◈ Episode 226 Arcane Chamber (2)
The crowd was quiet.
The wizards who had doubts about Ludger’s research results also shut their mouths as if they had never done that.
The atmosphere of the scene went back to the beginning.
‘Anyway, they’re like people with no self-respect.’
Casey, who was watching the scene, clicked her tongue inwardly at the sight of the wizards changing their attitude like flipping their palms.
It wasn’t like the guys who had been suspicious of Rudger a while ago suddenly believed in it, said that they knew it would happen, and so on.
‘How can I say that someone else stole something with such detailed research results?’
It was an idea that I could do because I knew from firsthand how smart Rudger was in the past when he was James Moriarty.
Through Ludgar’s memories, Casey observed that he was doing a lot of research in the fields of mathematics and science even before he was called Professor Moriarty in the Kingdom of Delica.
Of course, I couldn’t help but think that the interpretation of the ancient language that came out now was also the result of his achievement.
That man doesn’t know anything else, but he never cheats in terms of academic knowledge.
The difference in information created a gap between the other wizards and Casey.
‘By the way, when did that human learn an ancient language again?’
Casey’s pride was hurt.
I became impatient when the person I thought of as a kind of competitor kept showing me something.
Considering that, I don’t intend to agree with Altego Dantes’ opinion, but it’s not that I don’t completely understand his mind.
‘If anyone showed a great figure in one field, there would be no choice but to be weak in another field.’
If you can do everything well in the first place, why would each person’s field of major be divided?
Learning and magic each have their own path, and it is difficult for ordinary people to choose one path and rise to a high position there.
‘But that human did it so easily.’
The wizards gathered here will not know.
Rudger made the [source code] and interpreted this ancient language.
Because he is already a person who has left more footprints in the past.
Rather, it was Casey who knew that, so he was able to agree and accept the research results that Rudger was announcing now.
‘Ah really. I can’t admit this.’
In the end, Ludger is a criminal who hid his identity, and he is a being who caused trouble under various pseudonyms.
The name that people are seeing right now, Ludger Celish, is also a pseudonym.
fake identity. fake name.
Everything about him is shrouded in a veil, and everything he sees is a lie.
If it’s the only thing that’s real, it’s that beautiful beauty that leaves only admiration.
‘No, but the more I look, the more I don’t understand. If you have that level of skill, can’t you just live a proud life wherever you go?’
He didn’t want to admit it, but Rudger was closer to the category of genius than he was.
This side is born with the talent for reasoning and analysis, but Ludger’s field of study so far cannot be counted on one hand.
If you are this extraordinary, you will be recognized wherever you go, and there will be no need to hide your identity dangerously.
To be honest, it seemed like he could make a living with just his face.
Still, he hides his identity.
why?
‘Is there any reason not to be caught? Then why?’
If Rudger had been halfway, it would have been rather difficult to know. Because there are too many cases.
However, if a man of that level tries to hide his identity, then he can cut off all the odds.
‘I’m hiding my identity, but I’m not hiding my abilities. Like an awl in your pocket, you’re so good you can’t help but stand out no matter what you do.’
Rudger also didn’t bother to hide his power.
‘What is the reason for such a person to keep hiding his identity? It’s not arbitrary. Because of external factors, we have no choice but to hide it. And usually in that case, it’s dangerous if your identity is revealed.’
Casey’s unconscious expanded greatly and began to reason.
Rudger is a person with innate charisma, outstanding looks, and even a noble dignity.
If such a person is hiding his identity, there is only one case that comes to mind first.
‘At least somewhere noble. but not welcome. Was it the son of a concubine? Then he ran away when his life was threatened.’
However, if he ran away, it would end there, but he persistently concealed his identity.
‘It’s because there are people who come to kill or capture you the moment your identity is revealed. Otherwise, there’s no way I’ll keep changing my identity.’
If so, Ludger’s birth would mean that he was not from an ordinary aristocratic family.
If it was a noble family, there would be no way to catch Ludgar when he fled to another country.
‘If you have to hide your identity to avoid being discovered even if you wander around the world, it would mean that your family is a place where you can influence the entire continent.’
Casey crossed her arms and flicked her fingers, tapping her forearm.
‘Then you’re not from an aristocratic family. At least royalty.’
and that kingdom.
A place so influential that it can reach out to other countries even over the entire continent.
‘no way.’
Casey shook his head to dismiss his reasoning that had reached that point.
Anyway, this went too far.
‘Besides, there’s something else strange about it. His true identity must not be revealed, but he does not hide his skills. Why? He has other important purposes than hiding his identity.’
The goal you want to achieve even while taking risks.
All kinds of research material he had read in his memory.
