Chapter 464 – Distortion (2)

Several teleports in succession. Every time the landscape changed, the hatchlings’ eyes also sparkled. At first, the guys who were a little wary of Iona started to look at her with respect.

Finally we were able to arrive at our destination.

Levantine Empire. Duchy of Lindelheit. The center of a vast territory that is almost like a small country.

As with most historic family mansions, the Lindelheit Mansion also had a spatial interference circle that prevented teleportation.

… Originally, as the head of the family, I should be able to ignore the spatial interference, but since I had not yet stopped by the mansion and properly authenticated myself as the head of the family to the barrier, I had no choice but to head to the front gate.

Whoa!

The magic light surrounding the area subsides, and the surrounding scenery begins to come into view one by one.

The first thing you see is a high, stately wall. And the front door was firmly closed. At first glance, there were several high-level magics stacked on top of each other.

It was a structure that felt like a fence where the magic side was stronger than the building itself. However, that doesn’t mean that the building is shabby.

The dwarven architectural style I saw during my recent trip to Nidavalir. Similar things were felt everywhere. It was probably built with great effort by the dwarves of the past.

In a building like that, there’s even defensive magic that makes even me hesitate? At this level, it’s almost like a small fortress. At this level, even Punishment would be able to block at least one shot.

This is the first time I have actually been to the mansion after receiving Lindelheit’s name and territory, so I am impressed without even realizing it.

“W-Who are you! “Reveal your identity!”

“You know this is the Lindelheit family, but you still commit such rudeness!”

The two gatekeepers took out their spears and shouted. Although he was embarrassed, he seemed to have quite a bit of spirit, as if he wasn’t going to back down easily.

However, that confident appearance suddenly changed when I took a closer look at his face.

“Go, Lord?”

“How can I…”

The gatekeepers hastily removed the window. Okay. It’s my first time seeing my face, but isn’t the job of the gatekeeper in the first place to memorize and distinguish people’s faces?

Something shiny and suspicious came rushing in, so I aimed my weapon first, but as soon as I saw my face, I guess they knew who I was.

This means that he is faithful to his duties as a gatekeeper, so it is not necessary to hold him accountable.

So I nodded my head moderately and opened my mouth.

“Okay. Grow. “It’s my first time here, but I came because I heard someone was occupying my house without permission.”

“That is…”

“…”

One of them trailed off, and the other closed his eyes as if he was making up his mind.

If you look at it roughly, you can see an estimate. These are the guys who have been working for the Lindelheit family for a long time, right? The one who was trying to hide Tarla.

Seeing him fidgeting but not opening his mouth, he chuckled and motioned back. Then, Carla came forward as if she had been waiting.

“Did you call me, master?”

“Huh. “I wanted to ask you if you looked familiar.”

As Carla wrapped her arms around her slender waist, she naturally leaned her body against me. The gatekeepers’ eyes widened at that sight.

“Miss Carla?!”

“I heard a rumor, but I never thought it was true…”

“It’s been a while, Benson, Dodge. Are you okay. We didn’t really come to fight Tarla. To put it bluntly, I came here to accommodate you. … Oh, Tarla, you mean the other me that is inside right now?”

Carla continued her words in a slightly more dignified tone than usual, still entrusting her body to me.

Is it because of that strange unbalance? One of the gatekeepers, who seemed quite shocked, stuttered before opening his mouth.

“The other girl, Carla, is currently injured and is at her place…”

“Hey Benson!”

“Ah.”

The gatekeeper called Doji was horrified and tried to stop him, but it was already too late. I clearly heard that Tarla was in here.

Benson covered his mouth with a bewildered expression. He seemed quite shocked by what he said.

But. From their point of view, I will seem like a vicious nobleman who treats his young lady as a slave, so they may have animosity towards me.

But this much he expected from the time he said he would take Lindel Hight’s name. In other words, doesn’t that mean that Carla’s reputation was this good?

Rather, it is something you should like. If I found out that Carla and I had a much closer relationship than rumored, that loyalty would come back to me.

