Taming The Villainesses chapter 188

(EP.188) #4 on the spot

188 – In their respective places #4

Hynax asked.

“… Have you ever opened that door?”

It was like blaming someone for doing something they shouldn’t have done.

“You. I saw-.” Should I say something like that?

So I kept my mouth shut because I thought I might have said something I couldn’t. But that ambiguous attitude was as if he had already said the correct answer.

“after-.”

Hynax let out a short sigh, and concluded briefly, “Okay, did you see it?” Then he looked around and gestured. Then, the windows and doors that had been open until recently were closed.

“Why are you closing the door?”

As I suddenly trembled slightly in an enclosed space, Hynax said as if reassuring me.

“The stories I will tell you in the future are stories that only seekers who have reached a certain level can tell. Tae Oh. I have to be honest. I’ll be honest too. Have you ever seen anything beyond the door?”

“I do not know. I don’t even know what I saw. So I came to ask the wise man.”

“Yeah, it will. It’s a pity, but Sir Tae Oh, neither I nor we know anything about it.”

“Is that really true?”

“Yeah, we all saw the same thing as we crossed the demonic wall. A sea like black ink. The gate, the other world and the throne beyond it. A strange thing sitting cross-legged on it… .”

The other world and the throne. A strange thing sitting cross-legged. I never explained it there.

However, looking at what Hynax said first, it was clear that he saw something similar to what I had seen.

It wasn’t just a dream either.

Hynax said.

“It is said that people look different depending on their qualities. In my case, I could barely see the hazy, tortuous figure cross-legged.”

“A blurry form… .”

“But the brown sage Brown said he saw countless eyes wriggling. Everyone sees it differently.”

I really understood

To me, his shape was very terrifying, but it looked vivid.

A cross-legged seat of living fire, as if many human bodies were twisted together. It looked so vivid that I wanted to ignore it.

Hynax continued.

“Black Mage, Sir Pelto heard his voice. A voice that constantly speaks in denial. A list of gloomy futures-. Sir Pelto must have gone mad because he looked into it too closely.”

I see It felt like a line was connected in my head. Sir Pelto was the most brilliant wizard, but he said he went crazy when he reached the 6th rank.

“Because he was the most outstanding, he became the most assimilated.”

His words are “destruction. chaos. Only negative words such as rape, arson-.” He was just parroting what he heard.

I felt like I could understand for sure why the heads of high-ranking wizards were thin. If so, has your child ever seen it?

Hynax said as I was pensive.

“You better keep what you saw a secret from everyone. Because it can cause some chaos in the world. We archmages keep the gate’s existence and what’s inside a secret.”

“Is that okay?”

“okay. This is the church’s decision. It’s a story that has already been signed with the saint and before that, with His Majesty the Holy Emperor. What we have seen must be kept secret except to those who have seen the door.”

How do you hide such a terrific thing? It was hard to understand with my head, but I understood with my heart.

That’s why I had to keep it a secret.

It seemed like he wanted to hide it from the world.

To think that there is a strange door somewhere in the world, and beyond that there is something so terrifying, murmuring all kinds of negative words, and people will not be able to live with anxiety.

At that time, Hynax added a word like a wedge.

“It’s weird. However, it is also true that it has a certain powerful power that makes our magic even deeper. So we decided to call it the truth.”

“Truth? I don’t think that name would fit very well… .”

“okay. right. But it must be someone you are familiar with who came up with this name. No one could name her more accurately than she, the most outstanding wizard in existence.”

It was as if black hair was fluttering in my head at those words.

Ira.

Because she never said anything like this to me.

Somehow, a shallow sense of betrayal for Aira slowly rose in me.

The policy itself makes it a secret from everyone, so it’s only natural that Aira hid that fact from me, who was a non-magic… .

As I was processing complex emotions, Hynax mumbled like a flowing word.

“Surely, Solomon must have seen it too. I wonder what he would have called it if he had given it a name.”

I didn’t know how the demon king Solomon gave it a name.

If I were to name it, it would probably be… .

Maybe the devil or something.

A training ground located in a corner of the arc.

─Air Bullet-!

I sang the most basic attack magic.

It was a magic that ejected small air bullets from the tip of the wand, and had the destructive power equivalent to a normal rifle bullet.

Paaang-!

However, my air bullet, which collided with the scarecrow at the training ground, was unable to penetrate the scarecrow’s waist, pierced a large hole and shattered it in half.

This is a complete cannonball. It feels like the power is doubled or tripled. The power has been greatly improved.

silkygoat was the goat. cry

Now even this magic can’t be used on humans.

Is this the skill of an Archmage who reached the 5th rank?

If even the most basic attack magic had been calibrated like this, I was expecting to see how powerful the other deadly magic would have been, but I was terribly afraid.

Pair, pair-.

Then, from afar, Hynax and his colleague, the wise men’s grandfathers, applauded.

