Episode 19
EPISODE.10
A puddle of water formed when the ice on the floor melted. The water that flowed out from there dampened the robe and hair.
It was some time later that Russell woke up.
“Umm… … .”
Russell opened his eyes with a low sigh and slowly stood up.
Then, I looked around carefully with eyes that were not fully aware of the situation.
A puddle of water, melted and shattered fragments of the golem, and.
‘A tall altar.’
Aside from that, as I began to see various things, my memories began to come back little by little.
‘For sure… … .’
I cleared the mission, and as a reward, I received something called the ‘Horn of the Forgotten King’.
and… … .
‘A huge amount of magical power rushed from that horn.’
He had lost consciousness while trying to control his magic.
After my memory returned, I tried to move my head, but I couldn’t see the horn approaching me.
Instead, what Russell was able to confirm was the enormous increase in the amount of magical power.
‘her.’
Thanks to consuming a lot of mana in the battle with the ice golems, Russell’s mana circle was almost empty.
But why?
I simply fainted and woke up, but the circle that should have been empty was completely full.
The amount is too large to be said to have recovered naturally.
It’s not just about recovering magical power.
‘The amount of magic power has increased?’
The increased horsepower is about 30% of the total horsepower.
‘It’s not enough to make the 4th circle, though.’
Even so, it is by no means a small amount.
That’s why Russell clenched his fists.
‘It seems like it absorbed the magic power flowing from the horn… … .’
Even before I fainted, I desperately used the Wizard Body and Overlord to control my magical power.
It wouldn’t be surprising even if some of that magic was absorbed.
It was after checking the message that had been pushed to one side that Russell confirmed the details.
‘That’s how it happened… … .’
As expected, it was true that he had absorbed some of the magical power contained in the horn.
What is surprising is that this magic power was not the magic power of the entire horn.
‘The remaining magic power is awakened at the moment of awakening… … .’
I couldn’t figure out when the moment of awakening referred to here was or what it meant.
That wasn’t the only income gained.
‘Advanced understanding of flame properties.’
Although the figure was now only 0.7%, there was a clear difference from the intermediate level as the level increased.
Grumble-!
As soon as he thought, a huge arrow of flame appeared along Russell’s grasp.
It was Russell’s favorite 3rd circle magic, Fire Bolt.
However, it feels like it has a different level of firepower than the fire bolts I made before.
If you look at the power itself, it could be compared to Fire Arrow.
Casting speed has also been drastically shortened.
‘Without any complicated process, the magic can be manifested simply by imagining it and saying its name in your mind.’
If I were to exaggerate a bit, the casting speed is close to that of a chantless chant.
If it’s like this… … .
As soon as that thought occurred to me, Russell released the fire bolt.
Then, a new spell was cast.
Russell Raymond.
Originality.
“Blaze Lance.”
As it is a difficult magic, it takes quite a bit longer to manifest than Fire Bolt.
Still, it was clear that it was easier than before.
‘The horsepower consumption has also decreased a lot… … .’
Even so, it still required a large amount of magical power, which was excessive for a 3rd circle magic.
‘The magic power is being sucked out.’
Not just at the moment when magic is manifested, but even now when it is maintained.
It was like a flower pot.
The effect is reversed and the fire moisture absorbs mana.
‘Should I say this is a swamp, not a fire basin?’
Anyway.
“Tsk.”
Russell clicked his tongue and disarmed his blaze lance and muttered something regretful.
“It would be difficult to use it often.”
If you really need to use it, it should be used as a secret move or special move that can turn the situation around.

Anyway, I was certain that I gained quite a few things through this mission.
‘I guess I’ll have to get out of here soon.’
I looked at the common walls again, but there was no door ready to go outside.
Instead, purple light was seen flowing from the altar where the horn was placed.
“hmm.”
It was magic.
Purple magic power swirling in a circle.
The moment I saw it, I knew what magic it was.
“Warp Gate.”
One of the products of magical technology that allows movement through space.
I’ve never actually used it, but since it was so famous, there were pictures in the book, so it wasn’t difficult to recognize it.
It seemed like he was probably telling me to get out through this.
‘Maybe the way we came in was just a warp gate in the shape of a door.’
With that in mind, the moment I put one foot on the warp gate.
Paaaa-!
Purple magical energy enveloped Russell’s entire body.
Then, the positions of heaven and earth in his eyes were reversed and the world turned upside down.
Pot!
.
.
“Wow… … .”
Russell, who came out of the gate, stumbled on the spot and covered his mouth.
I felt motion sick, as if I had traveled a long distance on a boat.
The same feeling as when I first passed through the door and entered the cavity.
“They say the biggest drawback of warp gates is motion sickness… … .”
I understood why he said that.
Just stand there with your mouth closed for a moment.
Feeling his senses calming down to some extent, Russell slowly raised his head.
He confirmed the location of the place he escaped from.
The salty wind tickled the tip of my nose, and then the high castle walls and the long line of people lined up below them came into view.
A sight I saw once before heading to Pompeo Volcano.
Russell quietly blurted out the city’s name.
“Maldiva City.”
A resort town with pure white sand and blue sea was in front of Russell.
* * *
“hmm.”
Russell entered the city and walked down the street, shaking his head.
Several tourists pass by around him, giving him stinging looks.
That’s because Russell’s appearance was a mess right now.
Hair scorched here and there by flame magic, and traces of intense battles remaining all over the robe.
I cleaned it up roughly using clean magic, but it wasn’t in a state where it could be cleaned up that well.
That’s why I walked with my body shaky so as not to hurt other people.
