Isekai Taneuma

A few days after Waltstein's refugee army left for Bohemia, a shock struck the brave leader, who was relieved that the matter had finally been resolved. How dare the Imperial Special Forces, who had once infiltrated the braver realm and pursued the whereabouts of the earlier war criminals, discovered Isaac XI in Alma.

Hidden in the Land of Alma, Eleven planned a future decision against the interrogation of Imperial soldiers, apparently convincing his fellow soldiers that they were still lurking in the brave realm. The decision was to reclaim the Hermes realm, and the new Lord Hermes Isaac XII, who viewed it heavily, demanded permission for the Imperial Army to pass through the Thirteen Clans in order to wipe out the troubled elements hiding in the Hermes realm.

The emergency federal congress was confusing, showing the appearance of a witch trial that would no longer only hang the Alma Nation. Because the Alma Nation ruined it when it was supposed to get rid of the disturbed refugees and improve relations with the Empire.

In contrast, the Alma Nation explained that it was only natural at the time for the Hermes to help the 11th asylum in a friendly country. On the contrary, after listening to how much the Empire demanded, he bravely insisted that he should conscript immediately and prepare for the coming battle, as it would not run out until the Warrior Leader had completely surrendered.

However, no one endorsed such an Alma proposal, and Congress closed with a resolution condemning the Alma Nation. King Alma expresses his deep disappointment at the unilateralism of this majority and refuses to participate in the ensuing counter-terrorism conference before returning to the country. I didn't think the remaining twelve clans were a big deal....

However, King Alma, who had returned to his country in absentia from Congress, surrendered to his country or the Empire alone and declared that he would accept the presence of Imperial troops. After all, Congress listens to the Conservatives at all, giving way to the Empire, and eventually the invasion of the Imperial Army is inevitable. In that case, it was a painful measure to invite myself in and protect even my own territory.

On this occasion, the Federation Congress fiercely condemned the traitor Alma Nation, but it was a later festival when it did so. The Liberals who ruled the council were still looking for the culprits who led to the situation, and they began to deal with Negeba.

Regardless, the troubled Conservatives breathed back and finally passed the defense bill. Thus the brave 12 clans raised their heavy hips and began conscripting. However, against the brave leader who lacked such speed, the Imperial Army sent 30,000 troops to the brave leader when Isaac XII was set up as General. While the Brave Leader is here, he quickly starts deploying his troops.

It was named after the defeat of the Eleventh Generation, which was aimed at the Hermes kingdom, but the actual situation was obviously aimed at the effective control of the troops. The opposing twelve clans sent a few Federation troops to stop the Imperial Army from going south. This was called the Warrior Army. Thus, a battle was about to be fought with Bray Brand as the stage.

There's a rattling sound of fire. I can hear a howl and an owl. The lush trees don't even pass through a single moonlight, and the forest is closed in the dark. I remember the illusion that it floats in space. Only the human realm is within reach of the flames of fire. After living in the woods for a long time, Feng felt how much mankind had been saved by fire.

He made a noise and told her that the water in the pot had boiled. When the tea leaves were thrown down from the fire, a fragrant smell spread around. There wasn't much caffeine left in the Alliance branch, so I could only drink it when I was sleeping. If we don't get there soon, it's time for supplies to get tight. Instead of lemon, take a breath with the citrus fruit grown around it.

A week has passed since I was expelled from the village of Gargantuar. I no longer have a reason to stay in the big forest, so I am aiming to lead the brave, but I still can't see the exit of this vast forest. According to the map, it is time to hang on to the outer edge of the forest, but will it take about a day? It was supposed to be only a day, but after a long time, I felt strangely that the day was long.

Because I couldn't sleep, I took my turn to sleep, but there was another reason why I wanted to spend time alone at night. It is the decryption of the letters written on the map handed to the elder when he went out. The Elder told Feng where the magic mushrooms were grown, but the map of the Elder, who was not used to writing letters, was difficult to read.

I was working a little during the journey, but it was definitely more efficient to make time for it, so I was actively serving as the night shift, but thanks to that, I finally saw the end of the work.

Feng interrupted the work and took a sip, and Jeanne woke up from the tent. I was going to sleep next to Feng, so it seems like it's time to take turns. As he approached the fire with a yawn as big as a fist,

"Good morning, White, you're still working hard today. How's the decryption going?

Feng served freshly brewed tea to Jeanne.

"Oops, you've almost figured it out. After all, it seemed that maps were more important."

