Imperial Magic Tower (1)

“It’s time for the Imperial Mage Tower to open soon. I heard that the academy used to visit groups in the past, but what about this year? Since this kind of thing happened, it would be impossible for a group, right? I, Carol…?”

Selina rested her chin on the back of her hand and slightly poked her face out.

“Ah, sorry. I have something to think about.”

“What do you think?”

“Do you have records of dragons?”

“You mean the record about the dragon? There are very few of them… but I think you’ve already seen them all. All that’s left… hang on.”

Selina jumped up from her chair and disappeared into a corner of the library.

Of course, all academic calendars are suspended. There weren’t many victims, but it wasn’t without, and there were quite a few people who needed to be recuperated for a long time even if the professors used all kinds of healing magic and s*x magic, so the school was closed like the last time.

Of course, that didn’t mean the academy itself was closed, and relatively intact facilities were available.

While I had some free time, I stopped by the library to look for dragon information.

I asked Eternia directly, but judging from how they kept their mouths shut on information about dragons, it seemed that there was some kind of lock on them.

thud.

Selina set down a thick old book in front of me.

“In fact, there is no proper record about dragons. As far as information goes, it can’t go beyond what Carol-sama has seen so far.”

“What is this then?”

“It’s just a continental history book.”

He seemed to be thinking about something as he twisted his light blue hair.

“You don’t have to see everything, just a moment.”

After a brief thought, Selina approached me, pulled out a chair, sat down right next to me, and opened a book.

“For a wizard, the existence of a dragon is unknown. Over hundreds of years, attempts have been made to reverse-interpret many of the things they left behind, but no one has succeeded.”

“Some of the warlocks I saw were using them well, though.”

Even Eternia moved while being eroded by demonic energy and built a barrier.

“Warlocks are a bit of an exception. They borrow the power of high-ranking demons to realize what is impossible with ordinary magic. It’s somewhat similar to s*x magic. Of course, even that has its limits.”

“It was like that.”

Considering the mass of flesh that filled the inside of the control room, it was certainly not ordinary magic.

“Yes, if you look at the history books of the continent, these few pages are the end of the record about dragons. Even that, there was a dragon long ago, but it was a great existence anyway. oh well It’s just trivial stuff. Of course, there may be more information somewhere other than the academy, but…”

“different place?”

“Typically, there is the Imperial Mage Tower. However… the Imperial Mage Tower is an extremely closed place, so it will be impossible for outsiders to access the information.”

I turned the pages while listening to Selina’s words, but as expected there was nothing special. It felt like a myth about a great race that disappeared a long time ago, even before the empire was born.

“Is it impossible to interpret dragon magic even at the level of Dean Amelia?”

“Yes, it is. If that was possible, wouldn’t the civilization of this world have jumped a few steps? Dragon’s relics are all things that transcend common sense. But why are you suddenly so interested in dragons?”

Eyes wide open, Selina stared up at me from the side.

“hmm. It’s because I got something similar to a dragon’s relic this time.”

“The dragon’s relic. relics? yes…?!”

Selina, who had been muttering blankly with her mouth open, was startled.

“I even signed a contract.”

“contract? contract…? A dragon artifact that requires a contract?”

It was to the point where it seemed ridiculous to me to mutter to myself and tilt my head.

“Is that great?”

“Of course! Saying that now…!”

Bang- Selina slammed the desk and jumped up.

“…”

“sorry.”

Then he quickly bowed his head and apologized.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so excited.”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”

Selina slumped back into her seat, her face red as if it were about to explode.

“The base of the warlocks was the ship.”

“I hope that’s…”

“Yes, after sorting out the warlocks who were using the Dragon’s relics as they please, a ship spirit offered a contract, so I accepted it.”

“Among all the relics of dragons that transcend common sense, the types that require contracts… are literally the ones that only come out of legends. It can be seen that there are strong restrictions on its use because it is so dangerous. Besides, if artificial spirits even exist, there is nothing to say. It is the best of the best.”

When I looked at the ring of brilliance on the right, Selina’s eyes followed me to the ring of brilliance.

“Come to think of it, what is that? It’s a ring I’ve never seen before.”

“I received it from the Holy Land. It is said to be a ring of divine brilliance.”

“Um, that’s a miracle. Amazing…”

Selina let out a deep sigh, narrowing her brows.

