Chapter 195 – The Horned Woman and the Half-Elf
Rebecca and Kate stared at Bella, who had snuggled up behind me.
Tell me your true feelings-!! Bella hesitated for a moment at Kate’s remark, but then she opened her mouth, blushing.
“…Actually, I want to be with you all. I feel alienated, so don’t leave me alone. Rabbits say that if you’re lonely, you’ll die. My health deteriorates if I’m lonely, too.”
“Your sister is a rabbit? How can you die just because you’re lonely?”
“Here you are!”
At Kate’s question, Bella raised her hands and made her bunny ears on top of her head. Then she hopped and looked at us with the most brazen expression.
We were all at a loss for words at the unexpected feast of her Bella and her jokes.
“Kay, let’s just leave it alone.”
“Yes…”
Even as I watched Bella clinging to my back, Rebecca and Kate didn’t really get into a war of nerves.
He must have been attached to Bella after seeing her face for about two months. The fact that he steadily built up good impressions through the gift offensive will also play a role.
“Whoops.”
Bella, who finally kept her place, smiled proudly as if she had done a great job. She often followed us at our pace, holding the hem of her dress behind my back.
I looked around the relic storage room surrounded by women on three sides, just like the terrain of Korea surrounded by the sea on three sides.
“I guess this is the end. There is no further road leading.”
“All the research materials stolen by the ghoul mage are stored here.”
Finally, we found what we were looking for in the deepest part of the relic storage room. Research data on space magic stole by the ghoul mage, or labyrinth management journals. The principle of space magic was written in detail in the heap of papers piled up.
The magic that manipulates space that was practiced in the distant past has now been discovered in the underground labyrinth of Yoensu.
I cheered along with the wizards of Ninggard.
“Kiyah hoo oh oh oh oh oh-!”
The romance of blinking in front that all wizards have dreamed of! Teleport that connects different regions! Create a sub-space that creates inventory!
All those dreams can come true with space magic.
“The research materials have been preserved! It can be said that Yoensu’s exploration of the underground labyrinth has been successfully completed. The Mage’s Tower will also recognize us as the best contributors.”
Just by discovering space magic research materials, he achieved results that were incomparable to others. However, contrary to Hannah’s excited words, the labyrinth exploration is not completely over yet.
An unidentified structure was placed inside the relic storage room.
“It’s not time to go back yet. We need to investigate what that strange-looking structure is.”
“Isn’t it an accident that you touched for nothing? Personally, we recommend that you step back from this point and entrust the investigation to the second team.”
A cube-like structure made of shiny metal. Waves of powerful magic flowed around him. When you get close, your whole body tingles, making it difficult to breathe properly.
Excluding miscellaneous antiques, the only thing that can be guessed as a ‘relic’ is that cube.
Since the name of the area is the Relics Storage Room, at least one relic must be kept there. Just by looking at it, it looks suspicious.
However, it is not known at all what kind of ability it has.
It’s not like the manual is kindly prepared.
“I just look at it lightly. If it senses any danger, it jumps right out. It seems that this large object is an ancient artifact kept in an underground labyrinth.”
We looked around the giant cube for a while. The cube’s structure was much larger than a person, with a side length of 5M. I looked at the back of the cube from a distance and found a phrase written in an ancient language.
「Space Distortion Device」
The moment I found the phrase, I guessed the identity of the cube to some extent. I picked up a stone that was rolling on the floor and threw it at the cube. At that moment, an amazing phenomenon happened.
The stones that flew in a straight line towards the cube disappeared at some point.
The stone reappeared out of thin air, completely twisted, and returned to me.
Took! The moment the stone fell to the floor, the people who witnessed the unbelievable phenomenon were amazed.
I was quick to warn people before they got close to the cube.
“Don’t get close to that ancient artifact. It has a function that sends objects in the wrong direction. It’s similar to the space distortion that was present at every fork in the labyrinth. But that’s where the transmission direction is randomly determined.”
“Luke. What happens when you get close? Are you sure you’re going to die?”
“You could die. You could walk there and then suddenly fall from the sky.”
After that, I threw stones and the like several times. Any object that came within 3M of the cube suddenly disappeared and appeared from the wrong direction. This is the moment when the concept of space I knew was shaken.
If you study this well, can’t you make a door or something anywhere in another world?
Like Wendy taking a bath and spying on her naked body.
Just imagining it sends a shudder through her entire body. I definitely want to study space magic.
“That’s amazing! It means you can move freely regardless of the distance. If you study that well, you might be able to spy on Dream Maiden while she’s taking a bath!”
“How come you have the same thoughts as me…”
Like a lewd nun, Kate’s way of thinking was similar to mine, a dreamer.
Kate stared at her firm chest and opened her mouth with a hmmm, clearing her mouth.
“In the distant past, before the Great War broke out, it was said that people could visit the Celestial World directly from Midgard. It is said that a holy relic called [Bifrost] Played the role of a transmitter connecting the earth and heaven. So, it is said that the continental people were able to meet the gods in person. The same clergy can’t help but be interested in space magic. There will be a commotion in the church.”
