Chapter 279
That night.
8 hours before returning to Korea.
Adela came to visit my hotel room.
“I’m sorry for calling you when I’m resting.”
There was something I really wanted to say, so when I received a message asking me to come to the hotel, I ran to it in one step.
It’s really something to be thankful for.
“no. It’s not too far, and you don’t have to worry about it.”
Adela replied with a look that didn’t bother her at all.
“So, what is the important business?”
Adela asked me with a serious expression.
Apparently, it’s not common for me to call a hotel directly like this, so they seem to think it’s a pretty serious issue.
“You don’t have to look so serious. It’s an important request, but it’s not dangerous or anything like that.”
“aha.”
Adela’s expression relaxed at once.
“I don’t even need to tell you back. I will tell you directly.”
I got up and picked up Miho, who was sleeping curled up in the corner behind the bed.
“Can you take care of Miho for a while?”
“… … What about Miho?”
Adela asked with a surprised look on her face.
I don’t think I would have ever imagined that I would be asked such a favor.
“uh. about two days? would that be possible?”
“About two days, somehow, but… … .”
Adela tilted her head slightly as if wondering.
“Didn’t you say that since Miho is connected by a special magic, she can be summoned freely?”
“right.”
I had already informed Adela about whether or not Miho was summoned.
She must have met Master. Adelaine knew most of the things, so there was no need to hide such trivial things.
So I just told the truth.
“To dare entrust such Miho to me… … .”
Adela’s expression became serious again.
“if… … . Am I in danger right now?”
“what?”
suddenly?
“No, I thought he was trying to keep Miho as his bodyguard.”
I knew roughly what kind of thought flow led to such a conclusion.
It was a very plausible inference.
however.
“no.”
That’s not the reason at all.
There is no danger to Adela’s safety.
If it’s dangerous, I’m more dangerous.
“You said it at first. It’s not a dangerous problem.”
“aha. And then I saw it. Then why… … ?”
“just. I’m having a bit of a problem I can’t reverse summon Miho right now. That’s why I asked you to take care of it for a while.”
“ah… … .”
Adela said, ‘Such a secret… … He exclaimed with a clear look on his face.
“It’s hard to take Miho on the plane tomorrow, so take care of it in the meantime. That’s what you mean.”
“That’s it.”
The reason I was able to summon Miho freely up until now was because of Mimir’s book.
However, now Mimir’s Book has finished its role and has completely lost its function.
Now that Mimir’s Book is gone, that’s impossible.
“But then, what should I do when I go back to Korea? I can’t leave Miho in France like this… … .”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Even though reverse summoning is difficult, summoning is possible. I plan to summon you as soon as I return to Korea.”
“ah. The ranged summon itself seemed to work without a problem. understand.”
Adela nodded her head in agreement.
“how is it. May I ask you?”
“yes. Sure. I will take Miho with me for two days.”
Adela looked at Miho who was dozing in my arms and reached out her hand.
It was a gesture to hand over Miho.
As it was, I slowly handed Miho over to Adela.
As soon as he touched Adela’s hand, Miho’s ears twitched.
It showed a momentary reaction to the third person’s touch.
“sorry. Are you awake?”
However, the rejection reaction was short-lived.
Soon after realizing that it was Adela holding him, he put on a drowsy expression.
He yawned loudly, leaned his face against Adela’s chest, and slept soundly.
“You look very tired.”
“right. I guess it was because I overworked myself in the underground lab.”
Judging from my experience so far, I wonder if I will just sleep like that for at least 2-3 weeks.
It could be more than that.
It’s because I summoned Master’s spiritual body and possessed it in my body.
The aftereffects will not be easily resolved.
“What can I give you for rice?”
“You don’t have to give it.”
“Miho… … . Are you not eating anything?”
“uh. Miho is a divine beast that controls the soul. I don’t even talk about material things.”
Miho is sleeping in Adela’s arms with a happy expression on her face.
I gently scratched Miho’s head with my index finger.
Miho sighed as if he was happy.
“If you really want to take care of something, please take care of mana. Mana is the main source of energy. Because I like condensed mana. She should be able to take care of it during training.”
“Condensed mana. All right.”
Adela looked down at Miho curiously.
It seems quite strange that mana is used as a stock.
“But, will you like my mana too?”
“You will like it. If your mana wasn’t good in the first place, I wouldn’t have followed you, right?”
It’s okay to say it with my own mouth, but Miho has a picky personality in the world.
If there’s something I don’t like, I won’t allow it.
The proof is that he never allowed his heart to Mimir.
The fact that Miho gave her heart meant that she liked everything about Adela.
The soul, the body, and even the nature of the mana he had.
It probably has something to do with the constitution of the ‘Sol Lunari’ family.
“Oh yeah. I was going to ask that Have you gotten used to the mana circulation method for the Sol Lunari family?”
“no… … . Well, first of all, I changed the mana circulation method as you said… … .”
“Looks like it’s not going well.”
“… … yes. It’s kind of awkward… … .”
Adela is currently training the new mana cycle method.
