Episode 264: VIP (2)

After the coronation ceremony, Verden lived in the royal castle, being treated as the highest honored guest.

I didn’t have any major injuries, but I needed some rest after a hard fight.

The main axis of the royal castle, whose mind had been taken over, did not have much doubt about Verden’s existence, and there was no problem with the procedure at all because of the influence of the Marquis of Esperensa.

‘They say Karans will come to the castle soon.’

The fate of the Guardian Elf, Karanth, is a matter of concern.

With Leonil dead, I couldn’t let him live in the kingdom like this. If done wrong, it could lead to problems between races.

Anyway, I heard that Calia and Ferne were going to accompany Karans, so there was no need to rest anywhere other than the royal castle.

Verden recovered a large amount of consumed mana in a luxurious facility.

Einver, who was slightly damaged with skin wounds, had already been restored.

His physical condition was so clean that he could not be considered the person responsible for causing the magic war to the extent of devastating the entire castle in the mental realm.

Verden, who was so tired, began to move.

While staying in the royal castle, there were several things to take care of.

* * *

Silis’s influence was particularly deeply permeated to the royal castle, Ethnoren.

From the King of Estyria, 1st Prince Balugna, and Chancellor Paloland to the butler and the servants who served. It touched the minds of all members in detail.

The Court Wizards and Royal Guard Knights were killed in the spirit realm.

Originally, the consciousness should have collapsed as it was, but Silis manipulated the mind directly instead of saving it by mitigating some of the damage.

The more he touched the deeper part of his consciousness, the stronger the resistance, but since his mental power was already infinitely weak, no one could oppose him.

Leonil and the upper court wizards died while possessing substance.

Therefore, it was impossible to restore it like the mental body, so its absence was unavoidable, but there was not a single person who doubted it enough to act.

All you have to do is make them believe that they were dispatched somewhere or simply didn’t encounter them.

It was easy to hide their deaths from the witch Silis.

‘In order not to feel even the slightest sense of incongruity in the changed landscape, imprint a false dream in your brain and make it confused with reality.’

Not just one or two, but many.

No matter how much the power of the artifact was borrowed, it was a wide-ranging and powerful spirit-type magic.

Even in the entire world, there must be very few people with this level of power.

a witch

I don’t know who named it that way, but it was definitely a name like that.

“Im here.”

The carriage stopped.

The coachman went outside through the door he had opened.

kingdom magic.

A huge building inhabited by court wizards fell in front of them.

The two court mages who came out to meet them groaned.

“Haha, welcome to the kingdom magic castle. I heard you———”

“Where is Leonil’s office?”

sudden question.

The court mage, startled, hurriedly answered.

“Ah, that, Sir Leonil is using the entire top floor. So it’s easy to find, but the inside is spacious and complicated, and some spaces have hidden magic circles to block intruders. It is very dangerous, so we will guide you directly.”

“Not required. I’ll go alone, so don’t disturb anyone.”

Verden passed the two and entered the magic castle.

The court mage, overwhelmed by his outspoken behavior and intimidating atmosphere, stared blankly at his back.

“Who is that person? I heard that you are the best VIP, but… … Judging from his age, he doesn’t seem to be a high-ranking aristocrat from another country.”

“It must have come from the Mage Tower. If not, how could you come to the magic castle? Besides, seeing that he treats His Excellency Leonil without hesitation, he must not be of a decent social status. He was given direct orders to do whatever the royal family asked for.”

“hmm… … Maybe he’s faking his looks and age with magic items. Anyway, I warned about the magic circle, and I said don’t interfere, so let’s not interfere anymore. Let the fire fly for no reason.”

The two court mages convinced themselves and withdrew.

Those who did not rise to the rank are wizards who have nothing to do with human experiments, and civil servants who work in the magic castle and receive salaries.

Curiosity that could be dangerous was a race that knew how to suppress.

* * *

Verden had one reason to visit Leonil’s office.

Finding and erasing data related to human experiments. It was a post-processing that had already been entrusted with direct permission from the Marquis of Esperenza.

damn

The hidden magic circle was destroyed after a few minutes.

There was a high-ranking magic circle that could blow up the entire office, but it didn’t interfere much.

Verden, who lightly blocked the threat like that, spread his magic.

The light of magical power permeates the entire office.

Right after that, with , the things he found were collected in one place without delay with . A simple yet difficult magical technique.

A myriad of information was flooded into my head, but my capacity was more than enough.

Then, they found a hidden safe.

The entire magic circle that acts as a lock was destroyed and the contents were pulled out.

In less than an hour, I packed all the documents in the office into a space bag. The office, which had lost its owner, was empty.

‘It’s over here.’

After finishing his business, Verden left the magic castle.

Then, he overturned the places related to Leonil, which he had identified in advance, and collected countless data. The collected information was brought into the castle, checked, and classified according to type.

