Chapter 136 – University Mage Tower Petebugens (2)
Following Alina’s guidance, Theorard boarded the elevator of the Mage Tower.
The operation method of this unique room with floating stones forming the lower part was simple.
When the magician on the elevator points to one part of the wall and releases magic, the floating stone responds to the mana and goes up or down.
Incidentally, when the elevator is on a different floor, it is said that it is possible to move it to your own floor through ‘Pyrokinesis’.
It was a groundbreaking invention made using the characteristics of a floating stone that absorbs magical phenomena like a sponge.
“Then, I’ll go up.”
After her explanation her, Alina took out her wand and placed her hand her on her wall to activate the floating magic.
The moment the magic circle extending from Alina’s fingertips formed a certain frame, the elevator, which she had once rattled once, began to rise softly.
Woo woo woo woo-
The elevator that rises with a slight noise comes to me in many ways.
‘As expected, the Magic Tower, which is called a treasure trove of human development, is different. I want to find out exactly what the internal structure is like.’
As Theo Rad looked around with a rather innocent face, the elf standing next to him slightly pinched his thigh.
It sounded like he was being told to maintain an arrogant attitude, so Theorard hurriedly wrinkled his expression. Thanks to this, Alina tensed and straightened her back.
“I’m sorry.”
Huh? Why all of a sudden? Theorard glanced at Alina, holding back her doubts her.
“What do you mean?”
“For someone like Viscount Theorard, it would be faster to use teleportation magic. However, the Mage Tower has its customs and rules……. We ask for your understanding.”
She made an impression without meaning, but it seemed that Alina took it differently.
What’s the point of saying that it’s not like that when you say that? In addition, the elf warned me to maintain an arrogant attitude, so I decided that it would be appropriate to continue acting.
“It’s customary.”
Theorard sneered and looked straight ahead.
“I look like someone who has to abide by the customs and rules of the Mage Tower.”
“Ah. Uh, that’s it……”
Alina’s complexion turns pale. She seemed to be looking back at what she had done wrong. Since there is practically nothing wrong, the confusion is gradually increasing.
Ding-
Then, the door of the elevator opens with a cheerful sound.
Beyond the open door, a moderately long hallway spread out, and the arched door at the end of the hallway naturally caught my eye. A shaggy carpet lay in front of him.
‘Is it the president’s office?’
My heart beats wildly at the thought that there is one of the only two great wizards in the empire.
She was naturally nervous to meet a legendary being she thought she would never see in her life her.
One does not express Theorad, secretly calming her breathing, looked down at Alina. Alina, who had been struggling with her own faults up until now, also looks up at her Theo Rad of her.
“…….”
“…….”
Gazes colliding in the air form a cold silence. The one who broke that silence was, of course, Theorard.
“What are you doing? Without guidance.”
“Ah. Sin, sorry!”
Alina, who answered like a high-spirited recruit, takes her stride to her creaking her. Theorad and her elves, including Alina, followed leisurely.
Hmmm! She reached the rector’s office, Alina cleared her voice and knocked lightly on the door.
“President! This is Alina, a civil affairs administration and counseling clerk! In fact, the honored guest the President told us about in the morning has come!”
There was no answer. Only the huge door scratched the ground and opened inward. It’s like the yeomdong that the president used.
“Viscount Theorard. Please wait here for a moment. There is a procedure…….”
Alina, with an awkward smile, bows her head and goes inside her. The door was then closed, forcing Theorard and the Elves to wait.
Glance. Theorard, who was watching the elf, coughed and went to sit on the sofa in the hallway. The elf follows and lightly sits down beside him.
After that, foolish time passed because they didn’t know what to say to each other.
When will Alina come out? While Theorard scolded the innocent clerk, the elf continued to think of the unpleasant feelings that had settled in him.
—Heung. What do you mean you don’t like it? Aren’t you just a whore who likes things like this?
The voice that had been rumbling in her head had been growing ever since I heard Theo Rad talking and laughing in one room with Essili.
He tried to inquire about the horse’s true intentions in the cabin carriage, but lost his timing as he was preoccupied with the fact that Theorard might have had sexual relations with Essilly.
But if I kept it like this, I thought I would be unable to sleep at night. Since ancient times, the one who regretted talking first, so the elf cautiously opened his lips.
“Master.”
“Yes?”
Theorad turned his head and the elf abruptly dropped his gaze. He didn’t think he would be able to talk face to face.
“Master…… You said something before.”
“Before? When are you talking about?”
“Well, in bed…….”
Bed? Theorard, who had been digging through the past while stroking his chin, nodded as if he knew. Even with a cheerful smile unique to those who yield.
“It is true that you won the sex. It’s clear that I lost, so there’s no need to check.”
What a stupid thing to say…… ! And there was no way I was happy to bow down and be bowed down. The elf, who had been fidgeting with his fingers his, calmed his breathing before muttering again.
“Not that bed. When I slept in my master’s room.”
“Yes? Oh If you sold me as a whore…….”
The elf’s fist clenched. The hem of the skirt his was wrapped in the elf’s hand his, and the wrinkles were clearly visible.
Thanks to this, Theorard was able to realize that elves hate the word ‘whore’.
But why? Isn’t she the kind of woman who likes being sold more than anyone else? She knew she hated being called a whore, but she didn’t know why. Theorad kept her mouth shut, her elf red eyes flickering subtly.
“…… It’s not.”
His voice His sounded like a mix of anger and sadness. The elf pursed her lips as if defending herself.
