Episode 849
However, Garal did not reveal his true feelings right away.
I would have boldly said this when I lived in the Northern Snowflake Tower, but there were three research failures, five accidents, and one attempt to assassinate a patron (assassination to be exact).
Thanks to the experience (it was an accident that was misunderstood as a trial), Garal has matured a lot.
No matter how unlucky you are, you must be careful with your mouth in front of your employer.
“It’s surprising. I’ve never heard of a Baldrogard student being close to an Einrogard student.”
“The Einrogard students are certainly one of the two-horse chariots that tow the empire, but they are said to lack a bit of dignity. We, Baldrogard, have become close friends.
“I understand why you bite.”
Crack!
Garal had to grit his teeth.
The Baldrogard student in front of me seemed to be casting illusion magic with just a few words.
How can you manipulate people’s emotions so easily?
‘You have to endure it.’
“But aren’t there always exceptions?”
Zandanni began to explain without even knowing that Garal was gritting his teeth.
The senior who created this improved space expansion backpack with the Einrogard student was a person of great reputation within Baldrogard.
“He was almost a legend. He was so amazing that as soon as he graduated, he was invited to various places…”
“……”
The corner of Garal’s mouth twitched again.
There was no way a Baldrogard student would receive such an active invitation to the Imperial Magic Tower or the Wizard’s Guild.
“So how did you get this gift?”
“Ah. There’s a touching story there.”
According to Giandanni, students Baldrogard and Einrogard worked hard together to research space expansion backpacks.
Then one day, student Einrogard left in the middle of his research due to personal reasons…
…Student Baldrogard kept the space-expanding backpack left behind by his friend as a proof of friendship and passed it on to his juniors.
‘oh my god. Even the cases in Detective Toberies wouldn’t be this suspicious.’
Garal was astonished.
There were more than one suspicious aspect to this short and simple story.
First of all, it was strange that a student at Einrogard would finish his research in a hurry and leave due to personal reasons.
Among the many magic schools in the empire, isn’t Einrogard particularly strict in its evaluation of achievements? There’s no way a student like that would just abandon his research and leave.
There wasn’t.
‘If you are a student at Einrogard, you can send your soul to participate in research even if your head is cut off. ‘That’s strange.’
But the other party is the employer.
Instead of pointing out the flaws in the story, Garal changed the topic.
“Indeed. It’s a good backpack.”
There were many items that provided a subspace that was larger on the outside than the inside, but their quality varied greatly.
Starting with items that provide only two or three times the expansion space, to items that provide tent-level space.
It didn’t just end with space.
How to reduce the weight inside and how to secure the necessary horsepower.
The inside of the item will inevitably shake as it moves, but how will the chaos caused by the expanded space be brought into order?
Because the area that had to be covered was so large, it could not be perfect. Also, some advantages were incompatible.
In the end, an excellent space expansion item meant an item that was made with the utmost care and even if it wasn’t perfect, it was as close to perfection as possible.
In that respect, the space expansion backpack could definitely be said to be excellent.
Of course, there is nothing particularly lacking in any place, and above all…
‘It’s not heavy, and the surroundings don’t shake every time you move it. The space was solidified well. for a moment. It is not an expansion of the space inside, but a separate space.
Did you create and connect it?’
Rather than inflating or expanding the space inside, a separate space was created and connected separately.
Garal was surprised.
The former method was usually used for small bags or backpacks, and the latter was used for tents or tents.
In any case, capturing or expanding an existing space requires much less horsepower and less effort.
In comparison, creating a separate sub-space and connecting it again took a lot more work, starting from the space. It wasn’t used for large tents or tents for no reason.
But this is a backpack that uses the latter method.
“We connected separate sub-spaces!? Did you know?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“…Haha. It’s nothing.”
Garal was taken aback by Zandanni’s reaction.
If I were to explain to Baldrogard a student about the differences in the space expansion magic methodology, I would have to be paid ten times more than I am now.
“Is it possible to change the space inside this backpack?
“Oh. How did you know? The name of the backpack is <Six Directions Backpack>.”
Giandanni excitedly explained the backpack’s capabilities.
This backpack contained six spaces inside, and it was possible to access the desired space by turning the pattern engraved on the backpack’s lock.
Giandanni offers high-quality wine in space 1, a chess set and chair made of boxwood in space 2, and a cashmere frock coat and tailcoat in space 3.
crack. Southern silk vests and hats, etc., in space 4, famous books of the empire, including the Detective Toberies series, and in space 5, harnesses for fighting…
‘It has nothing to do with magic.’
Garal cursed inwardly.
At least if you’re an alchemy school, wouldn’t it be okay to carry a pot or a flask with you?
“Wait a minute. I can access 6 spaces, why 5?”
“Space 6 is locked. It’s been that way since I first got it.”

“why?”
“Well? I’m not sure.”
“…weren’t you curious?”
A typical wizard would have been curious and tried to open the artifact in some way if it was locked in only one space.
Zandanni slapped his palms and shook his head.
“Hearing that, I guess I’m curious again.”
Garal raised the corners of his mouth to force a smile. Even if he got angry, he only lost himself.
“I guess it was unfinished.”
“you’re right.”
“Can I open it?”
