Episode 36
EPISODE.18
For that reason, the moment Russell got into Hubert’s carriage and went inside, his mouth widened.
“and.”
An admiration that came out without me even realizing it.
Just one color and large size.
Unlike the exterior, which was neither particularly special nor noticeable, the interior was more luxurious than expected.
The seats in the front and back are incredibly soft, regardless of what material they are made of.
Unwavering comfort.
It almost reminds me of a bed made by an excellent craftsman.
‘No, actually, it might be safe to call it a bed.’
It only has the shape of a seat.
It was long enough for Russell, who was tall, to lie down and still have about a span of space left over.
In fact, as if assuming such a situation, there was bedding on one side of the seat.
‘I guess this is the wealth of the mage belonging to the Flame Tower.’
Well, since he even owns a luxurious mansion in the capital, this may not have been that great.
Russell sat down, once again impressed by Hubert’s wealth.
The feeling of your body being wrapped softly, as if to soothe the fatigue of battle.
chuck-.
Hubert sat across from him with his legs crossed, and Russell asked.
“By the way, what is your brother who should be at the Academy doing here?”
I’m sure he wouldn’t have followed me.
If that were the case, it would have been enough if I had just accompanied him instead of following him.
‘A situation where there was no time or reason to talk to me. Moreover, if you are moving in a hurry in the middle of the night like this… … .’
Perhaps there was an urgent call from someone, and-.
‘The number of people who deserve the death penalty so urgently is not large.’
just as expected. Hubert’s answer was very similar to what Russell had guessed.
“It’s because the teacher suddenly called me.”
If you had contacted me a little earlier, I could have gone up with you.
No, it doesn’t matter since we’re going together like this?
Hubert muttered that and continued speaking.
“As it was an urgent call, he was hiding his appearance and heading to the royal capital, assuming an unexpected situation.”
“Then why did you use message magic and cover your face with a robe…?” … .”
Only then did Russell understand the situation and nodded.
“That’s why.”
He answered indifferently and tilted his upper body slightly towards Russell.
He looked at his whole body with a look of concern and said.
“First of all, I’m glad you weren’t hurt. “The priest was just attacked by that cultist.”
“I know.”
“… … ?”
“Maybe they were targeting me. Not sure, but the odds are against it. No, I have to raise my arm a little higher than that… … .”
Why do you think like that?
Russell explained his guess to Hubert, who was staring at him with a look like,
After all the not-so-long explanations.
“hmm.”
After drooling for a moment, he straightens his leaning body.
“That’s a reasonable guess. “Although the most important thing was missing.”
“The most important thing?”
“Why did he attack the priest? What is his motive?”
Russell flinched and trembled at Hubert’s added words.
Because he spoke as if he knew his motives.
“Do you know why?”
“Nine times out of ten, it’s probably because of you, Master.”
“If you are Master… … .”
Russell, who was thinking about things related to Daria Snowwhite, soon showed an expression of understanding.
“okay.”
Before returning, a passage I read in a book recording her life came to mind.
-Daria Snowwhite when she was young was literally like an active volcano.
She did not hesitate to confront the cultists rooted in the dark, found their base, and without any hesitation… … .
‘Everything was completely destroyed.’
The cultist who was destroyed at that time.
It was completely understandable if their resentment extended to herself, her student.
“Of course, he’s a cultist, but he’s probably not that big of a deal.”
“… … ?”
“If he was a truly big-time cult member, he wouldn’t have acted rashly like this.”
It’s probably just a little prankster’s doing to impress those guys.
As Hubert added, there were just a lot of undead.
It wasn’t that great.

‘Most of them were low-level undead, and the materials used were the bones of ordinary people or the corpses of low-level monsters.’
If the passengers had not been held hostage, they would have broken through and escaped already.
He also knew that fact, so he made a war of quantity by trapping passengers.
“His skills aren’t that great, but he’s cruel with his hands and knows how to make some moves.”
“That’s what most cultists are like. “It’s both mean and mean.”
He snorted and sneered with contempt.
It’s as if he’s already been involved with cultists several times.
“The problem is where the priest’s whereabouts were leaked.”
He, who was speechless, tilted his head.
“Has there ever been any discussion within the academy about your actions since graduation?”
At that question, Russell shook his head without even a single thought.
“no. doesn’t exist. execution.”
There was no one I could call a friend within the academy. However, his whereabouts could have been exposed.
If the whereabouts were reported -.
“Except for replying to the Flame Tower that I would go up after graduation… … .”
Russell pursed his lips.
Depending on how you interpret the words he just said, it could have been seen as if he was saying that information had leaked from within the Flame Tower.
But fortunately, Hubert did not take issue with the remark.
“That could be possible.”
Rather, he added positively.
