Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 245

The problem is that this world likes different names too much. It's the same for me being called a mad dog or a guillotine among adventurers, and it's the same for being called Levien's guillotine among nobles, and this causes serious problems..

These people are so concerned about their tinnitus that they don't actually know people's names..

A noble is a noble. Commoners share their rumors as commoners do. It is up to the nobles to listen to the rumors of the commoners, but it is not easy for the commoners to listen to the rumors of the nobles. As a result, most people who hear rumors about me do not think that Levien's Guillotine and Adventurer Guillotine are the same person..

If you know the name, you'll be like, 'Huh? They may wonder, ‘Are they the same person?’, but the idea of ​​an adventurer playing tricks on nobles and the idea of ​​an unknown person who can play a trick among nobles becoming an adventurer are probably unrealistic fantasies in their minds. You could even say it’s natural. Perhaps the adventurer Guillotine carries a dog, and Levien doesn't have a dog..

''If two guillotines clash, who will win?' With the same thing, you can make jokes while drinking, so what more can you expect?.

As there is no widespread means of communication, we only remember the nicknames that left a strong impression on us through our past actions rather than the names that are complicated and cumbersome to memorize as we move from one mouth to the other, and like Buex of Englem, Envelde died at the hands of someone in the capital. This is a world where there are many cases where we don't even hear the correct information..

So, just being able to have the right information will inevitably lead to money and power. If you don't have information, you'll end up crawling on the floor like those who got corn in their hands..

Having suddenly experienced a meaningless random encounter, I took a step back, feeling deeply irritated. guard? In Adventurer District, if security comes because of a fistfight, someone is either bribing someone or it's a family member. Judging by the looks of those birds, they must have been Cheong-level or Red-level, but they must have been quietly suppressed out of shame, and then moved on to do something to manipulate them..

As I headed to the Dwarf District, I bought two suitable bottles of alcohol to express my gratitude to Mr. Balkun, who gave me two awesome weapons as a gift. I brought him something strong to drink, one by himself and one to share with the people I work with, and he smiled and welcomed me with a smile that almost hit his ears..

"LOL, why did you bring all this! While I'm here, let's get some equipment maintenance done.!"

I gave it as a gift with the feeling of managing my network because I thought I would receive long-term help in the future, but seeing the smiles blooming in an instant made me think that it was a good choice. After a brief chat and a grand send-off, we arrived at Seneran's Magic Library, which was much more crowded than the last time we visited..

Adventurers also tend to stay for long periods of time during the off-season, like bears preparing for winter. I didn't quite understand why it was so crowded, so I was looking around in confusion when an employee approached me..

"Hello guest. This time, you brought someone other than an elf.?"

"...ah. The guide you gave me last time."

The person who approached me with a somewhat vague smile was the kind employee who guided me when I visited with Asilier..

"It's called Nelby! I heard the story from the library director! He told me to bring guests upstairs if they come.."

"Thank goodness. I was worried because I already said I would come see you but didn't say a specific time or method.."

When I took off my coat and greeted him in a warmth that was completely different from the weather outside, Nelby responded with a bright smile. He then turned his gaze to Laika, who was panting while looking at the surroundings at his feet, and asked..

"So cute! Can I touch it??"

"I won't really care."

Nelby stroked Laika while tilting his head. It was only after seeing Laika's reaction, which did not react much to his petting and just looked around, that he understood what I was saying and was amazed..

"You're so calm, aren't you? I guess it's because it's a smart dog breed.?"

"They are much smarter than regular dogs.."

As I was climbing the stairs to the second floor, guided by Nelby, who was reasonably convinced by the appropriate answer, I suddenly turned around and looked down at Leica. Sure enough, there was a tearful scene unfolding as people struggled to climb the stairs with their short legs..

[Lord, master! I have a hard time with stairs!]

"Yeah, I thought so.."

If he was running wild to fight, he would have jumped over it, but when he moved normally, he just picked up Laika, a Welsh corgi, and followed Nelby up again, and surprisingly, the stairs continued all the way to the third floor..

"Is this magic too? It was clearly a two-story building when seen from the outside.."

"that's right. It’s one of the few perks the association offers. Not everyone can receive it.."

I briefly used my magic to check the surroundings, but I couldn't see anything as if it was working internally. While I was thinking about what I might see if I checked outside the building later, the third floor I arrived at was only a door left hanging, as if it was a private space with no other space..

