Chapter 249 – Urella’s Way (1)
“…Thing! What an obscene body for a saint!”
“…”
I was speechless for a moment at Berlioz’s sudden rant.
I know better than anyone else that Lilith’s body is lewd.
To be honest, I sometimes get confused whether Lilith is a saint or a saint.
But no matter how true it is, isn’t that something you shouldn’t say in front of the person concerned?
“To…? What did you say just now?”
Fortunately, Lilith asked back with wide eyes as if she hadn’t heard.
“Kyakyakat! I’m sorry! The original girl made her mistake! Do what you haven’t heard! More than that, saintess, do you like mint chocolate?”
Contrary to appearances, Berlioz seems to have common sense.
Berlioz changed the topic instead of hurling abusive language once again.
Of course, the way she spoke was deeply awkward, but she was much better than talking about Lilith’s lean body of hers.
“… Mint chocolate? Yes! Do you like it?”
“Yes, I mean I like it!”
At Lilith’s lively reply, Berlioz rummaged through her pockets for a moment, then took out some of her candies her with a benevolent smile, like a grandmother looking at her granddaughter her.
“Come on, take it! Mint chocolate candy, a specialty of the Aslan Empire. It’s a long way to the imperial castle, so forget one by one along the way!”
“…”
Like mint chocolate chicken skewers and mint chocolate stir-fried noodles, what on earth is mincho in this world, has everyone gone crazy?
‘…And if it’s candy, it’s candy, if it’s mint chocolate, it’s mint chocolate, what else is mint chocolate candy?’
The outside was coated with melted sugar, so it seemed like it could be called candy, but the contents were plain grass to anyone’s eyes.
To be called candy, it was close to grass, and to be called grass, it had the form of candy.
Lilith gulped and said as I pondered the identity of grassy candy.
“…That’s why… The church…The church said…Don’t accept sweets from people you don’t know…”
Lilith, whose eyes are fixed on the candy, seems to want to eat it no matter who she sees it.
I don’t know why she wants to eat toothpaste-flavored candy, but out of respect for Lilith’s taste of her, I took the candy instead and popped it in my mouth.
“Well…! Use the witch!”
“If it’s like this, it’s not given to you by someone you don’t know, so it’s okay, right?”
“That’s right!! Also teacher! It was the perfect solution!!”
Lilith, whose cheeks were puffy like a squirrel full of acorns, bowed her head toward Berlioz.
“Thanks for the candy! It’s so delicious!”
“Kyakyakak! No big deal. I only brought this today because I heard the news in a hurry, but I’ll bring more next time!”
“Wow! Will you give it to me next time?”
“Okay! When we meet again, I’ll feed you something more delicious.”
Berlioz, who had been watching Lilith happily for a moment as she munched on the candy, patted Bianca on the shoulder and said,
“Then, disciple. Now that she has seen the face of the saintess, she will not go back to being the original woman.”
“Wait a minute, why is there a sex woman but not mine?”
“Tsk, didn’t Bonnyeo give her rice balls to you? And you must be old enough to buy candy on your own?”
“…Why? Why don’t you just make him your disciple instead of me?”
Seeing Bianca pout, Berlioz giggled and walked away.
“Under! Don’t be jealous Because the spirit law taught by the original woman is so valuable that it cannot be compared to anything like candy.”
“I’m not jealous! And when you say you’re going, you’ll be there! Go quickly!”
“Tsk tsk, I’ll go even if you don’t tell me. Disciple.”
“Go carefully!”
Looking at Berlioz’s back as he left, Lilith bowed once again.
With just a few candies, the wariness of strangers seemed to have completely disappeared.
‘…Because of this, the church must have told them not to accept candy.’
I shook my head.
She must have been chosen as a saint because she was that kind, but it’s a problem if people are too nice.
“…Ah! I forgot one thing.”
Then Berlioz abruptly turned behind her and she whispered to Lilith.
“Have a happy journey until the sunset with the sunlight on your ears.”
“…Eh?…That’s why!…Uh…Just like you left with a smile, come back with a smile and finally be at peace..?”
“…Ha, I haven’t forgotten this much.”
After that, Berlioz disappeared as if satisfied.
“Whoa…! He was a good person!”
“What a good person! He’s just a weirdo.”
“Is that so? You seem like a nice person when you give me something to eat.”
“… Are you a good person when you give something to eat?”
“Is it not it…?”
“…”
I agree with Bianca.
I don’t think she’s a bad person from the way she treats Bianca or Lilith, but it’s clear that she’s a weirdo.
“By the way, Lilith. What did you just mean? What did you say in your ear?”
“Ah, that! Um… So, it’s a greeting that was used in the early days of the Goddess Church! However, since it is actually a dead horse, few people in the church know about it except for the high priest level…”
No matter how stupid and foolish Lilith usually looks, in the Goddess Church, she is a saint whose position is second only to that of the Pope.
It’s not unusual for Lilith to know the old greetings of the Goddess Church, but…
“How does he know? Seeing as I don’t know my face His, I’m sure I’m not a member of the church, right?”
“…I know, right.”
