The magic teleportation circle lies below ground of the Sky Circle.
The castle in the sky isn't just expansive above ground, but below as well.
Not just that, but underground is even more sophisticated.
Just a few levels down it becomes almost maze like.
The castle grounds are probably made for guests. It's below ground that's the real deal.
"We're here."
Sylvaril led us to a particular room 3 levels below ground.
A place easy to find once you know the directions.
No lighting in the room, but the magic circle shines pale white, illuminating the room.
"Perugius-sama just completed this magic circle to reconnect with an abandoned one on the Magic Continent."
"Abandoned?"
"It happens often with teleport magic. Destroy the magic circle on one side, and the other side stops working as well."
Teleport circles come in pairs.
But you can repair a broken one and use it again.
Magic circles of this world really come in all kinds.
"These kinds of magic circles are all under Perugius-sama's control?"
"Perugius-sama is indeed a great man."
Sylvaril sounds proud.
Speaking of which, drawing magic teleportation circles.
In these situation, making ones at will to connect everywhere sounds quite convenient...
But, because it's forbidden, he probably won't want to teach me.
Well, if I push my luck, I might end up making all sorts of enemies, so I shouldn't be greedy.
Nor should I forget that others can use them too.
For example, if a violent magic beast accidentally stumbles into one. It's possible.
If my magic teleport circles end up destroying a village or something, I'd have nightmares.
"Perugius-sama said this magic circle should get you close to the Great Demon Empress."
"Does Perugius-sama have any lead to Kishirika's whereabouts?"
"Of course."
Really?
He has a lead.
I thought I'd be on my own once I get there.
"But he could be wrong as well."
"... True."
The Demon Empress I know is unpredictable.
We might think she's somewhere, and by the time we get there, she has already disappeared somewhere else.
Her fiance Badigadi is the same...
Ah, right, Badigadi too.
I haven't seen him in a while. Maybe he returned to his domain already.
He has lived a long time as well, contacting him might give some result as well.
"I understand. We shall go investigate."
"We haven't confirmed the situation on the other side yet. The exit might be sealed as well. Be careful."
"Sealed?"
"The entrance might be destroyed to keep it hidden."
If there's no entrance, then it can't be found.
I see. That makes sense.
Sure people will look for trapdoors, but few will take a pickaxe and start wailing on walls.
Ancient Egyptians invented this technique.
Archaeologists have to pay special attention to seemingly empty graves.
Maybe that's how teleportation ruins were discovered as well.
"Em, if it doesn't work, then we'll return early."
"May the fortune of war be with you."
With Sylvaril's blessing we entered the magic teleportation circle.
