carriage. There's a soldier, he's tingling. We're in a hurry.'

"Carriage? From the village?

"No, in the opposite direction...... uh, from someone who has an" Ariago ". If you could" buzz "the garm more, I would. Okay?

"You don't have to intercept me. Is that it?"

From across the street, I saw a white carriage approaching.

Around the carriage are soldiers and people in white robes.

Did they notice me or slowed down the carriage?

Soldiers don't keep their spears up and try to point them this way. I don't think I'm willing to fight.

The carriage is large with decorative decorations. Nobles who own this kind of thing don't.

I don't know if you've loaded that carriage onto a ship and crossed the Inland Sea, or if you got it this way in the Inland Sea, but you're not going to mount such a splendid thing on an ancient battlefield.

Royal and aristocratic formats are troublesome.

Of course, that carriage wouldn't be his hobby to ride.

Eventually, the gibberish made a noise and the carriage stopped.

The carriage door opens softly. But the people inside aren't coming down.

Looks like he's going down, but the people around him are holding the door.

This is probably a format, too.

In my position, I found a carriage. I guess I should hurry up and greet you.

I know that, but my robe is getting dirty because I was investigating Felipe-Guerrust's Azito, and even more brown because I dusted it with dirt on the 'old battlefield of Veral'.

As someone who welcomes the crew of that carriage, I wonder.

"Wow. Someone's knocking on the carriage door from the inside.

"Garm, you, I like your ears."

'Nose is better. She's probably the girl in the carriage, isn't she?

"I know that too."

Odette tells me she's on her way over here.

I don't think the royal princess should go wheeling, but he's a lump of action.

That's what happened 200 years ago.

At the end of the year in "Village of Fira," I was supposed to tell my parents about my children's studies.

It is a traditional event that has lasted for many years. When it's over, it becomes a festival.

But his rating has always been 'I hope you're keen to study, but let's calm down'.

Her father, Lyle, and her mother, Remilia, always laughed.

That personality doesn't seem to change after 200 years.

"I'm coming. Garm."

"Yes. Oshiju-kun."

I'll take Gulm and walk out to the carriage with the most courteous hips possible.

Soldiers of escorts and magicians in robes pave the way.

Someone is knocking on the carriage door from the inside, more and more.

A female magician holding it down opened the door with a surprisingly graceful motion. At the same time, I'll make you turn to me.

When I knelt down as I had done, a girl in a pure white robe appeared from the carriage.

"Oh, thank you for the welcome. My escort knight, Master Yuki-Grossalia."

"All the way, welcome. His Royal Highness Iris-Leastia"

Standing at the doorstep of the carriage, Iris had a bat cliff on his shoulder and a giggling grin.

She looked at me, took a deep breath, and then...

"When they flew to Torrias territory, Yuki and Odette, together with the investigation team, said they were headed to the enemy Ajito. By order of my brother, Prince Kyle, I am here to join Yuki."

"His Highness Kyle's orders?

"Let's talk in the carriage."

Iris took my hand.

"First of all, let me tell you more about the King's Fate. I think that will change Yuki's behavior with me in the future."
