EP.241 Wizards’ Night (3)
“I guess I’ll have to go find it myself.”
The black magic tower lord stood up from his seat.
After giving a few instructions to the wizard belonging to the Black Magic Tower who came running, he wrapped his robe around his shoulders and let out a short breath.
“That elf you know has a slightly strange personality, but he seems like a trustworthy person.”
An elf I started interacting with a while ago.
Yetual collected information about the elf who identified himself as Cardi, and in the process was able to get a vague idea of the elf’s identity.
An elf with no records left anywhere.
A being that is only recorded in elf fairy tale books.
Yetual guessed that he was an elf who lived in a time called ancient times. Although it was a wild guess, the events that the elf spoke about as if he had experienced them happened at least hundreds of years ago.
‘What’s more, he is a person who knows the gray wizard.’
We can’t just say it’s speculation.
“Because there is no way the person you know is ordinary. “Isn’t that right?”
Yetual grabbed the collar of his robe and lightly shook it off.
“Then there must be a reason for the warning.”
I think it’s not just about flirting. Of course, I don’t think the god of wizards would do anything problematic…
“There is no harm in being prepared.”
Although it was a problem because the plan we had already prepared was destroyed, it was necessary to take follow-up measures.
“···Even though you tried so hard, I never thought you would have overpowered the guards and escaped. “Raising a child is a very difficult task.”
With a deep sigh, Yetual walked towards the door. After walking like that, Yetual looked to his side. Before I knew it, Rania, wearing a robe, was standing next to me.
“···What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you want us to go find Chloe?”
“yes. But shouldn’t you prepare for the magic banquet? “It will start soon…”
Rania shrugged her shoulders.
“Anyway, we can’t start without the Elder Dragon Wizard. So, we have to catch him first and put him in his seat.”
“Tap,” Rania snapped her fingers.
“and.”
She touched the corner of my eye.
“I also made a promise with the ancient dragon wizard.”
“···Hmm.”
I think things will get more complicated if you go.
Yetual had to struggle to swallow the words rushing down his throat.
“What is it? What’s going on? “I want to go too.”
“Just stay here.”
“You stay out. White.”
“No, everyone only says that to me…”
White, who didn’t know what was going on, just pouted his lips.
2.
Chloe is a girl from the back alleys.
The back alley is dark day and night due to thick fog. The girl who spent her childhood in such a place used to understand her world through a few books.
A novel that someone threw away after reading.
Sometimes flyers come mixed in among the trash piles.
In the drab, dark back alley, the girl would read such things and dream of the outside world. The longing I had when I was young has not disappeared even now that I am older.
That’s why Chloe gets excited when it comes to festivals.
“Waha…!”
Wizards’ Night.
A festival of wizards that I had only read about in novels.
Chloe’s eyes lit up and she quickly turned her head. The atmosphere is completely different from the streets I normally see. The streets are more lively than usual, and people dressed in somewhat exotic attire are often seen.
Magic fireworks launched into the sky.
Street vendors doing business with the symbol of the Tower of Magic.
All of that is just amazing in Chloe’s eyes.
“Belnoa, look at that…!”
Chloe, hanging on Belnoir’s arm, points to the street vendors with her finger. Belnoir sighed and hugged Chloe’s robe.
“okay. “I’m going to listen to them all one by one, so cover your face properly.”
“yea, I got it!”
Chloe bursts into laughter.
Belnoir chuckled and walked down the street where the festival was in full swing, holding Chloe’s hand.
Chloe wasn’t like this for a day or two.
Because she learned about life through all kinds of novels, Chloe had several areas in her mind where flower fields were spread out.
‘It was a festival, an academy, a ball, and something else.’
Anyway, things related to romance novels.
Chloe used to have excessive fantasies about concepts that often appear in genre novels.
‘It’s fascinating when you think about it.’
Belnoir glanced at Chloe, who was following behind him. That kid is from the same slum as you. A girl who wants to see everything she can’t see means she is a girl who wants to see everything she can’t see.
Even when people die.
A place where corpses are dumped.
Also, humans killing humans.
You must have seen it all, but Chloe still remains as pure white drawing paper. He didn’t become particularly pessimistic and blunt like himself. It looks the same as when I first saw it.

Belnoa was not the only one who felt this way.
Chloe easily blended in among Aplia’s students. No one can even imagine that she is from a slum.
“Wow…!”
Watching her express admiration at the festival like this makes her seem like a young lady from an aristocratic family who doesn’t know anything about the world.
‘Maybe the fundamentals are different.’
A person who is not shaken by any environment.
Belnoir thinks that such people may be born with something special.
“Are you happy?”
“huh!”
Chloe smiled brightly.
Belnoir patted Chloe’s head and continued walking. Anyway, seeing Chloe smile didn’t make her feel too bad.
“But don’t let go of my hand and follow me. “Because there are so many people, if you get swept away…”
That’s when I said that.
The feeling in my hand suddenly disappeared. He must have been holding Chloe’s hand, but now his hand is grasping in empty space.
“···Chloe?”
Belnoa looked back.
Chloe isn’t there.
The crowds of people walking up and down the streets were the same, but Chloe was the only one who wasn’t supposed to be there.
3.
“···Belnoa?”
Chloe blinked.
They must have been holding hands. He must have never let go of her hand, but Belle Noah is nowhere to be seen.
Belnoa is not the only one who is invisible.
The crowds that had filled the streets suddenly disappeared. The street vendors who set up shop, the wizards who walked the streets talking about magic, and the ordinary people who enjoyed the festival… all disappeared.
The streets stretch out with no one in sight.
A midday street decorated to the fullest for the festival.
Only the people passing by have disappeared, but even the streets feel deserted in the middle of the day.
gulp.
Chloe swallowed dryly and walked away.
