spirit vein.

It is a word that refers to a place where mana, which is unevenly distributed in the world, is particularly concentrated.

The value of the spirit vein changes depending on how high a concentration of mana is concentrated in a wide range.

Cities were often built on large territories, as was the zodiac.

The capital of the empire, built on the largest continent on the continent, had developed and operated a number of powerful defense weapons powered by the territorial vein.

Labyrinths are also closely related to spirit veins.

A labyrinth is usually classified as a labyrinth where monsters who are attracted to the spirit vein dig a hole to build a nest, or illegally constructed under the spirit vein without the permission of the state.

In the latter case, there were many cases where the reclusive wizard created a fortified hideout under the spirit vein, causing problems.

In fact, most of the labyrinths were not very dangerous.

Once or twice every few hundred years, a labyrinth that stirs the continent like Valerius’ labyrinth is discovered, but it was a very rare case.

The labyrinth, which had been attacked, was left unattended depending on the situation.

There were countless ways to utilize the spirit vein, but the territory that was too far from the city was not profitable.

Near the route from the Count of Phillips to the Imperial Horse Tower, there was also an attacked labyrinth that was neglected because of this low profitability.

On the way to the tower, Floria blew the wind on Alesia first.

“There is a labyrinth that has been attacked in this area, would you like to take a look?”

“Oh! I definitely want to go there!”

Alesia, who was originally curious, nodded vigorously.

The labyrinth was left unattended after being completely attacked, so it wasn’t too dangerous.

There may be a few monsters entangled, but if there were several experts, they could wipe them out at once.

However, those who accompany the countess girls did not want to enter dangerous places.

Osiris was discouraged, but Floria remained stubborn.

Alesia’s eyes lit up, and she started whining at Ray and Jenkinson.

Jenkinson had no intention of complying with Alesia’s request.

However, Ray stepped forward and fueled Alesia’s will.

“Although the labyrinth is a dangerous place, there’s no need to worry. I’ll take good care of it.”

“After all, you are my knight! You are becoming more reliable day by day!”

Alessia smiled and liked it.

After Jenkinson stopped the carriage for a while, Ray called in and set up a place for the two of them.

“What are you thinking?”

“Isn’t the labyrinth we’re going to visit dangerous? At the very least, there must be a few monsters roaming around, isn’t it okay to ask the lady? It’s been a long time coming, isn’t it?”

It sounded like it.

However, Jenkinson had already clearly grasped Rey’s character.

Jenkinson narrowed his eyes and questioned Rey.

“Don’t play with puns and be honest. If I were you, I would have persuaded you not to cause any trouble.”

“haha.”

With a small smile, Ray replied.

“Master, where are we heading now?”

“…the imperial horse tower.”

“Yeah, Matop. A den of mind-boggling psychopaths.”

Rey looked back at the carriage for a moment, then sighed and continued.

“Let’s go before we get to the tower.”

“liver?”

“I’m talking about Floria. Let’s know ahead of time what it’s like outside the Count of Phillips. We’ve got a little stage that we can control.”

“…”

Jenkinson was in trouble for a moment.

The story of Floria was also told by Count Jenkinson.

Obviously, it was necessary to know in advance about Floria before going to the horse tower.

Jenkinson nodded reluctantly.

two days later.

The carriage carrying Alesia and Floria arrived in front of the labyrinth.

There was a cave-like entrance next to a small mountain range. It was the entrance to the labyrinth.

There was a warning sign written on a wooden plank, but it was difficult to read the text properly because it was so old.

Rey looked at the wooden planks and recalled the information about the labyrinth she had heard on the way.

A labyrinth created by a high-ranking wizard decades ago.

It has been a long time since they were attacked, and all the traps the wizard had made were either released or destroyed.

It was a no-nonsense place.

However, the atmosphere was quite plausible, and Alessia shed a cold sweat in front of the dark labyrinth entrance.

“It must be really fun…”

He seemed to be a little terrified when he came here.

Ray raised the corners of her mouth and held Alesia’s hand.

“I’ll take good care of you, so don’t be afraid, miss.”

