075. Witch (3)

“The two guards guarding the crypt are dead! Both of them were headless…….”

Friel jumped up from his seat. It was no surprise that two patrolmen had lost their lives, but it was a big deal to Berello and Friel, who knew that the heads had disappeared from the tomb. A smile appeared on Friel’s lips.

“There’s no need to rush anymore……”

The Lemidon fief ruled by the Duke of Cletin was not far from where Rachel currently lived. On the map, it was a distance that could be reached in two days, with only one fief in between.

Sky Castle. This refers to the Duke of Cletin’s mansion located at the edge of a cliff.

The open sea on three sides is refreshing. Requil and Lorey say that the Duke of Cletinus seems to value the view, but Icarone sees this place as a fortress. From the high walls that are hardly a mansion to the thick doors that seem to be 50cm thick. It is a natural fortress optimized for defense.

It is too risky for a lord of a territory to choose a mansion in such a remote location just for the view.

There will be great inconveniences in delivering work and in daily life. There will also be great inefficiency in managing the territory. It is expected that this old man is very cautious and has a conservative disposition. If he is extremely conservative, there is little chance of a good outcome for Rachel.

Icarone frowned slightly.

“This is the residence of Duke Cletin de Reimidan. Where do you come from and who are you?”

The soldiers guarding the entrance have proper vigilance and proper courtesy ingrained in them. They are well-defined, but their actions are gentle and natural. Rachel answered with a gentle smile.

“My name is Rachel, daughter of Duke Leonde. I have come here to see Duke Cletino.”

“Please wait a moment, Miss Rachel.”

The soldier who spoke briefly with the butler who approached behind Rachel answered and then looked at her again and said.

“Since you haven’t made an appointment in advance, I think you’ll have to wait a bit. Please follow this butler to the waiting room first.”

“Butler Nellick. This way…….”

Butler Nellick was a middle-aged man with a strict look, with his dark green hair neatly slicked back. This kingdom seemed to have a lot of people with green hair. Perhaps because he came so suddenly, the waiting time was quite long.

To keep you from getting bored while waiting, there are various books lined up in the study, and tea and fruit are also provided.

Icarone, who had been standing up and loitering, immediately approached the soldier standing at the waiting room door.

“Can I take a look around the mansion?”

“We are guarding the areas off-limits to outsiders, so feel free to explore other areas as you wish.”

At his words, Icarone nodded once to Rachel, who was looking at her, and left the waiting room. This place would be safe from Friel anyway, and there was no need to be confident in talking to the Duke of Cletin.

Icarone slowly looked around the mansion. As he walked along the corridor, he saw that one side was completely open like a terrace, and he could see the vast sea at a glance. The moon, the people, and the plants were all different, but the sea looked the same as that world.

‘Am I supposed to live here until I die? I came from another world, so I don’t fit in with the rules of this world of Eidos. What’s going on with me in that world? Who… … and why did they send me here?’

Purpose. He had forgotten not his own purpose in life, but someone else’s purpose. The story about the ‘he’ he had heard from Artemis. No, he had not even tried to think deeply about it. He had unconsciously concluded that it was something he would never know anyway…

But something unknown keeps sending me signals telling me not to let it go.

Icarone ‘saved’ this feeling, sensation, and thought in detail.

The stat called ‘wisdom’ is not something that literally makes a person wise. As you go through life, countless experiences, constant worries, and knowledge acquired from books accumulate and harmonize to make a person wise and intelligent. It is not something that can be artificially raised with stats or something like that.

It was something I had expected. Then, I thought about how these stats would affect me and came up with hypotheses one by one. And after checking for quite some time, I was able to categorize them into two major categories.

First is memory. My memory has improved to an extraordinary degree. It’s as if I’ve taken a picture of what I’m seeing, and I can store every little detail in my head. People call it a momentary memory, but if I recall the scene more than twice, it will stay in my memory for more than six months. I still remember the clothes of the people I saw at the banquet and the number of buttons on their clothes. However, my ability to find my way has not improved much, which is really strange.

The second is the ability to calculate. People live in a world where choices are always a series. When they have to make a choice, they think long and hard, but they quickly finish their thinking and draw a conclusion as if they were fast-forwarding. No matter what decision they make, it produces the same result as if they had thought carefully and made it.

In battle, the battle of wits is crucial when fighting against someone of equal skill. Depending on how quickly you make a choice, your life will come and go, so it is an ability that greatly helps in battle. It is an ability that can be seen as most similar to wisdom, but since it is a conclusion that comes from your own experience and knowledge, it cannot be said that your wisdom has increased.

