Chapter 120 – 28. Capital of the Empire. (4)
The Red Mage Elena went to the Magic Guild with the blind Saint Odnun.
… So-To be honest, it’s only a horse guild, it’s like a comprehensive magic shop. Wizards of all kinds were very frantic to sell potions, items, or spellbooks made using their skills, soliciting customers like merchants.
A sight that couldn’t help but be a little disappointing to Elena, who imagined her as an old-fashioned academy. However, the spectacle was clear.
Among them, what I’m particularly interested in is the overwhelming amount of magic books!
Of course, most of the books are useless, but if you choose well, you can find old books that are helpful enough.
With such an expectation, she began to carefully examine each of her books.
As much as the enormous amount, the magic books were also overflowing with all kinds of things. There was even a pact with the devil. … Of course, Elena, who has witnessed the miserable end of warlocks countless times, she was very afraid of black magic and did not even come near them.
Tired of waiting, the blind saintess went to look at the treasures for a while, and the magician, who was looking through countless magic books, came across a book by chance. …… No, to put it more accurately, I would say that the hand went that way by itself. As if drawn by fate.
– Source magic.
That’s the title of the book. Of course, Elena had never heard of source magic before. She couldn’t help but think that this was a strange magic that an eccentric wizard had devoted her life to studying.
She did, but once she pulled out the book, she did read the contents.
However, her first impression, which she thought was a strange magic, changed the more she read. Surprisingly, the content of the book is theoretically solid.
All materials in the world have a source, and mana is the energy that has been filtered out of that source once. Therefore, before filtering, using the very source of mana itself was the core of her self-study.
And it was specified that this book describes how to realize the source of that mana and how to use it.
It was a pretty interesting book. In the first place, she did not even know that it was the source of mana. To be honest, even magicians are ignorant of other types of magic, to the level of ordinary people. …… Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that this is also a drug sale, but even so, we have to make a profit.
Of course, she couldn’t read all of her books on this spot, so she covered her spellbook again and held it in her arms. I was a little worried about whether there would be any results today, but it was fortunate that I was getting something.
The sucker paid for the book and joined the blind saintess who was pacing in front of the jewelry store as if in awe. The two of them wandered around the magic guild for a while longer, then came out and put their butts on the bench in front of the fountain.
The sky was so blue that it made my eyes hurt, and the air was warm like a cozy blanket.
Peaceful enough to make you smile. …… Elena imagined how much better it would have been if she had Mr. Allen by her side at this moment, and she was happy for a moment.
The energy that comes out when people are happy was passed on to the blind saintess.
However, since the two of them have been together for a long time, they have become quite friendly now. Sometimes even private conversations.
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
“I guess it’s because it’s the peace I feel after a long time.”
Even the blind saintess put her hands together like a devout believer for the first time in a while and prayed. To the Holy Spirit who bestowed this peace.
Seeing that, Elena’s heart softened even more. …… Then she suddenly remembered her usual stomachache, and she let out another small sigh.
Instead of a bright energy, a dark energy flowed out, and Odnun asked Elena if she was worried about anything.
“… No, no worries.”
“Ah, that’s not it. … Tell me it’s okay.”
A bit hesitant, the suckling wizard confided his concerns.
“Just… , I don’t think my skills are improving. The mercenary corps is growing day by day, but it seems like I’m the only one in place….”
“No place. How much help do we get from Elena?”
“No. Looking at it soberly, it’s not. …… Maybe, I might get kicked out.”
“Ah, someone is kicked out. …… If you really don’t like it, you can transfer on good terms, what.”
But Elena shook her head.
“…… I don’t want to go. I want to stay here.”
“Mercenaries, there is no need to stay in one place. Elena must have great dreams too. Isn’t it? …… Chii, no matter how much I like Danju Allen…….”
The blind saintess made a light joke to refresh her mood, but Elena said “Oh,” Her face reddened and her gaze wavered as if she was embarrassed.
She thought, she tried hard not to be seen, but she couldn’t fake the keen sense of her eyes either.
“…… T, tee, a lot, me…… ?”
…… Oh…… ?
He took it so seriously that even Odd Noon was taken aback for a moment. …… No way, I didn’t know the joke was real.
Still, the situation or atmosphere didn’t make it easy to dismiss it as a joke. Even if she doesn’t notice, she knows that much.
“Oh that… , I’m…… , Barely noticed. Maybe others don’t know… !”
“… Okay….”
“Don’t worry too much. If you work hard, you will definitely get better!”
“Thanks.”
Seeing Elena’s sad smile, Odd Noon felt strangely remorseful.
Certainly, upon reflection, Allen Danzu was an attractive man. To the extent that Elena’s crush is understandable.
But… !
…… I’m sorry about this Allen Danju loves me…… !
The blind saint admired her inwardly for her own ant-hell charm that even her big breasts couldn’t overcome.

Prophet Alloa.
