Chapter 84. I was so fooled (2)
Instead of the small hand moving, a sound was transmitted.
– Are you saying I’m saving up the mana I use for a while?
“In theory, yes… but.”
Euryah, who was holding a bead that transmitted her voice in her hand, had strangely slurred speech. Hina, who had been observing Euria’s behavior for a long time and had easily guessed the reason, spoke.
– There are only two of us anyway. Just say whatever you want.
It was because of the title.
Apart from the fact that he has a reputation that is respected by most wizards on the continent, in terms of position alone, the head of the Kairis Wizard Association is equivalent to the position of a Viscount. And Euria has not yet inherited the title from her grandmother, Count Siren. Regardless of whether
Arsene becomes the vice-captain of the Vulcan army or receives a higher title or rank someday later, he will always be a ‘little boy’. There was no need for Euria to worry about titles when dealing with Arsene, and she would never do so in the future.
But didn’t Hina receive the title of count? In terms of title alone, she stands in a much higher position than Euria. Since he couldn’t continue to treat Hina like Arsene like he was a subordinate, he had a hard time saying comfortable words out of habit.
“No. Still, you became a count.”
It wasn’t that I was reluctant to address a high-ranking noble younger than myself. Regardless of that, it would be more accurate to say that I felt like I had lost a younger brother who had great skills but was a little weak when it came to alcohol, which I had acquired while I was in Secretia.
– are you okay. I’m comfortable with that too.
Hina, who had thought that there was nothing good about raising her title except that Kirie became a noble, spoke again.
“… Uh, okay. I guess I’ll have to do that.”
I do not know. Title and all.
Euria, who had decided to just treat Hina as before in private, nodded.
“How much did we talk about?”
– Even the content of collecting mana and storing it.
But I don’t handle mana like wizards or knights.
“That’s right. Do you know what magic power and auror are?”
– I don’t know the details. Because I just heal.
“Wizards create a circle around the heart and store mana there. When that happens, the wizard’s unique mana control ability is added to become magical power. And knights collect mana around here, not the heart. That’s it. “A person who has learned how to transform into an auror and strengthen his body or weapons is called a sword master.”
– yes. I know that much. Also, Prince Calian uses both.
“Rather than saying he uses both… he doesn’t use the two separately, but mixes them together. It’s similar to drinking milk tea instead of black tea and milk. ‘I created a fourth circle with auras and used auras like magic. “He said, ‘I can write it.’”
– Even the prince probably doesn’t know what exactly that is.
“Huh. Honestly, I think so too.”
It’s very Kalian-like.
Hina gave a small smile.
“Anyway, wizards and sword masters store mana in their bodies and use it like that. But healing power isn’t like that.”
– yes. The mana around me passes through me and is transformed into healing power. Rather than storing it in my body, I use my body as a medium. Other healers said that the method is the same, but instead of mana, they use the divine power gathered in sacred items.
After answering this, Hina looked at the medicine bottle that was lying on the table. This was what Euria, who came to visit Hina a little while ago, said without another word.
In this situation where everyone is tense as they prepare for Zeon’s soldiers who may attack at any moment inside or outside the lord’s castle, the reason why Euria bothers to call her and say this has something to do with that vial.
“By the way, Lord Verne.”
As if it was time to get to the point, Euria called out to Hina. When Hina nodded, a translucent film was created around Euria and Hina. It was Silent.
There was one reason why Silent was used even though there were marbles. This is because Hina’s beads transmit words in only one direction. It was not completely impossible to convey the words of the person holding the marble to Hina, but it was extremely unstable. The words could not be conveyed or could be conveyed to the wrong person within the magical range of the orb.
That’s because Balkan wizards created it with the mindset that ‘Only our healer can speak, so those who listen should just nod their heads quietly.’
So, unlike Hina, Euria had to open her mouth to speak, and because it was an important story, she went silent.
“Think of collecting that healing power and storing it somewhere. Like a wizard or a sword master, it’s stored somewhere.”
– Save?
“Uh. Instead, healers don’t necessarily need to store the power somewhere inside the body, so they store it somewhere other than the body. Like melting it in strawberry ice cream or putting it on top of a sugar cookie.”
This is an explanation that is quite tailored to Hina’s perspective.
Thanks to this, while Hina was briefly worried about what the ice cream and sugar cookies with healing powers would taste like, Euria continued speaking.
