Chapter 87 – Aquarius(4)
“As a result of checking the physical characteristics of Karlin’s family, the body of the wizard was found to be Karlin. Currently, a mercenary wizard is wanted. His name her is Amber. The age on record is 23 years old. His specialty is her magic using fire. No see.”
“Yes. Please.”
My prediction was correct. Karlin had already been turned into her corpse her in her own room her, along with her mercenaries and priests her. Her real culprit her was already fleeing the scene. Wizard Ember. I was suffering from an unpleasant feeling.
I couldn’t figure out where it came from. At the point where I want an investigator in the Southern Mercenary Guild? Perhaps Evangeline noticed my behavior at the time I inquired about related issues with the Magic Tower and the Mayor of Aberdeen. What mattered was that. That Evangeline was making fun of me.
If she tried to hide her identity of her, she would just run away. She already knew what I was researching and where she was researching. Besides, it was a way of research that went wrong from the beginning, so it was enough to ignore it.
However, this crazy bitch took the name of the wizard Amber, entered the mercenary group I directed the search for, and committed an atrocity to annihilate the mercenary group and the priests. This was a definite provocation. There was no law of destruction. This wizard Amber also did not know whether it was Evangeline’s real identity her or the identity her disguised she after killing another mercenary wizard.
“Why did you wear a mask if you could fucking transform?”
The part I really didn’t understand was this. If you could completely disguise yourself as a different mercenary wizard, why did you wear a mask? Is it a concept? The person in charge explained the wizard Amber’s impression perfectly. In other words, the wizard Amber was not Evangeline herself, or Amber’s impression of her was not Evangeline’s bare face of her.
The Mercenary Guild had been commissioned to investigate the wizard Amber. Right now, even the mercenary guild must be on fire. The mercenary I trusted committed mass murder in the Mage Tower.
Of course, the mercenary guild’s troubles were better than my money going out, so I asked the mercenary guild for negligence in the mercenary management responsibility and asked for funeral expenses and compensation for the priests and mercenaries.
“Couldn’t he be Evangeline’s cousin?”
The person in charge raised the rumor once again. It was still a plausible story, so I withheld judgment. Everything was to be decided after catching Amber. I sat down on a chair next to the magic corpse and let go of my anger. I felt like I was being played by Evangeline, so it was unpleasant.
A large bat placed in the center of the magic tower caught my gaze. That huge bat that didn’t fit in the mage tower was a bat that the creators of this game had installed for rice cakes, saying they would add an event boss later. I couldn’t beat that boss because I came into this world before the DLC came out.
Roughly speaking, it was an artifact found underground, but its purpose was unclear, so it was set to hang it in the center of the mage tower city for decoration.
The person in charge was running from the direction of the bat. His face His was white from being caught up in a series of twists and turns. There was steam in his thick glasses. He came running to me sitting there.
“As a result of checking the tower’s surveillance barrier, there was no trace of using teleport or other movement magic in the direction of the city.”
“Can you confirm that?”
“Anyway, there are quite a few wizards who teleport back and forth, so there is a barrier in the sky that detects the traces of that magic.”
The person in charge said that no matter how great a wizard Evangeline is, if she teleports out of the tower, traces will remain. If that statement is true, the sorceress Amber escaped by teleporting out of the scene, and then moved on foot…
“Then, are there any signs of moving on foot?”
“I confirmed that a suspicious-looking wizard is heading in the direction of the Dwarf Kingdom.”
It seemed that there was nothing that the mage tower’s magic could not do. I frowned as I looked towards the Dwarf Kingdom. It was because I hated the city and didn’t want to go there. Mountains full of holes like cheese and round flat houses, I let out a sigh.
Priest Elson seemed to want to leave now. In principle, I, too, should follow Father Elson’s funeral. However, on the other hand, it could be necessary to pursue Evangeline and inquire about her activities in the Dwarven Kingdom. I had to decide between the two.
“Rather than me, an outsider, investigating, the Mage Tower will be in charge of the investigation. I will delegate this part to the Mage Tower.”
There were no pretty girls among the dwarf puppies, and it had already been a kingdom a long time since either Evangeline or Amber fled to the dwarf. Even if he ran, it would have already been time to pass through the Dwarf Kingdom, and even if he went to the Dwarf Kingdom, he did not think he would find any special evidence.
“Then, Father Elson, let us set off to officiate the funeral.”
The person in charge informed me that I would pass on my words to the superior. Since it was a sensitive issue from the Mage Tower’s point of view, they would have put all their efforts into the investigation itself. I didn’t expect to have any income in the dwarven kingdom, but I said good luck for now.
