The Demon King Of The Frontier Life, Reincarnated To Become The Strongest Mage ~The Former Demon King Who Grows Up While Being Loved Wants To Know The Human~

─ ─ A few days later, the Great Conference Room of the "Magic Guild" in the Kingdom of Liestia ─ ─

On that day, an emergency meeting took place in the Magic Guild's large conference room.

Magicians ranging from Class A to Class B. Several quasi-B and C-level magicians were ordered to assist in the meeting.

The old magician Zamel and Prince Cain, who has just returned from the border, are also present.

The agenda was about the Knights of the "Gaul Empire" who had invaded the country and the "Replica Road" they used.

It was about exploring the fifth layer of "Elysion."

"First of all, That black Knight of the Kings (Road) user is not this Cain."

Prince Cain looked around and said.

"Some magicians seem to have misunderstood me, but I was on the southern border when the" King's Horse "appeared. Please also testify to this by your local lord. I was also in King's Landing when the King of the Beasts appeared in Torrius territory. There's no way you can fight with the Black Knight. Don't get me wrong."

"I know! It was my mistake to think that Cain was a user!

Old Zamel held his head.

"You're being mean, Lord Cain! You don't have to steam it down here!?

"I just wanted to share information before we discussed it. Zamel old"

"... don't embarrass me any more"

Old Zamel slipped out of sight at random.

Prince Cain then begins explaining by drawing the parchment at hand.

"I'll report it first. The Empire's Fourth Queen, Nyala-Gaul, and his subordinates are bound by the royal family. The Empress is a prisoner of war in the tower and placed in a dungeon. I want the royal family to know how to treat them and how to negotiate with the Empire."

"That's the King's decision, isn't it? Your Highness."

"Your Majesty and my brother, the First Prince, the Prime Minister and the ministers."

"Okay. The Magic Guild has no objection to that."

Old Zamel answered on behalf of the sorcerers.

"We magicians are as involved in the world of politics as possible. That's what I learned from the runaway and demise of the Sanctuary Church. The guild has no objection to the royal family."

"Zamel, old man is wise."

"Wise!? Yes, young people would be wise. I feel old in this case!

Old Zamel threw up without telling anyone.

"We, the Zammers, could do little against the intruders. On the contrary, the Duke's daughter Odette Sleigh saved her life. If she hadn't worn the Phantom, we would have been killed by the Empire's Replica Road."

"She is a brave girl. I also admit Odette Sleigh."

"I recommend Odette Slay to the Class C Magician. I don't doubt it."

"No. Well, there's still a question."

Prince Cain saw Demetrius, a Class C sorcerer next door.

"The King's Horse is difficult to handle. Even Demetel here couldn't handle the Spirit King Rider properly. And how could Odette Slay have handled it? What is the difference between the two?

"It would be a matter of compatibility. The most powerful ancient object in King's Horse. It's no wonder you chose a user."

"I'm worried about the selection criteria... well, that's fine."

Prince Cain looked to Demetrius.

She moves around among the magicians and distributes parchment.

What was written there was information about the fifth basement level of "Elysion".

"This is a compilation of the information we received from Empress Nyala and her associates. They were going to enter" Elysion "through a hidden passage in King's Landing and head for the fifth basement level."

"It's been more than a hundred years since the 'Sanctuary Church' was destroyed, and I didn't expect to find another hidden passage..."

"It appears to have been installed for emergencies and can only be used once. It will be investigated later ─ ─"

The problem is the fifth basement level, Your Highness.

One of the quasi-B magicians raised his hand.

She's still a young woman. She is the daughter of the Marquis and belongs to the Cain school.

She keeps looking at old Zammel and Demetel in a challenging way.

"According to this, there is a 'system to make monsters huge' on the fifth basement floor. The Empires have rudely invaded our kingdom to gain access to the system."

She took a breath and looked around.

"But if we can really make monsters huge and manipulate them, we can also attack the Empire. Expanding the territory and informing the nations of the Kingdom's authority ─ ─"

"It's too far ahead. Refrain, Quasi-B Magician Ethetta."

Tell him so that Prince Cain can lick it.

Old Zamel saw her.

"It's impossible to start a war on a system you haven't seen yet! And what did I tell you? Magicians should not get involved in politics as much as possible. It is the choice of the royal family to wage a war, and our magicians support and advise it. That's all."

"Old Zammel's right. Eazetta"

"Ha, ha. Your Highness Cain."

The woman called Ezetta answers with a smile.

Then keep your mouth shut and keep staring at Prince Cain.

"Let me get back to you. In order to enter the fifth basement level, it is necessary to deploy the" Magic Barrier "with the" King's Rider "or" Replica Road "in it ─ ─ This is the testimony of Emperor Nylara."

"Testimony of the Empress of the Enemy. Does His Highness believe that?

"That's right... the Empire Empress was not hesitant to answer this question at all, so there might be some kind of trick."

"When I caught her, the princess said: Stop throwing the Knight of the Holy King into the crater."

"That's what the black Knight King used to say. If there's something to hide, the Knight of the Holy King will disappear from the world."

"Are you bluffing?

Old Zamel shrugged her shoulders.

"There can't be anyone who can throw a precious King's Horse into a crater."

"I agree. If there really is someone who can do that... he is a fool who is beyond our imagination, or who doesn't know the value of things."

"Can fools handle the King's Horse?"

"That's right. That's why I'm good. That black Knight King player...."

Prince Cain's body trembled slightly.

For him, the 'sanctuary church' is not a terrible existence. Because it's already in the past.

