‘Damn old men to hit. Filthily noisy.’

The mage of the blue magic tower, Roen fully furrowed his eyes.

The old man wearing a white robe and the old men wearing red robes were noisily chattering. The two old men’s quarrel did not end easily.

No, rather became more severe.

“Damn bastard! Fall off! It is mine!”

“Where is the owner in mana! Why sticking and bullshit!”

Now raising voices saying the atmosphere’s mana is each other’s.

Although a ridiculous quarrel, it was not something one could not understand.

‘Certainly the mana density is abnormally high.’

How thick the mana density, to the extent magic is hard without the staff.

‘The staff is truly a great invention.’

Roen touched the staff and grinned. The corners of Roen’s mouth rose.

Then—.

“That guy whose blood on the head has not even dried already relying on the staff?!”

“Anyway these days things—. only trying to go the easy path. Because like that the recent magic tower appearance is that shape. All just fiddling— fiddling— clubs in dark gloomy places.”

Suddenly the old men’s rough curses poured. At that turning the head, the old men who were quarreling until just now fixed the staff grip and were running at Roen.

“No, why doing to me.”

Roen hurriedly stepped back.

“A guy green young already relying on the staff?! So the blue magic tower fell from the 4 great magic towers! Guys with no root either!”

“Blue guys! Bragging well touching magic tools! Appearance good! Fucking things!”

“What······.”

The old men’s rough curses continued without even a gap for Roen to speak.

“Magic tools are just tools though! What different from a blacksmith the guys only making magic tools! Why going to the academy! Just swing a hammer in the blacksmith!”

“Do not insult the blacksmith! The blacksmith at least sheds sweat! These guys all just clicking with a pen!”

“The mage was born and the staff was born! Was the staff born and the mage born?!”

The old men roughly shot while even spitting saliva from the mouth.

The other mages behind Roen made sullen faces. Because already heard several times on the way coming there was no great impression.

However, Roen was different. Insulting the blue magic tower could not be endured.

“That Galahad is also a young mage?”

Roen raised his voice.

A moment of silence flowed. The old men fixed the staff grip and exchanged gazes. Roen became anxious.

“Ha, daring putting Galahad in the mouth?”

“No sense. No sense.”

“Shall we burn?”

“No, beat to death.”

The red old man long held the staff. The white old man spit— saliva on the palm.

At the atmosphere that became fierce in an instant Roen became urgent.

“······No, correct! Because graduated as the youngest! Would be young!”

“Correct! Correct words! Correct words!”

“Yes, correct words!”

The two old men continuously nodded. Roen softly relieved. Then, at the severe pain felt from the forearm Roen screamed.

“Aaaak!”

“Words that get hit!”

“Very words that get hit!”

Whether matched even a combination, the two old men consecutively hit Roen with the staff. Although Roen screamed tearing, no one helped.

Because the two old men’s position was too high to help.

“Galahad is! One who thinks magic tools as a mage’s shame very! A correct kid! One who does not sleep if not using all mana every day! A very diligent mage! Although a little arrogant kid!”

“Also how bright! The formulas you guys use! Do you know how many the guy organized?! Of course, quite arrogant though!”

“Yet what?! Same mage?! Galahad is not a guy who just fondles a stick like you guys—!”

“Although arrogant a real mage! Real!”

“Real among real! Although arrogant!”

“Yes, an arrogant kid!”

"You will lose even with a fist to the arrogant Galahad! This guy!"

‘On earth what guy the guy called Galahad—.’

One was clear.

That very arrogant—.

Roen was hit for a long time.

****

“One thousand one hundred ninety-ninth.”

Galahad deeply sucked the cigarette and narrowly opened his eyes.

The table making regarding Adrianne’s nature already ended.

The materials to show the magic tower’s old ones were in a prepared state.

Although achieved the initial goal, Galahad did not stop the experiment.

Rather raised the number.

Because it seemed a clue regarding Adrianne’s nature would be caught—.

Galahad woke Adrianne even while sleeping and stuck heavenly punishment.

To the extent Adrianne saying isn’t this severe.

And now—.

‘Hmm.’

Galahad quietly closed his eyes.

The magic circle engraved on the arm spewed violent light. Thump! Thump! the pill of pain continuously rippled. The heart roughly beat.

The answer was in a close place.

Adrianne—.

‘Burns mana.’

It was a fact already knowing.

That principle was important.

Adrianne—.

‘Burns mana and changes to vitality.’

Adrianne changed mana to vitality. That vitality accumulates in Adrianne.

It was the reason Adrianne could not endure when meeting a high-rank demon race.

‘Because vitality overflowed to the extent unable to endure.’

Galahad’s eyes deepened.

[Rather overflowing with vitality.]

It was the secret of Adrianne’s baby skin.

‘Hmm.’

Galahad stored mana in the blood through vitality. Yet in the high-rank demon race’s blood there is high density mana.

That was the story of high density vitality in the high-rank demon race’s blood.

In other words—.

‘High density vitality is needed for the high-rank demon race.’

Galahad’s eyes deepened.

Then how much vitality would be needed for the demon race’s king who will bring destruction to the world.

