Chapter 301 Strongest Sage, Looks for Lead

"Ah Mathias-san and his party . Welcome . "

"Yeah . We just got back . "

Then we went inside Grevil's room .

. . . There's a lot more stuff inside Grevil's room .

The majority is related to teaching materials .

Looks like he's been busy as an educator .

"I also saw Gene . . . That light . I a.s.sume it must be the shockwave from the destruction of [Broken Star]?"

"Yeah . Something like that . . . What effect did that light have?"

"There is no problem at all, nothing to worry in that regard . . . Actually thanks to the procurement of a ma.s.sive amount of materials for free, the town is in a slight festive mood right now . "

Festive mood huh .

That was because of monster materials huh .

100 kilometer radius is a decent size after all .

" . . . They don't know the cause right?"

"Of course, the cause remains a mystery . . . Some people are suspecting that it has something to do with Mathias, but since they have absolutely no basis at all, you can rest easy . "

"Are they doubting me?"

"Rather than doubting . . . It's more like they'd just automatically a.s.sume Mathias-san is behind it whenever something magically unexplainable occurred . And since that fits the bill this time . . . "

I see .

Blaming me whenever something weird happened is pretty harsh .

I mean the one who did it was a long gone mage, Gaias, not me .

"What caused problems is the lights that followed . "

" . . . The lights that followed?"

"It's those lights that poured down towns all over the world after the demise of monsters . It caused a huge uproar due to the dead of many . "

The light following monsters' demise . . . ?

Ah, he means [Eyes of Heaven] huh .

I made that magic to only hit demons though . . . Don't tell me someone got caught in it?

"What kind of people died?"

"Well . . . The casualties were all demons that were disguising as humans . Everyone is in uproar once they realized that demons had slipped in all over the places . "

So only demons died after all .

We'd beat any demon we came across to . . . But we've only been to an extremely small percentage of towns that are in this world .

There must have been many demons that were still lurking in towns all over the world then .

Guess things are in chaos cause they were purged all at once .

. . . I said all and all, but demons above middle rank are still around .

"None of the ordinary populace fell victim then?"

"Yes . I haven't received any report of anyone other than demon dying . . . Truly a mysterious light that was . "

Grevil muttered with a completely flat look on his face .

Naturally, he would know about [Eyes of Heaven] .

"Have you gathered any lead from the dead demons?"

[Eyes of Heaven] abruptly fell down and deprived demons of their life without giving them any chance to even process it .

In other words, they had no time to hide information .

"Lead . . . You mean like from doc.u.ments and stuff?"

"Yeah . We might be able to figure out their movements if we found some sort of doc.u.ments . "

Demons are fundamentally a race that doesn't keep doc.u.ments . . . But they do and have used paper to transmit information in some occasions .

To communicate between places too far away to do with magic, to send a huge amount of data, and to impart something that absolutely needs be pa.s.sed down for when they die . . . Those such cases .

The last case in particular usually has the stuff encrypted with code, so you can't read it just like that .

"We have received a few bundles of doc.u.ments . . . But they're in a language I don't know . And none of First and Second Academy teachers could decipher it either . "

Language Grevil doesn't know huh . . .

As a member of royalty, Grevil received a very high level of education in language even by previous era standard .

There were around 30 kinds of languages in the era I lived back then .

The languages in this era are covered by Second Academy's teachers .

Royal Magic Academies are top cla.s.s educational inst.i.tutions even in linguistics .

Which means . . .

"It's been encoded huh?"

"That might be the case . "
