116 – Leonard Liantour – (final)

“Whoa. Understand. The Grand Duchess said nonsense again.”

“What? You don’t have to listen to what people say to the end. This is what happens when you aim at magic first.”

“It was the Grand Duchess who brought the foreign priest to the Mage Tower.”

In the end, after an hour or so passed, Sinclair listened to our explanation. Upon hearing his instructions, the wizards under his command also collected the magic they developed in their hands.

One of them licked his lips and rubbed a fireball, but his expression was scary for some reason. I don’t know why you’re sorry

Instead, Sinclair also changed the place of conversation to the basement of the Mage Tower, as if it seemed that Sinclair didn’t completely trust us, including YuRia.

Well, it’s a situation where you can feel good just by not doing a separate background check.

“So, the denomination of the foreign press. To be precise, the apostle is corrupting the spirit realm. Are you saying this?”

“Yes. One o’clock is urgent.”

A torch made of magic is stuck on a hook in a dark basement. There were wizards who were almost watching this from afar, and only Yuria’s chair was far away. Around her, her familiars with falcon eyes were lined up, ready to pounce on her.

Yuria had a dissatisfied expression on her face, but her hands were resting on her lap.

It deserves it. Because if she did even the slightest mistake, a magic bullet could be put right in the back of her head.

Seira turned her head and asked Lynn Xia.

“How much longer do you think you can afford before even the contracted spirits are corrupted?”

At that, Lynxia pulled out her wig. Then Wig jumped up on her lap and groaned as she exhaled lightly.

Lin Xia contorted her face and stroked her wig, but this time she didn’t even sing a golgol song. It seemed that it was overpowered.

The light emitted by the wig was noticeably muddy during the two-day trip. Now, the amount of light and saturation were closer to darkness than light.

“… ….”

Seira also lost her words when she saw the light emitted by Wig. It was because even a third-rate, uneducated person like me could feel the energy of the foreign press emanating from Wig’s body.

What a disaster it would be if the lower spirit, Wig, was at this level, and Lautrec and Sylphy in the capital were corrupted.

Maybe it was the right decision to somehow bring Lynchia. At least it would have been better to keep a distance from Lautrec, who had become an apostle.

“…… I think it’s probably about five days. It’s at least this much because it’s a wig, but if it’s the spirits of other spirits, it could be even faster.”

“Hmm.”

At Lincia’s words, Sinclair also raised her eyebrows.

He stared at Wig, then nodded his head with a stiff expression.

“The situation is serious.”

“Right. That’s why you came. The Apostle must be punished, but the scope of the search is too large. I was wondering if I could get some help.”

“…… Understand.”

However, Sinclair’s next words contained an intention of refusal.

“However, it seems difficult.”

“What? Why?”

“It’s a bit long to say, but to sum it up, an official letter came down from the Magic Tower in Middendale this morning.”

“Father’s?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

At first glance, it didn’t seem like a good thing.

Indeed, Sinclair also shrugged disapprovingly.

“It was said that the Golden Duke was independently investigating this issue.”

“Ugh. My father did something wrong.”

Seira touched her forehead and shook her head excitedly.

I don’t know English.

“Why is it that the official notice is coming down?”

“The society of wizards is a bit harsh. It’s a rule of thumb not to touch anything that someone has marked on it. Especially if it’s my father.”

“Yes. All of the mage towers in High Linx are under the command of the Grand Duke of Gold, so the moment they get out of sight, it’s over.”

“They say it’s a wizard’s paradise, but it’s bloody on the inside.”

“I will not deny it.”

Only the strong survive.

I wonder if it is too similar to modern society.

Oddly, I felt sorry for Sinclair.

He also held the high position of tower owner, but it was only a middle management position swayed by the upper ranks.

“But Sinclair. I know that?”

“What is it?”

“My father and I. Which of the two is the top?”

“…… Of course it’s not the grand duke. What do you want to say?”

To Seira’s words, Sinclair gave an obvious answer, but she only smiled mischievously.

“Now, think about it. To be out of sight of my father and to be crippled by him. Which one do you like?”

“…… No way.”

Sinclair and Seira’s eyes cross each other.

As I continued to watch, wondering what was going on, Sinclair stepped back with trembling lips. Looking closely, his face was pale.

Saira opened her mouth as if sticking a wedge into him.

“I speak? Might I tell you?”

“Ha, but! I didn’t promise then that I wouldn’t say anything further on this matter…….”

“That was then. Now is now So, what do you want to do? Would you like to be socially buried?”

After she finished her words, Seira smiled brightly.

Her mouth was smiling, but her eyes were sincere.

“… ….”

Sinclair looked around her.

After checking the wizards lined up, he gestured. It meant go outside.

After all the wizards left the room, only Sinclair and us were left in the basement. YuRia also pulled a chair and sat down.

“The Grand Duchess.”

Sinclair opened her trembling lips.

“I can fully compensate for the mistakes I made at that time.”

