We ran into an unexpected intruder in a world tree, and we were looking into their tracks (...).

The time is past 4 p.m. and the dark darkness is gradually sneaking in the world trees.

I floated around with tons of phosphorescent magic (will-o-whisp) to make sure Plum and Hemperoza weren't in danger. There are about twenty blue and white lights. Float low so that it illuminates underfoot.

The knights Rembrandt and Luroni are exploring the "secret way out" where the spider-shaped golem disappeared a little further away.

"Lord Knight, there must be a hole here too."

"Was it covered with moss...!

On the tip of Rembrandt's counterfeit sword, Phosphorescent Magic (Will O Wisp) is stabbed like a skewer dango, and he uses it like a pine light.

It is an unexpected use, albeit a imitation sword.

Looks like the two discovered some holes as they peeked into the ground, but they're just going to identify the location and pull it up today.

Meanwhile, me and Metius and Lentomia were looking into the traces of the golem left behind by a line of proxyan corals.

"Sage Grecas, I knew there was nothing dizzying about it."

Metius sat in my palm looking tired. I don't feel the weight but the palms warm slightly.

"Hmm, they did it..."

The biggest harvest I expected was supposed to be a "spider-type golem" made by the "Sea Dragon Craftsmen's Group", a military company belonging to the harvested marinoserese.

I was heartily happy to get something good, but it was sweet on the boulder.

Apparently, it had advanced self-destructing magic (apoptosis), which began to collapse while I saw it, and ended up turning it into a crap of wood and metal that wouldn't fasten the prototype.

I thought it was odd because they pulled up one that they had tied up with Hemperoza's spreading magic (Shrub Garden), leaving the whole thing behind...

"The material used is not in itself unusual, as it can be in the hands of the enemy. Cheap iron with lots of wood and impurities to take in the South China Sea... not worth it"

I'll explore the magic tracks with MagiWire, but I can't find anything.

What I most wanted to know was the advanced and elaborate control magic of the eight-legged spider-type golem, not the identity or purpose of the suspicious ones.

Because that supple, delicate biological movement is something that even I haven't realized.

Wine Barrel Golem's "Full" and "Blurb" do achieve four-legged or two-legged walking.

This seems difficult, but it only traces the movement by measuring horse and human movement with a magic thread (magiwire), describing it in an autonomous driving technique (acrypt), and fixing it.

By actually walking and fine-tuning the golem, it is becoming more and more self-evolving, but it seems to be another theory.

If I'm going to give you another example, there is a sandy sasori-shaped golem used by the witch Alberina in the desert country of Israel. That was for six-legged desert combat, but it seems to be a mechanism for circulating sand within a sasori-shaped "invisible shaped frame," reshaping and moving it.

These are really fascinating if there is a completely different magic control technique.

"Yikes! I wanted to see the magic ceremony."

"Me too. Lentomia was on Golem's back, wasn't she? Couldn't you even parse some of it?

To my words, Lentomia lifted her hair in her ear and exhaled.

"That's it, the contents were almost empty. Rather than a cockpit, there are just two chairs. I wonder how he was manipulating the golem?

"Didn't the surgeon magically control eight legs in pieces? That would be... difficult"

"Grey can do it, but hey!

A proud Lentomia for ehehehe.

"Fuhha. Well."

Sure, with my autonomous drive formula (acrypt), it's not impossible, but I'm not sure I can move as delicately as this spider can.

"Oh, but... there was something like a glass bottle."

"Glass bottle?"

"Yeah. Enough to hold it in your palm. I was blurry inside when I peeked in. But it's not in the wreckage."

Lentomia breaks a pile of crap with her legs.

"I took it away, I guess"

"Maybe."

- What the hell is your secret?

And so I said, "Hey, Greg!" and Manuferno called me.

"Collection. It's like this black powder...... maybe?

"Oh! Probably. Keep it in my slime collection vial."

I give a small vial from my nose.

"Vial. Are you carrying it?

"That's right. If you had a rare slime, you'd want to take me home, wouldn't you?

"Smile. Right..."

When Manuferno gathered the black powder that had piled on the roots of the tree at his fingertips, he put it in a parallax and a vial.

What I was asking Manuferno for was the collection of black misty substances.

If we find out who our magically disturbed substances are and take countermeasures, we'll be late again the next time we encounter them.

"First, good."

By his side, Pram and Hemperoza were lowering their hips to the roots of the exuberant tree, letting their legs pray in their spare time.

"Hey, not yet."

"I'm hungry."

Looks like it's time for the two of you to go home.

"Yes, I brought some candy balls."

"Ooh? Will you...?

Hemperoza rolled her little red candy balls in the palm of her hand and gave them to the plum.

"There's only two of them, so let me and Plum lick them."

"... I'll give you the plum."

Smile with your scarlet eyes at me. As cute as ever. No, no.

"Then so are the eagles!

He also said he would lose and Hemperoza.

"Thank you, both of you. I'm all right because I'm an adult. You two should eat."

With that said, they looked at each other while holding the candy balls and ended up throwing them into their mouths.

……

"I knew I'd lick it -"

"That's right."

Yikes, laughing pram and hemperosa, but I started playing with the fuzzy and floating phosphorescent magic (Will O Whisp), Pooh and it was like a paper balloon.

"Yes do it!

"Come on!

In the case of a person without magic, touching a mass of light in phosphorescent magic (will-o-whisp) leaves them bare or foggy, but the two seem to differ from normal people just a little bit in that respect.

Hemperoza does the high risen phosphorescent magic (WILL O WISP) with "The Cradle (Shrub) Cane," yeah! and tangle.

and a magical light body trapped in the flowers that were blooming on the tip of the wand. Then he began to shine a pompous pale glow from the inside.

The light eventually envelops the entire wand.

"To!? It's a wand of light, huh?

"Ooh! It's cute -"

Two people laughing fun. But isn't this... the moment when magic "embraces" Hemperoza?

I got up unexpectedly.

"Grecas the Wise, there is now the magic of Hemperoza."

It was too sudden. I have seen a rare moment of "natural magical encounter" that does not involve a ritual contract (...).

Metti noticed the thing, too, and jumped up fluffy as she was surprised.

"Hemperoza! You, now... have taken in the phosphorescent magic (Will O Whisper)? I became a part of myself as a magic I could use without chanting......!

"To?

As Hemperoza tilted her little neck, she swung a glowing wand.

Pop pop......, a small grain of light that I had never seen flooded out.

When the light shined in the air, it eventually disappeared. But I had a feeling something new was going to happen.

"So, this... what kind of magic?

"I don't know about that until I try to grow it."

"Hey!

Hemperoza smiles showing her white teeth.

"I don't know, ever since I got to this place, I'm in good shape."

…… Well, maybe I am. "

"Come on!

The ruler (...) and everything, there's a "birth parent" right in front of me.

I seem to have missed something important. This world tree should be a pleasant and gentle place, not a place to contend, for example.

We got an unexpected harvest, and we're on our way back to the garrison base.