It seemed like I needed to stay at an inn and wash up a bit.
‘I need to buy a new set of clothes.’
To do that, you must first head to the city where the inns are gathered.
As a tourist destination, most of Maldiva’s inns were located on the coast or in the center of the city.
A commercial district targeting tourists emerged naturally along the surrounding area.
“Come on, we have delicious waffles! “Buy some waffles!”
“We are selling grilled mudflat abalone, a specialty of Maldiva City! Buy fresh tidal flat abalone at a low price!”
Russell, who was walking through the crowd of merchants touting customers, suddenly stopped in place.
Beyond the merchants who capture tourists to sell their wares.
A blonde lady with a familiar face was walking among them at a leisurely pace.
It was unknown whether it had been changed with magic or otherwise dyed, but Russell knew very well that the lady’s original hair color was white, not blonde.
‘Why is he here… … .’
Was I surprised to find him staring blankly?
The noble lady smiled cheerfully.
He took long strides towards him.
Just like the day we first met, he took out a candy from his sleeve and handed it to me.
“We’re spherical, right?”
The difference from the previous encounter was that the candy taken out this time was a colorful and colorful lollipop.
Not a sweet lollipop -.
“We meet again. “He’s a talented kid from Walkerhill Academy.”
-Is it because it’s cinnamon candy?
“Well, I meet the lord of the Flame Pagoda.”
“I told you to relax and think of me as your grandmother… … Giggling. “You still seem uncomfortable.”
It was an incongruously frivolous laugh, but it was a being with a dignity and power that could not be resisted.
The owner of the Flame Pagoda.
Daria Snowwhite.
She was standing in front of Russell.
.
.
After a while.
Russell and Daria sat across from each other at a nearby cafe.
“okay. “I guess I came out to experience the wide world during my vacation.”
She nods as she listens to Russell’s story while eating a cake filled with sugar crafts called angel hair.
“For a wizard, there is nothing better than broadening the world he can see. You made a pretty wise choice. “It’s a child.”
Then, with playful eyes, he swept Russell’s whole body and thought.
‘That’s a lie. It must have come for another purpose.’
Thanks to returning to the past, Russell has lived a longer life than appears on the outside.
However, Daria lived a life that was twice that of Russell’s.
He was also the owner of the Flame Tower.
From her perspective, it wouldn’t have been that difficult to see through Russell’s lies.
Of course, I didn’t bother to question him.
I don’t know what the purpose was, but it seemed like it had already been achieved, and there was no sign of anything particularly sinister or evil.
‘Hoo.’
In fact, there was something else that caught Daria’s attention.
‘It means I’ve grown again.’
At their first meeting, she noticed the peculiarity of Russell’s magical power.
Thanks to this, she was able to notice Russell’s growth that Hubert and others could not notice.
‘Only half a year has passed, and this is the third circle in that short period of time. Plus, it’s surprisingly stable magic power.’
I can assure you that it would be difficult to find an opponent within the same 3 circles.
‘If we only look at the skills we have, even if we compete with the wizards of the 4th circle, we won’t be far behind.’
Maybe some of them would even get eaten.
Russell’s skills were as great as they were.
Of course, this is only an evaluation based on facts that appear on the surface.
When we entered actual combat rather than practice, there were often cases where we were unable to use all of our skills.
‘It could be because they’re overly nervous, lack of experience, or any number of other reasons.’
Even so, it was clear that from Daria’s perspective, Russell seemed like a rough diamond that still needed to be polished.
‘How far can this child utilize his skills?’
I was intrigued.
I wanted to try it out.
Thinking like that, Daria’s eyes sparkled.
He quietly raised the corners of his mouth.
‘Now that I think about it, there was a good opportunity.’
It was then.
Russell, who had only been talking about himself until now, opened his mouth to her.
“But, by the way, I never thought I would meet the owner of the tower in Maldiva.”
Rattling.
Daria put down the dessert spoon she was holding.
He widened his gaze and looked around the area lightly.
“It is not a well-known fact, but the city of Maldiva is my hometown.”
“Taplord’s hometown?”
“okay. That’s why I come here every summer for a vacation.”
It was not difficult to guess why she did not mention the city of Maldiva as her hometown.
‘The position of Leaftapju is a position where a lot of attention is focused on every small action.’
Those gazes may not necessarily have been of the unwelcome kind.
Since she was also a human being, she would need a place where she could rest comfortably and away from those gazes.
‘Hometown must be that kind of place for the owner of the tower.’
That’s probably why he came to me after changing his hair to blonde.
“But, there are some guys who dare to do something very scandalous in my hometown.”
In an instant, Daria’s voice changed subtly.
There was a slight but subtle anger in Ye’s tone of voice.
“A human trafficking ship that dares to stay at the port of my hometown. “They seem like they have lost their fear.”
“Human… … “A sales line?”
Although it varies from country to country, there were still many countries on the continent where slavery remained.
Human trafficking ships were ships that traveled the seas to supply slaves to those countries.
‘Most of them are pirates.’
The problem was that human trafficking was strictly prohibited by law within Endymion, their home country.
‘Not only does it allow human trafficking, but Endymion does not even allow human trafficking ships to dock.’
In Endymion,
After all, it is a ship that is going to stay at the port of Maldiva, Daria’s hometown.
“Even though their livers are swollen, they are still swollen.”
“Rather, they might have tried to take advantage of that fact. In fact, it was only recently that this information came in.”
The shadow under the lamp is darker.
Daria seemed to want to say that.
“That’s why. “Child, will you help me a little?”
At that moment, the mission window appeared.
