Chapter 235
[ Episode 235. Owner of Portion]
“What are you doing here?”
Bahat checked the paper on the desk and said without looking up.
Then, Burial, who entered Bahat’s room, calmly sat down and looked at Bahat.
“Is that a thesis?”
“Are you the one who brought in Portrion?”
Burial smiled at Bahat, who simply ignored the question and said what he had to say.
“It doesn’t sound good. Are you saying that I must have done something mean?”
“Berial, you have always acted in your own interests. Could it be that you didn’t do that without thinking?”
“You seem to be answering my question from earlier.”
“We’re not close enough to have a normal conversation.”
At Bahat’s cold reply, Berial crossed his legs on top of the stack of books.
“Since you hate talking so much, let me tell you something. That would be comfortable for each other.”
Bahat still didn’t even turn his head and took notes while reading what he was reading.
But knowing he was listening, Burial told him why he had come.
“Lord of the Magic Tower. I will only be here until next year.”
“…… Permission.”
“Who am I? We have already solved everything.”
“Even the imperial palace is out of its mind to release a guy like you out of the world.”
“Because the appetizing kingdoms are messing around right in front of your eyes. Thanks to you, I solved it easily haha.”
Burial laughed happily and rose from her seat.
Then, after walking around the room, he finally arrived at the desk where Bahat was sitting.
“Top Lord. As you know, I have a disciple.”
“…….”
“He may not have magical talents, but he is a great friend with unusual ideas and the ability to put those ideas into action.”
“Funny. Are you calling me a disciple when you’re too busy with your work lately to teach me properly?”
“You shouldn’t blame me for that. Because the contract between me and him was such a contract in the first place.”
Looking at Burial’s smiling face as he spoke, Bahat raised his fist and then put it down.
It was Bahat who impulsively wanted to punch him in the face.
“So what do you want to say?”
“Because of this thesis, my student’s reputation will spread widely in the academic world. If you are the head of the Rodelian Magic Tower, which you are proud to be the best on the continent, you will be able to contribute to speeding it up a little more, right?”
“What are you up to?”
“What are you decorating? I just want my disciple to do well. And the tower lord must also have a debt to him? Please take this opportunity to repay the favor properly.”
“It’s nothing for you to talk about. Do you dare to order me?”
The unusual magical energy made a mess in Bahat’s room, which was already cluttered.
Even in such a situation, Berial just stood calmly, spreading a thin curtain around her.
“Are you offended by my words? which part? Please tell me if you feel uncomfortable leaving the academy or if you feel uncomfortable asking Adrias for help.”
“I don’t like the way you talk and your gestures, son of a bitch. I’ll take care of things about Adrias, so get out of here right now!”
“I will take this as a positive and leave. And now we only have to see each other for one more year, so let’s have a good time, top lord.”
At Bahat’s scolding, Berial smiled and bowed her head as if she had heard a satisfactory answer.
Then, with the mana still wrapped around her, she leisurely left the room.
“Whoa.”
Bahat, who felt his blood pressure rise from his momentary excitement, took a deep breath and sat down.
Then he glared at the door where Berial had left and heard the communication artifact.
– Communication received, Tower Lord.
“Is it Dixon? In any case, if Burial visits in the future, he must not come to my room.”
– Yes Yes? Yes, I understand.
A panicked voice came through, but Bahat turned off the artifact.
In fact, he also knew that Burial had broken through the Mage Tower’s guards and came secretly, but he had to relieve himself this way.
The others in the Mage Tower probably don’t even know that Burial came.
“Goyan bastard.”
Bahat quickly regained his composure, befitting an outstanding wizard.
Although he has an irritable temper, being able to control his emotions at any time was the skill of a great wizard.
Bahat looked at the thesis that Adrias and Diene collaborated on on the desk for a while, then turned his head to look in the direction where they were.
“Even if you called me, you called a monster.”
Since it was related to his daughter, if an ordinary devourer had come, he would have run to the principal’s office by now and campaigned.
But the one who arrived now was by no means an ordinary person.
Since the waves of strong warnings have already reached here, the Devourer who came here must have been Maxwell, the owner of Portion.
He is a powerful warlock that even Bahat can’t predict the match.
In addition, because of his disorganized nature, he did not know what would happen if Bahat visited.
“Tsk.”
Guessing that there was nothing he could do right now, Bahat clicked his tongue and looked at the thesis again.
Then, I started to jot things down again.
**
“I didn’t expect the owner of Portrion to come all the way here.”
The person who spoke on behalf of us panicked was Deos.
From what I’ve heard, it seems he didn’t know that Maxwell was coming either.
“Anyway, my movements affect a lot of people.”
Maxwell replied casually.
Then he looked at me again.
“Actually, the reason I came all the way here myself is because I wanted to see you, even though the thesis is also the thesis.”
“Is that so.”
He said he already knew me.
If you think about the connection with Maxwell, you don’t have to worry about it right away.
‘Luna Pendragon.’
Due to the timing, she should have already died in the original work, but she was still alive because of the future I had accidentally twisted.
For now, she was Maxwell’s daughter, one of my precious people.
Even the heartless Maxwell, who had never met his daughter face-to-face, would have some interest in her.
“Can I call you the title of Seongju-nim?”
“castellan? do whatever you want.”
“I know that the lord of the castle doesn’t have to visit people directly with original magic. I also know that they announce warlocks with such magical properties.”
“Why did you have to come to see you?”
