34. Getting to Know (2)

“The armor you wore this time, hasn’t it been repaired yet?”

As soon as we got out of the magic tower, Elijah asked.

She hurriedly dragged Epona out of her room, and now it seems like nothing happened.

Judas was used to her sudden change in her selfish attitude.

It’s comfortable to think that there’s a cat in there.

“Yes. I am in my room.”

As soon as she returned, she was brought to the Magic Tower. She

She didn’t even have time to ask for repairs.

“Let’s go get it.”

“Now?”

“Yes.”

Elijah took Judas by the hand.

When she closes her eyes and opens them, it is Judas’ room.

She came in and out of her room like her own, so I didn’t even have to calculate her coordinates.

There is a large shelf in the seat facing Judas’s bed.

A place to put her armor.

Slightly rough gray plate armor.

The sun is embossed in the center of her chest.

Every time Judas saw that pattern, he felt uneasy for some reason.

Even though it’s her own armor.

“I need to wear it to take it, would you mind?”

I couldn’t put the plate armor that couldn’t be wrinkled anywhere.

She has no choice but to wear and move.

It takes a long time, but it is designed so that it is easy to wear and take off alone.

Elijah nodded her head.

While waiting, she quietly observed Judas.

Putting on her armor one after another over her pants and doublet.

The thick tendons on the back of her hand wriggled whenever she moved.

Elijah shifted her gaze.

Her back was punctured by bolts.

Because of that.

What Elijah is trying to do with the armor of Judas himself.

‘… It’ll take a long time.’

She had no choice but to step out.

“Let me help you.”

“… Yes?! No, no. You can wear it alone.”

It is usually the job of a subordinate to help put on the armor.

Although she sometimes helps her SS colleagues.

She couldn’t let her own master do such a thing anyway.

But Elijah’s will was stubborn.

“Stay still.”

“… ….”

Judah has almost done her wear.

All she had to do was fasten or connect with her belt.

I’ve never tried it, but it wasn’t difficult either.

She belted her back.

Her Judah’s broad back filled her field of vision.

She can cover herself completely.

His heavily armed appearance reminds me of a tank.

It’s just as wide when naked….

“… It’s okay.”

Judas looked restlessly at Elijah.

On the other hand, she calmly looked up at him.

As usual.

“Don’t worry, I helped because it seemed like it would take a long time.”

“… It’s not easy, but I will. But why did you suddenly tell me to bring armor?”

“Let’s talk as we go.”

Elijah took her hand.

Naturally. Like a habit.

*

The Mage Tower Street is back.

People didn’t pay much attention even when articles suddenly appeared.

Because it’s a place where all kinds of people come and go.

Elijah explained as he took her hand and led her.

“I’m going to order an enchantment while repairing her armor. It seems too weak to use now.”

In other words, it meant that Judas’ armor would be changed into an artifact.

“I can do enchantment too, but it’s not my major. I’ll leave it to the experts.”

“Suddenly why….”

“My name is my escort knight, but I don’t think he just wears basic armor.”

It was embarrassing, but it was an understandable explanation.

It was also a nice and thankful thing.

“Thank you.”

Wizards aren’t the only ones on the streets of the Mage Tower.

People in need of magical help flock to it.

Merchant, Mercenary, Aristocrat, Knight, etc.

As such, there are many facilities only for pure customers.

The two entered a quiet building with few people.

Judah knows where this place is.

This shop is run by a couple of artisans who specialize in enchantment or artifact production.

And, in this area, it is one of the most expensive.

When I open the wooden door, the paper rattles.

An old woman with white hair walked out from inside.

The face smiles benevolently under the small glasses.

From noble mtl dot com

“Welcome….”

Looking at Elijah, his little eyes widened.

“… Lady Elijah?!”

Then someone shouted from inside the store.

“The youngest lady of Bebel has arrived?!”

Someone jumped out with a commotion.

Likewise, he was an old man with a laid-back look.

He too opened her eyes wide in surprise when he saw Elijah.

Judah was taken aback.

‘I don’t normally have this kind of personality… ?’

The first grandmother who greeted me was Theodora.

The grandfather who jumped out next was Smith.

Like the impression, they are an elderly couple craftsmen who are laid-back and laid-back.

I have never seen such a passionate reaction.

“Oops, did you finally become interested in our field?”

Elijah replied indifferently.

“No. I’m here to give you a request.”

“Ah, don’t do that. If it’s the young lady’s talent, she’ll definitely stand out here too….”

“I will decline.”

It was an offer that had begun several years ago, but Elijah stubbornly refused.

Even now, the enchantment skill was enough.

Just then, Theodora found Judas necklace.

“That was the one I made the other day… !”

Elijah quietly blocked her way in front of him.

“You have to accept the request, right?”

“Ah, yes. Yes, that’s how it should be…. Come in at once.”

An elderly couple guided us inside.

Dazed, Judas followed with Elijah.

