The Branded Female Fencer

"What's this?

"It's part of a record from when seven distinguished species were still alive. They were supposed to be preserved only by the keepers of the ruins, but now they are left behind by fellow Dead Instructors. I would have saved it without permission, so I thought it was something that should be sealed forever, but without us like this, it would be scattered. That would be too much to spare. Perhaps the only clue that comes close to knowing what was once a time."

Levere opened the book and looked inside, but I don't understand a single letter. Moreover, it was written using multiple languages.

"... you can't read it at all to me"

"It's a lost word now. If you can use clues such as old ruins or dragon languages, you might be able to read them. Then there will be a limited number of readers."

"(yes... then maybe Alphilis can even read some of it)"

Levere thinks so, and presumably the mentors gave it to him with that intention as well. And at the end of the book, there was a place that I couldn't open no matter how.

"- Is it locked in magic?

"Sounds like it, but we don't know all that either. The mentor who made this book is a stranger among us. I remember being immersed in the ruins at one time. I'm guessing you put something back in there from the ruins then, but he's a good at making tricks. I think he was a genius - well, you should go through the magic in detail."

Letters and shapes emerged from the book as Levere passed his magic as he was told. A brilliant 3D view emerged in the dim room and Levere was accidentally blinded. I know it's some kind of problem, but Levere has no idea what it means. At the same time, I can see the number floating in front of me decreasing, and Luvere is in a hurry to see what's going on.

"What is this?

"Probably a mystery of geometry. Choosing the right answer will help you get to the next question."

"What if I'm wrong?

"The problem just disappears. But once you make a mistake, the next opportunity will be in a month. And when I try to force it open, I get a warning. If you open it up rampantly, the contents will be lost forever. Because I was good at making tricks like that.

And there's not one question, there's more than one. We have also tried many times in a long time, but have only reached the third question. As far as the third question was concerned, it was in the form of a number to be filled in, and the time limit was not more than a day. But I couldn't comprehend it. I gathered the wisdom of all my mentors, but I gave up. You'll need the wisdom of the seven former races to solve it. "

"Isn't that something you'll never be able to answer?

"Earthgal said, is there anyone who overturns common sense?

Luvere immediately thought of Alphilis' face and felt that she would somehow unravel it with a strange face.

"Sure. Because it's not a common sense opponent."

"Then you'd be glad to expect it. The necklace is what the producer of the book had. I won't tell you to wear it because it also serves as our means of communication, but you should keep it close by. With that, it's possible to contact us.

Now that Earthgal is gone, we will also need to measure the stability of Tarram's place. I would have left after doing what I can now, but if there is a problem in managing Tarram, you should ask. Tentatively, but you will need to do the role of mentor Earthgal. "

"This is polite - but is managing taram so important? Anyway, I don't think it means that much to our mentors."

"- So Earthgal hasn't told you anything? But if you're a witch or not, you've been aware of it, right? There's a lot going on in Tarram. Yeah, a lot."

Levere explores the meaning behind the words of his mentors. Seeing what it intended, Levere was somewhat convinced.

"... I'll find out for myself. Anyway, if the absence of Master Earthgal creates a problem, should I talk to you?

"That's the thing. I don't know how far I can respond to that either."

"What do you mean?

"If Orangeable's plan moves, you'll know that, too. Still, Earthgal won't be coming back, that's a cold reaction. Assuming he was a mentor."

Levere responds to the mentor's point without hesitation.

"Because I wasn't a respectable master. If I didn't ask you to be a disciple, it would be like knowing. He comes on his own one day and leaves on his own. Such a person."

"Hehe, did he also fail in his relationship with his disciples? You always said you weren't good with people."

"Just..."

"Just?"

"As a magician, I trusted you. Since most of Tarram's various connections were proposed and installed by Lord Earthgal, and there is no doubt that it was beneficial to Tarram."

"I can't be trusted as a human being, but as a magician, did I? I see. If I did, I'd take over the function of this workshop as it were. Because he was a jerk, he should have written magic books and stuff. It'll be his legacy. Take it."

"Then don't hesitate"

That's how Levere left the workshop after he promised to meet the mentors again. On the way out onto the ground, take the jewels that accompany the neckline and look at them. The purple jewel, in the shape of an octagonal cone bigger than the human eye, seemed to lurk slightly in the darkness and vice versa in the light.

"I wonder what this jewel is made of... while working in a golden purity hall. I meant roughly the expensive jewel, but it's something I've never seen before. I should have asked my mentors."

When Levere left the basement workshop and went up to the living room on the first floor, things had changed slightly there as well. The temptations of the spirits lurk, indicating that the landlord has departed. I always thought this workshop was too many spirits to calm down, but I still missed it if I was gone, so I wished Earthgal well as I was late.
