Episode 72

We arrived at one of the gardens outside the Academy.

The flowers in full bloom near the spot where you can enjoy tea time showed off their charms. Behind the splendor is the hard work of a gardener who works hard every day.

Eliza was there.

the center of the garden.

Although the midday sun was shining, the surrounding atmosphere was cold.

‘The others didn’t bring them.’

There was no other person in the garden except him.

Eliza said nothing.

Allen felt the presence of the garden, but he did not turn his head once.

It continued until Allen drew closer, and as he sat across from him, his eyes opened quietly.

“Thank you for accepting my invitation. Eliza lowered.”

“Does the host you invite come later than the guests these days?”

Eliza’s eyes sank deeply.

His planting looked very uncomfortable.

“It was because I had something to prepare for a while.”

No wonder

Judging by his attitude, he seemed close enough to take Benjamin back to the Empire after graduating from the Academy.

“The customs of the Libre Kingdom seem to allow this.”

“It depends on the gravity of the job.”

“Isn’t that something that should be prepared in advance?”

“Doesn’t that mean it’s such an important preparation?”

“Hey, that’s good. okay.”

As Allen lightly dismissed his sarcasm, Eliza smiled exasperatedly.

‘It’s emotional.’

However, even considering the Benjamin case, his attitude was a little more emotional than I thought. Allen, feeling his strangeness, opened his mouth carefully.

“… By the way, what part of me disturbed you?”

Eliza answered Allen’s question as firmly as Chachauri.

“Isn’t it too late?”

“I understand you came on time for your appointment.”

“You should have come at least thirty minutes ago. Isn’t that the only value of this meeting for you?”

“Because I thought it was important, I matched it even more… , ah.”

Allen realized that his unexplained anger was at odds with each other’s customs.

In the Kingdom of Libre, the more important the meeting, the more timely it is. It was because it showed the sincerity of preparing as much as possible for this meeting. The Aldnia Empire was different. Preparation is something that only poor people do.

They showed off their leisure by coming out as early as possible. The more important the meeting, the more thoroughly he prepared all the preparations and revealed his true nature.

From Prince Eliza’s point of view, it could be mistaken that Allen did not take this meeting seriously.

Allen took a step back.

“I sincerely apologize. It is my fault that I did not understand the difference in customs with the Empire. If this makes planting uncomfortable, it doesn’t matter if you leave the place. but… .”

Eliza also realized that their perceptions were different.

“Even if it makes you uncomfortable, I would appreciate it if you could just listen to me for a moment.”

Eliza unconsciously tapped her thigh with her finger, deep in thought.

After a few minutes of silence, his mouth opened.

“… yeah i’ll take a look Allen Reinhardt, why did you want to see me?”

It was a more powerful voice.

“Because I have a story to tell through Benjamin-senpai’s work.”

He wiggled his eyebrows as if he had something to say, but shut his mouth as he remembered what he had just said.

“I understand that Benjamin-senpai was seriously injured because of my brother.”

“It’s often hard to find stuff that heals those injuries.”

Whether it was public wealth or money, there was no shortage of him as a prince.

Even if it’s not enough, Benjamin’s recovery will be natural if he asks the Empire for support.

“Isn’t it difficult to fully recover from your senior’s injury as time goes on?”

Allen unconsciously pulled his chin back.

The body can regenerate.

The problem is the horsepower circuit.

“It’s been a week now… , in order to completely restore the magic circuit, it would have to be done within at least four days… .”

Eliza clenched her fists at his calm tone.

“Did you find a way to restore it?”

Allen’s eyes pierced him straight.

Eliza’s face hardened terribly.

“What do you want to say? Is there any way to cure him?”

His tone was calm, but he could feel his seething anger being suppressed.

“Have you prepared this place for ridicule? You know the level of the Reinhardt family.”

Eliza twisted her lips.

“I came here for nothing. If I had known it would be like this, I would not have been able to come.”

Allen watched him vomit in anger, and as he was about to get up, he spoke in an unchanging tone.

