Academy Genius Tamer Episode 229
“… … How far were you thinking?”
It is true that I summarized it in a comprehensive way, but the conclusion went to the mountain.
Looking at Han Si-ha, who was speechless as if in bewilderment, Adela realized that something was wrong.
‘Did I get it wrong?’
Adela closed her eyes and asked.
“Isn’t this?”
“not really.”
“ah.”
For a moment, there was silence in the barracks.
“… … .”
Adela rolled her eyes for a while and looked around, then added with a sullen expression.
It was a difficult problem, so I guessed… … .
This situation became more difficult.
Adela coughed, pretending nothing was wrong.
“Otherwise.”
sound.
Anyway, I’m glad
If it’s something I don’t want to talk about anyway, and there’s no way to find out, I’ve decided not to ask any further questions.
Adela’s eyes twinkled and she continued.
“I don’t know if he had me locked up in a corner for half a year to tell a clever lie… … If not, that’s fine. I do not care.”
It seems that Youn Ha-eul, who was silently listening to the story from behind, smashed the fork she was holding at the apple, but
Instead of paying attention to Youn Ha-eul, Adela stared at Han Si-ha.
I feel like I’ll be kicked out if I’m too lazy, so I’ll start with the most important words.
“So, send me here too. The countryside is boring.”
“Is that the conclusion?”
“yes. I live only in the capital, so I can’t get used to the countryside.”
“Being from a mountain village.”
“… … Isn’t that very disrespectful to me?”
“It’s not normal for you to fight in the Castilian Territory.”
Han Shi-ha smiled bitterly, not losing a single word at Adela’s words.
I struggled for 6 months trying to avoid it somehow.
I can’t seem to escape anymore.
Because I couldn’t send Adela back who came all the way here saying it was okay for whatever reason.
‘I’m not okay.’
Hanshiha smiled bitterly and shook her head.
* * *
It was half a year ago.
The meaningless war with no justification had been going on for over two years, and the empire was holding out, unexpectedly.
Marcel was a fairly decent monarch to the extent that the absence of Emperor Linia was not fatal.
It meant that the Empire would not easily fall to Abaddon in the future.
However, even in the face of a relatively hopeful situation, one cruel fact could not be ignored.
Abaddon was the one who did not care whether his powers died or lost the war.
Abaddon had already completed the heart of the machine and was desperate to find the cube.
In the end, this war will end only by killing Abaddon.
As she slowly realized that fact, Natalie panted and ran into the studio.
“Han Si-ha, I have something to tell you!”
If it was an important issue, I would have always brought all the members of the guild, but that day, he came to me urgently by himself.
So Natalie’s words were perhaps the news I had been waiting for the most.
“I found a way to find out where Abaddon is.”
The NGC area, the real home of the Warlocks.
Among them, the heart of the machine has not yet been found.
Natalie had a very bizarre idea there.
The idea of finding the NGC area by tracing back the cube’s location.
“If you look at the circuit of the cube, it is the way the magic is condensed. It is for this reason that you cannot feel the magic of the cube unless you get close to it. However… … .”
After manipulating the circuit a few times, Natalie held up the cube.
The cube of sensation wobbled and lit up in the air.
“Can you see the circuit oscillating here?”
Just because I touched the circuit a little doesn’t seem to have amplified the magic.
The cube’s circuit was trembling as if it could not withstand the magic.
Natalie opened her mouth with a serious face.
“If you touch the circuit, you can amplify the magic.”
Oh, I understand what you’re saying.
I looked down at the cube at Natalie’s words.
The cube of sensation was vibrating as if resonating.
It is still not at the level of feeling.
It is probably at a level that some wizards who are sensitive to magic can barely find it with detection magic. A wizard like Adela would be able to do it.
However, Natalie unfolded the complicated circuit diagram and continued the explanation.
“It is enough to have this kind of magic power. It will take a long time, but if we trace the magic back, we can locate the cube.”
Estimated time required is at least one month.
The circuit Natalie had written down was so vast that it could not be understood at first glance, and Natalie’s eyes were confident in introducing it.
As for Cube, no one understands more than Natalie.
And, there was the help of Youn Ha-eul.
“It’s Ha-eul’s work.”
“… … I promised to keep it a secret.”
“It’s tea.”
It seems that the idea of being able to trace the cube back belonged to Natalie, and it seemed that it was Youn Ha-eul who realized it.
Youn Ha-eul’s meticulous blueprint caught my eye.
To be honest, I don’t know much about this either, but I thought I knew a few things.
“It would be unreasonable to pinpoint the exact location with this.”
“Right.”
“Then you want to find out the approximate location?”
“yes!”
It’s a bit difficult to see the world without satellites, but what Haeul Youn envisioned was a GPS system. However, it is somewhat less accurate to track the exact location.
“This is a good level, but it’s dangerous to enter based only on the approximate location.”
There is even one more problem.
