Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 569 A night with Moon

Chapter 569  A night with Moon

[OP: ]

"If you can, your majesty, I request you to restrict the entrance of any creature or person in the northwestern outskirts area for tomorrow."

His request was simple and he was smiling humbly, however his request, though surprising, picked up the interest of the queen.

{ "You mean the territory of Chise, right? I did hear that Lin sold that place to some capable people, but to think it was the honored guests of the great father? What a surprise indeed." }

She really was surprised. The Chise person, or more appropriately 'being', she was talking about was also a queen like her, and also a (Purple) ranked creature that ruled the northern and western outskirts of this grand island.

There had been many talks about the flamingo queen among adventurers, however, not many had ever seen that creature. But, as a queen, she surely knew the existence of a being of the same or maybe greater power than hers.

The rainbow flamingo queen was even older than her, after all. And though they had met only on certain occasions and did not have any deeper relationship, she knew if this person was going to claim a part of the territory of that old lady, then he would surely have something up his sleeves.

"It is nothing great, your majesty. I only wish to build a home there, and the queen of northwestern skies would surely not mind some little human like us, right?"

He was speaking politely and one can feel the lack of hesitation or fear in that voice. And his smile added more flavor to his words.

{ "Hahaha. You sure know how to speak, young one. Alright, there's no harm blocking the people and creatures there, not like you will be meeting with the old queen anyways.

That shall not be of any concern, so, what else do you want?" }

Her question was aimed at the 'thing' that anyone who understood the value of standing before her like this could understand.

If a smart person like him was here, one that knew so much about their kind that he even gifted her their most treasured flower and its seeds, then he would also know what the greatest thing one can ask from a queen like her was.

"Nothing, your majesty. That is all I ask, for now."

But he only smiled again and bowed before her. And… this much was enough for her to understand this smart bastard knew the meaning and the consequences of being too straightforward about that thing.

{ "Alright then. Would you two like to join me for a meal? We can have a good talk over there." }

And at her invitation, a unique smile appeared on Eon's face that only Rein knew the meaning of.

A meal was something that could bring people close, too close in some cases but this one wasn't going to be one of them or, it could break people apart, and this one also not going to be one of them.

It would be a healthy meal where her darling Eon would present some of his own delicacies that he specially prepared for the queen, and then, well, the story will roll as it should.

There was not much left to see here. They were going to dine, chat about the seeds Eon gifted her, talk about the bees and how he had such deep knowledge about her kind, and then… they would go home.

So, let's go home too.

***

-Swish.

The island of magic's wealth was a vast structure suspended very high in the sky.

-Ooooooong!

Home to many magicians, and important people that wants to live freely without belonging anywhere, as well as a central educational organization, the grand academy of Hope.

But, aside from them, this place also had many houses, residencies, and mansions of important and rich nobles from all over the world.

-Swish. Swish. Swish. Swish.

One such resident was of the Heliox family, situated not far from the academy but also not near the big places like the Adventurer's Association or the magic towers.

-Oooooooong-Pam! Pam! Pam!

And at this nighttime, just as every day, there were noises of spells being materialized and swords slashing them, or other swords, or the air, or sometimes also intruders.

But there were no intruders there today. Only Carla and Alf were practicing like always.

She was slashing his spells with her special sword without using Aura and just by the sheer strength of her swings she produced enough energy to destroy the core of his spells.

The sword in her hand, the unique longsword that she got from her dear little brother, had the power to cut spells, an anti-magic sword.

It was an amazing weapon but she mostly only used it to increase her understanding of magic and how she can deal with strong magicians when she couldn't use any kind of weapon or her Aura.

It was their special training and Alf was learning how to fight against an opponent that can cut his spells like this.

They were doing their routine thing, and watching them from a window of the house, a lady in a maid outfit, with black hair and blue eyes covered by glasses, an attractive face, but frail-looking physique, couldn't help her admiration.

"If these two practices like this, how do the master and his lady do this thing called 'training'?

And if this is training, how do they even do the thing Lady Zoe calls their amazing 'duels'?"

She was asking questions, she was new in this place, in this family, so her curiosity and surprise were obvious to her current mentor.

"They are naturally amazing. Their training, their duels, even the way they do the special personal classes among each other and teach others what they can do the best. Just seeing them reminds me how old I have become."