If you burn them all, there might be important research data that is simple but unrelated to human experiments. He was very good at this kind of work because he had been getting tired of it in the Mage Tower.

Verden’s own classification task.

When it was almost over, a guest came.

“Heh heh, the strongest mage in the current kingdom doing paperwork. Even though you say you’ll do our work for us… … In many ways, I am ashamed of myself.”

Edmon, who was sitting across from him, scratched his cheek.

He looked perfectly fine, but he had crutches standing next to him.

Because the legs that made up the mental body were cut off and burned by Leonil, it seemed that even the legs in reality were not moving well.

He said it would take about 2-3 weeks of rehabilitation to get back to normal.

‘Even though there was no actual damage, the body felt that way.’

Could it be considered a kind of phantom pain?

It was the first time I had ever seen the concept of a mental body visually implemented, so it was just amazing in many ways.

“Shouldn’t you lie down a little longer?”

“It was enough to have one leg amputated, so long as I lay down for three days. Melzard was beaten so badly that he was still kicking himself. It’s because both of them lack mental strength compared to the Marquis.”

Edmon massaged his thighs.

As I repeatedly stimulated my tactile senses, I felt my senses gradually return.

Turning his head, he looked at the well-arranged experimental data. Edmon narrowed his brows as he partially focused on the content.

“… … Hierarchical amplification through the human heart. It is a mad idea.”

A terrible experiment secretly carried out by Leonil.

He even secured the core theory of processing the heart through the elf’s special magic circuit and connecting the heart to himself with the magic circuit of a person with a special trait.

Numerous people died before this idea came about, and after that, dozens of elves and more than ten people with special traits died.

In the research log recorded by Leonil himself, detailed numbers were recorded.

“To think that something like that has been going on unnoticed for decades… … It’s so embarrassing.”

Edmon lamented, revealing his bitter feelings.

“In that sense, Asher, you are truly remarkable. Doesn’t it appear as a mage without seeing it, isn’t it on the 6th tier? What a surprise I was when I saw you in the spirit realm. And above all… … The same goes for giving up ownership of the heart without hesitation.”

“I think Edmon-sama would have made the same choice.”

“Even so, I must have thought about it for a long time. Because I, a 5th tier mage, will become a 6th tier mage. No matter how much you try to keep ethics and goodness, it is difficult to give up easily a state that cannot be grasped.”

It’s not just wizards, it’s human nature.

The degree is different, but everyone has greed. Suppressing and controlling that desire was a lifelong homework.

In that sense, Verden deserved Edmon’s respect.

“Ah, but how much work is left? By the looks of it, it looks almost finished.”

Verden snapped his hand.

Pile on one side, Leonil’s masterpiece, which he had worked hard for his whole life, was quickly burned and disappeared.

“It just ended.”

“… … You are also very reckless. Hehe, then, if it’s okay, can I ask you a small favor? Of course, if you don’t have time, it doesn’t matter if you refuse. Because this is just my personal wish.”

it’s personal

“Tell me.”

“I want to discuss magic with you.”

Exchange of knowledge between mages is common.

One-way exchanges such as teachings or books, or two-way exchanges in which various opinions are presented and discussed on a magical question.

Sorcery, widespread among the masses, has developed that way.

“As you can see, I have acquired as much knowledge as I have lived for a long time. And you are young, but you have a genius that dares not compare with others.”

Enough to reach the transcendent of magic.

“The difference between the two of us is clear. The point of view is also different. That’s why I’m sure that the exchange of knowledge between each other will be a beneficial time. Even if it flows in a one-way flow… … . Asher, what do you think?”

Edmon’s proposal was unexpected.

But Verden couldn’t find any reason to refuse.

It didn’t take a long time, and it was just a part of taking a break in the royal castle.

For Verden, magic was everyday life itself.

“great. You do that. Instead, an hour a day.”

“Oh, really?! That’s enough! Then———”

Edmon smiled broadly and immediately brought up a highly advanced magical theory.

The notoriously difficult theory of multiple continuity among others. As an elemental mage, it was a perfect agenda for sharing various opinions.

But Edmon did not know.

That the man right in front of her was the creator of the Multiple Continuity Theory.

“uh?”

Edmon was literally smashed in the front.

one hour per day. The tower of knowledge about the theory of multiple continuity, which I had spent days interpreting and building myself up, collapsed.

Although it was less than the adventurer Gelton, who had been directly taught by Verden, the psychological shock was strong. Maybe more than what Leonil did.

Edmon suffered from a minor bout of depression in his old age.

In the meantime, Calia’s party came to the royal castle Esnoren.

* * *

“This is the royal castle Esnoren… … .”

Unlike Calia, who was born an aristocrat, Ferne and Karans were the first to enter the royal castle.

