Start A New Game

Antarctic Tower in Winter Waiting for Sprouts

The two of them stared at each other silently, stiff as a hammock. But it didn't feel so strangely special. Maybe it's because I'm two years old. It was because I finished without regret, and I turned back without foolishness.

Just looking at her with memories not so far away, some elegance was just raising his head slightly in his mind.

“… sigh…”

Zahan sighs, looking at Armada, who is somewhat restless and avoiding his gaze. I expected to see you, but I didn't expect to see you so soon. After a long journey, he is overwhelmed with awkwardness. But that doesn't mean we can't run away. But she's a precious person, a wonderful person.

When he finished his thought, he slowly approached her. The sound of walking on a stone pavement is heard very loud.

Armada pretends to have found him approaching, trembling and struggling.

“It's been a while.”

Sahan smiled lightly and said. Her pupils staring at her were trembling, with both eyes deeply embedded with complex emotions mixed with apology and joy.

“… I really do.. Was it almost two years? ”

Armada tries. He looks him in the eye, looks him straight in the eye, and tries to talk to him.

But it was not as easy as I said. It was quite difficult to see what had happened over the course of two years and his eyes deepened considerably. It was also hard to endure the new emotion that I had pressed on.

So at some point, I found myself staring at the floor, not at his eyes. It can't be understood by the self that has always been overcome. But in this world, there's just so much you don't understand. With that in mind, Armada was able to at least give a quiet smile.

“How have you been? ”

His voice is thicker and sweeter than the past. Armada slowly raises his head. Unlike the deep heart bird, the shape is intact. There is nothing handsome or to tell, and nothing quite so glamorous.

I still miss him so much. I felt refreshed every night when I was sometimes lonely.

“Yes. Good. Mr. Sahan, how are you? I... I've read a lot of papers. You already paid for five books...? ”

My mouth was dry for no reason, and my voice trembled. Armada feels her face flaring with shame. I don't understand why it's getting smaller in front of him. I just want to show myself, but it doesn't work. I feel pathetic and weak all the time.

“It's definitely a good place for the Antarctic Horse Tower to study magic. There's nothing there, but there's nothing there at all, and all the people in the tower are good people, so I was able to work with them. ”

“… right? The scenery is great even if there's nothing there, so... Oh, right! Hoho, is Fladinac still here? ”

“Yes, of course. He's doing just fine. ”

Armada, who is continuing his conversation with him, feels his spirit gradually fading. Her face flares and her pupils shake like an earthquake. I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know if it's because I'm sorry, because I'm embarrassed, or what. At this rate, I think I'll cry even though I know it's not right for me.

“What are you doing here? ”

Then, like a Savior, the Mages of the Tower approached them.

“Er...”

In total, a group of three, one woman and two men stand tall, shifting their heads to look at them twice.

“Hello, I am ‘Sahan’, a wizard from the Antarctic Horse Tower. ”

Despite a brief silence, Saehan approaches them first and gives them a hand to break the silence.

“Oh, by any chance! Oh, I know, I know. That wonderful young wizard. I've read a lot about it in the article! How amazing... Oh my goodness. My name is Midon! ”

With one woman who introduced herself as Midon, she shook hands with the other two wizards.

“But what does this have to do with the Lord? ”

Midon, a young sorcerer who would be interested in such gossip, asked.

“Yes? No big deal. I used to work at Blaze Tower two years ago. An apprentice wizard.Thank you for that. ”

Zahan simply smiled and replied, and Midon was somewhat disappointed with his nothing special answer.

“Well, I should probably get going, so... Ahmada? ”

Seeing that it would be cool for a long time, Shahan looked at the crowd watch he had received from Flatnak.

At his call, Armada trembles, his hands trembling, staring only at distant places.

“… Yes? ”

“I'll be going now. It's been a long time. ”

He gives her a hand. Armada stares blankly at his scattered hands, shouting for some reason.

“... what are you doing? My arm hurts.”

At Saehan's words, she sighs once and holds his hand. It's a lot closer than it used to be. I don't want to let go just because I'm holding it like this, even though it's very tempting. I just want to hold it like this. But unlike her wishes, his hands slip out of his hands first. Armada sighs in sadness without my knowledge.

“Oh...”

“Thank you. I'll be going, then. ”

The short handshake ended quickly, and Saehan said a few more words and left. Armada stares back at him dazed. Again, it's still big enough that I don't think it's a wizard.

