Chapter 117

Old Men

“Kerchek, let’s return. The kingdom alliance needs you. No, I.”

Galahad furrowed his eyes while looking at Farhansta full of wrinkles.

Farhansta knew that Galahad approached receiving the Information Bureau mission. Yet clung.

‘Seems the kingdom alliance is quite precarious.’

Originally Galahad was thinking of making the empire strong, and preparing for the demon race’s king.

But failed. And that miserably to the extent of being chased to the North—.

There might be dawn or the demon race in the empire’s leadership.

Now the situation changed.

The kingdom alliance must not collapse.

“What matter in the kingdom alliance?”

Farhansta’s aged eyes trembled with a pareureu—.

“After Fernando’s death the situation rapidly changed. The kingdom alliance is in the middle of quarreling divided into the side of actively opposing the empire and the side of just passing. There are also kingdoms saying will withdraw from the alliance—.”

Suddenly started opposition and division—. it was a method familiar to Galahad.

‘It is the Information Bureau’s doing.’

Is the intention of completely dividing the kingdom alliance.

Galahad’s mission was appropriate division of the kingdom alliance. Yet now the Information Bureau seemed wanting perfect division of the kingdom alliance.

‘Strange, sending me to the North also so—.’

Galahad softly sighed.

‘Is it that will eat the continent.’

The empire had tried continental unification even before. Ridiculously that was blocked as the Demon War occurred.

After the Demon War it was the first the empire moving so in earnest.

‘Not good.’

The dissolution of the kingdom alliance one had to block.

“Kerchek, how should one do?”

“Fine. There is a method.”

“Oh, Kerchek. Display the wisdom shining like a star—.”

Farhansta held Galahad’s hand and pleaded.

The method to block the dissolution of the kingdom alliance was simple.

“One has to remind the reason the kingdom alliance was created.”

“The reason of the kingdom alliance? Are you saying the empire?”

“Yes, it is the empire. Why was the kingdom alliance created. Isn’t it the kingdoms that felt crisis in the empire gathering.”

Farhansta blinked his eyes.

Crisis was opportunity. The engagement ceremony was a very clear crisis. In other words, it was the meaning of considerable opportunity.

That opportunity—.

“Let’s give tension once.”

Galahad fully raised the corners of his mouth.

“Tension?”

“Degree of appropriate tension that the empire might wage war is enough.”

“How? Wise Kerchek, explain a bit more.”

“The imperial princess is coming to my engagement ceremony.”

Farhansta’s aged eyes flashed. The beard trembled with a padeul padeul. The momentum stretched strand by strand.

Quite robust, Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

“It is not the imperial princess who killed Fernando.”

“Then who killed Fernando—!”

Anger was full in Farhansta’s voice.

“It is the 3rd Imperial Prince.”

Farhansta’s eyes became large. The pupils shook. Agedness rose again.

At the 3rd Imperial Prince’s name Farhansta’s eyes rapidly lost light. Because the 3rd Imperial Prince unlike the imperial princess the foundation is certain, and that force was also strong—.

Galahad did not mock Farhansta. Farhansta was not full of fear, but wise.

“I am thinking of taking revenge for Fernando.”

It was not a lie. Fernando was a guy quite to the liking. To the extent of raising on the reason one has to process the 3rd Imperial Prince.

“Ah ah, Kerchek—. will that be possible? The opponent is the 3rd Imperial Prince.”

Farhansta’s voice became more desperate.

“It is possible.”

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth and added the words.

“If you help me.”

Farhansta’s eyes shook. Agedness and belief, anger of losing a child competed strength.

Among them what won—.

“How should one do?”

It was anger that held hands with belief.

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth while looking at Farhansta who became clear.

“Catch the 3rd Imperial Prince’s collar once.”

Catching the 3rd Imperial Prince’s collar—. the 3rd Imperial Prince would rather welcome. Because the 3rd Imperial Prince was eagerly aiming at the pretext of war with the kingdom alliance.

‘No, the empire still does not move.’

Galahad was certain the empire would not move.

