○ happy New Year''s day ○


    Tirini could not answer Mordred''s question, because as the five underground cavities of the actual main city in titania, the upper goblins, Alice and Midori had the right to know and use.


    [flying mouse, my intuition is that she doesn''t smell of lying, although there''s something wrong.]


    [ah, I think so, but I can''t get more if I go on, straight ball.]


    "Let''s ask," Mordred continued. "Is there any way to leave this damn virgin forest and get in and out of the country more convenient? We don''t need you to send it."


    "Well... If you don''t think it''s OK to go by yourself," tirini took the two to a window and pointed to the direction with sparse trees in front. "Go about eight kilometers there, there will be a fork in the landscape like this. Turn left and you can leave."


    "What about turning right and going straight?"


    "Most of those who dared to do so died in the forest."


    "OK, thanks for reminding. We''ll pay attention. Your snacks and drinks are delicious, thanks."


    When Mordred waved goodbye politely and walked out of the door, the flying mouse put a silver coin and a few copper coins on the table. He had lived in the world for so long, and he could estimate the appropriate price for what grade of food, even if he hadn''t eaten it, and he didn''t want to owe a favor.


    "Thank you... Thank you... Tip?" tyrini seemed to be unconscious and took the money blankly.


    "Yes. Goodbye and thank you for your hospitality."


    "... Oh, bye, have a good trip."


    Flying mouse and Mordred left. After a long time, tirini felt that the other party should not come back again, so she put her hand on her head and started the communication magic.


    [urgent, these are guys I can''t afford!]


    We know you didn''t clean them up. What happened


    [generally, I invited them to eat poisonous drinks and snacks. Neither of them found out. But it seems that the knight almost found out about the fake courtyard I specially made. My own toxin seems to be of no use to them. The poisonous snacks and drinks were eaten clean by the female Knight! I didn''t only eat snacks and drinks orally Poison Oh, even the gaseous poison that can penetrate through the skin was put all over the room, and the conversation box was specially opened to drag them for several hours. There were no poisoning symptoms at all. Even if my poison was a gaseous dilution concentration that could not be detected by any creature, it could not even hold on for two hours. What are those two monsters?!]


    Tirini was about to cry. She really admired herself for not showing her feet when she was poor.


    [maybe it''s a racial problem. Your poison doesn''t work well for all races, does it? We think you can be glad that it''s really so strong. Maybe it''s so strong that you don''t feel the poison. Otherwise, even if they are poisoned, they can shoot you before the poison is sent.]


    Yes, I''m glad, too


    Well, let''s leave it to us next


    [I know. Then I''m going to transfer. But the patriarch, Lord salier, is not here! I''ll give it to me... Speaking of it, it''s trying to find some opportunities for us in the imperial capital. What? So we can''t lose the chain at this time. Don''t we lose the chain? After blocking this monster for several hours, we haven''t humiliated our Lord salier? NAH!]


    [I see. Let''s say something nice for you. Have you observed any information?]


    [if you are also defeated or failed to catch them and let them slip away, maybe I will be found out and retaliated by the truth here. By the way, my poison has a strong hallucinogenic effect, so maybe magic and spiritual magic are useless to them. I''m really glad I spent a lot of time dressing up and summoning my compatriots to work hard on the set, instead of using magic to create false looks and scenes.]


    Tirini ran out of the room and said "release", and the house turned into light particles and dissipated. It''s just a tofu residue project that uses the lowest level props to create magic and forcibly expand the scope. Even if it is not removed, it can''t last until the next day.


    "Let''s work and get back to the original state." a burst of scattered transformation of tirini''s body, her human form was gone, turned into a flower ball without any sense of conflict in the forest, and quickly rolled into the trees.


    There was a rustling sound in the forest, and then several dense jungles moved, just like moving buildings. Patches of trees and large pieces of soil below closed the garden and restored the jungle landscape. It seemed that the garden had never appeared.


    While tirini was busy erasing her traces and taking refuge, the second peripheral defense line without the participation of upper demons and single digit sequences, Alice and Midori, had been arranged in the vast jungle of titania.


    And layers of reporting have begun. Since the founding of titania, there has never been an individual who broke through the first line of defense with single ability. Even if Starr fought with the camouflaged flying mouse at the border, it was accompanied by a large number of goblin troops and undead troops.


    ……………………………………………………


    At the beginning, the flying mouse and Mordred, who were "warmly entertained", knew nothing about the attack and were moving forward according to part of the route pointed out by tirini, but the way out was in the opposite direction.


    Then they reached the goblin''s second line of defense.


    The altitude of titania is not flat, and there are ups and downs, so it''s not surprising to see caves in the forest.


    Around the entrance of the cave, there are quite a lot of traces repaired manually, which are actually similar to those of the abandoned village.


    If the intruder falls into the endless jungle, he will lose his sense of direction sooner or later. With the magic assistance of guiding direction and detection, he can''t avoid paying attention to this place.


    When there is no clue in the forest, does the confident intruder have reason to refuse to explore the only other terrain that can be found now?


    Flying mouse: "do you want to go in and have a look?"


    Mordred: "it''s suspicious just by intuition? A little... A little dangerous atmosphere."


    Flying mouse: that''s right


    He used his magic to attack the maze with the best route. Although he didn''t think he could move forward smoothly like an ordinary maze, he had to consider meeting the enemy without carelessness, but moving forward in this way could eliminate the absolute dead end and reduce the degree of confusion. In the game age, this is not necessarily desirable, because some dead ends have mechanisms to open real channels, or have unexpected treasure boxes or monsters that can burst surprise drops, but the reality is different. At least flying mouse and Mordred have traveled in this world to this day and explored some legendary places and relics, but they have not found anything of that degree.
