Chapter 314 Strongest Sage, Discovers Suspicious Place



"Err . . . This is Giruas, isn't it . . . "


"It is Giruas . . . "


Ruli and Iris are of the same opinion .


There's no mistaking his mana reaction .


Well, I suppose there's no way anyone can overlook that peculiar mana reaction .


" . . . Alright, let's be careful not to get found out by him . "


"Eh, we're hiding from him?"


"Yeah . It smells like trouble . . . I don't want to stand out while we're looking around this place . "


Giruas being here wouldn't be out of place if this were Raginia Union .


But . . . it's in Eis Kingdom here .


He must have some kind of reason to go out of his way and come abroad .


Probably sensed a presence of some strong person or something like that .


Giruas is a battle maniac .


If we encounter him here, he's almost assuredly going to challenge me .

I would be fine with that, normally . . . But fighting him in this situation will cause a commotion .


We have no idea where the demon and its underlings are lurking in this town .


Now is the time to grope around stealthily .


"You're right, Giruas will definitely stand out . . . "


"Yeah . So let's go survey the town while avoiding him . "


I walked in the town after saying that .


First, we need to look for the 『Coffin of Sealing』 .


Can't fetch the sword unless we know where it's located first .

" . . . The sword is inside the town lord's mansion, no doubt about it . "


Just as the night fell .


We came back to our inn and discussed with the girls .


"That mansion was suspicious indeed . "


There's a town lord's mansion in the center of this town .


Such a mansion is a common sight in any town . . . But what peculiar with this one was the inside .


"No one was inside such a big mansion besides the entrance . . . That's just weird!"


That's right .


The mansion was uninhabited, save for the area around the entrance .


Of course it can't be an abandoned house .


Lights were on when it got dark, and there were traces of people living as well .


And there were light foot traffic in the area near the entrance .


The town lord's mansion also function as a sort of public office .


It's clearly weird how only the front entrance was used .


I can't think of any reason why in ordinary situations . . . But I can hazard a guess from the information Second Academy obtained .


"They don't want to let anyone in . . . Perhaps there's something that must not be stolen inside . "


"You think so too . . . "


"Yeah . . . Though it's been concealed, there were traces of demonic mana mixed in the air . That mansion is undoubtedly under the rule of demon . "


There are spells that can control human's senses among ancient magic .


For instance, a spell that makes people who come to the lord's mansion unconsciously [unwilling to enter rooms in the back] .


Commonly known as [People Clearing] magic .


"Does that mean, the sword is inside that mansion then . . . ?"


"Most likely . We can find where it is if we use 『Active Detection』 . . . But I can make a guess even without . "


I unrolled a drawing of town lord's mansion on desk .


By looking at the drawing, I can make an educated guess from the way the building is structured, where it's focused into protecting something .


"This is the lord's mansion blueprint . "


"This drawing is so precise . . . Where did you get this?"


"I guessed it from mana seen through [Passive Detection] . . . As such, there are some parts where I'm not sure as well . "


I pointed at an area around the center of the mansion .


Mana from [Passive Detection] didn't pass through those sections well since they were too far from the path I took .


This much distance wouldn't pose a problem were the mana reaction was as big as a monster's at least . . . But I need to get quite close when the mana is only a trace amount from stone walls .


"Y-you made a drawing this detailed just from looking at the mana!?"


"Yeah . . . You too can tell mana reaction of say, those walls, can't you Ruli?"


I pointed at the inn's walls .


These inn's walls are made of woods that contain relatively dense mana .


It's easier to grasp than those made of stones .


"I can, sure . . . But only one piece of wall, you know?"


"If you can tell one piece, you can tell two, ten, any number of walls . . . You simply need to detect piece by piece and then drop them all onto a drawing . "


I put colors on some sections of the drawing .


Sections confirmed to have foot traffic .


" . . . This space is obviously suspicious, don't you think?"


After I was done coloring, I pointed at an area enclosed by walls .


That area isn't connected to any other room . . . It's completely isolated by walls .
