The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

"Ooh, ooh, ooh."

The roar of a man known as General Golden Lion excites the hearts of soldiers who are about to rub off. No matter how many times he is defeated, Leonhardt stands up.

One queen fled the demise of the Kingdom of Endalgia 200 years ago. The queen said she had a princess in her body. At the time, the Schusenwald Border uncle lent his soldiers to the Agwinas lead alchemist who helped the queen and committed himself to rebuilding the labyrinth city.

The Princess, born of the Queen, entered the Schusenwald family and gave the Schusenwald family the legitimate right to rule the labyrinth city. The next head of the Schusenwald family to draw its blood, Leonhardt, is rightfully qualified to be king of the Labyrinth City.

It's not like there's a conspiracy against the Empire. The Empire acknowledges to some extent the control and autonomy of the territory by the descendants of the diaspora in the territory. The emperor has told the head of the Schusenwald family in history.

"Take your land back into its hand, O Schusenwald.

Yes. The labyrinth city is the territory of the Schusenwald family. It is not a land of demons.

"Beat down the labyrinth and put the land in our hands again.

The Schusenwald family's grief binds Leonhardt like a curse.

Fight, fight, fight, die.

Those who are lucky enough to survive will connect their blood and inherit their aspirations.

How many compatriots have died under the banner of Leonhardt, the source of the Schusenwald family's grief?

No matter how hurt and smashed you are, there's no way you can stop. I can't go down and lie down.

Leonhardt's life has not been crushed yet.

Leonhardt is cut to the King of Cursed Snakes (King Basilisk). Brothers following behind.

Their main force cuts and leaves the gap, the bow, and the magic covers them. The soldiers, who were flown and seriously ill, soon healed and returned to the front.

How long have you been fighting this battle?

The King of the Cursed Snake, who has petrified and swallowed many of his compatriots, finally fell upon the earth after raising his dejected voice as if to curse all living beings.

"WOOOOOOOOO!!!

Leonhardt pokes up his sword-held fist. Followed by soldiers.

The crusade of the King of the Cursed Snake, which has been defeated many times, has now come to pass here.

Jack Nielenberg's therapist exhales in relief as he watches Leonhardt give him an extremely emotional and unspoken victory. I can't wipe away the feeling that I won so hard. Both he and his therapeutic unit face are on the verge of depletion of their magic. That would be the same for everyone. If you think about all the time that magic and supplies have bottomed out and still didn't win, it is definitely a worthwhile victory. Does the fact that the potion is lubricated affect the effectiveness so much?

"Report the number of copies of the potion used. Just the total number of advanced.

"Yes. 378 bottles.

That's more than ten times the number of regular expeditions. Moreover, holy water falling within intermediate ranks is prepared in barrels. It's 800 potion bottle conversions. I did order you not to spare me, and I am letting all the selected troops make a stronger pledge than usual not to divulge any information during the expedition.

(Even so, it's something that went into a much more thoughtful operation.... No, there was no other way.

Jack Nielenberg thinks. He said it was as if a stone had been thrown from heaven on the verge of the Acer board's helmet being anointed.

Jack Nielenberg felt that the surface of the plate was changing, as if the milestone were now.

"Congratulations, brother.

Weishardt celebrates his full-blown brother. Even Weisshalt is on the verge of depleting his magic, and standing is a tough situation.

"You fought well, Weiss. Everyone too. This fight is huge. So, what's the staircase to the next tier?

"Yes. Confirmed. We're sending the scouts to investigate now. You'll know the situation soon. But it looks like you're tired of the big layer. Please return to base once.

"Don't worry, Weiss. We've come this far, can we go back without just asking for the first report?

Breaking through the Labyrinth 53 hierarchy paved the way to the 54 hierarchy. No one knows how many floors this labyrinth will last. Maybe 54 tiers is the deepest part of this labyrinth.

