57. How to infiltrate the Magic Tower
57.
“I want to save it. Will save So that no one suffers anymore.”
Death Knight seemed to have vaguely realized something. It was a fragment of something that he felt in In the Central Continent. He could only stare blankly at Ecilia. The saintess smiled and raised her head to him. It was really like sunshine.
“Let’s go, driver. Break that motherfucker and bring us what we find.”
At that content, Zerpied couldn’t help but laugh.
Celia turned her head away with her swish. At her determined movement, her witches and her gnomes stared at her. In a voice befitting her movements, Ecelia whispered.
“Miss Serna, Mr. Voltry. Thank you so far. You helped us in Impeleir and guided us to where we are today. This is where the two of you made a promise. Now, let’s go into the Magic Tower by ourselves.”
The two were taken aback by the sudden farewell. But there was something else that puzzled the two more than that.
“Here is the money I promised.”
I turned Celia into her bosom and pulled out two gold coins from her. It was quite pure. Seeing this, the gnomes and witches opened their mouths.
“Hey, hey… ! Two gold coins… ! Too many… ! All I did was barely let you into the city… !”
“Serna is right. What we did wasn’t worth this much… !”
“Okay then.”
Cilia nodded her head at the words of the two. Seeing the action, the two sighed in relief. Like a couple, they had similar thoughts.
I didn’t want to suddenly break up with them like this. He is a person like someone I haven’t met in a long time besides them here. All the others are puppies who have no choice but to be dragged away or dragged away. The couple waited for Essilia to take out her proper amount.
The couple had the idea that they wanted to find fault with whatever the amount was, and let them at least go inside the Mage Tower. However, Ecilia’s behavior was the exact opposite. The saintess put her two gold coins into her bosom and crossed her arms. Then she looked up at her couple with determined eyes.
“If you don’t take it, I won’t give you money.”
“What?”
“No… ! Miss Gemini… !”
“Choose, take this gold coin or not. If you say take, I will give, and if you say no, I will not give.”
In effect, it was a forced choice. At her saintess’ words, Serna put her hand on her forehead and let out a sigh.
“… Ok, i’ll take it Instead, I’ll let you go inside the magic tower. It’s too much to get paid this much just for letting me get into the city.”
“No. The roles of the two of you end here. Did you receive the gold coins and only go so far, or did you not receive them? The two of you have to do one of two things.”
“Hey, you… ! Really like this… !”
Esilia didn’t say anything. She just crossed her arms, and she just stared at the two of them. That was all. But strangely, the two couldn’t refute any more. Finally Serna sighed and nodded her head.
“… Yes, I understand.”
Then Celia untied her arms and placed two gold coins in Serna’s hand. Serna stared blankly at the gold coins, then asked Esilia.
“… How do you plan to enter the Magic Tower?”
“That is a matter for us to figure out. The two of you have only one thing to do. With this money, go to a good place to live, decorate the house beautifully, have children, and live a happy life.”
Serna and Voltley looked a bit ridiculous when they heard that. But soon, they sighed and smiled.
“… I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had a conversation like this with a person. He was always hiding.”
“… Yes?”
“The reason why I couldn’t leave Impeller was for a reason. I’m a wizard, I mean, I’m a kind of people who live by research. Reagents and materials flowing into the magic tower. I need to get it three times so that I can get a sense of it and still get some level of safety. But in return, my memories of talking to anyone other than my love are now hazy. Therefore.”
The witch smiled. She looked at her saintess with her scarlet eyes, drawing her arc.
“Let me tell you how to enter the Magic Tower. Are you okay with that? Yes?”
The saintess opened her eyes wide and saw her witch’s smile. Then, the saintess smiled at the witch while drawing arcs with her eyes.
“Sure.”
The witch laughed out loud.
“Okay! Then….”
The plan Serna told me was simpler than she thought. However, she carried a certain amount of risk. According to Serna, of course, there is no way to openly enter the Mage Tower. However, there was no gap through which one could enter the building like a window.
The Mage Tower does not want to leak what is happening inside. Then there are only two ways left. Enter as a ‘supplier’ who provides materials and specimens to the Mage Tower, or as a ‘experimental subject’ provided by the supplier. Among them, the method proposed by the couple was the latter.
