Chapter 29. Above the one who runs, there is the one who flies. (5)
I thought as I looked at Ekarot’s shining silver feathers.
‘Should I nickname him Silver Star?’
Thinking that Elice would have held her head if she had heard, Ekarot raised her hand on which she was sitting.
“You must be doing what I asked you to do well, right?”
“of course.”
Ekarot lightly pecked the back of my hand with its beak.
“But how long do I have to do this? “It’s kind of disgusting to look at.”
Ekarot’s disgust was clearly visible even on the bird’s face, whose expression was difficult to read.
“This guy called the emperor says that not a day goes by… … Ugh.”
Ekarot purred his head.
“Honestly, I don’t really like the emperor right now. “I don’t like the person named Cain that Sienna follows.”
“There’s no way those two will become emperors anyway.”
Ekarot’s eyes sparkled at my firm declaration.
“Brother, really?”
“Shh.”
I gently grabbed its beak with both fingers.
“Pyeolong!”
Ekarot’s body flew up from its place.
* * *
“ha ha ha!”
Cain opened his mouth and laughed cheerfully.
“It’s fun just imagining it.”
He wiped away the water from around his eyes with his fingers.
“That arrogant emperor can’t even make a sound.”
“Really, Cain should have seen that too.”
Sienna smiled brightly. Cain’s eyes were folded beautifully as she looked at her.
“Thank you, Sienna. Thanks to you, things will be resolved easily.”
After Sienna decided to take his side, Cain decided to talk to her. This was thanks to Sienna’s strong request.
“Actually, I want to invade the capital right now. “I like to fight and win.”
“is it so?”
“The gathering of the assembled knights has been completed, and daily training is underway. “Visiting the northern subjugation war helped me a lot.”
Cain leisurely stroked Cadenza.
“Cadenza is crying too. “I guess I’m having fun burning other things these days.”
“Wow… … .”
Sienna looked at Cain with an ecstatic face.
The sight of him roaming the battlefield holding a cadenza. Just imagining it made his heart ache.
“For sure… … You will win. “If it’s Cain, definitely.”
Sienna truly thought so. The word defeat did not suit that fiery man.
“But please give me a chance too.”
Soon, Sienna shook her head and her eyes became clear.
“The Wizard’s Tower supports the new Emperor. This will be a pretty powerful message.”
“Hmm.”
“Besides, it would be quite a sight to see the current emperor personally come and present a tribute to the saint.”
Sienna whispered to Cain as if seducing him.
I wanted to prove it to him. How useful the wizard’s existence is, and how helpful he can be to Cain.
‘If that happens… … .’
In Sienna’s mind, she pictured Cain, who had become the new emperor, and herself standing next to him.
It was truly a dazzling and exciting future.
“Okay, then I’ll just trust Sienna.”
Fortunately, Cain obediently listened to Sienna.
“The promised deadline is coming soon. “I guess I just have to wait happily.”
“sure. “I will run to Cain as soon as the emperor comes.”
“okay.”
Cain grinned and stretched out his hand toward the mirror.
“Then see you later.”
Sienna felt the urge to touch her lips to the mirror,
“… … “Yes, Cain.”
I barely succeeded in enduring it.
Pot!
Cain’s image in the mirror disappeared.
“Whoa.”
Sienna took a step away from the mirror and looked to the side.
“… … .”
Midnell was sitting motionless in the chair.
After she started using him as a puppet, she stayed in Midnell’s room.
This was because Midnell’s actions could not be controlled if the caster was not by his side.
“Master… … .”

Sienna’s eyes looking at him were full of satisfaction, as if she was seeing the masterpiece of her life.
“Please rest a little longer.”
Sienna whispered to Midnell. Even though he knew he couldn’t answer.
“Until the new Emperor’s world comes.”
The moment she finished speaking and turned her head,
Pot.
A faint golden glow hovered over Midnell’s cheeks. It disappeared in an instant and soon disappeared.
“You’re probably ready by now, right?”
Sienna calmly sat on an empty chair and bobbed her body. Hoping that Emperor Theodore would visit the Wizard’s Tower.
But even if the promised deadline comes. Even after the sun set on the promised day and night fell, no guests came to the Wizard’s Tower.
Emperor Theodore ultimately decided not to follow Siena’s, or rather Midnell’s, orders.
“I didn’t expect you to be this stupid… … .”
Sienna bit her nails.
Emperor Theodore did not send any messenger or even attempt to communicate.
In other words, they decided to completely ignore the Wizard’s Tower.
“This is how it comes out, right?”
Sienna shook her head and raised her hand.
Pot!
The magic tool in Midnell’s room worked. It was a magic tool connected to every room in the wizard’s tower.
[Everyone please gather in the meeting hall.]
Midnell’s majestic voice echoed throughout the Wizard’s Tower.
After a while.
All the wizards staying at the Wizard’s Tower gathered together.
The approximate number is 30. That is why a wizard’s talent was extremely rare and rare.
Age, gender, and origin were all different.
Some came with Midnell without knowing their talents, while others came here to get to know themselves better.
“Today is the day, right?”
“As far as I know, no one came to visit.”
“So what happens now?”
The wizards also knew of the order under the pretense of a proposal given by Midnel to Emperor Theodore.
“It worked out better. “I actually wanted it to be like this.”
“You are out of your mind to dare to ignore the orders of the Mage Tower Lord.”
“Let’s go and show them what we’ve seen.”
While there is a group of people shaking with upset faces,
“Do we really have to do this? “Why are you scratching and making crumbs?”
