Chapter 406
Episode 406: I’m Here (1)
[Almost arrived.]
I pulled the rope (ratel) I was holding while looking at the wall in the distance and the desolate land beyond. Sigh! Following the set trigger, the pulley (ratel) made above retrieved the rope and pulled my body up.
Squirt!
The body that was quickly pulled into the air was lifted higher than Suzaku’s body by inertia. Of course, soon the body, caught by gravity, falls downward in a parabola according to my intention.
The hem of the thick cloak spread out with a heavy, long fluttering sound, then sank again.
“Have you finished sightseeing?”
“okay.”
widely. I stepped on the pulley and took another light leap. Tuk. The basket that was always there accepted me.
“Nari… aren’t you scared? The moment you let go of the rope, you fall…”
“Not really. “If not at a time like this, when would you try it?”
Feel the wind at hundreds of meters in the air while relying on a rope and a scaffold attached to the rope.
Whether it’s because of money or physical ability, it’s something I’ll never be able to do on Earth. I think it would be good to stay here and experience at least once what it means to have a body that transcends humans.
“Lord… didn’t you clearly say that a world without war is your home?”
“It did.”
“But looking at what you’re doing, it looks like you’ve been fighting on the battlefield for decades… Or is this just everyday life there?”
Oh, I was surprised because I was so calm about something like this. I furrowed my brows vaguely at Daniel’s words.
“Not really. Even there, this was an act that was called a suicidal act.”
“Then why sir?”
“…It’s fun.”
Thanks to extreme sports such as bungee jumping and virtual reality games, we have become accustomed to these rare shows.
Of course, I also refrained from saying anything about that part. I was worried that they would feel deprived if they found out that the work they had to do to survive was being consumed as entertainment in their hometown.
“Can I try it before I retrieve the adventurer?”
“hmm? It doesn’t matter to me, but…”
Meanwhile, Berserk came to me with a request. It wasn’t a difficult request to grant since it was before Ratel was recovered. Was Berserk just someone who would go to this length to enjoy the scenery? I just have a question.
“…But why is the girl hanging?”
“He said he was curious about the scenery you saw.”
…no wonder! A person who values inconveniences more than scenery made this request!
I realized that my interpretation was not wrong, but that there was just another variable involved, and I tied the string connected to the pulley. Should I give this away or not? I did it and now I’m saying I can’t do it because it’s dangerous, so my worries have become more intense.
“…be careful.”
Well, it’s okay since Berserk does it for her, rather than the girl herself holding on to the rope. The two are tightly connected with cloth and string.
“thanks.”
After some struggling, I gave up the rope. Berserk calmly expressed his gratitude and bungee jumped with the girl on his back. “Kyaaaah!” The girl’s screams, full of joy, echoed cheerfully throughout the place.
“Huh?”
Then, the Inquisitor who was nearby caught a glimpse of those who had fallen with envious eyes. I think he wants to try it too. I’ll have to lend it to you when I get back.
“Sometimes I don’t know how these people think.”
“Ignorant bastards….
” “
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugugu
themselves, the four of us, however, cleared their throats as we discussed the tastes of the four of us.
Why what why? I looked at the Inquisitor with envy in his eyes and then patted his head as he flinched again at the reactions of the others. It may be true that we are unusual, but this is a matter of romance. I don’t think anyone should say anything.
[Slowly going down.]
Anyway. Thanks to Berserk who came up at the right time, even the Inquisitor had a perfect view of the sky. We arrived in Lineiro, a city on the front line.
The wizard who created an unbreakable barrier by distorting time continues to the city of purple snakes.
“It’s been a long time since the three great sages gathered in one place. “Although it was not a very good meeting.”
We had a brief conversation with Archbishop Seongjuna, who came out to welcome us, and handed over the white crow. In the process, the one who suddenly intervened was the magic tower owner, the Purple Snake, who came out to represent Lineiro’s magic tower.
“That’s right. “It’s been a while since we’ve had more than three of us face-to-face rather than talking through magic.”
“Because we’ve never had the three of us stand together in one place before.”
The purple serpent was a member of the Qureity tribe with scales growing all over its skin. The nickname Borabaem may have come from his fashion style, as most of his clothes are purple.
“I wonder if it can be said that something like this has come together.”
Separately, he stared at the captured crow with a cold expression, as if he had no great regrets toward the white crow. After a long flight, the crow is being dragged away unconscious, with the extremities of its limbs frozen.
“I prepared a room for you.”
When the white crow was kicked out of the venue, the purple snake clapped once as if to cheer itself up. Everyone’s eyes and attention were focused on him.
[Oh.]
“I tried my best, but a time multiplier of 1.5x was the best. “I’m sorry.”
[That’s enough. Thank you for your hard work.]
“It’s an honor.”
He guided us to the magic tower in a prepared carriage. Of course, I thought we would rest in an inn or a temple, but it seems that the magic tower will surprisingly become our resting place.
Purr.
Meanwhile, Frederick came running along next to the carriage, as if the ground he had walked on in one day was good. When he became the leader of the other horses, the rest followed him like subordinates.
“Is there a place where the magic tower horses can run?”
Even if you are in a good mood, after about an hour you will get upset and throw a tantrum. You must be feeling tired from standing still on Suzaku’s back lately.
“There is no dedicated section, but the training area is quite large. “Let me rent that place.”
“I want to say thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
I guessed Frederick’s temperament in advance and tried to find a solution. It was best for me to vent my anger before the worthless stable keeper was harmed.
“We have arrived. “Please pass the horse over here.”
