Descent of the Legendary Archmage Chapter 231

Chapter 231

If I had to describe Stella Binoche’s current feelings in one word, it would be ‘joy’.

I thought it was a great swordsman, but I never thought it would be that good.

‘I’ve never seen a swordsman other than my mother who can use that level of magic cutting.’

Stella’s eyes shone as she watched Shin Ha-yul lead the sword.

What is the true identity of this prosecutor?

The already great interest grew even more.

“who is this?”

“Did you see?”

“no. I didn’t see it.”

“For now, it’s over, right?”

“… … maybe.”

The knights behind Stella whispered.

All of them look like they can’t understand the current situation.

“Miss Stella. Please step away.”

At that time, the man behind me gave advice with a serious expression on his face.

“This is the first face I see. With that level of skill, there’s no way he wouldn’t be known. Most likely a criminal. You have to run away. Fortunately, the author doesn’t seem to have any intention of fighting us… … .”

“no. There is no need to run away.”

Stella interrupted the man.

“This is someone I know.”

“ah! You were someone I knew. Excuse me.”

The man placed his right fist on his chest and bowed his head.

Then he took another three steps back. It was a near-perfect example.

“It’s quite right.”

The scene quickly became quiet.

Only then did Shin Ha-yul open his mouth.

“It cuts and erases magic. Is that the Binosu family’s swordsmanship that we’ve only heard about?”

“It’s just a bunch of pieces that aren’t enough to call themselves Binoche’s sword yet.”

Stella smiled bitterly.

“Are you the strict type? That much blackness at that age. I think you can be proud of yourself.”

“How can I be proud when I saw the near-perfect magic cutting right in front of me.”

“You mean my sword? My swordsmanship can’t be compared, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

The swordsmanship used by Shin Ha-yul is actually swordsmanship.

It was just a battle close to swordsmanship using mana cores and magic.

Should I say it feels like a mix of magic 3 and swordsmanship 7?

Shin Ha-yul’s swordsmanship is a swordsmanship in a realm that swordsmen who bet everything on a real sword cannot refer to.

That’s why I said something like that.

It’s not a comparison, so don’t worry about it.

“You say it so openly, it hurts my heart a little. It was definitely out of spec, but… … .”

However, there was no way that the inner meaning could be conveyed to Stella, who did not know the identity of Shin Ha-yul.

“I didn’t mean that, but… … .”

“Ah, I know I didn’t mean it as a disparagement. don’t look too far that’s what you meant by that. I fully understand.”

“… … .”

Shin Ha-yul muttered to himself, ‘I didn’t even mean that.’

“That, Stella-sama. I’m sorry while you’re having fun. They say the guards have arrived nearby.”

At that time, the man who served as Stella’s assistant spoke cautiously.

“Did you pass on the location information of this place?”

Stella turned and looked at the man.

The bright eyes that were directed at Shin Ha-yul disappeared in an instant, becoming eyes like snowy mountains in Siberia.

“yes. The location information was sent earlier when we cornered him.”

“Then you can wait here. Control public access, be vigilant and wait.”

“yes. All right.”

“Leave Mael’s body as it is. You don’t have to touch me.”

“yes.”

The man lowered his head again and stepped back.

Then he immediately began to control the aisles.

Stella looked at the scene with cold eyes, then turned her gaze to Shin Ha-yul again.

As if he never had a cold expression, his bright eyes stand out.

“I know it’s annoying, but I think you should come with me at least for the field report. Are you all right?”

“hmm. That’s a bit difficult.”

“oh. Are you in a situation where you are uncomfortable revealing your identity?”

“I’m telling you in case you misunderstand, but it’s not like I had a criminal record or anything. My log is very neat. It’s so neat that it’s a problem.”

“It’s so neat… … . It means that there is no record at all as a prosecutor. It must be difficult for you to be investigated right now.”

“Your brain spins fast. It is as it is said.”

There are many reasons, although I did it openly like this.

If possible, I want to avoid going to the police station.

Considering the value and prestige of an ID, it is unlikely that a fake ID will be caught, but there is a high probability of being suspicious because of the neat activity history.

