Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

Dragons, even in this world of stitched monsters, are mythical beings.

If there really were intelligent dragons in the universe, they would certainly arouse the second generation of the Dark Lord's strong interest.

"Nothing was found."

One day later, Luo Kell, who said he had seen every corner of the entire magical continent with his own eyes, did not find the location of the bright red sea of ​​flowers that should have been very conspicuous.

"I haven't found anything here either."

Lux, who continued to operate a complex three-dimensional magic circle at high intensity, shook his head and said that he couldn't find anything useful.

"It's very likely that the Dragon Worshipers used an unknown magical system to cover up the situation. Unfortunately, this is not the human world, nor is it the Earth where a magical tide is occurring. Without environmental changes, we can only rely on luck."

"..."

Conan-san frowned.

The most frustrating thing is that we have made discoveries, but cannot find more clues or the exact target.

Although it was very likely that the Dragon Worship Cult was not yet ready, and the blood-red sea of ​​flowers he saw would still need a long time to nurture and a dragon disaster would not break out in the near future, he really couldn't just let the matter go.

Conan-san was thinking, if he used his other enhancement magic, the more powerful [New Moon of the Earth Shining in the Starry Sky], to strengthen the power of his collaborators, would there be a way to find the target through prophecy magic.

“That’s unlikely…”

Conanshan shook his head in his heart.

Prophecy magic is not omnipotent after all, and one cannot place all hopes on one's companions' exhaustive magical search.

He needed more clues.

"The cooldown time of [Hermit Purple] is almost up. Or I can use this treasure to read out more pictures from different angles..."

Since his treasure can see the bright red sea of ​​flowers, it means that even if the Dragon Worship Cult has some unknown magical system to cover up the power, it cannot stop his peeking.

Conan can add clues little by little through [Hermit Purple].

The only problem is that you need to wait for the cooldown period after using the Noble Phantasm, which is a bit slow.

"If only my Heroic Spirit clone had stayed behind during the last Heroic Spirit War, then I wouldn't have to wait for the cooldown period..."

Conan even had the urge to summon himself.

However, we can talk about these later.

Now let’s focus on finding the blood-red sea of ​​flowers over there.

Conanshan told his two companions his idea and gave them some more time.

Both Lo and Rooks were easy to talk to, and they were willing to wait.

"Since there is a way to use your wonderful treasure to find more clues, it is worth waiting a little longer if we are not helpless. I don't like to give up halfway."

Rooks is the workhorse in finding the target and he will remain here.

As for Locke Kyle, because of his status, he could not be as free as Lukes, he needed to go back to the outside world temporarily to show his face and deal with some new work at hand.

The Chief Auror does not need to be on the front line dealing with various magical incidents all the time, but the Ministry of Magic will always keep an eye on this strongest human being, and he cannot disappear forever.

"Notify me if you find anything."

It wasn't long before Rock Kyle left.

Conan Shannai Jiao Liuqun¤:跁务ˇˉ愁榴〖〓塶"'San④４ears waited anxiously for the cooling time of his own treasure to pass.

As soon as the time was up, he immediately used [Hermit's Purple] to read and write.

He had joked before that this treasure was a useless ability of an old man, but now it has become a very useful ability that needs to be used frequently.

"The boomerang came back so fast..."

Conan-san showed Lux ​​the scene he saw this time through a slightly larger mirror that he had prepared earlier.

The size of the projection medium has no effect on the displayed image. What matters is always the delicate control of the power of the Noble Phantasm. However, it will be more comfortable to watch if the viewing medium is larger.

"Hmm? This sea of ​​flowers is in a valley..."

Before collecting more clues, Lux stopped the operation of the three-dimensional magic circle. While recovering his magic power, he tilted his head and looked up and down carefully at the picture in the mirror.

"The terrain of this valley is very peculiar, just like a screen, completely surrounding the sea of ​​flowers. This should be artificially created by the Dragon Worshipers. This unnatural terrain should be very obvious, but Luo's clairvoyance can't see it at all..."

Without Lux continuing, a possibility flashed through Conanshan's mind.

The two of them looked at each other at the same time.

They came to the same conclusion at the same time.

"Demiplane!"

129 Troubleshooting

"Our target is likely hiding in the demiplane."

Lux, who learned more clues through the reading of Conan-san's treasure, immediately deployed his complex three-dimensional magic circle, searching for the target by interweaving divination and prophecy magic.

However, if you want to be more certain, you still need to enter more possible conditions here.

"Let me think about it. Based on the image we just saw, I guess the demiplane where the red flower sea is located should not be opened up by the Dragon Worshipers with their own strength. It is very likely that it is a naturally generated demiplane."

If the demiplane was created artificially, then there would be no need to erect a screen-like mountain wall to protect the red sea of ​​flowers. Instead, an environment suitable for cultivating the sea of ​​flowers should have been created when it was created.

It is very likely because it is a naturally born demiplane and the environment is not suitable for nurturing those bright red dragon flowers, so additional means are needed to protect it.

Of course, there are no absolutes.

It is also possible that the magician who created the demiplane was incompetent, and the environment of the demiplane was deviated, so he had to resort to other methods to protect the red flower.

Lukes thought the possibility was very low.

In this world, the number of great magicians who are capable of creating demiplanes is definitely not large.

Since they all have enough power to create a demiplane to verify their own abilities, their requirements for themselves should not be low, and it is impossible for their demiplane to have any flaws.

