115 – Leonard Liantour – (5)

“Huh… ….”

The man who was fiddling with the paper let out a small sigh.

The man muttered as he brushed his long, dark blue hair.

“This is embarrassing. Why did the spirits come to this point?”

What the man was holding was research data on the fallen spirits that have been making noise in High Linx lately.

Of course, as for the cause, we still haven’t been able to show any results.

That was bringing even more stress to him.

“Sorry. There is only one scholar in our Magic Tower who wants to study this phenomenon, so it will take some time before we can make any meaningful progress.”

An aide looking at him said, lowering his head.

Even though the situation is at this point, are you saying that these wizards are only taking care of themselves?

As expected, those who walked the magic were all shrewd people. Including myself.

The man sighed and waved his hands.

“Okay. I can’t help it. First of all, tell the affiliated scholars to connect with nearby mage towers and investigate the cause as soon as possible. I will write a letter to the owner of the Damcheong Magic Tower right next to him, so please pass it on.”

“Well, there is one thing you should know… ….”

“What else?”

“An official letter was sent just yesterday that the Grand Duke Hwanggeum had started an independent study on this issue.”

“…… What?”

“Anyway, if you step in, you won’t get an eye stamp from the grand duke…….”

At the words of the magician close to him, the man let out a sigh and patted his cheek.

The fact that they had to go through the trouble of sending official documents was also an implicit pressure not to pay attention to this issue.

“This is the worst. The situation is so serious.”

“It is said that research is being conducted in the capital, so it seems that the truth will be announced soon.”

“Before that, I thought that my district would become a mess. More than half of the magical plants that were cultivated are dying due to the attack of the spirits.”

“Sorry.”

“Huh, no. What is the sin of that one? I don’t understand why even though he’s a grand duke, he restricts the rights of mages so much.”

However, not understanding just because you don’t understand is another matter.

Golden Grand Duke. An Archmage and the legitimate ruler of High Linx. Dominating High Linx had a great meaning in the magical world.

Magic Tower, the primary research facility for magic. As many as ten of the thirteen magic towers on the continent were located in High Linx, so ruling this land was like having almost all the magic towers on the continent under your command.

That’s why all the magic towers located in High Linx viewed the golden prince’s horse as equal to the emperor. Otherwise, you won’t be able to set foot on this blessed land and live.

And that was no exception even for the mage tower owner.

“Ha ha. I can’t help it. It would be better to wait for the Grand Duke of Gold to act.”

Sinclair, the white mage lord, the wizard of frost, dismissed it as such.

The entourage also agreed with the order by bowing their heads.

Soon after the aides left, Sinclair, who was left alone in the private room on the top floor of the Magic Tower, leaned back on the sofa.

“What should I do now?”

The fall of the spirits.

It was a problem that emerged only a few days ago in the magic world of High Linx.

The point was that the number of spirits encroached upon by strange powers had increased dramatically. In fact, even in the private lands of the White Magic Tower under Sinclair’s jurisdiction, attacks by spirits were frequent, and residents would file appeals.

At first, it was judged to be a minor problem simply because the newly ascended emperor of Irn had not yet undergone a coming-of-age ceremony. It is said that the power of the outer dimension passing through the cracks created by the emperor’s absence is encroaching on the spirits.

However, it was only now that even higher level spirits were being corrupted, so the wizards realized the seriousness of the situation.

Now the situation is obviously strange.

“Some unknown forces are at work…… You should see it. Is it a natural phenomenon or a man-made trick?”

The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, a group seeking to overthrow this world, a foreign denomination.

But Sinclair shook his head.

“You seem to be thinking too badly.”

No matter what Sinclair did, he assumed the worst.

This was a bad habit I developed while studying magic.

And how long has it been?

Jumping.

Behind him as he searched for the best possible number of cases, the closed door opened wide again.

When he turned around, the magician he had left earlier was in front of him again.

“John? What else is going on here?”

He asked, and Yohan, an aide, cautiously opened his mouth.

“That, Mage Tower Lord.”

It was unusual to see the aides talking hesitantly.

Other bad news, Sinclair was able to infer.

“…… Ha. Is it so. What happened again this time?”

“A visitor came to the Magic Tower.”

“You mean the guest?”

“Yes. He said he came to see the Tower Lord…… , He told me to come down and deliver it.”

Who the hell is it to tell the owner of the Mage Tower to go this way and that way?

There weren’t many people who could afford such rudeness to Sinclair.

“So who is that?”

“That… ….”

John reluctantly continued.

“This is the Grand Duchess.”

“What the f*ck.”

Sinclair took his curse into his mouth.

It was unusual for him to be polite in everything.

It took about two days to reach the White Magic Tower.

Fortunately, this time it wasn’t carried like luggage. It was thanks to Seira for hiring a suitable carriage for her.

It was a moment when I could understand her feelings of wanting to bring Millia to Highlings so much.

Certainly, Seira’s position in High Linx was great. There was no problem that could not be solved with her words.

And it was the same when we arrived at the Mage Tower.

“Bar, I’ll call you right away!”

