Chapter 87. Adelia, who saw the expression on Mimoran (6)
Calian’s expression, looked even more impressed.
“You sure you didn’t know?”
“I had no idea.”
“How do you not know that?”
“How do I know?”
“It’s Cylestian.”
“Does that dragon know me?”
“How could you know?”
“There’s no way I know. So it’s not like I don’t know either.”
The miraculous logic of why I should know her when she doesn’t even know me was directed at Adelia.
Right now, I have no idea whether the pea knows how to use Clean or not, and I don’t even know when that corn silk that I’m sitting across from me grew like that. No, in the first place, it is unclear which country the lovely raw oyster that is entering my stomach was born and raised on the beach.
Who knows what tricks the golden dragon of the Great Desert can do?
“Eat some oysters.”
I should eat some oysters.
Calian praised himself and said, “I am a really good adult, that I was able to explain step by step in such reasonable words without getting angry at the archmage who kept telling me the same thing.” He raised his hand slightly. Then, recognizing that elegant hand gesture, he quickly entered the Silent Screen and ordered the owner of the most famous restaurant in Siegfried’s Citren City to bring him another plate of the raw oysters he had just eaten.
“Maybe it’s because you guys are good cooks, or maybe it’s because the food you treat my younger brother so kindly is something that His Majesty Crown Prince Planz, my beautiful second older brother and the bright future of this country, would gladly pay for. My hands continue to be like this today. “You’re going.”
He smiled brightly at the owner, who must have not forgotten that it was his sixth plate, with a smile on his face that would at least make him forget his pessimistic thoughts about the country being ruined by paying for raw oysters when the third prince of Kairis ascends to the throne. As it is.
Plus one more thing.
Without even thinking about the reason why Plantz’s neck seemed stiff as he looked out the window again.
A black cat that roams around ready to turn into a wild beast at any time, regardless of time or place, seems to think he can’t stand the sight of a commoner he meets for the first time today, and is so wrapped up in unfamiliar praise that he has never heard anywhere else. I don’t know, maybe it was because I was weighing the increased price of a plate of raw oysters, or maybe it was because I personally experienced Adelia’s bloom that had spread a little while ago and then died down in an instant.
What do you know?
I should eat some oysters.
“I know how to use that power too.”
As soon as the owner who took the order went back outside the silent curtain, Adelia’s voice was heard.
I knew it.
Didn’t I hear that he nullified Euria’s lightning when he first appeared in Secretia?
Therefore, Calian, who had no particular idea about his talent, shook his head. Calian only uses the power that Adelia, another human, also uses, so there’s nothing special about it, right?
“Yes. That’s amazing, Adelia.”
“I learned it from Silestian.”
ah.
I didn’t know that.
“I guess they were very bored. Dragons are teaching humans.”
“Did Alan Manasil say anything?”
“Master doesn’t know you very well. My teacher is not someone who lives a leisurely life to be interested in other things. Moreover, Master, you don’t really teach me magic. You’re already busy, so why don’t you tell me what talent the Golden Dragon of the Great Desert has? ”
“Then you have nothing to do with Cylestian? Really?”
“Nothing. Really. I almost got killed by the Great Desert Warrior and woke up without realizing it. I know I’m getting older, but Adelia. If I have to tell you, I don’t like talking about the same thing again.”
Now that I think about it, I may or may not have told my teacher that I learned how to shake other people’s magic.
Calian, who is young and not very attentive, thought about this for a while.
Meanwhile, Adelia, who was examining Calian with narrowed eyes, opened her mouth.
“Are you just pretending to be indifferent so that your new brothers might worry? I told you a pretty big truth, but there’s no reaction.”
Calian quietly raised his head.
And within the Silent Membrane that surrounded the entire group, I suddenly saw a second Silent Membrane that had been created in duplicate, enclosing only Adelia and Calian.
Calian said with a relaxed expression.
“That sounds strange. A new brother.”
“That day, Rashid Briesen, who was dying while I was moving him, said something interesting about you in his sleep. So I snooped around and heard a few more interesting stories.”
“There’s a lot of time.”
“You seem to have experienced something strange.”
A nice smile appeared on Calian’s lips.
Other than that, his expression didn’t change at all and his voice was the same as usual.
“Say something I can understand, Adelia.”
“You understand. You’re a spoiled king who doesn’t even exist in Secretia.”