“I will never forget this… .”

“there is.”

He opened his eyes wide as if he understood the meaning of the words one beat later.

Emotions are ambiguous.

It takes time to build a crush.

But even if it is a negative emotion, if given a little opportunity.

‘It can transform into other emotions at once.’

This fueled his anger.

“Isn’t the older brother responsible for the wrong little brother?”

Allen smiled softly and pulled out a subspace pocket from his arms.

“Less Elixir, that should be enough.”

It was a smile full of good will, pure without a trace.

***

Eliza couldn’t move right away. Allen had him hold on to him for a while.

“… An elixir that hasn’t been released yet?”

“Yeah, it’s going to be verified by the Alchemy School and released in a few months.”

A recipe for a lesser elixir.

This recipe was discovered by Allen himself in the ruins before returning.

He knew where the ruins of this recipe were buried, and he knew the effect well.

‘It’s a pity that the recipe is published, but… .’

Instead, you can make up for the missing goods.

Allen received a formidable reward for providing the recipe for the Lesser Elixir to the Alchemy School, and at the same time, received a fixed monthly royalty from the time the recipe was published.

From now on, there will be no shortage of money to buy items from the auction house.

It took a week to meet Eliza with all the work.

It was hard to believe that Eliza would receive an unverified and suspicious item.

“If you have any doubts about the origin of the elixir, you should check it out.”

“… No, there is no reason to come all the way here and tell lies.”

It was surprising that Eliza gave a lesser elixir that had not yet been released to the public.

‘… That would be enough to hide.’

If you know the value of this, the more you know, the more likely it is to hide it. Even so, she revealed the Elixir with the heart of taking responsibility for what her younger brother did… .

“Is there anything you wish for?”

“I hope this will put your heart in peace.”

“It wasn’t me who was hurt.”

“Of course, I plan to meet with Benjamin-senpai separately.”

Eliza kept her mouth shut at the sight of Allen evading the question.

Now was the time to accept any help, even if his actions were questionable.

“I don’t know what you really want.”

At first, I thought he was just one of those talented people. Because there are countless such people in the empire. He just looked at his behavior and thought he was a bit more seasoned.

‘But doing this… .’

What are your thoughts on doing this? I was curious about that. If I hadn’t had to deliver the Elixir to Benjamin, I would have talked a little more.

‘Are you greedy for imperial power? Or is it just to decorate something in the academy? I don’t know if it’s really a simple favor… .’

Eliza stopped her overflowing thoughts.

Thinking of Benjamin still groaning in pain, there was no time for this.

“but… , if this elixir really succeeds in fully recovering Benjamin… .”

Eliza thanked Allen with serious eyes.

“No case. certainly.”

Allen waved his hand with a humble smile.

“This is what my brother did, shouldn’t he be responsible? and… .”

Allen murmured for a moment with a face that was hard to say, then shook his head.

“No, nothing.”

Eliza stared intently at Allen as if thinking of something, then answered.

“Remember this.”

Allen nodded with a slightly tired face.

“Then, let’s get up first.”

Before Allen could answer, Eliza took the subspace pocket he had been given him and left.

You will have to determine the authenticity of the Elixir through personal connections, and you will also have to figure out the movement of the Alchemy Tower, so it will be busy for a few days.

‘This is the end of the preparation.’

Due to his personality, Allen’s concerns will not be overlooked.

If you add his kindness, last hesitation, and his gentle personality, he will reach out to you no matter how difficult it is.

Allen looked at his back as he moved away and raised his head.

The bright sunlight pierced my eyes.

‘Through the elixir, I made a connection to the tower city… .’

Grandel, who broke his brother’s circle, also owes him a debt.

Among the 7 great horse towers, the horse tower master of the wind horse tower.

One of the existing monsters of the presumed 8th rank.

‘Aside from that, the warlock, the forces that helped Julius, the darkness that targeted the city during the harvest festival, someone who gave the power of books, the former demon king Heizel, the secret hidden in the family… .’