“.. what?! What's your relationship? ”

“Wow. You're so tall... I've never seen a wizard that tall before. ”

“But, you know, he's tall. He's not really that tall. Except for abilities."

Each of the three wizards gave a single thought to him. No, except for one who wants to gossip for some reason.

Armada still looks behind him with no answer, feeling the inexhaustible loneliness and bitterness.

“Yes? What's the connection?"

“… not really relevant. Just... my brother's friend. ”

* * *

“Where have you been? ”

When Sahan broke up with Armada and returned to the booked accommodations business, he asked.

“I was just out for a walk. By the way, that's a lot of space. ”

He was amazed at the room, which was almost a ‘house'. The huge space was divided into one living room, three rooms, and two bathrooms.

“Right? I was a little freaked out at first that I only had one room booked, but that would be great. ”

She sits on the couch holding the cushion in her arms, her face glossy and her hair damp.

“By the way, what exactly are we going to do? ”

In her question, Saehan replied, roughly putting down the backpack he brought.

“Mr. Fladinac said, just go and watch. Our tower is a greedy tower, so you can come and watch the other towers fight. ”

“Really? Hmm.”

“Ahem... Mr. Handan, where are you going to sleep? ”

“Excuse me. ”

It points to the room on the right side of the couch. Sahan nods and moves to the room in the opposite direction.

“I'm going to sleep first today. ”

It's still early in the afternoon, but I can't stand the tiredness. Maybe it was because he used his mental strength to keep his composure while meeting Armada.

“Yes? It's still daylight.... Good night. ”

Five wagons stand in line in the middle of Serine Square. Because it looked like a fancy and solid wagon, everyone in the square stopped what they were doing and watched the wagon.

How long have the unfamiliar silences in the plaza that should have been noisy lasted? Finally, the doors of all but one wagon opened, and people literally started pouring out.

Eight people appeared to be riding in a wagon, and a total of 100 people poured out and began to form a line toward a wagon that had not yet been opened.

Finally, the door of the last wagon was opened, and a man wearing a colorful robe engraved with a golden symbol on the foundation of the whole blue. Dermian de Enon, the first-placed wizard of the house, Shealt de Enon, is the eldest and heir to the family of Enon. At the age of 33, he was considered to be working alongside Armada of Blaze among wizards of his age in Segan.

Dermian glances around, satisfied by his cold eyes, and asks the Acolyte who is following him like a shadow.

“You're sure he'll be there today? ”

“Yes, there was a man in the South Pole Horse Tower, and I heard he entered Serine yesterday afternoon. ”

“I see. Good. ”

There was only one reason Dermian came here because he was arrogant and hated being told to come. It was because I heard that a man named 'Sahan’, who is causing a change in the magic world nowadays, attended a 'gathering of towers’ under the name 'Attendance of the Lord's Representative.'

The grimoire he wrote, ‘Water Shield,' ‘Ice Fog Armor,' combined with 'Ice Fog Armor,' and another magic, 'Giant Soldier,’ and ‘Ice Fog Armor Golem.’ His status has now surpassed the level of a mere young but talented wizard.

It is not at the level of 'surpassing’ the top position of the wizard that is the next place, namely his mother occupies. In a chatty age, he was pouring out an article that he would soon take the name of the greatest wizard on the continent.

And the Dermian, who did not want to see it, did not want to hear it, was in such a position to be seen and heard, felt uneasy. Of course, it was not to dislike his talents.

However, the "ability to write magic books" and "ability to deal well with magic and mana" are different things. It is because the former's talents were also acknowledged by others, but they were more confident in the ‘latter’ and the latter was also acknowledged.

Of course, the former is a peaceful principle and a more valuable talent now called the Continental Stabilizer, but there is no lasting peace.

“Let's go. ”

Dermian hurried to the mansion he had prepared for this. Every step you take gives you a look of admiration and aspiration. He closed his eyes and tasted the gaze. Oh, what a wonderful, beautiful world.

“Oops!”

“Oops!!! Are you okay?! Oh my gosh! Oh my!!"

Dermian nearly stumbles over a rock while walking blindfolded. He yells louder than he needs to and looks to kill his servant.

“... What a fuss. ”

The user bites the molars tightly, then yells at the underlings with a quiet, angry voice as possible.

“.. I'm sorry. I'm worried about something else.”

“Done! Anyway, you idiot... Let's get going. ”