“That’s right.”
“You are bold.”
It was as if other people would say that it was an honor just for me to come, but I felt that it was funny.
But that feeling was short-lived, and Maxwell opened his mouth soon.
“Magicians usually get stronger as time passes. Unlike swordsmen who become weak when their bodies become dull.”
well.
When I see Master Deshurn, I don’t think so, but let’s just say that.
“Therefore, my magic continues to develop. In the first place, I am in Fortion for him.”
“Is that so.”
“I’m finally starting to peek into my destiny.”
Everyone held their breath at Maxwell’s words.
Had it been said by someone else, I would have heard it as a metaphor or a joke, but when Maxwell said it, the weight was different.
“Has it been about 5 years since you peeked into fate? It is not possible to see everyone’s destiny, and it can be seen only when various conditions are combined to the point of being called a coincidence, but until recently, it has never gone wrong.”
“That sounds like you’ve been drifting off lately.”
“Exactly.”
In fact, I didn’t know exactly what Maxwell’s abilities were.
It was a game with a high degree of freedom, so I thought about attacking him, but it was impossible because he was a character that I couldn’t meet in the first place.
He is literally the most suitable man for a devourer.
To put it badly, it was just a corner of the room. The premise of using magic well is attached.
So all I knew was that he was announcing warlocks and using information-related magic.
So there are also places I didn’t recognize at first.
“Could that twisted fate be related to me?”
“Yes. So I came to see if I could feel something when I met him in person.”
“Can you feel it?”
“at all.”
What a disappointment.
I wish I could have felt and admired something.
“I am rather surprised by that. You…”
Maxwell, who was about to say something more, cut off there.
Then he smiled and said.
“I have to do it here. I want to talk to you more, but it’s too private to go a little deeper.”
As he was about to finish his speech, the people around him showed signs of regret.
He looked like he wanted to hear even one more word from Maxwell, but ironically, that was the case with the other two devourers as well.
“I finished my business, so let’s get up.”
“About the dissertation…”
“I have nothing more to ask. In fact, I have some idea how I came to write that thesis.”
Any guesses?
But Maxwell was good enough.
In fact, if he opens his mouth in earnest, it will be revealed that I am a warlock and that I am a member of the coven.
Fortunately, he was a neutral mage, famous for interacting with warlocks.
In the first place, the only places where warlocks were rejected the most were empires and holy kingdoms.
“I’ll see you at Fortion next time. I’ll send you an invitation, so let’s talk at length then.”
“Huh!”
Maxwell’s words surprised everyone.
Even Carmen burst into exclamation.
Maxwell’s words seemed light, but never light.
“I’ll go first, so if you guys have anything more to say about the thesis, let me know.”
“All right.”
When Biante responded politely, Maxwell said goodbye to Theos and addressed Diene one last time.
“Give my regards to Bahat.”
“yes.”
“Then I’ll just go for it. It was fun.”
Maxwell disappeared before the resonance even disappeared, leaving only a greeting.
Not even a trace of mana was felt, and it was a magical skill that gave goosebumps.
“Then let’s talk more among ourselves.”
Biente said, tidying up.
However, due to the influence of Maxwell himself, who had just happened, everyone seemed to be distracted.
He was a great wizard who could be said to be a handful of people he actually met over the past 10 years…
‘Portrion.’
I was planning on visiting, but Maxwell’s invitation is the icing on the cake.
Since the festival is held in September, there was plenty of time.
Until then, I’ll have to prepare in advance.
**
The news of Fortion’s wizards coming and going quickly spread throughout the country.
Thanks to that, the thesis, which included the names of me, Diane, and Lucia, who became indispensable now as the help gradually grew, aroused great anticipation.
The grade has already been released, and the subject of the thesis has also been revealed.
‘What is the source of mana.’
It might sound like dog shit, but in fact, the title didn’t matter anyway.
What really matters is the content.
It was because of the contents that the wizards of Portion came after all.
“Announcement soon.”
Vivian, whom I met after a few days because of my thesis, cleaned my lab.
I thought I was pretty neat too, but these days I started to think that it might not be because of research.
“yes. It’s an announcement.”
“You will be fine.”
In fact, thanks to the help of the two geniuses, the completion of the thesis was close to perfection.
If Diene and Lucia didn’t find the error, probably no one else would.
In terms of their talents, these two are better than any wizard on the present continent.
“Has Vivian finished all her essentials?”
“huh. Now, only the graduation evaluation remains.”
“You have quite a bit of time left.”
“So I came to see you.”
You’re honest.
Well, I couldn’t take care of her because of the thesis, so I’m not in a position to tell others.
Still, thanks to Vivian’s visit, it felt a bit refreshed, so it was good.
“Are you confident?”
“Sure.”
With Diene and Lucia on my back, what should I be afraid of?
I only gave directions, and the two of us wrote almost everything together.
Of course, my role in setting the direction was the biggest.
ding!
A message arrived on the tablet.
I checked and it was time to leave.
“presentation?”
“yes. Would you like to come with me?”
“huh.”
I gathered the materials I had prepared and got up from my seat.
All of the papers currently leaked to the outside are only partial excerpts.
Even the magicians of Portion were not shown the full text of the thesis.
‘Shall we go?’
It’s not about changing the world.
Just to the extent of increasing the number of required subjects to study in the Magical Academy?
“Although there are very few people who can use it right away anyway.”
Why am I so confident
What I will present in this thesis is none other than a new origin.
