Chapter 254 – Are You Going to the Labyrinth When You Have Sister Rice Bowls?! (One)
Everyone’s attention was focused on Permaten Castle.
The carriage heading to the entrance to Permaten Castle was clearly a carriage that started from the ‘Magic Tower’, and the horse walked slowly down the main street, as if showing off to others that I was going to Permaten Castle.
Rattling.
The carriage door opened, and two women came out.
“Look at that. It’s Miss Astarote, the magic advisor to the Knights.”
“Seeing as she wasn’t in a succubus state, did she come here as a person from the Magic Tower?”
“The Magic Tower? They just belong to the Magic Tower and are actually from Permatton.”
The first person to get off was Astarote wearing a wizard robe.
She got out of her carriage with an expressionless yet slightly languid look on her face, and lightly extended her hand towards the inside of the carriage.
“Huh!”
The person who got off while holding Astarote’s hand was ‘Barvas’, a white-haired witch with a bent back.
“Crazy, the magic tower lord is coming to Permaten Castle?”
“Oh, I guess I was just visiting. Last time, I was invited as a judge during the Darkzan Festival.”
“Wasn’t that a disaster because they ignored all of the screening and chose the knight Joanna?”
Why did Master Matap visit Permaten?
While everyone was guessing the reason, another woman appeared inside the carriage.
“Wow…”
“Is that woman… Major Evelyn?”
The woman with light pink hair followed Barbas down in a calm manner.
She looked very similar to Astarote, but she was much taller and had a slender physique, so anyone could see that she looked like Astarote’s older sister.
Rumors were already abundant.
Among the magicians belonging to the Magic Tower, there is a magician who specializes in using earth magic, and she is the head of the building magicians who creates all kinds of buildings in Permaten.
All the facilities dreamed of by Luge Permaten have been realized through numerous trials and errors, and the expansive ‘water park’ created near the building where the succubus farmers live is about to open soon.
She visited Permaten Castle wearing clothes that revealed she was a full-fledged Magic Tower wizard, rather than the work robes that indicated a construction wizard.
Even her clothes are identical to the clothes worn by the ‘owners of the Magic Tower’worn by Barbas.
“No way. Eh, probably not.”
“Director Evelyn…?”
“Barvas’ secret daughter? Or granddaughter? Ugh, which one?”
While everyone was lost in their own speculations, the main gate of the count’s castle opened and a man came out to greet the three wizards.
“The owner of the magic tower! And two excellent beautiful wizards. Fermaten welcomes you.”
Rouge Permaten came out in person.
He greeted the three wizards wearing a white suit and coat.
“Have you made a decision?”
“Yes, Count.”
Barbas stepped forward and took out a piece of parchment from her arms, and Rouge unfolded the piece of parchment in its place.
“These are the ‘conditions’ proposed by our Magic Tower. Since Magic Tower, which is an academic research institute and stands for political neutrality, is giving up its position as a Magic Tower, ordinary conditions will not be acceptable.”
“Of course.”
The two talked casually, but those listening to them couldn’t help but prick up their ears.
What?
Will you give up the political neutrality of the Magic Tower?
Are you trying to make a ‘deal’ with Fermaten at the Mage Tower with conditions?
Isn’t this really it?
“Good. I’ll sign it right here. Director Laura. Take a pen.”
“Here it is.”
The bunny girl leader, Laura, who was next to Rouge, took out a feather pen from inside her black coat.
Sarak.
Luge signed the parchment right where he was standing, and Barbas used magic as soon as he received the parchment.
“Replication.”
Puzzle!
As soon as a flash of light exploded, the parchment multiplied into three.
“I will keep the original. One of the copies will go to Permaten and the other will go to ‘my granddaughter’ Evelyn.”
“As much as you want.”
Granddaughter?
Now that Evelyn is that Barbas’ granddaughter?
-Could it be that the rumor was true!
-I thought it was because my hair was pink, but it turned out to be true.
-But. If it were Barbas’ granddaughter, it wouldn’t be strange for her to have that level of skill at that age.
No one knows whether she is a biological granddaughter or an adopted child.
What is important is that an outstanding wizard has joined the Fermaten.
And I didn’t just join as a magic tower…
“Good. From now on, the Magic Tower will become the ‘Fermaten Magic Research Institute.'”
“Thank you. Then, as for the construction of the new magic tower…”
“Let’s get started right away. If you have any materials needed to build the Magic Tower, please tell us. And the ‘Great Magic Tower’ you mentioned…”
Rouge Permaton stretched out her hand her outside her her outer shell her her her her.
“I will allow you to build a magic tower higher than Permaten Castle.”
“Good. I’ll leave the rest to my granddaughters, and I’ll start my personal research for the first time in a while. Ho ho ho.”
“Personal study?”
