18. Encounter (2)

The estate of the Viscount Mayrille was an ordinary one with nothing special about it. After farming through spring and summer, they harvest food in autumn and store food in winter. Special products do not exist separately, and there are no tourists or tourist points because it is a rural village in a corner. Even the connected territories were rural territories with no prominent place, so only small and medium-sized merchants did not come.

There was only one inn because there were no guests, and the common back alley thugs were just the level of bullies in the neighborhood. Everyone across the house knew each other, and the viscounts didn’t have the same authority as the village chief.

Fro Den waited for her lady while reviewing the information of the May Lil estate that Hadun had been investigating. According to the information, it was written that until recently, it was difficult for carriages to travel because there were no well-maintained roads. However, as a result of checking it myself when I came today, although it is still insufficient, the central road where the wagons should pass was perfectly maintained, so I felt a sense of difference.

It was very similar to the road he had paved in the duke’s estate, to the point of feeling bad.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. We have prepared the most popular fragrances in our top. I heard that Young master is currently engaged, so I brought a perfect gift for him. I hope you like it.”

The fan was uncomfortable to hold, so it appeared with a grotesque face wearing a mask that covered more than half of the face. The appearance of the woman wearing a simple design dress and a white mask without any pattern was a look that would have been admired if it were not for Froden.

“I can’t believe they treated me like this even on a sudden visit. I am just grateful.”

She took it seriously. She picked up the perfume with a grateful smile. Last year at the magic tower, a newly developed unbreakable barrel was stamped with a magic seal to create a simple but stylish design. There was a trick to take a picture of the maker pattern on the top and make anyone who sees this mark remind of the Mayril Merchant.

“Can I smell the incense for a moment? I wonder what kind of scent it will be.”

“Once you open it, the fragrance starts to evaporate, so I recommend not opening it.”

Froden, who was about to open the tightly sealed lid and smell the scent, relaxed her and put her bottle back in the box. When she handed her box to Hadoon, who was waiting behind her, and looked at her May Lil her lady, she noticed that she was staring at him.

“If you want to smell the incense, can you excuse me?”

As Froden nodded her head in agreement, her Lady May Lil leaned forward. She brought her body closer, subtly appealing to her breastbone, extending her arm and pointing the inside of her wrist at Froden. Then her delicate scent wafted up and tickled her nose.

“This incense is a magnolia.”

“One of my favorite flowers. It was incredibly difficult to extract this incense.”

“The technology of extracting incense is still difficult even in the Magic Tower, but you are amazing.”

“…Ha ha ha. Fortunately, the research results are good.”

He did not pursue the young lady who was equivocating her words to the end. Pushing too hard now can have the opposite effect. Today, I just came to explore, so let’s not forget that duty. Froden closed and opened her eyes once.

“There is a regular event to share research results at the Magic Tower next week. How about attending it?”

“…Was there such an event at the Mage Tower?”

“If you are not interested in the Mage Tower schedule, this information is unfamiliar to you. This event was held three years ago just to share knowledge among wizards.”

“Oh, my God~ It’s amazing.”

Hot coffee flowed into her mouth painted with red makeup. As soon as she opened her mouth, the imprint of her intense lips was left on the teacup. Embarrassed, her act of making her elongated coffee left no trace of her lips on the teacup.

“If you share the technology to extract the incense, the Mage’s Tower will give you useful information for various businesses. You don’t have to worry about information leakage. It is illegal to share knowledge with unauthorized people.”

“I’m technically an outsider, so isn’t it the same?”

“Participation in the event itself is equivalent to permission. If you want, I can write you a letter of recommendation.”

“Come to think of it, Young master had a close relationship with the Magic Tower.”

A suspicious feeling leaked from Lady Mayril’s eyes for an instant. She burst into laughter as she rolled her eyes around trying to figure herself out. No matter how carefully she looked, it was obvious.

“Since Young master has goodwill, I will try to think positively.”

“It’s up to the young lady’s will whether or not to participate, so I understand. If you have made up your mind, please contact the duke by this week.”

I took out the business smile skill from my previous life knowledge and demonstrated it. I said it grandiosely, but in fact, it’s just a beauty world that believes in a proud face and throws it.

“Hmmm.”

Anyway, it seems that the world of beauty works well, probably because I am a possessor. It seems to be a soul that came from a place similar to the environment of its previous life in many ways, such as knowledge and behavior.

“Is that the main purpose of your visit? To invite you to the Mage Tower event.”

Perhaps it was to end the visit in a hurry, he turned around and brought up a topic he had been avoiding. Froden, who wanted to take a little more time and extract information in various ways, had no choice but to step back.

“I can’t deny that. However, the main purpose is different.”

You can create any number of opportunities. If you keep an eye on her and find something different about her Tina, that might be a clue.

She has a clue that will exorcise her damn soul.

“Wouldn’t you like to collaborate with our duchy and do business in a bigger water?”

To do that, you need a place to meet regularly. Froden was dumbfounded, and she smiled brightly as she looked at Lady Mayleel, who was looking at her.

————————

“I did the experiment as you said, and there was a response.”

A twisted voice pierced my ears. Even at that age, I wonder how his vocal cords are so strong.

“Tap Jouemon doesn’t change even when he gets older.”

“Suddenly, why are you f*cking with your age? You too will grow old someday.”

She screamed and sat down on the other desk to avoid the cane she was swinging. The tower owner’s forehead wrinkled at the sight, but he didn’t say anything else.

Unlike the laboratory, the study was literally a place where only books were stored, so it didn’t matter where I sat. If I had done that in the lab, I’d have split my head with a cane.

“I still have to think about it for a while because the structure of the body and the structure of the soul are different for each creature. Even animals have succeeded.”

“aaagh!”

“So Poohup. What kind of animal soul is put in that, so it screams?”

“What is screaming? That’s his cry.”

“aaagh!”

The iron window in the laboratory was reflected through a communication device installed on one side of the study. A grotesque sound was erupting from the cat’s mouth, which was staring to the left with its head raised in a stiff posture.

“The original cry? Is that?”

“There is a rare animal called an elk that sometimes appears in the forest.”

“But among so many animals, is it really an elk?”

“I heard it was crying loudly near the mage tower. I was annoyed.”

Froden had no choice but to agree with the Tower Master’s words. When I searched for elk in previous life knowledge, it was also designated as an animal with quite a notoriety in the countryside.

“What do you think about people?”

“I told you earlier. That each organism is different. Humans are dangerous to experiment with. If you’re fussy, you’ll be misunderstood as forbidden magic. Then it’s an experiment and everything is over.”

At that, Froden held her head. No matter how many animals I experimented on, I didn’t feel guilty. Instead, humans are different. The risk of taking his life is high, and if it is discovered that he is experimenting with the soul, he will not even be able to protest even if he is accused of heresy.

“Then let’s stop this experiment as it is. You can’t do it even at the risk of being accused of heresy. I will have to find another way.”

Froden was not obstinate. It is also an unmistakable fact that the tower owner is halfway interested in himself, but he is taking risks and helping. He need not risk such a person.

There is no way that the owner of the tower would not be aware of Froden’s consideration. Proden has always been like that.

“I just want to keep revising the formula once. Maybe not Maybe something will explode at this point.”

“It is still difficult to give up the greed for research.”

“Then you have no intention of folding it like this, are you? Please don’t use it on people.”

Froden quietly smiled at the tower owner’s trustworthy words. He nodded, but there’s no reason not to use this formula on people. Because there is no one more precious to me than Tina.

And in the back alleys, there are many people who don’t mind dying anytime.