Vitality of a degree that cannot be compared to a high-rank demon race would be needed.

Yet by chance to Adrianne—.

‘There is high density vitality.’

Because Adrianne will endlessly burn the demon race, it was clear Adrianne’s vitality will become even stronger from now.

That dawn left Adrianne alive somehow hung on the mind.

‘If Adrianne is an existence possessing the vitality needed for the demon race’s king.’

Quite plausible.

‘A vessel for the demon race’s king.’

Galahad’s eyes deeply sank.

“Why?”

Adrianne asked in an indifferent voice. Galahad quietly stared at those transparent blue pupils.

It was upright eyes without even an inch of shaking.

‘Sword and vessel.’

One of the two. Or both.

As of now could not know.

Yet nothing changing. No, rather became more firm.

‘Adrianne is the most important.’

Vessel and sword. Whatever of the two, Adrianne would be the core facing the demon race’s king.

“Why?”

At Adrianne asking again Galahad lightly shook his head.

“Is the body fine?”

“Yes? Yes, rather refreshed. To the extent the day not doing this feels heavy.”

“This, now that I am needed every day. You, quite doing.”

“······Not that meaning.”

Galahad took out the cigarette, realized putting in the mouth and put in again.

“Is there some matter?”

Adrianne asked again.

“Once, finished the research regarding your nature.”

“Ah, finished? Congratulations.”

Adrianne’s eyebrows softly went down. Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

“Your nature is changing mana to vitality. Precisely speaking burning mana and making into vitality. The vitality that came out from there is stored in you.”

“Did you say vitality?”

“Understood?”

“Did not understand.”

“Confident.”

“Because not something to be ashamed of.”

At confident Adrianne Galahad softly laughed.

“Simply speaking, you will be young and beautiful until dying. Congratulations.”

“Ah, isn’t it the story said last time?”

“At that time it was assumption, now it is conviction.”

“Fortunate. Because will be able to fight until dying.”

Adrianne indifferently said. Able to be young for life with that perfect appearance, yet fortunate because can fight until dying—.

It was sound that if the capital’s nobles who do all kinds of things to make the skin even a little taut hear would flip their eyes.

However, truly an Adrianne-like answer.

“I also will have to diligently do skin management. To not hear thief guy sound later.”

“Why does Captain Galahad hear thief guy sound?”

Adrianne’s voice rapidly became serious.

‘Why sensitive to the word thief?’

Galahad had no thought of doing the terrible act of explaining the joke.

“Nothing. Anyway worked hard.”

“Was I helpful?”

“Would degree of being helpful. You are the innovation of the magic world. Able to freely explore magic like this—. truly a dream-like time.”

At thanks full of sincerity Adrianne furrowed her face. Looking closely it was a smile.

Adrianne’s smile was truly awkward.

‘There is also a part father and daughter similar.’

“You, a little ugly when smiling.”

“Ah, is that so?”

“It was the story of cute.”

Adrianne returned to the usual expressionless. It was a woman jokes do not work on.

“How much helpful, will show directly.”

Galahad lightly waved the left hand. The magic circle engraved on the wrist spewed light.

‘Quite plausible.’

Could not change and store mana to vitality like Adrianne’s nature. That was her unique nature.

‘Not seeming unable to reach at all though—.’

There was reason and principle in everything. Adrianne’s nature would also have that principle.

Just unable to understand yet because too complex—.

‘If gathering more vitality might become.’

Anyway, now there was no method to find out.

Yet not that there is nothing gained.

"Look well."

Galahad lightly flicked his finger. A thick ice awl floated in front of Galahad.

A sharp ice awl that would hurt if pierced shot at Galahad.

“······!”

Although Adrianne hurriedly tried to step forward, Galahad shook his head. Galahad spread the left hand toward the ice awl.

Galahad’s hand was long and firm, but the ice awl was too sharp.

It seemed the hand would pierce right now.

Yet Galahad held out the hand more toward the ice awl.

Soon the ice awl and Galahad’s hand collided and—.

‘······!’

The ice awl broke as is. Although the ice awl roughly broke, a few stuck into Galahad’s hand.

“Hmm, still immature.”

Galahad muttered while shaking the numb hand.

“······What act are you doing?!”

“It is the principle obtained from you. If vitality is higher than mana, one can apply in this way.”

“Injured.”

“Because first. Originally not becoming according to theory.”

At Galahad’s calm answer Adrianne’s eyebrows furrowed.

Shot magic oneself and put the hand there. Thought is there something because confident, yet blood continuously dripped from the hand.

Galahad was rather laughing. Exactly as if enjoyable.

Adrianne could not understand at all.

“Look well. This time will definitely catch.”

Adrianne without even a gap to stop Galahad flicked his finger. Blood splashed again.

“Now caught the feel.”

While blood continuously— dripping from the hand, Galahad’s laughter became even thicker.

“Once, do treatment first and—.”

“Fine.”

Because Galahad’s refusal was cool Adrianne had no choice but to step back.

‘On earth trying to do what—.’

Galahad flicked his finger again. It was a larger ice awl than before.

The ice awl aimed at Galahad. Adrianne could not hold and stepped forward.

