131 – Oh, you can do it. If… !
Now two more days have passed. Early moning.
I am analyzing the treasure obtained from Berkel’s dangerous area, the power source containing the power of the ancient rune.
The three-dimensional paintings captured on the recording paper became a topic of discussion.
I made 20 more and asked the Faculty of Magic to put them up for auction, and of course I got a positive response back.
Of course, some three-dimensional elements were added to these 20 pieces. It’s a so-called “Limited edition,” And all proceeds from sales will be used to fund the construction of the Mage Tower.
After going through such a process, I also finally had the time to focus on the power source.
I worked hard for two days in the dormitory.
I compared and contrasted the research papers handed over from Violet with the knowledge I already knew, and at the same time discovered and referred to a large number of papers.
Also, a treasure in the form of a frame obtained at the fairgrounds.
As a result of using and examining the ancient runes contained in 「Dream」, The abstract and distant outline of the power source finally began to emerge.
“I see….”
It was indeed an object with tremendous power.
At first, I only knew that it was a combination power source, but after working hard for two days, I found out.
That this power source is close to ‘synthesis’ itself.
Transmutation basically consists of three stages of understanding, disassembly, and reconstruction, and I guarantee that the range of utilization of the three stages will be high as it has tremendous power.
For example, not only can the appearance of the tower be changed as needed, but also the interior space can be freely transformed to suit the purpose.
“The result will be great, but….”
These assumptions still remain at the level of ‘expectation’ or ‘imagination’. It will come true after the research is completely finished.
“I need a little more time.”
While muttering that, I checked the invitation this time. There have been countless mails addressed to me lately, but this one stood out because it was golden.
I also couldn’t ignore it. Because it belongs to the imperial family.
“Hmm.”
Although the typefaces filled a single page, the contents were too simple.
“Death penalty and verification lecture. Choose one or the other.”
It would be better to give a verification lecture than the death penalty.
That’s when I thought so.
“Cool—!”
She must have heard the noise, and Maiev, who was on the other side of her dormitory, coughed and patted her on the chest.
She kept her blood in her bowl and ate it like soup. In short, she is eating.
I said narrowing my brows.
“Eat calmly.”
“….”
Maiev nods her head with a strangely disgruntled look on her face.
She had no complaints. Since becoming my slave, she has never consumed human blood. Even now, she is only eating the blood of animals.
She moved her spoon a few more times before she spoke.
“I am very worried as a slave to take out and study that precious power source very proudly.”
“If you have concerns, practice. I’m always worried about devising trashy assassination methods.”
“I’m not saying that….”
“Sure.”
“….”
Maiev squeezed her mouth shut.
He purses his lips for a long time as if he has a lot to say, then responds timidly.
“I mean, you know how obsessed blood demons are with their ancient runes. Master.”
Only then did I turn my head.
Our eyes collide in the air.
Maiev’s red eyes narrowed hers.
“… I praised you for knowing a lot.”
“Maiev, are you afraid of other blood demons?”
“Master. Then the owner doesn’t even care about that?”
I smiled rather lightly at that question.
Humans use magic as a medium of mana, but blood demons use black magic as a medium of vitality.
I’m just intrigued by those who have built magic in a completely different way from other beings.
It is different from being careless. I just want to understand them deeply, and the higher the level of understanding, the lower the probability of an accident.
I spoke to Maiev.
“I must send you back to the arms of the demons.”
“Send it back?”
Maiev’s eyes widened.
She lost her bowl and spoon that she was holding, but I grabbed them with my mind and put them away.
“What are the plans of the blood demons and what kind of stories are going on. Investigate thoroughly and reach me.”
“No, ha….”
Maiev covers her own eyes with her hands. It was a bonus that she let out a sigh with her world-lost expression.
“Say it if you find it impossible to practice. I will dispose of you who are useless right here.”
“This is Maiev. You don’t have the ability to perform.”
Maiev was furious. She grumbles at the same time.
“But it must be more difficult than before. Now, thanks to someone, the slave mark is showing off.”
She shows me the back of her hand as if to look at this.
I created a picture frame around her.
“Rest. Maiev.”
“Since the seal was also engraved, it meant that I would work harder now. When it comes to camouflage, Maiev. It is me.”
I nodded.
“There is another thing you need to do. You must have disguised yourself as a member of the upper ranks of Marceline Firm.”
“Yes. I have a monopoly on the Magic Faculty’s investments.”
“We will have to put more effort into management in the future.”
“I am already managing it systematically and well.”
Maiev snapped her fingers and with a pop, her ledger appeared.
“I am not talking about the financial part.”
“Then I didn’t understand what to manage.”
“Explain to investors in detail how the gold coins collected will be used. Send her thanks in a handwritten letter. If you received something, you should give it back.”
Maiev crumpled her expression.
“Hand letter…. What nonsense.”
“Even if it doesn’t make sense, I should do it.”
“Why?”
The frame of the picture frame stuck to her up, down, left and right with a clap. Maiev, imprisoned in a small prison, exclaimed urgently.
“Ah, you can do it. If… !”
◈
‘Diffesh’ is a pulsating space in the deep and distant abyss, a community made entirely of magic.
Despite being in the water, the form of a city on the ground is embodied here, and it is truly the culmination of magic research.
Inside Depeche, there are scattered eccentrics who wish to stir up the world with their magic.
The members of this place dream of high-level magic research, to the extent that there is a saying that ‘all the top level magic that exists on the continent was created in Depeche’.
