Chapter 344
On the way to the furniture factory, leaving Sunchan alone at the dorm.
“wait for a sec.”
Suddenly, Mimir’s expression changed sharply.
“why?”
“… … I feel like I can feel the gaze from that direction now.”
“Sight?”
I looked in the direction Mimir was facing.
A high-rise building that overlooked the town in the distance stood out.
“You mean that building?”
“I don’t know where it is. But, for now, the direction is right over there.”
“… … okay?”
As it is, I activated Shinan at full power.
Of course, it was activated with maximum output at a level that could be unfolded without difficulty.
If you use Resonance, you can activate the divine eye to a higher level than now.
After doing so, the output of magic will be drastically reduced for a while.
Resonance cannot be used.
‘Well, even if I don’t have to use resonance, it’s probably enough.’
With the activation of the divine eye, my vision changed completely.
The color of the world that was taken for granted becomes something that is not taken for granted.
The color of mana engulfed this world.
Paying attention to the color combination of mana, I looked at the high-rise building Mimir was pointing at.
“Nothing?”
“… … okay?”
“uh. Clean. There is no trace of anyone staying around.”
If someone had been observing us from that location, the color of mana in that area would have changed heterogeneously.
Mana has the property of changing its shape according to the surrounding environment.
The composition must have changed in some form.
But the roof of the building was very natural.
The probability that there was a person there converges to 0%.
“okay? That’s strange… … . I could definitely feel your gaze… … .”
Mimir slightly tilted his head and added, ‘Was it an illusion?’
“Adela Stewart. Are you the same?”
Mimir called Adela, who was also staring at the roof of a high-rise building next to me.
Adela turned her gaze to where Mimir and I were standing.
Adela’s eyes were colored gold.
According to the activation of the mind’s eye, the pupils were dyed gold.
A moment ago, when I activated the new eye and detected a building.
Adela must have activated her mind’s eye in the same way and detected the building.
“yes. I can’t see anything.”
Adela shook her head.
“… … okay?”
Mimir furrowed his brow with a strangely uneasy expression.
“So am I really mistaken?”
It was an expression that did not think it was an illusion at all.
“It was delayed because of me. sorry. Let’s move on for now.”
Since it’s not me and Adela, I’m just pretending to understand it so as not to make things a hassle.
Mimir is convinced that someone was watching us from that position.
That expression is like that.
“okay. Let’s move at once.”
Observing Mimir’s expression, I took another step.
Adela followed behind me.
‘Seeing how confident Mimir is… … . I mean, I felt the real gaze.’
Mimir’s intuition is sharper than expected.
I don’t know what it used to be, but the current Mimir has sharper senses than I do.
My senses were added to the choker’s sensing ability, so I had superhuman senses.
For Mimir to be so sure, it means that someone really was watching us.
This is a simple misunderstanding and should not be ignored.
“How is Elena?”
It’s not as good as Mimir, but Elena-sama also has a sense that surpasses me and Adela due to the sensory amplification caused by the choker.
Mistress Elena might have felt the gaze like Mimir.
“no. I didn’t feel any stares.”
Miss Elena shook her head.
“But I don’t think Mimir was mistaken. Since ancient times, Mimir has been sensitive to the gaze of others. In fact, he has felt the gaze of an assassin more than three kilometers away in the past.”
Miss Elena stared at Mimir in turn with a serious expression on her face.
“Chokers play a role in amplifying our senses, and mythic magic, persona embodies our characteristics as they were in life… … .”
“It means that the gaze Mimir felt is highly likely to be real.”
“yes. Yes.”

Elena-sama’s expression became more serious.
I’m probably making an expression that’s not much different from Elena-sama’s.
“If so, that would mean our movements are being observed by the enemy.”
If someone was observing us at this timing, there is a high probability that it is an unknown force conducting experiments within the Rid Furniture Factory.
You can say that our actions are being read.
“… … So, isn’t Soon-chan dangerous?”
Adela’s expression also became serious.
“Now that we know that we have escaped like this, if we aim for that time and act like we will take care of Sunchan first… … .”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
As Adela said, if our actions are being read, there is not a small chance that Sunchan will receive a concentrated attack.
But that’s all.
It’s just focused attacks.
There is no such thing as Sun-chan being in danger.
“At that time, all you have to do is use the octagonal door and escape.”
“ah… … !”
Right now, Soon-chan is engaged in a fight while sealing the Octagonal Gate series, which is no different from his identity.
If you compare it to a game, it is like playing chess without manipulating the rook and bishop.
It’s a story that if one thing happens in a while, you just have to move the bishop and the rook.
“that’s right. You don’t have to worry about Sunchan. At least it will be safe until Aslan goes to sleep.”