‘I don’t know.’
As long as nothing has been fully clarified yet, it is impossible to reach a result only with heart disease.
‘Rather than that, is it going to end soon?’
From increasing the amount of mana released, to the story of the mana suppressor, and further to the complete interpretation of the Larsile language.
By the time the explanation was completely over, the wizards in the audience had completely turned their eyes away.

“Mister Rudger! I have a question!”
“Are you willing to submit a revised edition of the complete interpretation of Larsile!”
“Then how do you make magic inhibitors!”
Even though I knew I shouldn’t ask, I couldn’t contain my overflowing curiosity.
Even though the questions didn’t need to be answered, Rudger calmly answered them.
“If you have any questions, ask one by one.”
“Mr. Rudger. My name is Edwin of the New Mage Tower.”
“yes. Mr Edwin. Please speak.”
“Are you willing to disclose the magic suppressor recipe?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Rudger cut it off and said.
There was a buzz from everywhere, but no one openly questioned Rudger about why.
That’s right, because the Magic Suppressor recipe was invented by Rudger, and the intellectual ownership was with him.
Of course, there were people who couldn’t accept it even if they understood it in their heads.
“for a moment. Isn’t that a bit much?”
The person who spoke this time was not an audience member, but a magician who was sitting in the seat of honor for a special person.
Sitting in a chair made to fit the size of an adult was a small kid who wouldn’t even be half that size.
It was a small and cute girl with auburn hair tied in two pigtails, like a doll, but the moment Ludger saw her, he thought of a similar being.
‘Looking at his appearance, he must be on par with our master.’
Of course, the thoughts stopped there.
Sitting in the high seat meant that he was a great wizard.
It was not something to be judged by appearance alone.
“Your name?”
“Caroline Monarch.”
The confident look in her eyes asked, ‘Don’t you know me?’
The wizards who recognized Caroline whispered among themselves.
“If it’s Caroline Monarch, that mercenary wizard?”
“You’re the kind of person who wanders around without any affiliation, accepting missions.”
6th tier wizard Caroline Monarch.
Her existence was famous even among other mages.
“I heard that he was actually a commoner, but he was given the Monarch Castle as an honorary nobleman for outstanding achievements.”
“You are much smaller than I thought. Are you a real adult?”
“Unbelievable. You are so cute.”
“… … Hey, did you like that?”
Ludger, who had picked up some simple information, asked while looking at Caroline.
“Yes, Mr. Caroline. So what do you mean it’s not?”
“That’s it, that’s it. You’re going to keep the recipe tightly hidden.”
Caroline was informal, even in front of thousands of wizards.
That was her disposition.
She has a cute face and looks young, but she has the personality of a tyrant.
He never bows his head to anyone, and if the opponent is annoyed by nobles or royalty, he fights first.
Because of that, he felt his life threatened several times, but there was nothing to change his attitude.
That’s why her nickname is “Tyrant”.
There were times when the modifier ‘small’ was added in front of it, but usually it was not.
I couldn’t handle what would happen the moment those words reached Caroline’s ears.
“By the way, since I’m older, can I speak casually?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Despite her appearance, Caroline is actually over 30 years old, and her skills are close to the top of the 6th rank.
In terms of age and industry experience, he was clearly superior to Rudger.
‘Rather than that, the name Caroline Monarch. When I said I had heard of them somewhere, they were the ones I encountered in the Kingdom of Utah.’
Her direct mercenary group «Monarch».
They are all made up of wizards, and most of them are living legends of the mercenary world known to have combat power of the War Mage level.
Although his reputation has declined slightly due to the existence of ‘Machiavelli’, who recently led the civil war in the kingdom of Utah to victory.
Slightly faded from the overwhelming first place, Caroline and her mercenaries were still referred to as the leading armed group.
‘I’ve been involved with the Monarch mercenaries there.’
Of course, I hadn’t met the leader, Caroline, so I didn’t care too much.
I couldn’t believe that the opponent was the captain of that mercenary group.
“If you tell everyone the research results in front of you and hide the recipe, all you can hear is that you will blatantly use your advantage in information?”
“It may seem like that, but I’m just here to announce the success of the research on ‘increased mana emission’.”
In other words, there was no need to explain the process and method of increasing the amount of mana released.
“So you’re going to preoccupy the information?”
“There is no need to inform everyone about my findings, so I wouldn’t call it preemption.”
“I guess so. But, if you’re the only one who knows how to make magic inhibitors, you’ll have problems. what about the material? If we monopolize just one of the most important ingredients, the problem will grow.”
Caroline’s point was the danger of monopoly.
“You are not here to give valuable information. I just used this space called the Arcane Chamber for my own success.”