They work hard on their studies all day, keep each other in check, and don’t even ask how they are doing….
Currently, they are gathered in one mind. It was to participate in an ongoing auction.
The cause is a limited edition of a three-dimensional painting created by a student at the academy. Just one sheet of record.
“Currently, 989 people have offered 1000 gold coins. After a 10-minute break, the auction restarts with 1200 gold coins.”
What they want to acquire by spending a large amount of money is not a luxury item. This is a limited edition of a luminous three-dimensional painting contained in Plan’s recording paper.
“The auction will restart with 2000 in 10 minutes.”
Considering that there are 1,001 permanent residents of Diffesh, the participation of 989 people is truly a tremendous achievement.
The auction continues without much fuss.
All you have to do is write down the number of gold coins on the business card-sized record sheet that each person was distributed, so there was no need to speak out.
“Yes. 20 For 4,000. Congratulations.”
Plan’s three-dimensional paintings attracted the attention of Depeche wizards in that they captured the past, present, and future of the academy.
In particular, the multi-faceted approach in the process of shaping the ‘future’ drew not only interest but also admiration.
“This concludes the auction.”
A limited edition of the recording paper will be distributed to the successful bidders, and the auction has finally come to an end.
Rayleigh, the treasurer of the imperial family, one of the 20, nodded with a relieved face.
“It was very fierce, but is this enough?”
At the same time, I let out a sigh of relief. Since Dipesh is a communal society made entirely of magic, even the royal family could not preoccupy the auction items.
Still, there were benefits to the imperial family, such was the fact that you could stay in Dipesi for a total of 4 hours by adding 1 hour to 3 hours.
It was then.
“Yes. The appearance of the final transformation alone makes this record book great collectible.”
Someone next to him heard Rayleigh’s muttering. She was a woman with sunglasses covering her eyes, but the treasurer was used to it.
“The president of the Faculty of Magic…. Cornette?”
“Yes. You’re right.”
As the woman lifts her sunglasses up and shows them, the mysterious interior of the station is revealed.
Rayleigh greeted them warmly.
“I never thought I would run into the president here. It would have been fine if he had only been briefed by the Faculty of Magic, but he was willing to take a long step.”
“Ah, it wasn’t from the maintenance level.”
Cornette let out a laugh.
“I just genuinely like flan’s magic. I only visited because I wanted to buy a limited edition.”
She leans slightly and continues her words.
“However, it seems that the treasurer has also taken a very long step. You’ve worked hard.”
“Ah, the second princess ordered it. By all means, you should like this limited edition, but since it is a limited edition that even the president wants, I feel a little relieved.”
“This is too much praise. Well then, have a nice day.”
“Yes. See you again when the festival opens soon.”
Cornette’s footsteps stopped at the treasurer’s greeting. She turns around and asks back.
From noble mtl dot com
“A festival?”
“Come to think of it, I guess I didn’t know. Doesn’t the Faculty of Magic need funds to build a mage tower?”
“It’s embarrassing, but it is.”
“She said that the princess would open an arena for investors. There is nothing more than a festival.”
Rayleigh lifts the recording paper once and shows it.
“The reason why he is so generous is, of course, that he liked Plan’s three-dimensional paintings. There is no other reason whatsoever.”
“… The Faculty of Magic benefited from Plan again.”
A faint smile spread across Cornette’s face. Rayleigh looked at her and continued her story.
“To be honest, the story of the festival is a bit early. It’s because Plan visits the imperial palace in two days first.”
“That’s a story I know. To verify the records, there is a lecture on deciphering in two days.”
This, too, was surprising in hindsight.
Usually, the records that have been verified are sent out to the public, but Plan was in the process of being verified after creating a very big topic.
“Exactly.”
Rayleigh nodded her head.
“It’s a joy, but it’s also a scary thing. The interest of the second princess is a blessing and a disaster at the same time.”
“No. I will only think of it as a happy thing.”
Cornette smiled.
On the
Side, kiss the recording paper so that it makes a sound.
“Flan will do well this time too.”
◈
Two days later.
I arrived at the imperial palace safely.
Inside the waiting room next to the lecture room. The other representatives of the Faculty of Magic were looking very nervous.
“Woe, the people of the imperial family…. Is it okay for me to be with people like that… ?”
Becky drank countless cold water. Trixie narrowed her brows.
“Just stay still. Is that difficult?”
“It’s difficult….”
“Then are you going to run amok?”
“I’ll stay still… “
I dared to bring the representatives including Becky. The lecture on deciphering the records must have been a good learning for them as well.
Suddenly, Trixie’s eyes turned to me. She stares at every nook and cranny of my body.
“….”
When you move your lips as if you have something to say.
Smart─
Someone knocked on the door outside.
“Mr. Plan, please prepare a verification lecture.”
I got up quietly.
We arrived at the front of the lecture room after being guided by a government official. The gate is huge enough to be called a gateway.
Before entering, I spoke to the three wizards.
“You guys, don’t miss my explanation and listen.”
After confirming that they nodded, I entered the lecture room. A very large space. It was in the form of people sitting around me in a circle.
However.
Among them, the one that draws attention.
Someone glared at me from the front, with a gray screen in between.
Although it is hidden, the crescent moon-shaped eyes that shine golden are transmitted to me. It wasn’t just a verbal expression, it was actually shining.
I knew it instinctively.
She is her second princess, Aurora.
I calmly opened the record sheet.
“Let’s start solving.”
Trixie is sussong u out now kekekeke finallyyy