“Your relationship with the emperor was neither good nor bad. Why are you acting like that all of a sudden?”
“I don’t understand Midnell… … .”
There were also people whispering quietly with anxious faces.
That’s why Midnell’s current actions were so unconventional. So different from what they previously knew.
“Isn’t it a little strange? “I’m not the type of person to do this.”
“He doesn’t even talk to us. “You just stay locked in your room.”
“I thought you were talking to Sienna?”
The wizards faced each other and whispered,
Puzzle!
I fell silent as a scarlet portal appeared in the center of the room.
Even within the Wizard’s Tower, there were only three people who could use portal magic.
Midnell, the owner of the magic tower, and Sienna, the first disciple.
finally,
“… … .”
People’s eyes fell on Ekarot, who was standing with a sour expression on his face.
He was also a wizard who could use portal magic. Even though he was the last to join the Wizard’s Tower and the youngest wizard.
“Isn’t the game over when Ekarot steps forward? “With that guy’s magic, it would be enough to blow up the entire imperial palace.”
“I don’t know. “I don’t even know what he’s thinking because he doesn’t show his face at all.”
The wizards glanced at Ekarot,
Plop, plod.
I turned my attention to Midnell and Sienna who appeared inside the portal.
“Midnell.”
“Lord Magic Tower.”
The wizards bowed their heads politely. They treated each other comfortably, regardless of age, but Midnell was an exception.
Midnell was a lighthouse that pointed their way forward and a compass that showed them where to go.
“I didn’t know they were this stupid. “I never thought you would take my warning so lightly.”
Midnell let out a sighing voice. All of the wizards held their breath and focused on Midnell’s words.
“I guess we should teach them respect for wizards.”
Midnell’s voice became dry.
“Because respect comes from fear.”
The wizards swallowed their saliva. They were not so stupid as to not know what Midnell meant.
Everyone looked at each other and studied each other. Midnell’s influence on them was too great.
No one here dared to raise their hand and ask Midnell a question.
“Master.”
No, there was one.
“Do I have to do this?”
It was Ekarot who raised his hand with a sullen face.
“Honestly, it doesn’t matter who is the emperor, right? The emperor was fine now. “He respected our territory and did not interfere.”
Several wizards nodded without realizing it.
‘Ekarot, that bastard!’
The corners of Sienna’s eyes rose sharply.
Ekarot That guy always had that kind of expression on his face. An expression that makes it seem like everything in the Magic Tower is boring and boring.
At the same time, more beautiful and sophisticated magic than anyone else blossomed at his fingertips. No one can dare imitate it, no one can even chase it.
That gap made him shine even more and, on the other hand, made Sienna feel intimidated.
After Ekarot appeared, Sienna was completely pushed into a corner. All the wizards, even Midnell, were busy praising Ekarot, calling him a genius.
‘That creation magic is such a big deal!’
Sienna couldn’t understand at all. Ekarot’s magic in her eyes was meaningless and useless.
With this power, all humans, even the emperor, can be brought to their knees.
All that was wasted on reviving withered flowers or controlling the humidity in the air to make it rain.
‘You have no idea.’
Ekarot will never understand his desperation.
I was tired of worrying about buying magic ingredients and worrying that the magic might fail.
‘Cain must become emperor.’
I will stand by his side, in the highest position, and look down on all humans. I will never go back to the days of weakness and misery.
Sienna made her decision and moved her magic.
“Cain… … No, if Cain Ardante becomes emperor, it will be different from now.”
Out of excitement, Midnell’s words flew out of his mouth. The wizards looked puzzled for a moment, but immediately focused on the next words.
“At that time, the position of court wizard will be created, and the wizard’s influence will have a stronger influence on the world. “It means you can take control of the entire empire.”
“Do we really have to do that?”
Ekarot’s face still showed no emotion.
“I’m still satisfied. “I have never been looked down upon because I am a wizard.”
“That’s you…” … .”
Sienna became angry again, but managed to control her emotions.
“… … If you don’t want to, you can leave the Wizard’s Tower.”
Finally, a solemn word fell from Midnell’s mouth.
“… … !”
The wizards widened their eyes. It seemed like they had no idea that Midnell would come out this strong.
“I won’t force you. However, if you leave this time, you will not be able to return.”
A bloody glow appeared on Midnell’s face. She had always been gentle and generous, but she was uncharacteristically firm.
“It’s just like you said… … .”
Ekarot muttered softly. After swallowing a sigh into his mouth, he shrugged his shoulders towards Midnell.
“If you say that, I can’t help it. I understand, ‘Master’.”
When even Ekarot, the strongest of the remaining wizards, came out like that, the remaining wizards had no choice.
Everyone closed their mouths with sullen faces. Except for a few wizards with similar tendencies to Sienna.
“Then, I will decide where each of you should go.”
Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on Midnell’s, or rather, Sienna’s, lips.
“Go and teach them fear.”

Puzzle!
A scarlet portal appears in the air,
“Hehehe!”
Joel grinned and got down on the ground. Sienna’s voice was heard from beyond the portal.
“When you’re done, you can come back here.”
“Okay, I get it!”
Joel answered lightly and then walked happily. The place he arrived was a street lined with shops mainly visited by nobles.
“Where should I go?”
Joel smiled darkly and looked around the store.
A boutique filled with ladies dressed up like gorgeous peacocks, and a quill shop filled with men dressed in formal suits.
It was a dreamlike place, too far away for Joel.
“Everyone looks happy except me.”
Joel twisted the corner of his mouth and laughed. His gloomy gaze eventually stopped at one place.
“Yeah, that would be nice.”
