Episode 59. link (5)
A rainbow-colored magic stone the size of a small shield.
Sages in blue robes sat around the magic stone.
Currently, few of them have normal facial expressions.
There are more people standing than sitting.
Most of them could not close their eyes and mouths, and just stared at the face of the informant who had come to deliver the news.
“Well, what does that mean? Lucion and Kadelina are missing… … ?”
“It is the same as I said. “After the final manifestation of divine energy near Luwen, their energy was completely extinguished.”
The informant spoke in a calm tone as if he had already anticipated the wise men’s reaction, but he was also unable to understand the current situation.
The greatest race on earth, the dragon, has gone missing.
The horse was not only missing, but in fact close to extinction.
Because there was nothing on this earth right now to feel their traces.
These two artifacts, each losing its luster, were the proof.
“As you can see, both of these ‘Dragon Stones’ have now lost their luster. They made it clear when they first handed us this artifact. The moment the light of these stones disappears, they disappear from this world… … .”
Of course, that will never happen, so you are ordered to simply take our instructions literally.
Neither the dragon who spoke, nor the wise men who heard it, nor anyone else expected something like that to happen.
“Lu, you said it was near Luwen, right? Have you been to the place where their energy was last manifested?”
“Investigators searched in every possible way, even using detection magic, but only a series of battle traces were found, and nothing else was found. Even small things like blood stains or scales… … .”
The more I heard, the more absurd it was.
While everyone is making blank faces, unable to accept reality,
A middle-aged man sitting closest to the rainbow-colored magic stone was watching the current situation with a very serious expression.
It was ‘Regens Rainriver’, the head of the Garam Kingdom’s Magic Society and one of the few people on the continent who holds the title of Great Sage.
“Hmm… … .”
All the eyes of the wise men turned to him at the brief sigh that came out along with the wind from his nose.
Regens’ gaze was directed to the faded Dragon Stone.
“If there were any traces of battle other than that of Lucion and Cardelina… … This would mean that both of them lost their lives in that battle. “Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, that’s right! However, Lucion and Cardelina are actually people who possess power of 8 stars or higher… … .”
“What is the use of giving titles to those who are already dead? There is no need to praise them any more.”
Regens raised his hand and instructed them to stop respecting the dragons.
“But we need to think more carefully about that battle. “If not a single drop of blood was found, isn’t it possible that the person who killed the two dragons used magic to erase their traces?”
“But Mr. Regens! As you know, the investigators’ magic level is not that low. Most of them would have been 7-star or higher, but they couldn’t find it even with their detection magic, right? If you don’t want to do that, you have to be at least 8 stars… … .”
“He must have the dark attribute.”
It is not a magic attribute focused on killing and actual combat, but an attribute specialized for hiding and camouflage.
If traces of the location were to be truly erased with magic, the caster’s magic level would have to be much higher than the magic level of the investigators who used the detection magic.
“He killed a dragon instead of anything else, but if he really did that, it wouldn’t be at the level of the investigators.”
Regens said it wasn’t surprising.
“No matter what, the darkness attribute… … .”
Among high-level wizards known to the world, those with dark attributes were very rare.
In fact, reaching a high level with the dark attribute itself is highly unlikely.
However, Regens was tapping the table with his fingers and repeating the word darkness to himself, as if he was obsessed with the attribute of darkness.
“Luwen was where the Royal Academy was, right?”
When he opened his mouth again, what he was referring to was none other than the Academy.
“yes. But there, Lucion… … No, the only person who can kill Lucion and Cardelina is the chancellor, Kundel Kwizel. However, I understand that his attribute is not darkness… … .”
“There is no law that says you should be the president. The special skill of the dark attribute is concealment, so there may be a high-level dark attribute holder with hidden powers hiding there. I think it’s worth looking into. Let’s expand the scope of the investigation to include the academy.”
“Yes, Mr. Regens!”
When the investigator who received the order left, Regens closed his eyes.
Everyone in the conference hall just looked at him in silence.
No one spoke until he, lost in thought, opened his eyes again and opened his mouth.
“They say that sometimes in life we are subject to demons, and from what I see, we are in exactly that state right now.”
It was a calm tone, but it was filled with an unknown sense of discomfort.
“What happened to your suggestion to find a new trader?”
“We are currently looking through the entire continent, but it will likely take some more time to find a trader with as much ability and practicality as Zikerman Albas.”
“Did you ask me to find an alternative supply route for the beast’s blood?”
“Well, we are looking in all directions, but it seems that additional supply will be difficult unless we infiltrate a new supplier into the frontline area. “Most of the blood that had been smuggled into the black market by some unscrupulous supply agents has already been recovered.”
Regens let out a long snort again.
“Do you think that everything that has happened so far is a coincidence?”
At this, everyone in the conference hall swallowed their dry saliva.
“Renald Crimson, who had supplied us with the blood of demonic beasts, was assassinated by someone on the front line, and Zikerman Albas, who had provided us with research supplies and human test subjects for several years, was also suddenly assassinated. In addition, the two dragons, Lucion and Cardelina, who had contributed the most to the existence of our Magic Society, were extinct. “Is all of this really just a coincidence?”
