EPISODE.26
Pub Yellow Wyvern.
At first glance, it is a bar that looks no different from other bars.
However, unlike that appearance.
Few people knew that the true identity of the Yellow Wyvern was separate.
A kind of branch jointly run by the magic towers belonging to Endymion.
Also located in Shudra, an intelligence agency that handles about 20% of the information coming in through the Takle Desert.
That was the true identity of the Yellow Wyvern.
Is it for that reason?
The appearance of the Yellow Wyvern’s basement was quite different from those of ordinary taverns.
Unlike other taverns that are full of kegs.
The proof was that hundreds of thousands of sheets of paperwork piled up in piles.
Jerk-jerk-.
In the meantime, several informants were coming and going at a brisk pace.
A movement that seems very stiff and tense.
Since handling information is his job, it is only natural that he be cautious about his movements.
However, even so, today it was a little more than usual.
“So, did you get any information?”
“Is this the end?”
“If there is any information you have received, bring it immediately. classification? No need to. Bring it now!”
The atmosphere was also different from usual.
A tense atmosphere where you can’t help but be nervous somewhere.
It has to be.
“Do you know what this is about?”
“It is said that the youngest disciple of Yeomtap Lord is involved. Not only that, but even the spandom moved! That lunatic spandom!”
Russell Raymond, a disciple of the Tower of Flames.
It was just a few days ago that news about him had come.
Did he say that the guard dogs of the Empire followed him like a tail while he was returning from his mission?
Even that was not enough, and even the movements of spandom, a maniac known as a murderer, were captured.
The goal was obvious.
“Daria-sama’s disciple, Prince Russell, might die!”
It must be to target Russell Raymond, a disciple of the Flame Tower.
According to the information bureau, the spandom bastard was tired of the ball to return to the empire’s ecliptic.
Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, there were plenty of reasons.
Endymion and the Empire may have decided that it was an opportunity to reduce the history of their long-standing hostile relationship.
“The life of a talented person who may someday become a pillar to support the kingdom is at stake!”
“If things don’t go right, it won’t end with just the beginning, so be prepared!”
Apart from madness, Spandom was a skilled enough person to be watched even within Endymion.
He was also an aura practitioner who was properly trained under the superman representing the empire.
He must have a different level of strength than ordinary Aura practitioners.
Besides, isn’t he notorious for being a murderer? It was clear that the hands would also be cruel.
These two things alone could be said to be quite dangerous.
What if such spandom and the youngest disciple of the yeomtapju come face to face?
The result was obvious.
“If there is a conflict, this side must lose. No matter how much Daria-sama is a disciple, it’s spandom. That crazy bastard isn’t something you can take down with the level of a beginner in the 4th circle!”
As a disciple of one of the superhumans representing the kingdom, even if he has superior skills than wizards of the same class-.
‘If we want to discuss the possibility, we will have to stand against the youngest disciple of the window pagoda lord, not the yeomtap lord’s youngest disciple!’
While the precarious atmosphere continued as if walking on thin ice.
“I found the car!”
Jackson, the man who was going through the papers that had just come in, banged! – slammed the desk.
I got up from my seat and called out for joy.
He shouted at his colleagues with a bright smile.
“We have secured the identity of Lord Russell Raymond, a 4th Circle magician belonging to the Tower of Flames!”
“what?”
“Is it really?”
Colleagues quickly asked back at the long-awaited good news, and Jackson nodded.
I quickly read through what followed.
“Three hours ago, Search Team 17 made contact with Prince Russell. Currently, he is said to be on the move protecting him. And… huh?”
Then, in disbelief, he widened his eyes.
With trembling eyes, he looked down at the information in his hand.
“Oh, what is it?”
“Is something wrong with your body? Have an arm or a leg been cut off? Otherwise, my life…”
The tension that had been slowly easing came back like a tidal wave.
Spandom It was great enough just to escape from the hands of that cruel bastard, but if you suffered serious damage in the process…
Jackson spat out in a trembling voice amidst many ominous thoughts intersecting.
“Oh no. Life is not affected. Of course, the limbs are fine. But…”
“Oh really. What a frustrating thing to do!”
bang!
In the end, one of the colleagues who couldn’t overcome the frustration hit the desk.
“Is it because you want to see someone’s outfit explode? Don’t waste your time and speak quickly!”
He let out a snort and screamed.
Jackson flinched at the momentum.
I muttered in a voice that I wondered if this was right.
“…the supply and demand of the madman’s spandom was in the hands of the returning Prince Russell.”
“…?!”

same time.
Russell was resting on top of a caravan made from a modified cart.
It was bought and remodeled in a hurry from merchants who traded in and out of the desert.
Dalgrauk Dalgrauk-.
The sound of wooden wheels rolling across the sand reverberates irregularly.
Hearing that, Russell rolled up his sleeves.
