Chapter 392 – Chapter 392 Magic School Shutra (3-3)
“Now, the two of us are alone.”
“….”
I couldn’t tell exactly what expression I was making.
But what is certain is that there is a high possibility that he is wearing a disappointed expression?
The dean started looking inside the carriage with a smile, whether he knew my feelings or not.
“The world has gotten really good. Money can buy safety and other people’s time….”
“Isn’t that no different from the past?”
Even just looking at the Strata, it seemed far away from the Middle Ages I knew.
With money, people are hired, goods are bought, and life is being made.
Even though you have to gain the trust of a great being to enter that stra….
I was even told that Strata is the only city that can use all the currencies produced in most countries.
He was a nobleman who created such a great city, but that was the story of the present.
“When I was traveling around the world, currency was a national asset, and it was impossible for individuals to accumulate their own wealth.”
“Five….”
The dean began talking happily about the world as it was in the past.
It was mostly about war, but it caught my interest.
The surroundings were also good, so the story itself was fun.
He talked a lot, and he sighed and smiled bitterly.
“Sometimes, when I talk to the professors, some of my friends don’t understand. I heard about inefficiency and abnormal stories. Do you think so too?”
“Please. I understand.”
“Ohh….”
I couldn’t understand it, but I didn’t have to understand it.
The world always changes.
It is right to understand and evaluate civilization as self-centered.
However, criticizing and blaming it with self-centeredness is no different from proving its savagery.
It’s no different than feeling superior when I read a book about the lives of people in the Joseon Dynasty.
“After all, the present you are enjoying now will eventually be evaluated by future descendants.”
“Like….”
The dean listened to me and nodded his head.
“Those who travel through space are different, but they are very different.”
Haha….”
What would your face look like if I told you that you were traveling the universe and flirting with women? That’s kind of curious
However, I was curious about what I was curious about, and it was time to get to the main topic.
“What business do you have?”
It was my turn to ask what had broken my imagination that Luna and I would be spending quality time together.
The conversation with the dean was interesting.
However, even such fun was far short of the level of compensation that broke my expectations.
Give me Luna….
The dean, who was looking at me, smiled happily and opened his mouth.
“Looks like I’ve been too intrusive. Sorry.”
“Until the interruption….”
It could be said that it was an obstruction beyond obstruction.
But saying that would make me a petty person, so I subtly let go of my legs.
As far as disturbing… No, but you ruined my mood! In a way….
[Why don’t you open your mind a little? You can meet Luna anytime.]
‘Huh!’
[After….]
First of all, my mood comes first!
I waited for the dean’s next words while listening to Armonia’s sigh as if she were looking at her immature younger brother.
The dean smiled bitterly and then started talking about the main topic.
“Did you enjoy this trip?”
“… ?”
The words are strange.
To say it was a trip, it hadn’t even been 5 hours since we left Strata.
By the way, are you suggesting that you recite your impressions of the trip already?
However, I could understand the dean’s next words.
“Looks like you’ve been busy for about a month this time. Did you enjoy the other world?”
“Ah….”
It was only a few hours that I had been away from Stra, but the dean separated the time by the sense of alienation he felt from me.
Then, it means that whenever I was away, I also knew how much I was away.
‘It’s a monster, a monster….’
But it didn’t matter too much.
I had to know the intention of asking me that question.
“A lot of things happened.”
“Heh heh heh… I’m glad I could see you again.”
“….”
The dean has been asking me secretly.
To kill yourself….
It was a fact neither the Zodiac nor Armonia knew about.
The dean is not in a hurry, but he will be anxious.
Because Nara is thinking that an unknown being might be the only person willing to take her own life.
The next possibility is Louis….
The dean is a person who could turn into an enemy and side with Lewis if I fail to kill him.
I had to find a way to kill him somehow while I was in Stra.
What… Because there is still plenty of time.
The dean was also anxious, probably not in a hurry.
Can a nobleman who lived for 500 years not wait for another 3 years? .
As I pondered in silence, he began to open his mouth with a hearty smile, as if he had read my thoughts.
“While I am in Shutra, if there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best to help. Just say something.”
I could now grasp the intent of the conversation.
It meant not to suffer alone and to ask for help if needed.
‘Help… Ah!’
Come to think of it, out of all the people I know, the dean is the most knowledgeable about magic circles.
If he didn’t know about the magic circle, he wouldn’t be able to find a solution anywhere in the universe.
That’s it….
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Ohh. I didn’t know you could bite it so quickly.”
The dean put in a slightly playful voice, but immediately nodded his head.
“What request?”
I started drawing a magic circle in the air of the wagon using my magic circle bracelet.
If you think about it, the guy who pops out in 0.1 second, it took a while to draw with his fingers.
While I was drawing the magic circle, the dean started looking at the magic circle with a serious smile, gradually narrowing his eyes.
I finished the magic circle and carefully opened my mouth.
“This magic circle… Can you put it together properly?”
The magic circle I showed you was a random magic trap created by the consulate.
The smile disappeared from the dean’s face.
From the outside, you might think it’s because of ‘me’ who drew the strange magic circle, but… It wasn’t.
