Ray and his colleagues tried to leave the lab where they were mysterious but undoubtedly more powerful than they were, but at that moment their voices rang through Ray's head and Elena's movements stopped.

'He who has a Gryphon with him, I have something to ask him,'
"...what have you done to the others?"

　Seeing Ver stop moving with one foot floating in the air to take a step forward, Ray asks the Lord of the Voice, judging that it extends to all four except himself and Seto.

"Why, I was careful not to hear that.I don't mean to say that I paralyzed them, but that I stopped them for a while.'
"Stop the time?"

　Ray asks back at that remark without thinking nothing.
　Even in the present situation, they are shown the space magic of creating a space behind the dungeon, and the spirit magic of manipulating the undead.Moreover, when he was told that he could also use space-time magic, he could not help but be dumbfounded as Ray could only use the magic of fire magic.

"It's not that difficult.Now, what he would like to ask is about the Gryphon that the Lord has with him.'
"It may be unusual to see an adventurer with a Gryphon,"

　As soon as I answered, laughter rang through my head.

'Hahaha, there's nothing to hide.Isn't that the Gryphon a regular monster?'
"...what are you talking about?"

　There was a moment before he could react to the suddenness, and that was enough for the voice to be it.

"Well, do you remember the name Zepyle?"
「……」

　Rey's thoughts are fixed this time when he answers the question, which he has mentioned with some respectfully.
　Zepail. Not because I didn't know the name.On the contrary, it was because I had too many memories.
　Yes. The name is the name of the person who drew his soul to this world when he died in Japan and gave him the body as Ray.
　And if what I read in the library is true, the name of the world's highest magician who lived thousands of years ago.
　How did the Lord of this voice know that?He spoke with that in mind.

"How do you know the name?"
"'Luck, again... I mean, I can't believe we can see the art of the beast in this age.No, it's fun and exciting.It's called the woman I mentioned, and it's called the master.It's a very pleasant day.'

(Do you know the art of the beast?)

　In front of Ray's eyes is Seto shaking against the aisle wall.
　He was so capable that Seto was frightened, and he even knew the name of the art of the beast.Ray opens his mouth without realizing the fact.

"Who are you...?"
"Well, that's right.If you would tell me what kind of man he is, I would be willing to answer him. . . . What shall I do?"

　Ray is thoughtful, with his voice echoing in his head.

(What do you think of me as a person, or a person who has his own lab in a dungeon, as a whole, and who has his or her own lab, as an experimental animal...?) No, considering the way he or she mentioned Zepyle's name just now, it's like he or she has feelings of respect and respect for Zepyle.Is there no problem, then? I should like to collect at least that information for the Lord of this voice.)I really want to know about myself, Zepyle, and anyone who knows the name of the magic that would have disappeared in a lifetime.It was the same in the sense of defense, but also in the sense of purely Ray's intellectual curiosity.

"That's all right, then I'll talk about myself, so tell me exactly."
"Well, that's all right,"

　Ray opens his mouth when he hears that the voice's owner has indeed accepted his words.To reveal my background for the first time in this world.

"I was not born in this world.Unlike here, they were ordinary people born and raised in a world where there were no magic or magic, or dungeons or monsters.but he was killed in a minor accident.Zepyle drew my soul, which would have disappeared as it was."
'...what time was it?'
"It hasn't been a few months,"
"Oh, my God. So did his son survive the last few thousand years?"

　He shook his head in a voice that was dumbfounded.

"Not exactly.It seems that Zepail's body had already decayed.It seems that he was looking for a soul that was on the same wavelength as himself at the boundary of the world, in what could be described as a kind of spiritual creature.And I fell for it, and as you knew, it was too bad to lose the magic of the Zepail family, so you gave me a new body and reborn me in this world.and the set of Gryphons there is certainly a kind of artificial creature, as you guessed."

　To be exact, it's true that Seto and Death Size were created by witchcraft, but Ray doesn't say anything about Death Size because he doesn't think they need to talk about the advantages that they don't notice.

"Well, I see.I wonder if he could not live for more than a few thousand years even with his kindness."

　Then Ray asked, as he muttered softly.

"Well, I told you about me.I want you to tell me your background next time.How do you know Zepyle, now even called a witch?"

　Ray asked, but he was half-expected from what he had said to the voice.and the Lord of the Voice affirms his expectation.

'Well, promise is promise.First of all, it's easy for him to know Zepyle.simply because he knew Zepyle in his lifetime.'

　When Ray hears these words, he is convinced that and why?
　Ray inherited Zepail's knowledge, but his memory did not remember him as the Lord of this voice.
　After seeing Ray's behavior, he must have understood what he was like that.The Lord laughs in a subdued voice.

"He knew Mr. Zepyle, but Mr. Zepyle didn't know Mr. Zepyle didn't he?who knew Zepyle, who was known as the greatest magician of his time, unilaterally.'

(I see, it's like you know idols on TV one-sidedly.)

　He nods to the Lord's words in his voice, and urges him to move on.