“It is an unfortunate incident.”
We roughly collected the corpses of the mercenaries and priests and put them on the wagon. Now, the only thing left is to hand over the body to each family member. Priest Elson said as he looked at the corpses. It was an incident in which several priests were killed by a magician. From the point of view of Priest Elson, who has been a priest for many years, it would be no different than the death of his family.
“We have to catch Evangeline quickly so this tragedy will end.”
I said. These words were sincere. You have to kill Evangeline. But there was no way. Even though I said the solution, I felt frustrated myself. It’s easy to talk about a solution, but it’s very difficult to put it into practice. Priest Elson looked at me slowly and nodded his head. It meant it was ready. I climbed back into the wagon with Priest Elson.
The short visit to the Magic Tower was over. Priest Elson held out a document with the priests’ hometowns written on them. While checking the list, I asked Priest Elson.
“Are there any other funeral arrangements for priests? I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake because I’m not familiar with the process of officiating a priest’s funeral.”
“I’ll let you know from the side.”
At a glance, there were no priests from our territory, and there were about two priests from the Amur territory. It was said that it was very difficult these days, but it was clear that it was more difficult because two priests who were most needed for the work of the poor died.
“First, I’ll go to the nearest Errieta estate.”
Priest Elson said so, showing his map his. One of the priests said he was from this place. The mercenaries planned to hand over the body to the mercenary guild as soon as they stopped by the Errieta estate. The Errieta estate was famous as a granary in the south. From the beginning of the manor, a vast wheat field was welcoming us, as if it were a meadow.
Whenever the wind blew, the wheat fields swayed here and there like a wave was truly spectacular. I was whistling and admiring the scenery. Priest Elson frowned and fidgeted with the necklace, as if he didn’t like the way I looked.
A wide field of wheat stretched all the way to the front of the church. It was enormous compared to our territory, and I was curious about the taxes the people here paid. Priest Elson had the priests’ faces checked at the church, and began preparations for the funeral by appointing a priest from Erieta.
Since this preparation process took quite a long time, I suggested to Priest Elson.
“It seems to take quite a bit of time to prepare, but I will take the workers and hand over the mercenary corpse to the mercenary guild.”
“I’d appreciate it if you would.”
In fact, when he became the head priest, he had nothing to do in the process of preparing for the funeral. Because I was definitely the head of the Southern Archaeological Church. Chores such as moving the coffin or setting up candles were not for me.
However, if I was watching from the side, it was obvious that other priests and believers would feel burdened. Even now, I could see the believers sweating profusely and stiffening up for fear of making a mistake while preparing for the funeral.
Because of this, even Father Elson agreed to separate me a little before the full-scale funeral. I wasn’t too fond of seeing priests preparing funerals.
I called a few workers and headed to the mercenary guild. The mercenary guild in the Errieta Territory boasted the largest scale in the south. Roughly, if the bodies were handed over here, the bodies would be delivered within a few days, assuming that the mercenaries’ families were in the south.
Fortunately, the Mercenary Guild and the Daecheonsingyo Church were quite close. It was obviously built this way for convenience, as mercenaries often get help from priests. After walking a few steps, we were able to check the Mercenary Guild building.
The mercenary guild building I actually saw was giving the impression of a luxurious inn. In terms of the game, it was a building similar to a bar, but the real Mercenary Guild had a much more antique and elegant feel. The people standing at the gate of the Mercenary Guild backed away, started at the sight of me bringing the corpses into the cart. I said.
“I’m here to take over the bodies of the mercenaries who participated in the Mage Tower dispatch request.”
At that, the mercenaries from the mercenary guild rushed out to see the body. Apparently, since they bet a large amount on this case, it seems that the mercenaries who participated were also human beings. Celebrities died, so it was worth coming to see them. But there was no time for that now. The moment I raised my voice to defeat the mercenaries, I heard a drowsy female voice from somewhere.
“What- why are you here? Did I come to meet you?”
I turned my head to where the voice came from. Eyes with deep dark circles, long pink hair, tall height that looks over 180, and breasts that are not full enough to burst. A cane to control the smirking face and staggering body.
I knew who this wizard was. The mercenaries also seemed to know the magician’s identity. As soon as she appeared, everyone scattered in all directions.
“It’s a fucking crazy bitch. Let’s get rid of it.”
“Hey, hey, hurry up, run away!”
The mercenaries disappeared like the soldiers who found a sergeant in a bad mood. Wandering Wizard Soya. There are only two wizards among the original heroines. The woman was in front of me now.
