3. Ashera Glaead & Chersha Kalua (17)
***
A mage tower located in the capital of the empire. Grandel.
Because it is the largest and known to have the highest level of wizards living there, the scale of the facilities, including various laboratories located inside, was also spectacular.
“I’m really sorry…. If we had more time, we could have guided you to more places.”
Harin, a woman who conveys her regrets with her sincere words, could not easily take her eyes off of Chersha.
The woman in front of her was the youngest wizard in the history of the Mage Tower to reach the 5th rank. She was in charge of such a person’s guidance and shared her words even for a moment. Even after she was like her heart, she was full of her heart to talk, but her own role was so far.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Thank you for a moment.”
Chersha, who spoke lightly to her Harin, climbed the space shift magic circle and headed for the top floor. Pleaa, who had not been invited to the top floor, greeted Chersha and turned her head to her Harin. .
“You’re really great, aren’t you?”
The moment Chersha disappeared on top of the space transfer magic circle. Pleaa, who stopped her laughter, looked back at Harin as if she were someone else.
“Yes, Chersha-sama definitely has an atmosphere… Everything is different, even her presence.”
“And I’m only telling you now, but it was a bit like staring at Chersha-sama throughout the guide.”
“Is that so?”
“Chersha hates it when someone you don’t know casually talks to you.”
“That…. Okay.”
Harin is dumbfounded at the appearance of Plea, who suddenly seems to have changed, and she says.
After that, the blunt look of Plaah spat out words one after another to blame Harin for her attitude.
Pleaa, who had been looking at such a figure with cold eyes, sighed heavily after confirming that she had hidden her figure.
“… I know that all 4th tier wizards are the same 4th tier, really.”
The sight of her casually approaching Chersha in a friendly manner was an annoyance to her the entire time she was inside her mage tower. After that, Plea, who continued to grumble, twirled her green hair and waited for Chersha to come down.
Four stars were embroidered around the red sun on one side of the chest of Plea’s luxurious robe.

Jerbug.
Grendal’s Mage Tower, which has as many as 17 floors at its top, was different even though it was certainly of a different scale.
There were a lot of simple floors, but each floor seemed to be twice the size of the Eastern Mage Tower.
And the level of the wizard who guided him to the personal room of the owner of the mage was never better than himself. No, I couldn’t easily guess the height of it.
Smart.
The wizard, who had been silently guiding himself without saying anything, knocked on the luxurious door, and the door slowly began to open.
The mage, who bowed slightly towards Chersha, seemed to say that this is all he has to do. Seeing that appearance, Chersha said that nobles of a certain rank would not allow her to take even a simple step, so she stepped there cautiously.
Jerbug.
“Welcome.”
As a soft voice resonated through the space, Chersha’s head naturally turned to one side.
The platinum blonde hair was tied into a single braid and neatly braided. The face below it boasted a perfect beauty, as if looking at a beautiful sculpture touched by a god, and the soft mouth that matched the arc line with the large eyes that existed in it naturally put the viewer at ease.
And such a beautiful face had a singularity. Its long ears drew attention as if it showed off its presence.
Grandel, a huge magic tower located in the capital of the Chaldean Empire.
The master of the Mage Tower of Grandel.
Eurissia von Hardia.
It was an elf whose age was not properly known.
“Meet the dawn of the empire.”
And the moment Chersha sees Yuri Sia, she gracefully gets down on one knee and expresses her yes in a restrained voice.
As if greeting a hero who saved the Chaldean Empire in the past.
Chersha already knew a lot about Yurishia. Dawn was like a reference to the elf Yurishia who saved the empire when all the light had gone and the fate of the empire was over.
“Oops.”
As if she hadn’t expected Chersha’s reaction at all, Yuri Sia glared at her and spat out her words in a panic.
There was no one in the empire other than the imperial family who had the power to bring the Kalua family to their knees. Chersha naturally looked at Yuri Sia and showed an example to the extent of welcoming her royal family.
“Please stand up. I feel burdened to receive such excessive courtesy.”
Yuri Sia gently took Chersha’s hand and pulled her up, leading Chersha with a benevolent smile.
She seemed to have prepared in advance. In addition to the seemingly unremarkable refreshments on the table, even Chersha, who had a good knowledge of tea, had a tea with a surprising scent spreading a sweet fragrance there.
Let’s take a seat at the table while obediently receiving Yurishia’s guidance. The tea spread its scent strongly, as if enchanting Chersha.
Unbeknownst to me, Chersha’s eyes turned to the dark red car.
“How is it? Does it smell good?”
“Yes, it’s my first time smelling it….”
“It’s a flower called lilac tea.”
After those words, Yurishia and Chersha had various conversations.
Her soft face and the attitude of Yuri Sia, who opened her mouth gently, had a strange charm that made even Chersha, who usually doesn’t talk well with anyone, open her mouth.
**
“So Chersha is heading north now?”
“Yes. Because she has someone she must meet there….”
“Whoops. It really feels romantic.”
