My Villains Episode 217

46. dream master(7)

As soon as Ellen finished speaking, I kicked the floor and rushed at the old man..

“Wow,”

The man was so old that I couldn't guess his age. Let alone resisting, he couldn't even respond properly to my movements..

I grabbed Seitz by the back of his neck, pushed his face to the floor, and screamed backwards..

“tether! bring a rope!”

As soon as the words were out, archer Cole jumped out from among the mercenaries standing dumbly holding a bundle of rope..

“I'll tie it up.”

“No, give it to me.”

I took the rope and trapped Seitz myself. They tied both arms together with one rope and restrained them so that they could not move, and with another rope, they tied both wrists tightly and wrapped them under the neck and tied a knot..

“Ugh. Wait, wait a minute-”

“shut up. If you open your mouth without permission, I will rip out your tongue..”

The rough rope rubbed all over my body, leaving red marks, but there was no reason to worry about that..

Only then did the other mercenaries come this way..

“Seriously, why are you doing this??”

Fritz with the ponytail tapped Kol's shoulder as he aimed an arrow at the prone old man..

“He's an old man who will quickly fall behind even if you leave him alone. Anyway, as someone said, I don't have a human head.-”

“Shut up, Fritz. If you don’t want to be tied down either.”

As soon as he finished the capture and made a threat, Fritz, who had been giggling, closed his mouth. The freckled mummy sarcastically bit her smile..

“If you have a head, think about it. An old wizard, isn't it a scary thing to even imagine??”

Her eyes sparkled as she looked around the throne room in the light of the torch..

“Well, it's understandable that your eyes roll when you think of the treasures that wizard may have. enough.”

I looked back at Ellen with Mira’s words flowing through one ear..

“I don't feel any magic.?”

“……so do i.”

Ellen looked a little dazed, as if she couldn't believe the current situation where she was facing her teacher's enemy..

But even for a moment. The guy shook his head to come to his senses, adjusted his grip on the wand, and gave some advice..

“Maybe he's wearing a magical tool that erases his presence..”

After hearing those words, I searched the old man's body and found all sorts of things sticking out..

There were several pockets on his waist, which were filled with black powder, dried plant roots, and pieces of metal. Ellen took most of it to check, and a money bag came out so I took it..

There was also a dagger, so I pulled it out and felt magical power..

“Looks like a magic tool.”

He showed the dagger to Ellen and pointed to the strange letters engraved on the blade..

“What does this say??”

“Give it to me.”

Ellen took the dagger and looked at the text with a cautious face..

His magic tool appraisal skills were improving day by day..

When Ellen was in the palace, she was looked down on because she could not learn any spells, but she did not give in and accumulated all kinds of knowledge. So even before meeting me, he had sufficient basic knowledge about magic tools..

In addition, after traveling with me, I learned more than ten spells and my magical powers became even stronger. I don't know if it's because of that, but these days, it seems like you can get an estimate of what kind of magic tools you buy just by looking at them..

An example of this growth was the recent identification of a necklace obtained from the named orc, ‘Fangkog the Mad.’.

When I first got the necklace, I just felt an unknown resistance. So after being purified at church, I just walked around without knowing anything..

Recently, Ellen appraised it properly, and it turned out that the necklace was

It was a ‘lightning charm’ that increased resistance to electricity..

Only then did I realize that I had already benefited from lightning protection..

When the palace wizard chasing Ellen struck down a thunderbolt, I only fainted even though I was hit squarely by it. Well, I was left with some burns, but those healed quickly..

Now that I think about it, I think it was because of Lightning's charm that I was able to endure it like that..

Well, anyway. Ellen, who, although not a magic tool appraiser, had reached the level of an expert, immediately recognized the identity of the dagger..

“It's a transfer type spell..”

“transition?”

“huh. This guy probably made it himself..”

Ellen glanced down at the old man and continued speaking..