A smile, imitating Calian’s, appears on Adelia’s lips.
I guess I walked with my ears closed.
There doesn’t seem to be any interest in Calian’s reaction. I don’t know what I picked up from Xeon, but I was already convinced.
I know it would be useless to refute this any further. So should I change direction right now and go to Fabian and twist Rashid’s neck, or should I go to Tensil and shake off Duke Heidern?
“Adelia.”
Calian, who was thinking, looked at Adelia.
Adelia looked into the red eyes that suddenly became cold and raised her hand.
“Put some life on it. It stings.”
“If you were dissatisfied because life was boring.”
Knock knock.
Kalian said, tapping the plate with the fork in his hand.
“I’m sure I’ll get to hear you say thank you there. What do you think?”
He had let go of the killing spree that was aimed only at Adelia. Anyway, ever since Adelia mentioned Cylestian, she has left only her fears for Calian.
“You bright young thing. If you threaten an elder with his life, you will be scolded. Even though it climbs up like that, I’m keeping it alive because I’m curious, not because it’s pretty.”
“It wasn’t?”
“It wasn’t.”
“Unbelievable.”
– what.
While the argument was going on, I heard Plantz’s voice in my head.
– It’s no big deal.
– It’s not a big deal, but you talk about it separately when everyone is together.
– Rather than saying it’s a big deal, just. I’m a bit surprised to realize that I was mistaken about the reason for keeping me alive.
– …What are you talking about?
– It’s not a big deal, anyway.
– You got caught again.
– How can the saying that it is not a big deal be interpreted that way?
– It’s true that it’s not a big deal.
“After all, you and I are not even friends, so why are you trying to hide it like that?”
“Wasn’t that also true? I thought you were right because you always interfered with everything like an enemy.”
“You’re interfering. Have you forgotten that I saved your life?”
“Ah. That’s right.”
“If it weren’t for what Danu said, I would have already killed you, you spoiled bastard.”
– What will that old wizard do if he finds out?
– Yeah, whatever. I don’t think anything will happen though.
– Then, I hope you don’t worry about how you’re hungry again because you’ve been crying to no avail and just eat something.
– Still, I’m worried.
– Has the blessing disappeared?
– no.
– then. There are blessings and I exist, so why are you worrying?
Plantz, who is not only recognized as a descendant of Sispanian but also ‘the person who will benefit the most if Calian’s legitimacy disappears’, is saying that he is my younger brother, and now whether Adelia knows it or not.
Plantz, who had told him to stop fighting and fill his stomach as it was none of his business, quietly moved his hand. Then I picked up half of the remaining carbonated water, took another leisurely sip, and put it down.
– yes.
Therefore, Calian, who had the same carefree expression on his face, heard Adelia’s words again.
“Anyway, it’s more fun to wait to see how you’ll do something that Adelia of the world will thank you for than to spread the truth about who you are, so don’t be scared. And why spread the word about this funny thing? That’s right. “It’s like that dark wizard is getting more involved.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Ruben. Not me, but another 7th Circle wizard. If word gets out about you, that crazy guy will probably catch you and try to answer my questions, but there’s no benefit to me if I tell you.”
Adelia, who said this, turned her head. Then, he tied the foot of the restaurant owner, who was trying to get closer with the new plate of oysters Kalyan had ordered, in place for a moment, and then opened his mouth. He gave his habitual wink at the owner who was trying to say something with a puzzled face.
“Anyway, it has nothing to do with Silestian.”
“I said there is nothing. Why do you keep asking? Have you become enemies with Celestian?”
“I lost.”
“Did you lose?”
– Drurk!
Adelia stood up. Then he spoke to Calian, who raised his downcast eyes.
“I’m just going to believe what they say is not related to Cylestian and just leave. I’m not going to kill them. Just know that.”
“Are you going?”
“I have to go. Sergein, I’m dying.”
Calian, who had no intention of holding on any longer, nodded.
“I’m just letting you go because I’m telling you that you won’t spread false rumors about me. I won’t call you Master. Just know that.”
Adelia chuckled at the sight of him not getting tired until the end and looked very grateful.
“Sispanians liked humans, and Silestians liked harpies. The reason the harpies know how to steal magic is because of the gift Silestians gave them. I learned it with my own strength. Anyway, if you ever meet a Silestian, you won’t know who your teacher is. “Don’t let anyone know. They’ll hate it so much.”