Aslan-nim is attached to Soon-chan now.
Aslan-nim is supplementing the attack power that Sunchan lacked so far.
As long as Aslan is not shut down, nothing will happen to Soonchan.
It is impossible to defeat Sunchan now, unless he is at least a 8th-circle class wizard or a top-notch swordsman.
Of course, it would be impossible for Sunchan to win, but he would be able to do something about running away while buying time.
“It’s not Sunchan-kun’s side that we have to worry about right now, it’s us.”
Miss Elena’s voice sank coldly.
“If the enemy was really watching us… … .”
“Because there could be a high-level wizard or high-ranking prosecutor waiting for us that neither I nor Adela can detect.”
“yes. Yes.”
Elena-sama nodded, expressing her affirmation.
“Of course, I don’t think there is anyone who can beat Hayul today in a 1:1 fight… … . Our destination is the enemy’s base. Because it’s home. Considering the geographical disadvantage, there is a possibility that an avalanche may occur.”
At any rate, there is a chance that you will be put in a dangerous position.
It was like that.
“Miss Elena. You don’t have to worry about that.”
At that time, Adela spoke in a rather bright voice.
“Even if there is an unknown power that we cannot detect, there will be no way to link Ha Yul with me.”
Adela’s eyes were shining with confidence.
“Besides, Elena-sama and Mimir are together right now, right?”
“… … Hey, Adela Stewart. Why is Elena Nim and I just Mimir?”
“uh… … . Just?”
Adela replied indifferently.
The expression that he called it that because he thought it should be called that.
It was the same expression as Jang-geum, who refers to hongsi as hongshi.
“Wow, me. He’s trying to match the princess. The world has gotten better.”
Mimir with a hand fan with a puzzled expression.
Seeing Mimir like that, Adela tilted her head again.
“yes? hmm… … yes. The world has gotten better.”
“… … huh?”
The answer left Mimir speechless.
“No, I don’t mean that… … .”
The expression of not knowing that such an answer would come back.
“?”
Adela tilted her head in reverse.
It’s an expression that can’t understand Mimir’s silence.
“Wow, Mr. I am speechless.”
Mimir smirked with a deflated expression.
“Whatever I do wrong… … ?”
“… … no. it’s okay. Nothing.”
The expression that something is not good.
I tried to tease him with a little joke, but the reaction was very lukewarm, so he looked like he was leaking steam.
“?”
“It’s okay, just run.”
“yes.”
Adela put her head full of question marks and focused her gaze back to the front.
“… … There really is a child who is like a natural monument like that.”
Mimir looks at Adela like a rare animal.
“Isn’t it fun?”
“… … any?”
The expression that Adela became interested in something.
It wasn’t a very bad reaction because it’s two people who thought it would be nice to be close by my standards.
“It’s coming soon.”
thinking like that
I heard Elena’s cold voice.
He observes the surroundings with an expression that is colder than his voice.
“The trap is… … I can’t see it for once. It doesn’t look like there’s any kind of cover-up.”
A slightly surprised expression.
“It is strange. I thought there would be a trap unconditionally prepared.”
Miss Elena looked at Mimir with a mysterious expression.
“… … Am I really mistaken?”
Mimir tilted his head again.
If Mimir’s gaze was right, it would be normal if something like a trap had been prepared.
It just doesn’t make sense for them to keep an eye on us so secretly and not lay traps.
Not a single trap exists, meaning there is no unknown person observing us.
“It’s still too early to decide. They might have prepared something in the factory.”
“It is, but… … .”
Still, it makes no sense that the entrance is so empty.
Does this mean they just don’t know we’re coming?
Mimir’s expression said so.
“Let’s go in first.”
Elena-sama urged us to go in quickly.
“yes. Let’s go in.”
Earlier, while sensing, the time must have been delayed by 2-3 minutes.
You’d better hurry as much as possible.
“catch.”
I reached out to Adela.
“yes.”
Adela took my hand.
“Mimir. In case you don’t know, I’ll ask.”
“This is how easy it is. Leave it to me.”
Mimir closed his eyes.
I also closed my eyes with Mimir.
in a world of darkness.
Only my mana and Mimir’s will filled my senses.
and the next moment.
The voices of Mimir and I overlapped, and it was realized as one magic.
‘Umbra.’
‘Umbra.’
Adela’s body and I began to seep through the shadows.
* * *
“… … Do you think I was mistaken?”
About 5 minutes after infiltrating the Rid Furniture Factory.
In the meantime, Mimir, who was concentrating all his attention on the search, spoke for the first time.
“Even if it’s lax, it’s too lax.”
A look of embarrassment.
