Episode 84. A week had passed since Kyler was dealt with at
the Hollington estate .
A lot of things have happened in the meantime, but personally, I didn’t want to think about it because it was just a headache and complicated things.
‘It’s fortunate that Diane killed Grace directly. If I or Vivian killed it, it would have been very painful.’
I was thinking of purifying the expression, but would it be just hard?
It would probably have been much more uproar over political issues.
In the case of Diene, things didn’t go too far thanks to her family.
“We are almost there.”
I said while looking at the scenery outside the train window.
The place I’m heading to right now is the head office at the top of Everlast.
The patent applications for the newly created potions were delayed at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, but now we can sign a contract.
Coincidentally, the academy was also closed for a week due to this incident, so time was running out.
‘I’m a little dizzy because of the evolution, but there shouldn’t be a problem. In the first place, I had no choice but to come out because the time would be ambiguous if it wasn’t now.’
After the battle with Kyler, the evolution success rate of the ‘Dark Magic Commander Talent’ increased significantly, as if the experience gained. In the meantime, it has exceeded 30% and stood out several times, but with this incident as an opportunity, it exceeded 90% and boldly chose evolution.
It wasn’t done right away, but after returning to the academy, it evolved after finishing all sorts of investigations, so there was still some time left before it was completed.
push.
I finally got off the train and looked around.
It was a place I had already been to once, so there was no need to look around, but it reminded me of the time I played Lucia, and I reacted without knowing it.
Immediately, I took a carriage from the nearby carriage station and headed to the place where Hollington Castle was located.
I know that Lucia also came down to her hometown due to this class closure, but if you’re lucky, you might be able to meet her.
The Hollington manor was not large, so the carriage quickly arrived at the Hollington Castle.
Since it was a territory purchased with money, it was not a large or distinctive territory.
‘Of course there is something hidden. When I played Lucia, I benefited from it.’
Maybe it’s because Lucia is playable, but even in this insignificant territory, there was a hidden opportunity.
Not impactful enough to change the story of the game, but quite helpful.
‘It would be more accurate to call it a material rather than an item.’
Among the materials for making magic tools, special materials were hidden.
It was the main material that could make named items, but it was an item that matched well with Lucia, so I always took it with me.
‘It reminds me of the roar of dawn when it is said to be a named class wizard item.’
After killing Grace, the Roar of Dawn lost its owner.
I left right away from the spot and couldn’t confirm it, but surprisingly, it is said that the roar of dawn chose the owner right on the spot.
‘Once a named item chooses its owner, the choice cannot be changed until the owner dies.’
Surprisingly, the owner was Diane.
Even though it was Diane who killed Prince Grace herself, it was obvious that the kingdom of Meirne was in an uproar when she was even chosen as her master by the roar of dawn.
If it wasn’t for the Alven family, Diene could have been assassinated without even knowing it by the water spray sent by the Mayr Kingdom.
‘Maybe he really hired a killer?’
The world of politics is so heartless.
As long as it wasn’t caught, it was this floor that even high-ranking people would poke and look at.
But what I’m not particularly worried about is Diane.
Looking at her current growth rate, no other playable character can keep up with her. In addition, since he is equipped with a named item called Roar of Dawn, that ability will not be afraid even if dozens of assassins come.
Anyway, it is said that the Alven family rewarded the Mayrene Kingdom with a fairly large reward for this incident. No matter how much Grace ate potions related to black magic, her status as a prince was not to be taken lightly, and in addition to that, she received the roar of dawn, so it was a natural thing to do.
‘It’s me, the stronger Diene gets, the better. In addition, the stumbling block of Keshurn has disappeared, so it’s rather good.’
Well, apart from this, the Empire was rather angry with the Kingdom of May.
The pretext of daring to cause a disturbance in a foreign country, and the pretext that the kingdom’s prince was involved in black magic, were perfect for political attack.
All right— hee hee!
“customer. Im here.”
This is Hollington Castle, the head office of Everlast and the home of Viscount Hollington.
It was a mansion surrounded by wooden barriers that only had a name and a surname.
Still, this whole area belonged to the Hollington manor, so it wasn’t all there was to see.
Since the appointment had already been made, passing through the entrance was quick.
I entered the building after being guided by a servant.
“ah! Sir Cromwell!”
I met the butler, Alfred, on the way in after being guided.
I had already met him at the time of the last contract, so it was an old acquaintance.
“Alfred. Long time no see.”
“yes. Have you been at peace? dismissal.”
It was strange that he looked at me strangely while saying hello.
What’s going on?
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m really sorry. dismissal. Our master, knowing that he had an appointment with His Excellency, was even preparing, but there was a guest who suddenly came and he could not be ignored, so he took his seat first.”
This is a bit outrageous.
It’s not that I’m asserting my authority, but naturally, I couldn’t help but feel bad when I was hit by the wind from the position where I made an appointment first.
Still, seeing what he was saying, it was clear that he must be a nobleman with a higher rank than me or someone equivalent to him.
