Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 38

After some time, Allen’s party moved quickly to Mount Nicaea.

The carriage could not move, so they had no choice but to move on foot.

‘What kind of quest is Julius going to do?’

Allen was currently on probation for two weeks.

To be precise, the apprentice knight edition who was in charge of the match, and the parties involved, Allen and Julius.

One trainee engineer took on the role of superintendent designed to prevent careless mistakes and accidental accidents, and as a result of that, a major accident could have occurred.

Father rarely showed anger and punished each of them.

‘I don’t know if it’s because he was fighting at will or because Julius, the possessor, almost died.’

So, Allen and Julius were in prison for two weeks in each annex.

Pan, who only got involved with him, was fully armed and received 500 hours of nighttime work and intensive training.

Allen borrowed this time and secretly left the mansion to take the elixir that Julius had obtained from the mountain behind.

To hide that he had moved, he blocked the entrance to the annex on the pretext of training, and to avoid being chased, he rode a shabby carriage and moved around the side road.

Now it’s time to taste the fruits.

“From here on, it diverges as described in the beginning.”

“All right. Confucius.”

“Do you have the map I gave you? Enelia and Linbell, the two of them, start in the southeast and go northwest. Can you do it?”

Enelia and Linbell responded vigorously with ambitious faces.

‘You seem to have calmed down now.’

Linbell had returned to the way Allen had normally seen.

“I will definitely do it.”

Take all the elixir he will get to the mountain behind El Round.

‘I want to see Julius’ bewildered expression later… .’

It would be difficult to see in person.

Allen felt a little regretful about that fact, and even imaginingly felt satisfied.

“Then, we’ll see you in six hours.”

“Confucius, I wish you good luck.”

“Yeah, Enelia, there’s nothing here that can harm you, but… , do not be vigilant.”

“Please don’t worry.”

“okay. Goes.”

Allen felt the two pairs of gazes on the back of his head and flew away.

There was not enough time to bring all the elixir on the mountain.

wide cavity.

Nine people were seated at a small round table in the center of the common area tiled with white marble.

And, there were a number of seats that would not be enough for hundreds of people to sit around it, encircling the round table like a grandstand of an opera.

However, the seats that would normally be mostly empty were filled with no empty seats, as if something had happened.

Even the powerful wizards such as the master of the giant mato, the head of a small school, etc., were enough people to be called middle-class wizards above the 4th rank.

noisily-

“Son, do you know why the emergency call was issued?”

“Well… , Wouldn’t it mean that a primitive corridor was opened somewhere else?”

“Hmm… , it seems? But if that was the case, would there be any reason to hide the reason for the summons until now?”

“So is it.”

Most of them do not even know that they were forcibly summoned.

They asked each other friendly wizards how to say hello, and guessed why they each issued the summons.

In the corner of the place, Francisca was struggling to endure boredom, with her huge robe pressed down.

‘I didn’t come here.’

Even if he lost one of the towers, he had no choice but to follow his grandfather because of his insistence that a wizard should obey his duty.

‘I finally found the person I heard from the prophecy.’

I’ve only seen one of them since I was a kid.

Because of that, my grandfather also became the exclusive wizard of the Reinhardt family at her request, and he himself worked tirelessly to become a wizard of the 4th rank.

After such a hard time, I finally found the protagonist of the prophecy.

‘Why have you been arrested in a place like this for a month?’

Francisca’s furious eyes met the young man sitting near the round table. She pressed her robe even deeper and hid herself.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to bear it myself.

“How long are you going to make me wait? Barden!”

Pardel, one of the only 7 Masters, the Master of Fire, turned his head to the Master of Light, who could be said to have ordered this meeting from the center of the Round Table and shouted.

“Yes, Barden. Isn’t it time to tell you now? If I sang it for no reason, it wouldn’t be fun~”

“No, that’s right. W, even research, everything was pushed back. Uh, how long do I have to wait, yo?”

After that, Skyina of the School of Change and Margol of the School of Alchemy opened their mouths.

After that, the wizards who were tired of waiting followed and started complaining to Barden.

“How long are you going to be silent? Barden!”

“Never forget that an emergency call must be accompanied by a good reason. Barden.”

“If you think that the first Magician of Light has a relationship with the first hero, so you are the same, you are wrong.”

“Respecting you has its limits. The lord.”

Barden, who had been quietly silent for a while, opened his mouth when he judged that the atmosphere was ripe enough.

“Yes, you are right.”

Cavity, which was noisy at his answer, turned rather quiet.

they are wizards.

Apart from the school they were familiar with, they were intellectuals with sufficient knowledge and composure.

“There must be a good reason for issuing an emergency call.”

“Knowing that, have you been silent until now? What a month! No, two more weeks have passed. There must be a reason for wasting that time.”

Fardel looked at Barden with harsh eyes, as if he had a violent personality.

“Yes, of course there was a good reason. A reason to issue an emergency summons while hiding the reason.”

Barden, however, did not blink an eye at Fardel’s threats and immediately nodded.

Fardel snorted once, then shut his mouth. Even if his personality is explosive, he is a wizard.

For good reason, he was ready to listen to Barden.

… It was a story when the reason was really ‘justice’.

“I think you all know who the first mage of light is.”

They nodded.

What was the reason for responding to the emergency summons even though no reason was given?

“He was one of the many teachers who taught the first warriors the knowledge of light, and he sacrificed his own life right before the fall of the ancient empire so that countless magic could not be cut off.”

It was because all of them respected, at least, outwardly, the first Master of Light.

It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why modern magic has developed so much is thanks to the first light magician.

If Fardel, who is famous for his violent personality, had issued an emergency summons, he would have been half of the number of people here.

Even if a quarter of the people came, it could be said that many came.

