In the end, I decided to take the request of the Exploration of Elusion.

Simply because I was interested.

I want to take this opportunity to know what ancient sorcery civilizations did and what sorcery they left behind.

If you're lucky, you might be able to find some kind of magic that will immortalize humans.

I believe that ancient sorcery civilizations have created a variety of magic aids to strengthen humans.

Evidence of this is that they were making 'King's Ride'.

"King's Ride (Road)" has its own special features.

Sucking people's magic, rambling demons, flying through the sky.

They all give human beings more ability than human beings.

That's how Ancient Sorcery Civilizations reinforced humans to make them harder to die - - blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, "I didn't want to die anyway."

This is a hypothesis I'm not going to announce anywhere.

Prince Cain seemed surprised that I had been asked.

Again, "If you don't like it, you can say no," as much as they said.

To be honest, I'm not interested in what the 'Cainese' are up to.

I just want to get 'Ancient Sorcery' and 'Ancient Instruments' and raise my title and pick up Iris.

And I have nothing to say if I can find the technology to immortalize Iris and Martha.

Finally, it would be best if we could find artifacts that could make life easier or magic that could be fun to research.

That's why I told Prince Cain once again to take on the 'Exploration of Elusion'.

Then when I was home resting, the use came from The Magic Guild.

He was a Class C sorcerer in charge of the Guardian Knight Selection Exam, DeMetel.

"At the request of His Royal Highness Cain, I have come to explain" Exploring Elusion ".

That's what Mr DeMetel said.

I put her through the living room.

"Have some tea."

Martha placed a teacup in front of Mr. DeMetel on the chair.

DeMetel, a C-class magician, rocked her green hair and lowered her head gently.

A little late, my share of the teacup was put in front of me.

It was Remy who put me down. Keep your eyes shining for some reason, and you're staring at me.

"Um. Oshi-jun."

"What's up, Remy"

"It's tea. Martha drowned on the right and Remy drowned on the left."

"I see...... yeah. It feels a little closer to Martha's taste. Good luck with that. Remy."

"Eh heh."

Lemmy narrowed her eyes happily as she covered her hair.

Martha is laughing and watching Remy too.

Because they were dating for chore practice while I was gone.

"... it's a strangely calming home"

After a sip of tea, Mr. DeMetel sighed, Phew.

"I'm the daughter of the Viscount, but I've never seen a maid make such fun of herself."

"The Baron Grossaria family is a local nobleman. It's formal even when it comes to obedience."

"Doesn't your home soon become a Viscount?

"That's my parents' problem. It's none of my business."

"... free and flattering. So..."

Dr. DeMetel placed a bunch of parchment on the table.

At the same time, I nod to Martha and Remy, who distract me and take my seat off.

There's a sound going up the stairs. Looks like he's back in his room.

"Start explaining the exploration of 'Elusion'"

Confirming that, Mr. DeMetel started talking.

"Yuki-Grossalia. How much do you know about that giant dungeon?

"Now it's only until the fourth tier that exploration is allowed, that there's a site on the third tier where the people from the 'Sanctuary Church' have stood, and that you can be a C-Class sorcerer when you clear to the third tier."

This area was described in the Knight Selection Exam and Orientation.

And there's also a mix of information Iris and Odette told me.

"Describe each hierarchy. The first tier is the top tier area. There are weak demons and undead. The second tier is a labyrinth."

"There's a demon more powerful than the first tier, right?

"Oh. If we had the power to break through the first hierarchy intact, we could manage to clear it. The problem is the third tier. This is an area where the Church of the Sanctuary stood until the end of the Eight Kings War."

Is it the last land of the "Church of the Sanctuary"?

No, if the remnants fled north, I guess they didn't end up here.

But I'm pretty sure a lot of humans have come to an end here.

I saw the parchment on the table.

After the third tier, it seems, it's a completely different area than before.

There are meadows like the ground, and there are ups and downs on the ground. It runs down to the river.

That was on parchment.

I knew the space was distorted, but what kind of place is it? "Erución" is.

"A powerful Necromancer also appears in the third hierarchy. Some seem to maintain parts of their bodies during their lifetime. The demons are also becoming quite powerful. Me too... so much so that I've been dying."

"And Dr. DeMetel?

"I managed to break through and become a Class C magician."

Mr. DeMetel laughed bitterly.

Looks like a pretty dangerous place to talk to.

It would be easier if I could take the 'King's Ride'...... can't that be it?

"So, as for the fourth tier..."

"That parchment, it's almost blank."

Below the title 'Elusion fourth hierarchy' there are just a few lines of letters.

Nothing else is drawn.

"Currently... no one has broken through the fourth tier."

"So below the fourth tier, there are still 'ancient objects' and 'ancient magic'?"

"Your Highness Cain seems to think so."

"May I ask you one thing?

"Oh. I don't mind."

"How could the people at" Sanctuary Church "not have escaped to the fourth tier?

It's a simple question.

The "Church of the Sanctuary" was hunted down to the third tier and wiped out.

But if it was enough to stand and wipe it all out, I guess I should have run to the fourth tier.

That way, I think I had a chance to escape.

"I don't know"

Dr. DeMetel put on an arm and nodded.

"The record of the battle at the time was scattered. However, the attackers would also have blocked the entrance to the fourth tier. Besides, the fourth tier is still untouched. Even if they were running downstairs, they wouldn't find the body or the artifact."

"Is it possible that he was running away?"

"... right. But he would be dead anyway. It was 200 years ago."

"... right? Because no one will live for a hundred or 200 years."

Me and Dr. DeMetel looked at each other and laughed.

