141 Lesson 141: Exploring the Fifth Hierarchy of "Ruins of Ancient Magic Civilization" (Start of Conquest (2)) (1/2)

”I'm going first. Odette, come back later.”

Got it!!

I ran down the aisle behind Odette's voice.

The [Rider of Spirits] was moving slowly.I could hurry, but I had better not use my magic power here.

I'll talk to Prince Cain first.

Tell Old Zamel that you've asked for him, and he'll listen to you.

”Stay on my back, bats!””2.5 times” ”Boost” ”

It's Shoko!!

[Physical Enhancement] Increases the movement speed by 2.5 times.

I still can't see Prince Cain.

You're still close to the barrier.

Much time has passed since Flora failed.

It's time for the [Cain Faction] to start breaking through the barrier, but it's not strange ─ ─

”─ ─ I was there.”

I see it.

A translucent wall stretching to the ceiling that stands as a passageway to the fifth layer.

That was the [Magic Barrier].

”Replica Road” sat in front of him.

I put my back on the wall of the aisle, as if I had just been bounced off a barrier.

A [Cain] sorcerer surrounded it.

The [Replica Lord] was trying to stop Prince Cain.

”─ ─ Please stop. Your Highness Cain!”

”─ ─ I can't do this anymore!”You should leave it to others!! ”

”─ ─ If anything happens to you, the [Cain faction]... no, we can't face the royal family!!”

”... would you please step back?”

, and the helmet (helmet) of ”Replica Road” opened.

Prince Cain's face turned pale.

It is sweaty and my hair is sticking to my skin.

I guess I was shaking because I was draining too much of my magic.

It was a typical out-of-magic symptom.”You've been hit by the [Magic Barrier].”

Still, Prince Cain was trying to get up.

”This is my responsibility.”

Prince Cain said.

”The 'Cain faction' made a mistake.It caused a lot of trouble for both the ”Magic Guild” and the ”Zamelite”.This responsibility must be taken by Cain-Restia ─ ─ ”

Your Highness Cain!

When I screamed, I raised my voice and [Replica Road] looked at me.

I slipped at his feet in a 2.5-fold [physical enhancement] state.

I tell you in an aristocratic tone.

”Class C magician Yuki = Grossaria has a message from old Zamel.””The breakthrough of the barrier is carried out by” Spirit King Knight ”and Odette = Slei, and his assistant Yuki = Grossaria.Please stand down, Lord Cain. ”─ ─ That's all.”

”” ”Oh...” ”

The magicians sighed.

And when they saw Prince Cain with their furtive eyes,

”It looks like the [Rider of the Spirit King] is ready.” Your Highness Cain! ”

”Odette-Srei is a factionless person.Even if she breaks through the barrier, it won't be the fruit of Zamelite! ”

”It's an important body.” Please, come back. ”

I mumbled those words.

But ─ ─

”You stay back, too.” ”Yuuki-Grossaria”

Prince Cain waved his arm at the Replica Lord.

It's as if you're trying to keep your men away.

”It has nothing to do with factionalism.”I have to live up to my responsibilities. ”

”Please wait. Your Highness Cain's job is to lead this operation.”

”That's right.”

Prince Cain nodded to my question.

”But... apart from that, I have to take responsibility for what my men have done.”You may not know Yuuki = Grossaria... but the people you found were trespassing on this [Elucion].As it turns out, Ezetta was guiding us through it.My subordinate...... is also a quasi-B class magician...... ”

Your Highness is not to blame!

”That's what Isetta = Memento and her men did on their own.”

”If you used the hidden passage to break in, what can you do without noticing...?”

My subordinate magicians shouted.

“No, my responsibility was not to realize they were plotting.”

Then Prince Cain looked straight at me.

”I have a favor to ask of Yuuki-Grossaria.I want you to tell Old Zamel the following words. ”

”... please...”

“Cain-Restia is willing to pay for his subordinates' sins because of his own achievements.I didn't mind passing the real power of the future [Magic Guild] to the Zamelites.I just want you to forgive me ─ ─ that's all. ”

It was a serious expression.

When I saw his face, I knew somehow what Prince Cain was thinking.

I don't think he knew anything about the Mémère conspiracy.

That's why I couldn't stop Ezetta-Meme, or put in place a plan of action.

However, their efforts to break through the barrier to the fifth layer were hindered.

I had to split up to capture the Mémère, and my heartfelt teacher, Demetrell, interviewed the Ezettas.

This time, the ”Barrier Breakthrough” was a plan for the entire ”Magic Guild”.

Both the royal family and the sorcerers looked forward to the results.

Of course.

This search may reveal the mystery of the fifth underground layer.Even the study of ancient sorcery may progress.Perhaps even the important secret of [Ancient Magic Civilization].

A human from the [Cain sect] was injured in the event.

That's why Prince Cain is trying to break through the barrier on his own.

... I'm serious.

I don't hate it. Serious people like this.

Even in ”Feira Village” 200 years ago, when there were such people, my work as a ”guardian god” was also easy.It brings everyone together and makes them feel responsible in their work.

But... he's carrying too many things.

Prince Cain couldn't understand the [Mention] conspiracy.

I wasn't so sure until today.

”... I don't think it is the responsibility of His Highness Cain to be a quasi-B class magician, Isetta = Meme.”

I told you.

“I didn't even know my sister, Colette, was trespassing on Elucion.I just found out. ”

I don't know anything about the Mémère conspiracy.

Right now, I still have no choice but to answer this question.

”However, it will be difficult for His Highness to take responsibility for all the actions of the sorcerers belonging to the guild.”Your Highness, the Second Prince, is noble in his sense of responsibility.However, considering your position, shouldn't you take care of your body...? ”

”The second prince... I wanted to be a magician.”

Prince Cain gave a cynical smile.

“That way, Ezetta wouldn't have had any strange expectations of me.I should have been able to devote myself to studying ”Ancient Sorcery” and ”Ancient Artifacts”. ”

Um...... Your Highness Cain

I don't know, Iris' Guardian Knight.

You're really only interested in magic, aren't you?

”That's what I'm telling everyone... but you can't believe it.”

Probably.

This man is brilliant. I had a talent for sorcery comparable to Old Zamel.

Moreover, it is natural to expect to be the second prince of the royal family.

”But... this is the result.”I became the banner of the Cain school, which led to the rampage of the Isetas.If I hadn't been a prince, I wouldn't have done this. ”

“Are you going to take responsibility for that?”

”Yes, I break through the barrier and get credit.I'm going to ask old Zamel and the Emperor if I can lighten the guilt of the Isetas with that.After all, it was me who led them to the rampage. ”

Slowly, [Replica Road] rises up.

A figure similar to the armor of a full plate moves out.

The sorcerers clung to their arms and legs.

”It's impossible!” ”It's ridiculous!” I'm trying to stop Prince Cain while I'm shouting.

I know how you feel.

Prince Cain is at his limit.Without being able to lift both legs of [Replica Road], it was dragging.

Probably going to hit the barrier like this.

On the aisle, I saw the direction leading to the fourth level.

I listened.

I can't use bats. Prince Cain was noticed.

... yes.

We need to stop Prince Cain for a little longer.

”Your Highness Cain.”

I told you.

“I have something to tell you.Is it okay to be rude? ”

”...... I've already made a big mistake”

Prince Cain gave a cynical smile.

”How can I be so rude to you?”

”Well then, I'll tell you...”

I look straight at Prince Cain and tell him.

Do you have to do something else than break through the barrier?

Prince Cain's ”Replica Road” and the movement of the sorcerers stopped.
