Chapter 103 – Nightjars Don’t Sing (1)

After fixing the mansion with magic, Raise was captured by Dojin and headed to his room. Noah followed him.

Arriving at her room after catching her Raize, Do-jin told her to explain why he did this. After hesitating for a while, Rajee asked Do-jin instead.

“Do you know what kind of stuff you made?”

“…… Honestly?”

“Uh.”

“I don’t know.”

“That’s the stuff that kills all wizards.”

It is said that the current magic is an industry that has been stagnant as it is, where talented trainees can only use magical magic only after half a lifetime.

The thing Noah made was said to be something that would blow away the stagnant wizarding industry like a typhoon.

“Isn’t that a good thing? Why were you trying to stop it?”

“The wind blows in front of muddy water, how can you not get muddy water on your body?”

However, too good things are rather checked by vested interests. Just as when High Pass first came out on Earth, it was hampered by large corporations, and when the Wi-Fi function came out on smartphones, the telecommunications company forced to delete the function itself.

Humans move for their own interests, not for the sake of humanity as a whole. If it goes against one’s own interests, even if it has an adverse effect on the entire human race, it is a human being to stop it.

“…… Do-jin, you don’t know the power of the mage tower. If he had left it alone, he would have been caught by someone, and if that person wasn’t a sane person like me, the hounds of the Mage’s Tower would come right away to tear you to death?”

“The hound of the magic tower…….”

Dojin, who heard Raise’s explanation, thought for a moment, then asked Raize again.

“That hound, is it stronger than Seongguk?”

“What?”

“Can I win even if I fight Seongguk?”

“Of course, it’s not enough to beat the Holy Kingdom…….”

“Then it’s fine.”

Dojin has a connection with the saintess. In case of emergency, he could seek asylum in Seongguk and ask for personal protection. He would accept him saying that he liked the saint too.

However, in that case, there were many problems that would arise. There was also a problem with the dungeon right away.

‘Even though there are dungeons in the Holy Kingdom…… Will my dominion work there as well?’

It was a question. If that was possible, it should have been possible to escape from a dungeon in a dungeon territory to a dungeon in another country, but considering that this had never happened before, it would be impossible in the first place.

“Anyway, Laize, you said you were worried about us, right?”

“…… Yes.”

“Thank you.”

“…… No, me too I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.”

The only damage caused by this incident was Seoyoon waking up in the middle of the night. The destroyed roof was repaired by Raize with the magic power of his staff.

Do-jin, who recalled the incident, asked Raize as if he had a good idea.

“Then, do you have this?”

“What?”

“Why, if it’s a problem for people who aren’t magicians to use magic. Wouldn’t it be better for a wizard to carry around and use magic?”

In fact, Raise used this staff to perform magic that was far superior to Dojin. Even now, Dojin did not have the confidence to recreate the magic Raise had.

“No, that…….”

“What’s the problem?”

“… Even if my skills suddenly improve, I think they will be suspicious.”

“Well, I think the appearance of a genius wizard who is second to none in the century is better than the invention of tools that can use magic.”

Indeed, Raise, who heard that, nodded and agreed with his opinion his. Wizards would also welcome a genius who is too good to understand them.

However.

“Really, are you okay?”

This wand is a masterpiece that Noah put his whole heart into and it may be impossible to make it again.

If Raise has a bad heart and runs away with the staff, Dojin will lose that item.

Hearing that, Dojin stroked Rize’s hair. There was a cute corner for being smart.

“Are you going to run away?”

“No, not really, but….”

“Then what are you worried about?”

“… Okay.”

Having a good head often had this downside. Worrying about a lot of unnecessary things that haven’t happened yet.

Not bad. This caution would have helped her ancestors survive danger.

“Laize, since you took this and went back. You can get a seat in the Mage Tower.”

“…… I?”

Raize looked down at the staff. The essence of alchemy that allows you to unleash magic beyond your own ability.

If you have this, you can.
The master of the mage tower. Greatest wizard.
Being Magia Magnus.

