91. Let’s talk for a while. (2)

“…… As a result, it failed. Should I look for another way?”

The Elder Mage of the 7th Circle of the Mage Tower, Frey, muttering that while holding a crystal ball.

After finishing his report to the crystal ball, Frey bowed his head as if he had no face.

Crackle.

There was static and silence, and then a voice came through the crystal ball.

-…… Okay. Does that mean the child has already recovered his powers up to the 8th circle? It’s wonderful too.

“…… Yes? Did you know that Lucia Mage was the 8th Circle?”

Lucia’s ‘before losing the circle’ official circle is the 7th circle.

The magicians of the Mage Tower who knew her also remembered her former stage as the 7th circle.

That’s how it spread. At the time, that alone was shocking enough.

But the one behind the crystal ball seemed to already know that.

-I asked if you knew. Yeah i knew She’s known him since he first entered the 8th circle. She had to hide it in order to keep the mage tower stable.

“Tower Lord… ….”

I hope that the world will know, a magician who has reached the stage of the unique 8th circle.

The only owner of the ‘Magic Tower’, the symbol of wizards’ wisdom.

Magic tower lord Carmen.

-Good job. Come back to the Magic Tower.

“Yes? …… Didn’t you have to retrieve ‘Triumph’? And… ….”

It was the reason why the Magic Tower tried to intercept her request in the middle.

Treasures of the Kingdom of Briseyton. Artifact Triumph.

It was inherited with too much faith, and it has already lost its appearance as an artifact.

That’s why it is necessary to replace or retrieve counterfeits before they completely change. That was Frey’s original mission.

It is a bonus to strengthen your influence in the Duchy of Briseyton, which has already lost its first prince in the process.

Even once that is put aside…….

I have to decide what to do with Lucia.

It’s nothing else, it’s the magician of the 8th circle.

If she revealed that she was a member of the 8th Circle, it was certain that the Mage’s Tower would fall into chaos.

You’ll have to find a way to get rid of it somehow, even for the sake of the Magic Tower.

At that point, what the tower owner said was quite out of the blue.

-The prince saw the future. Lucia…… You won’t come back alive

“…… Yes?”

In the past, it was a disaster that took away magic along with light from Lucia.

Lucia herself said that she couldn’t figure out the monster’s identity, but…… She actually knew

She knew it was a melting pot disaster.

Just buried. If that’s true, humanity will be deeply indebted to a wizard named Lucia.

The name “Catastrophe” Carried such weight.

Thousands, or even tens of thousands, with just one appearance. A force that might erase more lives.

No matter how imperfect it is, though. Lucia prevented the disaster alone. As a result, she self-destructed, but that fact was certain.

That’s why she wrote evil and buried her exploits.

If she misses now, she might miss a golden opportunity to bury that brilliant talent.

I wonder if it was a phenomenal talent after all.

Lucia finally bloomed. 8Th circle, she regained her original strength.

Just.

-It’s unfortunate. A wizard who once lost magic at the hands of disaster. She will die at the hands of disaster again.

The disaster that will appear this time…… It would be a disaster that she couldn’t stop.

* * *

It didn’t take long to clear up the misunderstanding with Raneia.

Since I subdued her, she hasn’t used her powers at all.

Rather, did the labor of taking off her outerwear and wrapping it around her to cover her hair?

After Raneia, who regained her honorifics, heard her rough situation, she asked.

“So. …… Is it a coincidence that you found out that I am a siren?”

“What. It’s similar.”

After saying that, Raneia shrugged her shoulders and furrowed her brow in disbelief.

She’s a story hard enough to believe. It wasn’t even true in the first place.

From noble mtl dot com

Just to explain how I found out she was her siren…… I’ll have to tell you the story before her return.

“It’s hard to believe, but…… I can’t believe it.”

It must have been hard to believe. Raneia seemed to understand her.

No, should I call this consent?

Or… ….

“Because I know first. Could you ask me to clean up those bloody eyes?”

“Lucia?”

“…… Chit.”

It must have been glare at Raneia from behind without my knowledge.

Chit, after muttering that, Lucia turned her head around.

Yes what. She has no choice but to understand the situation.

Raneia was defeated by me in the first place. Above all, Lucia was behind me.

I did not intervene in the battle. Being a magician of the 8th circle had that much weight to it.

Even I would have a hard time subduing Lucia with immediate force.

On the contrary, I’d be glad if I didn’t get overpowered.

I wonder if you noticed that my gaze kept going to the boat behind her.

Tsk, Raneia clicked her tongue.

“And you guys, go back to the boat. It seems that this person has business with me.”

“Vice-captain…… !”

Mystic Pirate’s crew.

Befitting these outstanding mercenaries and sailors at the same time, all of them were expert level.

But what stands out more than his skill is his loyalty.

It seemed like he was willing to rush in and rescue Raneia at any moment, even at the cost of his own life.

