Episode 595: A person who is difficult to meet (2)
There are various magicians in the world.
A wizard who uses unusual magic. A wizard with an unusual personality. A wizard who practices unusual training.
There are wizards who perform all kinds of eccentricities, and such wizards have a relatively high reputation value compared to their skills.
However, even among those wizards, there were some very famous wizards.
Strange methods of practicing magic, behavior uncharacteristic of a wizard, and appearance uncharacteristic of a wizard.
One of the 6th rank Lexor level wizards.
Hwiron was a representative example.
“Take it! The magic of justice!”
Hwiron shouted and threw his fist.
The magic power in the shape of a fist flew in a straight line and swept away the War Mages.
Words are magic, but in reality it is the act of blowing wind.
Defense was meaningless.
The power of that light magic spell was so strong that it easily destroyed the shields and protective artifacts deployed by the War Mages.
No matter how eccentric he commits, his opponent is a 6th rank wizard.
A skill that has reached a certain level carries great weight, regardless of the world’s evaluation.
“This is crazy! “Why is that man here!”
The war mages scattered in embarrassment.
We knew that if we came together, we would suffer, but it was impossible to fight head-on with such a monster in the first place.
“Besides, it looks even more bizarre than before!”
It’s strange that a wizard as famous as Hwiron is not recognized.
However, the war mages did not properly recognize him.
The first reason was that he was topless rather than wearing the robe that symbolized his school.
The second reason was that he had a longer beard than usual and his long, uncut hair was loose and loose, which was quite different from what I had known before.
It looks like a bandit came down after living in the mountains for 30 years.
If you hadn’t seen him gather magical power in the form of a fist, it would be hard to recognize his family.
“Retreat! “Retreat!”
In the end, the war mages had no choice but to flee.
Gariel looked at the scene in bewilderment and then shifted her gaze to Hwiron, who was slowly approaching her.
“So how on earth did you get chased by those guys? “It looks like they are wizards from the New Magic Tower.”
“Water….”
“Water? Want water? “There are protein supplements.”
“The item…”
Only then was Hwiron able to discover various materials scattered around Gariel.
“…Did you steal it? No, but his attitude is strangely earnest. “It seems like there’s something going on.”
Gariel could not answer that question.
Even his lips could not move properly because the poison was spreading throughout his body.
I feel short of breath.
If I continued like this, my muscles would harden and I might die.
It was then that Huiron took action.
Paang!
He spread out his palm, the size of a pot lid, placed it on Gariel’s solar plexus, and lightly released magical power.
The mana flowing inside Gariel’s body washed away the poison.
“Wow! “Wow!”
Gariel vomited out black, dead poison.
After chuckling a few times, he realized that his body was moving normally and stared at Hwiron in amazement.
Cured the poison? no. This is different from healing.
‘Rather, it seems as if the poison energy itself has been washed away with pure energy…’
Huiron said with a grin towards the embarrassed Gariel.
“So, would you mind explaining how this happened?”
* * *
Ludger, who arrived at the new hideout with Cravat and Loteron, frowned when he could not see Gariel.
The fact that the person who was supposed to come and wait first didn’t show up meant that something had happened along the way.
Gariel is said to be able to stop time and move, but since she lacks experience in this area, it wasn’t impossible if she thought she was ambushed.
“I guess I have to go find Gariel…”
Before Ludger could finish his sentence, the door to the secret hideout opened and Gariel came in.
Leading a large man behind him.
“what. “How big is that guy?”
“Who the hell is it?”
Cravat and Loteron were puzzled when they saw Huiron, who looked like a bandit.
Only Ludger narrowed his eyes and recognized Huiron.
“Lord Hyron?”
“huh? oh! Everyone was here! ha ha ha!”
Hwiron burst out laughing and waved his hand as if he was happy to see him.
Ludger looked back at Loteron and asked.
“No way, that wizard…”
“Yes. you’re right. However, he said that he only studied his own magic quietly on the island and strictly prohibited the entry of other people around him, so how on earth…”
Loteron thought that it would be very difficult to call Huiron.