This is my first time hearing this story.
I bet even Alan has never heard of this.
Calian, who frowned because of this, asked quietly.
“Isn’t it time to share that information?”
“I didn’t bring any money. I guess this will cover the cost of the meal, right?”
Calian, who did not respond for a while, leaned back on his chair. Then, as I looked into Adelia’s dark red eyes, I muttered to myself.
“This is… I guess I should have told you that you are a very interesting person when I get to know you.”
Now that I think about it, there is nothing wrong with what Pea said.
I think I should have tried to cajole Adelia a bit as per the opinion of the green person. I brought up a regret that I don’t really regret.
“Have you tried to persuade me?”
“I thought about it. It’s useful.”
“I hate you because you’re spoiled.”
“I thought that would be the case, so I quit.”
Calian responded lightly and pointed to Adelia’s plate.
“I’ll pay for your advice, so keep your promise to find out the information about the harpy. Next time, come to me properly. I won’t tolerate you showing up in front of the wrong people and scaring the wrong people anymore because of me.”
Adelia chuckled.
“You’re rude. Next time I see you, take care of your manners.”
And after responding like this, he disappeared in an instant. Just like any other time.
Calian turned his head and smiled brightly once again. It was directed at the restaurant owner, who was surprised that his entire body suddenly became heavy and came to a halt.
“I’m sorry. Were you very surprised?”
Do your best and be cheerful.
* * *
The relationship is very complicated.
Adelia seems to hate Cylestian, and Cylestian hates Danu. I said Alan wouldn’t like it either, but I left that out of the equation. Because it’s not a problem that Alan should be involved in.
In any case, what Silestian cherished was the Harpy. However, it is Xeon who is currently using Harpy. Danu is also being used by Zeon.
And those involved in breeding harpies are whitlin. Additionally, what Whitlin hates is:
“Is it Brisen? Still.”
“I heard that when Lord Hertz took a quick look, he responded to the name Gray Brisen.”
“Other than that.”
“Not at all. They say he won’t open his mouth.”
“Your brother’s new subordinate.”
“Are you talking about Ayla?”
“okay.”
“Not yet.”
Many, many, many.
This is a place where the three princes and their party, who came again without notice, were welcomed without any problems. Calian, who was moving the Raven out of the city’s mayor’s house and toward the outside of Siegfried’s outer castle, added his answer.
“They have infiltrated the territory near Whitlin, but they have not yet confirmed anything of this kind.”
“okay.”
“I’ll have to see you again when I get back.”
“If you go, are you going to meet Whitlin right away?”
“Yes, I think so. Time is running out.”
“And then you went out of your way to stop by Siegfried’s Territory.”
“Did you pay a lot for the meal yesterday? I paid for Brother Randel and Adelia’s.”
“…… not.”
Even so, the cost of their meal was nothing compared to what Calian ate alone. Moreover, even so, it was not Plantz’s safe that could be shaken by just one meal from Calian.
Plantz, who responded with a short sigh to the teasing remark, ‘Do you think it’s such a waste to go to Siegfried’s to have a meal’, opened his mouth.
“I wonder if my brother is going to sleep.”
“Are you even worried about that now?”
“I’m not too worried.”
eve.
After leaving the elven city and stopping by Siegfried’s Territory, Calian ate plenty of the raw oysters he had been longing for. I did eat it.
However, if it was only because of the delicious seafood that Calian had in mind that made him stop at the Duchy of Siegfried after leaving the elven forest and heading to the moving magic circle, that was not the case.
This was because it was clear that they would not be able to rest properly if they returned straight to Whitlin, where the battle had just ended. It didn’t really matter to Calian or Kirie, but that messy place wouldn’t be comfortable for Plants and Randel. That’s why I entered Siegfried’s City of Sittren, hoping to take a day’s rest.
“You couldn’t rest even more because you went to Citrune.”
If we had gone straight to Whitlin, Calian would have been able to sleep. There is no need to take turns with Kirie and stand guard all night in front of the prison where the elf assassin is being held.
“You guys took a break. That’s enough.”
“Not you.”
“Are you worried?”
“I do.”
Calian smiled slightly and nodded.
“it’s okay.”
Many, many, many.