“It’s a significant improvement. Tae-oh, if you are still young and talented, you will be able to grow to the point where you will never know the end.”

I took the towel from Hynax and wiped the sweat from my forehead while demonstrating a few magic tricks. Among the white towels, you can see the spirits smiling brightly.

– It’s great. If we keep going like this, we’ll be the best wizards among us.

– I hear that there will be more and more researchers who can explore the truth.

– Half-fairies will have a long lifespan, so one day you will surely be able to derive meaningful results.

The old wizards seemed to think that I would become an explorer for a new era.

What is that ‘truth’? And should I say that I am hoping that I will reveal where the door is located and how to get to it?

But I didn’t want to approach that bizarre live fire anymore.

They don’t seem to know very well because they only see blurry shapes, but what I saw was honestly not something I wanted to get close to.

“I wish you good luck in tomorrow’s duel, Sir Tae-oh. To be honest, I was a little worried, but if you have enough skills, it’s worth trying. Also, duels deepen the magic.”

“thank you.”

“And tell Kasim-kun to attend the wizards’ meetings as well. Even your queen.”

“All right.”

I went out into the streets as I was seen off by the old-fashioned wise men.

They were the wise men who thought they could get some answers, but they only had more questions.

Meanwhile, someone caught my eye.

“It’s a great development. Wow, you are indeed Tae-oh. The level of magic that surrounds your body is also different from what it was before.”

The woman who complimented me with a stuttering voice was a beautiful woman in a purple dress and high-heeled shoes. Professor Balan with abundant indigo hair hanging down.

I knew Professor Balan was watching my magic demonstration from the corner of the training ground. It seems I was waiting for my business to be finished.

“What are you doing?”

“Well, uh, there are a little bit of eyes and ears here… .”

Balan glances around.

He seems to be trying to tell a story that other people can’t.

So, I and Balan entered the narrow gap between the surrounding buildings. It was only when there were no people and only discarded garbage was lying around, Balaan spoke as if relieved.

“As Tae-oh said, we conducted an investigation.”

“What kind of investigation?”

“The hunter who tried to assassinate the queen this time. He asked me to investigate the existence of a strange guide in his party… .”

“Oh, it was. So, seeing that you have been waiting for me like this, it seems that you have had some success.”

Professor Balan laughed at my words.

“Indeed, that man in Tae-oh’s eyes. There was something suspicious. A very suspicious thing.”

From the looks of it, it seems that Professor Balan has made an achievement in his own way.

“If something is suspicious, what is it?”

When I asked in anticipation, Professor Balan said.

“That man, from morning to evening and from sleep. Ha, I repeat the same routine every single day.”

“… … .”

Aren’t you just an ordinary regular person?

Since such a sincere person was common in the world, it was a time when I wondered where I felt something suspicious.

“From the number of tomatoes you eat in the morning to the number of brushes you brush before going to bed in the evening. I am repeating a day that is pathologically fixed.”

“That’s a bit suspicious.”

“That’s right. Award. Boo, it’s obviously trying to hide something. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll never know.”

“It is so. I understood that very well.”

As I nodded, Professor Balan gave a faint smile of relief, as if he was happy.

“I, I just followed Tae-oh’s instructions. I’m glad it was helpful.”

I think it’s good that I affirm the information.

From Balaan’s point of view, would it be said that the worship was recognized by the king? Because when I get compliments from Ira, I feel a little bit better too.

So I asked Kim as I thought of it.

“Is there anything you would like to receive as a reward when your work is well done?”

“award… ?”

“That’s right. There must be a price for work. Give and take. It is an important law.”

“award… . For me, serving Tae-oh is already a reward in itself. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve again the bloodline of Angmar, which I thought had already been destroyed-.”

An oath of allegiance followed. Did you think I was taking a test to prove my loyalty?

“Then you mean you don’t have anything you want? Finally, let me ask you again. Whatever I can give, I can give it as a reward.”

Anyway, I asked one last time, just in case.

“Well, then… .”

Professor Balaan sighed as if he had something he wanted, and then cautiously spoke out.

“Then one imp… .”

“Imp?”

“Imps have been the helpers of demons since ancient times and good friends to run small errands. If there was an imp, it would be more efficient than now… .”

“Well-.”

“Sorry, I’m sorry. I’m asking too much-“

Professor Balaan was startled by my sleep and trembled.

As I am feeling now, she was more afraid of me, more difficult than necessary, and loyal at the same time.

It must be because my predecessor, Solomon, reigned with such a great and terrifying fear.

I shook my head.

“If it’s an imp, there are guys I know, so I’ll attach one. Instead, you’ll have to keep a lot of things secret from the Imps.”

Purpurna or Tartar should be enough.

“Go, thank you. Tae Oh. We will do our best to receive a proper reward.”

I said to Balan, who nodded his head.

“Then we’re going to let each other strengthen each other in their respective places.”

The sun was setting over my head.

Tomorrow, I will be able to prove in front of everyone what I have been working hard for.
