Chapter 188
“I will say just one more time. Show up. assassin.”
Adela’s momentum grew sharper. Its momentum is like that of a master sword sharpened by an artisan himself.
It was clearer and sharper than before, during the open raid incident.
A sense of intimidation not seen in training.
Could it be that he is a rare genius who has absorbed the grace of God?
He seemed like a completely different person from two weeks ago.
“If you don’t want to come out… … .”
Adela’s eyes were colored gold.
The Stairt family’s arcane magic, Mind’s Eye, was fully activated.
Whoaaaaagh!
The brilliance of the light bullets floating around Adela also became more intense.
It shines brilliantly with the momentum to completely erase the impurities in front of your eyes.
“I will take a hard line.”
Adela’s light bullets spread in all directions.
The light bullets spread as if enveloping the opponent.
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
The light bullets flew all at once into the air.
The momentum of that light bullet is unusual.
It would be difficult for not only the same 5th circle mage, but also the 6th circle mage to respond to that attack.
Adela’s magic that had just been emitted was of that level.
“… … Write.”
however.
“This wasn’t in my plans.”
The opponent is neither a 6th Circle Wizard nor a 7th Circle Wizard, but an 8th Circle Wizard.
Adela is not an opponent that can be matched.
“It’s embarrassing. … … aww Is your friend a bit heavy?”
Charles lightly waved his hand.
The mana that was concentrated in Charles’ hand spread in all directions.
“Well, it looks heavy at first glance.”
And the next moment, Adela’s light bullets disappeared in an instant.
The mana scattered by Charles covered Adela’s light bullets, and then applied pressure to crush them.
“… … !”
Adela’s expression was astonished.
She noticed how out of the standard the magic Charles had just been using was.
“… … It’s the level of a wizard. I have to run away.”
After quickly assessing the situation, Adela grabbed my hand and turned around.
No, I was trying to turn it.
“are you okay. You don’t have to run away.”
If I had been relaxing my body, I would have been.
“okay. are you okay. I am not a bad person.”
The figure of Captain Charles, who had been hiding, slowly began to emerge.
He is scratching the back of his head with an expression of trouble in the world.
“Oh, of course I can be very, very bad with certain groups, but that doesn’t apply to you.”
In that state, he trudges out.
All kinds of lights from Seoul shone on Director Charles’ face, which was hidden in darkness.
“you are… … .”
Adela’s pupils trembled.
The wariness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and the emotion of bewilderment took its place.
“oh. what. I know?”
Adela’s reaction was that of someone who knew who Charles was.
That is why vigilance disappears, and bewilderment takes its place.
“An informal counter-terrorism group. No official name. Commonly known as the leader of the hounds, Charles.”
“what. Do you really know?”
Charles laughed hysterically.
“How does a student living in a safe country like Korea know me?”
An informal counter-terrorism group.
Hounds, an unauthorized mercenary group, are not very famous in Korea.
Of course.
Korea is a safe country with relatively little ties to war.
There was no way he was interested in the hounds that went on missions in war zones around the world.
“No, more than that, how do you know my face? There’s no way it’s a picture or something, it’ll remain.”
As much as he is doing the dangerous job of being a war mercenary, exposure of his identity is directly related to death.
That’s why the members of the hounds, including the leader Charles himself, are not disclosed to anyone’s information.
“I saw the picture by chance.”
“… … Write. Sang-chul Sang-cheol is that nobleman. If you have any photos, delete them all.”
Charles growled ferociously.
“Well, everyone knows. It doesn’t matter as long as it’s circulated on the Internet, but… … .”
‘I’m a bit annoyed though,’ murmured Charles.
“Hmm. Anyway, maybe this is good.”
Charles looks at me with a mysterious expression.
It’s the expression that I don’t know what to do with this situation right now.
“What is it? I have no choice but to ask you to keep it a secret.”
“… … Isn’t that the only way?”
“yes.”
Captain Charles and I looked at Adela at the same time.
“I can’t tell you the details, but there is some kind of deal between me and Captain Charles.”
“transaction… … .”
Adela’s eyes narrowed.
“You came here today because you had something to say to me about that transaction.”
The relationship between Captain Charles and me is not something I can say even if I want to.
I’m sorry Adela, but I can only say this much.
“… … All right.”
Adela nodded.
He must have a lot of questions, but he just nodded, realizing that I had no intention of saying more.
“Then I will keep this matter private.”
“thank you.”
I expressed my sincere gratitude to Adela for her generosity and understanding.
“… … Also this time?”
Charles slightly tilted his head and murmured softly.
“You seem to be leaking a lot of secrets to him? Seeing them say ‘this time too’?”
“… … yes, what.”
I blurted out moderately.
* * *
“Then, I’ll go back to the party first.”
“sorry. go first I’ll be going soon.”
“I’ll see you later when I get a chance.”
Adela left Shin Ha-yul and Charles behind and returned to the party first.
It seemed that the two of them had something to talk about, so they moved away without noticing.
‘… … Does the leader of the hounds have anything to gain from a mere student?’
Adela sat on one side of the lobby at the party, lost in thought.
Shin Ha-yul and Charles.
Charles and Shin Ha-yul.
It was a completely unexpected combination.
‘What is it?’
What could a mercenary have to offer a deal to a mere student?
I can’t even think of cancer.
‘Being scammed… … Probably not.’
Unless someone else knows, there is no such thing as Shin Ha-yul being scammed.
You’re never being scammed.
‘It’s not like a hunting dog would be a group that would commit fraud against a single student.’
An unauthorized mercenary group, Hounds, is not well known in Korea, but is quite famous in other countries.
