Mage Tower Meeting-2
The Mage Tower General Meeting begins at 11:00 am at the center of the top floor of the Mage Tower.
A small floating tower is floating in the center of the four colored towers.
Originally, it was customary to check the sage’s heritage there as well. The legacy of several sages additionally found over the next four years was appraised there.
“…Then shouldn’t we be more prepared?”
After the autopsy of the corpse, Leo and Arya didn’t do anything in particular other than rampage in the Mage Tower.
It’s safe to say that we actually played. Since there was nothing practically prepared, the action was no different from ‘leisure’ in the end.
But there was no problem.
“You don’t have to.”
That was also Leonardo’s purpose.
Thanks to that eccentricity, proper information would not have been given to various high-ranking officials.
Aria may not have intended it, but as Leo intended, today’s newspaper was plastered with a duel between Leo and Aria.
Thanks to that, the smoke screen over the corpse was definitely progressed.
“But…”
“Then what are you preparing?”
Arya hesitated for a moment at the essential question, and then she quietly opened her mouth.
“…That’s right. I wonder if it’s just a question…”
After that, Arya opened her mouth as if she realized it.
“Oh, you have a lie detector necklace! It was made by the wise man!”
But Leo didn’t think of a way either. If it was possible to distinguish between truth and fact all-around, neither Leo nor Eileen would have had such a hard time.
“That’s not all-powerful either.”
It was true that the choker of truth and fact was useful.
Because it is useful for actual interrogation, it was the sage’s choker that was indispensable for magic executioners to bring with them when interrogating demons or warlocks.
However, such a choker of truth and facts has a fatal weakness.
“If you can perfectly control the flow of mana that comes out when you lie, that won’t work.”
The choker of truth and fact is to detect the wavelength of mana coming from the human brain to determine whether it is true or not.
The minute wavelength is detected with an external device and the rapid change is calculated to determine whether it is a lie or the truth.
The degree of lies is judged according to the intensity of the light that follows. The greater the degree of deceit, the greater the change in wavelength, making it easier to discriminate.
“…Is there someone controlling it?”
“If it’s theoretically possible, it’s because magicians make it come true.”
It was a fact I found out when I had beaten and interrogated some demons and warlocks.
From the point of view that all the testimonies given after the beatings became lies, it was as if it had been revealed that the choker of truth and facts was not omnipotent.
If mana is controlled by supercalculation and the frequency of brain waves is adjusted, it is possible to completely hide lies, and it is possible to intercept and cut off telepathy without being caught.
“And if you are a mage tower master, you can do it.”
As a matter of fact, Eileen is at the same level as the Master of the Magic Tower, so Eileen demonstrated how to successfully lie by avoiding the detection of the Choker.
Since that experiment, the proportion of interrogation using chokers has decreased significantly, and opinions have begun to abolish it altogether.
“That doesn’t mean it’s useless, though.”
If you use it abruptly, you can distinguish one or two lies, and it’s good enough for normal people or people with weak mana control.
And it will come in handy, at least in the current situation.
Because it’s a hidden card to be used in this Mage Tower meeting.
“But Leo.”
Aria, who had been waiting for the tower masters to arrive, cut off Leo’s story as if in doubt.
I knew the story was serious, but it was a question I couldn’t help but ask.
[Why are you talking respectfully?]
As he quietly grabbed Leo’s hand, Ariasviel quietly asked a question. It might have been familiar if it was just holding on, but putting on each other’s calluses to rub each other’s calluses was a great stimulus to Leo.
“…That’s…”
[Ah…Since it’s a place with a lot of people…? There’s nothing wrong with being careful.]
I was barely able to answer with an aura instead of words that almost came out in vain.
Leo couldn’t look at Arya properly even before the pods were worn.
Without much guessing, I could be sure that it was caused by a dream I had last night.
‘…Why did I have such a dream…’
At this age, it was an untimely choice.
No matter how Arya was her friend before her return, her mental age is that of her own daughter’s daughter.
It was the most disgraceful thing for Leo to have such a voluptuous and lascivious dream like that of a hot-blooded child.
And the fact that he felt pleasure in that dream, every time he saw Aria, he chewed it over, and Leo’s feelings were unintentionally humiliated.
Today, that beautiful warrior lady had a mature s*xuality.
[Hmm… Really?]
As she answered that, Arya remembered what happened last night. As if intoxicated by her dreams, Arya indulged, coveted, and savored Leo.
“…That… That’s right…! I guess…!”
When she suddenly remembered that fact, Aria must have felt ashamed as well.
She naturally lost her hand with Leonardo. For Leonardo, whose heart seemed about to burst,
‘…But…’
I couldn’t hide my laughter. Now, as a lover, it was a step forward. The one who consumed Leo’s spirit would be the only one in her world, Arya herself.
“…hehehe…”
“Why are you laughing all of a sudden?”
“…Ah…Ha…”
Aria’s smile froze as soon as Rios appeared. Rios looked at their precious younger siblings with a grin, whether or not it was.
“Why are you suddenly straight? I feel sorry for you.”
“Sorry. Habitually.”
“…That’s too much. Is not it? Orb?”
The Orb that followed responded with a straight face instead of an answer. Even in the sunlight, cold eyes that would give you chills surrounded Rios.
“…That’s too much. Where did Ahin, who is on my side, go?”
Unfortunately, Ain wasn’t particularly on Rios’ side. The fact that Rios was only half aware of it made the tragedy stand out.
But Rios didn’t lose his beaming smile. It was because there was something sweet in front of him that he couldn’t lose.