The Information Bureau has not yet succeeded. So the empire would not move.

‘Because the kingdom alliance has not perfectly dissolved.’

Along with—.

‘There is a weapon to catch the 3rd Imperial Prince on this side.’

The conditions were quite fine.

No, quite good.

“Good, if together with Kerchek who possesses the star’s wisdom and courage what would there be to fear!”

At Farhansta’s robust voice Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

“Instead it is together.”

Then—.

“Arrogant kid! Are you here!”

“Get out of the way! This white guy! Didn’t I say I am first!”

A stubborn voice was heard from afar.

“I have something to do.”

Galahad lightly stood.

Although Farhansta urgently tried to catch, Galahad was already after leaving the seat.

“Kerchek—.”

Farhansta hurriedly stood.

It was not such a time.

“Kerchek!”

*

“Arrogant guy, grew a lot!”

“Now cannot call kid!”

The two old men chattered in pairs.

The old man wearing a white robe was the elder of the white magic tower Edilim, and the old man wearing a red robe was the elder of the red magic tower Krajan.

“The elders rather shriveled more.”

“Seeing arrogant it is Galahad!”

“The arrogant kid grew and became an arrogant long-legged!”

They were old men who tenaciously clung from when Galahad was in the academy.

“Look at those. Young guys already from staff to necklace—. wrapped the body tightly with magic tools. Is that a mage? A clothes hanger?!”

“Because like that the recent magic world is that shape! If gathering doing dog sounds like whose staff is more excellent!”

The reason the old men particularly clung to Galahad was because Galahad was a mage who does not use magic tools.

The two were orthodox who firmly refuse magic tools. Although there were times tempted at the two’s proposal—.

‘Eventually, back room old men.’

The empire’s magic towers changed to magic tool production factories long ago.

In a cool place if just fondling a long club one receives the best treatment, who would come outside.

Magic tools were the flow of the era.

It was an era where everyone decides the path with magic tools. Galahad who graduated the academy as the youngest without magic tools was no different from a treasure to them.

“What matter up to here.”

At Galahad’s question the two old men exchanged gazes.

“Heard chased to the North by the cunning guys who just fondle magic tools! To think such a lamentable matter occurred!”

“Stupid guys not recognizing the real! Rather chasing out! Cannot tolerate! If like this magic will be buried!”

The two seemed thinking that Galahad coming to the North is because entangled in the magic tower’s conspiracy.

Did not particularly deny. There might be relation.

“Let’s go together with me! I will smash the magic tower lord’s head! I will promise the upper layer!”

“No! Let’s go together with me! The red magic tower is a pathetic magic tower that only makes the heater magic tool!”

“What?! This damn old man?!”

The old men noisily fought again. Galahad furrowed his eyes while looking at the small old men’s fight.

‘The conditions became a little weaker than before.’

Although there is also that there is no Galahad’s career after academy graduation, it seemed there is also that the old men’s power reduced in the meantime.

“Our blue magic tower promises the best treatment! It is the next magic tower lord seat! The wage also double!”

From behind a youth who looked shameless raised his voice.

“Oh, next magic tower lord. Interesting.”

It was quite a strong condition. Although the blue magic tower that fell from the 4 great magic towers pushed by the twilight magic tower, the grades were not bad.

The two elders simultaneously turned their heads. The youth hurriedly hid.

“Once let’s hear.”

At Galahad’s words the two old men fully furrowed their faces.

“If dislike go.”

The two old men moved their eyes with a beonggeot.

“Arrogant guy! Truly arrogant!”

“Arrogant is still the same.”

The old men roughly shouted. Ridiculously the corners of that mouth were up.

“Enough!”

“Right! You can be arrogant!”

The two old men obediently stepped back.

Galahad looked around the mages.

‘The number is quite many. Because of the twilight magic tower?’

The number of mages was more than expected. It seemed the monopolizing twilight magic tower influenced.

‘Among the magic towers twilight is almost 1 strong. The remaining three fall a bit.’

Not for nothing Galahad counted the twilight magic tower lord as a grand mage candidate.

