Chapter 270 – Academy Part (43) – Taboo Book 2
271. Academy Edition (43) – Taboo Book 2
After some time, Scarlett decided to take me to the capital using the teleport portal as promised.
She said she wanted to go with Charlotte too, but it would be unreasonable for Scarlett to teleport three people at the same time. Even just the two of them already consumes a lot of magic power, and I didn’t know what variables would arise if I couldn’t have precise control in operation. For example, the coordinates are misaligned and fall to another place.
Well, more than anything, I don’t know where Charlotte and I would end up together, but I wouldn’t have bothered to keep them together.
So I warped to her mansion in Telamis, the capital city.
Scarlett’s mansion is also similar to her daughter’s mansion in terms of overall size, including the building style and patterns. Of course, this is not her parents’ home, she said. When you come out of the portal room, the maids greet you politely. We quench our thirst by drinking the tea the maid brought to us in the drawing room. Scarlett smiled and put her glass down as I couldn’t hide my excitement.
“Then shall we go to the library now? If you take a carriage, it won’t take long.”
“Ah yes!”
Ride her lavishly decorated wagon and head to the Royal Magical Library with her.
While moving, I looked at the scenery outside through the carriage window.
Feeling excited is not really acting.
In fact, the only places that have been there so far are the commercial district of Langche, the quiet Rosykesta baron in the provinces, and recently there is only an academy near Langche. However, seeing the scenery of the capital like this made me feel like I was in a different world all over again.
The streets of Telamis are full of life. There are various kinds of stores, and sometimes you can see luxurious buildings that deal with money. There was also a sizeable equipment store, and in what looked like a market area in the distance, colorful fruits were lined up, and it seemed that they were doing wholesale and retail business on a large scale.
There were various types of people on the streets where people walked, but experienced adventurers or mercenaries could be seen, security guards, and lightly armed knights were also seen. You can also see children of lower aristocrats or bourgeois wearing little clothes entering the building with their attendants giggling.
In many ways, it was full of vitality.
“Oh, come to think of it, do you remember anything from the scenery of the capital?”
“Yes? Uhm, I guess it’s probably unrelated. Because it’s the first time I’ve seen it….”
“Okay.”
Not long ago, when Charlotte told Scarlett about the incident related to Armion, she now understands my setting that she also has no memories of her childhood of her. Given the bizarreness of the incident in which the Marquis of Armion of the Kingdom of Bahin came to filter the dispute herself, she tried to infer my identity based on the background knowledge she knew, but would the answer be yes?
She even tried to pretend she was caught in the moment because she used the confession magic that Charlotte had used, but she just tilted her head and said, “What are you doing?” It was because even if I acted in front of her, her great mage her, she would know well whether her magic her was working or not. In fact, Scarlett, who was blocked by my mental resistance, gave herself a look of understanding. She also noticed at first glance that I had divine powers, and she seemed to be simply guessing that there might be a story related to it.
If I acted clumsily, I would have only raised suspicion.
It didn’t take long for the carriage to arrive at the Royal Magical Library in the city center.
Until now, the building density was high, but this library shows its importance as a fairly wide field spreads around the building. The size of the building itself was enormous, but it looked much larger than the convent I had stayed in.
“Wow….”
Inside, the books were tightly arranged in a multi-story structure, reminiscent of a large modern library. The interior also gives a very modern feel, and one corner of the building is not sharp, but has a slanted glass window, so you can see the sunny weather outside. Thanks to that, the atmosphere for reading the book was also great.
The wizards inside her knew her to some extent and did not make a fuss about her when her archmage her appeared. If it’s too much, it’s just a light bow and an example. As for me next to you…. Well, you’d think it’s just a newly fostered mage.
While Scarlett talked to the library staff for a while, I was examining the books in the library next door.
Unfortunately, there are no books like ‘Level Up with Sex☆’.
“The books there can be read to your heart’s content later. Follow me, Raoul.”
“Yes, Countess.”
Following Scarlett through the open door, a new study area appears.
She said that the first section was level 3, and the one she entered now was level 2. She said that the higher the level, the different the quality of the books. In the case of the 2nd and 3rd class, it is open to all wizards, and the 1st class area can be visited by certain high-ranking or highest-ranking wizards. Indeed, following the wizard’s guidance, I entered the next area, and although the space was a bit small, I saw that the books that appeared to be of good quality were well preserved in the library.
If I can expand my knowledge here and gain even a small enlightenment, my magic level will be much higher.
Of course, I didn’t come here for that.
I looked around and noticed a strange sight in the corner of the room.
When I turned to look, three middle-aged wizards were sitting at a table talking, and right next to them was a small door. I also felt that the door was being affected by a magic circle.
‘Is it so clumsy?’
Embarrassed, I asked Scarlett, who was next to the checking car.
“Countess, what is that door?”
“You can stop worrying about that place. Do you know what that means?”
“Ah…. Yes, I understand.”
