Chapter 110

Take Off

‘Tch—.’

Galahad read the paper held in the hand again.

There ‘engagement ceremony invitation list’ was written, but in reality it was ‘expected cause of death element list’.

‘There are many problems.’

To think of this many figures requesting attendance even though never sent an invitation—.

Among them the largest problem element was anyway the imperial princess.

The possibility of the imperial princess overturning the engagement ceremony—.

‘Quite high.’

Galahad swallowed thick saliva.

Because the imperial princess was a crazy woman, one could not predict the steps.

Could overturn the engagement ceremony, or rather applaud and wish happiness.

If not that, could jump in saying let’s do together—.

‘That one must definitely block.’

Although the imperial princess was the opponent one must pay the most attention to, it was not something one can resolve right now.

When there are many problems one had to deal with what one can process right now first.

Among this—.

‘The magic tower’s stubborn old ones.’

The old ones approached from when Galahad was in the academy. Because Galahad was the academy’s youngest entrant.

As the period of Galahad’s academy youngest graduation being confirmed and the period of the dusk’s magic tower lord uniquely rising overlapped, the old ones’ obsession became severe.

Because saw Galahad as the only talent who can oppose the dusk’s magic tower lord.

To the extent there were ones who promised the next magic tower lord seat.

Galahad refused all. Because a world line where destruction by the demon race’s king is confirmed, there was no time to fiddle with a stick in that gloomy place.

‘Would stick quite.’

It was old ones who do not know Galahad is an Information Bureau agent.

To them it would look as the century’s genius who can compete with the dusk’s magic tower lord entangled in political fight, and discarded in a magic barren land.

‘Would make a fuss saying will take.’

Other things aside these were ones sincere in magic.

It was clear would try to take care of Galahad somehow.

Although quite headache, yet not that there is only the bad side.

‘It is an opportunity to secure the mana stone’s supply network.’

The empire’s northern sanctions were quite strong. As a regular magic tower based in the capital distributing the North’s mana stones would be quite burdensome.

Persuading that is not easy, but not impossible.

‘Northern sanctions.’

Galahad tapped the cigarette and looked at the front.

“This way! Raise!”

“Raising!”

A structure of tower form was rising. It was the magic tower Galahad requested.

‘Amazing speed.’

How long since starting construction yet already the form is being caught. Boasted that the North’s construction is excellent yet certainly fast.

That said the inside does not matter was also large.

Just said look plausible.

From the beginning the purpose was that.

‘Mana stone washing machine.’

Galahad satisfactorily raised the corners of his mouth.

The magic tower was the first button for avoiding the northern sanctions.

Then, one wearing a crow mask prostrated in front of Galahad. It was Palho.

Black Magic Society—. the second stage of washing. The mages summoned to Galahad’s magic tower all had each different groups like the Black Magic Society. Was thinking of using those groups.

Although they already became magic tower affiliation so all non-existent groups—.

‘The name exists.’

It was a classic washing method.

“As ordered in the middle of connecting the distribution network again. ······Really will use that name.”

Palho asked while slightly examining the mood.

The last stage of mana stone washing—.

‘Dawn.’

If using dawn’s name, there were two advantages.

It was dawn that did not even deal with when Galahad was in the Information Bureau.

That such dawn was an organization of this large scale, it was the story of dawn using hands on the Information Bureau.

If using dawn’s name it was clear the guys’ side would try to block somehow.

If by any chance caught—.

‘The empire would guard dawn.’

Even if there is dawn in the Information Bureau leadership, one would not be able to erase a matter caused this largely. It was clear the empire side would pressure dawn.

Because would block the name so would not even be caught, and even if caught it was clear dawn would take the blame.

Along with that if stimulating dawn in that process and the guys come out, that is good as that.

‘A perfect plan.’

Galahad satisfactorily raised the corners of his mouth.

Next—.

‘Bait.’

Had to make bait to catch the magic tower’s old ones.

The old ones overflowed with caution as much as the wrinkled wrinkles. Did not bite anything recklessly.

Very delicious and sweet bait was needed.

And that bait—.

‘Again Adrianne.’

Galahad shook his hand.

****

Galahad was a type of person Adrianne had never met.

The ones dealing with Adrianne were largely two types. Fearing, or revering while fearing—. usually one of the two.

Galahad did not belong to that. Galahad neither feared Adrianne, nor revered.

Just made bizarre requests with eyes full of longing.

However, thought that also became a little familiar now.

Asking for the hand as if leaving, and making mischievous jokes also thought adapted a bit now.

Until a little while ago—.

“······What did you say?”

Adrianne countered whether heard wrong.

At that Galahad—.

“Said take off.”

Indifferently requested.

Adrianne’s eyes greatly shook.

Because called suddenly with burning eyes thought would hold hands or something. It was Adrianne who washed hands and came out at that.

Yet suddenly—.

‘······Take off?’

At a situation far beyond expectation Adrianne stiffened as is. Consciousness could not follow at all.

“Breathe. Why so, not even a reckless request.”