After all, only Rudger knew the magic suppressant recipe, and if he wanted to, he could have hoarded the most important key ingredient and monopolized it.
The most important sword hilt is held by one individual.
It was unpleasant for Caroline, who did not like power itself, to see someone wielding power in such an overwhelming position.
Even though she reached the level of the 6th hierarchy, the reason she wandered without belonging was because she hated such power.
That’s why Caroline hates powerful people.
hate rulers
“hmm. I agree with that statement itself.”
It was Auguste who agreed with Caroline’s words.
Although he did not take Altego’s side, Altego also felt a considerable sense of crisis while watching Ludger’s research results.
The Kuma Tower has already hated Ludger because of Senator Altego, and because of that, the possibility of magic suppressant information coming here is remarkably low.
Shouldn’t we stop the flow of information to other powers as well?
“Everyone is doing too much. Wasn’t it a wizard’s individual freedom whether or not to disclose the thesis data from the original Arcane Chamber?”
Elisa Willow stood up for Ludgar.
“President Elisa. That and this case are different. A research that causes a great upheaval like now is not going to be hidden simply by hiding it.”
If it was halfway research data, it wouldn’t have mattered if they didn’t disclose it, but the increase in mana emission was a different story.
“Elissa Willow. Are you afraid I don’t know that you take care of me as your academy teacher?”
“Oh, Mrs. Caroline. have you been It was so small that I couldn’t see it.”
“What dude? You want to fight me right now!”
Caroline’s pigtails shook violently at Elisa’s words, which touched her own wrath.
President Elisa, who seemed calm and mature, and Caroline, who was small and fiery, were completely opposite in terms of personality and appearance.
“Even so, I don’t think it’s right to take away the results of individual research by persecuting the majority.”
Then another voice came from the seat of honor.
The one who opened his mouth was a wizard with a mask on his face.
“Look over there. It’s Roteron in the iron mask. One of the pillars of the Shin Magic Tower.”
“Why are you wearing a mask on your face?”
The clothes were comfortable to work in, but the appearance of wearing a helmet only on the head was quite unusual.
He expressed his opinion as if he did not care about the reaction of others at all.
“Since when did the Arcane Chamber have to put pressure on someone’s research results?”
“Lontheron. The case is different this time.”
“Are you going to make an exception? That word is really convenient. So who sets the standard for exceptions? The old magic tower?”
It was the same with the other wizards who sat in the high table.
“Stir.”
It was a female magician with long bangs that made her invisible.
Looking timid at first glance, she spoke in a small voice that matched her appearance.
“Well, isn’t it too risky to have an individual monopolize this kind of information, no matter how you look at it? omg! sorry! Someone like me is recklessly raising an opinion!”
A woman with her head bowed straight away.
But no one thought her behavior was pathetic.
Royna Pavlini.
A member of the School Association, she was also a 6th tier magician.
Although it is said to be the last stone, the achievement was not to be dismissed carelessly.
“That is not right!”
This time, a spirit like a fierce shout erupted.
A muscular mage close to 2m tall.
If he wasn’t wearing a robe, he had a look that could be trusted even as a knight. Even the grove was swollen with muscle.
“Isn’t that person a member of the School Association?”
“Whirron? That muscular idiot who grows a body for a wizard?”
Garon, who claims to have a strong body while growing muscles as a wizard, was famous as an eccentric even within the academia.
But who can laugh at him.
It was as if his skills had been verified just by sitting in that seat of honor.
“To think that many people are persecuting and trying to take away the research materials that have been created by individuals! That is against justice!”
“Hey! Whew, I’m scared.”
The situation naturally flowed into a confrontational structure.
Conflict between the Old and New Magic Towers.
Conflict within the School Federation.
and.
“A confrontation between an adult and a child.”
“I hope Caroline wins.”
“… … Hey, sit a little farther from me.”
The words of those who sit in the highest seats carry considerable weight within the Arcane Chamber.
So, naturally, the mages who sat in the general seats had different opinions.
– Information must be disclosed.
-no. This is the freedom of the presenter. can’t infringe on it.
-This amount of information is too devastating for individuals to hide. What if the other side gets a bad heart?
– Then it is not too late to go and prepare a new plan.
– By that time, it may be too late.
Even the people sitting in the senior seats naturally turned their eyes to one side.
What was needed when opinions were split evenly was the judgment of the most authoritative mage in this place.
And now, there is only one person with the greatest authority in the Arcane Chamber.
It was the great wizard belonging to the imperial palace, Clinton Rothschild of the Impera class.
“haha. Are you asking this old man for an answer?”
Clinton chuckled, but knew that the situation itself was unavoidable.
Everyone waited for his answer.
