Episode. 44 Horga Bowhasa (1)
The next day, Alan and I visited Alyssa once more.
It did not take long for her to change her mind about not wanting to get involved with Marx.
“I get it. There must be a reason why you are talking this far. I will talk with the family head.”
She said so with a detached face.
It wouldn’t have been an easy decision.
Today, Alyssa and Marx had a very uncomfortable relationship, so she would be hesitant to even set foot in her parents’ home.
‘and… … It’s more dangerous than Alisa thought.’
Bapel Marx.
I found traces of the Demon King’s involvement in him.
Alisara couldn’t send her valuable power alone.
It wasn’t just my thoughts.
“sister. I will go with you.”
Alan stepped forward and said.
Alisa burst into laughter at the look of serious concern.
“You pushed me to go and go, and now you’re worried about me?”
“… … sorry. However, I had no intention of sending my sister alone from the beginning. There’s no way the family will show favor to your sister.”
From giving up the position of the next head of household to making Laplace independent of Marx.
Alisa’s actions were just the right thing to dislike for the head of the family and the elders.
‘Besides, all the brothers except Alan sympathize with Bapel. It’s time to stand still for a while.’
I agreed to Alan going with her.
“Leaving a guest alone is unacceptable.”
“That’s why I can’t follow you.”
It was obvious that if I went to Marx’s citadel, my whole body would disintegrate into atoms.
It was like pouring oil all over your body and then jumping into a pit of fire.
However, it is not that he does not understand Alyssa’s feelings.
Leaving Battenberg’s blood and relatives at the castle of the Magic Kingdom was an extraordinary act from our common sense.
“If you’re feeling anxious, I’ll be staying outside Laplace Kingdom. Let’s meet again after the family business is over.”
“Hmm… … .”
She snorted and rested her chin.
The slightly wrinkled black cloth covering her eyes seemed to be quite troublesome.
Soon she shook her head.
“If you treat our poop puppy’s one and only friend so badly, it’s bitter. And my eyes are pretty accurate. There won’t be any uncomfortable things happening to each other. If it’s okay with you, you can stay in the royal castle.”
◈ ◈ ◈
Alyssa and Alan quickly finished preparing to head to their home.
In the first place, it was only a brief stop, so I didn’t have too many luggage.
Beep-!
I approached Alyssa while listening to the song of the songbird.
“Could you lend me a hand for a moment?”
“hmm?”
Alisa tilted her head and held out her right hand.
I looked down at that beautiful hand and put a ring on it.
“oh.”
A simple ring with no decorations, containing the 10 beliefs.
Alyssa fumbled for the ring with her mouth slightly open and let out a pleasant laugh.
“Are you proposing to me? Oops, I shouldn’t have held out my left hand.”
Alisa joked nonchalantly, but Alan’s eyes seemed to shoot lasers from behind.
It’s stupid.
… … You don’t think I’m really proposing, do you?
“Please do not take off this ring.”
“Whoops. Got it. It’s the first time I’ve ever received a ring from a boy.”
Alyssa seemed to find Alan’s reaction funny as well, so she continued to joke around.
Soon, the two flew away on the ‘Crying Bird’.
‘If it’s Laplace’s eyes, you’ll see traces of the Demon King.’
The feeling of pressure when our eyes met with it is indescribable.
If you are tolerant, you will lose your mind, and if you are unlucky, the worst situation may happen where you fall into heresy like Baffel.
The ring I gave her was like an insurance policy.
I looked at the two people who were already far apart like dots and moved on.
Next to me was an old man clinging to me.
“I will guide you to the VIP room.”
It was the head of the butler Alisa assigned to me, named Pyran Hall.
‘They willingly allowed me to stay in the royal castle and attached this old man to me. It’s not easy either.’
Pyran Hall.
He is the head of the Laplace Castle and at the same time the man who served as the Marx family’s first magic director.
Seeing such a great wizard follow me around like a leech made me laugh out loud.
“… … What are you so happy about?”
Could my appearance be misunderstood?
Pyran stared at me with wary eyes.
“A Battenberg who receives the throne of Lord Pyran, who is famous throughout the continent. Where else could there be such a rare case?”
“okay.”
Pyran nodded calmly.
When he opened his mouth again, it was after arriving at the VIP room.
“I will bring you a cup of tea. Is there anything else you need?”
“Well, I need a companion. May I ask Lord Pyran?”
“… … .”
An unknown gaze scanned me.
Soon after, he turned around and left the guest room.
I looked at the closed door and moved my gaze.
In case anyone thought it wasn’t the Southern Continent, the bookshelves in the VIP room were full of all sorts of magic books.
“Let’s see… … .”
From basic magic books to advanced magic.
It seemed to have all the necessary books.
『Circle, magic circle and modifier, 4 elements, expression.』
Among them, a book with a fairly simple name stood out.