“Isn’t this state amplifying the magic circuit to the maximum? Unless you give Abaddon this cube, it seems difficult to track the location with the existing cube.”
Natalie hesitated at my words, then spoke up.
“It’s already… … I have it.”
“yes?”
The Cube of the Sun and Moon that was robbed by Abaddon during the war.
In a sudden surprise, the cube was taken from the helpless state, and there was a moment when I almost died.
“The cube was given out on purpose.”
“What?”
Then I remembered
At that time, it was Youn Ha-eul who had the Cube stolen on the battlefield.
“You guys have a plan.”
I didn’t know you were hiding this from me.
Moreover, I didn’t know they were tracking the location of the cube so refreshingly from behind.
Natalie held up an inaccurate map.
It was the result of tracking the location of the NGC area inaccurately.
“You won’t be able to enter by tracing the approximate location… … Another way… … .”
I pondered over Natalie’s words slowly, then hardened coldly.
It’s a good enough achievement, but with this kind of information, it’s hard to get into it recklessly.
If so, there is one way left to track the exact location of the cube.
no way.
“… … .”
magic detection.
Only one person can sneak in first.
When I got there, I looked down at Natalie without a word.
Natalie kept her mouth shut and looked into my eyes.
It was then that everything started to make sense.
The reason why Youn Ha-eul, who would have bragged to me if he had discovered such a great fact, was always quiet. Why even Natalie hid this fact.
Except for all the other members of the order, I was the only one who found it quietly.
“… … That’s why you didn’t tell me?”
Because there was one person who was perfect for detection magic.
Everyone will have no objection to who it is.
A person who collects, detects, and finds subterranean magical power, and feels even the smallest of magical powers better than others.
There was an earth wizard, Adela.
When it comes to magic detection, no one can follow Adela.
Even if it was a small amount of magic that other wizards could not find, Adela would be able to detect it enough.
Only if you go nearby.
In the first place, the concept of tracing back the position of the cube was an idea that had never been realized.
However, the moment I found the approximate location.
Now it was Adela’s job.
I know it all too well.
If it’s Adela… … .
If it’s the guy who hates Abaddon more than anyone else… … .
I’m sure I’ll jump into this job.
You know what it means to throw yourself there.
We also know that there is a high probability that he will not survive.
From jumping there to kill Abaddon, to doing it at the risk of death is right.
This is the death of a dog by anyone.
“Haeul was against it. I told you to destroy this blueprint. I didn’t want you to tell me.”
Natalie grimaced and bowed her head.
“by the way… … I am not… … .”
Many people died in the war.
Natalie lost her family.
Natalie was also unhappy until she brought up these words.
However, she struggled to vomit.
“I think Adela should know.”
The choice is yours, but
Even if you can’t force it. You can’t hide it forever
There might be a way to end the war.
I can’t get lost in front of that method.
Natalie looked up at me with sad eyes.
“Han Shiha.”
If the last cube is taken away, that path is doomed.
It was a set procedure in Sulcademi, and it meant the worst ending.
It’s a novel I’ve read, so I know it better than anyone.
Abaddon will aim for me dozens of times, hundreds of times, and steal the belonged cube.
It might be inserted into the heart of the machine to obtain infinite magical power.
Even if it is a weakened cube, the moment it falls into Abaddon’s hands, the Ardel Empire will never be able to fight him and win.
Yes, this empire will fall.
Natalie asked me again.
“Han Shiha, are you going to tell me?”
Perhaps it is a question that has an answer.
In the original story, Lee Han could not find the location of the cube and fought while losing everything, and eventually threw himself away.
When the moment came when I had to throw away anything, I threw it away relentlessly.
It must be because of this that Lee Han, who should have died sooner, survived and fought against Abaddon.
However.
I am not used to throwing away.
Unlike Lee Han, who vomited blood while losing both eyes and letting go of all senses,
I don’t even want to fight Abaddon by throwing myself away.
Like an idiot, I want to take care of my people.
Because I am a person full of greed that I do not want to lose.
I shook my head.
“no.”
Natalie looked up at me, biting her lower lip, and I added coldly.
It didn’t matter if everyone in the world criticized this ridiculous decision now.
“Don’t tell Adela.”
“Han Shiha, I know what you mean, but… … .”
“If you find out like that, I won’t go with you. If you guys fight with each other, I won’t stop you. The death of a dog will only go from one person to many. Again, Castica will not be involved in any of this.”
It’s not something to hide.
Natalie knew what she was talking about.
Adela is quick-witted and smart.
If it is the conclusion that Youn Ha-eul and Natalie found out, Adela will surely come up with it someday.
I was afraid of it.
I didn’t look for Adela because I was afraid that the things I was hiding would be exposed.
So that he could not think of anything else, he sent only the worst battlefield.
selfish
Wrong choice.
It’s going to be blamed for the rest of your life.
Even though I knew everything, I had no choice but to admit it.
I don’t want to lose that kid.
