Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 54

Wintering (2)

Galen’s answer came a little late.

“···You want to sell it?”

It was just because he heard an unexpected word, but the heads of the household immediately waved their hands, thinking that Galen was upset.

“I’m not forcing you at all!”

“You can use it wherever you want! As much as you want!”

“If you have trouble dealing with it, we will buy it at a good price! Please don’t misunderstand!”

Galen was rather uncomfortable with the fuss he was making.

But the reactions of the heads of households were also inevitable.

Even though Banan was the largest city in the Dawn Archipelago, it was not on the same level as Belpass on the mainland.

How could Galen not be afraid when he had destroyed pirates who had even taken down Belpass’ fleet, which was stronger than Banan?

Galen knew that too, so he didn’t bother telling her to be at ease. He knew she wouldn’t be able to do that anyway.

Anyway, that’s that.

“If you just give it a reasonable price, there’s no reason it wouldn’t sell.”

Galen added, leaving room for questioning instead of giving a definitive answer.

“But I don’t have time right now. I came here at the request of the church, so I need to go back as soon as possible.”

“ah······.”

“Oh, I see.”

The lords were sorry, but as soon as the church was mentioned, they fell into a state of confusion. Galen made a proposal to appease them.

“First, could you take care of the ship for a while? How about we go back to Belpass, take care of business, and then come back and discuss this?”

“Of course it’s okay!”

“We are grateful!”

What’s the big deal about a little delay? The owners were very grateful that they could discuss it again later.

Only after sending off the servants was Galen finally able to reach Lilia.

The boss was awake in the meantime.

When she was unconscious with her eyes closed, she looked quite pretty, but when she opened her eyes and glared at Galen, the impression she had was not ordinary. It was as if it would bring frost even in May.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

Of course, I couldn’t understand what he was saying, because he had a gag stuffed into his mouth with a piece of cloth to keep him from biting his tongue.

The body was bound not with rope but with iron chains, and the handcuffs and shackles connected to iron blocks were meticulously fastened.

“This should be fine!”

Lilia, who had ordered the action, spoke confidently. Galen nodded.

“It looks sturdy.”

“I just need to keep an eye on the parts that are lacking!”

This was a possible measure, since the original skill of the leader, who had been at the level of gold by using cavalry, could not have been gold.

This was because there was no convenient means of suppression like the acupuncture points in martial arts novels. There was no way to seal only air power or magic power.

If it were true that a warrior could be saved by just keeping him alive, it would be possible to restrain him even by cutting off his limbs, but a wizard could not be restrained because his brain could not be cut out.

However, since Lilia was able to quickly subdue Baek Eun-dae, he intended to capture her alive, even if it meant enduring his fatigue.

“Considering that he hasn’t put up much of a resistance yet, he seems like just an ordinary person without the cavalry.”

Lilia whispered softly in Galen’s ear.

“But it’s possible that they’re hiding their power in hopes of finding a chance to escape. I don’t think we should let our guard down.”

“I will be careful. There is also the problem of the horsemen, so how about returning to the archdiocese right away?”

“Like this?”

“It’s only two days away anyway, so we can get there and back quickly. Right now, I think relieving Bishop Roald’s worries is the priority.”

“I like it.”

Both of them wanted to wrap this up quickly. The agreement was easily reached.

Galen went to the church, packed the two people’s luggage, and returned. He gathered the people together and briefly explained the situation.

People were shocked when the wizard who appeared like the wind and swept away the pirates like a storm said that he would disappear like the wind again.

There was no reason to stop the church from doing its business.

The sailors of the warship that was helping to move the pirate ship also heard Galen’s words and hurriedly loaded up their personal belongings.

They were equally bewildered by the statement that they would leave right away, but if the higher-ups want to do it, they have to do it.

There was no need for any special sailing preparations since we had just been going back and forth in the open sea.

“I will not forget this favor!”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

The warship headed west amid the cheers of the people.

*

The two-day voyage was smooth.

There was no way the pirates could block their path, and the leader, who was watched with a burning sense of duty by Lilia, did not cause any particular disturbance.

I think it would be right to see him as an ordinary person. He had not been fed for two days and was lying there listless. If he had planned to escape, he would have done so when he was in better condition.