At the deepest end of the spectrum, he said, is the Lord of the Labyrinth. It is said that the Lord of the Labyrinth is a completely different thing from other hierarchical lords. Not the figure, but the presence. It is said that if there has been a labyrinth crusade, it can be seen at a glance that it is the Lord of the labyrinth.

So maybe the scouts will come back with news of the deepest arrival.

That would be what everyone here thought. So Leonhardt was waiting for the return of the scouts in the safety zone of the hierarchical border, sitting on the ground without being able to stand in a blur.

The news he waited for was brought to him as quickly as he could have thought.

To the bewildering look of scouts, Leonhardt understands the situation. It wasn't the deepest part.

The resulting report, however, further betrayed his thoughts.

"I would like to report to you. The 54th hierarchy was……, submerged.

The 54th hierarchy is an endlessly spreading sea hierarchy, the scourge reported.

Further barriers awaited Leonhardt's bloodshed and death.

Jack Nielenberg returned home after noon, the day after the King of the Cursed Snake crusade.

The Expeditionary Force moved from a transfer team set up on 50 floors to a transfer team in a two-story hidden room before returning to the Labyrinth Crusader stronghold through an underground passage.

The transfer formation is an extremely expensive magic prop, allowing for instantaneous movement between coordinates with the same latitude and longitude. In other words, you can only move in the height direction. Moreover, there is a constraint that the pairing magic formations must be in magical contact.

Since the labyrinth is composed by its magic in the area controlled by the Lord of the Labyrinth, it is possible to set up a transfer formation, but in the labyrinth where the Lord of the Labyrinth has fallen, the transfer formation ceases to function. Finally, it should be called an artificial bypass road using the magic of a living labyrinth.

The transfer formation has been installed on every 10 levels since the 20th tier. The transfer formation to the 20,30,40 tier is installed on the first floor of the labyrinth and is open to the public, so it is necessary to prepare the magic or demonic stone required for activation, but it can be used by anyone.

The fact that this labyrinth is a demon cave of more than 50 tiers is kept secret by none other than those involved. So the pair of transfer formations set up on the 50 tiers are set up in a two-tier hidden room, not known to the public. The two tiers are a serious cave hierarchy, with only about a slime of demons and the vegetation that said moss and herbs have been eaten by slime, so there are no resources to collect. The corner is topically secured as a labyrinth garrison for the Labyrinth Crusaders.

In fact, there is a transfer formation to 50 levels in the section secured as a garrison, further behind which it leads to a large underground water supply. Large quantities of slime reproduce in the underground water supply and are not normally available as passages. The Labyrinth Crusaders spent years paving the water supply connecting the two levels of the Labyrinth to the Labyrinth Crusader's base with Daisies fibres that absorb magic, blocking slime and servicing it as a direct route to the Labyrinth.

The Labyrinth Crusaders parade bravely in the city and march heavily into the Labyrinth only during regular expeditions, which in fact take place far more often than citizens see.

Neither Leonhardt's injuries nor the crusaders' great defeat were known to the citizens because they were transported on this path, even when Leonhardt was under the curse of petrification.

Leonhardt's footsteps were heavy, although it was a triumphant return that defeated the King of the Cursed Snake (King Basilisk) and cleared the snowflake.

The spiral staircase leading to the 54th level was submerged in sea water along the way, he said. From there, you can see the ocean and the sky everywhere. Horizontal line with 360 degrees. Only at the top of the hierarchy staircase, he said, the hole to the 53 hierarchy seemed open.

There is not even confirmation of land or anything in the blue sea and blue sky world. Just one point, something like a pillar is confirmed in the distance.

By now, the specialized scouts will be hitting the search for hierarchies around their pillars.

All the troops that have won the King of the Cursed Snake crusade are full of creation. The therapeutic unit is out of magic, so we can't even get enough treatment in the labyrinth. We need to get back to base and get enough treatment and rest. Leonhardt did not put his own dismay on his face, but wandered the soldiers and offered victory to his late brethren. Staring at Leonhardt's back, the soldier walked forward again.