"Hmm... what did it say?

Feng spread out the map of the elders.

"The Elder wrote in the margins of the map that the location of this map is roughly around the Great Forest. The map is full of landmarks like big trees and rivers, but it's messy and I don't know. But as we read through the letters of the Elder, it turns out that this seems to be the area around the Great Forest that we're on our way to, facing the Heroic Realm. And there was a shrine that enshrined the gods of the village, and that mushroom was built around it."

"Ah... isn't that Luca, the god of the village? God of the Four Pillars."

"That sounds very different. It doesn't specifically say anything, but is there some kind of strange mark that indicates God? I want to see it, and the Elder is telling me that if I follow it, I'll get to God."

"What, that's a little scary... what's Mark like?

This is it.

Feng pointed to the mark drawn on the map. Jeanne looked at the mark.

"Simple mark... Tai Chi diagram? That's not true. It looks like a six or a nine."

"That would be the opposite direction. Looks like I have a big arm holding something from above. Maybe this is God's arm."

"Hmm... if I were to say that, it wouldn't look like that either... but I wonder if there were any animals with three fingers? Frogs?"

"Isn't there four frogs? There must have been an animal with hooves... a rhinoceros."

"Psi... I'm scared if you're a god or a demon beast."

"No, I think you're more scared."

When I was talking about it, it was a long time ago. Feng got Jeanne to replace him on the floor. I had trouble deciphering the Elder's map for the past week, but I'm glad the work was done before I passed.

So let's ask Leonardo and Guillaume to head to this map tomorrow. Maybe there's something. At least there's a magic mushroom... and he closed his eyes thinking about the candle and tomorrow.

The next morning.

I asked the waking Leonardo and the elders to go to the shrine of God, and I decided to go there. When Leonardo showed interest, Guillaume did not object, and the only non-combatant, Meatier, disliked it, but said that he would put Feng on the horse so that he wouldn't get tired, and eventually he followed him with a bump. A person who is prone to being wrapped around long things.

The destination was the outer perimeter of the big forest………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… and eventually the leaves of the trees that covered her head began to shine through the sun, and the weeds at her feet grew taller and taller, and finally passed through the big forest. A vast canyon stretched out ahead, and as far as the wilderness was concerned, it looked like a grand canyon.

Leonardo talked to me on foot, as he knew where I was when I walked out of the woods and I didn't expect him to go out of the woods. The Warrior's Land began with a pioneering project to fill the ocean, but it was gradually developed into a land area in 300 years, and now it is a country as wide as Hokkaido.

Once upon a time, there was a great river flowing here, and the ancients tried to exploit that water source. However, when the trees fell and the forest disappeared one after the other, the river dried up because of the dry climate just below the equator.

The land facing the sea tends to be mistaken because it is fertile due to precipitation, but inland areas seem to be easily desertified due to the dry continental climate.

Even if it is a large river, whether it is a river or a river in front of nature, the people of the brave leader who took this as a lesson, and since then, they have started to develop the forest as a boundary where the climate conditions change, and it is said that this is the current form of the brave leader.

Thus, the canyon, which showed off various natural threats, was then abandoned because people could no longer live, gradually weathered over the years, and now became a barren land full of sand and rocks. Leonardo said that if there is a shrine of God called the Elder here because people are not near at all, he nods what no one knows.

Regardless, it's been a long time since sunlight passed through the dark forest. We must proceed carefully from here so as not to be exposed to the heat of the desert. Particularly the non-adventurer Alliance Leader and Meatier have health concerns. And they're not taking camels, they're horses, so if we don't secure the water, we'll be stuck sooner or later.

That's why Feng and the others who arrived at the canyon first searched for a water field centered on the shade. It was then used as a campsite for exploring the surroundings with those who could move. Fortunately, because it is a former Great River, it seems that groundwater is flowing, and the water field was found lightly. And while I was putting a tent there, another good luck came in.

The Elder's map probably depicts this place, but few of the landmarks on the map were like trees or rivers. Perhaps the elders came here once, but since they were young, all the landmarks were weathered.

A map is useless without a landmark. So I got stuck... maybe I could find something from the high ground, and a light mani climbed up the cliff, and it happened that there was a cave, and there was a mural inside, and there was a mark showing God as an example.

The Elder wrote that if he followed this mark, he would reach the temple of God. I don't know who painted this mural, but perhaps the shaman of an ancient village left it to be a landmark when he came here. I mean, if you look, there's still murals everywhere.

