 He had broken into the bedroom of the Duke of Jagus in order to apply <> to him as well.

 The king's room was filled with two members of the Shinobi Forces, <> and <>.

 This was immediately reported to the old man.

.

 Two seconds after the report, two , each about one millimeter in size, were sent to him using a .

 These are <> tuned to emit magic waves of a specific wavelength.

 The output is so minute that it cannot be detected by humans (mages) unless they are very careful.

 The old man thought so and took a two-step plan.

 He attached < with different output.

 The marker with higher output hides behind the marker with lower output and delays the detection of the marker with lower output.

 If you can buy about 5 seconds of time, there is a good chance that you will be able to detect the marker with a , even if it disappears by shifting.

  and took charge of one marker at a time, and approached the masked man to attach it to him.

 Since both of them were only 5 centimeters tall and were using invisible wards, they succeeded in attaching the markers to the hems of the masked man's pants and heels of his shoes without being noticed by the masked man.

 And he does it. The results come back in a few minutes at the earliest, a few hours at the latest: .......



 Then, the old man, who is a master of parallel processing, thinks of removing the <> that would have been applied to the Duke of Jags and Lubark Bassi.

<<......But was Lubark Bassi too? Surely it would have been easy to indulge the desire to be number one.

 How to cancel <>.

 One of them is the cancellation by the magician. In this case, it is necessary to use the same magic tool.

 The other is that the subject must have stronger <.

 In the case of the Duke of Jagus, you don't have to worry, but not about Lubark Bassi.

 His name is .

 He used to call himself Lardus the Humorous, but he ran away from his clan of origin, the , for several hundred years. He is a Lardus who has abandoned his clan name.

 He is 544 years old this year (3901). This is a very old age for a northern tribe.

 However, considering that Rorona (mother of Zion) of <> is 644 years old, she can be said to be still active.

 But that is a life span that can only be lived with moderation, hygiene, adequate nutrition, and good health.



 Lardus today is nearly bedridden and cannot travel around the continent as energetically as in the past.