There was an incident where he bit his tongue while giving her water to drink, but Lilia immediately treated him and beat him to a pulp, which ended in him passing out.

As a result, when the military ship safely entered port, the church was turned upside down.

“Heh, heh heh, heh heh heh······.”

Roald was so dumbfounded that he just laughed for a long time.

I only asked you to reconnaissance, but you destroyed the pirates and captured their leader, and not only that, real cavalry even showed up.

“I believe you are worthy of receiving performance-based pay.”

“What do you mean? I’m also wondering how to convert this into money.”

That very day, Roald secretly gathered together the influential families of Belpass.

When the existence of the horse soldier was revealed to the lords and shown to them in person, there was an uproar. They also regarded the horse soldier as something from a legend.

But Roald was kind enough to give me a chance to touch the horse soldier.

The magician is a demonic object that constantly whispers temptations to its owner, corrupting them into using him.

After experiencing the strange whispers in their heads for themselves, no one doubted it.

“I’m saying this out of concern.”

Roald spoke in a somber and warning voice in front of the lords.

“The cavalry is powerful, but it is a terrible thing that demands countless bloodshed, and even the power it gains has its limits. As you can see from what happened to Duke Galen here. If it had been the Archbishop instead of me, a mere proxy, it would have ended in an instant.”

“Yes, yes.”

The heads of the household nodded vigorously. The Archbishop is usually considered to be on par with a jewel, so wouldn’t he be stronger than the Golden Wizard? Having never seen Galen’s magic firsthand, they easily accepted Roald’s words.

“I do not think there are any corrupt people among you, but if by any chance you should have evil thoughts later, remember today’s events. The end result of entanglement with the devil is destruction.”

“All right!”

After completing the ideological education, the cavalry was immediately destroyed.

Although it was a rule not to be open to outsiders, Galen was given special permission to view it in consideration of the ball.

Phew!

The destruction took place in the church’s underground chapel. The only observers were Galen, Lilia, and a few priests from the Belpas Church.

Roald, who had created the spear with the miracle of light, accurately captured the blood-red jewel on the necklace.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

The terrifying screams of the ghost could not be heard above ground.

Roald, with an indifferent expression, used the miracle while holding the light spear tightly in his hand.

Flash!

The seventh miracle, which only some bishops can use. The miracle of blessing has come.

The second miracle is the superior version of purification. Beyond washing away the filth, it is a miracle of conferring holy baptism.

The demon’s power was not just weakened, it was annihilated in real time.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Of course, the ghost’s screams got louder, but no one cared.

Lilia’s eyes, which were almost burning as she observed the miracle of blessing right next to Roald, were shining.

At some point, the ghost’s screams began to die down and then suddenly stopped.

That was the moment.

“······.”

Galen’s eyebrows twitched. The sensation of simultaneous twists made him slightly dizzy.

He closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again, then immediately brought up the status window.

[ Water Flow Manipulation Lv.62 ]

[ 3% progress to next level ]

[ Spirit Creation Lv.54 ]

[ 14% progress to next level ]

Water flow manipulation increased by 2 levels, and spirit creation increased by 4 levels.

It was a similar achievement to when I killed Moritz. The ghost was easier than Moritz, but I think I gained more experience points because I killed it with three people that time and I almost killed it alone this time.

‘It seems that the criteria for gaining experience is killing the cavalry, not the leader. Well, in this case, it was purely the power of the tool.’

Considering that the magic had jumped 5 levels during its evolution, the growth of Spirit Creation was astonishing.

While Galen was satisfied, he thought it was a good idea to come to Belpass.

“It ended safely.”

Roald, who had scattered the light, picked up the necklace.

The ugly, split gem had faded in color from blood red to a simple red, and the ominous aura that had been rippling within the gem had completely disappeared.

“If it’s okay with you, can the church have this necklace? I’d like to include it with my report to the Archbishop. I’ll pay for it.”

“How much is that broken necklace? Just take it.”

“Thank you. Okay, thank you for your hard work in observing. Let’s disband now.”

“yes!”

Roald glanced at Lilia, who was lost in thought, and gave Galen a pleading look. Galen nodded silently.

Roald and the priests left, leaving the two alone in the chapel.