That's why the group gathered firewood and food for a short stay... and the next morning they left the Guild Leader and Meatier, Lucy, and the horses they rode on at the camp to explore the surroundings. I thought Leonardo would not participate in such an authentic task, but apparently he is also concerned about the secrets of Gargantuar's village.

By the way, Mary and Mani were active in the exploration, not the skilled Guillaume. They are both lightweight because they are still children, and it seems like they have no choice but to enjoy this kind of treasure hunt. No, Mary is 300, not a kid, and Mani is nine, but she's an adult... well, let's just say it looks fun.

That's how I found quite a few murals by the time the sun hits the top of my head. And as we plot the locations of the murals that are found one after another on the map, we gradually see the trend, or the direction that it points to.

When I took a break for lunch and went to look for the place I expected while exercising after meals, I found a new mural. Apparently, there is no mistake in this direction. Feng and the others stopped exploring in pieces and walked together towards their destination.

And finally, we found the temple of God we were looking for.

The murals were just paintings of walls, all of which were drawn in horizontal holes naturally dug by wind and the like. In other words, if you focus on finding a place with a cliff, you will find it, so as you follow the mural more and more, it will go to the lower part of the canyon.

It must have been the bottom of the river a long time ago. As I walked along the bottom of the valley surrounded by high cliffs on both sides, Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable with the landscape he was looking at when he came to a place.

I don't know why, but somehow I feel like there's something there. What's bothering you? Looking closely, he discovered that the shadow created by the valley was camouflaged and the entrance was becoming less visible.

Is this a natural hole? Looking inside, the light leaked from the back. Apparently, it wasn't a cave, it was a tunnel leading to the other side of the valley.

Because this tunnel is not something that can be made by natural erosion, perhaps it was made by human hands. I don't know who made it, but it's very likely that there's an artifact ahead. Feng's chest jumped through the tunnel....

"Uhyo! Treasure Mountain Yankee!"

Beyond the tunnel, there was an open square where the magic mushrooms of interest flocked. It looked fluorescent to Feng's eyes, like a carpet of light made by a swarm of royal insects.

"Then this is the Valley of the Wind. Uhihihi"

"Hey, hey, wait!

Without hearing Guillaume stop, Feng rushed in with a slutty face, dripping saliva. I wanted to tell you to be careful because you don't know what's going on in this unnatural space, but that junkie didn't seem to hear anything anymore. Guillaume sighed and sighed. For now, she seemed relieved, so she went through the tunnel after Feng.

The square was dark surrounded by tall walls. It was unusual in the desert to see a lush tree leakage day above his head, indicating that there was a water field around here. The sun only shines during the daytime when the sun is high, so I guess it was just right for growing mushrooms. Probably walking up there won't get in the way of the bushes and realize they're here.

It's about twenty meters wide, or slightly raised ceilings, and it's like a dome. There were mushrooms crowded against the wall, and a few pillars of stone stood in the center of the square.

It looks like a natural object, but it must be an artifact because it is so easy to understand and evenly arranged. If anyone sees it, they'll think of Salisbury's Stonehenge. But it was built by a long time ago to measure the calendar, but it doesn't make sense because the sun doesn't shine in here.

Then what the hell did you build this thing for...? The elder said it was a temple of God, so is there something enshrined?

Guillaume is looking around with that in mind.

"Hmm... isn't this a labyrinth?"

Leonardo, who was watching us from behind, murmured.

"Labyrinth? This is it!?

Looking back in surprise, the old man nodded back.

"I feel like a spiritual sign here, but it seems that there is a slightly different spirit barrier. The Labyrinth is the destruction of the flesh of the man who formed the strong qualia in his lifetime, and only his will remains in the world. Somehow, souls and spirits and things like that have become real after death....."

While Leonardo was talking about it, he noticed something, pointing at the center of the square with a cane he had.

"Come on, if you're conscious, it looks like you're coming from over there."

Surprised by the words, Guillaume looked back, and a square object like a giant statue pedestal appeared in the middle of a stone Henge that had nothing before. The middle part opens its mouth completely. When I approached and peered inside, the pedestal was supposed to be only about a meter wide, but it seemed to go all the way inside. I didn't think there was such an object that ignored the laws of physics. Looks like you're looking at a fake painting.

"This is the labyrinth... I've never seen it before"

Guillaume swallowed Gokuri and Tsuba. The Labyrinth, the adventurer's biggest and ultimate goal. The entrance is now in front of him.