“Saitz is a magician who was expelled from the Order of Dawn. The Order of Dawn is as famous for its transfer magic as it is for its illusion magic..”

“So, exactly what order to engrave

I put it there?”

“See for yourself.”

With those words, the guy threw a dagger with letters engraved on it toward the wall..

Of course, since he has no talent in that area, the dagger drew a parabola at a speed so slow that it made you yawn..

‘Just when I was thinking, ‘I think I can grab it even if I stand up after doing three pushups,’ a strange thing happened..

yes-

“ Ugh?”

The dagger that was cutting through the air suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of the stone wall.!

“‘The spell 'blink' was engraved on it..”

Ellen shrugged, picking up the dagger that had fallen on the floor with a clang sound..

“It is originally a spell used by high-ranking wizards to avoid threats, but when cast on something like a dagger or arrow, it becomes a deadly weapon. It's a bonus that the difficulty level of the order is drastically lowered..”

This is a ‘blinking dagger’?

The guy continued to elaborate, but my attention was diverted elsewhere..

Before I knew it, the bundle that had come closer was looking at me and the blinking dagger in turn with bright eyes..

“••••••Hehe.”

The bundle that received attention stuck out its tongue and smiled. I also laughed out loud, took the dagger back, and asked Ellen..

“This doesn't require mana.?”

“It's a way to automatically restore magic power. If you infuse mana, you will be able to cast spells more often.……

The guy shrugged his shoulders and shook his head..

“It's meaningless if you don't get it right. I'm done.”

In the end, the dagger returned to the bunch..

“Thank you, I am grateful.!”

Mungchi was jumping up and down, no, he was really jumping up and down with joy..

“......flaw ”

It's cute, but somehow I have a strange feeling about it. He looks so happy like a child who received a useful murder weapon and a life as a gift.…….

Saitz also had a scroll with an invisibility spell and an obsidian ring..

“……Invisibility? Bad memories come to mind.”

Ellen laughed at my self-talk..

“That's about that time, right? When delivering the letter to Prince Ulkar.”

“uh. Torval, no, that magic bastard had a defective potion, so his body glowed brightly, like a firefly..”

“Yes, I did. I was really surprised too……

Ellen's eyes became a little faint as she heard the story from half a year ago..

I wanted to talk more about this, but the time and place weren't the best to share a story that only we two knew..

“So, this is fine stuff.?”

“Yes, it looks like a proper product made by the Dawn Council. I heard that the wizards there always carry scrolls like this for emergencies. It seems to be true..”

Ellen decided to keep the scroll obtained from Saitz because it was activated by reading the written content rather than tearing it to use..

Meanwhile, the obsidian ring was a magical tool with the power to lighten the body. I gave it to Ute Kwai because he probably had some agility modifier.,

“I can't wear it.”

“Look.”

……That's not right. Well, Utequai's little finger is thicker than Saitz's thumb..

I had no choice but to try it on, but there was no change. I guess it's probably a conditional option like 'if agility is below.

Then, of course, it would be useless to the mungchi.…….

“Do you just want to join in??”

“……I? It has to be that way.?”

“why? no?”

Ellen looked uncomfortable, so I laughed and poked her on the cheek..

“aha. You don't want to take the ring I give you, is this it??”

“what?”

The guy waved his hands wildly..

“No, no! That doesn't mean I don't like it, what kind of nonsense, ah, um……

Then, he suddenly became surprised, closed his mouth, and lowered his head with red cheeks..

……What kind of live show is this again??

I was dumbfounded and looked down at Ellen. She looked sideways in my direction and pursed her lips..

“……It's a ring worn by an enemy. I hate it because it makes me feel uncomfortable.”

“Ah, I see. sorry.”

“no.”

Well, I wasn't very subtle..

After patting the guy on the shoulder with an apology, I took the ring with me for now. It was funny to hold an auction to distribute food in this atmosphere..

Seitz lay face down in a daze even as his belongings were being taken away. Looking at the atmosphere, it looks like he has resigned himself to everything..