“Yes. The time to reward is now. I don’t want anything big, so please support the magic tower’s manpower.”

“… ….”

Answers from Dongmunseo.

“I will introduce you to another Mage Tower.”

“No. I like the white horse tower. Besides, if she went there, she’d say the same thing as Sinclair.”

“…… Whoa.”

In the end, it was Sinclair who gave up.

He let out a long sigh before speaking weakly with his droopy shoulders.

“Okay. Instead, our Mage Tower isn’t in a good shape either, so there are limits to the magicians we can attach to it.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“There is a scholar from the Mage Tower who is currently researching this phenomenon. He is the only person in the White Magic Tower who studies animism. It’s a bit odd, but…… Still, his skills are sure to be friends.”

“Yes. Please be that friend.”

Sinclair clapped his hands as if the story had ended here.

Saira, who had achieved the desired result, also smiled broadly.

“Thank you. After all, I only have an older brother.”

“…… Promise me.”

“Huh?”

“With this help, it’s over. I will not argue with you about it any longer.”

“…… Um, what about it? Maybe?”

Sinclair shook her head excitedly as she watched Seira strangely lengthen her tail.

“Whoa. That’s it. If you’re resting in the private room, I’ll send the elemental mage up as a courtesy.”

“Ah, since we haven’t eaten yet, could you please add some extra food?”

“… ….”

Saira took care of everything she would eat until the end. The spirit of that salty idol was truly phenomenal.

And before leaving the room, Sinclair turned around.

“That Grand Duchess, let me ask you one last question.”

“Yes. What?”

“What kind of person is this boy?”

“Huh?”

Sinclair crossed her arms.

Lyncia flinched when her eyes met.

When Seira tilted her head, he continued.

“A person whom the Grand Duchess respects is rare on this continent. He can be counted on two hands at best.”

“… ….”

“To be honest, at this age, there is only one person on the continent with that status. And the platinum hair and green eyes…….”

At the sharp point, Seira also shut her mouth. Lyncia also rolled her pupils here and there.

However.

Sinclair immediately shook his head.

“…… No. There’s nothing good I should know anyway. More than anything there.”

Sinclair shrugged his shoulders.

“Your gender is different, right?”

“Ah… …. Yep. Yes. That’s it.”

Rather than the disguise working, there was a strong feeling that Sinclair just closed his eyes and moved on.

Well, from his point of view, it must be that he wants to send us off somehow.

*

After that, we moved to the private room and waited for the scholar Sinclair would send us up. Seira was putting the food in her mouth as she requested.

It wasn’t as good as the imperial palace, but quite good food was posted, but I didn’t bother to eat it. It was the same with Lyncia.

“You look like you’re curious, right?”

Seira, who was in the midst of eating, put her fork in her mouth and mumbled.

I shrugged.

“Of course, wouldn’t it? I wondered what kind of debt that Sinclair owed to come out with such a low profile.”

“hahahaha. Not a big deal.”

Seira said that and said, “No, is that a big deal?” He tilted her head.

Lyncia also sat right next to me, wondering if she was curious.

“Once upon a time, I was confessed to.”

“…… A love confession? Who?”

“Sinclair to me.”

“… ….”

“What is your taste in women… ….”

From noble mtl dot com

Saira twitched and glared at me. However, she spoke plainly, as if she could not bear to deny it.

“My taste in women was unique. I was ten years old then.”

“…… What?”

“Ten years old. When i was a kid Was it when you were just mentioned as a candidate for the Archmage? There was a place where the owners of the Magic Tower gathered and had meetings. Her father took in a proud genius daughter. It was probably a good feeling.”

Seira smiled and brought her fork forward.

“I was confessed there, by Sinclair. Let’s get married.”

“…… Maybe Sinclair…… No, how old is this bastard?”

“Were you twenty-five at the time?”

“…… He’s a complete crazy bastard.”

I finally understood why it came out in such a low profile.

Proposing to the daughter of a grand duke who has yet to marry. A man in his 50s, too.

That means she was a pedophile.

“Disgusting… ….”

At my words, Yuria vigorously nodded her head.

“When I said I would tell my father, he bowed down and begged me. So since then, I’ve been using it as a comfortable long term.”

“…… Seira-san is also amazing, really.”

“hahahaha. I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Seira trembled and then continued.

“Actually, that’s the reason His Majesty was disguised as a man.”

“…… Reason?”

Lin Xia twisted her head.

I couldn’t help but understand after hearing Seira’s next words.

“If I confessed to His Majesty, it would really be irreversible, right? It sounds funny, but His Majesty looks just right for Sinclair’s taste in women.”

“… ….”

At that, Lyn Xia opened her mouth.

I am canceling the words I felt sorry for Sinclair earlier.

It was truly self-sufficient.

“Huh.”

I always feel it.

There was not a single top among the wizards.

As expected, you shouldn’t have a mage next to Lynthia.

Especially if it’s a male wizard.