As the youngest daughter of a baron, she was a gifted wizard prior to being a prophet. However, due to her frail body compared to her talent, she did not last long as a tough mercenary and retired from the mercenary corps before she could make a name for herself. So many people didn’t even know that she did her mercenary work.
Of course, as her existence as a husband’s wife is often expendable for union with other noble families, she also received numerous marriage proposals, but she refused them all because her fateful partner had not yet arrived. …… Then she stopped and passed the age of thirty.
Still, I managed to fill the boring days by making prophecies or studying magic.
Even if she saw the lives of others, she couldn’t see her own life, and sometimes it was frustrating. … She wondered if there really was a person of destiny.
Still, what’s the point of life? If you live and die like this, that’s all!
Of course, she wasn’t completely without her hobbies. In fact, watching other people’s lives is the best fun. When watching all kinds of people in groups, she sometimes felt like a god.
They go through hardships together with ups and downs, be happy together with happy times, praise when they do good things, and curse at them when they do bad things.
… As a result, he got the nickname of a prophet before he knew it.
Anyway. One day, she had a strange dream.
A dream of swallowing the bright and huge golden sun.
She woke up in surprise …… It’s a dream come true for anyone to see.
Since people sometimes dream of someone else’s conception dream, she assumed that someone around her was pregnant, and she didn’t think much of it.
…… And not long after, Yufi unnie came to visit.
She was the girl I hadn’t seen in years, but how she hadn’t changed at all from the first time I saw her.
“What’s the secret?”
“It’s innate, what?”
Of course, thanks to the ample amount of mana, Alloa also ages slowly. Even though it’s already over 30 lines, I still eat friends with 20-somethings!
“…… And, you, the prophecy was wrong. My disciple, you haven’t returned.”
Alloa pulled her brows together as if asking what that meant.
“Since my sister doesn’t know, but looking at it, my prophecy is not wrong. I! Big!”
“Tsk tsk, fortune tellers sell medicine.”
“I told you not to call me a fortune teller!”
Yuffie smiled crookedly as if teasing.
“…… Maybe a guy will come over later. I was told to come and see it once. Look and judge.”
“I don’t know. I’m going out of business now. A prophecy that doesn’t even fit, now I have to take down the sign, what.”
“Again. Anyway, I have a lot of heartache. …… Anyway, he’s a strange man. If you don’t see it, you won’t be hungry.”
Yuffie, well aware of the Prophet’s bizarre hobbies, seemed certain that her opponent would not reject her request.
Alloa, who is curious, also secretly became interested.
“…… What kind of guy are you?”
“I have. …… The man who deflected your prophecy.”
“No, because there is no such person!”
“Just take a look. Because stubbornness is filthy. My disciple will not be as good as you.”
“… Try not to, really!”
Alloa suddenly heard that this sister had gone senile, and she glanced lightly into her eyes.
…… And Yuffie stayed in her mansion for about two more days before she left for the holy kingdom.
The Prophet dealt with his empty mind and devoted himself to studying prophecy and magic again. After all, that’s the only thing you can do in the mansion.
After Yuffie left, several months passed. … To the point that I almost forgot everything about the man Yuffie had told me about.
And one day, someone from her came to visit her. Of course, she didn’t find it particularly special. For her prophet, so many come to her that they fall at her feet. Of course, most of her don’t even see her and are greeted at her doorstep.
However, if this person had a difference from them, it was that he mentioned Yuffie’s name.
The moment she heard those words, Alloa opened her eyes slightly.
“…… Who came?”
“I am Allen Danju of the mercenary corps.”
In response to the messenger’s answer, it was only then that it came to my mind belatedly.
… Her sister said someone would come, yea.
Of course, even then, she didn’t think much of it. … However, it was a little unexpected that the man named Allen who came to her room was a handsome man who was rarely seen.
This older sister also had a corner to reveal a little secretly. … Seriously, that’s embarrassing!
Alloa guessed in her mind that she might have chosen this man as the husband of the blind saint Odnun, a pupil of Yuffie’s sister and a nephew. So you’re asking me to take a look at your life.
“I came here with the introduction of Yuffie.”
“That’s right. Come and see me once….”
“Welcome. My sister and I have a special relationship. … Oh, do you know who I am?”
“Aren’t you the Prophet, Lady Alloa?”
“Right.”
“I was surprised to see that you are much more beautiful than rumors.”
Alloa smiled shyly. Whenever I hear that she is pretty, I feel good.
Then she quietly held out her hand as if to say hello. …… For greetings and quirky hobbies.
“Nice to meet you.”
Unaware, Allen grabbed it as it was to shake her hand.
Where can I see you once….
…… And at the same time, his distant life unfolding before his eyes…… !
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ아ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ.
In a moment of dizziness, she held her head and staggered.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Allen snatched up the staggering Alloa at once and helped him up.
“… Ah… !”
After a while, she came to her senses and looked up at him with surprised eyes.
One son, one daughter.
And, a happy family.
Alloa, the husband of destiny she had been waiting for,
It was the man right in front of me.