A mixture of anger and doubt was visible in Regens’ eyes.
“I absolutely don’t think so. There is definitely some connection between these misfortunes that happen to us. “Unless we figure it out and solve it, I don’t think there will be any progress for our Magic Society.”
It’s just a mental symptom, not physical evidence.
However, the other wise men could not help but think that this series of events was not a coincidence but that there was some connection.
However, there is no way to know that yet, so it is frustrating.
Regens stood up and spoke as if warning the wise men sitting at the table.
“So everyone should brace themselves. It seems like there are signs of some unknown change on this continent right now. “Only by overcoming this will we be able to move on to a brighter future!”
After finishing speaking, Regens turned around and disappeared into a dark space where there was no light.
Behind his back, the golden academy seal engraved on his robes was emitting a vivid light.

“how is it? delicious?”
“huh! It’s really delicious! “The snacks Arin gives me are the most delicious!”
Nana looks ecstatic, as if she doesn’t need heaven.
Both cheeks were filled with the snacks that Princess Arin had brought.
You guys are playing well.
It was like seeing young sisters who were getting along well.
Actually, I am the one who gave permission to come see Nana, so I am at a loss to say anything.
Now that I think about it, I guess it’s the first time again?
Bringing another outsider into my room.
Well, it’s not like there’s a pile of corpses, there’s nothing to prevent them from coming in.
I wasn’t very happy about the fact that a stranger who wasn’t even mine came in.
-clatter
Still, since an important guest was visiting, Brian made some tea and quietly placed it on the table in front of the sofa.
Sweat was pouring down from my tense face.
I mean, I’m really good at doing things that I’m not told to do.
Putting the car aside, Arin, who saw Brian, looked at me and asked.
“Is it really true that there are no other knights besides Brian?”
“As you can see, it is.”
Actually, he wasn’t originally scheduled to be there either.
“Surprising? I thought you would somehow bring her maid from the mansion? Her name was Emily, I guess?”
You somehow remembered the name.
Well, I guess it’s not unreasonable to say that she’s a sad maid who has the second-best presence.
“I didn’t necessarily want to bring her to the academy because she wasn’t a Guardian Knight. “Of course she had no desire to use tricks.”
I thought it would be better for her to stay in Belias rather than follow me to the academy.
“Arin. “It’s time to go to classical literature class.”
“Oh, so it’s already like that?”
Resimus, who was checking his watch, informed me that class time was approaching.
In response, Princess Arin hurriedly took acupuncture needles and began preparing to leave.
Okay, it’ll be a little quieter now.
My body is sore, so after those two leave, I’ll do some exercise to ease my mind… … .
“… … ?”
Princess Arin stood up and immediately looked at my face.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Why are you doing this?”
I was a little taken aback by the unexpected question.
“Should I go to class? “We’re in the same class.”
under… … .
I took a deep sigh in my heart.
This princess, did she really come here aiming for this?
“It’s Nana! I’ll go to class with my sisters and Papa! Until then, have fun with Brian!”
“huh! “Welcome, Arin!”
My doctor was no longer important.
With Nana’s face waving brightly, my body was already outside the dormitory.
“You weren’t trying to ding me again, were you? It’s good to take care of Nana, but the biggest duty of a student is to take classes! “If you keep missing out and failing, isn’t it you who is in trouble?!”
I don’t know what to do with your thoughtful heart.
Just as I was contemplating whether to just slightly look away and get out, a familiar guy was approaching from in front of me.
It was Kranz.
“… … !”
The guy who spotted me turned and ran away without the slightest hesitation.
Don’t misunderstand, I told you to do that.
I just told him to disappear on his own as soon as he encountered me.
“That guy just now is your brother, right?”
“Yeah, we’re not that close.”
I immediately blocked the room so that nothing else could be said.
I walked again, and the moment I arrived in front of the main building, I encountered another familiar face at the end of the hallway.
It was Barrett Louismill, limping on one leg, being supported by knights.
His arrogant face still looked the same.
“Sigh!”
The moment he spotted me, he screamed, ordered the knights to carry him, and then ran away.
It was a speed comparable to when assassins kill their target and disappear.
“What’s wrong, Sian? “What’s there?”
“it’s nothing.”
Without showing any emotion, I just climbed the stairs and entered the classroom.
“… … .”
All the eyes of the dozens of people who were talking noisily turned to me.
Faces that look as if they are wondering why I am here.
I didn’t really want to pay attention to those shallow looks, so I just went to my seat and sat down.
It’s already been two months since I entered the academy.
As I said before, this place is just a fence to protect my current identity.
Even though there were some pretty unusual things going on, if possible, you should not stand out and continue your current life quietly.
And then we have to fix it step by step.
All the things I should have done but couldn’t.
The connection that exists now must continue in the future.
Then it will collapse on its own.
A similar plan from some cunning and deviant devil son.
When I think about that moment, a smile comes to my face without me knowing.
