The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

Byakuya Waiting for Aldis to return, the Teds and the Mysterious Stars depart Thria.

"What even a carriage is prepared ..."

Whether he was impressed or outrageous, Aldis muttered in either tone.

Certainly, rescue is always a matter of time. This is especially true if the search is in the forest of Caucasus. Leaving Trier in the morning, the feet of the Ardis arrive at the entrance to the forest before dusk.

But then they will spend the night outside the forest for safety and the search will start the next day. That meant that the chances of low survival were even lower, so he had to ride a carriage arranged by the school to the entrance to the forest.

Carriage is by no means cheap. Just borrowing is not the amount that ordinary people and mercenaries can easily reach. Being able to give out that money gives the client a real feeling. As Norris said, there may be noble children among the students.

"In any case, it's good to go into the forest today, and it's good to sleep on the road."

It's just a fast carriage compared to walking. Trot and the carriage on which the Aldiss were riding were running down the highway. Short walks and long walks put a considerable burden on horses. He could crush the horse's legs if he did something wrong, but he was rushing with that in mind.

"Hey. Don't sleep yet, Aldis. There's always a meeting in advance."

Orphelia cuts a nail into Aldis, who is about to lie down.

"Because I got this far, somehow I could help the students and do it ..."

Ted clouded the end of the word.

Thanks to the hurry of the carriage, it is likely to arrive in the forest after noon. At least half a day before you can reach it on foot, you'll be searching. This difference is large.

But on the other hand, the forest to be searched is large. I can guess at what point the students entered the forest, but I couldn't seem to find it in two or three days if I searched the large forest without incident.

"Okay, how do you find it?"

Ted cut out in a swaying chariot.

"Sure, the students are just partying together?"

"Yeah, there are only five senior students."

"Surely half of the public is on track ... I don't know my skills, so don't go into the forest."

"That's right, Ted. All five of them seem to be excellent students who have escaped from both their heads. Both of them are young, and their nose couldn't be helped."

"Hmmm. I guess how good it is, I guess it's a chick. It's a bad chick, a normal chick, and a little chick in the middle.

"Well, that's right."

Advocacy I don't think I'm really going to help the students. Norris laughed and agreed with Caracalla. It's the exact opposite of Ted, who is cursing somehow, but worried about the students.

"Orphelia, can't you find it with your magic?"

"It's easy to say. With such useful magic, nobody has a hard time. Hey, Aldis."

"... If the students are still alive, you may be able to find it."

Orphelia squeezes her voice, squeezing her cheeks to Aldis's response.

"... I'm not surprised anymore. Could you tell me how to find it?"

"The creatures in this forest do not form a flock, except for small guys. At most, it's about time. If you've explored the surrounding magic and found that five humans have settled, it's a mercenary party or The potential of the students is high, of course, assuming that all the students are alive. "

However, there is another problem. To perform magical exploration, it is necessary to spread a thin film of magical power over the exploration area.

Although it is a change that is not noticeable by ordinary humans, beasts and demons that are sensitive to magic may sniff out abnormalities. In some cases, it may be possible to draw nearby beasts and demons.

(But at that time, what should we do to return? No one is strong in this forest anyway.)

Aldis explained the possibility, but surprisingly Ted did not care much.

"It's better to be able to explore a large area at once, even if there's a little risk, rather than hunting around in a dark cloud without clues.

"Well, I just need to go back."

Orphea gives his opinion and Ted takes it.

"By the way, Aldis. How large is the area that can be explored at once?"

Norris asks for confirmation only.

"I haven't measured it, but I think it's probably a radius of about 500 meters."

"Oh, yes. I feel like I'm finally seeing why you're not surprised."

Ted said with a dry laugh.

"Oh, then, as soon as I arrive in the forest, I ask Aldis to do a magical exploration. The question is where to start."

No matter how much Aldis can explore a radius of 500 meters, this is only a fraction of the size of the forest. If you don't set a certain star, you are unlikely to find it.

"Do you know the point that invaded the forest?"

"It's not confirmed information."

Norris provides the information that Norris has purchased in Tria when asking Aldis.

"The students seemed to be collecting information about the forest in Tria. Some mercenaries seemed to be asked to sell maps."

Apparently, they had gathered information in advance and were preparing to get a map.

"At that time, nobody stopped.

"Everyone seems to have stopped, but it seems that the leader boy did not have any ears to listen to. Well, even if I advise you, it is ultimately your own responsibility."

As Norris puts it all, the path chosen by mercenaries rests on the foundation of self-responsibility. Perhaps he had given some advice that he was a student, but no one had the right to stop what they were saying to go.

"And this is the map that I sold to the students at that time."

Norris took out a piece of paper from his pocket and Norris spread it on the carriage.

"The purpose of the students is supposedly" training ", but in reality it is probably" foiling ""

Aldis has no objection to it.

In the first place, there is no need to go to the Caucasus forest if it is just training. There are plenty of places where wild beasts and monsters live around the royal capital, and there is no need to go to Tria. Even veteran mercenaries would simply want a track record of "training in a dangerous place and surviving" with no guarantee of life.

(There are stupid things)

It was likely that a boxed boy and girl who grew up warmly without touching the dangers inside the guaranteed school.

"In that case, fighting around the perimeter of the forest wouldn't be enough, so maybe you're heading straight into the forest from the beginning?"

Norris's finger traces over the map. Starting from the nearest point from Tria, he slid his finger into the middle of the forest.

"What do you think of Orphelia?"

Twin sword beast "Yes ... First, assuming that they have not been exterminated, at least it will not be on the outer periphery. If you are fighting around" "at the outer periphery, you will win or lose You will not feel the need to stay on the outer edge. ''

The double-sword beast is a beast of about 80 cm in length that is widely distributed in forests throughout the continent, including the Caucasus. It has six legs and uses two tusks that have developed to occupy one third of its length when attacking enemies. It is said that the fangs look like two scimitar swords, hence the name double sword beast.

The force between the two tusks is very strong, and it can be cut off lightly by human feet. In addition, since the whole body is covered with a hard black skin, resistance to impact is high.

However, it is relatively calm for a carnivore, it will not be attacked unless approached indiscriminately, and if it is a full-time mercenary, he will not have much trouble.

Of course, it is still a strong enemy for new mercenaries. In other words, it can be said to be a good indicator for measuring the competence of new rice. In order to be active in the forest, you need at least the ability to lightly control the double-sword beast.

After closing her red eyes and thinking for a while, Orphelia started talking.

"Possible cases include being able to beat the outer beast and gaining self-confidence and proceeding deep into the forest, where they encountered a strong enemy and could not return to return. Did you go to the depths of the forest?

Aldis agrees.

"Yes, it's the route written on this map, isn't this the way to avoid the territory of the beast? It's convenient to go to the back of the forest avoiding the troublesome Zako, but follow this route If so, don't enter the Lactor territory without having to run into the beast. ''

Gunmo: "Isn't it really a lactor to fly a double sword beast? It's a terrible story for chicks"

"Well, I have to search for it assuming that I am lucky to survive. So, let's go with this search route. In the meantime, when Aldis explores magic and enters the territory of Lactor, talk about the future policy How about that? "

Everyone agrees with Norris's proposal.

"Then, when I discovered chicks-"

Ted's body, which opens to talk about further details, shakes unnaturally.

"What is it?"

Shortly after twisting an unexpected situation, the absence of a horse resounded and everyone's body leaned forward in the carriage. The carriage stopped suddenly.