Beyond the absurdity, it was an expression that it was a waste to be nervous.
“… … It seems that the misunderstanding is correct. In an organization that has people who are so good at stealth that Hayeul and Adela didn’t even notice, there’s no way they would have prepared such lax traps.”
Elena-sama also had an expression not too different from Mimir’s.
The expression that Kim has lost in many ways.
“… … .”
Adela was the same.
If I had known this was going to happen, it would have been better to leave this place to me and help Soon-chan.
He was making that face.
“This, without having to ask Captain Charles to collect evidence… … We can handle it on our line.”
Currently, we are in the deepest part of the laboratory.
It is the most important facility where data of research conducted in this facility is gathered.
All that remains now is to extract the data from this place and get out.
“… … You really are Kim Sae.”
Mimir laughed again.
I went to bed with a lot of tension.
It took less than 5 minutes to move to the deepest part, so it was only natural that the steam would leak.
“Let’s finish quickly and go. I feel more annoyed because I am here.”
Mimir approached the lab’s main computer with a dazed expression.
“Can I just copy all the data here?”
“Please.”
Mimir put his hand on the computer and closed his eyes.
Computers turned on at the same time.
Various codes pass by in an instant over the monitor.
“Something like that is possible.”
Adela let out an exclamation of genuine surprise.
“Is it possible for Elena-sama too?”
“no. I can’t.”
Miss Elena shook her head.
“The performance of the choker is the same, so in terms of performance, I should be able to do it, but it’s normal… … .”
The reason why Mimir can access the current computer and copy the data is because the choker I’m currently wearing around my neck has superior performance to other computers.
Since it is an approach using the choker’s overwhelming performance difference, it is normal that Elena-sama, who has the same choker, can do it.
but.
“I’m not as tactful as Mimir, and I’m not as smart.”
This is just a matter of performance.
If you go into a little more detail, the story is a little different.
“… … ?”
Adela looked at Elena-sama with an expression that did not know what she was talking about.
It seems that you didn’t understand Elena-sama’s words at all.
“hmm… … . How should I explain this?”
Miss Elena smiled bitterly.
He didn’t know how to explain the current situation.
“You can think of hackers and supercomputers as a substitute.”
Instead of Elena-sama, I started explaining.
“Let’s say there is a super hacker with the most ability in the world and a super computer with the highest performance built by such a hacker.”
“… … yes.”
“Just because someone got their hands on that hacker’s supercomputer, can anyone hack something like that hacker?”
“ah… … !”
Adela let out an exclamation, looking like she knew what I was talking about.
“That’s Elena-sama’s situation right now. The performance of the choker itself is amazing, but you haven’t learned how to bring out 100% of that choker’s performance yet.”
“In short, it is a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck. I am ashamed.”
Miss Elena laughed bitterly.
“A pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.”
Adela waved her hand in surprise. The expression that she doesn’t think so at all.
“In those days, there were no such things as computers… … There would have been no AI sorcery. I think it’s natural that you don’t know.”
Seeing Adela like that, Elena-sama smiled kindly.
“no. The pearl necklace fits around the pig’s neck. That will be too… … .”
Then, slowly, he turned his gaze toward Mimir.
“Mimir. Is that kid actually doing it?”
“ah… … .”
Adela’s eyes widened.
It seemed that he understood how absurd Mimir was doing.
“Isn’t that great? Obviously, that child is the same as me and Aslan. I didn’t know anything about computers or magic engineering.”
With an expression that Mimir is so proud, proud, and lovable that he can’t stand it.
“That child. Did you memorize all those complex formulas and rules in just three hours?”
“Three, three hours… … What?”
“yes. Three hours.”
Like a mother proud of her daughter, she boasts of Mimir excitedly.
“Lately, I keep thinking about it. I wonder what a wasteful thing the people of the Empire have done.”
A code that changes dozens or hundreds of times per second according to Mimir’s hand gestures and footsteps.
Staring at those codes, Elena-sama said with an angry expression.
“A child like that just because he can’t use a single magic… … . It’s because you neglected a genius who had talent to surpass Ray in some way.”
“Leave it… … . A person like that?”
“Don’t you understand? Me too.”
Miss Elena’s complexion darkened.
It looked like he was deeply regretting something.
“What if that child had been born in this era, not the Empire era?”
I answered that question.
“If Mimir was born in this era… … . It’s obvious.”
A world where magic is no longer just a category of sense and effort.
An era dominated by calculations, analysis, and magic through data.
“The not too distant future. This era would have been called that.”
It is no exaggeration to say that modern magic is a magic system that exists for Mimir.
“’The Age of Mimir.’ I say.”
Mimir’s talent was evolving anew after meeting with the proper study.