She knew Elijah’s talent was great, but she didn’t expect it to be this good.

Her shop was not very clean, so it was a bit empty.

On display inside are potted plants and a few paintings in a warm style.

There was nothing that looked like a magic tool.

It made sense.

Because the elderly couple handcraft products only through requests.

There was no such thing as a pre-made industrial product.

This is a shop with great craftsmanship and pride.

“What kind of request are you trying to entrust?”

“To complement my escort knight’s armor.”

“Yes, yes. You say Judas?”

“… Do you know me?”

“Everyone knows. How famous are you these days?”

Judas thought, twiddling her chin.

Does she have a reason to be famous?

Because it’s simply Elijah’s escort?

‘Is that a reason for rumors to spread all the way here…? ?’

Elijah was also puzzled and tilted her head.

Why is Judas famous?

You became famous because someone cared about you?

Why are you interested in mine?

Should I just fast-forward?

I haven’t decided which mountain to dig yet….

“Handsome young man, come and see me.”

Judah stood in front of Smith.

As if he was used to it, he measured Judas’ body everywhere with a tape measure.

In the meantime, Elijah consulted with Theodora.

“What features do you want?”

“I want to increase durability and strength.”

Elijah doesn’t know much about enchantments.

Crafting an artifact from scratch for magical purposes is quite different from enchanting a non-magic tool.

Thus, if you tell us what features you want, Theodora will tell you a specific plan.

“The most common method is to create layers with the flow of magical energy on the inner surface of sheet metal. It’s convenient to think of it as adding a function to weave a shield with magic, just like making cloth with threads.”

“How about a stronger method than that?”

“There is also a way to increase the hardness by implanting magical energy into the sheet metal itself…. If you’re not careful, the mana could shatter the sheet metal. In this case, it is cumbersome to repair when damaged.”

“I’ll take the first one. And automatically blocking projectiles flying from the rear blind spot….”

Even as they exchanged opinions, Elijah periodically glanced at Judas.

Judas measured her with her armor on, but she now took her armor off and measured over her plain clothes.

Seeing her slightly bewildered expression, she seemed to be laughing for no reason.

Elijah watched closely as she measured the circumference of her neck.

A tape measure. Snood. Neck circumference. Hmm….

Unaware of Elijah’s intentions, Judas was calculating the amount she was spending here.

If you list the enchantments Elijah mentioned and their ranges, her approximate estimate will come out.

‘How much are you going to spend… ?’

At the end of the discussion.

Elijah’s last, she made a small offer.

“And, I want to participate in the enchanting process.”

“eeeing… ?! Really?”

Elijah nodded her head.

Theodora smiled as she adjusted her spectacles.

“It would be an honor for us if Youngae would be with us.”

It was not an active participation, but a method of checking in between.

Originally, this is absolutely impossible.

To join the artisan’s production process for free.

I wouldn’t allow it even if I paid a huge amount of money.

However, the opponent was Elijah.

Anyone in the field of magic would like to work with Elijah at least once.

The Second Coming of the Age of Myth.

Conversely, it was an honor for the elderly couple.

“But aren’t you busy?”

“Let’s make the most of our time.”

Elijah was willing to do that.

It is to directly fix the armor of Judas.

The owner himself could not be left out.

Her real purpose was different.

When the enchantment is finished, a special word will be engraved inside her armor.

There is no particular intention.

It’s just to leave the mark of the owner.

Like branding a slave. Just like that. Really.

“Whoa.”

The Emperor, John exclaimed with satisfaction.

I was very satisfied with the results in front of me.

The totality of her own history.

An early work of the new century created with black magic and divine power.

“Kuhuhuhhh… Whew….”

The ‘human’ in front of us cried as if he were laughing.

Tears exposed.

The corners of the mouth are raised softly.

However, bloody tears flowed from her gouged eyes.

Her limbs were bound with dozens of chains, and her mouth was gagged.

A creaking sound echoed through the darkness with every movement.

Geist, the head of the Imperial Magicians who led the experiment by the side, clapped his hands.

“Finally finished. Your majesty. With this and the other two holy relics, the grand integration plan will go smoothly.”

“I think so too. However, it is not possible to inform the public suddenly.”

“He is benevolent as a person who will become the god of the new century. If so, why don’t you use the founding festival to inform them?”

“Construction….”

“It is to announce that a new world is coming. You have to give them time to prepare.”

“I guess I can use this finished body then.”

“At Giudecca?”

“Yes. As an overwhelming presence.”

“Smart idea.”

The two men laughed coolly in the dark.

A satisfying smile that seems like nothing else in the world.

A clattering sound overlaps over it.

The grotesque laughter of the first and final subject.

“It must be the beginning after the founding festival.”

“Yes. First of all….”

The emperor spoke in a distant voice as if dreaming.

A long-awaited wish.

That was a dream, really.

“Start killing Bevel.”