“If it’s for you…….”

I will become a gearco.
For Dojin.

* * *

The next day, Raize transformed her wand into a very thin gold leaf. And she devoured it. The intelligence artifact that had been eaten so much rode around inside her body.

It was a horrible feeling to have metal go around tearing me apart. But at the same time, I felt the increased control of her own magic her, now greater than she had ever been before.

Is this the world high-ranking mages see, or is this the world my mentor saw?

Thinking so, she stepped into the magic tower.

“Ah, Laize. I stayed out again…….”

“Kafuu, sorry. I can’t afford to take a joke.”

“Uh, huh? Okay….”

Raize passed her close friend her and headed straight to her master’s workshop. Her teacher her, who hadn’t seen her face her in a while, welcomed her visit her.

“It’s been a while, Rize. So, is teaching newcomers right for you?”

“…… I have something to tell you. Master.”

“What?”

“I want to take the Advanced Mage Exam.”

“…… Laize, how old are you?”

“Twenty-two.”

“Twenty-two… I’m not old enough to be full of blood.”

Her mentor her, Meteor, recalled what she was doing at her age her. He would indulge her arrogance that he, like her, was her genius her, and act on her stubbornness her.

Catching such a deviation would be the true duty of a teacher. Meteor thought so and stopped her.

“I became an intermediate wizard at the age of 30, and for that alone I was praised as a genius wizard. It’s not something to be ashamed of becoming a mid-level wizard at Raise’s age…….”

“Master, since when did a wizard become a talker?”

“…… Rize. What was your habit of talking about?”

“Master said that a magician must always prove the truth through action.”

“Ha, don’t make this issue my problem, go into the room and-“

“Anti-Gravity.”

Saying that, let’s stomp on the floor. In an instant, the gravity of the studio disappears and all objects start to float.

Meteor, completely freed from the effects of gravity, was shocked to see Rize.

“You…… No, how….”

“Master, I will say it again. Intermediate Mage Ryze is a formal request to take the Advanced Mage Exam.”

Took, clang.

At the same time as the declaration, gravity returned, and objects scattered in the workshop fell to the floor and began to be smashed. However, Ryze and Meteor did not show any different reactions.

“Oh, excuse me.”

Saying that, Raize once again performed magic to collect the spilled water and restore the broken bottle.

Meteor felt a moment of fear at the sight of using high-level magic that even her master could not easily use, without any chanting.

“You, what is this—”

Can not believe it. However, her sorcerer’s cool intelligence meant that she had risen to the ranks of advanced wizards like herself.

A history book denied by everyone, it was said that only the world’s first wizard reached the level of an advanced wizard in his 20s.

And Meteor was confirming with his own eyes that the history book was true.

“…… Wait a moment.”

“I don’t think I can wait long.”

“Let’s finish it in five minutes.”

Cooong-.

Meteor’s magical power spread throughout the Mage Tower, and soon after, a meeting of senior wizards began.

After a while, it was unanimously decided that Ryze’s promotion her to a higher level wizard would be decided.

‘Don’t worry about the magic tower.’

For Do-jin, this is an ivory tower. I will swallow you lightly.

* * *

Raise was temporarily absent from the party due to her promotion her to a wizard, and Dojin put her Seoyoon in the vacant spot.

Seeing her her level 3 her like Dojin, her slaughtering her her werewolves simply by wielding her her abilities, Orion was horrified at the sight of her unbelievable her.

‘…… That’s the skill holder.’

Cheat users.

It’s not magic, it’s not technology. It was not a special ability that could be used by a natural blood relative, just a mutation born by chance.

The power exerted by that mutation made Orion tremble.

‘What if it was the ability to create fire instead of the ability to create ice?’

Seoyoon must have become an effective killing weapon for killing elves more than anyone else. If she had only a level 3 ability, she would have burned down the towel and forest in one fell swoop.

“What’s the matter?”

“…… No, nothing.”