“In the end, I couldn't find the magic tool that hides the mana..”

“……huh. Have you lost your magic??”

“well.”

Now that they were tied up tightly and all their belongings were taken away, it was time to interrogate them..

“Hey, Seitz..”

“……who are you.”

“It's phoenix. article phoenix.”

“Phoenix? No way, a bloody prosecutor?”

“okay. Looks like you've heard of it.”

“Wait, then……

Saitz, now an old man, contorted his face as if he couldn't understand..

“Could it be that Ellen, the Fire Witch, means that the other half is a woman? That doesn't make sense. That bitch is definitely-”

Instead of answering, I stepped on his ankle with my heel..

“If you want to save your life, you better be careful what you say..”

“Ugh, ugh.!”

After screaming in a hoarse voice for a long time, the guy caught his breath and started giggling..

“Ugh, huh, ghuhuh, hahaha-!”

“Is this guy crazy?.”

“Save your life? under! I'm as good as dead already, so where is my life left to live?.”

The guy laughed and muttered helplessly..

“In my own world, despite all the hardships, I was finally able to become a god. The damn Guardian Spirit ruined everything. Well, I don't understand. They said he was defeated and scattered... … I heard Saitz gibbering and it seemed like Alena, no, the spirit that resided in Alena had been harmed by the storm..

I don't think the spirit has realized yet that it has something to do with us... … . Well, there's no need to remind me of that now..

“I don't know what you're talking about,”

I twisted his collar and smiled..

“Listening to you talk, it seems like you recognize Ellen.?”

“……okay. I recognized it at a glance. I

How can I forget your face.”

Seitz blinked and looked at Ellen..

“A disciple of Grandmaster Zemar. The other half of the palace wizard couldn't even cast a spell. I wanted to take one person because she had a beautiful face... … . I failed because the resistance from the old man who was about to fall behind was so strong..”

“This bastard.”

This time, I lifted my foot with the intention of breaking my ankle, but Ellen stopped me and stepped forward..

“……Yes, I did.” The wind flowed from beneath Ellen’s feet..

“I had to watch you kill Master and run away. Trembling.”

The wind gained momentum with each step..

There was no way the wind could have flowed into the underground throne room, so it must have been magical..

“But not anymore.”

“……“How can it be that less than a year has passed?” “I’m so sorry. I wanted to defeat you who was desperately resisting. still,”

While he was speaking, flaming arrows rose one by one around him..

“Huh, huh—”

Ellen looked down at the surprised Seitz and smiled beautifully..

“I'm glad to see you crawling under my feet.”

Grumbling-

As Ellen produced three flaming arrows without uttering a single spell, Saitz swallowed a laugh and nodded..

“……Huh, okay. Ellen. I've heard of it.”

“Erinar Radhakaline. The descendant of Archmage Ra Dacaline. yes?”

Ellen didn't feel it was worth answering, so instead of answering, she pointed her wand at the guy..

“Part of me wants to burn it down right now, but there's something I need to find..”

“……“It’s a banned book.” "that's right. Where is the forbidden book??”

Ellen, who had already stopped smiling, had an icy expression. Seitz looked at that face blankly and then burst into laughter..

“flaw. Sorry, it's too late.”

“It's late?”

“okay. That's lucky for you guys. I didn't meet him.”

‘That'?

“……no way,”

“The bloody prosecutor seems to have noticed something..”

The old man with a resigned face twisted his body and lay down on his back on the floor. And he looked back at the group and smiled..

“I'm sorry, but I don't have the 'Book of Destiny'.”

“X arm,”

After swearing without realizing it, I opened my mouth and held my forehead..

“It was stolen by the Dark Knight..”

“……You know the existence of the Dark Knight? How- oh.”

It was only then that Saitz discovered Mibu among the group, who was in a similar situation..

“Ah, yes. He has Count Mattianver's wife with him. Was that bitch’s name ‘Ga Net’??”

