Thanks to Tia’s unconventional decision, I can also rest… … did not take

There is no time to rest. Chapter 7 of the main story that will be coming this time feels like an episode of taking a break, but that’s why you need to improve your skills.

I still don’t have many types of advanced magic that I can use.

And above all… … .

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 3]

EXP: 242/1500

It’s this guy.

He learned advanced magic, including divine magic and fairy magic, but he could even use transcendental magic, [Prometheus].

In fact, the fight relying on [the ruler of mana] was no longer fought.

“There is no such thing as a gyereuk.”

These days, I wrote it with the feeling of filling the gap while preparing magic rather than the feeling of using [The Ruler of Mana] to bring out the Joker.

Of course, the overwhelming development speed of [The Ruler of Mana] is good enough to give an anomaly.

But in the end, we have no choice but to rely on probabilities, so the expected value is low.

“If you think about what happened at level 3, there is a good chance that even the highest level magic is locked… … .”

The problem is that.

To be honest, I don’t want to pay attention to such a trashy skill anymore, but I can’t help but doubt it.

Isn’t the unkindness of our game crew already well known?

They must be enjoying my pain. They must be the ones who think of users as dogs and pigs.

“Whoa… … .”

In the end, you have to repeat this boring and unfulfilling labor.

What, it’s just everyday. I’m saying this, but I’ve never skipped a dungeon any day of the week.

You need to collect not only ＜Prana Fragments＞ but also other materials.

There is no place to use it right away, but the more materials the better to respond to the ‘outside beings’ that will invade sooner or later.

“Today, the timbers… … .”

Thursday’s day dungeon.

True to its name, it is a dungeon where all types of wood come out as materials.

“Come to think of it, was this also there?”

Come to think of it, there was a branch of the World Tree that Alexios handed over.

It’s good that I handed over such a valuable item.

Originally, for a wizard, a wand is just a tool for comfortably drawing mana processing.

That’s why I didn’t write.

Because in Oz’s body, mana was processed into the desired form at the same time he thought.

The only problem was drawing that processed mana into a spell.

However, if the material is about the size of a branch of the World Tree, it’s a different story.

If you make a wand with this, that alone will increase the power of magic by about 1.5 times.

“… … .”

The question is, how do you turn this into a cane? It’s obvious, but as a craftsman, I can’t even handle it. Only valuable materials are thrown away.

So, where is the best place to handle this material?

“Speller… … .”

There is only one damn place. It’s something you can’t do right now.

Right now, assassins are being sent, but when you enter ＜Spellage＞, there won’t be only one or two elder-level magicians who will go there.

I won’t move as openly as I used to, as Salem has reaped his orders, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be targeted.

Right now I don’t have the discretion to stop them.

“Let’s gather some information… … .”

There are people who might know the branches and fruits of the World Tree.

[SSR Milky Way Elf]

latia picea

The fruit has already been eaten by Baekyang, but the branch is kept.

Furthermore, if there is even the slightest possibility of obtaining fruit, I want to obtain it.

“… … Whatever it is, I have to think about what I have to do today.”

It was never because Latia was awkward.

There is a lot to think about. But there is more to be done than that. There is no room for wasting time.

For now, you just have to deal with today’s daily dungeon and think slowly.

It’s 4:00 in the morning.

I don’t know the standard, but this time is when the cycle of the dungeon changes.

Squeezing the bread into my mouth, I open the door and step out.

“… … Wow, what a surprise.”

When I opened the door, I saw red eyes floating in the darkness.

I thought it was a ghost, but when I looked closely, it was Lucia with puffy eyes.

“Uh, that… … . long time no see.”

It’s not really long.

It hadn’t even been a month since I had been to the federation, but it felt like I had been there for several months.

“Is this really the Prince of Oz sincere? Are you getting up early?”

“Only you.”

How long have you been there?

The output of [Contemplation] was set low, but there was no way I wouldn’t know if there was movement.

That means it’s been squatting in front of this for quite some time.

“Are you getting any sleep? Still, the head of the academy would have told me to take a week off.”

Of course, there was no way she could rest for a week under Discre’s command. Still, Tia ordered me to rest for three days, so I must have had that much time to rest.

“Well, I haven’t been able to fall asleep on my own lately. Even on vacation, I don’t know how to sleep.”

“… … yes.”

Lucia’s mind and body were being torn apart by excessive work.

I can be sure of that fact. Those are no longer human eyes.

Discre’s workaholic temperament was such that everyone else tweaked the professor’s educational curriculum, so she must have had a hard time dealing with it too.

“Hey, do you want to come in? It’s still been a while since I turned off the stove, so the warmth should still be there.”