“That way, even if there are sudden casualties like in the last battle of the Royal Forest, we can treat them without the need for Sir Bern to go all the way to the Seigne River to treat them too hard. All we have to do is hand them a piece of strawberry ice cream and Sir Verne can just play.”
– That’s fascinating. If possible.
“Yes, if possible.”
Euria, following Hina’s words, pointed to the medicine bottle on the table and said. It was another sleeping scent created after Whitlin’s.
“Do you remember the sleeping scent Veronica made?”
– yes. The medicine that was said to have put Prince Calian and Lord Hill to sleep.
“That’s right. It contains a herb called Hergenes. It is an herb that relaxes muscles, but in fact, the Sword Master’s body is not soft enough for muscle relaxants to work. If that were the case, wouldn’t all the anesthetics that pharmacists make work on the Sword Master? ”
– yes. I thought so too.
“Oh. But Lady Lin said that the Secretia’s crew drinks Herzenes mixed with alcohol.”
Since she hadn’t heard that story, Hina just nodded. Euria continued.
“What’s interesting is that Herzenes is originally a herb that does not relax muscles but has the opposite effect. When mixed with alcohol, it becomes a relaxant.”
Hina looked at Euria with her pitch black eyes. Euria, who saw that, said with a look on her face as she realized something.
“It’s difficult for me.”
– yes.
Hina was a healer, not an apothecary or a wizard. It’s strange that Hina, who has never bought or used medicine before, understands Euria’s words.
“To put it simply, it is deceiving the Aurors who protect the body. The sleeping scent contains not only Herzenes but also other herbs that paralyze muscles. Wouldn’t the Aurors who were opposed to it be happy to see Herzenes – because they thought it was a cure
?
“yes. Then, the Auror will absorb Herzenes’ ingredients to easily overcome the paralyzing drug that is trying hard to spread.”
Nod.
I guess he understood up to that point.
“But this is a sleeping scent.”
– Right…. . Oh, you said you mix it with alcohol.
“Okay. That’s it. Alcohol.”
Euria smiled as if she was amazed.
What was in the vial was not a sleeping pill. It was a sleeping scent filled with alcohol to evaporate gases.
“Cruzia, which allows the two ingredients to mix slowly… no. That’s enough. Anyway, there is such material. If you process it and Herzenes to make medicine, Herzenes, whom the Auror has consumed, will slowly get drunk and her personality will gradually change. Not an analgesic, but a powerful relaxant. If you do that, it will become a magic potion that will make even the Sword Master fall asleep.”
Hina nodded again.
Then, she made a face that said she didn’t know what to do. So, what she meant was that the sleeping scent has anything to do with me storing up healing power separately.
“The sleeping incense that Veronica recreated at that time, the sleeping incense that Rashid Brissen used to put the 3 Princes to sleep, was made after Whitlin’s medicine. And what Whitlin added here is a fake healing power that changes to the opposite nature over time and produces a paralyzing effect. There is no need to rescue Herzenes and process her. Simply infuse her with healing power once. Sir Verne can’t do it yet, but Whitlin did it.”
Hina, whose expression hardened for a moment at the name Whitlin, nodded after a while. Then, she looked at Euria and said. – According to what the
Association President said, Mom… …. My mother not only has the power to heal, but she also has the power to have anesthetic or paralyzing effects, and she also has the ability to store that power separately.
“Uh. That’s right.”
– Not only that, but it also creates a shield that the president of the association couldn’t break on his own.
“Yes. It was a strong shield that could not have been broken if the three princes had not hit it from the inside.”
Not only that. Whitlin even killed Zeon’s assassin with that power. But Euria did not bother to tell the story. She was silent for a moment
. Euria continued,
“The power used by Whitlin and Sir Bern’s energy are not much different. Very similar. So, I think Lord Bern can also produce that kind of power. Of course, strawberry ice cream has healing properties.”
Hina let out a long sigh after hearing this.
It seemed like she knew why Euria was saying this.
Hina, who had been lost in thought for a while, spoke up.
– Then. I told her to go to my mother and learn how to do it…
“What are you talking about? Why go back and visit someone you’ve just met and said hello to? Get out of shape.”
Euria cut off Hina’s words as if she was saying something meaningless and continued.
“Five rye breads and a coin. Well done to Whitlin for paying for Sir Verne’s life with that. Even though I don’t know what Lord Bern was thinking when he said those words, I felt relieved.”
“… Yes.”
“But that’s because I was worried. I’m afraid that Lord Bern himself will judge the price of Sir Bern’s life in that way.”