Yuri Sia just looked at Chersha with a warm smile as she savored her tea and opened her mouth to her upcoming schedule.
The appearance of a human who is only 17 years old now has a strange charm that makes you feel as if you are looking at a fresh flower that has now bloomed.
Yuri Sia didn’t miss the subtle change in her expression the moment she said that she was someone she had to meet.
‘A flower that blooms so splendidly even though it is like a flower that never knows when and where it will wither.’
Facing her from her atmosphere to her image, I felt like they were all unusual, so I continued to pay attention.
At first, I was interested in her because she was a human with a talent that was not in the Mage Tower, but as expected, all of her geniuses were different. Every human being looked new.
“Ah, it was fate that I met Chersha today… I want to give you even a small gift.”
Chersha looked at Yurishia with a puzzled expression as if she hadn’t expected it at her sudden words.
A small smile appeared on Yurishia’s lips as if a smile was spreading at the human figure that looked infinitely pure the more she looked at it.
As if holding her in the air, she held her hand lightly and held a small glass bottle in Yuri Sia’s hand, as if it had existed from the beginning.
As if revealing that there is a liquid that is unusual even at first glance, the liquid inside the small glass bottle itself emits a purple light.
“I hope you never use it, Chersha, but if you ever meet an elf, it will definitely come in handy.”
With that said, Yurisa handed over the glass bottle containing the liquid, and Chersha, who carefully received the bottle, thanked her and examined the glass bottle containing the purple liquid. And she naturally turned her gaze to Yuri Sia.
Looks full of questions, as if asking what exactly it is for.
As if answering Chersha’s question, Yuri Sia continued her words with a small smile.
“If you ever meet an elf outside, just hand over the glass bottle to them so they won’t be hostile to you.”
Chersha, who had been quietly listening to Yuri Sia’s seemingly simple words, looked at her glass bottle again, stunned for a moment.
“… The dew of the World Tree.”
Only then did she realize why she had a purple glow. The liquid in the small glass bottle was an extremely rare liquid that could not be obtained no matter how much money was spent.
There are mainly elves, Eurisia, in Arvaltea, the capital of the empire, but… Virtually all other elves in existence were hostile to humans.
Even if you tried to find it, the existence of elves could not be easily seen anywhere, but if you happened to run into them, it was no different than facing a natural disaster that humans could not resist.
Because the strength of the race of elves was already proven by just one Yurisia…….
“Thank you.”
Yuri Sia, who hurriedly soothed Chersha, who lowered her head slightly, soon started talking about various topics again.
Their conversation seemed to continue into the night as if it would never end.

“Whew.”
Rachel exhales and she takes a big breath of the night air.
After spending the entire day hanging out in the inn, her boredom filled her entire body. Eventually, she left the inn late at night to catch the night breeze. Even at that moment, she herself had to put on a jet-black robe.
She couldn’t walk around Arbalthea, the capital of her empire, without wearing this robe that erased her own presence, so even though it was frustrating, she had to wear it.
The city, which was supposed to be dark at night, was shining brightly as if it had forgotten the darkness.
Brilliant and colorful lights were shining all over the city, and despite the distance, the center of the city, which boasts a huge height, seemed to show off its majesty as if it radiated light by itself even at night.
A raucous noise echoed in Rachel’s ears as she walked through the city, as if announcing the night in the capital.
From the appearance of a drunken person, to the appearance of raising one’s voice while salivating over what is the problem, to the appearance of lovers looking at each other affectionately with their cheeks blushing shyly as if they are walking in the night city with their lover.
The appearances of the people were all diverse.
And just by looking at those people, I felt the tedium that dominated me disappear without a trace.
The scenery of the street, which would surely have a quiet atmosphere in other cities, continued to fill his gaze with various things to see, as if it was getting more and more heated at night.
Then Rachel’s eyes caught sight of people gathering and making noise in a corner of her field of vision. As if she had to, Rachel’s steps headed there.
“What the hell… What is it, Lady?”
A man clinging to a woman pathetically. However, the clothes she wore and the jewelry she wore were luxurious, so anyone could tell that her status was not ordinary.
In addition to his face and hands, he seemed to have never struggled with any of them.
I could tell his identity just by looking at him.
You must be a noble.
Anyway, what a great woman she is, so she was so clingy. When she naturally looked at her, Rachel involuntarily admired her.
‘It’s worth hanging on to.’
She was a woman with an appearance that seemed to radiate a greater light among the lights illuminating the city in darkness.
Her long blonde hair down to her waist was characterized by a gray tinge, but the noble face beneath it seemed to attract everyone’s attention in itself.
Even the slightly frowning face of the male figure gave off a sense of dignity, to the point that one wondered if the face of a princess from a novel would be like that.
However, judging from the robe and black-brimmed hat she was wearing, she seemed to be a wizard.
“Chersha-nim has already replied that she has no intentions… But could you please move her seat?”
As if to represent such a woman, her green-haired girl came forward and spoke.