Why is the world’s protection helping Julius and himself?

What is the system and what is Kim Woo-shin’s true identity?

There was a lot of work to be done, and unknown things were scattered all over the place.

There was no time to be quiet like this.

I lifted my head again.

The sky was damn clear, not a single cloud, unlike my disturbed mind.

It has been a week since Allen met Prince Eliza.

Two weeks have passed since the battle between Julius and Benjamin ended.

Although only a few days had passed, he was forgetting about the outcome of the battle between Julius and Benjamin.

Because so many things happened that the period between them seemed short.

To get the students’ attention, there were already more interesting events than the past.

“Heisel, did you see the record-breaking number one?”

“… Seriously, no matter how intermediate the ruins are, it’s crazy for a freshman to break the record… .”

“It’s not that I broke the record of Pierre, the strongest of the empire, wow.”

The first is Heisel’s record breaking.

Underneath the academy, there are artificial ruins that students can use as they are located in a large desert overflowing with ruins.

Lowest, Lowest, Intermediate, Higher, Superlative.

The ruins, which are divided into a total of five grades, consist of realistic traps and monsters, and time is measured each time the ruins are successfully completed.

To the extent that a bet is secretly made through it.

Originally, the rankings of the lower ranks of the ruins were updated well, so there was not much to talk about, but when Heisel updated the records of the intermediate ruins, the story changed.

This is because the owner who held the record for the best record was Pierre Bernaf, the strongest of the Empire, who is now a member of the Eight Rivers.

As a result, the gaze looking at Heisel was similar to looking at the future arms in a sense.

The second is the incubation of the divine beast.

This was not much of a topic compared to the first case.

However, that changed when it was revealed that the owner of the hatched divine beast was Julius, who became famous for beating his senior a few days ago, and that the existence that hatched from the egg was an extremely rare divine beast.

It became more common for students from other grades to come to see Shinsu, and his name became an opportunity to spread.

The fact that one of the seniors was discharged from these incidents was not even a topic of discussion.

Even the senior’s reputation wasn’t very good, so maybe it was natural.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

But Benjamin was satisfied.

“Thanks to you, I was able to get better. really… , I really don’t know what to do.”

I may have had to live with a disability for the rest of my life.

No matter how much he acted like that for the academy, it would not have been a happy outcome.

Even for the parents who tried to send him here in a small town in the south.

So, I felt great grace from Allen, who prevented the terrible future that would otherwise have occurred.

“It’s my brother’s fault, and I have to deal with it. I did the right thing.”

Benjamin came to Allen with Eliza.

After talking for a while, Eliza came back after a busy time. So it was only him and Allen here.

“… It’s normal.”

Seeing Allen speaking calmly, Benjamin rubbed the bridge of his nose once to see if he felt the emotions of that time.

“It is absolutely not normal. heard from the prince Did I mention that I used a lesser elixir? I gave you that precious thing without even the slightest hesitation. What is it not?”

Allen was speechless as he was about to come up with an excuse.

They used you to attract the prince.

Can’t I just say this excuse?

So Allen could only give a clichéd answer.

“… After all, it was my family, wasn’t it?”

“you… .”

Perhaps he thought that appearance was a shiver of humility, he spoke with serious eyes and bowed his head.

“Honestly, I don’t know how much help I will be to you, a nobleman. However… .”

He grabbed Allen’s hand and gave him strength, word by word, as if he had sworn to him.

“If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely help. anything.”

All Allen could do was chase him out quickly with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Call me anytime! uh? Call me!”

“… Yes, I understand. So go ahead and go. Seniors.”

“Ha ha ha, yes!”

No matter how thick Allen’s face was, it was difficult for him to remain like a face shield in that situation.

Allen, who chased him away, left the dormitory, looking at the horizon that ate half the sun.

The present time continued for several weeks, and it was almost hardened into a habit.

Miraa Caritas.

The time with her has come.
