chapter 34
3. Ashera Glaead & Chersha Kalua (12)
***
Kalrisian of the Eastern Mage Tower.
There was nothing rough about Chersha’s steps as she entered the huge mage tower, which had no color on her exterior, as if it were being painted over with dark gray.
Buck and go.
Most of the people in the lobby of the Mage Tower who noticed her like that looked at her with envy, stepping out of their way at her pace.
ㅡThe youngest 5th tier wizard in the history of the Imperial Mage Tower.
Chersha The title she possessed in itself received envy from anyone in the Mage Tower. Considering that the youngest 5th tier wizard before Chersha was 23 years old, the depth of her talent that she possesses is a level that even those who pursue the same magic cannot dare to predict.
End of the right side of the lobby on the 1st floor of the Magic Tower.
Chersha moved her steps and approached the manager of the space to her right, and her manager silently guided her into the space inside her.
In the space we entered under the guidance of the manager, there was a huge magic circle and various items.
The uses of the other items were items necessary for the repair and maintenance of the huge magic circle located in space, and the giant magic circle itself plays the role of manifesting the magic of space movement.
In fact, the space movement magic itself was a high-ranking magic that corresponds to the 6th tier or higher, and the magical power required to implement the spell and magic was so great that even the few archmages in the empire needed a lot of preparation. .
However, the spatial movement installed in the Mage Tower was limited to simply moving between floors inside the Mage Tower, so no great conditions were required.
“Chersha, are you moving to the 8th floor?”
“Yes.”
Even with such a light answer, the magician who was managing her magic circle just lightly bowed her head and showed her courtesy to her, then slowly started the spell of the space movement magic circle.
Shuuung.
The magic circle beneath Chersha’s feet emitted pure white light, and the sound of using her magic resounded quietly. Shortly thereafter, Chersha’s body floated lightly, as if it were slightly lifted off the ground.
Chersha closed her eyes as she felt the magic flowing from her magic circle enveloping her.
How much time has passed since then?
I felt that I was moved as I felt the pungent scent from the magic reagents tickle me, along with the old, old-fashioned scent that might come from an old book.
The wizard in charge of the space movement magic circle on the 8th floor lightly bowed his head and said hello.
Receiving her greeting lightly, Chersha took her foot off her moving magic circle and was about to head to her private room.
As if a small green-haired woman wearing her glasses had finally found Chersha, she quickly approached and raised her voice.
“Che, Chersha!”
“Plea, what’s up?”
“There is a glade that you are interested in! Glad! That glade!”
Plea ran to Chersha in such a hurry that even her black brimmed hat was barely on her head and spoke to her in a hurry.
“I don’t know what happened… Calm down.”
As if her chersha was pathetic, she calmed her down by holding her precarious hat straight as if it were about to fall from her curly hair.
“Ah, no, that was a big deal!!”
“Big deal? Why did something happen to Glad?”
“Yes! Something really big has happened!”
… The way she continued her words with a very serious expression made Chersha feel anxious without even realizing it.
“Come to think of it… Chersha-sama wasn’t interested in mercenaries, right?”
“… Gleaard must be a family of knights, but why are mercenaries suddenly appearing?”
“No. It is said that there was a mercenary who launched an ambush against the Glead family.”
What the hell is Plea talking about? A mere mercenary raiding a prestigious knight family.
After thinking about that for a while, Chersha urged Plea with an expression that still didn’t make sense.
“There was a mercenary raiding a knight’s family. Do you want to say that to me right now?”
“Right! There’s a mercenary who attacked Glead!”
Still, she was Chersha, who thought that she wouldn’t have had such a big deal since she was usually a flirt who made a lot of fuss.
“More details… say it.”
After Chersha’s calm words, Plea continued to speak her words and let her know all sorts of news about her.
Glead’s eldest and second sons, Gora and Bledian, were killed by a special mercenary named Rachel.
A mercenary named Rachel is currently on the run while killing another number of knights, the core force of the family.
We are inquiring about the whereabouts of a mercenary named Rachel in each city, and we are hoping for your cooperation.
Chersha, who was thinking of extracting her content from the long words of Plea, eventually managed to compress it like that, but Chersha, who was quietly listening to Plea’s words, soon realized that Plea was deliberately hiding a fact. Could
She obviously knew what she would be curious about, but she continued to keep the name out of her mouth.
“Among the dead knights. If there is a person named Ed… There is?”
Pleaa swallowed her saliva and carefully answered Chersha’s question as she suddenly hardened her expression.
“That’s because I’m sure I remember the name you asked me often… I looked it up in advance, but the only thing I could find was that he was unconscious….”
Kook.
As Chersha approached Plea, she trampled her foot.
“Kyaaa!”
“Twice again with something like that… Don’t play around.”
Hearing Chersha’s cold voice ringing in her ears, Plea quickly covered her own mouth with her hands and nodded her head.
“She lost consciousness. Are you sure there’s no news about him other than that?”
Nodding.
Seeing Chersha asking so earnestly in a way she had never seen before, Pleaa couldn’t even think of her prank, and she hurriedly nodded her head.
Seeing Plea’s figure like that, she sighed deeply and bit her own nails as if she was uneasy.
