Markion the Prophet (1)

Clayo also remembered.

Gillard Eclipsy was a student who was expelled for attempting a summons.

That's why Clay and Arthur stood guard at the gate of the Manemoshines a year ago when the "round theater" dungeon was held.

"That's right. He was a little tall and lost weight. It must be the odd hair color that comes from the Eclipse home. I couldn't hear from you after you left school, so I was wondering where you were going, and I never thought you were doing this.”

"I met him in person right after the summoning, but Eclipse was not such a great wizard. How did you come to use a magic that even Clay couldn't recognize in two years?”

"You're right. She was a humble wizard who was always stuck in the library, and now she's confused meage master because of the color of the ether.”

"Was there a color in Eclipsy's ether?"

"Yes, it's green. But I couldn't tell the level. [Ether sense] didn't work at all."

When Rachel answered, Isiel looked at Clayo with a more stiff look. Clayo also shook his head only.

There was an expected but unspeakable one.

It's already bright outside the window after washing and lying down.

I couldn't sleep because I heard birds.

Inside the eyes, the scene of a miracle play is still played, which makes one wonder if it is still an uninterpreted magic, or is really.

'That's probably the power of the truth.’

Gillard must have gone beyond the world and peeked at the sentence of the previous world where Clayo was born.

There was no hypothesis to explain magic other than that possibility.

The inside story was surreal.

The day Clayo woke up from this world again, Gillard tried to summon him. And his summons was successful.

But as soon as the world opened up, more than Clayo's soul flowed in from the other side, and the result became that magic.

"Isn't this an error that occurred while trying to make my place? The aftermath of the unreasonable adjustment.'

Now Gillard refers to himself as a prophet, and acts like a leader who will save people from destruction.

"But the prophecy is not God's intention."

Five days later.

Dionne was looking into the grass that Clay had spread on his handkerchief. She sniffed at the smell of the grass, which looked like a long maple, and then she snorted with a fit.

"This is 'Oniro'. It's a hallucinogenic drug that grows in southern Pintos. It's so out of fashion that no one does this."

Dionne's analysis became even more acerbic when Clayo explained the route of the acquisition.

"It's usually dried and smoked like a cigarette, but it's not addictive. It's fantastic when inhaled, but it's also weak. It was also used as a painkiller during the old war. I can't believe I'm still in business with this trick!”

"It was a huge hit because it wasn't in business. Even if I wear a mask, I'll see how many visitors I've had in the invitation, and after the second time, I'll see an infield show where I'm only going to work.”

"Wow, didn't you say there were dozens of people there? You're very good at it. But you have to stop, you're going to eat so big and then you're going to fail."

Dione, who treats all martial arts as fraud, made a fierce face.

A merchant like her who followed the law and the rules was bound to abhor frauds.

"Do ghosts pay rent? Does the Prophet look for a real estate agent? Not a chance. It's all bullshit."

"Lady's right."

"Look at this."

Dionne gave a good account of the identity of the current tenant and Ramor of the Gangryeonghoe mansion.

The document gave me a laugh.

Carolingian is not a noble.

I dyed my hair black. It's supposed to be brighter.’

Madame Lamour, who looks younger in the black-and-white photo, was named Mary, an extremely ordinary Albion. Her identity was in the back alley where she went around cheating.

In other words, she is a barber.

The mansion, which closed its outer wall with precious volcanic rock stone, was also not widely known to people because the owner was in the Speculum Duchy.

The real tenant of the mansion that signed the contract was the government that a businessman had hidden in Novantes. Perhaps they knew Madame Lamour in the back alley.

Does that mean the real body is the Gillard guy. We don't have a clue to this.’

***

Even in the sunny middle of early summer, Captain Darya Isai, a member of the task force's task force task force, was in a low mood.

It was because he has been in charge of the surveillance of Ezra all week after week.

As the number of appearances of the beast increased, the budget and role set aside for the "Magical Investigation Division of the Capital Defense Corps," which was originally like Ezra's personal team.

In other words, paperwork has increased dramatically.

Ezra's deputy, So-wi Aremith, was busy dealing with the paperwork his boss had completely abandoned.

So inevitably Daria and Hester became the kind of mess Ezra followed.

"Only the research wizards have had a lot of fun, but I guess you're finally going to see the light, too." Tadius Yetskel, the head of the team, twirled, leaving such comments.

Clearly, the task force was a heterogeneous minority within the magic group.

Darya herself who is good at creating fire, Ezra who is obsessed with fantasy, Hester, who runs around Novantes's low-income neighborhood and casts healing spells, and Aremis, who has low-level ether sensitivity during his sergeant years, is rare among wizards.

Members of the task force were not so noble, regardless of their origins. It was far from what others thought of as a wizard. Therefore, they cannot mix well with the high-bridged wizards.

'Oh, my God. Nothing's better now than seeing the light.

