Necropolis, the capital of death.

Arte and Cleon once planned the attack, and we took part in the operation.

And Cleon got the demon king who sleeps deep in it, and Arte lost it all.

The scepter that sleeps in Necropolis, the capital of death, is needed to heal the Artes.

"But didn't we all get to attack Necropolis?

"The deepest part has treaded. However, there are divides and hidden doors along the way, and not all of them could have been dominated."

"Yeah. Is that where you have that wand, too?

"Yes, there is a place called 'The Valley of the Shadows of Death' at the end of the fourth tier branch. I have a wand there..."

"You mean dangerous, right?

"Exactly. Moreover, because of its particular structure, only two people enter the valley of the shadow of death at a time."

With that said, Filia sparkled her eyes.

"I mean, you're alone with Solon!

"Uh, well, it will, but for that matter, the danger is even higher..."

Though it is a shallow place called the Fourth Layer, we do not know what kind of danger there would be if it were an unattached zone in Necropolis.

I wish I could at least use the help of the Virgin of Sophia, but where I can't do that is troubling.

"You can't ask Master Philia to commit such a danger"

"But you can't help Mr. Arte or Mr. Flora if you don't, can you?

"Exactly, but isn't there any reason for Master Philia to help those two up to the point of crossing a dangerous bridge? Sometimes Arte was after Philia's life..."

"But if Solon wants to help, I'll help too. I am the disciple of Solon."

That's what Filia said, smiling uncontrollably.

Inside, Philia may also have something to think about Arte.

But I promised Flora I'd help Arte, and Philia's trying to help me with that.

"Besides, what I've become stronger too. They taught me intermediate magic, and I could use Lucy's amazing magic from her guide book, The King's Flame."

Well, philia does become quite a force of war now.

If I fight with the avant-garde, Philia, I can defeat some strong enemies as well.

"Well, we'll think about going to Necropolis again. In the meantime, it's today's class."

"Yeah. You were going to teach me a lot so I could go explore the ruins, right?

"Right. The first step is how to use the lights in the ruins. Pine lights, lamps, that sort of thing."

"The ruins in the basement are all over the place, but shouldn't they be magically bright?

"Regardless of the number of people like the Necropolis attack the other day, basically because the Adventurer Party is understaffed. If you want to use magic, you want to use it other than lighting."

"I see."

"So I want you to learn how to use tools for that kind of lighting. Lamps have unexpected uses."

"An unexpected use?

"What do you think?

When I smiled, Philia snapped her neck.

"About what?

"It's going to be a tool of attack. Throwing in lamp oil is quite effective for undead like mummies. Faster and surer than flaming magic. It's a way of attacking without magic."

"Oh well. Magic isn't the only way to start a fire."

"Now let's do the ignition on this lamp."

I put a brass lamp in front of Philia.

And I started teaching Philia how to use it, and Philia was eager to listen.

You might have to go to war, Sophia.

Dr. Lucy, who has exiled to a neighbouring country.

Sick arte and flora.

And the demon king that Cleon is in his hands.

Though the problem is piles.

I'm Philia's tutor.

Only now would it be permissible to concentrate on teaching Philia.

Philia looked up at me with blue eyes and smiled softly.