“Ganesh is the second child. I'm Kelsen.”

Kelsenne glared at Saitz with venomous eyes..

“You lowly thief, you look good..”

“So are you, you damned vampire..”

In response to Saitz's sarcasm, Kelsen let out an incomprehensible scream, and Crossbowman Gidon frowned and kicked her, knocking her down..

“Stay calm! If you don't want a silver arrow stuck in your neck!”

“Sigh-” Seeing Kelsen grinding his teeth and struggling, Seitz chuckled and looked back at me..

“I guess I heard it from that bitch. About the dark knight.”

“……Did that guy steal the banned book??”

“no, that's not it.”

Seitz licked his dry lips and continued..

“We made a deal. Because the Dark Knight can't use a powerful being like me for free. I gave up the most precious thing I had in return..”

“……ha.”

I'm going crazy. The scenario was so screwed up. Ellen: “It doesn’t matter if there are no banned books.”.”

“••••••huh?”

Ellen, who was still looking down at Saitz, opened her mouth with a cold expression on her face..

“It would be nice to retrieve the banned books, but even with Sai Tsu, the false accusation can be cleared..”

“how?”

“Just take him to the palace and make him a witness in front of the grand masters..”

“……That'll do it?”

I approached Ellen and lowered my voice and asked,.

“your uncle?”

“I'm not the same person I was a year ago. As long as there are witnesses, there's nothing Galnar can do..”

W ugh »

Seitz, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, burst into laughter..

“Ha, I don't know what you're talking about. Testify for your bitch?”

Ellen looked into his eyes with bright blue eyes and nodded..

“okay.”

“Why should I do that??”

“I'm not afraid of death?”

“Stupid bitch, didn't you hear what I said??”

Seitz was screaming with bloodshot eyes..

“It's as if I've already been defeated! I gave everything to the dream world: my magic power, my lifespan, my treasures! Damn spirit ruined everything! Now I'm just a shell left-”

“You can turn it back.”

“-Just the day I die, what, what??”

“I can turn it back.”

Saitz's eyes widened at the meaningless words..

“You can turn it back, right? What kind of bullshit is this??”

“testify for me Then I will give you the ‘Elixir of Time’..”

“……“Elixir of time?” Seitz seemed to know what it was, but Ellen explained quietly..

“If you drink it, you can turn back time 5 years. No curse or magic can stop its effects.”

“But, but it is the most precious item among the many treasures in your palace. How can you be such a bitch?-”

“I am Erinar Radhakaline..”

I sensed an unknown atmosphere from Ellen when she said that..

“If you testify, I can clear my name..”

strange atmosphere.

It wasn't by magic. Probably, it is what is commonly called dignity..

“Then I will become the owner of the palace.”

“……Archmage's Red Hand.”

“okay. Because I am the enemy of Archmage Radhakaline. Because the palace is rightfully mine.”

To Saitz, whose jaw dropped, Ellen gave an order with a cold expression..

“kneel down.”

“••••••what?”

“Swear that you will live your whole life serving me. Then I will forgive your sins and give you the Elixir of Time..”

Everyone in the group held their breath at Ellen's words, which felt strangely powerful..

“……Ha, huh. What nonsense is this?.”

Seitz laughed and looked up at Ellen. He froze in those bright blue eyes, then shook his head again..

“Swear, can you swear??”

Ellen looked down at him intently and nodded..

“In the name of Radhakaline?”

“gladly.”

“……Joe, okay.”

And finally, the old man who wanted youth knelt down..

“I will serve you, no, you. you are me,”

“I'll give you an elixir. With the grace of a master.”

Seitz bowed his head in response to Ellen's answer..

At that time, I suddenly made eye contact with Ellen..

The guy smiled and squinted one eye..

I was once again impressed by that beautiful face for a moment before I noticed his true intentions and left my mouth half-open..

okay. Ellen is talking nonsense right now..

I bet you didn't learn that from me.?