I picked it up and read it leisurely, when Pyran appeared with a tray of teacups.
“Are you interested in magic?”
“yes. There is no other mysterious and great power like magic.”
“… … .”
I obviously asked him for a companion, but Pyran was not very suitable as a person to talk to.
I left him quietly sipping tea and fixed his gaze on the book again.
『Magic is largely completed in three ways. The first is mana. The circle resonates the caster’s mana and nature’s mana, and weaves the second stage, the magic circle. The third step, the formula, is different for each magic, and the magic is completed by overlaying the correct formula on the magic circle. The criterion of a skilled wizard is judged by whether the magic circle and the formula can be simultaneously manifested… … .』
Sarak.
The bookshelves were quickly turned over.
My eyes followed the letters that densely filled the paper.
While I was reading the book for a long time, I felt a strange gaze.
“It is certainly a rare case. Battenberg, who has a deep interest in magic… … .”
“There is nothing that can’t be done. Aren’t wizards also quite interested in the existence of knights?”
“you’re right. In the first place, even barding soldiers were modeled after knights.”
Pyran expressed his affirmation.
Then, with a bitter expression, he opened his mouth.
From noble mtl dot com
“It is truly pitiful. Why is the human heart divided into two types… … .”
widely.
I closed the book I was reading and looked at him.
“Difference breeds strife, discrimination breeds malice. A knight and a wizard quarreled over a difference in heart. The quarrel eventually spread into discrimination and reached the point of being torn apart into the northern and southern continents.”
As if his words had finally opened up, Pyran calmly continued his speech.
“Didn’t Prince Richard say he came all the way here to prevent a war?”
“That’s right.”
“To be honest, this old man still doesn’t believe in Confucius. Even as we sit and drink tea like this, my mana is secretly flowing. So that we can weave magic at any time.”
Look at this.
Now that I can see it, the speechless Pyran was quite a good companion.
I furrowed my brows as if I was in a bad mood.
“You are too honest to be honest.”
“sorry. Please forgive my rudeness.”
“… … Lord Pyran.”
“yes.”
“According to your words, the reason knights and wizards became enemies is because they couldn’t cross each other’s territory?”
“I think so.”
That’s a pretty interesting view.
I spread my hand over the table where the teacup was placed.
“Then, if they have a clear center point, the problem will be resolved.”
“… … ?”
The old man’s eyes soon turned to surprise as the question popped up.
keying-
A ring floated on my hand.
Wrapped in brilliance, it rotated wildly.
“Uh, maybe that’s… … !”
Listening to the breathless voice, I concentrated again and again.
‘It resonates with my divine power and the magical power of nature.’
The ring rotates faster.
The mana in the VIP room was absorbed into the ring.
Easy stuff so far.
‘They said you had to weave the magic circle first. The most basic magic circle is definitely… … .’
It reminded me of a picture I had just seen in a book.
Kiyiing-
A round circle appeared in front of the ring.
A beam of light drew a pentagram within it.
It was a basic magic circle that served as the basis for the 1st to 3rd circles.
“They say that if you overlay a formula on this magic circle, the corresponding magic will be manifested, right?”
The old man with his eyes wide open was speechless.
Pyran Hall.
Until I learn magic from Alisa, a wizard who has no shortage of opponents to lay my foundation.
“Would you like a little help, Sir Pyran?”
I smiled.
◈ ◈ ◈
Marx’s blood and relatives gathered in the hall of the main house.
It was a family gathering after a long time, but for some reason the air around the hall was foul.
“Ha, did you really come?”
“Where is this… … !”
A ferocious force poured down on a woman in the center of the hall.
She stood on her own, enduring it all calmly.
Swoop.
Alan held Alisa’s hand tightly.
“Whoops. Youngest, there is nothing to worry about.”
“… … It’s not because I’m worried. If I don’t hold my sister’s hand, I’m afraid I’ll attack my older brothers, so I just grabbed it.”
The large hall amplified Alan’s voice wonderfully.
At the bold statement of the youngest, the two men frowned.
“A cheeky thing. It’s not enough to dare to oppose the will of the head of the family, have you brought that woman now?”
said the eldest son, threatening.
But Alan and Alyssa snorted and walked past him.
It was an obvious attitude that he had no interest in you.
“Brothers.”
Alisa, who was climbing the stairs in the hall, quietly opened her mouth.
“Don’t show your teeth too much. Even though I lost my eyes, not all my strength is gone.”
The lofty mana pushed all the surrounding air out.
“Come on, let’s go. I am the youngest.”
She started climbing the stairs again.
For some reason, the area around the eyes covered by the cloth was very itchy.
‘There is definitely something not right. It’s all over the house.’
Should it be intuition?
Alisa’s heart was ringing the alarm bell.