“I’ve never been afraid! Still reliable!”

“…”

Avencio, a knight of the House of Osiris, looked at Alesia who was smirking and shook her head.

Alesia, playing with the lowly native Squire, seemed quite pathetic.

It was a recognizable disregard, but Jenkinson and Ray did not respond.

For nothing, only Hamus and Victor were looking around nervously.

Leon opened his mouth.

“Then the escorts do this.”

After a short meeting, the number of people to explore the labyrinth was divided.

Alesia and Floria. And three knights and three servants to escort them.

Leon, the knight of the Osiris family, decided to stay outside the labyrinth to protect the workers and the wagon.

Floria raised her finger in front of the labyrinth.

“light.”

A round sphere floats over the finger, illuminating the dark interior of the labyrinth.

I couldn’t continue to use magic, so I took a few glowing artifacts, but there was no need to use them.

When entering the labyrinth, the mana flowed from the spirit vein flowed down the ceiling, emitting a soft light.

At the sight of her for the first time, Alesia was delighted to meet her hands.

“Oh… this is a labyrinth I’ve only seen in books…! It’s so beautiful!”

“Iknow, right.”

Ray also came in after imagining a gloomy cave, so he admired the light-flowing ceiling.

Moreover, the labyrinth was considerably wider than Rey’s expectations.

‘I was told it was a labyrinth with a two-story structure… Is there another place like this downstairs?’

While Rey was in her thoughts, Alesia’s exasperated pace accelerated a little.

At that moment, at the end of Rey’s vision, the magic circle engraved on the wall passed.

Cheeky!

A small flash of light penetrated between the seams of the magic circle that someone had cut.

Spiritual mana dwelled in the silent magic circle, and light burst out in an instant.

Rey pulled Alessia straight away.

Kwaang!!

“Hey!”

Alessia was startled by the sudden explosion coming out of her nose and clinging to Rey.

Rey waved her hands to blow the smoke away, then put Alesia down.

“There may still be traps left, so be careful.”

“No, I’m surprised!”

Alessia nodded and wiped her chest.

A single magic circle could not suppress Alesia’s curiosity.

Alesia and Floria’s labyrinth exploration continued.

In the process, the magic circle of traps that were released often appeared, and when hunting a monster that had established a base in the labyrinth, the wind blew and disturbed Rey’s center of gravity.

Small incidents Accidents continued, but Ray did not care.

Protecting Alesia, we continued to advance, and soon we could see the end of the labyrinth.

“This is the last time!”

Alessia, facing the wall, spread her arms and regretted it.

At first glance, it seemed that there was no more space left. However, it was a well-known fact that this labyrinth had a two-story structure.

As Rey had heard beforehand, as he moved the stone at the end of the labyrinth, the floor began to open with a small vibration.

Kugugugung!

When the space of about 10 m was opened and the basement was exposed, everyone looked down with very interesting expressions.

The basement was quite deep, but there were no separate stairs to go down to the basement.

“Why don’t you just take a look around today…?”

Just when Jenkinson was trying to convince the countess girls to stop coming back.

A strong wind blew towards Alesia, who was kneeling with her face pointed towards the basement.

“Awkward?!”

Alesia’s body, which had lost her balance for an instant, fell down.

Rey, who had been preparing in advance, threw herself straight, grabbed Alesia, and shoved a knife into the wall.

Alesia was relieved as she dangled her legs in the air.

“It’s nice to have Ray!”

“I think you should pay more attention to safety.”

Rey pulled Alesia up, and Jenkinson accepted it.

When Rei climbed up the wall and climbed up to the upper floor, the atmosphere became cold.

What kind of wind is it in the deep cave?

It had been a long time since everyone noticed the reason why the broken magic circle was activated in the labyrinth.

However, I pretended not to know and was going to pass. Isn’t Alesia injured? It was just a joke between friends.

Ray sighed deeply.

Ray scratched the back of his head and looked at Jenkinson.

“I can’t. Let’s subdue it.”

“…Is it really necessary?”

“yes.”

