Chapter 178
Chapter 178
This life can be said to be a series of truly amazing things.
It’s to the point where I want to tell the past me, who was whining about why there’s no flying fish sword just a few days ago, to be more patient.
When Cheryl, who judged that the story had no choice but to be long due to the atmosphere, tried to leave to ask Esmuier for his understanding, Mr. Widra lightly raised his hand to stop it.
“It’s already been 6 years late, so there’s no need to hurry because of a day or two. Priority should be given to passengers.”
Mr. Widra, who smiles with a face full of emotions, doesn’t seem to have changed at all compared to 10 years ago. After all, if you become a wizard, is there a way to slow down aging? Maybe Radnell Vandes is older than he looks.
Even after such a long time had passed, it was very touching to see him remembering the past promise and trying to fulfill it, but somehow he caught on to what he just said.
If you dare to mention dragons and demons… you must mean that you know that I use magical powers, right?
“You’ve worked so hard. You can’t even compare it to when you were young.”
The blue light that could be seen at a glance as if it was using magic seemed to give a rough explanation.
“Um. Sogaju. I’m sorry to ask you for such a sudden visit, but can we wait until the story is over?”
“Of course. Jenny? Let me guide you to the Legneva court mage.”
Jenny’s complexion seemed to be getting paler, who was tensed up behind her, but she turned away for now and went back to her room to take care of Esmuer.
When I succinctly summarized the situation just before and told her, a fairly simple reaction came back with a laugh.
“It’s okay to open, so finish talking with him and come back.”
“huh?”
“What are you so surprised about? You never mistake the priority of opening. It would be nice if you could just sing Ogatorp’s Sogaju again before you go. There are still things to talk about and we need to ask for your understanding.”
Just in case, I checked to see if there was any dissatisfaction in the smile that lingered on my lips, but instead, I was punched by a hamster, asking if I considered myself a small person.
“Withra Legneva is a famous wizard who has had many exchanges with the Empire. Before the war, he devoted himself to the development of the sorcery, and after that, he devoted himself to understanding and exploring the demons in order to win the war. Such a wizard is your Not only are you aware of the situation, but you’ve already been prepared to become a priest from a long time ago, so how can you postpone it?”
It must have been that he made time to visit in the midst of his busy schedule, but such sophisticated consideration. This is the dignity of a princess. This time, I was overflowing with questions, so I accepted Esmuer’s favor without hesitation.
It is a situation where I met someone who might have academic knowledge in a field that she had been enduring by relying purely on intuition without any knowledge. Considering the road ahead, it is not easy to accept this kind of genius opportunity.
After conveying this and that story, Mr. Widra, who was looking at me with an expression full of questions as he entered the guest room after being guided by Jenny again, opened his mouth as soon as Jenny left the door.
“Does the princess know that you use magic?”
“Uh……”
The moment of being speechless turned into an answer to his question. Did you learn mind reading?
“How…”
“How can you say, I’m having an interview with the princess of the empire, and no matter how urgently I consider this matter, how can I come so quickly?”
I didn’t even think about it. Did you hear it?
uh? really? I don’t know, but Esmu didn’t expect this? Do you feel that this is full of selfish intentions?
“Don’t worry. What kind of relationship you have with the princess is so important. There’s nothing to say anywhere, so don’t worry.”
While talking as if it was not a big deal, he sat down shyly while looking at Mr. Weedra, who reached out his hand to the other side.
Although he is showing an infinitely calm attitude, Mr. Widra also seemed to be struggling to choose what to say right away.
“First of all, it seems like you already know how special a situation is to be able to use magic…”
“I’ve been hiding it hard.”
“It’s a wise decision. We’re at war with the demons right now. It’s not a matter that can be said carelessly in a situation where the support of those with a solid position is not firm.”
While nodding his head in agreement, Mr. Widra still looked at me with eyes shining blue.
“I don’t know where to start, but I think it’s right to ask your doctor first. Do you want to learn magic?”