Because of this, Icarone’s memory has improved and his actions have become slightly faster. In some ways, this stat is more valuable than any other stat. After learning this, this world has become even more frightening.

In particular, there are those called ‘wizards’… … They have much higher wisdom stats than you and the amount of knowledge they have acquired is enormous.

Those who can instantly derive the most excellent method from that vast knowledge? Each and every action will be several steps ahead. Ignorance is bravery and knowledge is scary, and this ability called wisdom was exactly like that.

Myrcene, son of Cletinus, is not a natural wizard like his father.

He always looked up to his outstanding father and was worried that he, as the eldest son, would tarnish his honor. So, from the age of ten, he spared himself sleep and practiced swordsmanship and mana at the same time, working hard to the point of exhaustion. Thanks to this, he acquired swordsmanship that was recognized throughout the kingdom.

“Don’t be anxious. Don’t be nervous. You are a source of pride to me just by being you.”

These are the words his father, Cletino, gave to him when he was frustrated because he couldn’t feel mana even when he was twenty years old. Since then, he has devoted himself even more to training. Now, it’s not for his father’s honor, but to catch two birds with one stone and become the kingdom’s first magic swordsman to make his father happy.

Mircen finished her training today and wiped off her sweat as she left the training center. As she was passing through the hallway, her eyes met with those of an unfamiliar man. His eyes were extremely indifferent, and he had a mask covering one side of his face. It was a common face, but he had an uncommon aura, so she kept staring at him, but the man just glanced away and passed by.

A person who comes to the duke’s mansion and ignores the duke’s eldest son and passes by. Mircen frowned slightly and her head became confused. There aren’t many people in this kingdom who would do that.

‘Are you a prince?’

Mircea called over to a maid who was passing by and asked her.

“Do you have any guests?”

“Yes, my lord. Please wait in the waiting room for a moment.”

“I see.”

If he waits in the waiting room, he is not related to the royal family. I became even more curious about the identity of the man from earlier. My father meditates at this time, and it takes him over 3 hours on average. The timing is also really bad for the guests. Meeting guests in sweaty training clothes is also a loss to the family’s honor, so I glanced at the waiting room as I passed by.

“uh…….”

Mircen’s footsteps stopped. Her voice stopped. No, her mind stopped. The whole world ‘stopped’ and all her nerves were focused on the side profile of a woman drinking tea. With her white and delicate wrists that seemed like they would hurt if touched, her moist eyes that stimulated the dry emotions of men, and her slightly lowered eyebrows, she looked more gentle and delicate than an angel.

In short, it was love at first sight.

As if conscious of his gaze, she turned her head towards him, and our eyes met directly.

“Huh.”

Mircen, who had been blankly staring, turned her head hurriedly. Then, she quickly left the place with stiff movements.

Even though he wasn’t following her, she couldn’t turn her head at all while walking to her room. Only then did Mircen loosen up and ask the soldier standing in front of her room.

“Who is the butler who will greet our guests today?”

“This is Butler Perti.”

“Okay, call him. I have something to ask you. Quickly.”

“All right.”

Mircen hurried into the room after saying those words and clutched her heart. The moment when their eyes met directly flashed before her eyes.

How in the world could such a woman exist? An elf like I’ve only heard of? No. Her ears weren’t pointy.

It’s a big deal. If things go well with her, your training time will be reduced. A lot of it. You’ll miss her every day. But you’ll be happy. If she’s such a kind, (?), pure, and careful woman, your father will understand you.

-dripping.

“Your Majesty, this is Perti.”

Mircea was barely able to come out of her thoughts at the sound of his knocking.

“Oh, come in.”

Butler Perty. The oldest butler after Nellick. His experience and wisdom will provide you with much information and help.

“Have you found it?”

“Okay. Who is the guest in the waiting room now?”

“If it’s the waiting room… it’s the Duke Leond’s daughter, Lady Rachel, and her party. Two knights and one butler.”

“If it’s Rachel…….”

It matches what my father said about the biggest incident recently. If so, the man I ran into earlier is likely the main character of that incident. And the reason she came to see my father was also something that was expected.

Mircen’s face became slightly pensive. It was a pity that she was not a minor lady of a suitable family. He had no intention of borrowing the family name to take a wife, but if he liked her, he was in a position to bring anyone except the king’s wife.

But the prerequisite for that is that the father must give permission. But Rachel of the Leond family… …is likely to be the only woman who would not be permitted.
