91. Replenish power (3)
Elia nodded as she inspected her golems one by one.
She could tell that those small movements were the ones that came out when she was satisfied with her own results.
As if to prove that my thoughts were not wrong, Elia approached Helga and spoke in an overbearing manner.
“I’d love to deal with it myself, but I still have to give you a gift.”
“Even if you call it a gift… Tell me what to do with these….”
Helga looked into Elia’s eyes as she slurred her words.
As expected, Elia pressed her temples with a look of annoyance. Seeing this sequence of actions, Helga held her neck like her turtle, waiting for Elia’s next words.
Even when she saw it, she didn’t feel as sympathetic or anything like she used to. Just as humans don’t feel very deep emotions when they see her ant, my gaze at Helga was different from before.
Elia pressed Helga’s forehead and opened her mouth in an annoyed tone.
“Do I have to explain all these things? What the hell is on your head?”
“Elia, it’s pitiful, so just stop there. Haven’t we forgotten our purpose?”
If Olivia hadn’t stopped her in the middle, she would have continued to crave Helga until she was about to lose her mind.
Elia clicked her tongue once, then turned around behind her and came to my side.
Stella approached her distraught Helga and put her hand on her shoulder.
“Well, I don’t really care if you take these golems and do anything that doesn’t help humans. It’s okay to organize a mercenary group like before, destroy a nearby country or village, or play the king in a secluded place. It’s a golem that Elia made by injecting her magical energy, so it should be able to handle an army of any size even with her eyes closed.”
Helga swallowed her saliva and waited for Stella to say her next words.
“But isn’t that kind of fun?”
“No fun?”
“Don’t you want to take revenge on the world that made you this way? You must have suffered quite a bit too.”
Helga clenched her fists and seemed to recall her own past. From her tightly closed lips, she could somehow guess the pain she had felt in her past.
She then nodded her head and looked at Stella with her eyes different from before.
Stella also nodded her head in her satisfied gaze and patted Helga on her shoulder.
“Yeah, that’s it. Think carefully about who you should look at. You can burn as much as you want, and kill as much as you want.”
Stella, who turned her back and was about to move on, stopped her steps as if she remembered something, and she opened her mouth, not looking at Helga.
“Ah, there is one thing you must not forget. If we call something, you’d better come right away.”
“Is this the end?”
Stella shook her head at my question and approached Olivia.
“Olivia? Stay here for a while and train him. His name is a corps commander, but if he only borrowed the power of a golem, wouldn’t it look like that?”
Olivia looked at me and she licked her lips in pity, but then she nodded her head as if she couldn’t help it.
“It’s a shame I won’t be able to see her dad for a while, but I get it.”
After she finished her words, Olivia put her arms around her one last time and whispered in a voice that only I could hear.
“I’m going to get all of them later, even the ones I like for the other kids.”
She was able to put her fleeting desires aside for her cause. However, after this she had no idea what a huge reward Olivia would demand from me. She probably won’t be enough even if she stays in bed for three days and three nights.
Thinking of the time to come, I stroked Olivia’s hair with a faint smile.
After Olivia and her brief greeting, I left Helga and Olivia behind her and moved on to her destination.
The next destination was decided.
I sighed as I looked at the Mage Tower towering in the center of the continent, unaware of how high the sky was.

“f*ck, f*ck!”
Cassandra swore and swept the items off the table and threw them to the floor.
After all her plans were blocked and she was brutally beaten by the elves, her mind was more devastated than before. Needless to say, after she broke up with Leon, who could fill her body and soul.
Even with such an exhausted spirit, she rose to the position of the new Mage Tower owner.
The Master of the Magic Tower, who was still in good health, knew that Cassandra’s mental power was disturbed and refused to hand over her position, but she already knew.
That this world only goes back to strength.
Despite the unusual case of killing the lord of the mage tower and becoming a new lord of the mage tower, the public did not take issue with it. In the first place, there was no way to stop her skills except for Leon.
However, even after she rose to the position of Master of the Mage Tower, her knowledge was still in a state of hunger.
Even if he devised new magic and formulas and created new creatures, this thirst never ceased.
Actually, her greed was not this much. Had she stayed in the past, she would have been content with where she is now.
After seeing Elia’s magic, the magic of the forgotten evil spirit, she couldn’t be satisfied with her own trivial magic.
Any wizard could understand her desires.
I was dazzled at first sight. Instinctively she wanted her power. She could have sold her soul if she could get that chance.
But that didn’t happen.
Because those mad demons are obsessed with a human who has no value.
That fact bothered Cassandra. Why did you choose a porter who crawled from the bottom like a worm and not me, who has the talents chosen by the gods?
Cassandra looked at her broken glass and tore her hair out.
Meanwhile, she heard a voice calling her outside.
“Lady Cassandra!”
If it’s not important, I’ll turn it into a frog. Cassandra thought to herself and opened the door roughly.
“What?”
“Su, it’s an attack!”
Raid?
I couldn’t imagine humans attacking the Mage Tower. Even if you bring a tolerable army, if you respond with high-level magic, you will be reduced to ashes.
What if?
I can only imagine one thing.
Cassandra roughly shoved the wizard who gave her news and looked outside.
There was the face she longed for.
“It’s been a while.”
Elia greeted her for the first time with her smile.
Cassandra managed to calm her surprise, cast her sorcerer away, and ask Elia in the calmest tone possible.
“What are you doing here?”
She probably didn’t come all the way here to have a leisurely conversation.
It wouldn’t be strange to call what happened between Cassandra and Elia enemies. Threatening to cut her throat, take her heart… A sane person would stir up a fight just by looking at Elia’s face, but Cassandra was also completely insane, so she could have a conversation like this.
Elia answered Cassandra’s question while looking around her.
“Here? It’s no big deal.”
Cassandra confirmed that there were no human beings around her, but she kept quiet as much as possible. She said this woman would never have come to her for no purpose.
Cassandra must have come to her because she has something to do with Ain. After thinking that far, Cassandra invited Elia to her room.
“Come in first.”
Elia entered Cassandra’s room without any suspicion and inspected her room.
The traces of magic and broken glass bottles scattered here and there clearly reveal Cassandra’s hard work.
Elia picked up her broken bottle and said in a mocking tone.
“Looks like you’ve been making strange magic again?”
The insult of her own magic being dismissed as strange magic is one of the hardest words for a wizard to hear, but if she puts it in her shoes, it must be strange magic.
No? She was inexcusable even if she said it was insignificant beyond that. In fact, to Elia, who masters all magic and casually uses magic unimaginable to humans, everything about Cassandra was close to her prank.
Cassandra shrugged her shoulders in response.
“What… That’s the limit of a human mage.”
Elia covered her mouth and replied with a smile.
“Right. Humans are weak I’ve dedicated my life to just one magic like this, and I’m satisfied again. How insignificant is it?”
After finishing her words, Elia made a flower made of magic bloom on her palm.
It was a magic that was only beautiful on the outside, but Cassandra, who was outside the human category, was able to see through it.
The moment even one of those flower petals falls, the fact that this area will be destroyed.
Elia clenched her fists with a mischievous smile as if he had noticed Cassandra’s concerns.
“You don’t have to worry so much. Because I have no intention of destroying this place right now.”
Cassandra kept an eye on her and finally got to the point.
“So? Why did you come here? Can you tell me now?”
“Oh? Reason?”
The next moment, Cassandra couldn’t open her mouth.
“Simple. As a human, you are useless.”
Cassandra, her whole body dismembered and scattered on the floor, or her chunk of meat, which you can’t even call human anymore, stopped thinking.
