Episode 133. Nameless Ruins (2)
Ruwen, where the academy is located, is on the border of the three countries, so once you leave the city, you immediately cross the border.
In other words, this place where I am standing is the beginning of the Kingdom of Spaniards.
I don’t know if it’s my mood, but it feels like the sun is already getting hotter.
Why don’t you feel that way?
I’m not tired, I just feel irritated.
I’m in exactly that state right now.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to cross this dry land barefoot.
If you use this, you will be able to get to Nodeli easily.
-Hwiiing
Under the scorching sun, a harsh sand breeze brushed against my skin.
As I turned my head, I naturally lifted the scarf around my neck.
“haha! “The air of my hometown is always refreshing!”
On the other hand, that idiot prince is sitting there with all the holes wide open, taking in all the dust.
That’s why I can’t live my life and I die of cold.
I feel like the fever that was already building up is boiling even more thanks to that idiot.
“It’s hot. senior?”
Lunav, who was watching this, asked.
“It’s just that…” “What are you doing?”
I tried to pretend I was okay, but the moment I saw her face, I tilted my head.
In this hot environment that was so yellow that it was almost red, something that looked like an incongruous blue water droplet was wrapped around her face.
As if it was raining only around her.
“It is ‘cooling magic’ that combines wind attribute magic with water attribute. “We create a whirlwind around it, make it stay there, and then create water molecules in it to make it spin around.”
It was a magic I had never heard of in my second lifetime.
“Is that also magic created by your academy?”
“No way? My grandfather will be very angry if he submits such trivial magic. “This is just something I made up on the spot.”
So you’re remodeling magic itself like it’s your own toy?
I really couldn’t help but be amazed every time I saw it.
“But wait a minute, now that I think about it, what happened to the members of the academy who are watching you?”
“Do not worry. “I left behind a welcome artifact for a day like this.”
“Illusion artifact?”
She took out a small doll resembling herself from her pocket and showed it to her.
“The principle is similar to a marionette. I inject my mana into the magical doll, give it shape, and then reorganize it into a form for summoning and operation. So now at the academy, there will be an alter ego doll that looks like me, representing me. “Even if my academy members die or wake up, you won’t know.”
I had a lot to say, but it feels like it suddenly disappeared.
A truly perfect response that was only possible because of her.
The face must be hideous and the body must be gigantic, not a monster.
If you feel such a huge sense of difference that you can’t even think of yourself as a human being, then you are a monster.
Moreover, a guy like me has probably been called a monster by quite a few people.
Suddenly, an interesting thought occurred to me about what would have happened if this genius girl had stayed in the Garam Kingdom instead of dying in her past life.
“Would you like me to do it for you too?”
“it’s okay. “It’s still worth holding on to.”
“Not dislike.”
She answered curtly, looking a little sulky.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“yes?”
“You said you weren’t in a normal state, so you wouldn’t mind using your mana like that?”
There may have been unexpected side effects while removing the heart curve.
Just because what is eating away at the body disappears, it does not mean that the deteriorated body will recover in an instant.
“Are you worried about me?”
“If I suddenly die unexpectedly while I’m at it, I’ll be the only one in trouble.”
Laughter burst out of her mouth as she was drawing a straight line.
“Rest assured. “Because nothing will happen that will make you worry.”
“Please do that.”
It was a sincere statement without any pretense.
On the carpet flying smoothly without any obstacles.
Her profound gaze, which rarely left the back of my head, was quite a burden.
* * *
After riding the carpet for a full day, we finally arrived at our destination, Nodeli.
I don’t know if it was because of the set guy’s good guidance on the route, but I was still able to arrive safely without any major problems.
As I stepped onto the rough sandy floor, a cool breeze caressed my skin.
It was definitely less hot than the places we had passed before.
“You have to go past the center of the village and go to the end of the ruins. “I don’t know if the old village chief will allow me to come in again, but if not, I’ll sneak in!”
Perhaps excited about the reunion with the demonic beast, Set continued to grin as he entered the village.
I had heard that it was a quiet town, but it was more than quiet; it had a gloomy vibe.
There were only three houses immediately visible, but for some reason I couldn’t feel anyone inside.
“Does it seem quieter than necessary? “Is this really the place?”
“no! Even though it is a quiet place, it smells like people! “Did you go somewhere to have fun as a group?”

The two continued to look around to see if they felt anything strange, but not a single ant, let alone a person, came out.
“hey! no one is here? It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so just say hello… … .”
“Hurry and hide!”
Runab, who had been silent, suddenly grabbed Set’s collar and shouted.
I also quickly hid myself from the unfamiliar signs of presence I sensed from the front.
“Why are you doing this… !”
After trying to cover his embarrassed mouth, he gently lifted his head.
Two unfamiliar men come around the corner ahead.
At first glance, he didn’t seem to be a villager, and he was wearing a familiar blue magic robe.
If only they were worthy of wearing those robes on this continent.
“They are people from Garam Society.”
Lunav whispered in an embarrassed voice.
Following the two previously shown, three additional members of the academy appeared.
They were looking around as if they were looking for something.
“It looks like grandpa made a decision sooner than expected.”
She bit her lip to show her displeasure.
“What does that mean?”
“I told you. Our society also knows information about the magic book and its ruins. “I guess they came to verify the truth of that information.”