“If we were to discuss other possibilities – is it an assumption that we have been following each other since the graduation ceremony?”
An information leaker within the Flame Tower.
Depending on the situation, no matter how many times you consider it, the latter would be much better.
In any case, it was clear that this was an issue that needed to be dealt with seriously.
“They experienced failure once by making a bold move, so they won’t make a rash move for a while. But be careful.”
A warning that cultists are persistent and can strike again at any time.
“I will engrave it.”
Russell answered with a hardened expression and thought to himself.
‘Of course, we won’t be able to move with caution forever.’
No matter how much you hide yourself, there will definitely be a limit.
In that case, it would have been better to find a more reliable method.
The sure method mentioned here is -.
‘I guess it’s about improving your skills. To be more clear, it would be reaching the 5th circle, the level of a mage.’
If the 4th circle is a level that those who are born with quite outstanding talent can reach.
‘5, 6 circles. The level of a mage is a level that can only be achieved through the talent of a product, hard work, and even a little bit of luck.’
But that’s why it’s worth the walk.
Because I had a mission and a reward that could replace luck and talent.
‘All that remains is the painstaking effort.’
I don’t know how long it will take.
However, it is much more worth walking than living in fear because of cultists for a long time.
That determination fluttered through Russell’s eyes.
‘Rather than running away, did you choose to fight?’
I was able to read Russell’s tenacity and perseverance over the years as he did not despair of his punishment and continued to challenge himself.
Hubert smiled happily as he read the signs of change.
‘But now it’s probably time to rest first.’
Then he spoke to Russell.
“Then, let’s get some rest today. Priests. “You probably haven’t had much experience using magic without stopping for several hours, so you must have been mentally fatigued.”
To the coachman, as soon as he leaves the mountain path. After telling her to stop the carriage for a moment and go to sleep.
He, too, began to spread out the bedding that was in one corner, as if he were about to go to bed.
Russell followed suit and got ready for bed, tucking himself into the blanket.
A little time before going to sleep.
‘But what on earth was that?’
I once again reflected on the strange phenomenon I experienced during the battle.
‘Just as I was about to overdo it and use magic, the amount of magic suddenly… … .’
I thought about it carefully, but nothing in particular stuck out to me.
I wonder if the same thing would happen if I recreated a situation similar to that time.
Of course, that didn’t mean the attack or hostages had to be the same.
What Russell is trying to do is image training.
All you needed was the concentration to take what you imagined seriously.
And if, through that process, we succeed in reproducing and understanding what happened then -.
‘That too can be used as a secret weapon.’
Blaze Lance and Call Lightning.
In addition to the two magics that are far outside the circle’s standards, there is one more card that can be played on top of them.
Of course, I couldn’t try it right away.
Currently, I am riding in the same carriage as Hubert.
If I succeeded even if just by chance, I had no excuse.
‘I guess it’s only possible to try it after you’re alone.’
Thinking like that, Russell closed his eyes.
There must have been some mental fatigue, and I started to feel drowsy quickly.
‘Prepare for a long battle… … , I need to consistently practice increasing my mental capacity.’
Russell’s eyes, unable to withstand the onslaught of water, blinked for a few seconds and then slowly closed.

Tap, tap, tap-.
The carriage carrying the two people crossed the castle wall and entered, and the scenery of the royal capital was reflected outside the window.
‘It’s not much different now or a few years later.’
Maybe it’s because I’ve only seen it once, but I feel less emotional than when I first came up to the royal capital.
Hubert asked him, adjusting his clothes and putting on his robe.
“What are you going to do now?”
The question asks whether you should go straight to the Flame Pagoda or unpack first.
The answer to that question was already prepared.
“First of all, today I plan to go to the house that my brother gave me first.”
He was scheduled to arrive at the royal capital in about two days.
However, perhaps because a luxury carriage was used, the period was extended by about a day and a half.
“Then let’s say goodbye here for now.”
Saying that, Hubert opened the carriage door.
He said as he blended in with the people passing by outside.
“I will go to the Flame Tower like this, and you can take the carriage and go to the mansion.”
That’s how I broke up with Hubert.
“Hey!”
Immediately after, the sound of the driver turning is heard.
Since he was a coachman hired by Hubert, I didn’t know that he already knew the location of the mansion.
If you sit still like this, it won’t be long before you reach Hubert’s mansion.
but.
‘There are places to go before that.’
That’s why Russell opened the window connected to the coach seat.
asked the driver who was driving the horse.
“Before we go to the mansion, can we stop by one place first?”
“It’s not difficult to change direction, but where…” … .”
In response to the coachman’s question, Russell opened his mouth, staring in one direction with a meaningful gaze.
At the end of the line of sight is a building in the shape of a square pyramid.
“Please go to the Rubrium Museum first.”
The royal capital was the Rubrium Museum.
