131 [2-65] Its a dungeon with a much stronger enemy t... (2/2)
Our first priority is to assess the situation. If the number of troops and the defense system are judged to be conquerable, we will continue to defeat the ”Rose Princess of Hell”. ...... Let's go!
”I'm not sure what to make of that.
This is .
”This is .......
The group climbed to the top of the city wall completely unnoticed by the guards, but they had to stop there.
The inside of the wall had been transformed.
It should have been a ghost town where all the inhabitants had fled, but the streets had turned into bullshit, as if they had been toyed with by avant-garde artists.
Many buildings were intricately constructed, and the city was divided by walls like a maze. There were passageways, plazas, and tall turrets scattered about that seemed to be for guards.
These structures, with their meaningless windows and store signs protruding from odd places, created an eerie impression as if the city had been cut and pasted together.
The city has been remade like a labyrinth.
The center of the city was a group of buildings that seemed to be integrated into the city walls. The buildings spread out like a donut with the castle at the center, and passageways were secured like capillaries, and bundles of pipes and tools were placed in some of the wider areas.
”What is this, it's weird! It's so different from the last time I was here.
As Loretta said as she hugged Erminio's arm (pressing her ample breasts against his), this scene was freaky.
It's not the result of random building like a slum, but a calculated collapse of order.
To put it bluntly, it was 'bad taste'.
Why, it looks like it's still under construction in the back.
Must be some kind of magic.
While keeping an eye out for skeletons on patrol passing in front of him without noticing Erminio and the others, Erminio observed the city.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
...... This is a technique often used to create large buildings.
My father gave me a villa for my tenth birthday, and when I went to see the villa in progress, I saw a magician doing it.
In fact, this level of construction could have been done by a single skilled magician.
And this is the royal capital. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
I just used the buildings in King's Landing as materials to build a mock-up. It's nothing to be afraid of.
Well, it'll be a souvenir for Noah Curio's army. Edgar, write it down.
”Hey.
Edgar took out a sort of bronze mirror from his pack and pointed it at the castle (or whatever it was).
This is the Blue Mirror of Aftershadow. It is a magic item that can capture what you see and project that image as an illusion.
This is a magic item that allows you to capture what you see and project the image as an illusion, much more accurately and in a shorter time than a sketch.
”Recorded.
Okay.
...... Hey. What are you going to do now, Herminio ......?
Even though Loretta was anxious, Erminio was smug and confident.
What do you have to be afraid of? What is there to be afraid of? There are not many undead soldiers here, are there? That's all there is to it, Loretta. No matter how great the building looks on the outside, there is no essential change.
Erminio snickered.
It's as if the entire city has been turned into a battle camp, but there are no soldiers to make it work.
There are shadows of undead in what looks like a watchtower, and only a few of them are standing here and there.
If we destroy them individually, it will be easy to annihilate them.
Let's just watch out for traps. Edgar, go ahead.
All right, sir.
Edgar took out a fluffy feather and attached it to his head. It doesn't look right.
The item was called the ”Cloud Thunderbird Feather” and it was designed to reduce the speed of falling and prevent damage over a certain distance.
Kicking noiselessly against the edge of the city wall, Edgar leapt to the ground far below.
Landing quietly, he looked around as if searching his surroundings, and then beckoned to Erminio and the others on the city wall.
The four who had been waiting for him also put on the ”Cloud Thunderbird Feather” and jumped down from the top of the city wall.
Before they could reach the ground, they were swallowed up by the shifting formation that had developed in the air and disappeared.
