79 Episode 79: Former Demon King, Gets Explained for Exploring the Labyrinth (1/2)

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.”
