"Thank you for your radio appearance, brother Ars. You were able to speak well. I heard you were quite well received."

"Thank you, Kyle. I was actually a little more nervous than I thought I would be. It was easy for me to talk to Kili, though.

"I thought it was too easy. Well, anyway, I'm really glad you made it back in one piece. We were worried that there might be a contingency against a noble family like the Percival family, even for you, brother Ars, you know?

"It's true that just because it worked this time doesn't mean it will work the next. Especially those explorers in the labyrinthine streets are a nuisance. It was quite scary not knowing what kind of attacks they would come up with.

"That way. You weren't afraid of the head of the Percival family?"

"Well, you have to take a precautionary approach, too. But we had the advantage in terms of compatibility.

　I appeared on a radio show called Kili's Horoscope in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The radio broadcast had announced a few days in advance that a special guest would appear on the morning show that day, so it seemed that a lot of people had heard about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Kyle and others told me that it was quite a hit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So far, the only person who has complained a bit is my part-time brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He told me to tell him more about my successes, but I couldn't talk about my own brother's successes for too long because it was more important for me to promote other people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had no other choice but to make him feel better by giving him a bottle of his father's famous sake as a gift.

　Kyle asked me about something that I did not go into much detail about in the program.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He asked me if it was not difficult to deal with the Percival family, a big noble family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But to tell the truth, it was not so much of a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because Barka had a very good advantage in the fight against the Percival family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Percival family is one of the three major noble families that overthrew the old Hegemony.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Percival family is of course a very dangerous opponent with offensive magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, the magic of the Percival family played an important role in the battle against the Rizzolte family, the old Hegemony nobles.

　A poisonous magic bullet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is the name of the magic possessed by the knights of the Percival family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a simple magic that sends magic power like a bullet, but its magic power has a mysterious characteristic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead of ice or fire as in the case of the Ice Lance or the Oboro Fire, the magic itself is poisonous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even a knight who has fought many battles in the past will die in agony when struck by the [Poisonous Magic Bullet].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Barka's [Poison Disable] easily prevents such dangerous magic of the Percival family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until the actual fight, I was not sure if this would work or not. In the worst case, I thought that I would have to resort to a suicide attack using my speed to prepare my allies to be hit by bullets.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, a young man named Elvis, a knight under the command of my brother Byte, dared to eat the attack and showed me that the [Poison Disable] was effective.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... I remember that Elvis proved the effectiveness of the poison in the Fox Valley, where the flame ore is extracted, with his own body, didn't he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is that guy a dominatrix or something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I'll reward him through my brother Byte for his risk-taking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so the magic used by the knights of the Percival family, [Poisonous Magic Bullet], was successfully blocked by [Disable Poison].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of the cavalrymen didn't have Barca magic such as Picha, Wagner, and Elance, but they seemed to have been well covered by the Horned Men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battle ended with little or no damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, the higher level magic used by the Percival family is the same type of magic that turns magic into poison, and this was also nullified.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, the threat was supposed to be the martial arts performed with the amount of magical power of the head of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, as I had heard rumors, the leader of the labyrinth town was not skilled in physical combat, resting on the laurels of poison attack, the most powerful means of attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, he was more like an ornament that moved around with his big belly swinging and sniffling, and I was able to easily finish him off with my holy sword, Granvalka.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, to return to what I said earlier, it was much more nerve-wracking to deal with explorers who had no idea what kind of attack methods they would use.

"I see. But the Percival family was usually a very strong enemy. I've heard that the Resolute family lost a lot of strength in the battle against the Percival family because they didn't have a proper antidote."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I've heard that the Resolute family was using a meat-wall strategy to run out of magic power in the end. I can just picture the hellish scene."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... So, after the victory over the Percival family, Brother Ars found an unusual stone in the labyrinth. Is it useful, this transporter stone?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I managed to activate it. But I guess it's for use in the labyrinth. It seems to lose a lot of its performance here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I can go to any other transference stone I've touched instantly, can't I?　Can't you use it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it works. We have confirmed that it is possible to move between the transporter stones we set up in Vulcania and here in the city of Fontana."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Great. Then it worked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Yes, but in the labyrinth I was able to transfer without using so much magic power. It seems that outside of the labyrinth, here and in Vulcania, it consumes a lot of magic to transfer. I don't think it will be easy for anyone to use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What I was doing as I talked with Kyle was to set up the transporter stone that I had [memory storage] in the labyrinth in the labyrinth town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried to move between the transfer stones in Vulcania and Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there was a big difference from the behavior in the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One is the consumption of magic power when transferring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps because of the abundance of magic power in the labyrinth, or perhaps because of the absorption of magic power from the labyrinth, there was almost no consumption of magic power when transferring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lusica's testimony confirms that even if a person was so exhausted from searching the depths of the labyrinth that he/she could not move, he/she could return to the entrance if he/she reached the transfer stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if the transporter stone that I had memorized was set up here in the Fontana territory, a great deal of magic power was consumed during the transfer process.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, even a single transfer used enough magic power to invoke a higher level magic, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, that much magic power is consumed by the movement of one person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the labyrinth, it is said that it was possible to transfer a large amount of materials together with luggage, but this is not the case here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At best, it would be limited to personal baggage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But still, isn't it amazing that people can be transported in an instant?　This way, if there's another earthquake during the winter, I'll be able to transfer back to each knighthood."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I hope there are no more earthquakes, though. But, yeah. It's convenient. But the locations seem to be limited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, really?　It's not like Brother Ars can build a transfer stone anywhere he wants."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This has not yet been confirmed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seemed to me that it is not possible to place a transfer stone wherever one wants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, you can put it anywhere you want, but there is a high possibility that it cannot be transferred.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, where can we place it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it is a place where there is a magical connection.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it is a labyrinth, we are basically going down to the lower levels of the labyrinth, and there must be a magical connection with the labyrinth at that place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, which lands in Fontana are magically connected to which lands in the labyrinth?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we speak of a connection between the cities of Bartonia and Fontana, could it be a road or a railroad track that Barka magically created by changing the land?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have no proof, but I have a feeling that this is the case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is that the transfer stones in the cities of Vulcania and Fontana could be moved between each other, while neither of them could be moved to the transfer stones inside the labyrinth in the labyrinth city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they could have done so, they would have been able to get to the labyrinth city in an instant without using Valkyrie this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it was simply a matter of distance, so I set up a transfer stone in the forest to the north, but it was not possible to transfer there either, so my current hypothesis is that it is probably a matter of land and magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no danger of people from other lands jumping directly to Fontana, depending on one's point of view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I changed my mind and decided to place some more transporter stones in some other places in the territory of Fontana to confirm my hypothesis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I came to the conclusion that it seems to be correct.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, in addition to the cities of Vulcania and Fontana, I installed transporter stones underground in the cities of Baltonia and Arbalest.
