Episode 1388. God come quickly
The place Elio headed to was the Tabula Magic Tower.
The guard who recognized him opened the door without making a sound.
It was dark, but it was only 5 o’clock.
The inside of the Magic Tower was bright as day, with lights using mana stones in each hallway.
After a while, the guide waiting on the first floor led him to the magic engineering laboratory on the sixth floor.
After darkness fell, the magic engineering lab was crowded with magic engineers, unlike a city with no people.
Count Kaby Crazer, the head of the laboratory who discovered Elio, rushed over.
“Your Excellency Count Lagoa.”
He didn’t dare ask what was going on and just rolled his eyes.
I was even more careful because I knew that the tower owner had run away from him.
Elio first looked around at the magic engineers.
As expected, there was no Megistus.
“I heard that a magic engineer named Megistus is in the Tabula Magic Tower.”
For a moment, relief appeared in Count Kavi Crazer’s eyes.
This is because he realized that he had not come to ask for his sins.
“Are you looking for Megistus?”
“yes.”
“He has been conducting experiments outside for over ten years.”
“I heard that they discovered an ancient magic laboratory and live there.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Do you know where the ancient magic laboratory is?”
“Wizards never reveal their private laboratories to others.”
That was true.
The wizard’s experiments did not discriminate between legal and illegal.
As a result, the wizard kept his personal laboratory a secret until his death.
“Is there a magic engineer who is close to Megistus?”
“There is probably no one closer than me.”
“If the director doesn’t know, it would be useless to ask other magic engineers.”
“That’s right.”
“How do I meet Megistus?”
Elio gazed at Count Cavy Crazer.
I already knew this from the tower owner, but I asked just to confirm.
“He comes once a month to report on the work situation. “There is research entrusted to him at our horse engineering research institute.”
Elio knew it was because of the Soul Stone, but he didn’t dig into it.
This is because the purpose is not to study him, but to meet him.
“okay. When can I come and meet him?”
“It usually arrives at the end of the month or at the beginning of the month at the latest, so it should arrive within three or four days.”
“All right. I’ll come back then. Don’t tell Megistus that I came to see him. “You know what I mean, right?”
Count Kavi Crazer shrugged his shoulders at Count Lagoa’s cold gaze.
“Yes, but can you tell me what you are looking for him for?”
“It’s a personal matter, so don’t bother to find out.”
“Oh, yes.”
Count Kavi Crazer thought, ‘It looks like Count Lagoa is trying to request something from Megistus.’
Otherwise, there would be no reason to secretly search for a magic engineer.
Elio gave the lab director another warning and turned around.
Count Kavi Crazer, who had been groveling, began to complain as soon as Count Lagoa left.
“You go to the magic tower for personal reasons. I think the Magic Tower is a place where there is nothing to do. Since the owner of the tower is not there, dogs and cows come and go as if they were his own house.”
Of course, I’m saying this for no reason because I’m embarrassed to be groveling.
***
Fabian said as Elio returned to the dorm and sat blankly by the window.
“I guess you didn’t show up today?”
“uh.”
“Don’t be too disappointed. It will appear within three or four days. Are you saying I have to hand over the Soul Stone or something to the Tabula Magic Tower?”
“Suddenly things are going smoothly, so I’m wondering if I’m making a mistake.”
“Are you feeling sober? How much trouble did we have to find the sacred place of chaos? Count Omar, Howard, and Crea are still investigating the Southern Kingdom. “After the hard work of many people, we finally got here.”
“is it?”
“Is that so? “Please do not doubt the efforts of Count Lagoa and all of us.”
“And what if Megistus is not the vanguard of chaos?”
“Or we have to go looking for the real thing again. “You’re not going to give up, are you?”
Elio chuckled at those words.
“Yes, you are right. Otherwise, you can find it again.”
“But I feel like Megistus is at the forefront of chaos.”
“really?”
“I’m sure. Think about what is intensifying this war. Aren’t they all magic tower techniques? I believe that the vanguard of chaos is hiding in the Magic Tower.”
“It’s the same… … .”
Elio trailed off.
He tried not to get excited.
There is nothing more frustrating than when expectations are violated.
At that time, someone knocked on the door.
Elio and Fabian looked at each other with puzzled faces.
Who is coming this night?
Fabian suddenly checked the time and stood up with a embarrassed look on his face.
“It’s only 6 o’clock. “It was so dark I thought it was 12 o’clock at night.”
Soon after, he opened the door and the inn manager held out something and said.
“A little while ago, a man left me to deliver this to Baron Cloud.”
What was in the manager’s hand was a sealed letter.
Fabian, who received the letter, did not move from his spot for a long time.
Elio, who was worse off, said something.
“Aren’t you reading?”
“I’m too scared to open it.”
“Do you still have any regrets about Lord Sarah?”
“It’s not like that… … “My heart is shaking.”
“Shall I read it to you?”
“I want to do that too, but… … . “I feel like this is something I should do.”
Finally, Fabian carefully cut the seal with a dagger.
However, he could not bring himself to take out the contents.
“Stop shaking and take a quick look. “I’m curious too.”
Fabian, who was standing in a daze and fiddling with the letter, seemed to have made up his mind and took out the contents.
Elio looked at Fabian’s face.