It makes no sense that there is no record of a person with such skill.

There is definitely something about this man.

It is clear that this conclusion will be drawn roughly. If possible, it is best to avoid being investigated.

“So, let’s pretend I suddenly left right after the incident… … .”

“All right. Then we will take care of this matter.”

Then, Stella cut off her words.

“Can I just pretend I defeated Mael Nadal?”

Shin Ha-yul was a little surprised.

“Can you do that?”

Shin Ha-yul glanced at the 11 knights scattered around and asked.

“yes. it’s possible.”

“You mean perfectly controlled teen ligaments? It shows leadership.”

Being able to report Mael Nadal as having been defeated by Stella is like saying you have complete control over ten knights.

It was a part where we could get a glimpse of the charisma and leadership of Stella Binoche.

“It’s an overstatement.”

“If that is possible, please do so. If you deal with him like that, you may take all the balls you took.”

“He kicks the ball. Such an act unbecoming a knight, I’d like to refuse… … . Under the circumstances, that wouldn’t be possible. yes. I will.”

“It’s good that you talk fast.”

The talk is progressing smoothly.

It can’t be this comfortable to not have to use useless arguments or persuasion.

Shin Ha-yul smiled with an expression of genuine satisfaction.

“Ah, I will give you a separate bounty. I can’t help it with my reputation, but that much… … .”

“done. Treat the members to a sumptuous meal with it. Everyone seems to be quite tired, but at that time, nothing touches me as much as the leader’s consideration.”

“Even the consideration of the members… … .”

Stella’s eyes lit up with an expression of great emotion.

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

“Ah yes. Thank you so much for your help today. Otherwise, at least six would have died.”

“You don’t have to worry. This side has also gained a lot thanks to you.”

“What did you get… … . oh.”

Stella suddenly shut her mouth.

“no. It was a rude question. Forget it.”

“okay.”

Quick to notice, quick to judge the situation. I like it in many ways.

‘As expected, it would be right to try to contact them.’

If the conversation goes well like this, there is nothing to worry about.

There must have been a need to investigate the National Knights School, so I’ll try to contact them as soon as possible.

“Then I really want to go.”

I’m trying to leave with that in mind.

“Oh that… … .”

Stella again held off Shin Ha-yul.

“Sorry for blocking you again while you were busy. Excuse me, can I ask you one more question?”

“Okay. I still have about a minute to spare. what?”

“that… … . When can we meet again? I want to repay you… … . also… … therefore.”

Stella hesitates.

Seeing this, Shin Ha-yul smiled.

“Do you mean sparring?”

“… … no, that’s… … therefore… … .”

Stella’s expression turned red.

“… … yes.”

Even in this situation, he felt ashamed when he thought of his shamelessness.

“… … Are you too careless?”

“no. No way. A desire to learn something. I like it.”

“Ah, thank you for taking good care of me.”

“okay. tomorrow. no, it’s today I’ll call you during lunch. Then we’ll talk again.”

Stella’s expression immediately brightened.

“yes! I’ll be waiting for you.”

Seeing Stella like that, Shin Ha-yul smiled again and then left the seat and disappeared.

Shin Ha-yul disappeared over the top of the building in an instant with a tremendous leaping power.

Stella admired inwardly once again, seeing such a Shin Ha-yul.

“Until the foot law… … . From one to ten, you have great skills.”

“yes. You are a great person. The mana cores were also perfectly balanced. Swordsmanship skills, basic physical strength, speed and cutting power… … .”

Stella’s eyes shone brilliantly.

Looking at Stella like that, the man said softly.

“You look good.”

“yes. sure.”

Stella’s goal is the complete revival of knights.

The appearance of such a great article is always welcome.

“I feel like my dream is a little closer.”

“yes.”

Stella smiled brightly again.

But such laughter is short-lived.

“Rather than that, Rohan.”

Her expression became cold again, befitting an ice queen.

“Did you hear about it?”

“yes. I have already passed it on to the members in advance.”