First of all, meeting him was difficult and I had no idea how to persuade him.
But that Whiron came all the way here on his own?
“More than that, what does Lord Whiron look like…”
The appearance he used to see is everywhere, and he looks like someone who has lived separately in the mountains for decades.
“huh? Oh, you mean this? “I’ve been so focused on training lately that I haven’t been able to pay attention at all, so my hair and beard are a little long, right?”
“I don’t think it’s a little bit.”
Cravat also knew about Whiron.
At least from what he knew, Huiron didn’t have that long of a beard and hair.
“This is what happens if you don’t shave or get a haircut for a week.”
“one week?!”
Gariel opened her eyes wide.
How on earth do you get your beard and hair to grow like that in just a week?
“Is it because I usually eat a lot of protein? Puhahaha!”
Ludger, seeing Hwiron bursting out laughing as if he thought what he said was funny, shook his head.
“It’s truly a monster born of testosterone.”
I couldn’t believe it, but when I heard that a 6th rank wizard was like that, I strangely agreed.
“So how did this come about? “Why are you here and who is this little warlock?”
For Whiron, who had come to hear about the situation, the sight of Ludgar, Loteron, and Cravat together was quite awkward.
“I guess the story will be long.”
The priority was to sort out the current complicated situation.
“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Cravat. He is a warlock living on Isla Machina and a master of the ancient curse school. “Even though I look like this, I’m still older, so don’t treat me like a child.”
The last words were said especially strongly while glaring at Hwiron.
Hwiron smiled at those words and shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m sorry about that.”
Starting with Cravat, everyone introduced themselves.
In particular, in the case of Gariel, it was said that she used time magic, so the reactions of Loteron and Hyron were very eye-opening.
“Time magic? “There was such a thing?”
“oh my god. “He looked so weak that I thought he was just an ordinary person.”
“…haha.”
Gariel smiled bitterly at those words.
Time magic may have a grand name, but in reality it is full of all kinds of limitations and is not of much help.
“Let’s sum up the situation first. Teacher Ludger Chelish robbed our new magic tower. Is that correct?”
Ludger nodded to Loteron’s question.
“And the purpose is to save the student’s life.”
“you’re right.”
“I understand that you did such a thing because it was difficult to get the right ingredients on this island that early, but you were still too reckless. “Especially when Isla Machina is in turmoil like now.”
“iced coffee. Come to think of it, the island has been noisy recently. Has something happened?”
Hwiron asked with his arms crossed.
Although he came to Isla Machina, he did not pay much attention to the situation on the island.
But in other words, even Hwiron, who is not interested in the situation, has been feeling the uneasy energy flowing from the island itself recently.
“Lord Hyron, as you may know, this Isla Machina is made up of a society comprised of the God Magic Tower, various wizards, and warlocks. And the place where things are happening recently is on the side of warlocks. “It all started with the emergence of a new force in the area of warlocks and the uproar.”
“But looking at this situation, it looks like the wizards of the New Magic Tower are also involved?”
Whiron asked, thinking of the war mages.
Loteron sighed and nodded.
“I’ve had a feeling for a while now, but it seems like the emerging power operating in secret on this island has joined hands with some factions of the New Magic Tower.”
“It’s a faction of the New Magic Tower.”
“As you know, a place that breaks away from the old framework of the old horse tower and pursues something new. But even if the purpose is the same, even the means cannot be the same.”
The factions of the New Magic Tower were largely divided into two.
The one who will use any means and methods to achieve the goal.
The idea was that at least justification and morality should be maintained.
In the former case, since money was needed for magic research, I thought that I should focus my activities on capitalism.
For the sake of money, it was okay to turn a blind eye to somewhat illegal or immoral acts.
“I was on the other side.”
Loteron was wary of excessive capitalism.
Although a wizard cannot focus on magic, he cannot accept playing with money.
Therefore, the names of the two organizations were different according to these tendencies.
The money-seeking group [the bourgeoisie] and the
[proletariat] who resist them,
the bourgeois wizards, always spoke with one voice.
