8. to the magic tower. (3)

“My name is Kayle von Reinhardt, who has decided to stay in the Mage Tower for a few days. Nice to meet you.”

Having said that, I nodded lightly.

“Ah, yes… … . You are Prince Reinhardt. My name is Lunin. He is the mage of the Mage Tower.”

“Is that so? I’m more curious about this one than that one.”

I, who answered Lunin’s answer as unemotionally as possible, looked at Lucia.

At first glance, it might seem rude, but it shouldn’t be a big problem.

The only one I asked to meet was Lucia from the beginning.

For another mage to intervene in that, it was close to being far-fetched.

Lucia’s pride and my eyes for designating her as a wizard.

In a way, it was like insulting both of them at the same time.

Even if he overturned it in this place, there was nothing to bow down for just cause.

It wouldn’t be a good thing for me or Lucia if I overturned it here, so I decided to put up with it.

After realizing the implications of my short words, Lunin, who was silent for a moment, spoke.

“… … sorry. You’ve been fooling around. I heard that you came to visit Lucia. Is there a reason for that?”

“It was because there was something to be advised by the wizard.”

“If that’s the case, you wouldn’t have to choose such a flawed wizard, would you? If you did it because you didn’t know, I’ll give you a chance to meet a wizard who is better than me. Or maybe I can give you some advice.”

Strangely, it seemed to come out in a low-key position.

In the guy who said that, there was a slight sense of inferiority and a vague sense of superiority.

still.

I’m better than that guy

Such a low-level competitive spirit.

Lunin.

I didn’t remember hearing the name in particular in the previous episode, but judging by his momentum, he wouldn’t be an ordinary person.

If you play it as a circle, it’s about 5 circles.

Compared to his age, he was at a fairly good level.

He was probably a wizard taking an elite course even within the Magic Tower.

If you are an ordinary noble, it might be better to accept his opinion and protect your pride at this point.

Didn’t I have a strong back stomach?

No matter what he did, the duke’s foolishness, he’d have no problem.

“Okay, it looks like you’re just being lazy. It seems that the wizard I need is not you, but Mage Lucia.”

how to listen

You are a word that can be interpreted as inferior to Lucia.

Was it only then that I belatedly recalled the rumor?

Realizing that he was an idiot who couldn’t communicate, Lunin made a bitter face and stepped back.

“yes. Then, I hope you can get good results.”

“Sure. Probably.”

I mean, it’s because you missed it.

He didn’t bother spitting it out, he swallowed it, but he didn’t seem to understand anything.

up

It was probably not an illusion that Lunin gritted his teeth like that as he left the door.

There are things called ‘holy relics’ among the things that are deeply connected with the power of the gods.

It is an object that is incomparable to a single human-made artifact.

At the same time, it was also an item that the imperial family was strictly prohibited from possessing by individuals.

among dogs.

The name of the sacred object that the first prince, Evan Beatus, had his eye on was a guy named Mencadium.

Mencadium, the holy relic of the false god.

Its intuitive effect is—dominion over the emotions of others.

It was brainwashed.

It doesn’t work for people like sword masters or archmages.

Not everyone in the world is that strong. Despite being strong, there were weaknesses.

For example, a spirit sage who borrows the power of the spirit rather than using power directly.

Maybe it won’t work even for the spirits who contracted with the real high spirits.

I’ll have to do some more experimentation on this.

It was a woman’s voice that awakened Beatus, who was deep in thought.

“pup… … Because of you, I… … !”

It was unbelievable that he was speaking to the first prince of the empire.

A hateful voice with no dignity or formality.

However, the joy felt from the one-dimensional anger was so thrilling.

Evan, who was shaking his body, said with a grin.

“well? What do you say when you throw your lover away with your own hands? Helene.”

The daughter of Count Swarz, who promised to marry the first prince of the Duchy of Briseyton.

Helen.

It was her name as well as the test subject used as the first test subject of Mencadium.

And the result of the experiment would be a great success.

she lost her mind

I just watched like a scarecrow until the first prince despaired and hanged himself.

“Aagh!”

A scream, or something that could not be uttered in words.

Helene, who had vented her anger, rushed at Beatus, but it didn’t mean much.

“Oh, casually. I never thought I would run like this already.”

Damn!

As Beatus clapped, Mencardium activated and her pupils blurred.

But that’s for a while.

Perhaps because she was freed from brainwashing once, she developed resistance, and the light began to return to her eyes again.

Of course, it was just a meaningless outburst.

f*ck!

As Evan beckoned, a minion who appeared struck her on the back of the neck, knocking her out.

Evan, who did not even pay attention to Helen, who was drooping down, muttered to his servant.

“This… after all, it’s quite useful.”

“How do I organize it?”

“Take care of it yourself. She’s useless now.”

Imperial sun. prince.

He had one bad hobby.

Separating lovers and watching a relationship tear apart in between.

In the past, I was excited about the act of stealing a lover, but there was a limit to that in the end.

So, isn’t it only one side that despairs?

What he wants is the despair of both lovers.