I passed the gatekeeper with a sad expression and stood in front of the main gate. You can open the door using the Lindelheit family seal that you received at the title award ceremony, but there is a more convenient way.

“Carla.”

“Yes. “Please wait a moment, master.”

Carla extends her hand in front of her. The moment her white fingers touch her front door, a complex magic circle is engraved in the air and sweeps over Karla’s fingertips.

And soon enough, the door opens on its own.

Mei profit-

Performance is solid.

Former Duke of Lindelheit. So, she says, thanks to Karla’s father being taken away without much resistance, there was almost no damage to her mansion.

Of course, most of the magic installed at the time remained intact… The authentication magic on the front door is one of them.

Carla says it’s a door that opens and closes automatically in response to Lindelheit’s blood?

It is said that there are more than one such magic in the Lindelheit family mansion. Since all the previous head of the family became a great wizard, they probably wanted to leave something behind at home.

Even if the magic is cast lightly, it is the magic of an archmage, so it is natural that the level is high.

Anyway, in such a situation, it is impossible for me to take over all the magical systems in the mansion as my own. How could I swallow up what so many great wizards left for their descendants?

I think my combat power is on par with that of an archmage, but in other aspects, I’m a bit inferior to other high-level mages.

So there was talk of tearing down the mansion and rebuilding it… In conclusion, there was no need for that. Because I have Carla.

Is there any reason to worry when there is an owner with an authentic bloodline that has been passed down since the ancestors, rather than the new Lindelheit family that inherited only the name?

It would be enough to transfer the rights to her mansion system to Carla.

Karla, one of her hands still on her magic circle, extended her other hand toward me.

“Master, can you give me your hand?”

“Here.”

As soon as I held Carla’s hand, a foreign mana flowed in.

Mana, neither mine nor Carla’s, began to carefully scan my body.

The mana that circulated through my and Karla’s bodies soon disappeared again, leaving behind only a part of herself.

At the same time, there is an instinctive sense of connection to this mansion. It’s still only connected to one crime prevention system, but eventually it will be possible to receive certification for all other systems as well.

If that happens, this mansion will be completely under my control.

Many magicians have their own areas that they may or may not be able to complete even if they spend a long time.

As a magician, your skills increase significantly just by fighting in an attack or defense, so having your own domain has significant meaning.

The woman smiled contentedly and tickled the underside of Carla’s chin, and Carla came closer to me with her worldly happy smile.

We have such a special relationship! With that feeling, I smiled triumphantly at the two gatekeepers, Benson and Dodge…

“Tsk…”

“Ah… Poor girl Carla…”

?

No, this is a reaction to what I did.

When I glanced at Carla in my arms, Benson and Doji’s reaction seemed to be that it didn’t matter, and they were taking advantage of this opportunity to sniff around intently.

Huh. It’s no different from usual.

There must be something wrong with Benson and Dodge.

He lightly patted both of them on the shoulder in sympathy and followed the open door into the mansion.

I could hear a grown man wailing loudly behind me, but it must have been due to my mood.

As you pass through the gate, you will see a wide road and beautiful gardens surrounding both sides. And while admiring the towering mansion at the end of all this.

Elisha, who had come closer, let out a sigh and said.

“… Isn’t that too harsh for you? “No matter how much I hate those two, what I just did was too much.”

“Huh? “What am I?”

“Were you not aware?!”

Elisha makes loud noises without realizing it. At this, the other women nod their heads one by one.

“It’s Alicia. Isn’t this surprising? There have been more than one incident where the owner seemed to have a good sense of her, but it never happened.”

“That’s right. “There are times when I wonder if Yandel students don’t know the human heart.”

“… “You are so focused on the great cause that you often forget the little things.”
“But I think a husband like that is good too! “Aren’t humans cute when they’re a bit stupid?”

Everyone was momentarily speechless as they looked at the extremely divine gaze of Solari. Only Elaina nodded her head in sympathy.

“Oh, that’s right! “Even if you’re not the godfather, I like that kind of thing in humans!”

Indeed. Even if they are young, a dragon is still a dragon.

We can already see Park’s qualities as a human being.