The twilight magic tower lord was a genius. The century’s genius who creates magic matching his own taste—.

It was a unique genius who put the twilight magic tower into the 4 great magic towers with that inherent talent, and made the twilight magic tower into an unrivaled 1 strong.

‘Now—.’

Galahad grew quite after coming to the North.

Also learned the magic of the destroyed magic tower, and even loaded high density mana in the blood. There was also the demon race’s blood.

‘Would be doable.’

Galahad flicked his finger with a tok tok.

However, what is important now was the gathered mages.

“Come, I am Galahad. The academy’s youngest entrant, and the youngest graduate. The only mage who can compete with the twilight magic tower lord.”

At Galahad’s introduction a few made mockery.

There was also a guy who openly laughed. It was the youth who said the blue magic tower.

“Which bastard laughed?!”

“Again that bastard! Blue guy!”

“You were hit less!”

The two old men ran at the blue youth. Indiscriminately swung that staff.

The youth could not even block and was hit as is. It was an appearance closer to a stick holder than a mage.

‘The eccentric nature is still the same.’

“Stop.”

At Galahad’s low words the old men fell off.

For mana stone sales the magic tower was the main customer. The white and red that are the 4 great magic towers were appropriate.

The problem—.

‘That the old men’s antipathy regarding mana stones is still the same.’

It was not a big problem. Already prepared the countermeasure.

No, not countermeasure level.

‘Would become a historic day.’

The corners of Galahad’s mouth rose.

****

“The eyes are still bright.”

The elder of the white magic tower Edilim satisfactorily nodded.

Actually there was quite a worrying mind.

It was Galahad who disappeared after academy graduation. And suddenly appeared in the North, so had no choice but to be concerned.

However, Galahad seen after a long time was more excellent than their expectation.

“Still—. Galahad became a more excellent mage. Don’t you see that momentum? Old man.”

“That I also know! This bright red old man! Even though eyes are not good pretending to know!”

Because the last time seen was academy times, it was when Galahad had not yet escaped the young appearance.

The grown Galahad was a completely different figure. They with sparse beards could know the moment seeing.

‘Must take.’

Edilim’s eyes became firm.

“The detailed, will talk going inside.”

Galahad naturally turned back.

“Do not rub! This bright red guy!”

“I came first!”

Edilim hurriedly followed.

At the place arrived following Galahad there was something unexpected.

That—.

“······Magic tower?”

Although confused for a moment because too crude, it was clearly a magic tower. Even the name was written.

‘The Noon magic tower—.’

Never heard the story that there is a magic tower in the North.

‘Illegal magic tower?’

The empire’s punishment was particularly strict on magic. If degree of illegal magic tower it was clear all the necks of related ones would fly,

“Heo··· did receive permission?”

Even that fiery Krajan was a serious matter to the extent of asking while stammering.

“Similar. The important is not that.”

Similar? At the subtle answer moved the mouth with a beonggeot. Illegal magic tower not important—.

Knew Galahad is arrogant. Such arrogance was a rightful right because there is skill.

But illegal magic tower was a different trajectory story.

“Ah, bring.”

Galahad gestured to the people around the entrance of the magic tower.

They were ones who put on robes, that appearance was closer to miners than mages. Even the eyes were dark and sunken. A gloomy feeling was full.

What they brought was mana stones of good quality even roughly seeing.

“Do everyone know the North’s mana stones are good quality? The North’s low-grade mana stones are better quality than the center’s mid-grade mana stones.”

Galahad said while shaking the mana stone.

At the flashing mana stone the mages’ eyes shone.

In the capital mana stones were something one cannot obtain even giving money. Such mana stones rolling around like some stone—. there was even a guy drooling.

Contrary to them the old men’s eyes fully furrowed.

“Mana stone?!”

“Are my eyes proper now?”

“Correct! That is a mana stone!”

Wondered what did while disappeared, is it that just fondled mana stones in the North!

“Noooom! How can one rot that blessed talent!”

“Doing mana stone sales or something in the North!”

“Became a merchant all! It is the shame of magic!”