“I did it for the first time with the owner. I’ve never been with another guy. So, that’s not it…….”
“But I know you’ll like-“
“I do not like it…!”
The elf’s cry echoes in the empty hallway. The elf, who had let out her core emotions of her, brought her legs together, blushing at her shame.
“Now……Because I hate it.”
The expression of the elf who said that seemed somewhat frail. I don’t know why, but at this moment, the elf felt infinitely small.
It’s like dealing with a tricky craft. She was n’t sure why the elf was suddenly changing her attitude to her, but she did n’t want to mention that she was a whore, even though she herself hated it.
Theorard said with sincerity.
“If you don’t like it, stop. Also, saying that you are a prostitute was just a part of selling. I swear to the god of light, I never once considered you a whore.”
The elf’s hand that was gripping the hem of her skirt loosened her. Her face her was still red, but her breathing her calmed down.
But she doesn’t look at Theo Rad. I am happy to confirm my true intentions, but on the other hand, an indescribable shame was cutting through my heart.
Giik-
Thanks to the door to the president’s office being opened just in time, fortunately, the elf didn’t make trivial excuses.
Alina, who came out, looked at the two and pointed awkwardly at the door.
“I, the president asked me to come in.”
Theorard nodded and got up from his seat and walked to the chancellor’s office. As the elf followed, Alina waved her hand and stood in front of her.
“Oh no! As a rule, uninvited people enter the president’s office…….”
“All right. Have them come in.”
A deep and profound tone. Those were the words of Chancellor Brandal. Alina, who had become a chicken dog in her sleep, gave her way with her sullen face to her. Thanks to this, the elf was able to enter the office of the chancellor following Theorad.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting. Anyway, welcome to the Magic Tower.”
In the president’s office, one wall of which is made of glass, Brandal sat in front of the spacious desk and smiled gently.
An old man with a long beard and thick hair is seen wearing a shabby robe. His eyes were sharp, but not terribly overbearing. It was the image of a wizard that anyone can imagine.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come out to meet you. Because there is a lot of work to be done. Please sit in front of me for now. I bought it recently, so it should be nice because it’s soft. Haha.”
Theorard nodded and sat down in the chair as Brandal said.
Although the elf told him to be arrogant, he didn’t think he could be so arrogant against the archmage and old man.
In short, for Theorard, sitting in a chair without answering was the utmost arrogance.
You might think that’s rude, but Brandal still looked at Theorard with a wry smile.
“How is it. Are the chairs a bit soft?”
“…… That’s right.”
“Hehe. I’m glad you’re satisfied. This may be a bit rude, but can we get straight to the point? Because the time allotted to Viscount Theorard is 13 minutes and 30 seconds.”
You mean meeting people in seconds? I heard that wizards have a weird side…….
It was a bit embarrassing, but Theo Rad didn’t want to drag it out too long, so he readily agreed.
“Please.”
“Good. Can I see your hand then? It’s because I have a hobby of reading my palm lately.”
“Palm… You mean?”
“Yes. You won’t get paid, so you can think of it as a service. How is it? Is your mouth watering?”
The curved tail of the eyes gives a generous impression.
Let’s get to the main topic, but why do we want to see the palm line? I didn’t understand, but it seemed like there was nothing wrong with doing what I wanted.
Theorard held out his hand his, and Brandall politely accepted it with both hands and pretended to read his palm his.
Okay. Pretending to see
‘Let’s see….’
Brandal, who had reached the level of a great mage, could tell how wide his opponent’s ‘mana volume’ was by simply touching his body through the personality magic ‘Sensing Wave’ he created. How much mana is contained in it.
For this reason, Brandal intended to draw an inference as to whether it was true that Theorad had perfected the ‘artificial rain’ magic by discerning Theorad Deharm’s mana capacity.
It may not be possible to determine everything by the size of the mana volume, but it could be one of the clues.
The problem was that the elf didn’t know that either. The elf sneaked up behind him and put his hand on Theorad’s back.
The elf linked his mana with Theorad’s mana right before Brandal used the ‘Sensing Wave’. Precisely and subtly so that Brandal does not notice.
‘Theorad Deharm’s mana capacity is…….’
Without knowing the elf’s ultimate motive, Brendal, who slowly closed his eyes and let his mana flow, felt something strange about him. It was because Theorad’s mana capacity was deeper than expected.
‘Well? Why is this…….’
Even then, Brandal felt like he was having fun. He was amazed that an ordinary person who had no higher education as a mage could have such deep and sincere mana.
However, as the measurements continued, Brandal felt an unknown fear.
No matter how deep he went, he couldn’t see the end. One minute passed, two minutes passed, and even after three minutes, he could not reach the end of Theo Rad’s mana.
‘Dae, what the hell…… ?’
Theorad had already surpassed his archmage his, his own mana volume, and threw it away. By that time, Brandal’s breathing had slowly started to get rougher.
Abyss.
Because I felt as if I was peering into an abyss, countless eyes surrounded my surroundings.
He felt as if his mind would be consumed if he continued to use the ‘Sensing Wave’. Terrified, Brandall hurriedly removed his hand and opened his eyes wide.
“Huh…… !”
Returning to reality, Brandal’s chest goes up and down. Brandall looked at Theo Rad in front of him, shaking his hands as if he were facing a monster.
‘Dragon…… ?’
The dragon’s mana volume, which was said to have been extinct in the distant past, is like this.
‘No…….’
Theorad Deharm could have been something more than that…….