I feel like things have gone awry.
If Set was alone, it wouldn’t be good for me and Lunav to get caught by them.
For now, it’s better to watch the situation slowly… … .
-wedge
Something heavy passed me quickly and ran forward.
A moment later, a person jumped into the air with a thud.
“I think it would be wrong to have a peaceful experiential learning experience.”
Lunab and I, who was confused for a moment, faced the Prince of Sand, who was consumed by anger and was releasing magic power from his entire body.
There was a fierce pulsation of life in the corner of his eyes.
He said that one of the things you should not see in life is the anger of a fool.
Once you get angry, it is impossible to discern between right and wrong, and you never know what you might do.
That fool prince was in exactly that state right now.
“I command you in the name of Set Shahar Khan, Prince of Spain. “I’ll give you three seconds to explain who you are, why you came here, and what the villagers did!”
The members of the academy were embarrassed by the unexpected situation and could not even react.
“three… … .”
Regardless, the set started counting.
“this… … .”
The members of the academy still did not open their mouths.
“Day… … !”
The moment the exploded Set was about to punch them again,
-Tung!
A transparent curtain appeared out of nowhere and blocked Set’s fist.
“… … !”
As if he had come to his senses a little, he withdrew his fist and stepped back.
Soon, the academy members who heard the commotion came running and surrounded him.
Runab, who was watching the scene closely from behind, frowned and said.
“I’m embarrassed. “I never thought that person would come.”
One person stands out especially among academy members wearing identical robes.
He was a middle-aged man with long white hair and slight wrinkles around his mouth, and the magical power that could be felt on the outside was quite unusual.
“who?”
“The person I hate the most.”
“what?”
“I’m kidding. His name is Charon Raines, and he is the most influential member of the Garam Society after his grandfather. “I think I’m here to be in charge of this investigation.”
I thought he looked familiar, but the moment I heard his name, I felt it right away.
An 8-star wizard who betrayed the Garam Society and surrendered to the empire in his past life, some called him the main culprit who ruined the Garam Kingdom.
He may not be directly related to me, but that doesn’t mean he’s someone I’ll look at very favorably.
Anyway, he is the one who committed the act I hate the most: betrayal.
“I think the situation will only get worse if we just wait and see anyway, so I’ll take action. “Senior, please stay still.”
“what? hey! for a moment… … !”
Without any time to stop her, she ran out into the crowd of people.
* * *
The powerful magic and lethality emanating from his large body.
Even at a glance, I could see that he was not an ordinary person.
A woman’s voice rang out in a tense confrontation that seemed as if it would explode at the slightest touch.
“Please stop.”
Soon, the mouths of the academy members who discovered Lunav began to open one by one.
Charon couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he found her.
“Lu, Lunav?”
Set’s eyes widened as if he was surprised.
“Lunab, why are you here?”
“I went on an experiential learning trip with Prince Set here. “I’m going to explore an unnamed ruin in this town.”
“Exploring ruins! What nonsense… … ?”
“It’s no different from the reason Charon came to visit, right?”
Charon’s mouth was blocked at that single word.
Runab, who took the lead in the conversation, immediately asked a question.
“First, let me ask Prince Set what he is most curious about. “Where are the villagers?”
After hesitating for a moment, Charon answered in a restrained voice.
“The residents of Nodeli are currently gathered at the village chief’s house. I was gathering information while asking for permission to visit the ruins safely. “I would like to inform you that I have not committed any impure acts in the name of the Garam Society.”
“Is that so?”
Lunav looked back at the set and said.
“Are these people you know?”
“They are people from the magic society I belong to. “I guess they came to explore the ruins just like us.”
Despite Set’s suspicious gaze, Lunab only responded calmly.
“I will make the decision… … .”
In the end, when she expressed her intention to see it with her own eyes and make a decision, she nodded.
“Please guide me to where the people are. “Prince Set wants to see it and then judge.”
Charon also asked with a skeptical look.
“… … “Is that man named Set the only companion you have?”
“yes.”
Lunav answered without a second of hesitation.
“Then who is the person behind you?”
Lunav was startled by the momentary feeling of popularity and turned around.
“I am also a companion.”
“Si, Senior Xian?”
Xian, who had told her to hide, suddenly appeared behind her.
“Da, are you Sian Berth?”
As a high-ranking official of the Garam Society, it was impossible not to know his name.
Despite the negative views from the academy members coming from all directions, Sian just stood calmly with his arms crossed.
“First, I will guide you to where the residents are. Let’s go.”
It seemed like there were a lot of things he wanted to ask, but as if he didn’t want to ask them right now, he started guiding right away.
As a result, the waiting set rushed forward.
For now, it seemed like the immediate situation was over.
“What are you thinking? senior?”
“why?”
“Isn’t it okay for people to find out you’re here?”
“Isn’t it the same for you too?”
“Yes, but… … .”
Xian said indifferently.
“Anyway, from the moment Set jumped in, things were bound to go wrong. “It’s better for everyone to criticize each other and stick together.”
“is that so?”
Although she didn’t say anything, Lunav was trembling with anxiety inside.
As Sian comforted her as if it was no big deal, a faint smile appeared on her lips again.
“… … .”
Charon was watching this from not far away, and Xian was also aware of his gaze.