‘It’s better. Shall we go see Luciana?’
She’ll be somewhere in this building anyway, so I’ll have to meet Luciana.
I didn’t have to say anything when we met, but I should at least say hello.
“Then, could I possibly meet Lucia?”
“ah! I will tell Lady Lucia right away.”
“I don’t have to.”
Alfred and I turned our heads at the sudden voice.
Then I saw Lucia in her nightgown coming down the stairs towards the hall.
‘It’s a pajamas with a bear on it… ….’
I greeted him with a useless feeling.
“It’s been almost a week. how have you been doing?”
“yes. I’ve been doing well, except for the fact that I’m really bored and want to die.”
…You’ve been fine, right?
Apparently, she didn’t come down to her parents’ house on her own will.
Well, since she was directly caught up in the incident, her parents would want to call her home. Because I almost died.
“I heard roughly what you were talking about. It seems like you’re an important guest, so even your father seems flustered, so I’ll apologize on behalf of you.”
“What is the apology between you and me?”
“What are you doing?”
Lucia opened her eyes and asked.
look at this
Why do you look so mean today?
“Between senior and junior. ask you know? Okay, so let’s move around a bit. I’m a guest, are you going to leave it like this?”
At my sly words, Lucia turned around and spoke.
“Follow me.”
I felt sorry for Alfred, who was looking at me and Lucia with anxious eyes. If you know that Lucia is like that on a regular basis, you won’t be able to buy it out of anxiety.
I followed Lucia up the stairs.
The place she followed was none other than a private laboratory.
‘Looking at it now, it seems that he didn’t come out of bed, but he ate and slept in the lab dressed like this.’
The lab was messy.
All sorts of clutter, as well as tableware utensils that had not yet been cleaned, whether meals were served here, stood out. Judging from how dirty it was, it seemed that servants were not allowed in the private study.
‘Because she’s an only child, her parents think very much of Lucia.’
That’s why he was even more desperate to cure her disease.
Thanks to that, in Lucia’s room, there were expensive and rare herbs and magic materials lying around with dust, but all that was just kicked was high-quality materials.
‘Unfortunately, Lucia alone will never be able to create a cure.’
She was a genius no one doubted.
However, no matter how genius you are, there is a difference between areas in which you are special and areas where you are not.
Unfortunately, she was a little weak in potions and crafting.
Of course, even he had a much higher level of talent compared to the criminals, but her real talent was different.
‘That talent only blooms after curing the disease, so the first thing to do is to find a cure.’
I’ve already made plans for this week.
It wasn’t just a squeeze, but it was showing some results.
As the top priority was assumed to be her cure, the result was natural.
‘Because there is only one chance to make Lucia’s cure. I have to be careful.’
Of course, if more materials could be obtained, there was room for more opportunities.
However, it is a material that is not easily obtained and you do not know what variables will arise, so it is best to succeed at once.
“senior?”
“uh. sorry. I was thinking about something else for a second.”
“Did you think of Vivian?”
“what?”
I was taken aback by Lucia’s sudden question.
Why is Vivian here?
“Somehow I think so.”
“Why do I suddenly think of Vivian? Why did you suddenly think of Vivian?”
Are you that friendly?
It seems like the two of them hang out together a bit these days, but it’s a strange thing.
‘Playable and Villain getting close. It’s a combination I’ve never seen before in a game.’
He sighed and shook his head at Lucia, who was trying to answer.
“Stop talking nonsense, how far have you been? You even did a neutralizer last time.”
“ah. So that’s… ….”
After that, the study was conducted for over an hour.
I pretended not to know the purpose of her research and helped her, but I don’t know why she bothered to hide it.
‘Do you think it’s a weakness?’
It didn’t matter.
Anyway, I will definitely do the treatment for Lucia anyway.
As I researched so frantically, I forgot the purpose of coming here and immersed myself in research, but suddenly I felt someone approaching the laboratory.
‘ah. It looks like the story is over.’
It wasn’t until I felt the presence that I remembered the reason I had come here.
It must be the servant who came to call me.
“smart.”
But something was strange.
The person standing in front of the lab door suddenly knocked on the lab door with onomatopoeia.
With that mischievous voice, I felt that the person who knocked on the door was definitely not a servant.
‘Only one… ….’
Always alert, I hid behind my back Lucia, who was staring at the door in bewilderment.
“senior?”
“for a moment.”
I put my hand on Galaksur and asked towards the door.
“who are you.”
“smart! may I come in?”
“I asked who you are.”
I pulled out Galaksur.
I could feel Lucia’s slight tension behind me.
“I’ll go in.”
The opponent opened the door as it was.
I tilted my head, confirming the opponent’s identity.
“Who are you to come in carelessly….”
I just stopped talking.
The appearance changed, but I could see it because I had a mana talent.
Dozens of magic circles densely drawn on the opponent’s body.
There are many people who have engraved magic circles on their bodies, but there is only one person who has engraved that many.
“Salem?”