Magic requires a lot of money. A wizard who is always short of money ultimately cannot research magic properly.
Regulations will ultimately block the development of magic, and the process that should have taken just one year will be repeated for over 10 years.
“Well, there is some truth to it. “The problem may be that they have gone too far beyond that line.”
Cravat nodded in understanding.
There were many warlocks who would do anything for money, so he was clearly feeling this situation.
Are regulations really an obstacle to the advancement of magic and science?
Can magic and science really develop in the right direction if there is no regulation?
This has always been a topic of conversation between the two factions.
Of course, there is no given correct answer.
In the end, it was a difference of position, and the two factions also had their own legitimate reasons.
“Whatever it is, it is more important that the bourgeois faction is now hostile to us rather than targeting the other side’s moral flaws.”
“I never thought they would join hands with such dangerous guys. Moreover, they are illegally expanding and modifying the automaton, making objects to kill wizards, and even conducting experiments on living organisms.”
Isn’t this no different from the black magician that people point fingers at?
The New Magic Tower is his second hometown that accepted him as a wizard, even though he was a beast.
Loteron could not stand to see the New Magic Tower destroyed like this.
“Hmm. So, one faction of the New Magic Tower joined hands with an unidentified organization, and that organization is now targeting you, and the teacher even robbed the New Magic Tower to save the life of a student with an incurable disease?”
After hearing the whole situation, Hwiron folded his arms, closed his eyes, and nodded.
Soon, hot tears flowed from between his tightly closed eyes.
“How touching! “It truly touches the heart of a man!”
When Hyron screamed loudly, Gariel looked back at Ludger in embarrassment.
When asked if this man was like this, Ludger shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
‘Obviously it wasn’t to this extent before, but it seems like I’ve become one step further away from being a civilized person while I’ve been out of sight.’
But I felt rather fortunate.
If Hwiron had been more rational or cool-headed, it would have been difficult to get a big response from this side of the story.
“good! I will help too! It makes a man’s heart and blood tremble so hotly that he can’t just watch it like this! In fact, I also wanted to rob that tower of steel at least once!”
“…hey.”
Loteron seemed to have a hard time getting over the last words and stared at Huiron with a straight face.
Ludger felt like an unnecessary commotion would arise if things continued like this, so he immediately changed the topic.
“Lord Huron, how did you come to Isla Machina?”
In response to Ludger’s question, everyone turned to Whiron as if they were curious about it.
“huh? “That’s magic research.”
Hwiron responds as if asking such an obvious question.
At those words, everyone let out a small sigh inwardly.
right.
This guy was a wizard, right?
“They say there are various artifacts. Like an artifact that is heavier than its actual weight. I thought that might be able to stimulate these muscles a little more. Above all, there are a lot of iron nuggets on this island, so it’s great for lifting heavy things.”
Those words reminded Gariel of the vacant lot where she fell.
I thought it was a waste disposal site because all kinds of iron lumps were dumped there, but it turns out it was actually a training ground.
Gariel whispered to Ludger.
‘Is this person really a wizard? A school that manipulates magic with the body. What on earth are you doing here? ‘Aren’t you crazy?’
‘At least he wouldn’t want to hear that from a wizard who can stop time.’
‘….’
No matter what, I was quite reassured to hear that Hwiron would fight with me.
Gariel shook her head, remembering how Huiron was fighting, but then opened her mouth, remembering one memory.
“That wizard, Hwiron. “I have a question.”
“Do you have any questions? You can ask.”
“When I was hit by a paralyzing poison, how on earth did you heal me all at once?”
Gariel was curious about that.
Huiron’s first impression was that he was a non-fighting battle wizard who could only use his fists.
In fact, he was also a wizard specialized in combat.
However, curing poison was not something a war mage could simply learn.
And just by touching the palm of your hand, you can immediately wash away the poison.
“Oh, that?”
Hwiron said it as if it was no big deal.
“This is manual therapy magic that I developed on my own.”
“…?”
Did I misunderstand the word manual therapy?