“Isn’t that too dangerous?”
Hiding in the shadows of the nearby alley walls, Zerfied asked a serious question. Vol Tree nodded in understanding and scratched the back of his head.
“I know…. However, the Mage Tower’s surveillance system is more powerful than I thought. It’s too big to be discovered unless you go in this way.”
Zerpied tilted his head emphatically. It was an understandable way, but I didn’t particularly like it. The place they are now infiltrating is where wizards of considerable skill are located. Some unexpected variables may arise. I wanted to avoid anything that could endanger Lady as much as possible.
“Is this a possibility?”
“It’s better than just trying to get in. Since the ‘suppliers’ are factionally divided, there is less surveillance in the entry itself with diverted eyes. After entering, there is another discrimination inside the Mage Tower, but that process is a problem. Because I don’t trust the ‘supplier’ guys. The important thing is that they will judge for themselves.”
“You look like a wizard.”
The Death Knight nodded. Indeed, it was the arrogance of knowing only oneself like a wizard. Serna giggled and agreed.
“That’s right, like spellcasters.”
Zerpied was taken aback by those words. She never thought that a witch would use that word for her sorcerer. Serna continued her explanation as if she was no big deal.
“When I was in the Mage Tower, first of all, I gathered the test subjects that came in in one place. I’m going to try to differentiate it myself at the magic tower. But this doesn’t happen right away. Does it take some time? Until then, leave it to the ‘suppliers’ to keep an eye on it. This is your only chance. I will send you into a faction with as little surveillance as possible, so the moment you enter the Mage Tower, use that gap to escape and infiltrate.”
“Wait, are you letting me in?”
Esilia whispered in bewilderment. She clearly said that her couple promised to inform them, not to help them. Serna cursed her spitting habit in her own mind, she hurriedly evasive.
“No, so… to tell you I’ll tell you about that faction, so hide well and then come out and infiltrate.”
Celia looked at her witch with her questioning eyes. But before the saintess could say anything, the escort knight shook her head.
“I’m sure it won’t work. The risk seems too great. Is there any other way?”
“Uh… It’s actually difficult to break in from the outside in the first place, and those are the only two methods I know of. If it is difficult to enter the ‘test subject’, it is only to enter the ‘supplier’. But I can’t get a sign right now….”
At the word “Mark,” Zerpied’s head slowly turned. As if pondering for a moment, he blinked his eyes a few times and rummaged through his backpack. Something in his backpack came out of his hand. It was a note. Seeing this, Esilia’s eyes widened. A note taken after removing the intruder from Charcot. And there…….
“… Where did you get this from?”
Serna checked the note in her hand over and over again. She saw it when she was in her mage’s tower, and it was a note marked with the mark of the unmistakable ‘supplier’. That, too, was in charge of contacting. It was at the end, but rather, it was more appropriate for the current situation because it was at the end. If the rank is high, the face is exposed.
“I got it by accident.”
“Do fortress knights learn wizards’ maxims and carry suppliers’ marks over their shoulders?”
Looking at the knight in front of her, who boasted considerable cunning, Serna had a hard time hiding her doubts rising. But this gigantic knight just said nothing and she just looked at herself. Serna smiled at the knight who responded with her silence.
She herself was a wizard. The important thing for a wizard is himself and his research. And to her, her beloved husband is everything. Others don’t matter. She didn’t ask anymore.
“Okay then, you guys infiltrate the Mage Tower as suppliers from now on. There is a risk of being caught if you are the one supplying the ‘test subject’, so I will go as a material supplier. We will get the materials and give them to you. You’re not going to stop me from doing this, miss? If I don’t bring you the ingredients, how will you get into the Mage Tower? You are not a wizard Do you know anything about magic ingredients?”
Celia was about to refute Serna’s words, but her young witch put her hands on her hips and looked at her saintess triumphantly. Ecilia wanted to refute her reasonable words, but she had nothing in particular in mind. With a sigh, she had to agree with her witch.
“… Great. But if it’s too dangerous or….”
“I used to live here? Who cares about whom now? Please wait here quietly. Rather, you guys are the most dangerous people.”
Serna pulled back her robes with a confident smile before she took her husband and disappeared into another alley.
