Episode 849
But Garal did not reveal his true feelings right away.
It would have been bold to say this when he lived in the Northern Snowflake Tower, but Garal has matured a lot thanks to three research failures, five accidents, and one assassination attempt on his patron (it
was actually an accident that was misunderstood as an assassination attempt).
No matter how unlucky you are, you must be careful with your mouth in front of your employer.
“It’s surprising. I’ve never heard of a Baldrogard student being close to an Einrogard student.” “The students of Einrogard are certainly one of the two-horse chariots that tow the empire, but they are said to lack a bit of dignity.
It is understandable that
we, Baldrogard, are rarely close friends .”
Crack!
Garal had to grit his teeth.
The Baldrogard student in front of me seemed to be casting illusion magic with just a few words.
How can you manipulate people’s emotions so easily?
‘You have to endure it.’
“But aren’t there always exceptions?”
Zandanni began to explain without even knowing that Garal was gritting his teeth.
The senior who created this improved space expansion backpack with the Einrogard student was a person of great reputation within Baldrogard.
“He was almost a legend. He was so amazing that as soon as he graduated, he was invited to various places…”
“…”
The corner of Garal’s mouth twitched again.
There was no way a Baldrogard student would receive such an active invitation to the Imperial Magic Tower or the Wizard’s Guild.
“So how did you get this gift?”
“Ah. There’s a touching story there.”
According to Giandanni, students Waldrogard and Einrogard worked hard together to research space expansion backpacks.
Then one day, student Einrogard suddenly left in the middle of research due to personal reasons…
…student Baldrogaard kept the space-expanding backpack left behind by his friend as a proof of friendship and passed it on to his juniors.
‘oh my god. Even the cases in Detective Toberies wouldn’t be this suspicious.’
Garal was astonished.
There were more than one suspicious aspect to this short and simple story.
First of all, it was strange that a student at Einrogard would finish his research in a hurry and leave due to personal reasons.
Among the many magic schools in the empire, isn’t Einrogard particularly strict in its evaluation of achievements? There was no way a student like that would just abandon his research and leave
.
‘If you are a student at Einrogard, you can send your soul to participate in research even if your head is cut off. ‘That’s strange.’
But the other party is the employer.
Instead of pointing out the flaws in the story, Garal changed the topic.
“Indeed. It’s a good backpack.”
There were many items that provided a subspace that was larger on the outside than the inside, but their quality varied greatly.
From items that provide only two to three times the expansion space, to items that provide tent-level space.
It didn’t just end with space.
How to reduce the weight inside and how to secure the necessary horsepower.
The inside of the item will inevitably shake as it moves, but how will the chaos caused by the expanded space be brought into order?
Because the area that had to be covered was so large, it could not be perfect. Also, some advantages were incompatible.
In the end, an excellent space expansion item meant an item that was made as close to perfection as possible, even if it wasn’t perfect.
In that respect, the space expansion backpack could definitely be said to be excellent.
Of course, there is nothing particularly lacking in any area, and above all…
‘It’s not heavy and the surroundings don’t shake every time you move. The space was solidified well. for a moment. Instead of expanding the space inside,
they created separate spaces and connected them!’
Rather than inflating or expanding the space inside, they created a separate space and connected it separately.
Garal was surprised.
The former method was usually used for small bags or backpacks, and the latter was used for tents or tents.
In any case, capturing or expanding an existing space requires much less horsepower and less effort.
In comparison, creating a separate sub-space and connecting it again took a lot more work, starting from the space. It wasn’t used for large tents or tents for no reason.
But this is a backpack that uses the latter method.
“We connected separate sub-spaces!? Did you know?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“…Haha. It’s nothing.”
Garal was taken aback by Zandanni’s reaction.
If I were to explain to Baldrogard a student about the differences in the space expansion magic methodology, I would have to be paid ten times more than I am now.
“Is it possible to change the space in this backpack?
” Oh. How did you know? The name of the backpack is ‘Six-way Backpack.’”
Giandanni excitedly explained the backpack’s performance.
This backpack had six spaces inside, and you could lock it into the desired space by turning the pattern engraved on the backpack’s lock. It was possible to access it.
Giandanni had high-quality wine in room 1, a chess set and chair made of boxwood in room 2, a cashmere frock coat and tailcoat in room 3, a
southern silk vest and hat, etc. in room 4. In space, there are famous books from the empire, including the Detective Toberiz series, and in space 5, there are harnesses for fighting…
‘There’s nothing related to magic.’
Garal cursed inwardly.
At least if you’re an alchemy school, wouldn’t it be okay to carry a cauldron or a flask with you?
“Wait a minute. Why 5 when you can access 6 spaces?”
“Space 6 is locked. It’s been like that since I first got it.”
“Why?”
“Well? I’m not sure.”
“…aren’t you curious?”
If the artifact in one’s hand was locked in only one space, a normal wizard would have been curious and tried to open it somehow.
Zandanni slapped his palm and shook his head.
“That’s what I heard . I also seem curious.”
Garal raised the corners of his mouth to force a smile. If he got angry, he would only lose himself.
“I guess it was unfinished.”
“That’s right.”
“Can I open it?”
“Thank you if you do. Let’s do it! Please take care of me.”
