Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

"Again?"

"As expected. This is what they're gonna do."

Such a voice was heard in one of the mansions in Frestan. There was also the figure of two magicians, especially famous in Leiria.

One is a muscular man with green hair, and the other is a man with brown hair. Anything that does not know their names is first and foremost famous in this Leiria that would not be there.

It was Riger-Arunya and Ifriel-Nefla who were there, with the title of a special magician with only thirteen, even in Leiria. And this is the main house of the Nefra family in Frestan.

Ryger had been staying at this Nefra family for three days now, consulting with Ifriel, a pal of the Old Knowledge, about the future.

"But I really didn't know the Episcopal Church was ending that boy..."

"That's why I told you. They want to erase the very existence of dark attributes."

Once again, the Episcopal Church's purpose is said and stuck in words, Ifriel. As a matter of fact, Ifriel, as of three days ago, I had heard from Riger that the Episcopal Church was attempting to assassinate Sayya, but at that time I was still half-hearted and unable to believe it.

But not now. The Episcopal Church only had to believe that what Riger was saying was true when he told the fact that Seyya had been appointed a special magician at Riger's prophetic hour.

"But why..."

But Yfriel didn't know. Why does the Episcopal Church want to get that far and get rid of Seyya? Sure, Seyya can use the dark attributes that are said to be heretical forces in Leiria, but more than that, he's a hero who saved Leiria's crisis.

Now alongside that Real-Five, he is recognized by the public as a hero who saved Leiria's future. Because there are even people inside who claim that Seyya should be at the top of Leiria.

Besides, given Seyya's background, it would also be the hope of the young magicians as the magicians of the effort that climbed from the bottom of the elementary magician to the premier magician.

If you're going to think about those things, it's not enough for Saiya to be able to use dark attributes, etc. Instead, I also think that we should appeal to Dacrea that there are magicians in Leiria who can use the dark attributes.

This is probably what all those who know some circumstance as well as Ifriel think.

But Seyya had more secrets than that. It is the mysterious power that suppresses even the top of the Episcopal Church, the Seven Wise Men, who govern this country. If Seyya abuses that power, Seyya will occasionally be able to rule this country from behind again.

So the Seven Wise Men, fearful of the matter, decided to assassinate Sayya. But this fact can never be flushed outside. Because the powerful people who found out about this might use the Seyya thing. So even if I take some condemnation, the Episcopal Church is not telling the truth.

Not knowing that there is such a background, Ifriel demonstrates his disbelief in the Episcopal Church. Is that, after all, because he is a righteous sorcerer, or because the protected sorcerer of Ryger, an old known companion, cannot be allowed to be assassinated for unreasonable reasons?

Either way, Ifriel began to feel that the Episcopal Church was unreliable in this matter.

"So, what are we gonna do?

"What are we going to do?

"It's about that boy. You must be seeing that saint now, huh? We have to go help him right away."

Ifriel knows the Holy Knight that strength. And the horror of its prowess. So he thinks we should go help him about Seyya as soon as possible.

In contrast, Ryger was calm somewhere.

"Calm down. I'm not gonna make it from now on."

"Become..."

Ifriel loses his words to Riger's unexpected words. Because the word sounded like abandoning Seyya.

"Don't be ridiculous. You think it's okay to take away the children's future because of the unassuming circumstances of the adults?

That's what I think because Ifriel has a son the same age as Seyya. But Riger also has a daughter the same age as Seyya. Plus, he's my fiancée. Naturally, you can't abandon Seyya.

"Don't worry. Seyya's not soft enough to be hit by a holy knight."

"What are you saying? He's the Holy Knight, isn't he? There's no chance of winning all this time."

Seiya is dealing with Leiria's most powerful magician. That would be incomparable with the Demon King of Dacrea. Perhaps only Lucifer, who is said to be the Great Demon King, can contend with the Holy Knight.

But Riger was still calm.

"That's not what I meant"

"So what do you mean?

"Think about it. Even the Holy Knight is not a machine. You shouldn't be attacking me right away. Not to mention the place is the Dacrya Empire. I don't move that easily."

I do understand Riger's statement. But that's not the only reason I'm not going to help. Riger still knows something, Ifriel felt.

I don't know what that is. But if Riger is sure, he'll be fine. Yfriel thought so and sat back in the chair where he was about to stand.

"So, what do we do?

"Well, I guess it's processing on this side"

This side of the process is what Leiria can do. But there was only one thing Ifriel could think of, such as what he could do in Leiria.

"You think you're gonna get in the Episcopal Church and stand up? If you do that, the country will collapse."

"Then why don't you let the country collapse once?

Ryger said so and smiled with some inclusiveness.

The place has changed, on the top floor of the Episcopal Church.

There were seven old men who governed Leiria and the figure of one woman.

"First of all, a long undercover assignment, thank you for your hard work. Second."

"Thank you for your words. Sir Conrad."

There he went to the Seven Wise Men and saw Silforno standing on one knee. Silforno was visiting to report an undercover mission to Dacrea II.

"Well, as I'm sure your Lord has heard, today the thirteenth extraordinary magician was born"

"Yeah, he said he chased back the demon king of Dacrea for everything"

"That's right. But that boy has heretical powers, and he's pretty dangerous."

"You did say you put out a crusade mission?

Silforno knows all the details of this opinion, but he never shows such a glimpse in front of the Seven Wise Men.

"Well, the Holy Knight will be fighting by now."

"Really? Then you'll feel safe."

"Hmm. Well, there are dangerous molecules in Leiria."

So much so that Silforno realizes that the revolt of the Reals has already reached the ears of the Seven Wise Men.

"I see. I mean, you want me to keep the dangerous, or the insurgent, under control?

"Well, it will. But there's no need to keep it down. In some cases, there is no alternative to crusading."

It is anomalous that crusades come so easily from the words of the Seven Wise Men. Perhaps the Seven Wise Men are so afraid of Seyya and the people that surround Seyya.

Understanding that, Silforno makes a suggestion to the Seven Wise Men.

"If that's the case, it looks like Riger, the premier magician, is making some disturbing moves."

"Is that true?

"Yes. You think I'm visiting the Nefra family in Frestan for everything"

"It's still that guy."

That look is pretty harsh.

"So here's the suggestion: I'm headed to Frestan to contain the Rigers"

"Hmm. But what about Aquaristan? There's got to be one of those boys over there too."

"Yeah, so why don't you let the third go over there? And then there's one special magician, and I thought Kuzarus would be the right place."

"I see..."

The Seven Wise Men show a little thought and nod to each other, telling Silforno.

"Silforno-Second, your Lord will soon head to Frestan to contain the Rigers. Let the Aquaristan turn to the Third, as the Lord says, and also make a request to Lord Krazus."

Once he lowered his head deeply, Silforo was to leave the room intact.