Meanwhile, Hester Ward, his magic partner and best friend, took a leave of absence to help his sister give birth.

Daria's anger only increased and her motivation decreased.

You can leave your sister's birth to a maid or a nanny, running to take care of it yourself. Hester is really nice.

"The accidents of Ezra's cubs are the same, but the number of people to be dealt with is decreasing, so I'm the only one to die."

Hester was a thoughtful and kind friend who liked everyone.

Unlike the hot-tempered daryana-sense-free Ezra, he understood other people's minds and wisely solved the conflict.

It was considered a rare species among wizards.

Such Hester's vacancy felt bigger and bigger as the day went by.

'Ezra son of a gun. The new harnesses being tested are useless and make people hit.'

On top of that, he is talking presumptuously, even a blue child who insisted on "torture" appeared.

Daria was ready to question anyone Ezra had introduced.

"The guy who hangs out with him can't be the right human being. But how dare you frame Hester?!’

"Is Lord Clayo mistaken? Hester is never the man to do that. He's been the best student ever since he was in school and a man of intellect and character."

Under Daria's frank vigilance, Clayo swallowed a bitter smile.

If the parachute, which came down from the introduction of Ezra, asked if he was a member of a group of swindlers, he would have reacted like that.

The look on his leg with his arms crossed was colder than Tristane's cold.

The wizard's beauty with glossy copper hair, green left eye, and blue right eye was very colorful, and there was tremendous power when he stared at it in that way.

"I'm still the best recoveryist on my team who will return in the fall to help my sister give birth, and it's very unpleasant to file such an offensive charge against a talented person in our department.”

When Daria stamped her foot threateningly, the circle opened almost automatically and sparks flew up around her.

"Wow, whoa. Hang in there, Daria~" It's already hot. Stop the fire."

"You punk! Who's the reason for this increase?"

Darya, a five-level wizard, was a master of flame magic.

He excelled in lighting up during night battles or searches, and in dense forests he controlled firearm into the circle to make his way.

Fire is still fire, even if the attack power is low.

You can easily burn your hair if you open the circle so close.

Clayo crept back in preparation to invoke his defensive magic. And based on Daria's opinion, he made up his words appropriately.

"I don't think Captain Hester is a member of the fraud group, but he is such an outstanding resource that I thought he might have been in charge of the secret mission of infiltrating the fraud group."

The resignation was immediately refuted by Ezra.

"Oh, that doesn't make any sense, junior." Think about it. The acting king is not an idiot, and that's not going to happen to our department."

Behind Ezra, Daria was seen holding the back neck with one hand. It was certainly not what the head of the department should say.

'Well, well...'

It was true that Ezra's office and his lab, which were right next to each other, did not seem like a place to handle confidentiality.

After years of hard work, the maze was finally created, and the place was so messy that it was impossible to tell even if the by-product disappeared without a rat or bird knowing.

Then the story goes back to square one.

Even when looking for a greeting file, Hester's career was exactly the same as his old friend Darya said.

Just as Jebedi wrote on her report card when she was in school, she was a wizard with an example and a virtuous body.

Did I really get it wrong? Hmm.'

Ezra suddenly began to flounder as Clayo was about to get up.

"Sir, junior, junior, junior, please don't go."

"What? Aren't you done talking?"

"No, no, that's... what, take my sparkle!"

Ezra, who was gibberish, searched for a long time on a desk like a garbage dump and took out a harness with a round cut of masonry.

Click.

When he felt the force in the center of the circle, the sphere split into two, revealing a complicated joint. 'Promise' sent a message.

[Hugging Ring]

—Class: Best product

—The two spheres can track each other's position thanks to the ether reaction.

—Note: One-time use]

It was a high-quality harness. Clayo tried not to show signs of liking it too much.

"Why would I....”

"Just in case, put down the address of the mansion and take this with you. If more than a certain amount of ether is detected, an alarm is triggered. Then me and Darya will run for you."

"The house is just outside of the Notus district. Is there a signal there?”

"Of course. I'm the beta version of the signal made by genius Ezra. I've tested it before. It's good, isn't it? Isn't it?

As Ezra continued to drag on with the next schedule, Daria, who had been clicking the lid of the watch repeatedly, couldn't stand it anymore and exploded in anger.

"That's good, that's bad! Now that I've got a chance to write this down, stop bothering me and Aremis and take care of your work! Lord Clayo, you're going now."

"Oh, this is a real sparkle!"

Concerned that Darya might start a fire, Clayo stood up with his jacket. Of course, the signal was also taken care of.

"Yes, sir. Thank you for your cooperation."

I wondered if it was too much defense, but I thought it would be better if Ezra had no hands.

Even though Ezra is flirting, he's a great magician.

***

So

The signal was no exaggeration at all.

The third meeting was different from the second.

During the ball, a number of people fainted amid the frenzy that went beyond enthusiasm.