“I’m full of doctors who want to learn, but… I have to tell you something in advance…”
The things I explained to Mr. Widra, who listened to me, were simple but essential things.
that they are preparing for revenge. He did not want to be bound by politics and duty, so he took the teachings of the Ogatorv family as an expedient. I want to learn magic, but it’s a situation where I have to think about it in many ways if it interferes with my plans.
Even though it was a content that I insisted on for my own convenience, Mr. Widra agreed very simply.
“I understand. As you go through life, there are bound to be knots that must be untied. I am not teaching you magic unilaterally, but I am a body that needs help, so I can fully consider it.”
“Is there any help I can offer?”
“Your existence itself is helpful. As far as I know, you are the only person on the continent who can use magical powers casually. Many of the hypotheses I have built up to now can be verified through you, so how can that be helpful?”
Again emphasizing that it means much more than I thought, Mr. Widra continued.
“But aside from that… I have no intention of ignoring the efforts you’ve made, but honestly, the strength of those fighting on the front lines is beyond the box. Have you ever encountered demons?”
“Yes. So I can understand what you are trying to say.”
“It’s fortunate in many ways. As you can guess by looking into my eyes, I’m in a state where I can examine the magic flowing through your body. You’re not particularly behind the demons… but there are so many who are clearly stronger than you. Of course, most of them are above a certain rank, so you won’t run into them easily, but it’s true that they’re dangerous.”
In the end, it’s a story that I’m not ready yet.
I didn’t feel bad. There is no way to know if you are stuck inland, so I tried to get information by jumping on my feet. Rather, the advice of the experienced is appreciated.
“Seeing you calmly listen to me puts my mind at ease. Don’t worry too much. Mana is different from Aura and Mana. Your current state is that you don’t know how to use mana efficiently, so you use it as a central heating system. We’ll have to wait and see for sure, but if you understand how to operate properly, results can come in an instant.”
I was truly impressed by Mr. Widra’s ability to pinpoint the wall I was feeling as if he had been watching it from the side.
“Neither I nor you. You can see that I didn’t waste the 10 years that were out of sync. You may be impatient, but trust me. We will spend time like walking in a fog, but we will definitely reach our goal. ”
Decided. Starting today, I will not only thank God with words, but will start by praying first.
In that resolution, I decided to receive Mr. Widra’s teachings without hesitation.
There wasn’t much to talk about right away, so after a short conversation, Mr. Widra hurriedly prepared to leave.
“I’ll be the first to contact you. It’s embarrassing, but I’ve been through a lot in the past. It takes a little time to create an environment where I can properly teach you. But I won’t exceed a week.”
“Thank you for your consideration. Wedra-nim.”
“Hmmm. Next time, I’ll come as a teacher.”
Putting on the hood again, Mr. Widra left the mansion with a smile on his lips.
And Cheryl, who overheard our last conversation in the process of seeing him off to fulfill her duty as Sogaju, looked at me with a questioning gaze and asked.
“Teaching? Master? Really?”
“Your vocabulary has seriously deteriorated, Lord Soga.”
Cheryl furrowed her brow as she dodged the kick that came to her shin like lightning.
“What the hell is going on? Did you know the Legneva Court Wizard?”
“Uh… I didn’t even know he was a court wizard, but we met when our village was still fine.”
Because I brought up the story, the scenery of the town that had been fine for a long time was drawn in my head. friendly neighbors. fun kids. reconciled parents.
These were memories that I usually deliberately avoided, but I did not expect that they would come to mind clearly without fading.
“Whoa. Now I finally thought that Ragnis’ affairs had been sorted out, but suddenly the court mage came in, and the princess of the empire said she was staying overnight. I hope my father returns soon.”
“…The princess is staying overnight?”
“Yeah. Because you’ve been quite a big help in your innocence this time. He said that you need to share information as soon as possible so that there are no gaps. He cares about you so much and gives you time, but I can’t refuse.”
Cheryl…! If you’re bored every day, you try to use violence, but as expected, the affection in the meantime doesn’t go anywhere!
But sorry!
Everything Esmuer said must be an excuse…!
