Embrace the Magic (129)

Elder Kendrick bowed his head and prayed, hoping that this would be the end of it. As he had hoped, somehow Francis Topju would come through.

In fact, Rodin didn’t capture the children just to prevent them from creating artifacts. It was an act done because they coveted Rodin’s knowledge of artifacts.

But if that story came up here, he was finished.

If you do something out of greed and selfishness rather than excessive loyalty, you will lose your place even within the Tower.

“Eww. Tsk tsk tsk.”

Knock! Knock!

At that moment, a group of people came running towards Francis Tower Lord. The magicians of Landes Tower who had set out with Francis Tower Lord had finally arrived.

They missed Francis Tower in the middle. With their skills, it was impossible to keep up with the 7th Circle Archmage flying at full power.

Fortunately, Rodin moved in a straight line, and so did Francis Tower Master who followed him. Thanks to this, the magicians of Landes Tower were able to follow along without getting lost.

“I meet the Lord of the Tower.”

“Let me catch my breath first.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Francis Topju briefly glanced at his subordinate wizards, then turned his gaze back to Elder Kendrick. Then he let out a deep sigh.

“Ha, is there such a thing as a pity?”

Francis Topz moved slowly, heading in the direction of Elder Kendrick.

Elder Kendrick sighed in relief at the sight of Francis Topju approaching. Judging from his expression, he didn’t seem particularly upset.

‘You’re alive.’

At that moment, when I was feeling relieved, Francis Topju waved his hand lightly.

“Explosion! Overlap!”

Phew!

“Kwaaak!”

Francis Topz cut off Elder Kendrick’s arm, without any warning or foreshadowing.

“What, what is this!”

“Your Majesty!”

“Elder!”

The eyes of the Landes Tower magicians who arrived late and were unaware of the situation widened.

He was very curious as to why his own master was suddenly angry and what crime the one who lost his arm had committed.

On the other hand, the wizards of the Cedria Tower, who had thought that things would just pass, were equally surprised.

They didn’t think that Francis Tower was angry. They thought that since they had a connection with the Tower, they would just let it go and say that it was a good thing.

“You are not worthy of becoming a wizard. I would like to take my life, but I must endure it because of my connection with the tower lord. However, if you harbor evil thoughts once more, then not only you, but also the tower you belong to will be erased from the world.”

“Ugh…, yes.”

“What do you think? If you think it’s not enough, you can do it yourself.”

Francis Topjoo’s eyes turned to Rodin this time. He asked if he was satisfied with this level of punishment.

“I’ll endure this much for now. But there will be no second chance.”

“Thank you for understanding my situation.”

“I wish the author I hate to see would disappear from my sight.”

Rodin sent word to Elder Kendrick and his wizards to leave.

The matter was settled. Now I didn’t want to see anything related to the Cedria Tower.

“Did you hear that? Go back to the magic tower right now.”

“Okay… Okay. I’ll go back.”

“Yes, Elder.”

Elder Kendrick disappeared with his subordinate wizards. The wizards of Landes Tower, unaware of the situation, were left bewildered.

“My lord. What’s going on….”

“I’ll explain later. What do you plan to do?”

“I plan to rest here for a day.”

As it turned out, this was a fairly large open space. It was the perfect terrain for setting up a campsite.

“It looks like you’re not ready for camping.”

“I have something prepared.”

The carriage had to be taken out of the subspace, and the horse left behind by Cedria’s tower had to be collected. Larry and Bianca were not fully healed either, so they needed to rest.

“I see. What do you plan to do with the corpses of the demons you captured?”

“Well, I didn’t catch it for any special purpose.”

“Then can we dispose of it? I will calculate the price of the body and give you a fair price.”

“Is this a money-making trick?”

Not all demons are worth money. If that were the case, Rodin would have taken all the demons he caught when he came here.

Small demons were mostly not worth much. The best way to dispose of the bodies of hunted demons was to cremate them or bury them in the ground.

“Some demons make money, and some don’t. The ones you kill will obviously make money.”

