Chapter 85 – The Great Mountains – 5
A stealthy large-scale monster.
In order to observe it, first of all, it was necessary to find the area where it usually appears.
After charging magic crystals to be used in the hastily prepared magic radar, he began to search for the range.
There was a need to make preparations as quickly as possible.
He doesn’t touch humans right now, but he’ll probably do it sooner or later.
Before human taste, all humans who enter the Great Mountains have magical powers. It is an instinct to covet magic. The moment they eat it and feel inadequate, they will come down to the city.
Then it becomes complicated when you think that you are just going back in this wide land.
“We recruited people we can trust.”
Articles alone cannot solve it.
The Great Mountain Range is not a place you can enter simply because you have a map. Unlike what you see from the outside, the space inside is strangely distorted.
That’s why he called Isabelle when he needed the help of adventurers.
“Knights and adventurers. And as a researcher, act as a team of three. And after avoiding dangerous areas, try to observe them with radar.”
And to prepare for something, another person waits at a distance far enough to be observed by sight. If you are unlucky enough to meet the gnome, a device to deliver the news right away.
While preparing other means, the investigation team was set up as quickly as possible, and at the same time, the workshop experiment was conducted.
From day one, the experiment didn’t go well.
“It is difficult to accurately measure the reflected wave because it is affected by the surrounding magic power.”
I checked the materials Marton had brought with me.
Since it was urgent, I personally went out and checked the measurement pattern on the spot, but it was unreasonable to use the modern radar as it is.
I’ll continue the experiment as it is, but if I can’t use it properly, I’ll have to make the risky choice of stimulating it with my magical power.
“Have a hard time.”
“All right.”
In fact, if there was no way like this, in the end, I had to find a person to free myself.
And the only ones willing to accept the fact that they have to lure what is presumed to be large are the privates of the Franz family. Forcibly mobilizing adventurers would be an act of dishonoring the Franz family.
If you say you’re giving money, there won’t be people who will receive it, but the number will be small anyway.
A day passes like that
Two days pass, three days pass.

“I did it!”
“Five?”
After finishing the organization of the investigation team and actually dispatching it, Marlton was contacted.
Chloe, Isabelle, and Marlton were called into the office to confirm the results of the research.
It’s a face that reminds me of a lot, but judging from the dark circles under the eyes and bloodshot eyes, it seems that they continued to experiment in the workshop, as reported in the report.
Receive the materials Marton gave you.
“Reflected wave measurements ended up failing.”
“Yes? I can’t help it.”
It seems to have concluded that what was written in the report cannot be trusted considering the influence on the surrounding magic power and the fact that the magic power itself easily changes its characteristics in the first place.
Especially the problem is people who are sensitive to magical power. It is said that even knights and adventurers, as well as nobles like me, sometimes respond to magic waves.
So change to plan B.
Rather, it was determined and changed to pouring out mana waves.
“The problem was that there was too much focus on stealth. If the magic wave was recognized anyway, there was no need to hide it.”
Marton’s words were simple.
If you can’t hide the magic wave anyway, there’s no need to hide the poured out magic wave.
“I apply one additional function to the magic waves sent in that way.”
“Gathering.”
Like the pollen on the body of a bee flying to collect honey.
Collect traces of magic the moment the magic wave poured out for observation is reflected on the target.
The word “Collecting” Is strange. By pouring out very pure, transparent magic, you can confirm what is buried in that magic.
“Even if the magic wave is detected and all absorbed or manipulated, the reliability of the magic wave pattern is maintained by comparing the change with the previously set pattern.”
Oh, I’ve heard of this
This is a method for detecting errors when transmitting data using communication. Was it a parity bit?
I smiled at Marton’s report.
As expected, if you throw in an idea, it will research on its own.
“It may be easily seen by people, but we can only hope for future results, and it will work right now.”
“Yeah. If only a covert large-scale monster could pass even magic power…”
Marton shook his head in concern.
If such a person exists, it is not something that can be easily dealt with in the first place.
“If you think about it that far, you can’t stop at all. We start investigating, and if there are no results, we have no choice but to control people.”
And simply my… No, it’s not just Franz’s problem.
Starting with Franz, all the territories around here will be the target. Of course, we are the ones who suffer the most. If that happens, I will have to call Aidan-hyung as well.
“Of course, I can’t say that this is a sure way, but…”
“Yes. But it doesn’t matter. Because I can’t go around the entire Great Mountains myself.”