Seeing Orion like that, Do-jin approached her head and asked. Orion couldn’t bear to say that she looked too shabby.

The only unhelpful thing about her at this party was her. She showed a dehumanized aspect of the galaxy and slaughtered werewolves.

He himself failed to wound Werewolf with his weapon his.

Although he does n’t have it now, Raize’s specialty was his was using magic to defeat monsters at once.

He could only keep his ears perked up and warn the monsters coming in groups.

Seo-yoon, who had newly joined the party, showed an overbearing figure that reminded her of the one-man army.

…… Even though he said that he would fight her Seoyoon, he did n’t have the confidence to assassinate her.

‘It’s useless.’

He himself is useless Orion was the first to realize that fact. At least, if she were to find her usefulness of her, her large chest and long ears of her would be all she needed.

However, Do-jin did not hug her. Even though she tried hard to seduce her, her Do-jin her pretended not to know and pushed her away.

For some reason, I don’t think her sex appeal is inferior.

“Orion!”

“Ah, yes— kyaaak!”

Orion was greatly caught off guard, bruising her. And carelessness in dungeons can cause great injuries. The nails of the werewolf approaching from afar made her arms her tattered.

Do-jin immediately swung his sword and cut down the werewolf and inspected Orion’s wounds.

Blood flows through She didn’t even have time to recover by spraying the potion. Seoyoon quickly used her ability to freeze her wounds her.

“It’s okay?”

“Yes, yes, yes… I’m sorry… Careless.”

“…… No, that’s fine. Let’s go back today.”

“I’m sorry…… I’m sorry…”

Do-jin took Orion out of the dungeon. And she went straight to the mansion. Because the world’s best healer was waiting in the mansion.

Aram, who was cooking and preparing lunch at the mansion, rushed to Dojin’s call and was horrified to see Orion’s arm his.

“What’s wrong with your arm?”

“I’m hurt.”

“…… I know that when I see it.”

When she put her hand on Orion’s forearm, Seoyoon immediately released her ability to her. At the same time, Aram’s ability was displayed, and her forearm returned to normal.

“… Thanks.”

“Don’t get hurt next time. Ugh… I don’t like this because it’s tasteless.”

After healing Orion’s injury, Aram accepted the injury as his own and eventually drank the potion Noah made to heal the injury.

Although they always ask for it to be made in strawberry flavor, Aram gulps down the potion, which has a strange taste that cannot be explained in words, and leads the party to the restaurant, saying that they should eat and go.

Eating Aram’s meal, Dojin asked Orion.

“Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

“Yes? Ah…… No big deal. It’s just that my condition is a bit….”

“Okay? Then get some rest. After all, there is no such thing as too urgent….”

“Yes….”

Hearing that there was nothing urgent, Orion’s heart grew even more urgent. She has a lot of time with Do-jin, but she doesn’t have much time with herself.

It would sound like a joke if other races heard her say that her time her was not enough, but Orion resided his own race her.

‘Growth is slow because it is a long-lived species….’

Orion was also one of the talented elves among the elves. However, there are limitations. She’s not desperate, so no matter what she does, her growth her is n’t that fast.

‘If this place was a great forest….’

If it had been near the world tree full of her spirits of her, she would have been helpful in her own way.

However, this is a city where spirits have all left due to dungeon spirits and artificial development.

There was no way she could help.

“I will go first. Leader.”

“Go back carefully.”

“Yes.”

Saying that, Orion left the restaurant. As she trudged around the mansion, she heard a song coming from somewhere.

─♪♬♩

“…… This?”

Very beautiful beauty and lyrics that go well with it. It was an unfamiliar language, but it sounded so mysterious to her as an elf.

Eventually, Orion stopped leaving her mansion and moved her feet in the direction she heard her singing. She then found a woman singing in a backyard with a pond.

Upon discovering the woman singing, Orion hesitated.

‘…… That.’

“Lalala~.”

According to the splendid melody, the spirits were dancing along.