Originally, I would have ignored it and went to the dungeon every day of the week, but I couldn’t ignore Lucia who was there like that.

Since when was it? How many hours did you spend in front of this?

Just imagining it makes me sick to my stomach.

“yes… … .”

Lucia stood up with a nod of her head as if she was shocked at my suggestion.

It’s a bit much to bring a woman into the house at a time like this, but it’ll be okay.

There’s no one around now who will be arguing with that.

Is it an illusion that I feel like I’m picking up an abandoned cat rather than feeling like I’m taking in a woman?

It was when he brought Lucia on the table and brought something to drink to talk.

“ruler.”

“… … hahahaha, is this an honor? To drink tea served by Prince Oz.”

“Wake. It’s just water.”

It’s not even a teacup, it’s just a glass.

What on earth did she see in her eyes that she did that?

“Oh, I see. Are you saying drink cold water and come to your senses?”

“I’ll get in the car and come.”

“Coffee, please.”

“… … .”

It’s a cheeky request, but it can’t be helped.

A life steeped in caffeine can be glimpsed in the fact that you want coffee, not tea.

What a pitiful blessing indeed. The good me should understand, what should I do?

“Whoops.”

“… … .”

“Huhhhhh.”

As I was boiling water, I heard a grotesque laugh from behind.

The time is 4:30 in the morning. It is still dark because the days are getting shorter.

It’s terrifying to the point of being creepy.

“what… … ?”

I checked Lucia’s condition with a side glance and saw that she was trembling terribly with her hands on the table.

No, I’m not shaking.

writing something

I don’t have a pen in my hand or a paper on the table, but out of habit, when I sit in front of my desk, I move my hand.

And by the time Lucia’s eyes begin to capture the abyss even more.

Even though there was nothing in front of her eyes, she started to spit out nonsense.

“… … You professors are screwed! This place is now ruled by assistant professors under Professor Discre. Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”

“Crazy bitch.”

It wasn’t like bringing such a beast of a dead bird into the house.

I’m worried that I’ll be denied.

Later, when Lucia passes away, I will invite Arietta and ask her to perform a purification ceremony.

“Come on, calm down, Lucia? Why don’t you tell me why you’re here?”

“hahahaha… … . Even though we haven’t seen each other in a long time, you start talking about work. As expected, Prince Oz doesn’t change.”

“No, that… … .”

It’s because I don’t want to have a different conversation with you now… … .

But I can’t put that into my mouth. I’m afraid I can’t imagine how things could go wrong if this picky cat gets upset.

“Well, okay. I’ll finish this quickly and move on to the next… … All right, what happened next?”

“Calm down Lucia. you are on vacation now You can rest for a while as long as you ask me.”

“When I rest, who will work… … ?”

“No one works. Everyone is on vacation. So, you can rest now.”

This guy’s vacation is 7 days at most. As short as 3 days.

If you don’t use this period properly, Lucia will break down.

Actually, it doesn’t seem that different even now… … .

“So what do you want to ask?”

“… … Prince of Oz. what about ulla? Why didn’t you come back together?”

“Since he joined Alexios and went to solve their problems, he will come back in a different way than we did?”

We return via teleport, which has been flooded with Tia’s vast amount of mana.

There is no one other than Tia who can use such ridiculous means, so maybe Ula and Alexios will return to normal.

If I cross the border and take the train back, will it take about a week?

“Cry… … . why? why did you betray me I will kill you!”

In my objective judgment, Lucia started to get angry, raising her tail like an angry cat.

Even this guy, even his pupil, changed into a vertical shape. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this level of hostility… … . I guess it’s sincere.

Lucia seems to have been waiting for a slave friend to help her.

“… … Lucia, you are tired now. You better get some rest.”

I can’t let her go wild here.

fairy magic

[Lullaby]

Use the fairy magic that put Yang to sleep toward Lucia.

Originally, it was a technique that slowly induces sleep as if hypnotized, but it’s a different story if you’re pushed to the limit like Lucia.

“Ugh?!”

Immediately after activating the magic, Lucia emits a short death-like sound and falls asleep as if fainting.

The thread of tension that had never been cut off was finally cut off.

“after… … .”

I pick up Lucia, who is breathing heavily while lying face down on the tabletop. Anyway, I can’t let you sleep like that.

“You were so light… … ?”

I felt like I was about to burst into tears at Lucia’s body, which was lighter than I thought.

* * *

Contrary to Oz’s expectations.

Ulla Stillena was able to reach the Imperial Territory relatively quickly.

In addition to the title ＜Tenebris＞, she has another title called ＜Eclipse＞. That’s why there are many tools that can be used.

Of course, there was a problem with bringing Alexios by that means, so Ulla was away from Alexios for a while.

