Chapter 492 – 40. The Empire of Dezac – The Darkness Permeates the Empire (4)

Natalie Ulrich.

The only former disciple of the Great Mage Robert and the current Imperial Mage Tower Master.

As the fourth daughter of a local Korean-American aristocratic family, it was very fortunate that she caught the eye of Robert, who was the owner of the Mage Tower at the time. Thanks to her her, she was able to fully realize her talent her that she was not sure about.

Natalie has since become Robert’s adopted daughter and inherited her master’s surname.

Unbeknownst to her, this was part of Robert’s plan her.

The Ulrich family, which has no relatives to her, because she was bestowed with a title and a castle for her achievements as a great mage.

However, due to an unfortunate accident, her adult generation her was cut off.

If she disguised herself as an accidental death and hid her body her like this, her grandson and granddaughter her would have a hard time in many ways, so Natalie was adopted as her adopted daughter her and used as a shield. This was the truth she would never know, even if she went all her life.

Anyway, Natalie took good care of Adele and Adolf, just as Robert had planned.

She became the head of the Ulrich family, but she didn’t touch anything to pass on everything in her family to her to the two of them, just like my personality. In case of emergency, she rarely used her powers her as an adopted daughter so that she could leave the family at any time.

‘She’s a much better human being than Roberta.’

Valdez thought as he looked at the green-haired female wizard floating in front of her eyes.

To think that she would meet important people in magic one after another.

Maybe it was a signal to attack the magic tower first.

As I was thinking about that, Natalie put on an expression that realized something about her.

“Ah. It’s a warrior’s party, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. Lord of the Tower.”

“Huh? You know me?”

“You’re famous for always floating around in the air.”

“Aha. That’s it too.”

I don’t know if it’s because I hate walking so much that I’m floating with magic even in normal times.

According to Yu Eli, she is concerned about gaining weight, however, so she exercises when she is alone, she says.

‘Is a strange personality a characteristic of wizards?’

“Hmm. Have you seen Princess 1 and Princess 4?”

“Vilma would have met her sister her and probably went to her room her.”

“Ah. As expected, we met. But we went to the room together… Hmm.”

Natalie had a look of surprise.

Even before she ran away from home, Vilma had a hard time with her sister her and distanced herself from her.

Did she get her enlightenment while traveling as a warrior party?

‘I’m glad her sisters are getting along again. There will be some trouble thanks to that.’

It is a fact that even people who are not in the social world know that the emperor gives special treatment to his four children.

Until now, all four of them were not on good terms, or were known to be, but two of them. If it were known that the two princesses, who had no interest in inheriting the throne, were close, it would be obvious even without magic that they would become confused in many ways.

‘It’s going to be very noisy for a while.’

It’s a little hard to say, but they’re both Wizards of the Mage Tower.

One is the Magic Tower, and the other is the disciple of the Four Elders.

I wanted to avoid being involved in politics as much as possible, but I think it will be difficult this time.

“Ha.”

After letting out a sigh filled with depression, I saw a boy standing awkwardly in front of me.

‘No, young man? It’s going to be somewhere in between. I’m young.’

Maybe it’s mid to late teens now.

Without needing to check, he will be the youngest in the warrior party.

I couldn’t hear it in detail, but unlike the last time, this warrior’s party said that the overall age was younger, but it was unlikely that there would be another teenager. Natalie was both fortunate and saddened by the fact.

‘A child who is not even twenty now….’

“…?”

Valdez was confused at the pity in his eyes.

Now, why do you get such stars from a woman you’ve never seen before?

“Lord of the Magic Tower?”

“Ah, I’m sorry. It’s just a pity…”

“Yes?”

“You have a lot of trouble at such a young age.”

“Yes…?”

He couldn’t help but be really taken aback by the sudden statement.

The average age of a human adult on the continent is roughly between 16 and 17 years old.

Although there are slight differences from country to country and region to region, his apparent age his deserves to be considered an adult. In particular, since the age disguised in the selection contest to apply for the warrior party was also small, everything that would be roughly known was known.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been treated like this openly.’

“Did I treat you like a kid too much?”

Belatedly realizing her mistake her, Natalie puts on an apologetic face.

He didn’t feel bad, but he was playful, and he frowned.

“Yes. I think you did too much.”

“Ummm. I’m really sorry.”

“Even though I look a little younger, I’m sure I’m older than half the age of the Mage Tower Lord.”

“Well…?”

Natalie’s age is half a hundred. Half of that is twenty-five.

However, the boy in front of me never seemed to be more than half, let alone half.

Then, realizing something in her, she suddenly smirked.

“Hmm. Is that so? How old am I?”

“Yes? Even if you hit it a lot… Aren’t you in your early 30s?”

“Ah… Whoops.”

Early thirties at most. From her outward appearance of her, it was a very pleasant comment for her, roughly in her early to mid thirties. It is particularly satisfying that she does not know her own real age her. Especially for her who cares about her appearance.

“Thank you for looking at me like that. But… In reality it’s a little more than that♡”

“Ah. Is that so? I’m sorry. Certainly, it doesn’t make sense to be a mage tower master at that age.”

“Whoops. That’s right. I’m glad you see me young.”

“No, no. It’s not flattery, you really only see it that way.”

Valdes flatters with a wave of hands.