As for whether it was a demiplane that was barely created by gathering the strength of many people, this possibility is also very low.

The creation of a demiplane is a very delicate task. Even if incompetent magicians gather together, they will only make things worse. They will not be able to coordinate and balance with each other, and the chance of success is extremely low.

⒊128141③9

Therefore, except for a small number of very rare examples, demiplanes artificially created through magic are all opened up by individual efforts.

"That demiplane should be fixed in the same place. I don't know many magicians who can carry a demiplane around."

Lux continued to input more exclusion and search conditions into his magic circle.

Conan is familiar with Autumn, the magic professor at Hogwarts. He has a demiplane that he can carry with him or leave in one place. But this man is a great druid with considerable strength, which is not comparable to that of an ordinary magician.

Professor Qiu looks very kind and seems ordinary, but he is actually one of the most advanced magicians in the entire magic continent.

"Ke, do you have any other clues that can be used? It doesn't matter if they are wrong. I am going to use the exhaustive method to find them anyway. Give me some advice."

"Um……"

Conan-san thought about it.

"The range of my treasure is limited. It should be about half of the magic continent."

He had tested [Hermit's Purple] on other Heroic Spirit clones before, so it should be correct to add this exclusion condition.

The area of ​​the Magic Continent feels like the Eurasian continent of the Earth combined, but a little bit larger, or maybe even a little bit larger.

The reason why this somewhat ambiguous term is used is that the magical continent contains many secret spaces and places with special environments that do not exist in the human world. Sometimes it is difficult to use accurate numbers to judge the actual area of ​​the entire continent.

Even if the place where the Dragon Worship Cult is hiding is a special place, since it can be seen by [Hidden Purple], then it is within the range.

"Half of the magical continent? I see."

For most of the next day, Lux kept working his magic.

Conan-san actually doesn't quite understand what this collaborator is doing, but it doesn't matter, as long as it's useful.

"Okay, we've identified some places."

After a long while, Lux stopped the operation of his magic circle.

However, the next search is the top priority.

"We'll have to split up after this. There are hundreds of places we need to search, so it might take some time."

Lux did get more useful clues and could use magic to search for the target more accurately.

However, because he used the exhaustive method, he still needed to conduct tedious on-site inspections to confirm whether the target existed.

If he were in the human world, as the chief magic consultant, he could use the resources and manpower and material resources that XCOM possesses to run errands for him.

Even if there are many places to search and confirm, there are people to help him and he doesn't have to do it himself.

However, in this magical world and under the current conditions, there are only three of them and they can only act on their own.

“There are so many places to search…”

Conanshan took the map handed over by Lux.

There are many places that need to be searched circled in red on the map. Even if the hundreds of places to be searched are divided into three parts, one person will have to search hundreds of areas alone.

This may seem a bit silly and feel quite ridiculous, but it actually marks out most of the possible problematic areas.

As long as the search conditions and exclusions he entered into the prophecy magic were reliable enough, the target he was looking for must be in one of these hundreds of places.

This is Luke's unique exhaustive search method.

To be able to do this through magic with almost no clues and no real evidence is quite amazing to a certain extent.

It should be said that no other magician can emulate this practice.

"Well, at least we have a direction, so let's go look for it."

Conan-san took action.

Later, Lux would contact Rockwell who was working as an Auror, so Conan-san didn't have to worry about anything and could take the lead.

The area that Conan-san is responsible for is concentrated in the eastern part of the Magic Great Search qＵＮ：㈡〕『㈨⑷≮０㈣}∴⒊⑤Rokuhashi Land.

There were many places he needed to check, some were in the deserted mountains and wilderness, and some were in the city.

With Conanshan's current ability and strength, as long as he doesn't commit suicide without a plan, or is foolish enough not to run away when he sees danger, he can enter and exit freely even if he enters some so-called forbidden areas.

If something really happens, just use the power of the Noble Phantasm to transform into a giant dragon and run away.

There aren't many things in this world that can break the defense of a giant dragon transformed from a treasure.

Of course, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the search needs to be conducted in a low-key and quiet manner.

Conan-san didn't want to be discovered by the Dragon Cult, and he didn't want to fail just when he was one step away from achieving his goal.

He checked every area very carefully, but found nothing.

It was not until three days later, when Conanshan, who was planning to return to the city to rest and sort out his affairs, suddenly received a notification from Lux through the spirit world messenger.

"Luo has found the target in the south. Let's meet up quickly."

Conanshan had no doubts and immediately rushed to the nearby plane station and headed to the south of the magic continent.

130 Suppression

“…Is this the place?”

Conanshan couldn't help but look back at the city with its distinct outlines at the foot of the mountain.

"The Dragon Worshipers are hiding so close to the city..."

"The Dragon Worshipers are also human beings. They also need food and drink. It seems that there are not many of them, so they cannot be self-sufficient. It would be easier to get supplies if they were in a place closer to the city."

What Rooks says now is more of an afterthought than an inference.

"Of course, the point is that they are lucky enough. The demiplane they hold should not be able to be moved at will. This is just right."

In any case, now that they have really found the target, there is only one thing they need to do next.

That is to attack Huanglong directly and wipe out the stronghold of the Dragon Worshiping Cult in one fell swoop.

"Then start acting according to the plan."

Lux nodded to the two companions beside him.

Then, he seemed to casually wave his hand and opened the invisible and imperceptible demi-plane passage hidden in front of him.

In the space ahead, a crack emitting a faint light suddenly appeared.