“Is it useful?”

“Haha, I don’t know. Even if it’s useless, there will be many people who want to buy it.”

This was the first appearance of a giant demon beast in over 1,000 years since its appearance just before the Demon King’s descent. It was a demon beast so significant that it was coveted not only by the Magic Tower but also by the royal family and nobles.

“Do whatever you want.”

“We plan to return to where the demon corpses are. We plan to stay for three or four days. If the children recover, can you talk to me?”

“I will visit my younger siblings when they recover.”

Rodin also wanted to talk to the 7th Circle Archmage.

I wasn’t asking for an answer. I was just curious about the existence of the 7th Circle Archmage. I thought it would be fun to have a casual conversation with him.

“Then I’ll wait. Haren, we should go back.”

“Okay, I’ll go back.”

Those who came out of the Landes Tower also quickly disappeared. Now only the original Rodin group remained.

* * *

Rodin pulled out a carriage from his subspace bracelet. Meanwhile, Jenna had come to find the horses that Matthew, Larry, and Bianca had originally ridden.

“Matthew, take a rest.”

“yes?”

“You must be tired. Get some sleep. I’ll prepare dinner.”

“Please don’t do that……”

Matthew lowered his head before he could finish what he was saying. Rodin had put Matthew to sleep with magic.

“Charis, go in and rest.”

“yes.”

I put Charis in the necklace storage space.

Jenna was just a small piece of paper, so there was no need to put it in a storage space.

But Charis’s arm was still broken and dangling. Healing magic didn’t work on her because she wasn’t a living creature.

The only way to restore the body was to enter the necklace’s storage space.

Rodin and Jenna turned the surrounding area into a campsite.

We took the tent out of the carriage and spread it out on one side of the clearing. We gathered dry branches and made a campfire, and we also boiled soup for a late dinner.

Larry and Bianca, who were still unconscious, were laid on a blanket in the tent. Matthew, who was forced to sleep, was also assigned a tent.

A quiet campsite where only the sound of a campfire can be heard.

Rodin thought about what had happened today. It had only been one day, but so much had happened.

I fought a giant demon and defeated it surprisingly easily. It was thanks to Charis and Jenna blocking the demon from the front. Although Charis was injured, it was a much easier fight than I expected.

In the process, there was an incident where he tried to force magic, which led to danger. Fortunately, he was able to reach the 7th circle by recovering from the phone call, but it was a moment when the circle almost broke.

‘The children were hurt.’

The bracelets Larry and Bianca are wearing are engraved with a magic that allows them to send out some sort of rescue signal.

Larry had completely forgotten about the bracelet. It had been a year and a half since he had given it to me. He hadn’t used it in that time, so it was not surprising that he had forgotten it.

Fortunately, Bianca remembered the existence of the bracelet and injected magic into it. Thanks to that, the rescue signal was safely delivered to Rodin.

But Rodin was in the process of reconstructing his body, so he saw the rescue signal too late.

‘I’ll have to start with Larry’s equipment.’

I decided to stop researching the Magic Stone for the time being. It wasn’t urgent, so I was going to focus on Larry’s equipment first.

‘I also need to make some staff for Bianca to use.’

Unfortunately, Rodin wasn’t familiar with the staff.

I caught Commissioner Elov and got a staff made of Arobain, but I used it for various purposes. I checked out Ellis’ staff on the Western Continent, but it only lasted for a few days.

“Confucius, is there anything that is bothering you?”

“No. I was just thinking about this and that. How are you feeling?”

“I’m okay, I wasn’t seriously hurt.”

The minor wounds on Jenna’s body had long since disappeared. Her equipment had also been restored, and she was no different from before the battle.

“How long will it take for Charis to recover?”

“For an injury of that level, it should be fine in about 5 days.”

“It’s taking longer than I thought.”

“It’s not a cure, it’s a restoration. That’s the limit.”

The battle dolls were not living beings. The healing of Jenna’s minor wounds was not strictly a cure, but rather a restoration.

“You worked hard today.”