It’s true that you flatter her to please her even though you know it.

Of course, Natalie’s physical appearance her only looks the same as the age he talks about.

However, she is the head of the famous Imperial Magic Tower.

So it’s very rare that we don’t know her real age her.

It was natural for Natalie to feel good about her age and her looks her, as she had n’t seen her in a long time.

“Whoops. He’s a good friend.”

“Ahaha…”

Natalie smiled and patted Valdez’s head.

Even though she’s about the same height, because Natalie is airborne, she barely reaches her hand and it touches her head her.

“…”

Even if he flattered her to get her crush her, Valdez felt awkward being treated like this.

He looked at Natalie, who was looking at him with a happy smile.

The opponent you need to target first in the Magic Tower.

The Imperial Mage Tower is a thoroughly meritocratic society, and Natalie, the owner of the Mage Tower, is a wizard worthy of the title of Grand Mage. As such, it would not be an exaggeration to say that if only one master of the Mage Tower was held tightly, he would have obtained half of the Mage Tower.

‘There is little information about this woman. She originally tried to get access through her students her, but maybe….’

I can think of a better way than that.

Natalie has the personality to be kind to someone she likes once.

She asked, looking at Valdes.

“Where were you going?”

“Yes? No. It was my first visit today, so I was looking around the imperial castle.”

“That’s great. Then go have a cup of tea at the magic tower.”

“Ah, from the Mage Tower.”

“Yes. Is it time?”

“Yes, it works. But Vilma and the 4th Princess…”

“It’s okay. It looks like the two of you are having a good time, but it’s better to leave it alone.”

Nodding her head, he followed Natalie to the Magic Tower.

It was an unexpected chance.

Originally, I was going to approach it step by step through Vilma, but to be able to reach the top floor of the magic tower in one breath.

‘I’m lucky.’

Top floor of the tower.

A magic tower built with countless magical powers.

Although it is a huge tower with dozens of floors, movement is conveniently possible with space magic.

When he and Natalie reached the summit, a shadow suddenly came over him.

“Sister!”

“…… ?!”

“I miss you, huh?”

Adele, Natalie’s pupil and Robert’s granddaughter, felt something strange about her hug her.

First of all, the chest that should be soft is hard. Like a man

And Theresia was nowhere to be seen beside her.

“Yes?”

He slowly raised his head and saw a handsome man with an unfamiliar face.

“Oops!”

Adele stumbles back and falls.

Natalie clicked her tongue and shook her head when she saw the bewildered pupil.

“Anyway, there’s no such thing as a jerk.”

“Aww, it hurts…”

Adele asked her teacher, caring the place where her buttocks had been crushed.

“S, Master? Who’s next to you?”

“A knight of the warriors party.”

“Aha. You were Vilma’s colleague!”

Smiling brightly, she quickly got up from her seat and greeted him.

Even though I made a mistake as soon as I met him for the first time, his smile as if nothing had happened is cute.

Her silver-grey hair her and the fact that she is a disciple of the Mage Lord tells us that she is also Robert’s granddaughter, just like the young man we met earlier. But she bears little resemblance to her grandfather her, like her brother her. She was very fortunate considering Robert’s poor appearance of his.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Valdes.”

“I’m Adele Ulrich.”

After introducing herself, she studied Valdés with her twinkling eyes.

Eyes full of interest.

It is different from what they see because they are simply friends of Vilma and because they are in a party of warriors.

“Heroes’ party… The Empire is the last journey, right?”

“Huh? Well, that’s right.”

“Then… You must have traveled all over the continent.”

‘Aha.’

She realized the reason for her seeming interest in her.

At the age of 20, having spent her entire life in the Empire, especially in the Mage Tower, the outside world seemed very interested in her. In a way, she is similar to Vilma. Even if it wasn’t her interest and burden of her, she was interested in the outside of the empire and ran away from home.

“It circled the continent once.”

“Wow! Great!”

“Haha…”

Adele, holding Valdez’s hand, sends a bright look into her eyes.

It looks like they are going to force you to release the bundle of stories right away.

I heard Natalie’s voice from inside.

“How long are you going to keep customers at the entrance. Come inside.”

“Yes!”

She and Adele went inside, dodging the pile of books.

Instead of floating in the air, I saw Natalie sitting on the couch magically serving tea and snacks.

“Sit.”

“Thank you.”

Sitting across from her at Natalie, Valdez asked her to speak comfortably.

Natalie nodded her head saying okay. Adele, who was listening beside her, raised her hand to her.

“Me! Please be nice to me too, Mr. Valdez!”

“Uh, yes?”

“If you’re a friend of Vilma’s, you’re like an older brother to me.”

“Uh…”

I glanced at Natalie, and she shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t care.

“Then I’ll call you Adele.”

“Yes!Hehe.”

“Hmm. It seems that the titles have been roughly sorted out. Please tell me about your travels.”

“That’s right. I’m curious too!”

“Ahaha. I don’t know if it’ll be that fun, but yes. I’ll do it if you want.”

It’s a little burdensome because things are progressing so fast.

Even so, he slowly unraveled the story so that he could win the favor of the two and help him with his plans in the future. If you can communicate well today, you will be able to meet the two often.

‘I like the first button.’

Of course, no one knew what would actually happen.