Jack Nielenberg returned to the base to treat the soldiers, and by the time he arrived home gradually, the date had changed so much that the time was past noon.

"Welcome home, Dad.

"Shelly, I'm home.

Even though it's noon, my beloved daughter Shelly's room is dim with her curtains drawn and the lights turned off. Jack Nielenberg softly beckons his bandaged head when he hugs his beloved daughter.

Shelly's face is still bandaged.

The wound received by the lysate of the giant slime has not healed.

Wounds are healed by healing magic.

Ugly, with a melting scar.

Can I please say that I was fortunate to be safe with my eyes? Shelley's face, which was so adorable, had been melted by a solution of giant slime hanging from her left half on her side head. The eyelids are stuck in a melted state and connected in a half-closed state. The skin regenerated by healing magic flourishes in red and black, and the root of the lateral head only grows sparsely due to a loss of function.

The white skin on the right half that was safe, a neat face, and glossy hair that colours the face blackly add an extra touch to the ugliness of the sloppy left half. That's why I'm wearing a bandage. It's better to wear a bandage, because she's so beautiful.

Three weeks from that day. Shelly hasn't stepped out of the house. This is how I spend all my days and nights in a room where I whispered the light with curtains.

"Dad, have you had lunch yet?

"Speaking of which, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

"Good. I made tomato stew with beans and oak.

Makes you laugh as usual, Shelly.

The housekeeper bought such a large chunk of oak meat that he and I surround the table, telling him that he had scolded himself.

What sin did she have? Jack Nielenberg pushes and kills feelings like biting the sand and smiles at his beloved daughter Shelly.

I did say don't go through the slam. But that's to the extent of 'don't let bad bugs come along', and there's no inherent danger, such as walking down the boulevard near the labyrinth during the day. How can I be blamed for Shelley passing a shortcut through which children from all over the city pass?

Even though he wanted to tear apart the fool (Kindell) who brought the giant slime into the city, he was melted and devoured without leaving any bones in the giant slime. Terutel, the city defense force who indirectly made the case, said he bowed his head deeply and accepted the disposition without opening any offer, neither the lapse in managing supplies that allowed Kindell to rampage, nor the merit of pulling the giant slime off the boulevard with him.

Jack Nielenberg's anger loses his place and his heart is filled with grief.

Only one bottle, with advanced potion, would heal Shelley's wounds.

If we go to Empire City, we can cure Sherry. That was the most certain and not immediately fulfilling issue. Jack Nielenberg has no family. Ever since I lost my wife, I've lived alone with Shelly. Shelley is only twelve years old, even if she's solid. Even if I could accompany the Yagoo merchants, I wouldn't be traveling alone on a harsh journey to Imperial City. Even healing Shelley in the Imperial Capital would be a must for Jack, my father. Jack Nielenberg, however, has the task of crusading the Labyrinth. He's the head of the healing unit, one of the few people who knows a clue about the potion. I don't think it would be easy for me to ask for a vacation or discharge.

I wonder how long she will spend in this bleak house until Jack Nielenberg can take Shelley to the Empire or until Shelley can go to the Empire by herself.

How much will we lose this time young and full of hope?

Jack Nielenberg couldn't do anything like break it off because it's going to heal one day.

378 copies.

This is the number of advanced potions used in the King of the Cursed Snake Crusade.

All of this belongs to the Labyrinth Crusaders. Private use or theft of military materiel potions is a felony.

No matter how many copies Jack Nielenberg possesses of that usage authority, it is unacceptable to use even one for his beloved daughter, no matter how many copies he uses for his soldiers.

"Dad, what's wrong? Scary face."

Shelley stares at Jack Nielenberg that you can think of.

"I'm just a little tired. It's nothing.

Answering that, Jack Nielenberg drank up the remaining stew.