“I would appreciate it if you could do that! Please take care of me.”
“Okay. Let’s take a short break and then work on it.”
Garal got up, opened the door, and went out.
<Visitor Accommodation> The village was a place where cozy and comfortable mansions made of brick and wood were located in a circle.
Light instead of stars twinkled on the high ceiling of Einrogard’s main building, which stood in place of the sky, and thick fog instead of the horizon enveloped the village.
Garal took a long breath as the silence once again penetrated his heart.
‘I thought about it last time, but it’s not like Einrogard. It’s peaceful.’
“Raise your hand.”
“Don’t move. I don’t have any grudges on that side, but the moment you move, your safety cannot be guaranteed.”
“……”
Garal deeply regretted the feeling of the cold cane on his back and under his neck.
No matter how peaceful the place was in Einrogard, you could never let down your guard.
* * *
Lee Han, who arrived at the accommodation village using spatial overlap, used the illusion magic he had just learned to break through the Death Knights’ security and approach inside.
The mansion where Baldrogard guests stayed was easy to find. It was a place with the brightest lights and loudest music.
-for a moment. What is this sprinkled on the soil here?
-It’s wine.
-Why is there wine sprinkled on it?
-The Baldrogard guys brought it back, but it probably didn’t taste good, so they threw it away here. Because they are extravagant bastards.
-…I will kill you!
– Jin, calm down.
Although there was some minor commotion, Lee Han and Sevius successfully approached the front of the mansion.
While I was wondering how to enter, the wizard who made up 98% of Baldrogard’s power walked out with a sigh.
The two exchanged glances.
-Great. You’re in luck.
-The sky is also the fate of those Baldrogards.
It is clear that he is angry at
-…Yeah, yeah.
Sigh!
“Raise your hand.”
“Don’t move. I don’t have any grudges on that side, but the moment you move, your safety cannot be guaranteed.”
“!!!”
The wizard who was completely caught off guard was much weaker than expected.
Garal, who never imagined being attacked in a visitor’s lodgings like this, was attacked without any defensive magic or preparation.
“Remove the wand. Confiscate the reagents.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Garal.”
“You! Are you a 6th grader from the Wardanaz family!”
“…I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
Lee Han, who covered his face, looked foolish. Sevius looked at his junior with a bewildered expression.
-What have you done to be mistaken for a 6th grader?
-I didn’t do anything. They just think they used some magic.
-ah. If that’s the case, I understand. This can be happen.
Sevius was immediately convinced.
The junior’s magical talent sometimes gave even Sevius the creeps, so I thought an outsider might mistake him for a 6th year student.
It was a very strange thing to learn two magics in such a short period of time and learn one more in the spare time…
‘You might feel like you’re more likely to be a crazy 6th grader pretending to be a 2nd grader than a 2nd grader with genius talent. I understand.’
Sevius thought to himself that he would be outraged if his junior found out.
Garal, who had lost all his staff, reagents, and other equipment, sighed and asked.
“What did the Einrogard students come here for? Revenge?”
“We don’t waste our emotions on such useless things.”
“then?”
“The students of Baldrogard have come to retrieve their senior’s treasure, which was taken away through dirty tricks.”
“Is this a space expansion backpack?”
“!?”
Lee Han was surprised. Sevius also asked if he was surprised.
“How do you know that?”
“Earlier, one of the Baldrogard students was showing off a space expansion backpack. It was such a well-made item that I was curious.”
“That alone doesn’t explain it.”
Sevius asked sternly.
It may seem like I’m clinging to trivial things, but I definitely had to know these things going into it.
It could be an unknown trap.
“No matter how well made the backpack is, you can’t guess that it was stolen property.”
“I heard that I studied with a student at Einrogard and later received it as a token of friendship, so I wondered if he had stolen it.”
“……”
The two immediately understood.
If that was the case, it was understandable that he thought it was suspicious.
“No. Are you saying that they went around saying it was a token of friendship? Such shameless and dirty bastards!”
When Ihan growled, Garal flinched slightly. I still vividly remembered the boy from the Wardanaz family summoning the Black Emperor.
“I know you are angry at the Baldrogard students, but as a powerful person, won’t you show them mercy?”
“…Why am I the strong one!?”
‘He’s strong, right…’
Sevius thought to himself.
In order to properly deal with this junior, Einroguard would probably need to have several 4th graders or higher.
“I understand. Let’s show mercy. We have no intention of fighting needlessly with the Baldrogard students. All we have to do is get the backpack.”
“If that’s the case, there is a good way.”
“what?”
“Just go in and get it and come out.”
“……”
Lee Han looked at him as if he was dumbfounded.
“No. What kind of nonsense is that? Just go beat them, subdue them, and then take them?”
I wondered if showing mercy meant ending things with one blow.
But Garal shook his head and said.
“I guess I misunderstood what you meant. It really means that you just have to go in and take it out. Everyone is sleeping right now.”
“Huh? He’s already asleep? Does that make sense?”
“Going to bed early helps you get a good night’s sleep, and it’s good for a wizard’s health. They say… Ugh, ah, it hurts.”
As Ihan tightened his grip on the staff, Garal gasped at the feeling of being strangled.
“I’m sorry. I lost my strength in a moment.”
“……”