“Following his upkeep, our school deals with light, studies it, and explores what light is for life. There are a lot of artifacts associated with it.”

It was a fact that everyone knew, but no one stopped him.

Because he thought there must be a reason for bringing up that word.

“That’s why we are sensitive to the dark. To be precise, I am sensitive to ‘magi’.”

-thud!

Fardel got up from his seat without realizing it and looked at him.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Their brilliant brains had reached their conclusions even though he had not finished speaking.

“I detected Magi in two places on the continent a few months ago.”

When he finished speaking, many people stared at him in astonishment.

“… … !!”

“… … !!!”

Barden was not surprised because he expected their reaction. They just nailed it as if what they heard wasn’t a lie.

“Magi, which has disappeared since the first demon king was subjugated.”

A silent astonishment covered the cavity.

“The neck armor buried under the center of five paulownia trees… , found.”

Allen brushed off the dirt that had been sitting on the collar and opened the lid.

Inside the neck was a glass bottle of dark blue liquid wrapped in a soft cloth.

“What was the effect of this elixir?”

Allen opened the black book and the pages quickly turned to reveal what he was reading.

『──Julius followed the map he received as a quest reward… .』

“Not here.”

Turning a few more pages, Allen found what he was looking for.

『──Inside the necklace was the [Blue Meteor Shower (A)] elixir. This leap 57 years ago… .』

Skipping the details of the elixir, the information he wanted to know came out.

『——The effect of the elixir was simple. It absorbs the magic of the surrounding space into the body of the user, widens and stabilizes the magic circuit… . 』

“… Hmm, that wouldn’t work for me.”

For Allen, who had already been transformed into a giant, increasing the width of the magic circuit or the amount of magic was of no use.

“It would have been better if it was a kind that increased affinity or sensitivity… .”

But it is useless and cannot be left behind.

Just because you don’t need yourself doesn’t mean you don’t need others.

“Leave some to Linbell and Enelia, and keep the rest… .”

Just as Allen was about to put the necklace in his arms, he heard a voice.

「I found it! I found it! Hurray! What did I say! You said you’d find it!”

A high-pitched, arrogant voice.

When I turned my head, an old-fashioned sword was flying through the air.

“Vestla.”

“You said you could read maps! Why are you in doubt? are you looking for me? Apologize quickly! hurry!”

Allen smiled bitterly and opened her mouth.

“Yeah, sorry for doubting you.”

“Ahem! Be more careful next time! Who can’t read maps?”

Bestla trembled with her sword as if she was in a good mood at Allen’s apology and smiled happily. On the hilt of his sword, a map with the location of the elixir was fluttered hanging from his string.

After lingering around him for a while, her gaze turned to the black book.

“Are you looking at that book again? Isn’t it a blank sheet of paper? It seems to have something to do with it… .”

“… Well. I don’t know.”

“Hmm… . what happened I’m not that obsessive girl, so I won’t ask any more. Thank you, right?”

“Thank you so much for your consideration.”

Bestla could not read the contents of the book.

To be precise, he said that the contents of every book looked like blank paper with nothing written on it.

‘I can read the content, but I can’t read the title.’

But she can read the title but not the content.

Allen was not sure exactly what this meant, but it was clear that she had something to do with the Black Book.

‘I don’t know exactly what part it is.’

She said she didn’t know either, so she had no choice but to find out on her own.

Allen asked, naturally filling the hole he dug to find the necklace.

“So what did you find? moonflower? Broken Eagle Statue? Did you even find a cave or something?”

From the Black Book, Allen was able to find out the location of the objects Julius had obtained during this period before his return.

However, since they were all described in writing, the exact location was not known.

‘I’m glad that the characteristics of the place where the elixir was located were described.’

Thanks to this, it was possible to estimate the location by combining it with the map kept in the family. However, the problem is that the search scope is too wide.

It was for that reason that he broke up with Inellia and Linbell.

‘We don’t have enough time to gather around together.’

There were too many places to visit to explore together.

Inelia can move quickly, and she has a history of being a hunter, so it will be easy to find.

As soon as Allen broke up with them, he began to rummage the mountain with Bestla, who seemed to be unbearable.

Fortunately, she was able to fly, making it easy to search from the air.

Meanwhile, Allen was able to use the black book without noticing it.

Because she knew the existence of the black book, even if she acted strangely staring into the air, she could get over it.

At Allen’s question, she shook the sample as if it wasn’t all three and opened her mouth.

“There is a place you marked with an X at the top of the map.”

“… X marks?”

On the map, only the search area was marked in red according to the estimated location of the elixir?

“No, maybe… .”

It was a place where I had given up.

Unlike most places that have specific descriptions, the place where the gnome moved through space as a quest reward.

That’s why the place was marked with an X along with the name.

“I found the fountain of spirits… ?”

“yes! Right!”

“… Wasn’t it even marked properly?”

“Did you find it? Uh-huh, I’m the only one, right?”

“Didn’t I say that I found it by reading the map earlier?”

“to? Uh, I found it anyway, didn’t it? I’m going fast! Aren’t you going?”

Allen answered, staring at her loudly, saying that he would guide us quickly, and begging her to go.

“… Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”

If you really found the fountain of spirits.

“Then please guide me.”

She was willing to get over her little lie.

“Follow me so I don’t miss out! If you miss it, I’ll leave it behind!”

Allen followed Vestla’s swift flight into the depths of the mountain.

There was nothing particularly dangerous on Mount Nicea near El Round, so nothing could stop Allen’s feet, and the two proceeded smoothly inside.

While chasing after that, Allen asked her out of curiosity.

“How did you find the fountain of spirits? He honestly didn’t think he’d be able to find it… .”