Kate’s voice was serious, unlike before. It had no choice but to believe that heaven, which was believed in by churches in another world, was a space that clearly existed, unlike the earth. Baldur, the god of light, lived in the heaven called Asgard. In other words, if space magic is extremely developed, people from another world will be able to go directly to heaven.
‘It means you can meet the god they worship in person. The taste of mulberry will kill the church members.’
Even if you return with just one signature from Baldur, a new relic will be born on the continent.
If the things found in the labyrinth were known to the outside world, it was certain that there would be an uproar.
“Now the exploration quest is over. Now that we have uncovered the identity of the artifact, isn’t it time to return to the surface?”
“That’s right. It’s not even an artifact we can touch right now.”
The exploration of the labyrinth ended with finding out that the identity of the ancient artifact was a [Space distortion device]. It’s a structure so big that we can’t move the cube by ourselves. The wizards of the Mage Tower will somehow bring it up to the ground.
All we have to do is go outside and report that we have completed our exploration.
But before leaving the labyrinth, there is something to be done. It was copying research materials on space magic.
It’s obvious that if you carry the research materials up to the ground, you’ll retrieve them all from the Magic Tower.
If it’s not going to be a hogu, I’ll have to get a copy first.
“Hey, Delia. Let me look at the research data for a moment. I want to copy everything and analyze it by myself.”
“Are you going to try copying so many documents one by one right now? You’re going to break your wrist while transcribing by hand?”
Delia looked at me with bewildered eyes. Various papers and academic journals piled up in the relics storage room amounted to more than 40 books. It must be that the principle of space magic is so complex that it is on a different level. However, I had no intention of transcribing this ignorant amount from the beginning.
“I’m going to copy it in my head. I’ll remember everything later if I just scan it with my eyes.”
“You’re bluffing! No matter how good your memory is, there’s no way that would be possible.”
Hearing Delia’s scolding in one ear, I took Rumi out of her backpack. It is true that I am not the owner of perfect memory.
However, her magic book, Rumi, was able to remember everything she observed.
Even the words I muttered to myself a few months ago, Rumi remembered everything.
[You say you need my help. Mister Wizard. Do you want to memorize all the space magic research materials? Nod twice if you like.]
If you talk to Rumi in front of people, you’ll be treated like an idiot. Fortunately, Rumi took notice and listened to what I wanted. The moment she nodded her head twice, Rumi began to remember the heaps of research materials. As I unfold the paperwork one by one.
[You have completed the task of saving all the data for the thesis. I can also show you by carving letters directly on my body. I will imitate the original handwriting and show it to you.]
It is a magic book that remembers everything it observes. It’s the first time I’ve used this usefully, so I’m curious about it.
You don’t even have eyes on your spellbook, so where are you looking?
An unknown bitch like AlphaGo. I’ll have to ask Rumi to play chess later. I want to subdue all chess knights in another world with magic books.
[All the work to remember is over.]
It took about an hour to memorize all the research materials to Rumi. It was just in time for her party to finish maintenance in the relic storage room. Delia stared at me as I tucked her Rumi into her backpack and prepared to head back, snorting at her.
“Hee hee! Does it make sense to remember everything that I glanced at? I’m not particularly taking notes in the book I have in my hand. To be honest, are you just bluffing? If you bow to me naked, I might have the kids hand over the manuscript. There is.”
“If you don’t want to spend the night, be quiet, Kampshek.”
“Ugh-.”
Delia hurriedly backed away as I raised her fist.
Where is this Kampyeon secretly trying to order a naked dog geja? Cheeky little bitch who tries to climb every chance!
“Now, everyone, let’s go back! We’re going back to Yoensuu!”
It was time to slowly return home. The labyrinth exploration, which continued day and night for three days, ended with this.
On the way back, I told Rebecca and Kate what had happened when we were separated.
About the struggle with Bella after being kidnapped by the ghoul mage.
“Bella, her sister stayed through and she supported you? Pretty loyal.”
“Right? Quickly tell me you trust me. I’m loyal enough to stay by your side, Mr. Luke.”
“Bella unni… Since you say that behind your back, you look like you’re not there. It really breaks the atmosphere, but you’re a player.”
Bella, who had been quietly listening in the background, spoke to Rebecca. Before I knew it, I saw Bella talking casually with my lovers.
Anyone who sees it seems to be mistaken that she is dating Bella or she is dating me.
“Everyone! Where are you going to start when you go back to the city? I’m thinking of starting with the Mage Tower. I’m going to claim the reward for completing the exploration quest.”
“You mean the magic tools in the catalog? Of course we should take care of them right away.”
During our conversation, Bella brought up the story of the reward of her quest.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but be nervous.
‘It’s finally here.’
The ‘love potion’ that was in the catalog.
The day has come when my lovers and Bella will finally get their hands on the shady potion.
