021. Magic (3)

The administrator looked up and glanced at his face. Then he lowered his head again and spoke to the soldier who was handing out the reward money.

“The matter of dispatching to Aaron Village before… 45 gold. And you go to the reception room.”

“45 gold…….”

It is a larger amount than expected. There is even a murmur from behind saying 45 gold. The administrator frowns at Icarone, who is standing there blankly, holding a heavy bag.

“What are you doing? Can’t you see that there’s someone behind you?”

Icarone, who woke up from his reverie, put the bag of gold coins in his bosom and left the place. But why are you telling me to go to the reception room? He tried to ask again, but gave up when he saw the administrator already engrossed in his work.

Icarone blocked the path of a soldier who appeared to be on patrol and asked him.

“Where is the living room?”

In response to Icarone’s question, the soldier looked him up and down with a wary look before asking.

“What… is going on?”

“The administrator over there told me to go there.”

Icarone pointed at the administrator with his index finger. The soldier’s expression softened slightly and he answered.

“Oh, I see. The reception room is to the right of where the administrator is.”

Icarone pondered his words and then asked again.

“That… looking at the administrator? Or from the administrator’s perspective?”

“Yes? Ah…… Look at the administrator…… No, I will bring it to you.”

Fortunately, it is difficult to find your way around a new place. Icarone said as he followed the soldier.

“How kind.”

“no.”

The expression on the face of the soldier leading the way looked somewhat uneasy.

Soon, a large room guarded by two soldiers appeared. The soldiers confirmed Icarone’s name and guided him inside. Inside, there was a large, long table that could seat twenty people, and old-fashioned-looking chairs lined up.

I thought there would be someone, but there was no one. Why on earth did you tell me to go here? Then I heard the voice of the soldier guarding the entrance.

“Please wait a moment. He will be here shortly.”

‘Who asked to see me? Maybe Raven? Irie?’

If it were a place like this, it would be one of two things, but if possible, I would like to be the lord of Ieri, where it is relatively comfortable. At that time, the sound of shoes coming from far away stimulated my ears.

-Crunch, crunch.

‘her.’

She walked elegantly, escorted by two knights. Ierie’s appearance in a pure white dress with gold trim made me exclaim in admiration without realizing it. She spoke to Ikarone, who didn’t even realize that her mouth was open, while slightly lifting up the hem of her skirt.

“Is it pretty? It’s my favorite outfit.”

This woman, if it were her world, there would have been dozens of murders ordered because of her. Thinking about it that way, that smile seems even more dizzying and dangerous.

“What’s going on?”

“What’s the rush? I just want to talk. Please have a seat.”

Even the gesture of offering a chair was elegant. When Icarone sat down, her eyes sparkled and she spoke.

“Aren’t you curious about many things?”

“There were many. First of all, magic…….”

She smiled as if she knew what she was going to say. She was a rare magician, of which there were only about a hundred in the world. There wouldn’t be many opportunities to meet her alone like this. Icarone shouted in delight and asked all the things he had been curious about. Although she was tired and annoyed after the long journey, she answered kindly and never lost her smile.

Ierie sometimes asked Ikarone questions. Things like the story of Knight Brozen, Ray’s master, and how he came to deal with werewolves. Ikarone even explained her unusual abilities, thinking that she might know something, even though she would usually keep it a secret. Before long, darkness fell over the surroundings.

“Really? That’s really strange… Have you been to an emotional specialist?”

“Emotional?”

Icarone asked back at the words she had never heard before. Then she covered her mouth with her hand and laughed softly.

“Oh my, there’s so much you don’t know. Rather than explaining… why don’t you go and get an appraisal yourself? I think it might answer the questions you have, Icarone-sama.”

“Where is that?”

“It’s at the end of Blacksmith Street. It’s where the purple crystal ball is drawn. I’ll put up directions.”

Icarone answered, raising her hand to refuse her offer.

“I’m comfortable alone.”

“I see~. Okay! And…….”

He was curious when the always witty and easygoing Irie hesitated. He guessed that was why she had called him today. She had shared a lot of information with him and even treated the scar on his face. He was willing to grant any request.

“Speak.”

“If you are not affiliated with any organization, how about joining us? We will write a letter of recommendation to the Knight Academy in the Kingdom of Riolu, so that you can receive knight training. Of course, we will cover all expenses.”

This is the main point. This woman… … is a high-level person. Not only did she receive the ray, but she was also a lord, and yet she took the time to satisfy a mere soldier’s curiosity. She had already given him what he wanted, so she created a picture that was difficult to refuse from his perspective.

