Episode 963
Vardan laughed cheerfully, unaware that the evil Archmage’s even more evil disciple was about to explode with anger from afar.
“Hot hot hot!”
Actually, it wasn’t very pleasant.
How can you be happy when the relics are stolen and the mansion is half destroyed due to an attack by some crazy magic criminal?
However, the most important things among the city’s nobles were dignity and pride.
Even if the mansion is destroyed, if you show yourself jumping up and down and crying in front of it, you are declaring, ‘This is all I can do.’
In order to maintain dignity and pride, one had to maintain a smiling face in front of people even if the mansion was destroyed and the relics were stolen.
As if this wasn’t a big deal.
‘…You look like a damn magic criminal. If just taking the relics isn’t enough, why don’t they destroy the mansion as well? He must be a crazy person who became violent while learning magic. The imperial knights should be the first to track down and kill this guy, but they’re talking nonsense about him being a righteous enemy!’
But the bitterness did not go away easily.
Just looking at the rebuilt mansion reminded me of the amount of gold coins that went into the attack and repairs, so it was only natural.
“Lord Vardan. The fountain in the garden is truly beautiful. “Despite the recent unfortunate events, the beauty of the mansion remains the same.”
Before the banquet began, the guests who visited first looked around the mansion and flattered Vardan.
Thanks to that, Bardan, whose bitterness subsided slightly, nodded and answered.
“I called in the best craftsmen in the empire. Just the spirit stone inside it costs as much gold as the weight of the servants working in the mansion.”
“Indeed… it is you, Vardan. “You have wealth I could never dream of.”
Once the flattery started, it continued without anyone having to say who went first.
“If you think about it, there are a lot of idiots in this city too. “You call someone who came here coveting gold coins a righteous bandit!”
“you’re right. I don’t know what the drivers are doing. “We need to track him down right away and hang him.”
“……”
Vardan didn’t answer, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly and his expression relaxed.
When they realized that the flattery had worked, their faces also became happy.
Among the guests here, there was no one who truly cared or cared about Vardan.
They only came because of Bardan’s connections, wealth, or bad temper.
It was a business that could be made by giving moderate praise and lightening the mood.
“The mansion to the west isn’t finished yet. I plan to call in the wizards from the stonemason guild to build it more brilliantly. Originally, I was planning on tearing it down and building a new one, but I thought it worked out better. “It will be the most beautiful mansion in Grandeur City…”
It was when someone secretly tried to yawn at his boring self-bragging.
bang!!!
“……”
“……”
The guests froze as they watched a corner of the newly rebuilt mansion explode with heavy drinking.
But no matter how frozen the guests were, they were not as shocked as Vardan.
To think that the mansion he had rebuilt with the money he had worked hard to steal was destroyed in an instant.
“Uh… some crazy person… what… is this…”
A familiar, vicious wizard appeared at the edge of the second floor of the broken mansion.
Vardan cried out in a horrified voice.
“S… stedal nago! Are you this crazy again?! What are you doing! “Without stopping!”
I hurriedly called for escorts, but the magic criminal’s attack was faster than that.
The magic rampage has begun.
As the magic storm tore through all around, the guards realized once again why there was an old adage, ‘When dealing with a wizard, don’t give him time.’
As powerful and destructive elements such as lightning, fire, darkness, and ice arrived without the slightest delay, the guards chose to evade rather than rush through the magic.
“You must avoid it!”
“Shut up! What bullshit! “This is my mansion!”
“It looks like the wizard has planned and prepared it! It is impossible to deal with it head on. “You must step aside first!”
The guards’ response was standard itself.
When dealing with a well-prepared wizard, you had to keep a distance and avoid its firepower, and then strike again after the magic was over.
But from Vardan’s point of view, it was shocking.
It took a lot of preparation and time for a wizard to cast magic as powerful as now. Not anywhere else, but here, inside the building of the mansion.
If they sneaked in and didn’t get caught during preparations, would it really be more than just a case of the guards being negligent in their work?
“You guys! “I hope you guys do your job right!”
“Take me and retreat!”
The guards grabbed Vardan and forced him to distance himself.
Meanwhile, the vicious magic criminal steadily destroyed the buildings and structures within range.
“……”
“……”
Vardan, who was watching after increasing the distance, trembled and cried out as if he were convulsing.
“You’re not stopping!! “It’s not stopping!”
“Wow, that’s strange. “No matter how many means of restoring magic power there are, there will be limitations due to the burden on the body, right?”
The experienced escorts were perplexed.
A wizard’s magic was a powerful and threatening tool, but the wizard himself was a being made of flesh and blood.
No matter how determined and prepared you are to cast a great spell, there must be a lull after a few spells have been completed.
However, Stedalnago continued to cast magic again and again without stopping, as if he was mocking the law.
‘Are there any more wizards? ‘Is there some trick?’
“Stop it! “I mean stop it!”
“Well, that is…”
The guards looked troubled.
It was not easy to jump into a situation where a crazy wizard was firing rampantly, even if it was a one-on-one battle.

Who would have thought that such a magical criminal would attack again?
“You bastard, you bastard!”
“?”
“It’s moving!”
A short scream came out.