“It’s an order from the vice-captain, so stay inside. In the first place, you are not even helpful.”

…… What. Although it’s a different story if you can rescue Raneia and take her away by sacrificing her life.

“…… Aren’t you being too cold?”

“Because it is difficult if there are many ears to listen. In my mind, it would be easier for that wizard to use the magic again, but if I use that magic again, I think he will ignore the order and run at it this time.”

It’s a very plausible story. From their point of view, it would be a situation where their vice-captain was overpowered in the first place.

If you lock it in the barrier again, you might even be able to hit it with cannons from the ship this time.

Of course, as Raneia said, no matter what they do, such as grinding cannons, as long as Lucia is on this side, they can be stopped without damage.

It’s burdensome for things to grow like that.

It’s a story that could lead to conflict between countries and war with empires.

One thing is certain…… When such a battle takes place, no one is confident enough to subdue it so that no one is killed.

Are you sure that the crew didn’t go in even though they didn’t look back?

When she lowered her voice, Raneia shouted in a rather stern voice.

“Aren’t you going in soon? I will try to solve it.”

The sailors, who hesitated at Raneia’s words, went inside the ship as soon as Raneia let out a bloody voice.

…… Okay. With this, the bystander is solved.

“Anyway. You can think of it simply. I helped you, so you help me too.”

“…… I’ll tell you, but tell me about the Siren’s residence. Or, if I do anything to harm the Sirens, I will kill myself right away.”

The way he said that was calm.

With the softly shining eyes of Ranei, she was proving that the story of her suicide was neither exaggerated nor false.

You’ve already lost the fight. She seems to think that only her own life is worth weighing on her scale.

It was the warrior’s eye.

Go and go. The noble, proud eyes of an honorable warrior.

An enemy that cannot be defeated.

The eyes of such a brave man who did not back down even a single step until the moment he died even in the face of ‘disaster’.

In the first place, I didn’t intend to ask where the siren was…… He would probably kill himself to hand over such information.

And if that happens, the trouble will be this way.

They suddenly killed the vice-captain of the ‘Mystic Pirates’, a group that was officially recognized by them in a foreign territory.

No matter how much I am a noble of the empire, and even a member of Duke Reinhardt’s family, I will not be able to avoid gossip.

“I have no intention of asking you where the sirens are. However, I just want to ask you a few trivial things.”

Nod.

Raneia nodded her head reluctantly. Before I could speak——a curious wolf snatched the question away.

“Siren. Don’t you enchant people with your real song and drown them in the sea?”

“…… Is it a provocation? Is this a provocation?”

Raneia is about to pick up the distant spear.

As I barely grabbed hold of it, Raneia muttered with a grinding sound.

“There are still people spreading nonsense about the Siren, so I thought I’d sew them all up.”

“…… I’m sorry. I will apologize for everything.”

Sailor, that’s nasty…….

No matter how it is, what should I do if I make racist remarks in front of my face?

When I looked at Rin with such eyes, Rin tried to pretend not to see her and rolled her eyes.

“I hope the question that lady asks is not the same as yours. I almost lost even the slightest will to have a conversation.”

“It’s not like that. I’ll ask just one thing. As for you, how strong are you within the Siren?”

At first glance, it sounds like you are trying to estimate the fighting power of the sirens.

Even he seemed more willing compared to Rin’s question. Raneia, who paused for a while, spoke.

“…… Second.”

“Yes?”

“Second strong. …… I am stronger than I am now in the water.”

I wonder if it felt like a question that I asked back in the moment, ‘Is a scoundrel like you second?’.

Raneia cleared her throat and added words. …… I didn’t mean that.

Hagi Knight Her body is a siren. She dealt with the sea even in an independent space, so if the battle background itself was the sea, it would be many times stronger.

With that thought, her doubts were also cleared.

Obviously she was strong, but…….

I wonder why, apart from her mental strength, she is absurdly weak to deal with disasters day and night for nearly two weeks.

It must have been because there was no water.

It was like fighting while unintentionally sealing her organs.

Okay then this is done.

“I want to ask you one more question. Have you ever seen this stuff? Whether you’ve seen it yourself, or even from a record.”

After saying that, I pulled out a “Mechanical device” From the subspace pouch.

Flash! Flash!

Is it because Ciela is nearby? A dazzling flickering mechanism.

“…… That!”

“…… !”

Raneia’s eyes widened when she saw the mechanism.

An expression as if he had seen something very surprising.

My face hardened at that reaction. …… After all, it’s not an ordinary thing, is it?

What is the identity of this mechanism? Just as I was about to ask that question, Raneia jumped at me.

“…… What is it? Is this a machine newly developed by the Empire?”

“… ….”

Is this also a magic unique to the Siren race? Suddenly, a hand went to the back of his neck.

…… Ah-oh.