However, it was difficult to guess the content of the letter just by looking at the expression.
After a while, Fabian said, ‘Ha!’ And he let out a long exhalation.
Elio pretended it was no big deal.
“So what do you say? Will you forgive me? “Are we never going to meet again?”
“I would forgive you if you could only love yourself for the rest of your life. “If you don’t have the confidence to do so, don’t appear in front of me.”
“He’s a good person. So what do you want to do?”
“I do not know.”
“I don’t know? “Is it because I don’t know about my cheating?”
“Honestly, I thought Lord Sarah had forgotten about me too. So she was able to meet other women.”
“What are you talking about? So you’re saying you like Lord Serra? “Are you saying you don’t like it?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it. However, I don’t know if my feelings are due to guilt or because I still have feelings for Lord Sarah… … . “I don’t know that.”
“There is a saying in my hometown: The space between people is like a path in the forest. “If you don’t come and go often, you’ll get buried in the weeds.”
“Is love enough to be buried in weeds?”
“Well, you’ll know when you pull up the weeds. “Is it love or guilt?”
Fabian, who had been silent for a while, spoke in a resolute tone.
“I think I should return to the Escatos Kingdom Army.”
“Well thought out. “A knight of the Kingdom of Escatos must not turn a blind eye to the crisis in the kingdom.”
It was better for Fabian to return to the Escatos Kingdom army in case he inherited his territory in the future.
“I wanted to serve the Count until the end… … . sorry.”
“are you okay. You’ve had a hard time following me around. Don’t die. “If you die, there will be no one to pass on my territory to later.”
“Don’t worry. Do you think I, who survived the Sky Castle and the Abyss, will die on the Northern Front? “Please don’t go back to your hometown without telling me, Count.”
“I’m not that loyal a person. “I’m going to have a farewell party before I leave.”
Fabian laughed heartily at Count Lagoa’s foolish joke.
next day.
After finishing breakfast, Fabian left the inn with Elio seeing him off.
Elio went to the window of the accommodation again and watched the Tabula Magic Tower.
Being left alone reminded me of the experiences I had when I first came to Hirhera.
There were meetings with many people, including Fabian.
Some of them became enemies, and some became good friends.
Although he was said to be from the upper world, he was no different from Gangho, who was from the lower world.
Looking back, the Savior’s life was also like that.
Then, I don’t know why there is a need to distinguish between the lower world and the upper world.
‘Maybe struggle is the fate of living things… … .’
A wise Namgung Yeon would know the perfect answer to that question, but he was a little frustrated because he was only guessing like touching a blind elephant.
I watched the Tabula Magic Tower all day, but Megistus did not come.
Another day passed, and another day passed.
As five days passed, Elio slowly became anxious.
But there was nothing he could do other than ‘wait’.
‘Let’s see who wins.’
Elio decided to ignore the date and just wait.
Perhaps, as the war intensified, problems arose in the production of Soul Stones.
Goliath is a major axis of the Empire’s military power.
Even if it was late, Megistus would appear at the Tabula Magic Tower with the Soul Stone.
***
Somewhere in imperial territory.
At that time, Megistus was secretly meeting with the person in charge of Thrano Kobolorum (the black goblin).
“The number of wild people is ridiculously insufficient. “Why don’t you keep your promise?”
Megistus glared at the middle-aged man with cold eyes.
When the soul of a living being is placed in a special crystal made through alchemy, it becomes a Soul Stone.
Soul stones were initially made using beasts.
Then, due to limitations in intelligence, they were replaced with beastmen, but the beastmen were difficult to capture.
Although it is difficult to find a village of beastmen, their fighting skills are excellent and they cause great damage.
Compared to beastmen, wildmen were not difficult to capture.
This is because the Yain village was relatively widely known and its fighting power was minimal.
Grayzone, a middle-aged man, spoke as if making an excuse.
“Grand Wizard, there is nothing we can do. All borders of the imperial territory are blocked… … Even if you catch a wild beast, you cannot transport it. Like now, one or two people can be brought in hidden… … . “Any number beyond that is unreasonable.”
For some reason, Gray Zone had a hard time calling the magic engineer Megistus an archmage.
“Shut up! Whether you give money to the border guards or threaten them, that’s up to you. Supply the wildlings as before. If we don’t reach 10 people within three days… … . “You guys will fill the empty seats.”
“Well, that’s… … .”
“What is that? “Do you think I can’t do it?”
Megistus looked at Gray Zone with shiny eyes like a snake.
Grayzone, who was turning white with fear, managed to say.
“Ha, I will.”
“Well thought out.”
Megistus waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
Grayzone jumped up from his seat, bowed violently, bowed, and then took a step back.
Megistus, left alone in the room, clicked his tongue and muttered.
“Tsk tsk! “I’m starting to get nagging for no reason because of these timid people.”
The Soul Stone was brought to me at the beginning of the month at the latest, but seven days have already passed.
If ten wild men are received three days later, it will take fifteen days for the promised amount of soul stones to be created.
That’s a whopping 15 days later than usual.
Megistus, who was shaking his head, suddenly looked up at the sky.
It’s only 3 p.m., but it’s already getting dark.
“Isand Thule Barsti.”
It was a saying in the Demon language, ‘God, come quickly.’