Raven’s footsteps, as light as stepping on the wind, followed.
“Is it okay for Marquis Manasil to come here?”
This is Randel’s question.
Kalian, who received greetings from the Siegfried Outer Castle garrison, continued walking and gave his answer.
“Danu is acting like he won’t open the way to the forest, and I can’t use the movement magic circle with that elf. I have no choice but to borrow Master’s help.”
Isn’t this a moving magic circle that only those related to Calian can register and use? I couldn’t take an elf prisoner in something like that.
That’s why I decided to get help from Alan. After getting to a place where people wouldn’t notice me moving through space with Alan.
“So, Danu doesn’t want to be in a relationship with anyone anymore?”
“I don’t know how to know what’s going on, but for now, I think so. I decided not to listen to Zeon’s request.”
“Danu might be threatened again.”
“Anyway. I will inform the Celestians in Zeon that Danu is a fake….”
Many angles.
As Calian’s words stopped, Raven also stopped. Calian frowned and tapped Raven’s saddle once, making a thumping sound.
Calian turned his head.
And Calian, who was sprawled out on the horse tied between Kyrie and Calian, took a look at the elf assassin who had fainted after being hit in the back of the neck instead of getting drunk with the sleep magic he was still poor at, and then opened his mouth.
“I keep getting involved, Cylestian.”
Knock knock knock.
Calian’s fingers moved.
When I first came here, with my back to Siegfried’s outer castle, I faced the hill in front that overlooked Siegfried’s duchy. Standing tall on the wide, empty land, I began to organize my thoughts.
“Tensil joined hands with the Great Desert.”
“It’s been a long time.”
“The one that has been confirmed to be closely related to Zeon is Duke Heidern of Tensil. Rashid Briesen’s mother is there.”
Calian, who had been talking while nodding in response to Randel, closed his mouth for a moment. Instead, Plantz added one more word.
“Now, wouldn’t it be okay to say that most of the warriors in the Great Desert belong to Zeon?”
“Are you looking at it that way because of the number of Zeon soldiers?”
“okay.”
That is correct.
Zeon was not the army of one country. It was said to be an organization where people from various countries joined forces. However, the number of their soldiers was too large. It is so difficult to understand just saying that some people from each country gathered together.
However, if we say that all the tribes in the Great Desert belonged to Zeon, then it would make sense. The same was true when looking at Siona’s reaction. Didn’t the guys who were going around conquering the tribes of the Great Desert belong to Zeon?
And one more thing.
Duke Heidern of Tensil.
A place that is clearly different from when Bern lived. They clearly had something to hide. This is evident from the fact that Rashid was aware of Kalian’s secret.
“Either Duke Haidern of Tensil is the center of Zeon, or they were also one of the people who joined hands with Zeon. In any case, I think their heads are in Tensil or the Great Desert… They are Celestians.”
Silestians love harpies.
That’s why they said they would hate humans named Manasil. However, Zeon revived the Harpy and used it. And on the other hand, he acted as if he was connected to Silestian.
“Will Cylestian like Xeon?”
To say the least, Calian was so angry when Danu snatched Plantz and Adelia grabbed Kyrie. Will Silestian, who said he likes harpies, really like Zeon, who is using harpies?
“No way.”
“Yes… that’s right.”
“What are you thinking?”
As Kalian continued to worry, a welcome voice came to his ears.
Unique hair that gradually turns red towards the ends, sharp eyes, and an extremely gentle smile. An archmage whose appearance you would never recognize no matter where you ran into him was suddenly standing in front of you.
“Master!”
A flower blooms on Kalian’s face.
Calian, who greeted Alan with a smile full of sincerity, not the one he had made up at the restaurant the previous day, opened his mouth.
“Let’s go back first. I’ll go and tell you.”
Alan nodded.
Then he moved his magic as if there was no reason to delay time.
– Ugh!
Magical power swirls.
I feel a warm wind blowing.
Calian closed his eyes for a moment in the unfamiliar yet pleasant wind. Then, as if I suddenly realized something, I remembered it again.
I see darkness.
It was so dark that it was difficult to see even an inch ahead.
“… I heard you couldn’t imitate my teacher with magic. It’s definitely different.”
Calian, who was looking straight into the darkness, opened his mouth.
“Celestian.”
Looking up at golden eyes looking down at him with pupils longer than Calian’s height.