“… That’s amazing.”
The dean was simply amazed at the ‘unfamiliar magic circle’ I drew.
“Knowledge born as a foundation in one world is only valid in that world. There may be some common denominator, but that only happens if the categories are universal.”
The magic circle was the unique knowledge of this continent.
He said that it was not usually difficult to blend such knowledge with knowledge from the outside world.
Especially if it’s special knowledge like a magic circle….
How many years… No, he explained that a magic circle is something that has been researched for more than a few decades and more than a hundred years.
However, I mixed that knowledge and in a short period of time, simply created another knowledge perfectly.
The dean continued to explain while carefully watching my magic circle.
“Looking at this magic circle… Probably not available in our world. It’s not using mana, it’s using other energy sources…. I don’t know the exact identity.”
No matter how genius he was, he had never seen the existence of magic, so he could only abstractly understand its existence through the magic circle.
I went to the main point in such a dean and asked a question.
“It can not?”
“….”
The dean looked intently at him, then opened his mouth.
“It’s possible. No….”
“… ?”
“I will make it happen.”
The dean was not showing the laid-back expression he had shown so far, but was showing a high-spirited look.
“I think a day or two is not enough. It will take at least a week or more.”
“It is not a matter of tight time.”
“Then….”
The dean responded with a voice full of enthusiasm that he hadn’t heard before, and then began to stare at my magic circle.
“After a long time, I will try to feel the feeling of a student taking an exam.”
After that, the dean stared intently at the magic circle I had drawn, but didn’t say anything.
It was to focus.
‘I hope it goes well.’
[The dean is someone who has mastered the magic circle. It will probably give you good results.]
‘I wish that would happen. Margie Trap… It’s good, but the downside is too big.’
What I asked the dean was the separation of the Magi trap.
Magi Trap was a magic circle that could only be used in dungeons with poisonous air.
Obviously, the magic circle itself could be useful.
However, such a useful magic circle also had a fatal flaw.
Just randomness.
‘If only I could take apart all the magic circles in Magi’s trap and reassemble them….’
[The dungeon on the side of the consulate will be the domain of Suho.]
That’s right, if a bastard like Cho Kang-hyeon is in the dungeon, that place will become my tomb like the Pharaoh of the Pyramid.
But at least if the gangsters we met last time show up in groups, we should be able to solve it easily.
‘Let’s stay quiet for now.’
With that thought in mind, I started doing the important chores I was about to do.
I closed my eyes and started to sleep.
..
..
The coachmen arrived at the village and began carrying out their duties.
A coachman in charge of accommodation for customers, a coachman in charge of grooming horses, and a coachman in charge of managing carriages.
Among them, the coachman who was in charge of the most difficult job was….
“Uh, what should I do?”
It was the coachman who was our guide.
The dean’s concentration didn’t stop until he reached the village.
No, it didn’t stop even after arriving.
He didn’t get off the wagon and was concentrating on reassembling the magic circle I asked for.
The problem was that his concentration was so deep that he didn’t even think about getting off the carriage.
It wasn’t just the coachman who was in trouble.
So did the rest of the party, Sonya and Carl, Luna and Louise.
Seeing the dean’s concentration, it seemed that he couldn’t be disturbed easily.
‘I’ll have to step in…’ .’
I am responsible for creating this situation. It also meant that it was homework that I had to solve.
I called the dean, who was concentrating in the carriage.
“Dean.”
“!?”
I just called, but the coachman was startled and started to tremble.
I decided to call them elites, fanatics, and now cowards.
I looked at the dean without paying attention to the poor coachman.
“….”
It was as if I couldn’t hear my voice because I was concentrating.
I finally shook my head and started shaking the dean’s shoulder.
Shake, shake….
“Su, Suho!?”
“Kuhh!?”
The coachman let out a desperate voice as if his lifespan was over, and the rest of the members next to him started looking at me in surprise.
In particular, it was Luna who had the most surprised expression.
Rather than surprised, he looked genuinely concerned.
I shook the dean’s shoulder and called him, regardless of Luna’s appearance.
“Dean! Wake up!”
“Yes?”
The dean barely came to his senses at the sound of my voice ringing in his head as his body shook, and he began to look around.
Luna and the others were looking at the dean with a stiff expression.
The dean looked around for a while and then looked at me and asked.
“Here… ?”
“We have arrived at the village.”
“Aha….”
The dean started to get off the carriage with a puzzled look on his face.
After getting off the carriage, the dean looked at me and said,
“The problem you gave me… It’s really hard. However, I was able to fill it with pleasant thoughts for the first time in a long time.”
Haha….”
“I’ll have to solve some more problems, so I’d like to go home early.”
“I-I will serve you!”
The coachman who was in charge of the guide started taking the dean to the inn.
The place where the coachman and dean disappeared.
Silence passed.
But silence is silence, but all eyes were fixed on me.
I sighed inwardly as I felt the other people’s silent stares.
‘Are you trying to help? Are you trying to bother me….’
[….]
After that, I ended up having to be baptized with questions throughout the meal, not only by Luna, but also by Sonya and Carl.
Except for Luis, who is grinding his teeth….
