Helmut

Episode 307

6. Green Cana.

Rodril’s Green Cana, Green Cana’s Rodril. Needless to say, the two proper nouns have been known for a long time as inseparable ones.

Green Cana is a small, seemingly ordinary village located at the foot of a mountain range.

However, it was a well-known spirit village among wizards who studied spirit magic.

The most powerful earth spirit on earth was there. Instead of lending his power to the spirit wizard, the spirit with his will wanted him to live near the mountain range, the source of his power, and the spirit wizard complied and took up residence there.

The village where the descendants of the spirit wizard live is Green Cana, and the spirit wizard’s name is Rodril. Rodrile later became the family name of his descendants.

Rodrill family. It was a family secretly known as a prestigious family among wizards.

Not because of the honor or influence of the family as a noble, but because of the unique nature of spirit magic that is passed down genetically.

Sian, who gave a brief explanation on the way, narrowed his eyes.

“So, my name is Sian Rodrile. They say that the earth spirit our family made a contract with has the power to destroy the country. So, for fear of being targeted by a specific country or temple, the people of Rodri hide themselves. “Now that I’ve graduated, I can say it.”

“Are you going around pretending to be normal about something like that?”

Asuka, who had been close friends at the academy but only found out about Xian today, grumbled.

It was an unwritten rule not to ask them about each other.

If you want to hear other people’s secrets, you must be ready to reveal your own. In the meantime, neither of them were ready.

“Pretending to be normal. First of all, being a spirit wizard is not an ordinary thing. “And you?”

“What am I?”

Asuka was hot. Now he was the only one among them who had a secret.

But I still didn’t want to talk about it. Because unlike his siblings, he has no sense of belonging or attachment to his own household.

‘I graduated from the academy, and now it’s time to live my own life.’

Mom, you can visit us sometimes and spend time together. It seems like you’ve adapted to life pretty well now.

“I hid it, but you hid it, Helmut hid it, Area hid it, we all hid it, right? At least it was widely known that Charlotte was the Grand Duchess of Linosa, wasn’t it?”

Charlotte widened her eyes as if she had no idea.

“Am I known?”

“Yes, you also participated in the Academy competition. Your classmates are not as loud-mouthed as you think. It was also known here and there through the Linosa guys. So no one dared approach you. “Even though you were quite popular, you almost never received confessions, right?”

“That’s right. About two or three people per semester?” “… … “Is there more than you think?”

“There were more royals and high-ranking nobles at Greta Academy than I thought.”

It is said that only those who can handle the situation on their own attacked them. Asuka, who was listening from the side, frowned.

“What good is this girl who speaks so stiffly and is so boring? “If I were to spar with my boyfriend or something, he would beat me up mercilessly.”

Xian answered simply.

“Because they probably have the same eyes as you.”

“What nonsense!”

“Why did you beat up your boyfriend? “I will do well.”

Charlotte responded seriously. Asuka’s mouth suddenly closed.

‘I have grown in size, but my heart is still like a child. ‘So when will I slow down?’

Xian sighed while looking at him and changed the topic as if he was being generous.

“So, Charlotte, what did you do with the academy? “You still have a year left.”

“I took a leave of absence. Since I met the requirements for early graduation anyway, I only need to attend for one more semester. No matter when. It doesn’t matter if you don’t graduate. “For me, an environment and learning environment where I can compete and work hard are important, not a diploma.”

It was a remark befitting the grand princess of Rinosa.

Certainly, the Department of Swordsmanship places more emphasis on skill than other departments. As long as you have the skills, an academy diploma is nothing.

So, there were quite a few people who didn’t go to the end and dropped out.

“Okay, what are you?”

Sian glanced back at Helmut.

“Anyway, we didn’t know each other very well. The same goes for Helmut. So, I thought I should tell my story too.”

How can friendship be maintained even without knowing this much about each other? It was a unique and special relationship in its own way.

But one thing was certain. Even though four years have passed, they all still feel the same way about each other as they did when they were attending the academy.

Shallow and deep, light and heavy. As if they were woven together by a thread called fate.

A relationship made at Greta Academy. No one knew how that relationship would progress in the future.

But even though it was a difficult road, it was clear that no one would want to deviate from it.

“My story will be a special story too.”

Sian looked straight ahead and smiled. It was a gentle yet playful smile.

As you will soon find out, Green Cana is no ordinary village.

Just as it was unusual from the beginning, this village where spirit wizards made their home had something different about it, even if it wasn’t just spirits pulling carriages and plowing the fields.

“There’s a village beyond.”

We’re almost at our destination. We came to this area because Antiol opened the way.

The distance wasn’t that far, and moving through the passage he opened was easier than using movement magic.

Antiol seemed to know about a village called Green Cana.