I stared at the place where Berlioz had disappeared and frowned.
‘I’ve been busy for a while, and I didn’t pay much attention to Loreos’ introduction, but…’
Apparently, there was something about Berlioz that I didn’t know.
‘…After meeting the crown prince, I’m going to ask Lucia to investigate the background. …But before that, I need to reconcile with Lucia…’
When I think of Lucia, I suddenly feel depressed.
It was also the first time Lucia left without telling me, including playing ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’.
How angry he must have been that Lucia suddenly left.
‘I did neglect her Lucia a little…’
Even if it was unavoidable, how many times have I broken my promise to Lucia…
In a corner of my heart, I committed these actions with the thought that Lucia would understand.
‘…Haa…But I got a reply anyway.’
When I sent a letter saying that I was leaving for the imperial family in time for the crown prince’s coronation ceremony, I received a reply saying that Lucia would arrive at the same time.
It was fortunate that it did n’t mean that I did n’t want to see her face her at least twice.
‘If we meet this time, we should be really nice…’
With a short sigh, I raised my head and said as I climbed into the carriage.
“… Then shall we depart now?”
***
Urwat, a prestigious mage tower in the western part of the Empire.
Chirsano, the graduate student at Urwat, was in the middle of the day.
「Slash-Wind-Blade」
Of course, as a wizard, he used magic instead of using the body, but the work itself was labor itself, such as moving stones and trimming trees.
‘Why am I doing this! Is this the academy? If it was like this, I went to Carnea. Why come to Urwat!’
Chirsano chewed his lips with a dissatisfied face.
Unlike the academy where you learn practical magic and skills, isn’t the Mage Tower a place where people who seek pure magical knowledge gather?
“Ruler! Ruler! Move faster and faster! The client is expecting a lot! You must never fall behind the Ilbulla Magic Tower guys!”
“Yes, Professor! I will do my best!”
But what can I do?
The professor takes the initiative in laboring, but it is impossible for him to squeeze his boat.
“Parika hyung… Aren’t you feverish? We came to the Mage Tower to study, did we come to work?”
“…Uh, don’t take the heat. If I finish this job well, the professor said he would pass my graduation thesis…Hehe…Heh.”
“…”
At Parika’s reply, Cirsano shut his mouth and started trimming the tree.
Due to the vertical and closed nature of the Mage Tower, the professor is a god and invincible.
I did n’t want to be like Parika hyung, who was a graduate student for 10 years because he was hated by his advisor.
“Ruler! Then take a break for 5 minutes!”
A short break after working for such a long time.
Chir Sano wiped the sweat from his brow and looked around him.
‘Even so, the Mage Tower is amazing…’
It was hard to believe that a few days ago it was an empty field with nothing, this place already had the appearance of a city.
It’s not just about having a shape.
As soon as the building was completed, citizens moved in as if they had been waiting for it, and little by little it began to move as a city.
‘Who the hell is the client?’
The power of the mage tower was great enough to create a city in just a few days, but the reason the construction company couldn’t hire a mage tower was simple.
Wizards of the Mage Tower have strong pride.
Even if he received a request to earn operating funds, it would be something like magic tool manufacturing or enchantment, and it was impossible to do physical labor like this.
Still, being able to hire not one but four magic towers and use them as manpower offices meant one of the three.
The client is extremely wealthy.
The client is a person with great power.
The client is extremely rich and powerful.
After all, it was highly likely that it would be the last time he had worked this much.
‘…Just looking at that.’
Chirsano looked up and saw a tall building made of marble.
Where the hell do you think that’s an inn?
〈U.C♥R.C〉
The inn named is at best an inn that uses the latest technology and top-notch construction materials from the magic tower…
To be honest, it boasted more majesty than the magic tower of Urwat.
‘…The inside wasn’t a joke either.’
I almost fainted when I saw that the interior was plastered with ornaments worth a lump sum to buy a mansion in the capital.
Ding Ding Ding Ding—!
Then the bell rang out loud and someone shouted from the top of the bell tower.
“Call me at Q-12! Codename U.C. Is currently approaching the town! Estimated travel time 2 hours!”
At that moment, everyone jumped up from their seats.
Haven’t you listened deafly since you first started working on it?
‘…I’d rather die than make a mistake in front of U.C.’
It was then.
“JUMooooo aooooo in in like for in!
The professor, who usually spoke inaudibly during lectures, shouted in a tremendous voice to see where he got such strength.
“As of the current time, all personnel in the Mage Tower are ready for special operations! Got it!”
“All right!”
“Good night! There’s no way that’s the case, but a person who makes a mistake with U.C….”
As the professor’s words dragged on, Chirsano swallowed.
“Don’t think about graduating for at least 10 years! Got it!”
At the professor’s words, Chirsano barely swallowed the profanity that was about to come out.
As you would know if you’ve seen Farika hyung, that bastard really won’t make you graduate if he doesn’t graduate.
“What are you doing! Move quickly!”
“Yes! Professor!”
It was really dirty and despicable, but the moment I heard the professor’s cry, my body reacted first.
Because…
Chirusano, he was a graduate student at the Mage Tower.