Ferne, a commoner and information merchant, looked around the hallway with admiration.

Elf Karans liked the fact that the human capital was surrounded by forests and that there were not too many people compared to its size.

Butcher Galiak remained in Loapra.

Injuries are also injuries, but he was not directly involved in the incident. So did Robert of Wintert.

Thus, two people and an elf entered the castle.

After having a late meal and relaxing their travels, they met Verden and Edmon in the best VIP room.

While saying hello, Calia tilted her head.

“Grandpa? It seems that your complexion is not good… … .”

“Oh, um, nothing, Miss Calia. Now, let’s sit down. I have something important to tell you.”

Edmon glanced at Verden and waved his hand.

After a while, everyone was seated with refreshments in front of them.

“So what do you mean by that?”

“Um, so… … .”

Edmon carefully listed the events of the past.

It was a matter that had already been approved by the Marquis.

Karans was the party, Ferne was the marquis’ helper, and Calia was the only daughter of the marquis. Crucially, she was well acquainted with Verden, so her qualifications were sufficient.

Of course, even the story of Silis and the witch.

It would be good to know as little as possible, but they wouldn’t be able to tease their mouth.

“… … That’s how it happened.”

As Edmon’s voice stopped, silence fell.

A Rubinellian duke, a princess, large-scale human experiments, and more. Because it was such a large-scale event, it was not easy to accept it with my head.

“Uh, uh… … .”

“The garbage that can’t be saved… … !”

Fernet was at a loss, and Calia crossed her arms and did not hide her dislike of the royal family. In the midst of that, Karanth released the Face of Deception.

When he revealed his true face, his unique and beautiful appearance was revealed.

“Brother… … How did that human named Leonil die?”

Verden remembered the end of Leonil.

A ghastly figure that had almost become a corpse came to mind.

To sum it up.

“Terrible.”

Karanth flinched and raised his head.

Soon, he licked his lips and smiled cheerfully.

“Very well done, brother!”

Clap clap clap clap!

Karanth clapped.

At the same time, the spirit blue also jumped out and blinked the light saying that it was good.

Karans was brought to the kingdom as an experimental material and suffered for a long time.

Fortunately, Verden saved his life, but the other elves did not survive.

An elf who values ​​community spirit.

The grudge against the people was very deep. The hatred was the same for Blue.

The reaction of the elves and spirits celebrating the death of a man.

Edmon felt bitter seeing him. Leonil, who had lived such a life, was just pathetic. He cleared his throat and ventilated his mood.

“In that sense, Karance, I have something to say to you.”

“What is it, a human mage?”

Attitude changed coldly.

I’m used to this kind of reaction now.

“Now that Leonil is gone, I’ve thought about your treatment. Well, to be honest, there was only one option. So, we intend to send you to the Great Forest.”

“… … ! Are you serious?!”

Karance’s eyes widened.

Edmon nodded, saying of course.

“Because you are a victim of suffering by the royal family. just wait a little bit I am currently looking for a way. Taking you directly into the Great Grove would be both dangerous and a journey too far. Please excuse me.”

“Hmm, well, good.”

Karance turned his head quickly.

To be able to return to the nostalgic Great Forest… … It was hard to hide my joy.

Then, Verden said.

“But what will the Spirit do? Will you take Blue with you on the way back to the Great Grove?”

Blue was a spirit that made a contract with Karans.

Although the connection has now been severed, it has not changed that they are companions. I wouldn’t know if it was nearby, but I had no choice but to be reluctant to part with Blue at all.

“hmm… … .”

Karans was deeply troubled.

Ferne hugged Blue, who was leaving in front of him. He didn’t want to break up like this because he listened to his affection.

“that… … It seems like a problem that needs to be discussed with Blue. Even that human woman named Ferne.”

Karans and Verden.

Receiving their gaze, Ferne was taken aback. Even so, he did not relax his arm that held Blue.

“You say so. Will you be okay?”

“Ah yes. One time between us… … Let’s talk. In a way that everyone can understand as much as possible.”

Ferne scratched his chin.

There was no room for Verden to intervene here. Blue’s future is a matter for the three of them to decide on their own.

In this way, the problem with Karans and Blue was half resolved.

At that moment, Calia cautiously opened her mouth.

“Asher, when are you leaving?”

“… … !”

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Verden, who drew attention, tapped his fingers.

Even Leonil, who was his last goal in the kingdom, could be taken care of, so he could leave right away, but he still had work to do and something to ponder.

It’s also a matter of how to get the huge funds in Grond’s safe.

It is ambiguous to set a date.

When Verden couldn’t answer easily, Calia asked again.

“Then can you tell me before you leave?”

whatever it is

I had no intention of disappearing without a word anyway.

“Well, yes.”

Verden affirmed.

It was only then that Calia smiled lightly.