Is not a reckless request? Is that so? Question marks consecutively floated in Adrianne’s head.

Heard empire nobles are different from the North. Because said the capital’s nobles are very promiscuous without pair.

‘Captain Galahad matched the North until now.’

Adrianne moved her lips. Galahad matched the North’s etiquette. Then is matching this time correct?

‘······Is that so?!’

Adrianne urgently examined Galahad.

Galahad’s eyes were full of plain heat as always. Although hot emotion undulated, amazingly not even small lust was seen.

Thinking about it Adrianne had seen Galahad’s upper body.

To be fair—.

‘······Fair?!’

Adrianne’s mouth moved with a beonggeot. Thoughts continued.

And—.

“Now is reckless!”

Urgently shouted. Those eyebrows roughly shook.

Because Galahad was a man who digs in if even a little gap is seen. Even gave strength in the eyes so as not to show a small gap either.

This was really dangerous.

A moment of silence continued. Galahad furrowed his eyes.

“Hmm, although the armor might be damaged. That armor value seems quite going out, fine?”

“What··· what······ why is the armor damaged!”

At Adrianne who became rabbit eyes Galahad furrowed his eyes.

“Didn’t clearly explain. There is something to confirm in your nature. Because that armor might be damaged so said change into something else.”

At Galahad’s sharp words Adrianne blinked her eyes. Thinking about it it seemed Galahad said something.

Just the end’s ‘take off.’ was too shocking so all erased—.

“You, what thought?”

Galahad asked while opening his eyes narrowly. Adrianne’s eyes became larger once more. That face became hot as if bursting. Adrianne urgently put on the helmet.

Dalkkeurak.

“······Did not think anything.”

“No, why suddenly putting on the helmet.”

“Said did not think anything.”

“Asked why put on the helmet though.”

“Did not think strange.”

“Why suddenly raising aura.”

“Enough. Let’s do.”

A voice cold to an amazing degree came out. Although Adrianne who spit was surprised degree but—.

“Thank you. Come, go that side and stand.”

Galahad laughed as if satisfied.

Adrianne moved her lips.

Idiot—. Adrianne who softly muttered hurriedly apologized inside.

*

Adrianne’s nature burned mana.

Palms have to meet for sound to come out.

Saying again that Adrianne’s nature burns mana—.

‘There is a nature corresponding to mana.’

And that was the nature of mana not revealed.

Not for nothing Galahad got stuck on Adrianne’s nature.

In magic mana was immutable. Even if changing the nature with a stroke absolute mana was an immutable thing that does not disappear.

Such absolute mana burning and disappearing—.

Adrianne’s nature was an existence that can shake the magic world.

‘A topic that would draw the old ones’ interest.’

Galahad was certain Adrianne’s nature would very firmly sew the old ones.

Along with that if that is the nature of mana—.

‘One can make with magic.’

Galahad’s eyes deeply sank.

If finding out and being able to handle that nature that burns mana, it was clear would be more innovative than the destroyed 4 great magic towers’ magic.

No, could not even compare. That would become a matter without precedent even encompassing magic history.

The ripple that would bring was to the extent of even unable to imagine.

The magic tower’s old ones flipping their eyes needed no words.

‘Might say come over to the North.’

It was not exaggeration. Adrianne’s nature was fatal to that degree.

Because breaking the concept itself of mana that was the foundation of magic until now.

However, Adrianne’s nature was picky and difficult.

Even Galahad who risked life and held hands several times only faintly felt degree.

A new approach method was needed.

‘Because sometimes the stupid is the fastest path.’

Galahad refreshingly laughed and gestured. The usual hollow two mages stood beside. Behind that Gwen of a serious face took place.

The two who met eyes with Galahad nodded.

“First experiment.”

Galahad pointed at Adrianne and—.

“Heavenly punishment.”

Lightly flicked his finger.

Kwaang!

Lightning fully struck down.

Adrianne’s helmet rattled with a dalkkeurak.

Gilbert looked at the situation and opened his mouth with a jjeok.

No matter how Galahad, pouring magic while laughing at Adrianne—.

Gilbert who pondered for a moment somehow the body ached, and held Damien holding a staff’s neck and headed to the training ground.

*

‘······.’

Adrianne slowly looked around.

The surroundings were a mess. Traces burned by fire and traces of something pointed stuck, even overturned places—. to the extent insufficient with the explanation of a mess.

That cause—.

“Forty-second experiment, heavenly punishment.”

At the voice full of laughter Adrianne turned her head.

On the opposite side there was Galahad. Galahad was widely laughing unlike usual.

Exactly as if really fun and cannot endure—.

‘······.’

Adrianne’s eyes narrowed.

Understood that Galahad is in the middle of researching Adrianne’s nature.

However—.

‘What is this······.’

Adrianne softly muttered at the lightning falling in front.

Galahad continuously dropped magic saying will research Adrianne’s nature.

Although none among them could affect Adrianne—.

‘To think of being able to laugh so brightly.’

While pouring magic at oneself, laughing so brightly—.

‘Too······.’