“Yes. Please. Oh, and also tell them that you don’t know what will happen if they don’t come down soon enough. That Sinclair brother, he’s a good at flirting.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Just kidding.”

The lower end wizards were in a hurry at the sudden appearance of the Grand Duchess.

Seira said someone’s name, and as soon as she heard that, the magic tower started to move busily. It was as if rat poison had been poured into her rat hole. There was no truth like this.

I asked while raising the teacup in front of me.

“So who is Sinclair?”

“This is the acquaintance I was talking about.”

“Are you a high-ranking person?”

“In High Linx, he still ranks next to Grand Duke.”

“Whoa.”

With a smile, Seira raised the fork.

“My name is Sinclair Romanhoff. Known as the wizard of frost, he is an authority in the world of elemental magic. At the same time, he is also the owner of the White Magic Tower. In Highlings, tower lords hold similar positions to lords of castles. It’s a pretty high seat.”

Seira munched on the food for a while, then said, “Still, it’s not as good as me.” He added briefly.

Anyway, I was expecting it to some extent, but was it the owner of the Magic Tower?

The White Magic Tower was quite gigantic even from a distance. It seemed that the magician he belonged to could easily exceed three digits.

A person with a status that can tell the lord of a mage tower in a place like this.

I am surprised again.

“…… Boo. My back is itching.”

Of course, Lyncia Ayren, the emperor of all things, who chewed even that saira, was restless.

To put the reason simply, it must be because of the many eyes that are pouring on him.

“Oh my gosh. Look at that. It’s like a doll.”

“Is it the Grand Duchess’ toy? Or lover? Your taste is very noble.”

“I don’t know… …. It’s pretty pretty. I don’t know if I’ll be able to change my mind.”

This kind of whispering could be heard from far away. Even the last words were in the voice of an uncle.

“Does my appearance draw attention that much?”

“A little too much.”

“…… Ok.”

Honestly, the Grand Duchess goes around with a handsome boy. Isn’t it the best situation for strange rumors to circulate?

Actually, Seira herself was rather looking sideways at Lyncia with the expression of illusion.

I wonder if she was like that.

Only Yuria, who had been struggling in the meantime, sipped her teacup with a dissatisfied expression.

“Did you call, Grand Duchess?”

At last, a wizard wearing a blue robe walked through the elevator.

That must be Sinclair.

He has long blue hair, sharp features, and fair skin. Sinclair was the epitome of a beautiful handsome man.

“Huh! Brother, long time no see! Has it been half a year since then?”

“Haa… …. Didn’t you go to Sigrun as the duke’s deputy? If she came to High Linx, why didn’t she say something else? “

“Ah, there is nothing like that between us. Were you sharing the same secret?”

Seira tapped Sinclair’s chest with her elbow. He sighed and shook his head excitedly,

Then she looked at us sitting next to Seira and tilted her head.

By the way, Sinclair’s gaze also stayed for a while in front of Lyncia disguised as a man.

“By the way, who are your companions here?”

“My friends. The detailed explanation is a secret.”

“Is that so? Then I won’t bother asking. I don’t want to get involved in trouble either.”

Then Sinclair crossed his arms.

“So, what the hell is the Grand Duchess doing in such a shabby place?”

“I have a favor to ask of you. I thought about it a little, but after all, there is no one as trustworthy as Sinclair.”

“…… To my lowly ears, it sounds like a comfortable errand boy.”

“hahahaha. That too.”

“… ….”

“You don’t have to frown like that, right? Are you kidding?”

Seira shuddered and rose from her seat as she leaned over to Sinclair.

“There is a problem with the spirit realm. You know?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes. I am aware. I thought I would take some time to investigate the cause.”

“You don’t have to. I know who is behind it.”

“That means… ….”

“Yes. It’s artificial interference. It is also from a foreign church.”

At Seira’s last words, Sinclair held her breath.

But then she shrugged.

“I expected it, but it is what it is. Is the reason, after all, the emperor’s absence?”

“No. It’s because of the apostle. An apostle from the Church has entered Hylings.”

“…… Where does it come from?”

At those words, Seira turned to Yuria.

When she met the golden gaze of the Arch Mage, Yuria hid and let out a gasping sound.

Seira grabbed her by the chin and smirked as he rubbed her cheeks.

“This cute little boy is a foreign priest. It’s an insider’s word, so it has credibility.”

“…… Yes?”

At that, Sinclair paused and blinked her eyes.

Soon there was a chilly silence in the hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower. Everyone was taken aback by the explosive remark that came out of Seira’s mouth.

And Sinclair slowly reached for the cane tucked into her waist in the natural order. Chilled mana began to form on his staff.

It was similar in texture to the cold mana Carlon used, but its purity was on a different level. Befitting the nickname of the Wizard of Frost, Sinclair was also a wizard of considerable skill.

“Seo, isn’t the explanation too lacking!”

Yuria, who suddenly became an enemy of her, cried out and cried.

She then looked at me with a look asking for help.

But it was too late.

It was because many wizards were already on alert. Some of them even had fireballs in their hands.

That’s the Red Magic Tower.

“… ….”

It seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time to clear up the misunderstanding.