However, when you arrive at ＜Skientia＞, it should be at the same time.

Even so, it was no different that she hurriedly returned to the empire.

“The Executioner of the Stillena family, belonging to Eclipse, has arrived at the call of His Majesty the Emperor.”

Because of that other title.

She was obliged to deliver the information she obtained to the Emperor before ＜Tenebris＞ did.

Of course, I’m not passing on all the information she knows.

Her heart was leaning toward ＜Tenebris＞.

“Oh, that’s right. It looks like you’re back sooner than expected. Don’t be like that, come in. Sir Stillena.”

“Yes, … … What?!”

Ula was tensed by another sign from the other side of the door.

Not one.

There is a guest by the emperor’s side. There are also two monsters of an absurd level.

‘This… … .’

It was a sign she had felt before, but Ula took a deep breath as if she wasn’t going to force herself to show it, and stepped through the door that opened in front of her.

“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Well, you can raise your head.”

First of all, as usual, Ula showed an example by kneeling down to the Emperor of the Empire, ‘Antares Van Helios’.

Antares looked at Ula with interest and watched her next move.

“… … magic kingdom. Meet the owner of Spellage, His Highness Salem, the King of Sorcery.”

Ula immediately bowed her head to the cold-looking man sitting to the right of the emperor.

However, no further examples were taken. Because her owner was always the emperor.

“It’s a dress I’ve seen before.”

“… … Yes?”

Salem looked down at Ulla, who was bowing her head towards her, and muttered a deep voice.

Ulla couldn’t help but question it, even though she knew she shouldn’t.

She is wearing a military uniform now.

However, soldiers are scattered throughout the castle. It’s strange to bring that up in the current situation.

“There were people dressed like that in Spellage too. Clerks at cafes, cleaners at parks, or even plumbers.”

“… … .”

Ula chose silence instead of answering. However, cold sweat broke out on her face as she lowered her head.

The people Salem mentioned are all agents of ＜Tenebris＞.

‘Fucking idiots… … . How could someone go unnoticed?’

Ula internally chewed on the agents in ＜Spellage＞, looking for a way to escape the situation.

In the worst case, the emperor might kill all the agents dispatched to ＜Spellage＞ to cut off their tails.

And that’s true of Ulla, who knows that too.

“But I can see the other side too. He resembles the window cleaner of the Mage Tower, and also resembles the copywriter of the newspaper. Maybe it’s because I’m older, but it’s hard to keep up with trends these days.”

“… … .”

Ula had no choice but to be silent in a different way from Salem’s words.

And Antares, who was sitting next to him, also had a bad expression.

He was slightly twitching his eyebrows.

If those mentioned earlier were agents of ＜Tenebris＞, those mentioned later belonged to ＜Eclipse＞.

＜Eclipse＞ is more secretive than ＜Tenebris＞ as it is the emperor’s secret agency. It’s so bad that even the agents can’t even tell who belongs to ＜Eclipse＞.

But Salem has figured it out.

It was a warning thrown at the emperor.

‘aaa… … .’

Ula, sandwiched between them, was to die for. Now, in real time, her life was at stake.

Needless to say, if the agents of ＜Eclipse＞ were caught even though it was already in a dangerous state.

It would not be strange to go into a tail-cutting situation at any time.

“hahahahaha, I want this. It’s hard to know what you’re talking about. Isn’t this a special place for everyone? It’s so stiff that it’s just awkward for a rural kingdom like me.”

At that time, there was an existence that stopped the fight between Antares and Salem.

“Where did you say you were a lady from the Stillena family? You don’t know much about me, so let me introduce myself a little bit.”

“Yes? Ah yes… … .”

Ulla trembled at the attitude of the one remaining person talking to her.

I couldn’t have imagined that he would be the first to talk to me from the other side.

You need to calm down. As with the previous events, if you take even one wrong step here, you will be assassinated right away.

Ula knows who the opponent is. It is something that shouldn’t be in this place.

She, who handles information, is too famous to pretend not to know.

That’s why I was contemplating whether to pretend to know the other person or pretend not to know him.

But should I say it’s fortunate or unfortunate? The other person started introducing himself first.

“I’m sorry I don’t have a reputation, but for now, I’m a person called ‘Adeld’. It’s nice to have a flower-like lady brighten up such a dull place.”

impersonation, pseudonym, pretense.

None of the words spoken were real.

The other person’s name is not the blatant pseudonym of Adeld.

“Ma, it is an honor to meet you. Mr. Adeld.”

Delay von Chrysos.

The monster had entered the imperial palace under an assumed name.

‘help me! Alexios eugheu!!’

Ula wanted to run away right now, if possible.