Whitlin did not choose his life, which was worth a coin. I was afraid that he would set his own price like that.
“Whether he wanted it or not, once a person sets his own value, it is set there. I get tied down. “I’ve seen a lot of people like that.”
– My value.
“Uh.”
Hina blinked for a moment and then raised her head. Euria, who was looking at me with clear eyes that were completely different from Whitlin’s, said, “I’m
telling you about your potential. . “Imagine how much more Hina Vern can grow for a coin.”
Hina is still amazing.
She is still amazing enough.
But I am afraid that she will forget how amazing she is. I am afraid that she will forget all that she is amazing now and live by the price she has set for herself. That Hina Vern is so amazing. I was afraid that this person would think that it was just a coin-only option.
That’s why I took the time. In this situation where everyone was tense as they were preparing for Zeon’s soldiers who could attack at any time inside or outside the lord’s castle, I brought sleeping incense that I had no use for right now. In fact ,
Euria is not a person related to Balkan.
Privately, she follows Allen, whom she respects slightly more than Sispanian, and publicly, she sides with Calian for the benefit of the Kairis mages. In fact, Hinawa is not a person. There is no particular relationship. It is just a close friendship for a while in Secretia. Hina has never provided much help to Euria, and there will be no need for Euria to have much need for Hina’s abilities in the future. – Yes, President of the Association.
Nonetheless
, The reason why I tell you this is just because
Euria has lived in a not particularly difficult environment, but has seen and experienced much more than Hina and has lived a little longer. Because Euria is an adult. That’s probably just the reason
. –
I will do that. Let me imagine.
Knowing that, Hina made a promise instead of saying thank you. Euria, who understood that the promise meant more than a few words of gratitude, grinned and answered. “Uh
. While thinking about that, please make me a new Coco ribbon. Put my name in it instead of Coco Mom.”
If you are so grateful, pay it back.
Hina’s voice, which became lighter at those words, reaches Euria’s head.
– Yes. I will write down both Cocoa Dad and Coco Mom.
“That’s enough, little blue kid. Take it out. Why go to the trouble of putting both of them? All you need is me.”
Hina burst out laughing, being the great light and reason for Kalian’s life, but he himself is still at an age where he still has a lot of growing up to do. Then, he nods eagerly and moves his head once again. It was.
Next time Coco’s ribbon should be the prettiest purple in the world. I should embroider both Cocoa’s dad and Coco’s mom and make it. I
made
up
my mind like that
. Are you holding it?”
“I let it go.”
“My hair is a very precious piece of hair. If I hadn’t been so lively for a moment because I was dragged back to a place where I was so unwelcome, you would have felt a little more empty every time you grabbed my knife.” “I know.” “I
told
you to be quiet in Whitlin, but how did you come here? If your crazy guys really go crazy because you’re gone, are you really going to take turns and ride on their backs? Well, I guess it would still be comfortable. By the way, how did you really get here? Did Danu call my brother, who was quietly living in Whitlin, here? No, I mean, even though I’ve been telling you for a hundred days not to touch, touch or step on anything, why don’t you listen to me like this?”
I don’t know.
Ash’s barking doesn’t count.
I’ll just let him bark.
“Brother, you know I’m not the only crazy person around. Why are you so careless? By now you’ve learned just how many crazy people there are in the world. Not all crazy people are pretty and crazy like me. Isn’t it true just by looking at Danu hiding darkly in a corner here? Just because it’s called a tree, you shouldn’t expect it to be as green as your brother.”
Yes…
there must be days when it barks as much as it likes.
“A person who is not only weak but also has a very unpleasant stomach, smells like a musty, rotten tree. I really don’t understand how you came to this place to take charge of it. It’s damp and wet, and there’s only mold growing here and there that makes people feel uncomfortable, and there’s no rot anywhere on the tree. Why on earth do you come here?” …… Right. Unless it’s times like this, my
brother
. When am I going to bark excitedly like this again? Isn’t it my brother’s job to take care of me and let me bark freely at this point? “Brother, if you have
this big of a mind and can do something, you wouldn’t come to see a tree that’s all rotted away, but eat rabbit meat with a fork. Would you like to take it from me? Let’s just say it ‘s okay
to eat green peppers.”
No, it’s not something that needs to be taken care of.
Obviously, no. It’s clear that it’s not.