Do not disclose the existence of Shin Ha Yul. The one who solved this problem was Stella Binoche.

These two instructions have already been done.

“I am also Rohan. Great.”

Stella nodded with a satisfied expression at the man’s quick work.

* * *

About two and a half hours passed.

The case was soon closed.

Mael Nadal’s body was also moved, and the investigators who had completed the investigation, the field inspectors who had completed the site inspection, etc. all returned to their jurisdictions.

Only control personnel were left at the site to prevent the entry of ordinary people.

‘I should be able to move at this point.’

There are only four people on each side of the alleyway.

In the center of the alley, where Mael Nadal died, no special manpower was deployed.

Even the 8 guards don’t seem to have exceptional skills.

If you approach using stealth magic, you cannot be seen.

‘let’s go.’

I immediately cast a stealth spell on my body and slowly went down the alley.

When I came down to the ground, the first thing I saw was a puddle of dried blood.

The blood that flowed from Mael Nadal’s body dried up with the flow of two hours.

‘There’s nothing left but blood. There’s no way the investigators will come back at this level.’

At most, he would come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to erase the bloodstains.

It seems you don’t need to worry about this any more.

I just turned my attention to the scene.

‘It must have been here.’

Then he put his hand on the wall that Mael Nadal had been caressing.

Earlier, Mael Nadal threw black fireballs at both sides and put his hand on this wall at the same time.

‘At that time, the wall definitely changed.’

And at that moment, the wall changed its appearance and became a secret passage.

Even thinking back on it, it was a shocking scene.

‘To think that Miho and I couldn’t detect a secret passage that was open like this.’

It was a real shock.

To be completely unaware of a magical device so close by.

‘I can’t feel anything even though I put my hand on it?’

The shock got bigger.

I know there is a secret passage in this location.

I know, and I’m putting my hands on it.

Even so, I don’t feel anything.

It’s just like a normal wall.

‘I’m sure it’s here.’

I slowly touched the wall.

I moved my hand, remembering the place where Mael Nadal had touched me earlier.

‘here. Press this protruding part… … It felt like a slight lift.’

A wall made of bricks.

Among them, I lightly pressed the brick protruding forward very finely.

I didn’t feel any pressure, but something subtle vibrations came through my palms.

‘Here it is. Are you sure.’

I applied force upwards as it was.

At that moment, the vibration became even stronger.

‘And if I force it down again here…’ … .’

not sure.

I didn’t observe it up close.

It is impossible to be sure which direction the force was applied as it was observed from a distance.

‘It’s not down.’

Sure enough, it was wrong.

It seems to fit when I press and go up, but it doesn’t seem to go down.

I let go again.

‘It’s not possible to manipulate it again right away as expected. Do I have to wait 5 seconds too?’

After waiting five seconds, he placed his hand on the brick again.

The secret passage opened by Mael Nadal earlier closed in five seconds.

From that, it was possible to guess that the security of this secret passage was reset every 5 seconds.

So I waited 5 seconds.

‘good. It’s also reset.’

5 seconds later.

I felt the slight vibration I had felt before.

I pressed the brick again and applied an upward force.

‘At an angle of about 10 degrees. Was it this way?’

And this time, instead of down, I tried to apply force to the southeast.

Hard… … .

Then the response came again.

‘bingo.’

My prediction was right.

The correct answer was not down, but diagonally to the southeast.

‘And finally, if you press the brick again and touch it here with your left hand… … .’

Catch a giggig, kang-!

There was a very small sound, like something turning a spring.

The sound was so small that I couldn’t hear it well even to me right in front of me.

As if to match the sound, the wall began to change.

It’s also not that loud.

Is it really a ‘secret’ passage?

It was a very subtle change.

A secret passageway that has changed so secretly and quickly.

‘this… … .’

Mana was flowing out of the passage.

‘Powerful fire mana.’

Familiar if familiar, unfamiliar if unfamiliar.

‘There is only one thing that can emit this kind of mana.’

The medium of Ignis.

The powerful fiery mana it spewed out from beyond the aisle, albeit weakly.