The two old men consecutively shouted.

Galahad was the last hope in the rotting magic world. Such Galahad doing the act of selling mana stones they most hate—.

Anger rose to the head end.

The two old men exchanged gazes.

‘Shall we make come to senses a bit?’

‘Good. Because clear the head melted!’

The two simultaneously moved mana. Mana fully raged. Fierce to the extent the surrounding snow rising.

Other mages were surprised and stepped back.

Yet Galahad raised the corners of his mouth and waited.

Exactly as if try—.

“Arrogant!”

“Arrogant!”

The two old men’s mouth areas twisted.

Was thinking of giving fear a bit so one can come to senses. The old men quickly chanted the spell. Even though no staff the two’s magic was in an instant.

Soon huge fire and sharp wind took place.

Admiration burst from the mages’ mouths.

“Guiding juniors to the correct path also—.”

“It is an adult’s virtue.”

Galahad was a precious guy. The old men maximally exerted concentration so Galahad does not get hurt.

Soon the fierce fire that was shaped flew toward Galahad.

The sharp wind further raised the fire like a blacksmith’s bellows. Not simply raising only the size. Shaved that branch and shaped the fire.

Soon a huge dragon made of fire took place in the air.

“How such magic without staff—!”

Astonishment burst from the mages’ mouths.

It was sound not knowing. Because no staff, one can use such huge magic. A mage relying on tools could not go far.

Because of that highly valued Galahad—.

‘Fondling mana stones or something!’

The old men’s faces fully furrowed.

“As expected cool.”

Galahad purely admired while looking at the magic.

Following held out the left hand toward the huge fire dragon.

‘That—!’

Was thinking of only giving fear, yet coming out so—.

The old men’s eyes became serious.

But could not reverse the shot magic.

‘Block! It is the red magic tower’s treasure! Must not get hurt!’

‘What red magic tower—! It is the white magic tower!’

The old men quickly moved mana. Was thinking of reducing the power by scattering magic consecutively.

However, Galahad rather came forward.

‘Crazy!’

‘Went mad!’

Galahad’s left hand touched the huge fire dragon.

The fire dragon seemed would burn Galahad right now.

Then—.

The fire dragon that touched the hand scattered as is.

It was not that broke with magic.

‘The magic disappeared?’

Disappeared as if did not exist.

At the unbelievable appearance the old men’s eyes became large as if tearing.

Heavy silence took place.

Galahad fully enjoyed their astonishment and—.

“Discovered a new nature of mana.”

Indifferently said.

A new nature of mana—. at truly arrogant words the mages snorted.

Yet the old men who were raising heat became quiet.

The old men exchanged gazes. At the astonishment that took place in each other’s eyes, realized what just heard is not a lie.

A new nature of mana—.

The old men competed and ran to Galahad.

“Let’s go to the white magic tower! Will give the magic tower lord! Will smash even the guy’s head and sit!”

“No! If discovered a new nature of mana it is enough! Did say the Noon magic tower? Need an elder? I am appropriate!”

“What sound is the crazy old man making now!”

“If not doing get out! A new nature of mana! This is the scene of history! Will be together with the remaining life history!”

“······I do elder better! This guy knows nothing!”

“What?! I do not need wage!”

“I will give wage!”

“Crazy old man?!”

As the two elders of the 4 great magic towers clung to Galahad—.

The atmosphere became subtle.

"I double!!"

****

That Adrianne went to look for Galahad was because of the staff’s bizarre urging that ‘Galahad is dangerous’.

A mage came out from the magic tower, why is Galahad dangerous—.

The question was solved the moment arrived at Galahad.

“Get out of the way! The barbarian’s star, Kerchek decided to be together with the kingdom alliance!”

“Daring barbarian to the Noon magic tower lord! What is this old man! Fall off!”

“It is the king of the kingdom alliance.”

“The king of the kingdom alliance? If king does the staff not enter?”

“Mu··· what!”

At the three old men raising voices as if competing while sticking to Galahad—.

‘Popularity is quite many.’

Adrianne’s eyebrows rose.