The more and more reports come up, the higher the probability that the target is a large monster. If it is a real large class, it does not hide itself, but if it is a covert type and naturally hides due to its race, the possibility itself is not small at all.
“I’ll do a real test right away.”
“Gwa, are you okay?”
“Yes. Even if the magic radar wasn’t completed anyway, it was a situation where there was no choice but to investigate it with human resources.”
I look at the magic crystal I brought as a test.
Look at the magic spell imprinted on the magic stone. This is also an area for further research.
There are many places to invest.
“Hurry up with parasols.”
“All right!”
The magic stones themselves were overflowing in Franz’s warehouse. It just needs my permission to write it. I filled out the permit and gave it to Marlton. Sending Marton, who bowed her head, withdrew, and looked at Isabelle.
“The adventurers directly under the guild. Did you say watchman?”
“Yes. It is a unit that investigates and arrests criminal adventurers, illegal poachers, etc.”
“Teach them how to use the magic radar, and familiarize them with the entrance to the Great Mountain Range.”
“Already running.”
She nodded her head at Isabel’s words.
And…
“My father?”
“Looking at the contact, it looks like it will arrive around next week.”
“Are you coming down Mount Gulan?”
“Yeah.”
Gulan Mountain.
A mountain extending from the Great Mountains.
It is ambiguous to call it a great mountain range, and it cannot be said that it is not.
One of the roads connected to Müller.
I thought about it for a while.
“I head over there myself.”
“Yeah?”
“Leo! No!”
Isabel is startled and Chloe immediately opposes.
I shook my head at the sight of the two of them.
“There was not enough manpower anyway, so I had to step in myself.”
“But!”
“Also, even if there is no big deal for my father in the covert attack, the fact that my father’s army suffered damage itself is not a good thing.”
If nothing happens, that’s fine.
I plan to explore Gulan Mountain anyway.
I looked at Isabelle.
“Where is the road from Trestle to Gulan Mountain?”
At my words, Isabelle put on a worried expression for a moment.
No matter how much she is Isabella, it is difficult to say that she knows all of the routes in the Great Mountains.
Fortunately, she seemed to know.
“There are several ways to go, but the closest entrance is called Yellow Hill.”
“Yellow Hill?”
I tilted my head at the unusual place name.
It is not that the country does not know all about the Great Mountains. I know about the famous area among them, but I’ve never heard of the name Yellow Hill.
“It is at the bottom of the entrance, but as you know, it is close to Gulan Mountain, so it is out of the way to the inside of the Great Mountains, so it is a place where people are rare. It is called the Yellow Hill because yellow flowers bloom throughout the year.”
“Great. Then let’s go directly. Do you know the way?”
“Sorry. I figured it out roughly on the map, but if you want to guide yourself…”
Isabelle bowed her head in her face.
You can go alone, but you can’t accompany me and guide me safely and reliably.
“… Then hire an adventurer.”
“Yeah?”
Isabelle and Chloe’s eyes blinked.
I heard that the number of watchmen is not small even though there are still not enough people.
If it’s hard to get people out of a team that should consist of 3 people or even 4 people, you should get a veteran here.
“There are guys like that everywhere. He gave up on going up, but he has lingering lingering feelings and can’t even run away.”
Find a guy like that and give him directions.
First, look at how sensitively the improved magic radar reacts, and then look at what magical patterns were recorded while distributing them to adventurers. And if a peculiar pattern is found, the adventurer conducts a close examination once again of the path the adventurer has moved on.
I don’t intend to use it as bait, so I’ll have to continue researching the radar’s performance, but I’ll have to go around and test it myself just in case.
* * *
For those reasons, I don’t have any intention of going out with Isabel or Chloe for now.
“Her. A seven-colored tiger.”
A tiger with the ability to assimilate its body into its surroundings. It’s not seven colors, but it was called that way in the past, so it’s still called seven colors, but like the tiger in the previous life, it’s a hunter by instinct, so it’s said that those with magical powers are especially dangerous.
“Is that guy haunting the Yellow Hills as well?”
“Stop, no way! He’s the guy you’ll see in the middle. Me too, this is my first real thing… !”
Hans’ magical power is really small, but compared to other low-class adventurers around here, it’s not bad. If you look at how you control yourself, it seems to fit your career. But that tiger was a guy that even Hans couldn’t help.
Seeing the two of them fighting the tiger, I don’t think there’s a need to step out. I looked at the trail slowly.
