Chapter 176
Chapter 176
Perhaps it was quite a surprise, it took more time than expected for Esmuer to calm down and properly examine the sword floating in front of him.
“Oh, you’re not kidding me by picking up an artifact, are you?”
“You seem to be saying something that could be misunderstood as a third-rate magician, Princess.”
It’s as absurd as saying that someone picked up a spilled demon sword. Rather, the magic sword is more realistic.
Of course, Esmuer himself was well aware of how absurd he was talking about, but apart from that, the hamzzi punches and fights did not stop. Still, like a person who has learned magic, he seems to have understood the situation at once.
“Oh my God. How could you do this if you really can’t feel anything? What about your body? Is there really nothing wrong with your body?”
“About…5 years old? Was it around? I’ve been practicing since then and I’ve been using it until now, but it’s fine. Rather, I’ve been using it more and more, but I’ve learned how to use it, and I’ve come to be able to fine-tune the adjustments.”
“Um, Asilie probably didn’t neglect that something was wrong with your body. But, it’s surprising that it’s surprising.”
Even though we had only talked a few times, Esmuer seemed to have a fairly accurate understanding of Asillier.
“It is said that you can withstand magical power… But then, how does your power grow? Aura and mana gradually increase in purity during the refining process and go up through the process of creating a body that can accept them, but you do not. Isn’t it not that bad? But to say that it handles magic completely…”
“It’s weak.”
“Whoops. Yes. It’s a ridiculous expression, but it’s true.”
I was stabbed by Envelde right away, so what more do I need to say?
“To put it bluntly… Skilled mages spread their protection magic over several stages.”
“Um. Um.”
“I’m just wearing a very strong protection spell. Aura users either wear a few weak protection spells, or they wear a solid one, depending on their level.”
“And if you destroy the protection magic first, you win… but your protection magic is very strong?”
“That’s right. There might be a possibility of casting something stronger than that protection magic, and there might be a way to layer it. Right now, there’s only one thing I can do. But isn’t the efficiency even good?”
Since there is a leak in the process of using power, even if you wield a sword properly, it is a relatively ordinary attack to be called a person who uses magic. Of course, compared to Aurors, that would seem like a huge achievement, but compared to the example of demons, there is no choice but to be far away.
“It’s hard to understand because it’s a realm that has no ties to mankind. But I feel like I can understand it…” ”
I can’t express anything else either. I don’t even have a teacher.”
Exactly, there was. A wizard I met as a child. Even though I only learned to feel magical power, if it wasn’t for that, I would have died right away, so I can’t deny that he is a teacher.
What do you want to do for a living now? You seem like an adventurer, but I don’t know if I’ll meet you someday.
Esmuer, who had been pondering while resting his chin on his chin for a while, nodded as if he understood.
“Even so, all of the women’s bodyguards had doubts about your skills, so there was a secret like this.”
“Huh? Did you?”
“Hmm. When we didn’t talk to each other, they thought their eyes were still lacking, but when we talked together, they all reported that they had misjudged your skill. I don’t know about the others, but it’s possible that all of the women’s bodyguards were like that. It’s impossible, so I classified it as a fairly important issue and was reviewing it.”
It’s a great confidence… but I’m going to have a good time. I heard that the demon who attacked the academy at that time was also almost completely killed when I heard the story. It’s not Mane’s problem to let go of Daguri, because he was in a hurry to block it.
“It’s a blind spot. I can’t see any way to help.”
“It’s a problem I’ll solve somehow, so don’t worry too much about it. Anyway, for that reason, I’m grateful for Esmuer’s proposal, but I can’t accept it.”
“So that’s why you didn’t go through the official knight course while you were in the Ogatorv family?”
“Well, that’s a reason, too. It was because I didn’t want to be constrained in my actions.”
There is a lot to learn to become an official knight.
It’s nice to have a lot to learn, but excessive court manners and playing musical instruments cross the line. What do I use the 60 desirable attitudes for treating my lord as a servant?
Even in the advanced course, how to treat the master as a knight, how to treat the lady, and how to be polite to the enemy, there is no such thing as a great party. It’s not like I can choose to learn swordsmanship and strategy tactics just like applying for college classes, and it’s just a bonus that the proportion of time unnecessarily being attracted to others increases dramatically.
After learning all that and becoming a knight? Since he received the help of the Ogatorf family unilaterally, there are many things to repay, and the country uses it as it is.
Nurturing a knight is not free and takes a long time, so it is a natural result, but from my point of view, there are more losses than benefits, so I just avoided it.
“Anyway, even if I receive swordsmanship directly from Sir Ekaf based on my skills, I will not gain enlightenment, and since I received the sergeant, I will only have responsibilities and duties. It would be beneficial to split up and do at least one more adventurer job.”