The buttons on the front hem were also undone, and the wounds on the forearm and chest were checked.
“I’m sure it’s because I ate a potion-”
Recovery was faster than expected.
If I had been hurt like this during my mercenary days, I would have had to recuperate for at least a few more weeks.
The blood had already stopped and scabs had formed.
Of course, it will still take a lot of time for the wound to heal completely.
The time it took for the new flesh to sprout would have been longer than that.
‘Still, wouldn’t it be possible to fully recover in 2 or 3 weeks?’
Even with a rough calculation, the recovery speed was several times faster. Russell stuck out his tongue.
I thought it was something worth the money as it was expensive.
It is not only the external scars that have improved.
The circle, which had been shaken and shaken, is now fully back in place.
Woo woo woo-.
I tried rotating the circle just in case, but I didn’t feel any particular abnormality or pain.
The four circles moved smoothly, and the melody of magical power flowed out.
It is a perfect melody with no dissonance anywhere.
Hearing that sound, Russell smiled and opened his inventory.
‘If this is the case…’
I can start slowly.
Thinking so, I took out the magic stones I had received as a reward.
Among them, the number of intermediate magic stones was six in total.
Two were received after defeating the Abomination.
‘And what I received after defeating Spandom is four.’
After that, magic stones smaller than that came out in clusters as if they were a scavenger hunt.
They were magic stones that radiated a brilliant light like jewels.
It would have been impossible if the Circle had been shaken, but I was able to absorb them now.
Russell, who picked up some of the dogs and shoved them into his mouth, chewed on the magic stone with all his might.
Sharp fangs shatter magic stones.
up
The first sensation of biting a stone.
After that, a mushy feeling like chewing raw meat continued.
[Ingested low-grade magic stones (edible)]
[Low-grade magic stones (edible)…]
.
.
[Acquires magical power in the mana stone.]
[Circle’s mana increases.]
You can feel the magical energy rising along with the familiar alarm.
Hwaaak-.
Feeling that, Russell quickly began to circle.
The newly acquired magic was overlaid on top of the existing magic.
What you need to pay attention to here is to make sure that the two magic powers are not confronted but harmonized and stable.
‘Don’t be impatient, take it slow.’
Just as it is impossible to build an iron fortress on a sandy field, Circle was no different.
‘If you just increase the amount without stabilization, there will always be a problem.’
It was necessary to spend enough time and effort to work on the circle.
Time flies by just like that.
Tsutsutsutsutsut-.
Russell laughed lightly as he felt the new mana flowing over the existing one.
The turmoil in the Circle, which had begun as the mana increased, also slowly subsided.
As a signal, the size of the fourth circle starts to expand little by little.
A growth so small that it is imperceptible unless you look carefully, but it is evident.
‘hmm.’
Russell’s eyebrows twitched as he checked the amount of mana that had expanded and increased.
He frowned with a dissatisfied look on his face.
‘Even though I ingested quite a lot of magic stones at once, it’s about this much.’
surely.
As I reached the 4th circle, I felt that the amount of mana I needed had increased a lot.
At this rate, even if you consume all the magic stones you have, it will be difficult to guarantee the middle of the 4th circle.
Of course, the magician’s ability was not something that could be tailored only by the amount of magic power or numerical values.
In fact, Russell was also confident that he could deal with up to several wizards at the same time.
If you go further and have magic power in the middle of the 4th circle…
‘Maybe I can compete with a strong person facing a wall.’
A situation where it is possible to overwhelm if Yonginhwa is used.
It was clear why Russell was able to showcase such capabilities.
‘It’s probably because of the pure and high-quality magic.’
The purity and quality of power called magical power or mana.
These two issues were directly related to the efficiency and power of magic.
The more pure and high-quality magical power is, the stronger the magical power is.
‘The amount of mana required to deploy magic is also reduced.’
One of the things that could be cited as an example was Fire Bolt, a 3-circle magic.
Assuming the same amount of magic power to deploy that magic.
‘The number of fire bolts I can cast is three times the normal number.’
Depending on the situation, he had the confidence to reach even more.
Of course, not all magic is like that.
‘There must be some difference depending on the type of magic or proficiency.’
Even so, I use it at least once and can afford it, up to three times as much.
It looked like it would be roughly that much, so Russell dismissed his thoughts with a sense of satisfaction.
First of all, it was the first thing to finish the work I was doing.
There were still a lot of magic stones to consume and even more circling work to do.
Wow.
Frightening to pick up a few more magic stones and bite them down, familiar alarms rang in succession along my ears.
[Middle-level magic stones (edible)…]
[Low-level magic stones (edible)…]
Alarms that clearly tell you that you are getting stronger.
Hearing that sound, Russell thought.
These are alarms that don’t make you feel bad whenever you hear them.
It wasn’t until about two days later that the problem arose with the wagon.