“I don’t even have the strength to be surprised anymore. Does that cover the user too?”

“okay. They said it was stuck in a warehouse because there were no suitable people.”

“An unknown ancient ring in his left hand, a divine instrument in his right hand, a lightning spirit, and a contractor for dragon artifacts. It is a myth itself.”

“Anyway, these are all auxiliary things, and I don’t need them.”

Of course, it would be very sad if the Black Lightning disappeared now. Anyway, what I believed in was martial arts, not such equipment.

“That’s right… Carol’s martial arts are at an incomprehensible level. After all, isn’t that the most unknown technology… In that respect, it’s similar to dragons. It’s not for nothing that the dragon’s relic jumped first to sign a contract. I guess I felt a sense of kinship.”

Selina, who had been laughing to herself, stretched out.

“Imperial Mage Tower…”

“Can you go too, Carol?”

“okay. My mind has changed.”

Regardless of owning or not owning artifacts, I became interested in the existence of the dragon itself. Same with the Dragon Heart I took before. Although the Imperial Mage Tower is a closed group, I don’t know.

Gradually, I was able to move to a certain extent, and Amelia dean invited me to the dean’s office.

“On behalf of the Academy, thank you. Prince Carol.”

Dean Amelia bowed her head politely with a pale face. It seemed that the injuries inflicted by the black magicians had not yet fully recovered.

“I’m glad I’m not late. If we were a little late, there would have been many casualties.”

“Yes, what would have happened if Prince Charles hadn’t been there… It’s horrific to imagine.”

Carefully putting the teacup to her lips, she let out a sigh.

“I have something to tell you about that.”

widely.

“which…?”

Dean Amelia, who put down the teacup with a noble gesture, stared at me with a gentle attitude.

“I signed a contract with a ship called Eternia, Relic of the Dragon. It can be considered that it actually belongs to me… but it seems that the original owner is the imperial family.”

If there was a fight, troublesome things could have happened. In that case, it would be better to deal with it in advance.

Of course, if it weren’t for me, not only the academy, but also the city of Schultz, and even the system could be in danger.

It was stupid to argue with that, but in the original world, there were absolutely no few such crazy writers. Apparently, when it comes to dragon relics, there are bound to be people who lose their reason.

“hmm. Ship Eternia. I don’t know the name, but I have a guess. Originally, rather than being a ship, there was something that was just floated in one place close to an island and studied. I heard it was stolen by a warlock in the past… but it looks like he used it for this raid. Could there have been something more complicated? If so, all of this explains it.”

“you’re right. They put their troops in it and carried it all the way up from the sea. Wouldn’t there be a possibility that it might come up as a problem of ownership?”

Bubbly.

“Don’t worry about that.”

The swordsman who entered the room before he knew it opened his mouth with a firm tone.

“…Congratulations.”

“Cluck, you know right away. It’s all thanks to you.”

“I just did it because I could.”

The swordsmith slowly shook his head from side to side, his bright eyes shining. Then, he lowered his head deeply, held the sword he was holding upside down with both hands, and brought the handle up to his forehead.

“Bio in which Reinhardt of the Baden family expresses deep gratitude to Karl of the Bernstein family. This is the grace of life. As long as it does not go against honor and duty, I swear to help even at the cost of my life.”

“It is enough that you are safe without any major injuries.”

The swordsman smiled happily as he slowly unraveled the sword.

“It’s just my self-satisfaction. Anyway, don’t worry about that ship. After all, isn’t it a spoil? Originally war spoils were not easily involved even in the imperial family. Of course, if it turns out you own it, there will be a lot of gossip, but don’t worry. I’ll shut up all your cheeky mouths. Since ancient times, hawks have been medicine for those who act recklessly.”

The swordsman clenched his right fist so tightly that veins popped out.

“thank you.”

If the level of swordsman made up his mind and gave it to me, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. Because of this incident, I am also me, but the swordsmith’s reputation would have risen vertically.

Besides, I felt it from the first time I saw it, but it was definitely higher than before. It wasn’t until Talma or Hyungyeong, but it came up to the level of challenging the wall.

Of course, it was the same in Moorim, but most of them were frustrated because they couldn’t cross that wall. Considering his age, there was a much greater chance that he would not be able to surpass the swordsman. that’s something you don’t know In any case, after going through the crisis of death, he definitely became stronger than before.