“Ripe carrots are so delicious, but people who don’t even eat them but avoid them because they smell like ostrich meat come to places like this. Anyway, my brother, he went through puberty for a really long time.”
“Hey.”
“Yes.”
“In moderation.”
“I’m asking why you came to meet that bastard who can’t be separated from you. “I am.”
It’s cold again.
It wasn’t cold for having been ‘fooled’ by Plants so far. They
simply tricked Zeon’s eyes into revealing to Calian how to apply the power of the harpies, and gave Calian a pure white sword. It is a cold feeling toward a question that cannot be explained simply because it was done for the sake of passing it on. It is a cold feeling toward the fact that Kalyan blindfolded him and followed him here and then arbitrarily jumped in front of Danu without even calling him. The thought that his trust would be broken
. Rather than being angry or disappointed, it’s a feeling of coolness that falls into the category of worry. It’s still like that.
“I heard you can’t lie. Did I mishear what you said about waiting?”
Plantz answered.
Calian, who had been staring at Plantz for a moment, turned his head.
“… I didn’t mishear what you said.”
“Then wait. Because it’s okay.”
A belated answer comes from behind the big back of the crazy guy, who was standing facing the castle wall this time, standing with Plantz behind him, watching the wall full of devastation again. “Yes,” Plantz nodded.
And
then
. He took a step forward.
He stood side by side with Kalian and looked around silently. As if he was looking for Danu, who had remained silent despite Kalian’s continued harsh words after warning Kalian. But Danu did not reply any further
. They did not do anything. They did not show the numerous corpses under and around the walls. They did not take any action, leaving Planz inside the burned and blood-soaked city and leaving Calian, who had stood again in the form of ‘Bern’, alone. There was.
Planz, who had been standing still for quite some time as if waiting for Danu, opened his mouth.
“I thought it was strange. Wasn’t it your brother?”
“Shouldn’t you ask whether there was anything strange? Sir Hertz, who learned swordsmanship from books, wrote Sinastar. Agile.”
“Not…”
“Then what?”
“I heard Danu joined hands with Zeon.”
“Yes.”
“But thirty people came. They’re going to catch us. “It’s strange,”
said Planz.
Calian frowned and looked back at Plantz. He looked at his brother with eyes that seemed to have chosen the clearest amethyst and carefully coated it with noble colors. He looked at me
. Finally, I was able to completely satisfy my curiosity about the identity of the guy who was pretending to be Takari. I finally ‘noticed’ that Planz had been following him in the disguise of Arsene. And I had my doubts. Planz was disguised as
Arsene
. Kyrie and Calian are on the path of Tsu Sword Master. Even if they steal ‘mana’ from them, only 30 people will be able to deal with them. Calian and Kirie must fight while protecting Arsene, who has become powerless due to the ban on using magic, and Randel, who is powerless. Rather, it seems that three talented swordsmen with one Randel behind them would not be able to deal with thirty people.
“…… Don’t you understand? “Danuga noticed that his appearance has changed.”
“If he had known, he would have told us to send more people. Danuga. At least you knew what kind of sword was in my pocket.”
Danu said he just observed the events of the past, not that he saw through them. He did not even recognize the identity of Plantz, who was disguised as Arsene. Forest of Elves Even when Planz, who had been holding Calian, came in and called out Calian to show off, he came in with him and removed his disguise.
“Then what about the healer of the elves? Don’t you see right through it?”
But it wasn’t Hina.
She recognized the stone in the hearts of those who had sent a white eagle disguised as the one-armed swordsman Norton from Zeon, knowing that what was inside Serzane was someone else. “Perhaps
I. I think I’m smarter than you. They think they know how to see further than my mother. I believe my understanding is better than Sispanian’s. Isn’t it?”
“… You’re so confident.”
He was saying that the mother of the elves would not necessarily have all the power of her children.
“If you had known how to see through, you would have disguised yourself as me when you were using the elf Whitlin. “You probably didn’t give instructions to kidnap your brother,”
said Plantz, who had come here looking for another loophole, as if he was certain. “
Then, if you had told me that, I would have listened and acted accordingly.”
“Your brother lied. Because you can’t do it. I covered your eyes first. Is it wrong?”
He announced that he wanted to confirm Danu’s inability to just watch. Very proudly.
Calian, who was watching Plants like that, quietly opened his mouth.
“I should brag to Dmirea.”
“What to the Duke? “
“You grew peas well.”
Calian gave me the best compliment he could give me, and he looked a little proud.