Then Nelby walked up to the door, knocked three times, and opened the door before he could hear an answer..

"president! A guest has arrived!"

"Why on earth are you knocking? You’ve finally come.!"

Seneran, who was fiddling with something with his hair tied up and loose-fitting clothes wearing glasses, got angry and quickly walked over to Laika, who was belatedly holding him in his arms..

"Isn't it Leica? Something has changed?"

"I brought you here because I wanted to get some advice on that.."

It took quite some time just to explain Laika's change process and her past actions to Seneran, who had bitten Nelby with just a hand gesture, but even after hearing the whole story, the doubts did not leave her face..

"To be honest... it's absurd. To excrete the materials that originally made up the body and construct the body with magical power. Just as you are an unprecedented magic user, Laika is also an unprecedented case of being a magic sword but not a magic sword, so there doesn't seem to be any case to compare it to.."

Instead, he looked very serious and began to look at Laika closely. From my point of view, I thought it was a great achievement just to say that she had begun to construct her body with magic, but it seemed like that wasn't the case for her..

"Since I've dealt with demons, I have a rough idea of ​​what it means to build one's body with magical energy, but just replacing meals with magical energy has this effect.?"

"That's the problem. There are a lot of demons who use demon swords, but there are no cases like this at all.."

"...You speak with great confidence.?"

"I'm originally from the Demon Territory.."

Her answer was so indifferent that I unconsciously checked her head, but I couldn't see any traces of horns, let alone horns. Seeing my explicit reaction, Sene Ran burst out laughing and continued her explanation, ruffling her messy hair..

"I am human. I lived and studied there for about 20 years before the war broke out.."

oh my god. 20 years? Even though she looks like she is only in her late 20s, she seems to have been a magician who slowed down aging as seen in her novels. Perhaps that surprise was evident in my expression as well, as Seneran opened her axe-shaped eyes and said, as if she was a little displeased..

"Don't ask my age."

"I've lived with an elf, so I'm a bit insensitive to age.."

"Hmmm."

Seneran cleared his throat and looked at Leica one more time, but the result was no different..

"I really don't know anything right now. I think we'll have to wait and observe professionally.."

"Well, I didn't think I'd be able to figure everything out right away. Now, I would like to talk a little about the person who will be my teacher.."

"Withra? I already sent a letter and talked to him. As you said, he responded properly this time.."

"yes? Already?"

Since he seemed to be so tied together, I thought he would have to stand in the middle and act as a mediator, but Seneran had the ability to act more boldly than he seemed..

"He explained how he learned about it and said he was willing to cooperate for the development of magic, so he asked to meet and talk.."

"I haven't heard anything at all."

"Because I, Weed, and you were all busy. I was planning to organize it and finalize it within this week.."

For someone who is blind to research, he is quite considerate. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to be a mad scientist..

"First of all, I just want to get a quick sample of your magic power today. Any problems?"

"Eh? Can I get a sample of that??"

"It's a tool used by demons. They are also a race that has wizards and groups. Of course, it's a bit cumbersome for me to use, but I've already prepared that much.."

Seneran smiled and took out something that looked like a strange-looking dropper and asked for my consent with an enthusiastic look, so I nodded and obediently activated my magic power. Seneran, who was capable of feeling magical power, ran around and brought the dropper to me..

"at las!"

To be honest, that meaningful smile was a little creepy, but I was sure it had no malicious intent, so I decided to focus on the tool she was holding. Looking closely, the structure seems to be closer to a syringe than a dropper. I thought he was going to stab me with that thing, but fortunately that didn't happen. I just held it close to me and pulled it while squeezing the handle..

Then, surprisingly, colorful lights began to fill the body of the glass tool. But that doesn’t mean it sucks magical energy from my body. It was more like just gathering the magic power that was scattered on the outside..

"oh. This is just what I see?"

I was secretly amazed at seeing magic power even without using magic power, so when I expressed pure admiration, Seneran, who had been smiling, opened his eyes and asked a question..

"what? This is what you see now...? Wait, 'I just see it?' you could see the magic?"

Oh, wasn't it visible? Even though I didn't specifically use magic vision, I could see the light, so I thought Seneran was also watching, but it seems that wasn't the case at all. Since we decided to cooperate together anyway, there was nothing to hide, so I nodded appropriately and said..

"yes. If you focus your magic on your eyes, you can see it.."

Seneran frowned as if he was faced with all the unfairness in the world, despite the words being said purely to show a cooperative attitude..
