Chapter 277 – Delusions
As Scarlett unfolded the parchment, Wolfgang’s eyes widened.
“This… Must be a text I’ve seen before.”
“Really? Unexpected. Well, you might know more about polar culture than most scholars.”
Runic.
A mystical power used by the Children of Winter. It was a kind of independent magic system that amplified the unique meaning of ancient letters using a specific medium to derive shamanic power.
Didn’t Astrid, who had a bloody battle with Wolfgang during a mission to the polar region, also greatly enhance his combat power by mobilizing the power of Runic?
Among the many characters written on old parchment, one in particular caught Wolfgang’s attention.
“Hey, I’ve seen that scythe character (ᚲ) before. I’m sure you said Kenaz.”
A letter identical to the one engraved on the back of Astrid’s hand.
Astrid, who was grinding her teeth at him, calmed down as if she had become a different person when she released Kenaz’s power, and when exposed to that energy, her transformation magic was forcibly canceled.
In many ways, it is an object that has given us unforgettable memories, so we have no choice but to remember it clearly.
“What? You know better than I thought, right? Then you’ll be able to talk quickly.”
Scarlett opened her eyes wide as if unexpectedly, and cleared her throat while clearing her throat.
Soon after, her lengthy explanation followed.
“Runic is a very unique magic system. Empire magic is always the magician. In other words, magic is manifested by reciting a spell or forming hand signs. However, Runic is the exact opposite. And the medium plays a much more important role. In a way, it can be said that it is much closer to witchcraft than magic. However, when looking at the results alone, the characteristics of magic are clearer than witchcraft…”
“Um. I see. It’s really amazing.”
Wolfgang nodded his head soullessly and put in an appropriate chu-im.
For Wolfgang, who was not a magician, it was a lengthy and abstruse speech, but he could not let it go in one ear. It’s because there were also contents that could open your eyes in the middle.
“The important thing is, in theory, if there is a proper technique and medium, even people who have no knowledge of magic can use the power of Runic. This can be seen as a unique advantage of Runic.”
“Aha. I was wondering how that guy uses that kind of power. So that’s it.”
“Who else is that guy…Kehehe?!”
The middle of the day when I was in the middle of the day.
“Coke, Coke!”
It was Scarlett who was coughing repeatedly, beating her suddenly weak chest.
She seems to have been overheard from talking too much. Wolfgang, who hurriedly looked around her, brought Scarlett’s water bottle that had just been on the table and held it out to her.
“Now. Let’s take it easy for now.”
“Ugh… Thank you…”
—Gulp!
Scarlett drinks water with her eyes closed.
The thin neckline wriggled and transparent water droplets leaked out of her mouth and flowed down her neck along the slender jawline.
If there was a soft valley below the neck, water would have collected in the gap and a rather strange sight would have unfolded.
Unfortunately, Scarlett’s upper body was close to a sheer cliff, so the water droplets just slid straight down, guided by gravity, without any hesitation.
“Puha! Hey, what are you looking at so intently?”
Scarlett blushes and glances at Wolfgang, who was watching the journey of the water drop with a very interesting expression.
Wolfgang shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing.
“I just thought it was… Cute. We don’t have much time, so let’s move on to the next one.”
“What, what? Gwi, cute…! It’s rude to say that to a lady!”
“Okay. Not very cute Lady Scarlett. Then could you finish the explanation?”
“Profit! Do you really want to search?”
Enraged, Scarlett continued to hit Wolfgang’s log-like forearms with her two tiny fists for a long time, but her effect was negligible. No matter how much she hit her, only her own knuckles hurt.
“Ehh, anyway, you hard as a monster. Really…”
Soon she sighed, as if tired of her grass, and called out the empty parchment and quill that were on her table.
“Hey. Is there a chest of drawers behind you? Take out the fifth from the top and the third from the right.”
“I get it.”
Scarlett, who eventually made Wolfgang her jaw with her chin and began to arrange various ingredients, including pieces of the monster’s bones and pieces of unknown mushrooms, on her table.
Wolfgang’s words, ‘why do you pamper him when you can finish it with a single finger’, filled her throat, but in the end he decided to follow her words without muttering.