I’m trying to get out of the empty street.
Just like that, the moment she took a step forward.
“uh···?”
Chloe’s body stiffened.
My body doesn’t move.
I can’t even take a single step. Chloe raised her head shakily and looked straight ahead. I suddenly feel a sense of popularity on an empty street.
widely.
Light footsteps are heard.
Sound is light, but the entity that creates the sound is never light. It even feels like the air has suddenly become heavier.
widely.
The corners of Chloe’s eyes fluttered.
widely.
The footsteps that had been heard at regular intervals stopped.
Chloe looked to where the sound stopped.
“······.”
There is a man standing there.
He is a man with bluish hair that flows down to his lower back and slitted golden eyes.
“iced coffee.”
He opened his mouth.
“I definitely warned you, right?”
A cool, emotionless voice rings out. Chloe was shocked and her shoulders shook. However, the man’s words were not directed at Chloe.
“I should have warned you not to use Gletus’ body.”
The man’s gaze and words are both directed towards the sky.
“Gleria was the last line I could endure. “I remember she took enough time to explain it to you so you could understand.”
Even though it is a daytime sky, there are stars floating at the end of the line of sight.
“I’m nailed to the sky, so now I don’t even know my own guide. “Doesn’t that sound like what I’m saying?”
A cold voice echoes.
Chloe feels as if her heart has stopped for a moment. The starlight circulating through her own body fluctuated violently.
widely.
The man moves one step forward.
The distance difference between the two is more than ten steps, but the one step the man takes lightly is not limited by the physical distance.
“you.”
The man standing in front of Chloe looks down at her.
Although the visible figure is a young man of about twenty years old, Chloe feels something wrapped in a human shell.
An indescribably gigantic being.
The being asks itself a question.
“What is your name?”
“Ugh, ugh…”
Just like that, Chloe’s upper and lower teeth collide. Chloe, whose legs became weak, flopped down and sat down in her seat.
“I asked what your name was.”
The man still looks down at Chloe.
A platinum ring of light is revealed in the eye. The three rings interlock to create a strange pattern.
“If you scare me like that, I’ll give you a quick answer.”
This is the moment when that pattern is about to shine.
“yes
Isn’t it? Jormun.”
Someone steps into an empty street.
Standing there is an elf with gray hair. He, dressed in a shabby robe, grabs my collar and lightly shakes it off.
Sarah.
That alone changes the shape of the robe.
The shabby robe is transformed into a platinum-colored robe with a strange pattern drawn on it. Cardi Van Armiel, the elf who rolled up the sleeves of his robe, narrowed his eyes.
“Jormun van Dragonic.”
He says the man’s name.
The ancient dragon wizard looked back at Cardi.
“I don’t know what contract you made with the stars, but I would have warned you too.”
Cardi lightly released his wrist.
“If you approach Gleria or my acquaintances carelessly, it won’t end well.”
“It’s not Gleria. “It’s Gletus.”
“That old lizard bastard is being really mean.”
Cardi scoffed.
“Star.”
The great sage of the past points to the ancient dragon wizard.
“The scales have tipped. Make exceptions.”
A primordial being that should not move is trying to move.
It means that the balance is about to be broken.
Because the star seeks to maintain balance, it recognizes the current situation as an exception. In order to level the tilted scales, the stars temporarily tear down the contract.
Tick, Tididik.
Sparks fly from the tips of Cardi’s outstretched fingers.
Cardi’s mana, which had disappeared, temporarily returns.
“That’s what the stars say. What are we going to do? Jormun.”
Cardi moves her fingers.
What is drawn in the air is one stroke.
Dozens of spells fluctuate in a single line.
“Would you like to try it?”
“…Do you think I can’t subdue you?”
“No, you can do it. Even more so now that Ganicalt is not there.”
But, Cardi said.
“You will have to pay the price too. “You will have to do what you hate the most.”
Jormun is silent.
The ancient dragon, who had been silent, eventually sighed and lightly waved his hand. With that alone, the air that had been oppressing the surroundings became lighter in an instant.
The tilted balance becomes level in an instant. The mana that had formed on Cardi’s fingertips disappeared as if evaporating.
“That’s it, that’s enough. I refuse to fight with you. “You should act a little tired…”
Jormun shook his head as if he was fed up.
He said, glaring at the starlight hovering around me.
“I couldn’t stand it and cunningly clung to me. “Seeing you throw away a close friend who has been with you for tens of thousands of years like you’re flipping the palm of your hand, you still look like shit.”
“You must have eyes to see. “Wouldn’t I be better than that senile lizard?”
“You stop getting on my nerves. “I’m still not feeling very good.”
The ancient dragon answered nervously and turned its head.
There, Chloe is sitting on the floor.
“I’m sorry. I have no grudges against you personally. But that face is like disgust to me.”
Jormun laughed bitterly.
“What’s your name?”
“Hey, it’s Chloe.”
“okay. Miss Chloe. I was rude. “I have to deal with this matter separately…”
I will compensate you.
This is the moment Jormun is about to speak.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The space shook with a loud noise.
A crack cracks in the artificial space created by Jormun, and it rushes forward. Jormun’s eyes widened, and Cardi briefly exclaimed, “Oh.”
“found.”
The person who appeared beyond the crumbling space was Raniel van Trias. Raniel looks straight at Jormun, who is standing in the center of space.
“What are you doing here and not being a judge? It really bothers people…”
Those words don’t last until the end.
What caught Raniel’s attention was Chloe sitting down in her seat… and the appearance of the ancient dragon wizard looking down at her.
A girl who looks frightened no matter who looks at her.
The ancient dragon wizard is clearly the culprit.
The situation that came into view was clear. So, the action Raniel had to choose was clear.
Sigh.
Raniel clenched his fists.