Adrianne tightly closed her mouth.

“Can··· cannot! Now end!”

Galahad stopped only after Gwen teared up and overturned. Galahad immediately headed to the mages beside.

“Result?”

“Recorded as said—.”

Galahad confirmed the paper the mages handed. Still brightly laughing.

Adrianne lightly raised aura. The little warmth lightly scattered.

Galahad was researching Adrianne’s curse doing his best.

There were even worse treatments in the matters Adrianne experienced.

[Cursed woman!]

Adrianne tidied the helmet for nothing.

Then, Galahad approached with a seongkeum. A refreshing smile was full. Galahad passed the disheveled hair and held out something.

It was paper full of bizarre characters. Adrianne passed the helmet back and examined the paper.

Although seriously read—.

“Do not know.”

“Ah, researched regarding the action of your nature. As you also know, your nature acts stronger the stronger the mana.”

Adrianne nodded.

“So thought. If the mana density weakens?”

“······Is it that my nature also weakens?”

“It is the correct answer. Amazing.”

Adrianne’s eyebrows rose.

“Here problem. What would your nature receiving influence from the mana’s density mean?”

Galahad’s finger pointed at Adrianne.

Adrianne seriously pondered. Pondered to the extent those eyebrows furrow.

However, it was too difficult a problem.

“Do not know.”

“The answer is simple. Mana also acts on your nature.”

Galahad flicked his finger. Light wind brushed Adrianne’s hair.

“You are fire, and mana is firewood. That your nature is strong is because here is the thick density North. If going to the center where the density is half lower than here, your nature would reduce by half. Then the south? Would be no different from none at all.”

At Galahad’s explanation Adrianne’s eyes became large.

“Is it the story of the curse weakening if going to the south?”

Adrianne’s voice fully rose. As that expressionless broke, desperation finely flowed out.

It was the curse that tormented Adrianne a lifetime. If her own pain one could endure.

But this was a curse that burns others not her.

Yet if going to the south one can eliminate the curse—.

Desperation took place on Adrianne’s face.

Then, Galahad’s smile disappeared. The eyebrows softly furrowed. At the angry look that took place instead of the smile Adrianne’s eyebrows went down.

“What sound is that.”

Galahad’s voice was chilly unlike usual.

At that Adrianne was slightly surprised. Yes. It was dreaming a vain dream. There is no way this curse falls.

“······No.”

Adrianne stepped back one step. Those eyebrows fully went down. The eyes shook.

Galahad approached with a seongkeum. Long-legged Galahad’s stride was long. To the extent of easily catching Adrianne’s backstepping.

Galahad approached with a seongkeum close. Galahad held Adrianne’s armor. Adrianne stiffened as is.

Galahad’s pupils stared at Adrianne.

“Your nature is not a curse.”

Galahad’s voice was firm. As if will not receive rebuttal—.

It was the nature that tormented Adrianne a lifetime.

Yet not a curse—.

“What do you know···!”

Adrianne’s voice became pointed. At that Galahad covered the lips with the index finger.

“Although a person thinks knows well about oneself, in reality not so. More indifferent to oneself than others. So much that the words of knowing oneself are famous.”

Lemon scent deeply blew. Adrianne swallowed dry saliva.

“Although you said your nature is a curse, that is not a curse.”

Because Galahad’s voice was too firm, one could not dare rebut.

“Didn’t say. You are fire, and mana is firewood. If the firewood disappears, what happens to the fire?”

Galahad flicked his finger. The cigarette’s fire extinguished in an instant.

Adrianne’s eyes shook.

“Do not separate the nature and you. You are a fish that needs mana to be able to breathe.”

Galahad’s conviction deeply stabbed Adrianne. Adrianne’s face furrowed.

Rather saying a curse was better. Because a curse has even a small hope.

Yet that soon Adrianne—.

It was words trampling even the small hope desperately holding.

Adrianne’s fist softly trembled.

Contrary to the fully shaking Adrianne Galahad was brightly laughing.

A very bright smile to an annoying degree—.

“A curse. How such nonsense. Your nature is more attractive and amazing than anything I have seen. To the extent the word lovable is insufficient. Asserting the most noble among all existing things, and also precious.”

At the suddenly softened voice Adrianne’s mouth opened.

Just now the nature and Adrianne are the same—.

Then, Galahad approached with a seongkeum again. Too close.

“Do not worry. I will definitely grasp your nature, that every nook and cranny, without leaving even one all.”

The voice was too firm. There was no small gap either.

Because the eyes were too clear and hot, Adrianne had no choice but to avoid the gaze.

“Ah, and if worrying about skinship, fine.”

Galahad flicked his finger. Refreshing wind fully tapped Adrianne.

Why suddenly wind—.

Then—.

Warmth perched on the cheek.

“If using magic extremely lowering the mana density your nature weakens. If applying even this is possible.”

Galahad’s hand lightly pinched Adrianne’s cheek.

“You, the cheek is quite soft.”

At the rough warmth that approached with a seongkeum—.

Adrianne hurriedly bowed her head.
