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 assume 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 massive amount of materials for free, the town is in a slight festive mood right now . "
Festive mood huh .
Come to think of it, there was a lot of clatter in the town on our way here .
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 assume 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 documents and stuff?"
"Yeah . We might be able to figure out their movements if we found some sort of documents . "
Demons are fundamentally a race that doesn't keep documents . . . 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 passed 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 documents . . . 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 class educational institutions even in linguistics .
Which means . . .
"It's been encoded huh?"
"That might be the case . "