But there is no time for that. Now that the target amount has been collected, I must find the dragon as soon as possible and return to the previous world. It was uncomfortable to know that the owner of the black butterfly was breathing peacefully even at this moment.

Since it’s going to be a negative answer anyway, it’s better to do it quickly.

“I need to find the dragon as soon as possible. If there’s anyone you want to eliminate instead, just tell me one. I’ll do it for free.”

Ierie, who saw traces of a short period of thought in his joking answer (although he was serious), nodded, noticing that he had not made a decision easily.

“I see… But a dragon? Dragons have appeared a thousand years ago and haven’t been seen since. And if you see them, they’ll burn you up right away…?”

The words that followed were already heard by Ierie.

“Still, I have to find it. I have to…….”

As he said that, Icarone stood up from his seat. Ierie, who read the determination in his words and eyes, remained silent for a while before smiling gently and following him.

“Hmm, but if you change your mind later, come back anytime. I’ll always have a place for you, Icarone-sama. Okay? Oh, and……”

As Ierie leaned forward and came closer, a refreshing scent wafted out. It was the scent of grass that I had felt when we first met. She whispered in Icarone’s ear, who had stiffened without realizing it.

“Foreigners will be arrested even if they have done nothing wrong. Be careful not to let anyone know.”

She placed her index finger on her lips and closed one eye. Seeing her from this close, he felt uneasy breathing for some reason, so he took a step back and answered.

“……Okay.”

Did you already know? She only gave good information until the end. I feel bad because I only received a lot, but if it is a debt that cannot be repaid, it is better to forget it quickly. The more debt you have with people, the more restrictions you will have on your actions. Just like now. Icarone nodded absentmindedly and left the reception room.

There are three most important pieces of information I got from talking to Ierie.

First of all, to become a wizard, you must be able to feel and see mana, and it is said that feeling is possible once you reach a certain level. However, seeing is said to be something that is innate or that only a very small number of people can see after birth. Most of the wizards that exist now are innate, and there are only four wizards that have been revealed after birth, including the court wizard of the Roga Empire, ‘Gannu’. There are fewer wizards than you think, and it is said that if you feel mana later, you can also cast invisible magic, so Icarone lightly brushed his chest.

The second is that there is a history of emotions. I didn’t hear a detailed explanation because they told me to go and experience it for myself, but it definitely seems like it would play an important role in living in the world.

The last was the pure white light that enveloped Raven’s sword. She called it an aura. It is said that once every two years, a swordsmanship competition is held in the Roga Empire, and only 10 swordsmen are blessed by the high priest of the war god Milhama. Those who receive the blessing can use the aura until the next competition, but the power is limited to one minute in two hours. It may be a short time, but it is definitely not a short time compared to the destructive power displayed then.

By the way, there are 10 people like that… … As expected, this world is not easy.

Icarone first took steps to purchase the most necessary subspace.

“I said it was around here……”

Icarone found a small, dark house with no sign next to a tavern called ‘The Sunset’, as Ierie had described. Feeling satisfied after wandering around for only thirty minutes, he stepped into the open door.

“I came to save subspace.”

There isn’t a single light on inside, so I can’t see an inch ahead.

It was wider than it looked, and Icarone’s voice rang out, but there was no answer. The eerie feeling made me feel repulsed, but it was a subspace. Such elements did not interfere at all. Icarone slowly moved forward, widening his senses.

Strange. I can’t feel any human presence at all. When I walk about twenty steps in the midst of inaudible answers, two blue lights flash and appear right in front of me.

‘I definitely didn’t feel anything… … .’

Upon closer inspection, it was shaped like an eye. Icarone reached out to touch it, but quickly withdrew his hand when he felt a breeze. At that moment, a voice that sounded like scraping metal that did not sound human could be heard from deep underground.

“That’s quite a lot… How many square meters are you planning to buy?”

It felt like the voice was not coming from the mouth of the being in front of me, but resonating throughout the room. But I asked how many pyeong I would buy, since I could only buy two pyeong at most. Icarone, who was curious, asked.

“How many square meters can I buy?”

At that moment, those blue eyes came closer. It was a truly eerie, ghostly movement.

“Artemis…… is generous to strangers. You now…… seem capable of living up to 4 pyeong.”

4pyeong! This is different from the information I heard from the general store Raysha. With that much, you will not only be able to satisfy your hunger but also take as much loot as you want. However, there is a problem that needs to be addressed before that.

-Sreung.

Ray’s sharp sword blade was revealed. Icarone asked him in a low voice.

“How did you know I was a foreigner?”
