Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 176
Perhaps because she was quite surprised, it took longer than expected for Esmuet to calm down and properly look at the sword floating in front of her..
"Oh, I'm not teasing you by picking up an artifact.?"
"You're saying things that would make someone think you're a third-rate wizard. Princess.."
This is as absurd a story as saying someone picked up a magic sword that had been spilled. The magic sword is more realistic..
Of course, Esmue herself was well aware of how outrageous she had said, but that didn't stop her from throwing hamburger punches and fighting. Still, like someone who learned magic, it seems like he understood the situation right away..
"oh my god. How can this be, that I really don't feel anything? What about your body? Is there really nothing wrong with your body??"
"Roughly...5 years old? Was it about that much? I've been practicing and using it since then, but it's fine. Rather, as I use it more and more, I have become more familiar with it and can make more detailed adjustments.."
"Hmm, I guess Asilier couldn't just ignore the problems developing with your body. But amazing things are amazing."
Even though they had only talked a few times, Esmuye seemed to have a fairly accurate understanding of Asilier..
"You say you can withstand magical power... but then, how does your power grow? It is said that aura and mana gradually increase in purity during the refining process and go up through the process of creating a body that can receive them, but isn't that true for you? However, this does not mean that it fully deals with magical power...."
"not weak."
"Hehehe. okay. It's a ridiculous statement, but it's true.."
I was stabbed by Envelde right away, so what more do I need to say?.
"If I had to put it into words... Experienced wizards use multiple layers of protection magic.."
"hmm. hmm."
"I'm just wearing a very strong protection spell. Depending on their level, Auror users may apply only a few weak protection spells or apply strong protection.."
"And you win if you destroy the protection magic first... but your protection magic is very strong.?"
"yes. There may be a possibility of casting something stronger than that protection spell, and there may be ways to stack it. There's only one thing I can do right now. But even the efficiency is not good?"
In the process of using power, leaks occur, so even if you swing the sword properly, your attacks are relatively ordinary for a person who uses magic power. Of course, compared to Aurors, this may seem like a tremendous achievement, but compared to the example of demons, there is bound to be a significant difference..
"Since it is an area that has nothing to do with humanity, it is difficult to understand. Still, I feel like I can understand it...."
"I can't say anything else than that. Because I don’t even have a teacher.."
To be exact, there was one. He is a wizard I met when I was young. Even though I only learned how to feel magical power, I can't deny that he was a teacher because if it wasn't for that, I would have lost it a long time ago..
What do you want to do with your life now? You seem like an adventurer. Maybe I'll meet you someday..
While I was immersed in those memories for a moment, Esmuet, who had been contemplating with her chin resting, nodded as if she understood..
"Everyone in the Yeo’s Royal Guard already had doubts about your skills, but you had this secret.."
"Eh? I did?"
"hmm. When we didn't talk to each other, we thought our eyes were still lacking, but when we talked together, everyone reported that they had misjudged your abilities. Other people may not know, but it is impossible for the entire Yeoui SS to have done so, so it was classified as a fairly important issue and was being reviewed.."
It's incredible confidence... but I can understand it. Later, I heard that the demon who attacked the academy at that time was almost completely killed. I would definitely die if I fought him. He let go of Daguri. It wasn't Mane's problem, but stopping him was also urgent..
"It's a blind spot. I can't see any way to help."
"It's a problem I can solve somehow, so don't worry too much about it. Anyway, for that reason, I appreciate Esmueh's offer, but I cannot accept it.."
"So, while you were in the Ogatorf family, you didn't even take a formal knightly course??"
"Well, that's a reason too. It was because I didn't like being restricted in my actions.."
There is a lot to learn to become a full-time engineer..
It's good to have a lot to learn, but excessive court etiquette and playing musical instruments cross the line. As a servant, how can I use the 60 desirable attitudes toward a lord?.
Even if you look at the in-depth courses such as how to treat a lord as a knight, how to treat a lady, and how to be polite to an enemy, there is no such thing as a great party. It's not like I can just choose to learn swordsmanship and strategy like applying to a university course, and the fact that the proportion of time spent needlessly being dragged around by others increases significantly is just a bonus..
What happens after you learn everything and become a knight? Since we received help from the Ogatorv family unilaterally, we have a lot to repay, and the country uses it as it pleases..
Training a knight is not free and it takes a long time, so it is a natural result, but from my point of view, it brings more harm than good, so I just avoid it..
"Anyway, even if I were to receive a swordsmanship from Lord Ekaf directly due to my skills, I would not gain enlightenment, and since I received a sergeant, I would only have responsibilities and obligations. Even if they are in the form of exclusive butlers, they receive the same combat training as other servants, so why bother? It would be beneficial to split your time and do at least one more adventurer job.."