An old voice, but without any hint of the weakness of old age.

"You will get the chance to see that soon too, I guess?"

He was also looking out of the window, a smile on his normal face, his dark blue eyes shining under the moonlight as he nodded at the Moon beside him.

"I'm looking forward to it."

She smiled. The new maid of Heliox, and their master Eon's first direct aid, smiled excitedly as she thought about the moment she will be able to actually witness the power of the people that defeated her without using probably even half of their power.

"You should look forward to it. You won't be the only one to see them practice or duel for the first time when we go back to the ground."

He was smiling, but as always, he admired his master Eon as much as his own master.

He was the only person he knew that had survived and came back from a forbidden area, with new strength, new secrets, and new wounds.

The head butler, the right-hand man of knight king Sir Golden And he also knew that he already knew about this 'wish' of his. But, his old and experienced self knew the young person already had hammer, already knew his master Eon had what he required to fulfill his wish.

And he also knew that he already knew about this 'wish' of his. But, his old and experienced self knew the young person already had many other wishes to grant and prepare for something so grand that even he couldn't fathom it.

So, he was in no hurry. Despite his increasing age, he still had a happy long time ahead of him.

"Sir Zhen? Lady Uriel, I understand she is a witch and far older than her look, but why do I feel like even master is far older than how he looks?"

Her eyes were still stuck on the two that practiced with their magic and sword, there was also another young person practicing his rapier on the other side of their garden, but he wasn't doing anything there, at least, she can't see him lift his sword so, from her point of view, he was just doing form and breathing training today, just like every other day she had seen him.

Her Lady Zoe was probably the most normal of the bunch, and she must be in her room doing her homework so from her perspective, she was the most normal person here… which will change tomorrow when they go to the outskirts for 'site seeing'.

"Master Eon has always been that way. Far mature for his age, possessing understanding like no other child.

Well, young master Alfred and young lady Carla are prodigies of their field, world-renowned for what they do from a young age, however, master Eon has always been different.

He awakened his Mana nucleons when he was very young and started practicing archery around that same time. And-"

"Wait! Archery? He's professionally an archer too?"

This was probably her first time hearing this from him. She had heard rumors that he used a bow but even after witnessing all his magical abilities, she hadn't seen him use any weapons so this came as a little surprise.

"You never knew? Well… that's expected. It hasn't even been two days since you have recovered.

Well, you will learn new things with time. So don't worry about things too much if you do not know about them. Just ask right away like right now.

But, yes. He's an archer. A magic archer, more precisely.

And, he's some of the best I have ever seen, some of the best even sir Merlin and my master have ever come across.

But that isn't all.

He is a chef acknowledged by her majesty, Madeline. He's a magic engineer, a language and ruin master, a potion expert, a master enchanter, an unparalleled businessman, and much more.

Miss Moon. He's special. You will find out more since you will be by his side personally."

He smiled at her with warmth, confidence, and admiration behind it. And even though she could clearly see it, it only made her more curious about something.

"I already know that he's special… but, what could be the reason he saved someone like me? What is it that I don't know about myself?"

She looked straight into his dark blue eyes, and the old grandpa with white hair covered his smile as if her question was funny.

"You are special too, Miss Moon. He must have seen it as soon as he saw you, just like he always does."

He shook his head and sighed while looking at her with a smile.

He had lived a long enough life to meet multiple people that didn't know about their own talents, their own great potentials, the unknown powers that someone like him could see even without skills like his master's.

His young masters were different in that aspect, even his master Eon was different in that aspect.

They all knew the things they were good at, though their little Cherry was different.

He was a normal child that didn't know about his skills and strengths, but thanks to his master Eon, he also learned about those powers relatively early.

He was young, on the other hand, many people become as old as him or even die of old age without finding that one gift that they were born with.

The lady before him was the same.

She was old. She had figured out some of her strengths and had developed them with hard work.

But, she still didn't know about the powers she was born with, the powers that few in the entire world possessed. The powers that made them different from any other normal mortal. The power that even he was seeing after decades.

"Haaa…"

He sighed again as he looked at her, at her curious face, and remembered the dumb young boy that wasted his own precious life for a worthless person like him.

"So Miss Moon. How much do you know about a [Magus]?"

He was smiling at her warmly, but his question had already created a storm in her eyes, mind, and heart…