“Did you sleep well~? Younger brothers?”
When he saw his newly born lover last night, Rios felt the taste of sugar as if soft whipped cream was filling his mouth.
“…Ah…Yes…What…”
“…That’s… That’s right… I had a good night’s sleep!”
Look at that reaction.
You couldn’t even look into each other’s eyes and that face turned red.
Perhaps if Lumine were here, he would have begged for blessings on the future of that beautiful lover.
But since there was no priest, Rios offered a cheer instead of a blessing.
“Kiya…! Just looking at it makes me full…”
“Shut up. Brother.”
“Please shut up. Mr. Rios.”
Even such a fresh expression was distorted in an instant thanks to Rios’ nonsense, but Rios still sincerely supported their pure love.
Of course, there was no guarantee that cheering would help.
“What about Mr. Amery? I thought you were with Rios-sama.”
Even though she usually waits tick-tick, Ameri was always by her side when Rios was around, no matter what happened.
Similarly, Rios also tried to travel with Ameri whenever possible on the days he was in the Mage Tower, so it was a rare sight to see them alone.
“…That I don’t know. I was supposed to look here, but I can’t see it.”
“Really? There’s no way Mr. Amery breaks his promise…”
It is rare for Amery to break a promise, so it was an anomaly that Leo had never experienced before.
Her manners, coupled with her timid disposition and her good personality, were thorough and obsessive.
“Oh hey… I’m sorry I’m late…!”
In the midst of only guessing, the protagonist of this conversation ran with a tired voice, exhaling unstable breath.
“Ameri~! Did you eat your morning coffee without caffeine? It’s late… Yes…”
Rios’ smirking tone didn’t last until the end. It was because Rios’ eyes reflected the smile of a man she really didn’t want to meet.
“…It’s been a while. Rios Reinhardt. Is it four years?”
The dark-skinned man, with dark golden hair and matching dark skin, brushed his chin and looked around gently.
The gaze flowing over the glasses created the sensation of a thin and long thread wrapping around the body.
It was an eye with a pulpit that let go of the guard, but on the other hand, the body was tense.
“…It’s been 5 years. Prince Regulus.”
Regulus Pendragon
He was not only the second prince of the imperial family, but also an outstanding mage who reached the 5th circle at the same time.
“I heard a rumor. I didn’t know that the hero would personally come to the Mage Tower.”
“Hello. Prince.”
Even to Arya, who is weak in politics, those words were a blatant lie. It was clear that he had come here on purpose to target the time when he was a warrior.
“Knight Leonardo, long time no see. Your treatise on native magic is interesting.”
“It is an honor. Prince Regulus.”
Leonardo, with a formal businesslike greeting, thought in his head.
‘…Appear now…’
You may be surprised because he came without warning, but there was nothing strange about it.
Although he did not belong to the Mage Tower, he was also an absolute wizard, and at the same time he was a man who inherited the blood of the imperial family who ruled the entire empire.
According to Reinhardt’s swaying gap, taking advantage was a sufficient action strategy.
‘…Because the imperial family has long wanted to subjugate Reinhardt.’
A war of nerves continued in the eyes of the man who inherited the blood of the hero and the man who inherited the blood of the imperial family, as if to show the air flow.
“You came without contact? Is there a reason for your sudden arrival?”
Unlike usual, Rios asked a question in a dry and venomous voice.
Rios, who showed composure and playfulness even to Eileen, was emitting a hostile atmosphere towards that prince.
“There was a festival at the Mage Tower, so I came here to try to participate. Your friend is familiar with the geography of this place and asked for guidance.”
With that said, Prince Regulus kissed Ameri’s hand briefly. His direction was towards his finger, which coincidentally had the sage’s ring on it.
“Thank you. American Wizard. Your reputation for discovering the sage’s legacy is even in the imperial family.”
It was obviously a compliment to a friend, but Rios’ expression was as sharp as ever.
“…W…It’s an honor…! Prince!”
“It is an honor on my part to be honored by a beautiful woman like you.”
Ameri responded with a clumsy smile, but she hurriedly ran to Rios’ side.
It wasn’t because she didn’t like that man, it was because Ameri, who had never dealt with such a high-ranking person often, chose to run away timidly.
[…My brother is strange. It’s weird at first, but… I think I’m a little angry.]
Arya held Leo’s collar behind her and secretly spoke to her. She was often strange, but it was extremely rare for Rios to show such a condition.
[Nothing strange. Because I instinctively reject it.]
[Instinct?]
Ariaspil had been in the temple for four years, so it was natural that he did not know. Besides, even if he is a socialite, he is not known through external information such as the media, so there will be no other way to know.
[My s*x life is promiscuous.]
Even Leonardo didn’t know the prince’s public affairs, but he didn’t have a very positive view of his private life.
[Even if you keep your manners, there are more than a dozen women hugging you from behind.]
[…Really…?]
Prince Regulus’ socialite nickname is an intelligent revelry.
He did not rape women by force, but it was his view of love that he did not dare to refuse women who came to him.
There were even rumors that he learned magic for contraception behind his back, so Rios couldn’t help but like him.
[Have you ever seen me save a princess before?]
Arya nodded her head slowly, at an angle and speed that the prince would not be able to see. Leo responded by vibrating his aura without changing his expression.
[It was because he was the nobleman’s illegitimate son.]
[…]
In the cool silence that passed for a while, Arya thought.
At this point, wouldn’t Leo be a genius as much as his mental power?
Otherwise, how is it possible to say hello in front of someone like that without changing a single color?