The magicians of the Empire are also a threat, but they are not terrifying. They are looking at the same place as the sorcerers in the Magic Guild. They are looking for "ancient objects" and "ancient magic" from "Elysion." So we can also predict behavior.

However, the black Knight King users alone cannot predict actions or predict thoughts.

He destroyed the Knight of the Holy King in pieces and took it away.

That's something Cain can't do.

It would be impossible for him to be a user of the King's Horse.

If it had been Cain, he would have tried to get the Knight of the Holy King as intact as possible.

There is no choice but to make some sacrifice for it.

Because the King's Horse is the most powerful "ancient artifact" and a precious legacy of the "ancient magical civilization".

Compared to the benefits of researching and replicating it and helping it function for the kingdom, several sacrifices are small.

However, the user of the black King's Horse did not recognize any value in the Ancient Equipment.

I don't use it to add value to myself.

Just protect people and defeat enemies. That's all.

It's like a parent protecting a child ─ ─

"─ ─ Children? Parents? What a fool...."

"What's going on? Your Highness Cain."

"Nothing. Anyway, we should start exploring the fifth basement immediately."

Prince Cain waved back.

"We have the King's Horse and the Replica Road we need to break through the barrier. Explore the Empire and the Sanctuary before it moves. The Empire's" Replica Road "may be familiar, so I'd like to use something made by the Zammers, but is that possible?

"Of course."

Old Zamel laughed and nodded.

"I already have two for my grandson."

"Let's ask Odette Sleigh for help too. She should be able to handle the Spirit King Ride. Demetel wants that support. It means that the people who dealt with the" King of Spirits "are each other."

"I see. Your Highness."

C-Class Magician Demetrius said.

"As a precaution, may I accompany Yuki-Grossalia to the same party? He is a capable sorcerer. If I'm next door, I think Odette Sleigh will be relieved."

"Okay. Then I'll have Iris with me. It would be easier to handle the" King of Spirits Ride "if Odette Slay were mentally stable. Demetrius gave them support ─ ─"

"Your Highness, could you let me do that?

Suddenly, the magician Ezetta shouted.

"I'm interested in how Odette Slay, the Duke's daughter, can use the Spirit King Ride. Please lie down. Absolutely."

"If you say so, I will allow you to accompany me. However, the supporter is Demetel. If that's okay with you."

"Thank you very much. Your Highness."

The magician Ezetta stood up and thanked the aristocrats as if this were a social place.

"As a nobleman ─ ─ I am very interested. Yuki-Grossalia and Odette Slay entered the Magic Guild and ran all of a sudden to Class C. Especially the Sleigh ladies ─ ─ even the same superior nobleman ─ ─"

"A sorcerer should not be obsessed with his position as a nobleman. Eazetta-Memen"

"It's in front of the building. Zamel old"

"Even in front of the building!

The magician Ezetta nodded and retreated to the old Zamel's drink.

"Regarding the breach of the barrier of the fifth basement level, let's do it as described above. Next, we are going to remove the debris that blocks the passageways and stairs to the barrier, but this gathers people who are good at magic on the ground ─ ─"

Thereafter, the practical conversation continued.

Eventually, the Wise Men's Meeting ended and the Wise Men of the Magic Guild left the meeting room.

"Dear Demetrius, May I speak with you?

After the Wise Men's meeting, the conference room.

The magician Ezetta approached as one of the remaining demethers was clearing the file.

"I have something to tell you, Lord Cain's closest associate."

"What is it? Dear Ethetta,"

"... I couldn't say it in His Highness's presence."

Ezetta puts her finger on her lips, gestures that make her think a little, and then tells her.

"Don't you think the old Zammel era is over?

"What are you saying, Ethetta!?

"Hmm? Because even though the Knights of the Empire invaded the country, the Zammers couldn't do anything, could they? The enemies were defeated by the Unfactioned Odet-Sley and the mysterious Black Knight King. I thought the old Zamers were just there."

"If you say so, why didn't they even fight?

"Ahhh? Does Demetrius blame His Highness Cain?

"That's not what I meant!

Demetel makes his voice unconsciously rough.

But Ezetta had a naughty smile.

"Aren't you mad at me for joking?"

"Is that all you have to say?"

"No, I wanted your help."

Cooperation?

"The Magic Guild must be a rock until a clear enemy appears. We should unite everything in the 'Cain Faction' and confront the Empire with His Majesty's will."

Suddenly, with a serious expression, Ethetta declares.

"We need strength to do this. I think we should take the opportunity of" Exploring the Fifth Basement "in" Elysion "to bring in two talented men, Odet-Slay and Yuki-Grosalia, as His Highness Cain's loyal subordinates. I'd like to ask for your help to do this."

"The two of them?

"You've known Demetrius since they joined the" Magic Guild "orientation. I would like you to give me some information. For His Highness Cain."

"... for His Highness Cain?

Demetrius was lost for a moment.

Her loyalty to Cain is absolute. Demetel is devoted to Cain's talent and intellect.

That's why I was always on his side, supporting him.

It won't shake. But...

"Those two are also my own teachers. We can't share their information without permission."

"Oh, sorry."

Words are backwards, and Eazetta pulls back lightly.

"Thank you very much. I don't ask Demetrius to take care of my children. The expansion of His Highness Cain will take place at the hands of this Eazetta. But, Demetrius. You may not always be one of His Highness's men.

"Is that all you have to say?

Yeah, that's it.

That's how Ethetta got out of the conference room.

As if nothing had happened, Demetel keeps cleaning up.

It's just...

"Speaking of which, Your Highness and Yuki-Grossalia will be back soon....."

Maybe we should meet before we begin exploring the "Fifth Basement Hierarchy."

Demetrius thought of such a thing.