After widening the distance, customers who thought they were safe could not hold out any longer and ran out the front door.
But Vardan suppressed his fear with the power of his anger and shouted.
“If you move, there will be a gap! Catch it!”
“…All right.”
This time the guards agreed to the order.
Even for a magician who runs wild like that, there are no gaps when he moves…
Rumbling-
“……”
“……”
“Well, isn’t that the spirit placed in the mansion?”
The guards were astonished to see the water spirit that had been relocated to the mansion protecting the wizard.
How on earth did they arrange the magic so that the guardian spirit sides with the enemy?
The summons didn’t end there. From the other side of the mansion, a huge golem attacked along with other undead summons.
At that moment, the last patience of the guards ran out. The escorts quickly ran down the road the guests had just fled.
No matter how much money I received, I couldn’t hold on any longer.
“You damn cowards! You can’t come back! “You guys got it…!”
Vardan stomped his foot and shouted, but the guards did not even look back.
In that situation, it would have been assumed that not one wizard but about 15 people had planned to attack the mansion.
There was no point in holding on in that situation. The escorts were as cool as they were seasoned.
As soon as the guards left, the magic criminal proceeded with the destruction work leisurely.
Even though the main building had magical defenses, cracks could be seen in the walls as the attacks continued without pause.
“Oh, no! Stop! What do you want! “What do you want?”
In the end, Vardan’s heart also broke.
The sight of him swearing and bursting with anger disappeared, and Bardan begged and begged the magic criminal.
If only we could solve the problem with gold coins…!
“nothing.”
“…what?”
“I don’t want anything.”
“……”
Vardan was completely overwhelmed by the low, rough voice.
The greatest fear I had ever felt today rushed through my whole body.
I can’t believe you want nothing from causing such a commotion.
What on earth is this guy doing?
There is nothing that evokes more fear than an unknown entity that cannot be imagined.
“A monster… a monster… a monster…!”
The magic criminal ignored Vardan and focused on destroying the mansion again.
The frightened Vardan didn’t notice, but behind the mansion, undead summons were taking out valuable items and throwing them over the wall.
-Who, who is throwing this?
-There’s something to know! Get it quickly!
* * *
“Hmm.”
Alcicle sat at the table outside the red brick cafe and opened the magazine
-Did you hear that? Stedal Nago has appeared again! That too, at Lord Vardan’s mansion!
“Foot!”
Alcicle took a small sip of coffee.
‘What is this guy doing!?’
I sent them out to do club activities and they were attacking a nobleman’s mansion. For a moment, Rcicle wondered if this was a club activity.
‘is not it? Is this clubbing?’
But no matter how I thought about it, it was strange.
If it was club activity, I think it would have been anonymous, suspicious wizards rather than Stedalnago’s identity…
-Didn’t they attack you last time?
-From what I heard, Bardan didn’t reflect on being robbed like that, so it looks like he went even more aggressive. This time, they say they completely destroyed the mansion.
-What a great wizard! I never thought there would be wizards like that even these days.
-That’s really true. Did you hear that? They say that the guy who was robbed last time is now giving away all of the workshop’s assets to the dwarves under his command.
-what? why?
-You’re scared! Last time I got thrown upside down in a canal, how can I know what will happen this time? ha ha ha!
The people next to him greatly praised the bold act of righteousness.
‘…Did Gonadaltes order it…?’
No matter how much he thought about it, Alcicle couldn’t understand the reason and groaned.
Why on earth did a good guy like Wardanaz attack a nobleman’s mansion?
At that time, Aryan called Alcicle.
“Pengerin!”
“Well, I didn’t participate. “Wodanaz did what he wanted.”
Seeing Arian running quickly from afar, Alcicle excused himself without realizing it.
As a senior wizard, he was afraid that he would be criticized for what he did while he was with him.
“What are you talking about? “People came to us to support Mr. Peng Erin.”
“…why!? Oh, no. Is that really true?”
Alcicle was about to say ‘Why?’ but then he came to his senses and cleared his throat.
It wasn’t a good reaction to hear in front of people who offered to support him.
But Arian nodded as if he understood.
“I understand that you are surprised. “Peng Erin’s research is so genius that it is difficult for people to understand.”
“Hehehe… thank you.”
“Actually, Wardanaz said he also brought up Pengerin’s research while talking about the hardball game.”
“…??”
Alcicle hesitated, unable to follow what he had just heard.
To be precise, I didn’t understand it from the beginning.
“…What does talking about hardball games have to do with my research?”
“ah. You don’t know from there? “If I were to explain it, it would be a bit long.”
“Then please explain briefly.”
“It can be said that Wardanaz has performed well riding a griffon and has been promised support.”
“…sorry. Just long…”
Aryan quenched his thirst with tea as if he had expected that to happen.
At that time, I heard a voice next to me again.
-Where do you think Stedal Nago will destroy next?
-I don’t know who it is, but it’s probably the house of a greedy guy. Now everyone is scared and just staring! Hot hot hot!
-Surely you won’t destroy Vardan Mansion three times?
“for a moment. What does three times mean? Isn’t it once? The other day…”
Alcicle closed his eyes tightly at the other person’s reaction.
I should have listened to the sponsorship story first and then left!
