Chapter 497
Episode 497 Quest (2)
Sometimes there are people who overwhelm people with just their eyes and presence.
That was the case with Mage Lord Tesulon Lengman Kealunas.
“Other tower lord…!”
He is around 170 cm tall.
The body is a typical secret magician, and his skin is full of wrinkles because he is old.
To be honest, if it weren’t for that cane that reached up to my shoulder, I would believe that he was just an ordinary old man walking down the street.
Turbuck.
However, no one, including the warriors, could speak hastily until he came down all the stairs and stood in the lobby on the floor.
At least one look in his eyes was corrected for his age, and his eyes were sharp, but that was not the reason.
Even the warriors felt it instinctively.
wizards and warriors.
Even if each other’s territory is different, it is the other side that stands in the position of the strong.
“Baron Bjorn Yandel.”
Soon after stepping on the last stairway, the tower master looked at me for a while before opening his mouth.
“Really, he’s the person your brother said. Nice to meet you.”
It was a slightly unexpected first greeting.
The owner of the Mage Tower reacted like that when he saw the barbarians who invaded the Mage Tower. I thought it was natural to hear people say he was crazy or something.
Turbuck.
As I took a big step and narrowed the distance, the tower master stepped back that much.
Thanks to that, it became clear that Gingamin was going on.
‘It’s intentionally out of range.’
Now, the Master of the Magic Tower is conscious of the ‘trust misplaced’ and does not come within the radius.
But I pretended not to notice and opened my mouth.
“Well, I can’t say I’m glad. I’m interrogating traitors.”
When he said it with his hostility intact, the Master of the Magic Tower laughed.
“Let’s put our emotions aside for a moment and have a frank conversation. How is it?”
A relaxed voice, as if he had the initiative.
‘The candid discussion is a piece of shit.’
Do you know this grandpa?
If you do that for no reason, as a barbarian, the tree frog symbol will only grow.
“Rejection! Like I said earlier, I’m busy interrogating treasonists!”
“But the baron knows that they won’t say anything once I arrive.”
sure it is
From the moment this old man arrived, the eyes of the three captive wizards were filled with hopeful determination.
‘If things don’t work out, I tried to threaten them with force, but since that old man came, that doesn’t seem to work…
‘
Soon I made a decision.
“If there’s something you want to say, say it.”
“Will you pass it on to the people first?”
“Only warriors. But not Marco.”
“When you say Marco, do you mean that friend?”
Marco, who was filming hard, flinched at the sight of the magic tower.
Well, it’s scary to see someone in power like that.
“The royal family has the right to know about everything that happened here.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“Are you trying to deny this?”
“It could be so. As one of the people who live in this city, I have no intention of interfering with the work of the royal family. But…” The
Master of the Magic Tower paused and glanced at Marco once more.
and that moment.
pop-!
“Ooh wow!”
The crystal ball shattered and Marco hit his butt.
“Let’s see if something like that happened.”
Yes, it comes out like this, right?
“I bought it at the Mage Tower, but it must have been defective.”
“A magical device is a structure that is bound to come out unstable no matter how much effort is put into it. However, I apologize on behalf of the Mage Tower. If you tell me where to buy it later, I will give you some new ones.”
hey that’s fun this grandpa.
“Take everyone down, including Einar Marco.”
“Are you okay…?”
As I nodded slightly and glanced at him, Ainar led the warriors downstairs.
And…
“You guys should go to sleep for a while.”
The three wizards who were kneeling fell to the floor at the same time.
It was a very basic sleep magic.
So, there are only two left in the hall.
“Now then, try it. After sending everyone out, what did you want to say to me?”
“I’m running out of time, so I’ll be brief.”
Saying that, the Magic Tower Master took three steps and stepped into the radius of ‘Misaligned Trust’.
and looked at me and said
“The Magic Tower will ban all research using the ‘Barbarian Heart’ from today. If you are caught researching in violation of this, it means that you will be considered as dealing with forbidden magic and punished.”
“and?”
“Those who tried to get hearts from the black market will also be punished.”
“What kind of punishment?”
“They won’t be able to go around saying that they are wizards belonging to the Mage Tower anymore.”
In simple terms, it means that you will be fired.
“The baron may consider it a weak punishment, but please know that it is the limit for this level of guilt.”
The magic tower owner said it as if to persuade me, but in fact, I was satisfied enough even if it was this much.
Treason and all that was said to exaggerate the crime, but there was no way that would be acknowledged.
“Of course, if you try to obtain a barbarian heart through the black market next time, the weight of the crime itself will be different. You are trying to obtain a strictly forbidden item.”
Okay, the follow-up measures are also certain.
“and?”
“Today, I will not take issue with the incident of illegally entering and occupying the Mage Tower. The baron only visited to reprimand him severely, and the Mage Tower acknowledged its mistake and corrected the matter, and was forgiven. It will be known to the public as such. ”
I was speechless for a moment.
Even knowing that he couldn’t lie because of ‘missing trust’, this question popped up on his own.
“……Are you serious?”
What this old man said just now is tantamount to officially admitting that the Mage Tower was defeated by the Barbarians.
But…
“I’m serious.”
Feelings of sadness were stronger than feelings of joy.
Because nothing is free in this world.
“So what do you want from me in return?”
When I asked straight-forward like a barbarian, the master of the magic tower named one person.
“Master of the Triten School, Lurendel Galinbarrett.”
The very wizard who put the request to want my heart on the black market.
“Clear all charges against her.”
For some reason, the story about this woman was missing.
After thinking for a while, I asked.
“Is that woman worth that much?”
“She is a very good magician. Although she was blinded by greed for a moment and had reckless thoughts, I have no doubt that her research will bring about a great change in the world someday.”
believe it no doubt.