Also, unrefined hatred that stings and even terrifies.

Because that primary hatred was so ecstatic that it could not be expressed in words.

It’s annoying in the usual way.

If you use this holy relic, it won’t be impossible.

I’m tired of ruining a relationship by simply taking a woman away.

It’s good to have a deep relationship and bring out more hopeless feelings.

Yes, stealing is just getting excited about the reaction after being stolen.

Taking that body was secondary.

‘Rather, there is a possibility that the brainwashing will be released due to the resistance psychology in the process of getting drunk. It’s just useless.’

In fact, even Helene, who was only an ordinary human, showed signs of resistance when he tried to touch her body.

It would probably be close to impossible to touch the body.

However, that was enough.

A lover who betrayed the one he loved with his own hands.

Aren’t you excited enough to send chills down your spine just thinking about it?

More than primary material pleasures, such as body-violation.

A higher level of pleasure and exhilarating pleasure.

Of course, I wasn’t doing this just for pleasure.

If you ask me if there is no time for that, again it is not.

Most of them will be a way to appoint an opponent who needs to be thrown into the pit of necessity.

The subject of this first experiment was also for that reason.

The 1st Prince of the Duchy of Briseyton.

He had the highest approval rating, and at the same time, he was the one who did not move freely.

You should have known that if you didn’t bend it, it would break.

In that sense, the false god’s relic, Mencadium, must be quite useful.

It’s a holy thing that manipulates human emotions.

Isn’t it really the best?

There will probably be a lot of things to use often in the future.

Thinking so, Evan let out an ugly laugh.

* * *

Even in a dark room with little sunlight, her silver hair shone as if it were self-luminous.

The tightly closed eyes never opened once since we met.

I knew that beautiful purple eyes were hidden inside.

A beautiful appearance that anyone who sees it for the first time will admire it.

What should I say more?

It was like a fairy, even mysterious.

And harsh words of profanity came out of her mouth.

“… … f*ck.”

“yes?”

“no. Something suddenly feels dirty. I’m sorry if I offended you.”

… … Lucia is a tough talker.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, so I smiled when I saw her.

okay. There were times like this.

Betrayed by those you trusted.

After that, in order to prevent others from approaching, it looked like a hedgehog with a lot of thorns.

What she says so sharply.

It must have been to protect himself in it.

Trusting someone and being abandoned by necessity.

Really, it was cruel.

“that… … Did you say your name is Kale? What should I call you?”

“You can just call me Kale. I have no shame in receiving respect from the position of seeking advice.”

“okay. Then, without reservation. Let me ask you one thing first. … … Why did you ask me for advice on magic?”

I can’t use magic, and I’m just a defective product with no eyes.

I didn’t even spit it out until the end of it.

The bitter look on her face seemed to tell it.

Actually, getting advice on magic was just an excuse.

No matter how duke Reinhardt is, if you find someone you like and ask for permission to enter the Mage Tower, you’re sure to dismiss it as nonsense.

However, that did not mean that there were no reasons other than treatment for deciding to meet her.

“Because you are the best wizard I know.”

“… … what?”

Did that sound rather unpleasant?

Lucia frowned, but there was no way my thoughts would change.

Lucia is the best wizard. A real wizard with talent that no one dares to compare.

perhaps.

To the extent that I might be able to tell you the reason for my regression.

To be honest, at first I wondered if the regression itself was Lucia’s magic.

Seeing this attitude, I don’t think that’s the case again.

After thinking about what to say for a while, I decided to honestly say what I knew.

“At the magic tower, the magic circles that are released several times a month. you know? Every time it comes out, the academic society is overturned, and this is a revolution, anyway, there is a lot of talk.”

From magic that raises the overall efficiency several times simply by giving it to the magic circle.

Excellent type of attribute magic or destructive magic.

And even climate magic.

There was a reason for the Mage Tower’s high standing in the Empire.

The magician’s revival.

It was definitely those magics that were leading it.

“… … uh, yes.”

Lucia, who heard what I was saying, answered in a rare crawling voice.

That’s right, those magic circles were all Lucia’s creations.

It would be nice to be praised by others, but even if one’s achievements were taken away, one couldn’t be satisfied with it.

Because she is a wizard by nature.

Even if you’re not a wizard, it’s natural.

However, it was impossible to say the truth casually.

It’s self-evident that no one will believe it even if you tell it.

If you tell me about it, nothing will change other than giving her even more disadvantage in the Mage Tower.

Likewise.

It was a tissue that had rotted from the inside out.

The magic tower, the symbol of wizards.

I laughed strangely for a while and said it was nothing special.

“All of those things were done by Mage Lucia.”

“… … ?!”

Certainly, the truth about this fact is known only to a very few in the Mage Tower.

Of course, there is no way that Lunin informed them.

While Lucia put on a confused expression, I decided to drive a wedge completely.

“And there’s nothing wrong with not being able to use magic with a curse.”

A curse that seals the magical power and eyesight she received from ‘Calamity’.

Because I came here now to release it.