"Because in those days when Zepyle lived, there were as many geniuses as I could imagine.for if only one magician had been in those days, he would have been treated as an unparalleled genius.Now that I think about it, it was the golden age of the magician.'
"... I see.You were one of those geniuses."
"Well, in this day and age he was so talented as to be called a great genius, but after all, in those days he was no better than he was. So even though he knew Zepyle, Zepyle didn't know him.He was such a genius that the Zepyle family, formed of the geniuses among them, could never have been."

　The Lord muttered as if he were demeaning, but the voice that echoed in his head made him feel somewhat nostalgic.

"And you're still alive because you lived a few thousand years ago..."
"Well, you've got a clue now, haven't you?"

　Ray nods to the Lord's words.for he had spoken to Elena and Ver and others about the possibility of their presence in this labyrinth.

"Rich"."That's right, as you might expect, to be chosen as Zepyle's master.Yes, he was, as I said, a genius of the highest order.I performed a ceremony to reincarnate myself as rich.'
"... Rich who has lived for thousands of years.I think it's more of a rich road than a rich road."
"'HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahI'll call myself so from now on.'

　The laughter echoes through Ray's mind, but he has actually survived millennia, and he has been studying witchcraft in the meantime.That ability is definitely worthy of being called Rich Road.

(No, not so much Lord as the King of the Dead, or the Emperor.Rich King or Rich Emperor might be more appropriate.)

　Thinking this way, a fist-sized crystal ball floats through the air and falls into Ray's hands.

"What about this?"
'It's a little present for the successor to Zepyle.It's a magic item called a pair of obes.If you call him, he will be able to connect with the oven that he has."

(Can I think it's like a cell phone? Is it true that it's not a problem?)

"If you would give it to me, I'd like to have it... why are you so kind?"
'As I have said, Mr. Zepyle was in a position where even his back could not be seen, no matter how much he pursued.Even now, after thousands of years of study, I honestly don't think I've caught up with them.I have met such a successor to Zepyle, and I wish to cherish that relationship."
"One term, one meeting?"
"What, then?"
"It's like a proverb in my world.It means to think that we only meet once in a lifetime, and to cherish that relationship."
"Well, it's a very good word for you and your husband....one meeting in one term.Well, then, it would be rude not to show the appearance of the ladder.I'm going to show up now, but don't relax.'

　The Lord of the Voice warned so, and Sole appeared in the air before him.And as soon as Ray sees it, a lot of cold sweat comes out of his back.
　I was assured by Zepyle that I could say with confidence that I was better at magic, but I knew instinctively that as soon as I saw what was in front of me, I would lose consciousness.It seemed to Ray that as soon as he heard this voice, he was so frightened because he knew instinctively how much he was in front of him.
　It was a very simple rich person.The skeleton was wearing a robe, and a magic wand was held in his hand.and he wore something like a crown on his skull.That's all.However, the only thing Ray felt was the concept of "death" when he saw it.

'Huh? Is that too much of a stimulus?-- how about this?'

　As Rich muttered, the feeling of oppression, though gradually, disappeared from the feeling of oppression felt in front of him.and a few seconds later Ray was also barely able to move.

"Well, I wonder if I can move on now.What a succession to Zepyle.'

　A complimentary voice echoed through Ray's mind, but he only smiled bitterly at the praise.

(Sett is a rank A Gryphon...so if you were to apply monster rank to this rich, would it be a rank S? No, it wouldn't fit that level....as expected of a rich man who lived for thousands of years.

"Shall I say hello again?Rich, whom 儂 had been talking to his master for some time... no, it's Grimm on Rich Road.My best regards, Mr. Zepyle's will."
"I'm Ray... I'm still studying, but someday I'd like to gain the strength to follow Zepyle's will."
"Well, don't neglect your training."

　Rich, who is floating in front of him, has no strange sense of hostility towards Ray himself.Rather, it has a rather friendly atmosphere.Ray understood that Rich, who identified himself as Grimm, was influenced by his longing for Zepyle.
　Then suddenly, Grimm's gaze turns to Seto, who is looking anxiously at Ray, even though he is frightened in a corner of the wall.As soon as he learns that his eyes have been turned to him, he shakes with fear and takes a step to protect his favorite partner Ray.

"Why, young as you are, do you stand up to the yoke?That's wonderful. Ray, you've been born with the magic of your lord, and his potential seems to be bottomless. ... But as I said, he's still a young beast.It will take some time to study in order to demonstrate its true value as a sorcerer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The greatest strength of the art of sorcery is the speed of growth and the acquisition of various skills.I'm looking forward to seeing how much power you'll get the next time you see me.Well, I think it's about time for 儂 to leave now.I look like this, and I'm busy with all kinds of things.'

　he said, and his body gradually thinned out. ... A few seconds later, Grimm was nowhere to be seen.

'Ray, and Seto.I was full of good encounters with the woman I had just mentioned.I'll see you again if I have a chance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　I'll leave those words.
　Then, the moment the Grimm disappears, the Elenas, who had stopped working until now, start to move again.

"Ray, what's wrong with you, Mr. Elena? I'm going downstairs."

　Ver calls out to Ray, who was staring at the place where Grimm disappeared.
　The voice brought him to his senses, and after storing the pair of oves in the mistling, he hurried the set and went straight up to the stairs.
　with Elena, who seemed to be thinking something seriously.