“Yes. Let’s rest for a while and then work on it.”
Garal got up, opened the door, and went out.
The village of
Einrogard, located in place of the sky. Instead of stars, light twinkled on the high ceiling of the main building, and instead of the horizon, a thick fog enveloped the village.
Garal took a long breath as the silence penetrated his heart once again.
‘I thought about it last time, but it’s not like Einrogard. It’s a place. Peace.’ ‘It’s good.’
“Raise your hand.”
“Don’t move. I don’t have any grudges on that side, but the moment I move, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
“…”
Garal deeply regretted the feeling of the cold cane on his back and under his neck.
In Einrogard, no matter how peaceful it may be, he would never He should not have let down his guard.
* * *
Lee Han, who arrived at the accommodation village using spatial overlap, used the illusion magic he had just learned to break through the security of the Death Knights and approach the inside.
The mansion where Baldrogard guests stayed was easy to find. It had the most lights. It was a place where loud and loud music was flowing.
-Wait. What is this that was sprinkled on the soil here?
-It’s wine.
-Why is the wine sprinkled on it?
-The Baldrogard guys brought it, but it probably didn’t taste good, so they threw it here. Sachi Because they are evil bastards.
-…I will kill them!
-Jin, calm down.
There was some minor commotion, but Lee Han and Sevius successfully approached the front of the mansion.
While contemplating how to enter, 98% of Baldroguard’s power was used. The wizard who took over walked out with a sigh.
The two exchanged glances.
-That’s good. You’re lucky.
-It’s clear that
the sky was also angry at the actions of those Baldrogard guys
. -… That’s right.
Sigh!
“Sond. “Go.”
“Don’t move. I don’t have any grudges against them, but the moment they move, their safety cannot be guaranteed.”
“!!!”
The wizard, who was completely caught off guard, was much weaker than he thought.
Garal, who had never imagined being attacked in a visitor’s quarters like this, could not use any defensive magic or anything. I got hit without any preparation.
“Take out the cane. Confiscate the reagent.”
“I’m sorry. Mr. Garal.”
“You! A 6th grader from the Wardanaz family!”
“…I don’t really know what you’re talking about.”
Lee Han, who was covering his face, looked at his junior with a bewildered expression.
-What did he do that is being mistaken for a 6th grader? Is that true?
– He didn’t do anything. He just thinks he used some magic.
– Ah. If that’s the case, then I understand. That’s possible.
Sevius was immediately convinced.
The junior’s magical talent would give even Sevius the creeps. As there were times, I thought that an outsider might mistake me for a 6th grader. It
was very strange to learn two magics in that short period of time and learn one more in the spare time…
‘A person with a genius talent. You might feel like you’re more likely to be a crazy sixth grader pretending to be a second grader than a second grader. I get it.’
Sevius thought to himself that he would be very rude if his junior found out.
Garal, who had even had his wand, reagents, and other equipment taken away, sighed and asked,
“Why did the Einrogard students come here? Revenge?”
“We don’t waste our emotions on such useless things.”
“Then?”
“We have come to retrieve our senior’s treasure, which was taken away by Baldrogard students through dirty tricks.”
“Is this a space expansion backpack?”
“!?”
Lee Han was surprised. Sevius asked if he was also surprised.
“How do you know that?”
“Earlier, one of the Baldrogard students was showing off a space expansion backpack. “It was such a well-made item that I wondered if it was possible.”
“That alone doesn’t explain it.”
Sevius asked strictly.
It may seem like you’re clinging to trivial things, but you had to know this before going in.
It could be a trap.
“ No matter how well-made the backpack is, you can’t guess that it was stolen property.” “I
studied with a student at Einrogard and later received it as a token of friendship, so I thought he had stolen it.” ”
……”
The two immediately walked away . I understood.
If that was the case, I could understand why you thought it was suspicious.
“No. Are you saying that it was more of a sign of friendship? Such shameless and filthy bastards!”
Ihan growled, and Garal flinched slightly. The image of this boy from the Wardanaz family summoning the Black Emperor was still vivid.
“I know you are angry at the Baldrogard students, but as a strong person, show mercy. Won’t you give it to me?”
“…Why am I the strong one!?”
‘I’m the strong one, right…’
Sevius thought to himself.
Probably, in order to properly deal with this junior, Einroguard would need several 4th year or higher students. .
“i get it. Let me show you mercy. We have no intention of fighting needlessly with the students of Baldrogard. All you have to do is get your backpack.”
“If that’s the case, there’s a good way.”
“What is it?”
“Just go in and take it out.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at him as if he was dumbfounded.
“No. What kind of nonsense is that? Just go ahead and beat him, subdue him, and then take it?”
I wondered if showing mercy meant ending him with one blow.
But Garal shook his head and said,
“I guess I misunderstood what you meant. This means that you really just have to go in and take it out. Because everyone is sleeping right now.”
“Yes? Are you already sleeping? Does that make sense?”
“They say that going to bed early can help you sleep well, and that it’s good for a wizard’s health… Ugh, that hurts.”
As Ihan tightened his grip on the staff, Garal gasped at the feeling of being strangled.
“I’m sorry. It was a momentary moment. “I gained strength.”
“……”