“…You really have no greed for power.”
“I’m not interested. Revenge comes first.”
“Aren’t you working hard on the common sense part as well?”
“Because I have no intention of giving up on my life after taking revenge. Isn’t it natural that the world is not ignorant and living only on strength?”
After I finish my revenge and achieve my purpose, I will enjoy my natural life for this time. certainly.
In order to do that, of course it’s good to have a lot of friendly neighbors, right?
“You’re a person I know, but I don’t know. Looking at your actions, you seem to have a truly chaebol-like idea, but what you actually say is royal and royal.”
“…I’m not sure what you mean.”
“This is what a scholar named Trisp Lichkaet argued. To put it simply, if authority is obtained through respect, it is the royal road.
Eh? That’s a complete blind man…
“Well, that’s attractive, so it’s okay.”
Again, you casually spit out embarrassing words. Isn’t this a normal male role? I’m going crazy. Really.
Embarrassed to react to something, I quietly put the sword that was still floating in the air back into the scabbard, and someone knocked on the door along with the sound of urgent footsteps in the hallway.
-Degrading the princess. I’m sorry in the middle of my talk, but I’d like to ask if I can take Eldmia for a while.-
“You seem pretty urgent, but did something happen?”
Contrary to his relaxed voice, it was Esmuer, who had a sullen expression as if he was not at all inclined.
-Because the court mage came to see me about something related to the former Count of Enbelde…-
“…Then we should cooperate. I understand.”
“…Then I’ll be gone for a while.”
Are you a court wizard?
Are you doing advanced magic investigations? Even though she put on a dumbfounded expression at the unexpected visit, the maid with a familiar face let out a small sigh of relief when she got up and went outside.
Jenny, one of the few maids of the same age in the mansion, must have been anxious about what to do if Esmuer refused.
“I really don’t know how many times I have to be nervous today.”
“I’m sorry about this.”
“If you know anything!”
slap! I was hit on the arm, but I couldn’t help but laugh, so I apologized appropriately and this time I was escorted to the main hall.
“Have you heard the wizard’s name?”
“Ah, what did he say? I’m sure I heard it…”
“Calm down. Why are you so anxious when you haven’t committed any crimes?”
“You must be really strange somewhere. How are you so calm after seeing the princess?”
There is a secret that cannot be told… A heavy secret that cannot be told to an adolescent girl with a mouth.
“I’m another countess’s neck.”
“…Well, it’s not a normal pulpit from the beginning.”
Jenny shook her head as if she was tired of it, but she clapped her hands right away as if her tension had eased a little.
“Ah! That’s right. Legneva! He said Widra Legneva!”
“…isn’t the name very unusual…?”
“…Is that so? I’m not sure.”
I think the pronunciation is as unique as Rainera, the last name of Duke Lesrom, but is it just me?
“Did he also have a lot of muscles or something?”
“Uh…no? You’re just ordinary.”
It seems that not all high-ranking mages are muscular enough to look like warriors. Come to think of it, even the handsome and unlucky handsome man of the empire was a skilled wizard as Asilie said, but he was slim.
When I arrived at the hall with such nonsensical thoughts, Cheryl, who was always wide-eyed at a sudden encounter with a high-ranking official, was accompanied by someone wearing a hooded hood.
I approached with admiration that even though it was only a robe and hood, depending on the design, it could look so luxurious, and Cheryl, who came to her senses as if she had seen a savior, introduced me to the other person.
“Eldmia. This is Widra Legneva, one of the court mages. She said she wanted to talk about something that happened at the former Count Enbelde’s mansion, so she came with permission from the Duke of Rainera.”
“It’s an honor to meet you, Legneva Court Wizard. My name is Eldmia Ega.”
“…Go to Eldmia?”
“Yes, it is.”
“A survivor of the village west of Ogwen. Is that right?”
He politely bowed his head in greeting, then tilted his head and slowly raised his gaze. you know me there?
“Yes, but… how did you know?”
While he wondered if there was a reason to mention it even though he wondered if the royal family had investigated it, the sorcerer let out a long breath and slowly took off his hood and said.
“…Four years… it’s been 10 years.”
In an instant, I was overcome with shock as if lightning struck from the top of my head. When people get really shocked, they get dizzy. But I have to say something.
“Mister Wizard…?”
“okay.”
Eyes drooping as if they were depressed somewhere. On the contrary, the eyebrows slightly raised as if they were angry. And clear blue eyes.
What was revealed after removing the hood was the face of the wizard, who hadn’t changed at all, as if he had been taken out of my memory.
“Now I can keep my promise.”