It is a special mana circulation method tailored to the mana chain Sol Lunari family. You seem to be having a bit of a hard time mastering this.
After all, mana circulation is completely ingrained in the body like a habit, so it is not easy to change it.
No wonder Adela is struggling.
“I know roughly what the situation is. For now, I’ll save my words. If you give vague advice before seeing it for yourself, there is a high possibility that it will become poisonous.”
Those who give advice like this should be more careful.
“Let’s talk about this after we return home. It would be better if you could see it for yourself.”
“yes. Please.”
A frown flowed from Adela’s eyes.
He already had an expression of anticipation after returning home.
* * *
next morning.
I got on the plane I had booked and went home.
Since we moved as quietly as possible, there were no crowds or anything.
We boarded the plane safely and arrived at Incheon International Airport.
Fortunately, I didn’t get much attention in Incheon either.
I took advantage of that opportunity and left Incheon International Airport as quickly as possible.
“Eh. It’s no fun.”
way home.
Captain Charles yawned with an expression of insignificance.
“There were no raids during the flight. No airport raids. It’s boring.”
“Why are they attacking me? They don’t even know I’m involved in this.”
“You never know. opponent is opponent You might already know that Luan is you.”
“… … I cannot deny it.”
The opponent is the black magic tower.
Among them, it is ‘Hermes’, an executive with the ability to access all the information in the world.
As Captain Charles said, it’s not impossible that my information could have been leaked.
“Anyway, apart from trivial things, it’s fortunate. Being this quiet means they really don’t know that you are Luan Palatia.”
“yes.”
With this, any possibility is gone. The black mage tower guys don’t know about my identity at all.
Now, I think I can shake off the last remaining worries.
“Haaam. Then you can start preparing the plan with peace of mind.”
plan.
It was referring to the plan to wipe out the spies prior to the raid on the base of the Black Magic Tower.
“How long have you been ready?”
“About 20%?”
“Already? Is it really fast?”
“What is it? Because Madame is preparing while cutting down on sleep. The red mage tower lord and the green mage tower lord are also very cooperative. I think it will be ready within three months at the latest.”
“Three months. It’s just right.”
“right. Well, to be honest, I want to move it forward by a month… … .”
Considering that the Black Mage Tower will finish all maintenance, it would be better to do things as quickly as possible.
“It was called overpayment. No need to fret too much. Three months is fast enough.”
but that’s greed
Doing things quickly means doing things roughly.
If that happens, the probability that our information will leak somewhere increases.
Then everything is a joke.
It’s right to just go safe.
“know. am i stupid It’s just a pity.”
Captain Charles, with his chin strap on the back of his head, leaned back against the back of the chair.
“Anyway, please prepare well for the Korean side.”
“Shouldn’t that request be made to my father, not me?”
My father is in charge of preparing the Korean side of the plan to destroy the spy.
You shouldn’t say that to me, but to your father.
“it’s okay. I don’t want to mess with that guy. What the hell is that guy nagging so much? Ugh.”
Captain Charles trembled with an expression that he did not want to even imagine.
“The real guy. Are you saying you’re a different person when you’re around and when you’re not around? I made up my mind at all this time. Inhyuk Shin. When I talk to that man, I will definitely take you with me. Or I can’t speak.”
“Certainly, the head of the family has a soft side to young Ha-yul.”
Mr. Seok-hyeon, who had been concentrating on driving while remaining silent all along, threw a small smile at me.
“Are you the father?”
“yes. You may think that you are not the Bocchan. Certainly, only Master Hayul has a soft side.”
Mr. Seokhyun answered firmly.
“It’s not just soft, it’s almost like hongsi-level softness on the verge of rotting.”
Captain Charles also clicked his tongue.
If you see those two talking like that, it might be like that, but… … .
… … I’m not sure.
“You will probably find out soon. Because the young master has a good eye for it.”
“It’s a fact that he has good eyesight, but I don’t know. Because that guy is a gem disease on this side. Maybe forever unknown?”
Captain Charles glanced at me with an expression as if he were looking at his cute nephew.
“Oh, and kid. What you asked for… … . ah.”
Captain Charles stopped talking and secretly glanced at Mr. Seok-hyeon.
Can’t I just say it here? It was the look of thinking.
“it’s okay. I was thinking of asking Mr. Seok-hyeon as well.”
“Oh yeah?”
Captain Charles let out a sigh of relief as if he was fortunate.
“Then I’ll just tell you. The independent researcher you requested. There is one person who perfectly meets the criteria you mentioned.”
“… … Perfect?”
“uh. perfectly.”
These were very demanding conditions. Is there anyone who can perfectly fulfill that?
“You must have heard the name too? It’s Terun.”
“If it’s Terun… … . Terun Citrea?”
“that’s right. I know.”
My eyes slowly widened.
“That, you mean the first AI developer, right? Called the mother of AI sorcery… … .”
“Exactly.”
genius among geniuses.
A person who is said to be the best in the world in terms of AI.
Terun Citrea.
No, the late Terun Citrea.
“That person… … . Are you alive?”
He is a legendary researcher known to have passed away 63 years ago at the age of 106.