I’m killing time by making the spirits dance on my palm and watching them do it.

“Huh? Where did everyone go?”

Lilia snapped out of her reverie and looked around.

“He just finished his work and left.”

“Oh, I’m sorry!”

“No. Did what you were thinking end well?”

“Yes! This is my first time seeing the miracle of blessing, so I’m a little shocked? Even Bishop Myra can’t use the miracle of blessing!”

“···Is it possible that you can now use the blessing?”

“Huh? Hey, how come you only saw it once?”

“In the Devil’s Cradle, you suddenly started to use a light.”

“I’ve seen the light many times before! I felt like I could do it. But I don’t think the blessing is ready yet. Um, should I say I’m not ready yet?”

Lilia tilted her head and clenched and unclenched her fist. A faint light appeared in her hand, indicating that things were not going as she wanted.

Soon she smiled brightly.

“Well, it will happen someday!”

“I will cheer you on.”

Galen snickered and pointed outside the chapel before walking away. Lilia followed him.

“You haven’t been able to sleep all this time because you’ve been keeping an eye on the boss. Get some rest.”

“Yes! Brother, you too, get some rest!”

With that, Belpass’s request was concluded.

Except that the compensation hasn’t been settled yet.

*

Galen and Lilia’s work was over, but others’ work was just beginning.

The powerful families sent their few remaining ships to the Dawn Archipelago.

The reason was, ‘I want to check the exact situation myself to calculate the exact compensation.’

Even Galen could have overlooked that. His performance was so unbelievable.

Now, if you go further and make excuses and refuse to give me the money, then you become a gangster.

The church, on the other hand, was relatively cool.

Even though he was not the entity that had to pay the commission, he was given a separate bonus for recovering the horsemen.

“Belpas is a little richer than Abaca, but if you only consider the power of the church, Abaca is better. I’m sorry I can’t give you much.”

“This is enough, this much.”

The sum received from the church in Belpas was five hundred gold coins.

These days, if you do something, you get paid a thousand won, so five hundred won is not a small amount at all.

When Elisha left the Oceanis family, the amount he had given her was one hundred gold pieces. That was a lot of money, so Galen was shocked.

The church was not poor, but it was not rich either, especially since the Eastern Archdiocese itself was not an affluent area.

Five hundred gold coins was the amount that the Belpass Diocese had worked hard to save. Since there was someone else who would extort the money anyway, Galen accepted it gratefully.

“That boss, he was from the Dawn Archipelago!”

Lilia, who freely came and went from church to church, often asked for news.

Surprisingly, the church was a fairly rational group that avoided creating an atmosphere of fear by unnecessarily linking people with the devil, as was the case with the Burtain family.

In other words, in cases where they were definitely connected to the devil, they dealt with things in a cruel and merciless manner.

Galen did not necessarily attend the torture scene, but from what he heard, they practically dismembered the person.

“Do you remember? When the pirates plundered Banana, they completely wiped out an entire family.”

“Yes. I remember.”

“He was the sole survivor of a weak family that had been defeated by that family a long time ago. The other seven were vassals!”

“Well, so it was some kind of revenge drama?”

“That’s what he claims.”

“Then why did you only invade that family and take revenge, and sink Amen Belpass’s fleet?”

“After suffering for over twenty years, you’ve come to hate the world?”

Neither Liliana nor Galen, who spoke or listened, felt anything special. No matter what the story was, from the moment he chose the cavalry as a means of revenge, he was not normal.

“Even the church doesn’t know about that story, and they’re focusing on the source of the magic weapon. The leader claims that he got it by chance······.”

“I don’t think you can pick up such a suspicious item on the street.”

“Do you really believe that? Well, I’m sure the brothers who are interrogating you will know what to do!”

Lilia made it clear. That was correct. That wasn’t something they had to worry about.

“By the way, are you busy?”

“Nothing in particular?”

“I have a request that I think Princess Lilia would like. Would you like to take it on?”

“What is it?”

“I guess this is a request where I can help people, train, and even make a lot of money.”

“There is such a thing?! Who would give such a request?”

“It’s me.”

Galen said with a grin.

“Let’s go back. To the Dawn Archipelago.”