“I have visited that village several times for research purposes. Although it’s already been decades. “Sian, I know about your parents too.”

“is it so? “Then will you go together?”

“No, I have to look at the temple’s dynamics and sacred barrier for the time being. “No matter what, post-processing is important.”

With a calm face, he told Area to contact him if necessary, then closed the passage and disappeared.

Heike also did not join us because he had some business to attend to. Wizards are a group of people who must constantly conduct research.

“For now, I will have to concentrate on research until the artifact is completed. “That seems like the most urgent thing.”

Heike’s eyes were sparkling like a girl’s as he had finally found a new topic for research.

Of course, it wasn’t just for research purposes. It is important to hide the existence of those two monsters in order to avoid attracting the attention of the temple.

Until the artifacts needed for Elagana and Ygrel are completed, Green Cana will be a good hiding place. It would be a pain to stay in Antiol’s place.

Even in the days when the temple oppressed wizards, Green Cana was a place where the location of the village was hidden by the spirit of the earth and its unique abilities.

Although Xi’an is anxious, it is the perfect place for these dangerous people to visit.

In Green Cana, a spirit wizard can exercise power that surpasses that of an archmage.

Because there exists an earth spirit who is no different from a god.

‘The spirit wizard of Gran Cana is also a wizard. I won’t overreact to monsters. But no matter how conscious they are, those two monsters are too threatening. It would be better not to let the villagers find out.’

“Both of you, you are not allowed to use demonic energy for the time being. Now, that transformation is magic made as delicately as a piece of paper. Since I last modified it, it will be effective for quite some time, but if it gets even the slightest shock, it will break quickly. Ygrel, you won’t be able to fly for a while. Are you okay?”

Ygrel shrugged his shoulders.

“No problem. “Why don’t you try adjusting to human life?”

[I just got a little smaller, but nothing much has changed, so it’s okay.]

“Then, I’ll meet you with the artifact as soon as possible before the transformation wears off. “I hope you all have fun.”

Heike waved his hand and immediately disappeared using movement magic. So the remaining party members became simpler than before.

Area, Igrel, Charlotte, three women. And three men: Helmut, Sian, and Asuka.

Although Elaga was a male, he could not be called a man anyway. Right now, I’m just a cat sitting on Helmut’s shoulder.

[It’s uncomfortable because my shoulders are narrow. Humans are really bad for vehicles.]

“Either go down.”

[This is my long-awaited opportunity to treat you like a mount, so why me? Just walk diligently. You’ve become useful now, right?]

Helmut felt the urge to grab Elaga by the scruff of her neck and throw her.

But if there was one thing Helmut excelled at, it was the patience to suppress that impulse.

He walked on without saying a word. When he gets to town he thinks about dropping Elaga off wherever he goes.

And just as Sian said, a village was visible up ahead.

*

Green Carna, which was peaceful as always, Rodrill’s small mansion was experiencing a commotion.

The uproar started from a letter that arrived in the morning.

“They say Xian is back!”

“Didn’t he say he was going to do dangerous research?”

“He said if he doesn’t come back, I’ll be dead?”

“You bastard, just come back!”

A deep man’s voice rang out. A woman with a gentle appearance stopped him by raising her fist.

“Honey, don’t start scolding me. How can I return safely? You should listen to the story first. “What a model student he is.”

“How can someone disappear like this without telling their parents just because their head has grown!”

“They say they will explain it in the letter. But what kind of friends did our Xian say he was bringing?”

“I made some bad friends at the academy and went astray. “I guess I’ll have to show them my lesson!”

Xian’s father already seemed to be absorbed in the role play of ‘father correcting his wayward son’. It was as if Sian had been such a diligent honor student that he had not been able to get a chance to scold him, but finally he got it this time.

In that respect, Asuka and Xian were completely different.

If Asuka was a problem child and a troublemaker, Xian was an honor student with good interpersonal relationships who always took second place at the Academy, even though she hung out and got into trouble.

At some point, when the voices became quiet and everyone was doing their own thing, the woman suddenly raised her head into the sky.

“huh? “It looks like someone came to the entrance of the village?”

Their house was located in the innermost part of Green Cana, near the mountain range. Where lush leaves fall over the roof.

The woman muttered with her eyes in space, as if she could see without even using magic.

“It’s Sian. And maybe, those friends? Oh my goodness.”

Before she could finish speaking, Xian’s father kicked down the door and rushed out.

“It looks like he’s been worrying a lot too. however… … .”

The woman, Xian’s mother, tilted her head.

“The appearance of my friends is unusual. And besides that.”

Her brow furrowed as if she felt something. Her eyes cooled down.

A foreign and dangerous being. Maybe it could threaten the safety of the village.

“I guess I should go too.”

She stood up and immediately followed the path her husband had taken.