It was Scarlett’s kindness to help Wolfgang, who came without warning. Normally, I wouldn’t know, but now I’m in a position where I have to fold a few numbers quietly.
“Heung! Good. He listens very well. He usually does this to me…”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know, you idiot.”
Scarlett nodded her head in satisfaction at Wolfgang, who obeyed her orders, and then, in her empty parchment, she wrote down something of her in elegant handwriting. It was a bonus that various ingredients that had turned into fine powder permeated into the ink with one gesture of her hand.
Completed the task in the blink of an eye, she handed the rolled parchment to Wolfgang and said,
“This is the Runic of Restoration. In other words, it is a scroll containing a spell that restores damaged or damaged things to their original state. Maybe this will work for the princess.”
“Is it really?”
“Yes. The way to read it is written separately under the parchment in imperial language, so you only need to find the medium for the spell and activate it. However, you will have to choose the medium very carefully. The power of Runic is determined by the strength of the medium. Know To put it simply, the more precious the food, the tastier it is, right?”
Immediately after that, Wolfgang’s face turned bright.
“Excellent! It’s you, Scarlett!”
Scarlett’s expression as she looked at him who was overjoyed became subtle for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal and gave a serious warning.
“But I’m not sure. It’s kind of a detour. It might work if your brain is injured as a result of trauma or medication, but…”
“Maybe?”
“If the state itself in which the memory is blown is treated as normal, that is, if the memory itself has been overwritten due to strong suggestion or side effects of the mental system’s paranormal ability, the effect will probably be insignificant. Because it is a spell with the power to return to
Unlike the lengthy long-winded snow just before, this time Wolfgang also put all his energy into understanding the precautions properly.
Wolfgang, who was seriously listening to her story, asked a question as if to reaffirm his understanding.
“So it means that even if you cast Runic of Restoration on a person born blind, he won’t be able to open his eyes.
“It’s a cruel but accurate analogy. If this doesn’t solve the problem, then go find the real saint and ask for her miracle. Otherwise, we have no choice but to turn back time.”
Wolfgang nodded earnestly and bowed his head towards his scarlett.
“I understand. Thank you very much, Scarlett.”
“What are you doing? Friends are helping each other.”
Although it was Scarlett who smiled and waved at him.
“I don’t know how to repay this favor.”
“It’s okay. What about grace? The princess isn’t all better yet, but I’m excited.”
“No. The closer you are, the more you have to pay the price. Gold coins? Luxurious items? Precious magic materials? If there’s anything you want, tell me.”
Let Wolfgang tell you that he will repay the favor.
“Yes…? What, if you really want…”
She said, blushing a little, and tapping the tips of her index fingers.
Wolfgang was willing to listen to any request, so I wondered what Scarlett would ask of him.
“Later… I’ll buy you dinner or a meal at a nice place… Of course, just the two, two, two…”
All Scarlett asked of him was dinner.
It was an absurdly low price for taking away the time and effort of a woman who could be the owner of a mage.
“What. Is that really enough?”
So even though she asked again full of her doubts, Scarlett only nodded her head without saying a word.
— Nod
It was a regular movement, as if it were a bird toy drinking water.
It seemed like he was sincere. There was nothing he couldn’t do, so Wolfgang readily promised.
“Okay. When Alicia is healed, I’ll take you to the nicest restaurant in the Empire. I’ll blow your stomach up, Scarlett.”
“What, what! Are you inflating your stomach…? There’s really nothing I can’t say! It’s done, so get out of here!”
But did the last words stimulate the sensitive sensibility unique to a woman?
When Scarlett, whose face was as red as a ripe tomato, tried to send him away, making all sorts of fuss, Wolfgang had no choice but to leave the mage tower as if he were running away.
“Oh, that’s amazing! Lord of the Tower!”
“…Noisy.”
On the outside, it looks like he properly chastised and kicked out the rugged man who had invaded the Mage Tower without fail.
Upon seeing her appearance, all the wizards and rosary lords of her Blaze Mage Tower raised their voices and praised her.
“Is he inflating my belly?”
Scarlett, who went straight back to her room, ignoring their fuss, muttered to herself for a long while, stroking her smooth belly.
“How far…?”