“No, I’m sorry I couldn’t be of much help.”

“No. Thanks to you two, I was able to use only big magic with peace of mind.”

When fighting the giant demon, I didn’t even use minor magic. Since I didn’t have to evade or defend in a hurry, I was able to focus on my power.

“Eww. Oppa! No!”

Bianca, whose injuries were slightly less severe, regained consciousness first. She let out a pitiful sound as if she was having a nightmare, but then opened her eyes wide.

“Are you awake?”

“Ro… Dean oppa! Euaaaang!”

“You held up well.”

Rodin hugged Bianca. Bianca cried in his arms.

“Ugh.”

Was that sound loud?

Larry, too, began to stir a little, grimacing and mumbling something unintelligible.

Then, he quickly opened his eyes and looked around.

“You woke up too.”

“Brother Larry! Aaaah! I thought you were dead. Aaaah!”

Bianca, who had been in Rodin’s arms, ran to Larry, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears again.

“Brother. When……”

“How many hours have passed?”

“What about that person?”

The word ‘that guy’ came out of Larry’s mouth. Bianca was staring at Rodin, as if she wanted to know too.

“Elder Kendrick returned to the Cedria Tower. He was one-armed, but he returned alive.”

“You cut off your arm?”

“I didn’t cut it, I ruptured it. It wasn’t me. Another grandfather named Francis punished me.”

Elder Kendrick took the Four Great Towers’ lord too lightly. Francis was by no means a kind and gentle man.

The four major magic towers easily had over 1,000 magicians in them. Landes Magic Tower was the largest of them all.

In order to rise to the position of a towering figure in such a huge place, he had to trample on countless opponents. He had dozens of years of experience in politics, and had been cornered by false accusations and lies hundreds of times.

Elder Kendrick’s flimsy lies had no effect on Francis, who had been through a lot.

Francis didn’t know what Elder Kendrick was hiding, but he knew right away that he was being deceived.

“Why that old man?”

“Well, why is that? I was planning on asking when I met you anyway.”

“Where are you? I want to say thank you.”

Rodin snickered as he watched Larry and Bianca wander around.

Rodin did little to educate Larry and Bianca. He taught them to read and write, and taught them magic. He never taught them manners or etiquette.

But the children grew up well. This must have been thanks to the good education of their two deceased parents.

“It’s too late now. Let’s go see him tomorrow.”

“Oh! Sister Jenna. Thank you.”

“Me? Why me?”

“I don’t know. I think my sister just helped me.”

It wasn’t a wrong statement. It was Charis and Jenna who carried Larry and Bianca, who had collapsed in front of Elder Kendrick, to a safe place.

“I didn’t do anything. Confucius did it all.”

“Still.”

“Huh? What about Mr. Charis?”

“Huh? Uncle Charis isn’t here. No way……”

Bianca’s face turned pale, wondering what she was thinking.

At this, Rodin shook his head and Jenna laughed in vain.

“I’m fine. I’m on reconnaissance.”

“Reconnaissance?”

“Yeah. I sent it forward just in case. We agreed to meet in a city called Hedens.”

Rodin roughly matched the treatment, no, restoration, and travel time that Jenna had mentioned. It seemed that they would arrive at Hedens, a city in the Hedens region, in about three to four days.

Only then did Bianca feel relieved. Larry’s expression also brightened as he felt relieved.

“Ah! Brother, what time is it now?”

“It’s a little past midnight.”

“Brother! I didn’t practice today.”

“Brother Rodin. Me too.”

Larry and Bianca were both the type that thrived on exercise after dark. They had been captured by Elder Kendrick around lunchtime, so they had no time to exercise.

“If you want to do it, do it. It will help you recover.”

“Me too… Ugh, it hurts.”

“me too.”

The scars from the hit have already disappeared. Now, all that remains are the throbbing pain in my joints and the dizziness.

“Get some exercise. It’ll get better.”

“yes.”

They were sent in by carriage. Each of them had been converted into a magic training room and an aura training room.