Looking at what she was doing in the labyrinth, it was clear that Floria would continue to cause problems even if she went to the tower.

The tower is a place full of things and people far more dangerous than the labyrinth.

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Now, even Ray alone could handle Floria’s pranks, but it was absolutely impossible at the Magic Tower.

In fact, if Floria went to the tower and had an accident and ended up taking responsibility alone, Ray wouldn’t have bothered either.

‘But this study abroad means that Alessia is going with Floria’s tail.’

From the point of view of the Imperial Palace, it meant that the two were one set.

If Floria has an accident, Alesia will be held jointly responsible.

Perhaps Count Osiris allowed Alesia to accompany her in order to disperse the responsibility of her daughter or to shift the blame.

Moreover, Alesia lives close to Floria and will see her often.

If Floria continued to threaten Alesia, she could one day be seriously injured.

Ray concluded.

“I need to solve this problem before we get to the tower.”

Jenkinson frowned.

The Earl of Phillips entrusted Ray full power on this ‘issue’.

If Ray was black, so was Jenkinson.

“…Are you confident that you can ‘solve’ it completely?”

“You have to do it first, don’t you think?”

“Whoa.”

Sreung!

Jenkinson sighed and drew his sword.

The knights of the House of Osiris were the flagship.

“Sir Jenkinson!! Calm down!!”

“You’re so excited! Put down your sword!!”

Contrary to their concerns, Ray and Jenkinson were very calm.

Jenkinson looked at Floria and asked Ray.

“Rather than complicate things… Wouldn’t it be better to just kill them? You can do it.”

It was the story of the wind spirit.

However, the knights of the Osiris family, who accepted Floria as a meaning of killing them, drew out their swords and vented their anger.

Rei shook her head in the intense atmosphere.

Rey did not know the contents of the contract Floria made with the spirit.

Although the probability is low, Floria could also lose her life if she killed the spirit.

Even if it weren’t for that, Rey was going to try experimenting with the spirits and contracts this time.

Actually, that was the main one.

Rei gave an order with a firm expression on her face.

“Jenkinson, subdue it.”

Tsu!

Jenkinson drew out his sword and charged towards Floria.

Mendes stood in front of Jenkinson.

Pagagak!!

As the sword began to swirl, Avencio shouted at the servants.

“Protect the girl!”

Hamus and Victor stood next to Floria and raised their mana.

As Rey rushed in, Avencio swung his sword in front of him.

Avencio was planning to cut Rey quickly and join Mendes to take down Jenkinson.

The swords collide with each other.

Kaga!!

“this guy…!!”

Kagang!! Kaga!!

Avencio, who swung the sword a few more times, was puzzled.

Rey’s skills were superior to Avencio’s expectations.

Although he couldn’t pull out the sword, he was somehow blocking Avencio’s sword by injecting mana into the sword.

The win starts to escalate.

Kagang!! Kaga!! Kaang!!

‘this…!’

I turned around to see Mendes being pushed by Jenkinson.

You don’t have to take your time with the squire any longer.

Avencio pushed the mana into the sword to stifle Rey with force.

As the giant sword approached, Rayza regained her posture as if nervously.

At that moment, the wind blew and disturbed Rey’s balance.

“Ugh…?!”

Ray couldn’t focus and he stumbled.

Avencio did not miss a chance and lowered the ray.

The corners of Ray’s lips were long torn.

Tsuzui!

In an instant, the dark blue energy of Rei’s sword was condensed like a thread.

A strike that swung like a thunderbolt shattered Avencio’s sword and pressed down on his breastplate.

Kwaang!!!!!

Avencio, who was thrown out, was locked in a wall and lost consciousness.

At the same time, Jenkinson, who had dug into Mendes’s arms, struck Mendes in the jaw with the hilt of his sword, stunning Mendes.

Go back to Rey’s head.

The wind spirit in the shape of a wolf could not understand the situation and was hesitating.

Rey giggled with a ripped corner of her lips.

“Are you going to miss something?”

The space sword was swung towards the spirit’s abdomen.

“You’re f*cked, bastard.”

pooh !!