"The search begins in twenty days. In the meantime, participants will be ready."

"Preparation period, is it"

"Specifically, you're gathering members of an exploratory party. You, the leader, have decided to become an underground explorer."

"His Royal Highness Iris and Mr. Odette wish to join us."

"Odette-Sray won't be a problem"

I guess.

Otherwise, there's no way Odette will be called on that spot.

As a matter of fact, I think I was set with Odette and asked to explore 'Elusion'.

Odette has a calm judgment.

Even in the battle against the Beast King (Lord = of =) Ride (Beast), with his judgment, he commanded and fought the Bat Corps.

If she follows me, it should be easier to explore.

"However, in order for His Highness Iris to be accompanied, you will need royal permission..."

"Your Highness will apply for it."

Half of the time, I don't know if the application will go through.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd love for Iris to come.

... because I don't know what to do when I leave you alone. Alice (...) is.

However, its weird behavior may have unexpected effects in dungeon exploration.

I appreciate his talent. Since previous life, all the time.

"I suggest His Highness Iris and Odette-Sray take the other avant-gardes who will be luggage carriers (porters) and shields, if that's all right.

Members should find it in the King's Capital's 'Adventurer's Guild'. "Magic Guild" and "Adventurer Guild" form a partnership. Speaking of names, they should introduce you to quality adventurers. Keep your voice on this one. "

"Thank you. I'll try it tomorrow."

When I said it, Mr. DeMetel nodded satisfactorily.

He's a bluff, but he's a kind man.

"Finally, prior to this exploration, I am supposed to teach you a new 'ancient magic', but any hope?

"Ancient Magic," is it? "

"You have just become a Class C mage and the sun is shallow and you have only received orientation as a trainee. The only" ancient magic "you can use is what your brother taught you, right?

"Brother Zeros?

"That's the kind of report I'm getting."

"Yes, I was."

I slapped my hand.

"Definitely. When I was in my hometown, Brother Zeros gave me the" ancient magic "trick."

I forgot.

I can activate Ancient Sorcery just by looking at it.

To hide that strange trait, Brother Zeros decided to teach Yuki "ancient magic". Thank you, brother.

"There was also talk of scouting Zeros-Grossalia as a candidate for instructor with that much educational talent... he seems to have rejected me in person"

"Did you do that?"

"Finally, I told Baron Grossaria about the promotion to the Viscount House, and he passed out."

"Father... that's surprisingly delicate."

Sorry. Father, brother.

Because I will return this debt by making the Baron Glossaria family more than the Count's.

"Apart from that, you have the right to teach 'Ancient Sorcery' in the 'Sorcery Alliance'. The instructor is in charge of himself. Is there any hope?

"Now tell me one 'ancient magic' from the ice system"

I said.

Originally, I used the usual magic of the ice system all the time.

I've been using the flame system since I was able to copy "Ancient Magic," but the ice system suits me more sexually.

It's not bad to remember on this occasion.

"You're welcome. Anything else?

"How do you weaken the output of 'Ancient Magic'"

"─ Huh?

Mr. DeMetel's eyes get round.

"You want me to interfere with someone else's 'ancient magic'? No one should have succeeded..."

"No, it's not someone else's, it's my 'ancient magic'"

Corrected (because).

Although Mr. DeMetel didn't seem to understand very well,

"... does that mean you want to adjust the output of 'Ancient Magic'? A lot of people try to make it stronger... but no one wants to make it weaker, so I'm mistaken."

"Ancient magic specializes in combat."

"So this is how the Sorcery Alliance manages it."

"Then you can have research that weakens witchcraft, right? Because it's easier to manage."

"Sure, it is..."

"Best wishes. Doctor."

I bowed my head to Dr. DeMetel (...).

She seemed a little stuck, but she nodded.

"I see your hope. Tomorrow, then, come this way."

So Dr. DeMetel offered me a little parchment.

It had a map of the lab within the 'Magic Guild' and the name of the room.

"This is my lab. Some rooms are for experimentation, so you can actually use 'ancient magic'"

"Okay. Thank you."

"Then..."

Dr. DeMetel said a little after he had a mouthful...

"I want you to be careful when you walk in front of the lab."

Attention, sir?

"A lot of the labs are run by 'Zamelite' magicians. I don't know if you're trying to put in an exploration or if it has any other purpose..."

"Got it. I'll be careful."

"Then tomorrow, don't be late for time"

That's what I said, and Dr. DeMetel left.

After a while, Martha and Remy, who were in their own room, come.

"Yuki. What's happening?

"In the meantime, we're going to be hiring someone with luggage in relation to the 'Sorcery Guild'"

"Now take a look at this one"

Martha suddenly wrapped her sleeve around the maid's clothes and bent her arm.

It's not tanned. It's bright white and thin, but...

"What are you doing? Martha."

"Martha is surprisingly powerful, isn't she?

"I'm not taking you to the dungeon."

"So in the meantime, who will help Yuki get dressed?

"I'll handle it myself. Even when you were on Torrias territory, you were decent, weren't you?

"There was a button on my jacket."

"I was fighting, so I can't help it"

"If Yuki gets hurt because of that, I'll be in trouble..."

Martha seems seriously worried.

So you can't take Martha to the dungeon. It's too dangerous.

"Ask the porter to carry more clothes, it's okay."

Martha was surprisingly powerful.

That's the end of the story.

"Remy was surprised."

"Remy must escort Martha."

So I'm going to explore the giant dungeon, Elusion.

We were supposed to gather party members to prepare underneath and study "Ancient Magic".