As you can see, there is more reason.
‘It’s Lurendel Garlin Barrett… It may have been a bigger fish than I thought…’
Anyway, I think this woman can ask Amelia to investigate later.
“How do you like it? My proposal? Now I would like to hear your answer.”
“Okay. I’ll follow your suggestion.”
I’m done negotiating at this point.
It’s a pity to let go of the woman who was after my heart, but even considering that, I got more than I hoped for, so I had no reason to be greedy.
But I wonder if he was anxious over there?
“Now then, we have no ill feelings?”
The Magic Tower Master began to look at me gently.
He must be trying to take advantage of the situation in which misplaced trust is in play to get a glimpse of my true intentions.
“So you? Don’t you have any ill feelings toward me?”
When I avoided answering and asked the question in reverse, the magic tower owner surprisingly willingly opened her mouth to answer.
“I have no ill feelings towards the baron. It has been like that from the beginning. As the head of a race, the baron is just doing what a baron is supposed to do, isn’t it?”
It’s a business mindset.
Anyway, it’s coming this far, and it seems difficult to refuse an answer.
It won’t be good for me either.
“Then can we listen to the Baron’s honest feelings now?”
It’s an honest heart…….
“It would be a lie if I said I had no ill feelings. In the meantime, countless people have died in the labyrinth because of their hearts. Of course I hate you guys. But…!”
I blurted out the tail of my horse and turned my wrist so that I couldn’t see the compass point of ‘Misaligned Trust’.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t touch it, we won’t be attacking the Mage Tower!”
It was a trick that could only be used when I was the one using the ‘displaced trust’.
“Above all, you seem like a better guy than I thought!”
When I lie, it doesn’t work.
***
Nothing happened after that.
Soon after, Wang Ga-kun arrived at the floor we were on, and I was very surprised to see the baron of a country and the owner of the magic tower in a confrontation.
However, the situation was sorted out when the Master of the Magic Tower stepped forward and defended me, saying that the cause of responsibility was on them.
“So… you mean that Lord Kealunus asked for forgiveness and Baron Yandel accepted it?”
“That’s right.”
The commanding officer, who was born in the military, seemed incredulous at all, but he did not inquire deeply.
It doesn’t matter what deal was between the two of us.
From the royal family’s point of view, it was something they could endure for ten years just to have it end well without escalating into a bigger conflict.
“One thing! Hurry up and organize it!”
The military disbanded everyone, including barbarians, and the master of the mage tower handed over 36 mages suspected of having contact with the black market to Mozlan.
“But it seems that there is no wizard among them who wanted the baron’s heart?”
If contact with the black market was a misdemeanor, the assassination of an aristocrat was a felony, starting with hanging.
However, it was very easy to get rid of the charges.
“Oh that? After thinking about it, I can’t remember if the name is correct. It could be confusing, but you can’t arrest a strict person. I’ll tell you properly later when I remember.”
“…All right.”
Master of the Triten School, Lurendel Galinbarrett.
The royal inspector seemed to have noticed that she was the key to this deal, but this time too, she didn’t say anything.
Again, they weren’t interested in that.
“Really… I’m glad it ended well. Oh, and Baron Yandel caused a clash of more than a thousand people in the city without permission from the royal family. You will have no choice but to pay a fine, albeit informally. Just that… I would like you to give me some.”
Afterwards, the military said so almost as if pleading, and left the mage tower with the wizards.
So now it’s my turn to leave here.
“If their crimes are confirmed, I will definitely punish them as I said, so don’t worry, Baron.”
“Okay, then I’ll go. I’m hungry.”
Afterwards, he tried to return home immediately, but was caught by Einar, who was waiting in front of him, and taken to the Holy Land.
coo-! coo-! coo-!
The Holy Land was already in full swing celebrating the victory. The tribe did not prepare anything, but the warriors danced and sang as they drank the alcohol they brought with them like water.
It’s bigger than any other festival I’ve ever seen.
It seemed that all the barbarians scattered across the city had come to the Holy Land.
“Bjorn!”
“The chief of the tribe.”
“Chief! Say something! Isn’t everyone waiting!”
When the time was ripe, Einar pushed his back and had to recite a congratulatory speech.
Oh, of course, it wasn’t long because it was a barbarian style.
“We—!!”
“Uhhh!”
“We won—!! ” ” “Bethel-
Raaaaaa
Ah
!!
I ordered Charon to ‘fellowships’ to spread the real estate story to the tribe members, and they did a great job throughout the festival
. Victory is not the end with just one victory!”
“Our tribe will prosper even more and the price of houses will skyrocket!” “The only ones
not buying now are foolish warriors!”
“What? You’re going to collect magic stones and change your weapon? What time is it, so when should I buy a new weapon?”
This should be a big help for the real estate policy.
After enjoying the festival to some extent, I secretly left the Holy Land and returned home.
Amelia was sitting on the sofa in the dark living room.
“Yandel.”
“… Huh?”
” Did you get a disease that
doesn’t go away quietly for a day?”
This is him.
Why?
After thinking about it, the answer came right away.
“I’m sorry. I did things on my own without consulting you.”
Amelia’s expression softened as if the answer was correct.
“………I know.”
“Huh? Did you just laugh?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You laughed! Did I just see it?”
“…Don’t slander.”
What about slander
? As we sat down on the sofa with a smile
, Amelia
said casually
. But he answered honestly,
“Oh. ” Very much.”
Amelia nodded.
“That’s good.
”
Rubbing his eyes, he came down and chatted with them.
And the next morning,
“I am Bjorn…”
The long-awaited guest came.