“Yes. I will not be going out into the outside world until the research is completed. I will be handing over my position to Evelyn, so if you have anything to discuss with me in the future, please consult with ‘Evelyn Barbas’ here.”
Evelyn Barbas.
Those around her were astounded at the fact that the Mage Tower Lord Barbas, who was not someone else, called her own name as if it were her ‘last name’her her.
I know it’s your granddaughter, but.
If that is true.
After Barbas begins his seclusion, the next magic tower lord who will lead the magic tower is-
“Then I’ll leave the next task to the ‘next magic tower owner’ and I’ll be leaving. Ho ho ho.”
Barbas’ image flashed.
In an instant, she transformed into the appearance of a beautiful woman similar to Evelyn, who may have been in her youth, then took out one of her brooms and gently sat on it.
“Hello, everyone!”
With a bright smile, Barbas waved his hand and departed for the sky.
“I will come back the day the research ends! Until then, goodbye everyone!”
Barbas left.
And there is now only one Barbas left on earth.
“You left. Then, Evelyn Barbas, the magic tower lord. And Astarotte Barbas, director of our magic research institute. Both sisters…”
No, two people.
“Shall we three talk privately with Count Bonn?”
Rouge Permaten stretched out his hand to the two sisters, and the two Barbas followed Rouge Permaten into the count’s castle.
Sigh.
The gates of the count’s castle were closed.
Those who observed the entire series of processes couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sense of disappointment.
“Could it be that they even swallowed the Magic Tower?…”
I couldn’t help but think that based on what I saw.
* * *
“The acting was perfect. Don’t you think so? Asti?”
“Rather than acting, it was just a performance for show.”
“Still, people will spread rumors and information on their own. That the Magic Tower has become one with the Fermaton.”
I greeted the two Barbas politely.
“Let me greet you formally again.” This is Count Rouge Permaton.”
“This is Astarotte Barbas, the exclusive wizard advisor to Count Permaton’s knights and the director of the Permaton Mage Research Institute. And this is…”
“This is my older sister and lord of the magic tower, Evelyn Barbas.”
Evelyn looked at me with her humble posture.
“Let me ask you something. Since when did you realize that I was Barbas?”
“From the beginning.”
“…Yes?”
“I knew it from the beginning. The day I went to the Magic Tower to hire a random wizard, I felt it as soon as I saw Barbas. This woman … Was a beauty in the shape of her grandmother.”
Evelyn was confused.
“So I was the one who transformed and hid my identity all this time?”
“While trying not to violate the neutrality of the Magic Tower, I just watched them work for our Fermaten, or more specifically, for Asti. And I came to a conclusion. I thought it wouldn’t matter if I pretended not to know.”
In the end, working for Fermaten is the same.
“How did you know?”
“Because I suck.”
“…Yes?”
“After seeing you, my dick got erect. Common sense tells me that there’s no way I could get an erection on Barbas, that is, my grandmother, right? So I thought, oh, this woman is a witch who has now transformed into “Her grandmother.” She must have undone the transformation. You will be a beauty when you grow up.”
It is logical persuasion.
“I thought she was a witch who was hundreds of years old, but when I found out she was a witch, I was a little surprised that it was a hereditary succession, but that doesn’t really matter anymore. What’s important is that Evelyn, an archmage, is on my side.”
“…The Magic Tower is still a separate organization from the Fermaten.”
“But now it is an alliance, or rather a relationship that can be called a blood alliance.”
“I won’t deny that. Asti is here.”
Now the Magic Tower has changed greatly.
Evelyn’s Magic Tower will be responsible for maintaining political neutrality, and Asti’s Magic Research Institute will be responsible for the actual functions of the Magic Tower and all kinds of magic research.
Other magic towers may ask how this could happen, and other organizations may criticize the magic tower for abandoning neutrality and siding with the Fermatons, but if it’s just insulting, we can do whatever we want.
“Now that we are trying to eliminate the Adventurer’s Guild, if even the Magic Tower, the Adventurer’s Guild’s largest customer, sides with our Fermaten, the adventurers will be greatly shaken.”
I spread two fingers.
“No matter how much you mine magic stones, the income is low, and what if the Magic Tower, which is a big buyer of monster corpses, no longer buys the materials that adventurers catch? Of course, adventurers have no choice but to be eliminated.”
“Are you using the magic tower to eliminate adventurers?”
“There is that too. There are many reasons, but this is one of them.”
Stop the adventurers and kill them.
“Well… We’ll talk about the serious stuff later.”
I gave a signal to Asti, and Asti smiled and held Evelyn’s hand.
“Evelyn Barbas. Let us perform a ritual to further clarify our relationship of trust. You have already seen a lot while working by my side.”
“…You give infinite trust to a virgin you have sex with?”
“Okay.”
I slowly got up from the chair.
“Shall we three have some tea and have some light sex?”