"...You really have no greed for power.."
"I'm not interested. Revenge comes first."
"Aside from that, aren't you working hard on the common sense part?."
"Because I have no intention of giving up on life after revenge. Isn’t it natural that the world is not about living through ignorance and strength alone??"
After I have completed my revenge and achieved my goal, I will enjoy my life in heaven for now. certainly.
In order to do that, of course it's good to have a lot of friendly neighbors.?
"You are a person who I know but don't know. If you look at his actions, he seems to have a truly rogue way of thinking, but what he actually says is a royal way.."
"...I'm not sure what you're talking about.."
"This is what a scholar named Trisp Lichkaet argued. To put it simply, if you gain authority with respect, you will become king. If you get it through fear, you are a loser.."
Huh? That's completely blind...
"Well, that's attractive, so I guess it's good.."
Also, you casually say things that make people embarrassed. Isn’t this a normal male role? I'm going crazy, really..
I was embarrassed to react, so I quietly put the sword that was still floating in the air back into its sheath, and then there was the sound of urgent footsteps in the hallway and someone knocked on the door..
-The princess. Sorry for stopping by, but I wanted to ask if I could take Eldmia with me for a moment..-
"It seems quite urgent, but has something happened??"
Despite her relaxed voice, Esmueh had a sullen expression on her face, as if she had no intention of doing so..
-The court wizard came to visit us on matters related to the former Count Envelde....-
"...In that case, you should cooperate. I understand.."
"...Then I'll be back for a bit.."
Court wizard?
Are you doing some cutting-edge magic investigation? Although I looked dumbfounded by the unexpected visit, I got up from my seat and went out, and the maid with a familiar face let out a small sigh of relief..
Jenny, one of the few maids of her age in the mansion, was probably worried about what would happen if Esmueh rejected her..
"I really don't know how many times I have to strain my heart today.."
"What should I do because I’m sorry about this?."
"If you know!"
slap! I got hit on the forearm, but all I could do was laugh, so I apologized and was then escorted to the main hall..
"I heard the wizard's name?"
"Ah, what did you say? I definitely heard it..."
"calm down. You haven’t committed a crime, so why are you so impatient??"
"There must be something really strange about you. How can you remain so calm after meeting the princess??"
There's a secret there that can't be told... a heavy secret that can't be told to an adolescent girl..
"I am the one who also took the earl's head.."
"...Well, it’s not a normal pulpit to begin with.."
Jenny shook her head as if she was fed up, but seemed to have relaxed a little and immediately clapped her hands and continued speaking..
"ah! that's right. Regneva! You said Widra Regneva.!"
"...The name is not very unusual...?"
"...is it? I do not know."
I think the pronunciation is as unique as Lawinera, the last name of the Duke of Lesrom. Is it just me??
"Did you say that he also has great muscles??"
"Uh...no? You just seem ordinary.."
I guess not all high-ranking wizards have the muscle of a warrior. Now that I think about it, the handsome man in the empire who was unlucky to be good-looking was, according to Asilier, a skilled magician, but he was also slim..
With such trivial thoughts in mind, I arrived at the hall and, as always, Cheryl, whose eyes were rolling from the sudden encounter with a high-ranking official, was joined by someone with a hood pulled down..
I approached it with an exclamation that it could look so classy depending on the design even though it was just a robe and a hood, and Cheryl, who came to her senses as if she had seen a savior, introduced me to the other person..
"Eldmia. This person is Withra Regneva, one of the court wizards. It is said that he came here with permission from Duke Lawinera because he wanted to talk about what happened at the former Count Envelde's mansion.."
"It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Legnevar Court Wizard. It's called Eldmia Ega.."
"...Eldmia Ega?"
"yes. That's right."
"A survivor of a village west of Ogwen. Am I right?"
He bowed his head politely, then tilted his head and slowly raised his gaze. You know me that far?
"That's right... but how did you know??"
While I was wondering if the royal family had conducted an investigation, and wondering if there was any reason to mention it now, the wizard let out a long breath and slowly took off his hood and said..
"...4It's been... 10 years.."
For a moment, I was shocked as if lightning had struck me from the top of my head. When people are really shocked, they get dizzy. But I have to say something..
"wizard man...?"
"okay."
The eyes are droopy, as if somehow depressed. On the contrary, his eyebrows are slightly raised, as if he is angry somewhere. And clear sky blue eyes.
When I removed the hood, what was revealed was the wizard's face, which had not changed at all, as if it had been pulled straight from my memory..
"Now I can finally keep my promise.."