“Ah Frederick. “I’ll be there in 30 minutes, so please stay and don’t crush anyone.”
I wish you would please do so. I offered blueberries and apples to Frederick and prayed for him. Seeing how bright his eyes were until the end, I think we should go meet him within 20 minutes, not 30.
“If that guy goes on a rampage, just give up and run away. “I will never blame him if he gets hurt or breaks something in the process.”
He seems to have a worse temper than a meister. I changed the target of my request to the stable keeper and joined the group already standing at the entrance.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
Daniel and the Inquisitor, who had sensed Frederick’s temper, laughed hollowly.
“Then shall we go in? “This way.”
With a single wave of his hand, the person opened the huge gate and led us inside. Is it a time zone issue or a difference in personality? There is not a single person coming or going in the entrance hall.
“The magic tower here is very big.”
“It happened that way due to the nature of the magic being handled.”
It didn’t look that big when I saw it from the outside. My eyes turned to the wall imbued with magic. Seeing as the Meister looks in the same direction as me, I think there must be something to this.
Sigh.
In the meantime, our steps reached the end of the long hallway, a door that was smaller than the entrance but was also on the larger axis. The door, which recognized us as if it were an automatic door, opened on both sides, revealing a circular hall inside.
“Wow….”
“It’s pretty!”
The floor height is approximately 20m, and the planetarium descends from the ceiling, engraving the orbits of constellations everywhere. At that gorgeous sight, the Inquisitor opened his mouth and the girl jumped up and down. Deathbringer also seemed quite surprised as he silently raised his ears and pursed his mouth.
“It’s beautiful.”
“Hey. “The money is flowing.”
“yes?”
“How much money does it cost to install a magic device like this?”
However, in the middle of this gorgeous hall, there was something that looked like a box about two pyeong wide. It is a box that has no windows but has a door, so it looks like it is possible to get in and out of it.
Although the ceiling is low, people taller than Daniel will have to lower their heads.
“This is the place.”
But the purple snake’s steps stopped in front of him.
“It may be shabby for you to use, but I hope you will be lenient.”
[Even if it’s okay. Then I go in.]
“Yes.”
Suzaku opened the small door and rushed inside. In the process, the room that is reflected at first glance is quite gorgeous, putting it to shame that it is shabby. It seems that the shabbiness he spoke of is limited compared to what Suzaku would have enjoyed elsewhere.
thud.
As soon as Suzaku entered the room, Bora Bam closed the door. match. His hands clapped together, creating a wave of magical energy.
“Is it a space distortion mediated by celestial bodies?”
“crazy. “How does this work?”
“It is most efficient to use space to manipulate actual time.”
The magical power generated by the purple snake resonated with the planetarium floating in the air, creating a visible flow. Slurp. The magic power concentrated in the sphere of the planetarium fell and began to flow along the outside of the box.
“This is fucking crazy.”
Everyone was amazed at the sight, but Meister was particularly shocked. The person holding his glasses quickly glanced at the exterior of the box.
“…Did you really have to choose such a vulgar word for a scene like this?”
“Shut up, space is distorting right now.”
The outside of the box began to be covered with strange letters made of magical energy. At the same time, the box became slightly transparent. It is as if you are looking at it through a crystal of a polyhedron. It’s bizarre.
“…is the main principle to change the flow of time by separating space and then touching the time of the separated space?”
“Exactly. “I know this type of magic is not your specialty, but you are Cheongsanho’s grandson.”
“How is this…”
“If you’re interested, it would be nice to study here for a few years. “In space-time magic, excellent calculation ability and innate intuition take precedence over the presence or absence of magical power.”
…I think I’ve seen a brief glimpse of a professor spouting flirtatious words to get a new slave, or rather, a new graduate student. Is it because of my mood?
“More than that, I have prepared a room for you to use. “It doesn’t have as much distortion as Suzaku uses, but you will be able to take a longer break.”
I stared for a moment at the purple snake that had thrown the scouting offer like water, and then turned my head back to the box.
I think I have a general idea of the flow of magical power that divides space, but I can’t sense the distortion inside. As expected, wizards may seem crazy, but they are just as amazing. An indescribable admiration briefly dominated my mind.
“I have prepared two rooms as you requested earlier. “When you pass the gold mark, the passage of time becomes 1.1 times faster, and you may feel shaky the first time you pass, so please be careful.”
“Thank you, Magic Tower Lord.”
“I was wondering why our rest was guaranteed at the Magic Tower instead of the temple… and it turned out to be because of this.”
“It would be good to take a long break now that we don’t know what kind of situation will arise.”
And the Archmage entered the room first, as if he knew that things would turn out this way. The magic power pattern engraved like a threshold suddenly glowed, and the Archmage’s walking speed slightly increased.
“Where…”
After that, the Inquisitor and the girl with a curious look followed in, and Berserk and Commandment also entered there.
“Are we this way?”
“Uh, so we’re all sharing this?”
“Because messing with time is a bit tricky. “We don’t have enough time to prepare for solitary confinement.”
“I’m fine, but Na-ri…”
On the other hand, as I was about to enter another room, I stopped for a moment when I caught the Deathbringer’s gaze. Ah, now that I think about it, I’ve only used solitary confinement for quite some time. It was always like that when I stayed in the village.
“Okay.”
“Are you really okay?”
“If it wasn’t okay, I would have given up on being homeless.”
It’s okay, it’s okay. I patted the Deathbringer on the shoulder and bowed lightly to the magic tower lord.
“Thank you for your consideration. I will rest in peace.”
The purple snake just shrugged its shoulders.