“Dangerous!”

“Fine. Because I am a type strong in real combat. Will you step back?”

Blood continuously dripping from the hand and a thicker ice awl than before—.

Had to block, but Galahad’s voice was firm.

The ice awl shot. The speed was faster than before.

And—.

Pasak. The ice awl that touched Galahad’s hand scattered as is.

It was not broken.

Scattered.

Exactly like magic that touched Adrianne—.

“Not bad.”

Galahad refreshingly laughed while shaking the hand where blood is flowing.

Conversely Adrianne’s face stiffened.

‘My curse—.’

Adrianne’s eyes became large as if tearing.

“Ah, just imitated. The core of your nature is not burning mana, but burning mana and storing as vitality. If only can endure it is infinite power. I just imitated the first stage.”

Galahad indifferently wiped the hand on the handkerchief. Exactly an appearance as if washing the hand.

“This a mage would even beat with a fist.”

Galahad laughed alone with a keul keul.

Then, one side became noisy.

“Kerchek! Kerchek!”

The king of the kingdom alliance caught by the soldiers was seen. That appearance was quite desperate.

“Will go first.”

Galahad moved steps.

Adrianne blankly watched that back.

‘My curse—.’

The curse Adrianne suffered for life—.

Adrianne was swept by an emotion one cannot understand, and could not move for a long time.

****

Today was the staff’s regular settlement day.

The settlement announced the performance in front of the Grand Duke every quarter.

The settlement day was originally the day the staff most dislikes.

Because the North was a fire going out, there was no way good performance comes out.

That was not the staff’s fault. Although the Grand Duke never pressed with that, still announcing poor performance in front of the Grand Duke was not an easy matter.

But this time was different.

The performance improved to a degree that cannot be compared to before, and particularly that prospect prediction was quite good.

Purely thanks to Galahad.

Positive performance was truly after a long time. Although announcing that was an exciting matter, a subtle atmosphere circulated in the meeting hall.

That cause was also Galahad.

‘On earth why leaving Farhansta!’

Theodore chewed his lips with a jalgeun jalgeun.

Farhansta was openly sticking to Galahad. How openly, to the extent a rumor circulating that Galahad is the prince of the kingdom alliance.

The staff who thought it is a blue light of relationship improvement with the kingdom alliance felt hit in the back of the head.

‘Galahad was a barbarian.’

Being of barbarian origin in the North was a considerable favorability element.

Because it was the moment the gentlemanly actions of Galahad until now change from ‘the empire’s unlucky noble’ to ‘the barbarian’s courtesy’.

In such a situation, the Grand Duke did not restrain Farhansta.

Originally the Grand Duke did not move for the most part. Because bound by the agreement.

‘Isn’t degree of saying stay still one can do!’

It was a situation where only the staff becomes anxious for nothing.

If like this Galahad completely goes over to the kingdom alliance what to do!

Actually wasn’t it fact treated disappointingly in the North.

The staff exchanged gazes. A resolute light rose on that face. It was time to stake the life.

“Although the 6th Battalion was pushed, the surrounding land became warm due to the heat coming out from the 6th Battalion. One can cultivate crops, that size is considerable. Captain Galahad not only blocked the high-rank demon race’s plan, but even improved to a better environment.”

“As the mana stone Captain Galahad promoted became legal, the remaining forces that were hiding are being caught every day.”

“The value of the mana stones sold through the temporary route Captain Galahad provided was paid. For the first time the finances entered a recovery period.”

“Captain Galahad······.”

The staff indiscriminately poured Galahad’s name. It was the only method the staff can present opinions to the Grand Duke.

“Tch.”

The Grand Duke clicked his tongue softly.

At that the staff hurriedly closed their mouths.

The Grand Duke looked around the staff. The dwarf-like staff were trembling with a badeul badeul.

The report just now was their maximum courage.

Knew their worry. Would be worrying Galahad going over to the kingdom alliance.

[No need to worry.]

‘Worry—.’

Quite an arrogant guy.

Although the guy’s steps do not matter, because if leaving the staff seemed would continue to chatter the Grand Duke opened his mouth.

“The engagement ceremony proceeds as is.”

The Grand Duke lowly said.

The staff who were trembling with a badeul badeul deeply exhaled breath.

Because if the Grand Duke says so it is so—.

Then, the door roughly opened.

“The mages of the magic tower arrived!”

The soldier loudly reported.

When heard the story that the mages of the magic tower are coming everyone was surprised.

Now the North also had no thought of excluding mages. Because knew the use of mages with Galahad.

Rather was thinking of connecting the relationship.

So responded to the magic tower’s visit request.

The mages of the magic tower were the key figures of the engagement ceremony invitation list.

Although hurriedly turned the head at the story that the mages of the magic tower arrived—.

Only the soldier was there.

“The mages?”

Theodore raised his voice even forgetting that it is in front of the Grand Duke.

“Went to Captain Galahad! In the middle of causing a disturbance saying will take Captain Galahad to each other! Among them even one who brought a carriage full of treasures······.”

The Grand Duke’s eyebrows—.

Roughly shook.