“Still, it would be better not to inform the outside world for the time being.”

Amelia Dean, who had been silently listening to the conversation between me and the swordsman, spoke in a calm voice.

“Yes, of course. I’m hiding on the lake anyway.”

“Then it shouldn’t be a big problem. A stealth that evaded my magical detection. Oh, and Prince Carol.”

Dean Amelia called my name with a hard face as if she remembered something.

“yes.”

“The Imperial Mage Tower will open soon. It’s one of the few times of the year that we’re open to outsiders.”

“I know. I heard that the academy used to visit them as a group.”

“It is. It doesn’t mean much to a son of a great aristocrat like Prince Charles, but for many students, this is an opportunity. If you’re a wizard, there’s no need to explain. Even if you’re a knight, you don’t have to worry about living for the rest of your life even if you become a knight under the Empire’s Mage Tower, or if you’re only selected as a target for cooperation.”

Dean Amelia nodded and sighed.

“This is an opportunity that students cannot afford to miss.”

“Yes, but the current academy situation is too good for a group to do anything… We plan to change it to voluntary visits. All expenses are covered by the academy. A wagon if need be.”

“hmm….”

That seemed to be enough. The academic schedule was suspended for the time being anyway.

“Is Prince Carol willing to visit the Imperial Mage Tower?”

“It wasn’t originally, but I changed my mind. I plan to go there once.”

The dragon’s information is also information. Diabolus Pretum’s master was also from the Imperial Mage Tower. There was always plenty of information, so there was nothing wrong with it.

“is that so. Then we’ll have to go and talk about it.”

“Are you talking about details?”

“Yes, I would like to suggest one thing. It’s still an internal discussion process, so by the time you leave, there will be a definite conclusion, so I’ll let you know then.”

“All right.”

I don’t know what it was, but at this point, it seemed like there wasn’t a proper conclusion. I honestly had no idea what Dean Amelia was proposing to me, but the stern expression on her face made it seem like nothing out of the ordinary.

“Finally… Actually, this was the main point. Yohana.”

“Yes, Master.”

From noble mtl dot com

Johana, the dean’s secretary, came with a small box and set it down on the table.

“I was a bit worried. There aren’t many things that can be of help to someone like Prince Charles.”

Dean Amelia carefully opened the box, and inside was a vial containing a brilliant liquid.

“This?”

It didn’t feel like an elixir, but it didn’t look like an ordinary thing either.

“It is an elixir. It is a b-boy with a legend that even the dead can be revived. Of course, you can’t actually raise the dead. Still, it depends on the type of injury, but those who have reached the threshold of death will be sufficiently saved.”

“…thank you.”

I never expected that you would gift me something like this. But in a way, it was also the thing I needed the most. No matter how I solved other things with martial arts, it was impossible to save a dying person with the martial arts I had learned. Because my sword is a flesh sword, not a bow sword.

“I’d like to give you more, but this is the only elixir I have. I tried to get more, but the elixir released on the continent dried up…”

Dean Amelia sighed with an expression of regret.

“it’s okay.”

“Then, after I return to the Imperial Mage Tower, I will send someone else.”

“yes.”

* * *

“Master. Are you here?”

In front of the carriage with the Flemish family’s pattern on it, Princess Riena put her hands on her stomach and greeted Carol.

Carol silently approached Princess Riena, put her hand on her hair, and lightly massaged her hair.

“Aww! Master, why are you doing this again?”

“I’m curious what you’re thinking since you’re doing it out of place.”

“It doesn’t suit you… it’s too much.”

Sulking her lips, Princess Riena tapped the ground with her foot.

“It’s a joke.”

“Master’s fortress is a bit strange. And don’t touch a woman’s hair carelessly. They usually hate it.”

“Then I won’t touch a hair on you from now on.”

“No, I’m not saying don’t touch it at all…”

Princess Riena widened her eyes and waved her hands in bewilderment.

“hmm.”

“No, it’s okay. Just touch the master as you please.”

At Carol’s subtle expression, Princess Riena gave up with her shoulders drooping.

“I don’t care. Master.”

“Yulia, you…?!”

Watching the three of them doing that.

Selina shook her head and sighed heavily.

“Everyone, it’s time to leave…”

Selina was already worried about the road to the Imperial Mage Tower.