It seems that this is the area where the taboo books are located. A place where only high-ranking people like Scarlett can enter. But is there anything wrong with being in such a conspicuous place? Does it have confidence that the books that could be managed deep inside the royal palace are openly placed here? Or were there any political reasons? Because wizards are more independent?
Um, I don’t know the circumstances.
What to say, from the level 1 area where I am now, only those who have been identified can enter, and there are not even five people. No, anyway…. Hopefully there will be no problem
I asked Scarlett with a twinkle in her eyes if she could read until the library closed at night.
Hearing her words of her, she gave a small nod of her head and said that she would send her carriage to wait in the evening, so that she could ride on her own.
She soon returned to her mansion to do her business her.
…………
I glanced out the window and saw darkness descending.
A second-class area with no one in it.
I was reading a book there, exercising perseverance. Occasionally, if you glance around, you can see the library staff walking in and out of the library. I sat at an open table and counted everyone coming in and out of the first-class area, but now there’s no one inside except those three mages.
It will be time to close soon…….
Sure enough, as I expected, a male wizard who had been in and out of the study approached me with a pleased expression.
“Young seeker friend, it’s time for the library to close soon.”
-Match
I immediately clapped my hands and manifested my power. The wizard said, “Uh….’He resisted with a small quiet voice, and after a few seconds he fell into a suggestive state.
‘Cube, now.’
[Okay okay.]
At the same time, I took out the cube from my chest and, as I said before, spread the distortion field in the library.
It was awkward because the goddesses were watching from above. He won’t peep except when I’m having sex, but there’s nothing to lose by being thorough.
“The three wizards in the first-class area are guarding taboo books. Right?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ve never been in, but I’ve heard that.”
“Do you know how to use mental attack magic?”
“Yes, I know a little bit.”
“Then guide me inside.”
I ordered him to enter the first class area without delay.
At this, the three wizards tilt their heads and ask him.
“Wilheim, what is it? Why did you bring that young man?”
“Attack.”
“Yes. …… Huh!”
As I said, the wizard named Wilheim suddenly began attacking the three of them in the spirit world. The three wizards were started by the sudden attack, but soon drove his magic away from them with the use of mana. But at that moment, I also manifested my power.
The double psychic attack did a pretty good job of weakening their resistance.
“Ugh… !!”
I saw someone among them desperately trying to manipulate something in the magic circle. Surprised by this, I consumed more of my divine power and manifested the power on him. I don’t know what it is, but I have a bad feeling.
Fortunately, before that, the pupils of the three went blank and went into a suggestive state.
‘If I saved a little bit of strength, I almost got in trouble.’
Taking a deep breath, I ask them about the magic circle hanging on the door.
They said that this door had a considerable level of defensive magic circle, and in a crisis situation, the gin was activated in earnest to send an alarm signal and strengthen the defensive ability. For reference, this alarm signal is said to be transmitted to the archmage like Scarlett and the power corresponding to it. In other words, they served as triggers for defenses and alarm devices, and held out until reinforcements arrived.
Even if only one camp had been activated, it would not have been three people who would have been suppressed in vain.
In an instant, a chill went down his spine.
He almost became the most wanted person of the Kingdom of Glyshen.
I would like to know
“Okay, dismantle Jean and open the door.”
“All right.”
After that, the three of them used mana to manipulate things in order, and then unraveled the spells of the magic circle over several minutes. It’s not that the jean itself has been erased, but it feels like the lock has been unlocked.
Sigh.
When I opened the door, I saw a dark interior and a staircase leading to the basement.
“Don’t let anyone enter the first-class area. Well, no one will be…. Still, just in case, close the door again. If I knock on the door again from the inside, just open it. Okay?”
“I will.”
I closed the door and created a light above my hand with light magic. And without delay, quickly descend to the basement. I’m dragging the time and trying to create another variable.
After going down quite a bit, one more door came out, and when I opened the unlocked door and went in, the light naturally brightened and a small study room was revealed. It is a modest room with only a few study rooms and only two tables.
‘Let’s find it quickly.’
There was no label attached to each study, so I started searching for the standard from the beginning.
The book I was looking at had various black magic spells written on it.
In black magic, the side effects of magic are very close to life, and its ability is also disturbing, making the target’s mind impoverished or brutally killing it. At first glance, it seemed that necromancy using corpses was also documented in detail about the theory. However, in this case, various recorders are asking, ‘Is there a way to apply the theory by changing the medium, and if so, where can it be used?’ And so on.
This one is well preserved.
Although it is inhumane, is the actuation principle or theory itself worthy of research? In the end, even wizards are slaves of knowledge, so it seems that they couldn’t act like a great sage anywhere. Well, it may be helpful to deal with them if you analyze them separately like this. Maybe it’s both.
As I was diligently rummaging through the library, I came across a book as dark red as a rose.
Obviously, the first word in the book’s name was ‘lust’.