The only mercenary group established to oppose the world’s worst criminal group, the Black Mage Tower.
Unlike other mercenaries and war companies, it enjoys considerable fame as a righteous man who helps good citizens and realizes justice.
I don’t think such beings would come all the way to Korea to scam a student.
‘Then he really wants something from Ha Yul… … .’
What does the 8th-circle archmage want from an 18-year-old prospect?
Adela’s brain spun like a top.
Trading is to get something from someone else that you don’t have.
In other words, it means that the core of the transaction is that the 8th Circle mage does not have it, and only the retainer has it.
‘If it’s only for Ha Yul… … .’
genius brain.
Creative use of magic.
innate sense.
Natural talent and effort to back it up.
other than that and so on.
‘There are too many… … .’
There were too many special things that only Shin Ha-yul had.
‘No. this is my opinion You have to think objectively.’
Something that anyone in the world would consider special.
What could be like that?
The conclusion came quickly.
‘Unsuitable. And God’s eyes.’
Speaking of special things that only Shin Ha-yul has, there are only those two.
And being a non-conformist among them is not a particular advantage, so it is excluded.
Then there is only one thing left.
‘new idea.’
It can be said that the reason Charles approached Shin Ha-yul was because of Shin An.
‘It’s also timely.’
It is all the more certain when you see that he approached right after returning to Korea.
More credence was added to the hypothesis.
‘Then the key now is what General Manager Charles is trying to gain through Hayul’s new eye… … .’
Adela’s thoughts began to accelerate rapidly.
Establish appropriate hypotheses, refute them on their own, and connect them with new hypotheses.
Dozens or hundreds of hypotheses flashed through Adela’s mind.
‘The new eye has a special advantage in detection… … . So, are you asking Hayul to find something?’
It’s been such a long time.
Adela has managed to come to a conclusion.
‘okay. Then it makes sense that Captain Charles approached in a state of stealth.’
We were making a deal, but I wondered why he had to approach me in stealth.
It would be understandable if it was to check the detective power of Shin Ha-yul’s new design.
‘Then what are you thinking of asking me to find?’
I didn’t have to think too long about this.
An unauthorized mercenary group, the Hound.
Another name is Black Magic Tower Specialized Disposal Team.
There is only one thing they want and want.
‘Black Magic Tower.’
The Black Magic Tower, an unknown criminal group that has not been able to obtain proper information for decades.
Maybe he’s trying to borrow the power of God’s Eye to get information about that mage tower.
‘It’s quite possible. then… … .’
Adela’s thoughts continued to accelerate one after another.
* * *
The party, which lasted for about 4 hours, was all over.
I returned to my room after midnight.
As soon as I returned to my room, I just lightly changed my mind and went straight to Mimir’s book.
I did not forget to wear ‘A.S’ to relieve fatigue.
“Mimir. I’m here.”
Since Miho was sleeping on the other side of the sofa, he said it as quietly as possible.
“Are you late?”
Mimir, who had been reading a book while lying face down, sat up as it was.
“It’s gotten a little longer since we talked.”
I sat down next to Mimir.
Miho jumped up on top of my thighs.
“Woke up? You can sleep more.”
Miho gently waggled his tail. Now that I’m here, he cries with a coquettish sound, as if he’s asking if sleep is a problem.
“okay. There is only our Miho.”
He gently stroked Miho’s hair.
“Ugh. That fox.”
“That’s a fox.”
“So. You said it right.”
Suddenly, over Mimir’s shoulder, he saw the book Mimir was reading.
“For some reason, I wanted to answer right away. Weren’t you reading a comic book?”
“… … Anyone who hears it will think I only read comic books 24 hours a day.”
“no?”
“no it’s not? I was just accidentally reading a comic book every time an heir came. I only read comic books for about 8 hours a day!”
“… … .”
It seems like 8 hours would be enough, but… … .
Well, if you’re that confident, then you have nothing to say.
“Tell me if you need another book.”
“I need it now.”
“… … also? Have you already read everything I brought you yesterday?”
I prepared over 100 books.
You read all of them already?
“no. not comic books. Books related to modern magic.”
“aha.”
that’s what you said
Come to think of it, among the books I got yesterday, there were no books related to modern magic.
“Roughly what kind? Can I just get all the famous books that are suitable for me like last time?”
“hmm. It’s good if you get all the famous ones… … . Apart from that, I would like to ask for a variety of books on artificial intelligence AI chips.”
“Artificial intelligence AI chip… … ? Why is that all of a sudden?”
“It is the crystallization of modern magic technology. Because the scholar’s blood boils.”
Mimir looked like a researcher thirsty for research.
It was a greedy pupil filled with a longing for new knowledge.
“If that’s the case, I’ll do my best to help.”
As much as I love knowledge, I like those who love knowledge.
If that’s the case, there’s no reason not to save it.
I’ll have to bring you all of the top-secret materials stored separately within the family.
I made up my mind.
“thank you.”
Mimir laughed excitedly.
Seeing that, I felt better for no reason.
“ah. that’s right. Mimir. You know Master’s staff.”
“Why? What, did the results come out?”
“uh. I’m here.”
I remembered the conversation I had with Captain Charles earlier.
‘I’m afraid you’ll wait, I came as soon as possible. If I had known his senses were that good, I would have come later. It sucks.’
After cutting off the topic like that, Captain Charles said the following.
‘The staff you asked for. I think I’ll get it in the near future.’
“I’m done talking with the museum. A deal to be formally transferred by writing a contract within this week.”
That said, the story ended very well.