… She lost consciousness
Did he really simply lose consciousness?
Since she was injured anywhere, wouldn’t it be right to say that she lost consciousness?
Moreover, the article. A knight who was given the castle of Glead would not have lost consciousness from a simple wound.
Maybe slander.
He might have suffered serious injuries.
I really don’t want to think about it, but what if.
If you assume the worst… It could be that her condition was serious enough to put her life in danger.
Chersha, who was thinking about her various thoughts for a short moment, bit her nails as if she was stretching her body, and she stood there and thought over her thoughts.
There weren’t that many wizards who had enough status to come and go in the lobby on the 8th floor, but everyone was paying attention to Chersha’s unique appearance, which was hard to see.
Then, unable to hold back his curiosity, one of the people approached Plea and whispered to her.
“Is something wrong?”
“…Ah, nothing.”
I’m sure my feet aren’t torn. Thinking about that, Plea shook her head hastily. Seeing Chersha-sama struggling like that now, she was in a situation where she shouldn’t even play trivial pranks because of the atmosphere.
‘What the hell is a person called Ed?’
She is a person who usually doesn’t talk to her very much, but today, after a long time, she wanted to hear her answer. She couldn’t even think of herself.
The person who looked at Plea and Chersha as if wondering for a moment soon left.
Only Chersha, who was constantly thinking about something, and Plea, who was looking at it, were there.
By the time Pleaa was about to get tired of waiting for Chersha, her Chersha let out a deep sigh.
It was like an action that meant that Chersha’s troubles were over, so Pleaa’s eyes lit up. She just waited for her response without speaking to her first. Her biggest concern was that her hasty attitude would incur resentment again.
Chersha, who is rumored to be one of the greatest geniuses of all time, and how much effort she put in until she started talking. There was not the slightest desire to end the relationship at this trivial point.
Chersha, who hadn’t even thought about Plea’s heart, opened her mouth and she muttered softly.
“…… At last.”
She kept thinking over and over again, but the conclusion didn’t come easily.
She wondered if there was really no other way besides going to see him herself. She thought over and over again, but she couldn’t come up with the right way.
If you want to reach the Northern Mage Tower, you will have to contact dozens of times in the middle of the process.
It was too much to simply use it for one’s own personal will, and it took too long to send a person or wait for news because the distance was too far.
The surest way for her is, of course, that she head to the north to check his appearance….
However, she wondered if it would be possible for her to go to the North herself. When I think of the father of the Mage Tower owner… She felt like she was about to sigh just thinking about it.
“Is the Master of the Magic Tower on the top floor?”
Pleaa quickly finishes her thoughts and replies to Chersha’s voice, which she spits out in her weary voice.
“You will be there! I was seated right in front of the entrance of the space movement magic circle, so I didn’t even see the Lord of the Mage Tower go down.”
“Okay.”
Then, Pleaa looked at Chersha with her eyes full of curiosity as she headed back to the space movement magic circle, but she couldn’t bear to speak to her.
“….”
I want to talk to her, but I don’t know if Chersha’s feelings have gone away yet.
She still thinks of her throbbing feet, and still Chersha and herself don’t even have a relationship as her friends, I heard that feeling.
“…… I’m sorry I stepped on her foot.”
She heard Chersha’s voice before entering the space movement magic circle, and for a moment, Pleaa wondered if she had heard it wrong.
But for a while, I screamed loudly without realizing it.
“Oh, no. Chersha!”
After Plea’s loud voice before the door closed, Chersha disappeared on top of the space movement magic circle once again.
***
The top floor of the Magic Tower.
It was commonly used to refer to the 11th and 12th floors.
No matter how high-ranking a high-ranking official was, he couldn’t enter without an appointment. It was also the place where the mages in charge of the core power of the Mage Tower were located.
The space is abnormally huge even though it is on the top floor.
Although the Mage Tower’s space, which was wider than the lower floors, felt abnormal in itself. No one questioned the word magic engraved on the building itself.
And now the 12th floor of the Mage Tower.
A girl appeared in a place where there are spaces with special uses, including the huge laboratory where the magic tower lord Gria Kalua lives.
At the same time as Chersha was present in her space movement magic circle, her wizard came out and greeted her in the same space.
The wizard in charge of the 12th floor did not simply manage the space movement magic circle. The individual’s level of magic also belonged to the high side, and in fact, an existence that plays the same role as the limbs of the owner of the mage tower.
“Do you have any concerns?”
The wizard, who is familiar with Chersha, asked Chersha a question as if she was surprised by her sudden visit.
As if he had even read Chersha’s expression in that short period of time, even the content of the question was very skillful.
“I’m here to see my father.”
Chersha felt it, but she just expressed her will with her calm voice.
“… This is something that will surprise the world.”
She is Chersha, whom she calls her father, not the owner of the Mage Tower.
As if she heard something she couldn’t hear. The wizard bursts into laughter and smiles as if guiding Chersha, taking the lead and approaching the space where Gria Kalua lives.
The wizard soon arrived in front of Gria Kalua’s laboratory and knocked lightly on the door.
Smart.
With a light knock, the luxuriously decorated door slowly opened.
“… Chersha?”
