Episode 145: Tidro's Leap
Tidro misses Ruff's feathers so that he doesn't look like the rest of the people in the prison.
"Damn, that Yarrow. You finally got up."
One of the inmates told me to complain.
"You're so busy being a rookie."
"Fair enough. That's right, you're upset. They're noble children for once."
"Even more annoying."
"I don't know what you're doing as an intern in the criminal justice department, but I don't want to touch a god."
"In fact, he's an excellent guy. Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking, but I'm not in the way."
"Let's do something good."
"Heck. Hey, Tidro. We're pulling back. Help."
"Yes."
(Were you still in the 200 hierarchy? Dorias)
Tidro worked on the retreat in a hurry.
(Dorias. You always do. If you think I've outrun you, you'll outrun me in a way you don't even think about and go far ahead)
Tidro remembers his college days.
I kept trying, but I couldn't beat Dorias at last.
(It just so happens that I joined the intern, but you're lucky that Dorias came to the 200 tier and wore it. I was finally able to catch up with your thoughts too, can I think)
Tidro laughed mockingly.
(You can't. Seems satisfied just to catch up. That's the idea, so you can't beat him forever. But still, unlike before, I'm eating it somehow)
Until now, I've been watching Dorias make the leap.
Tidolo, out of the mansion, stares down the street with a resolute look, perhaps in the direction Dorias fled and went.
(Whatever you do, I won't let you do what you want, Dorias)
Dorias was starting to act to open a shipbuilding company.
It started with raising funds.
The 250 tier lender saw the visited Dorias as a giddy with a wasting odor.
"You're a lot younger. What's your name?"
"Dusten (pseudonym forged by Hassan)"
"How old are you?
"Thirty-seven."
The vendor man increasingly stares at Dorias with a septic odor.
"Hmm. Fair enough. How much the hell do you want to borrow?
"200 million legicas"
"To, 200 million!?
"You're kidding me. You can't lend Pong and 200 million to an anonymous young man like Temei."
"Whoa. Don't bother to underestimate me. I'm a know-it-all magician. I'm selling oil on 200 tiers for a reason now, but I don't mind if you think my strength is already equivalent to 300 tier magicians."
"Ho. 300 tiers. Hey."
The man suddenly got a mean look.
"If you have 300 hierarchical strengths, you have to prove it first."
The man puts something like a don and a globe on the table.
Lynn kept an eye on the globe.
A sphere as transparent as a crystal holds its axis of rotation fixed with a frame of bows and rests on a pedestal.
The transparent sphere is shaken with a red scale.
The central scale was written as ten tons.
"Hmm. That's a 'star tank'"
"A powerful magician of 300 hierarchies would know, wouldn't he? Depending on the magic of the surgeon, it's a device that generates water."
"If you say you have the strength of a 300 hierarchical wizard, at least let me generate ten tons of water."
"Fine. However, if you were able to generate it, I would get a proper loan."
"Hmm. Hit me in the mouth."
"Don't tell me what to do."
"Uhm. All right. Now if you'll excuse me."
Dorias hands on 'Star Tank'.
Instantly, the interior of the 'Star Tank' is filled with water.
Dorias' generated water quickly exceeded the ten-ton scale, filling the 'star tank'.
The gold-lending men in Yantian lend to Dorias on the spot.
"You did it. This will cover the cost of materials and facilities and equipment to build a ship."
"Oh, let's get down to sourcing materials and personnel quickly"
"All you have to do is raise labor costs."
"Oh, fine. I don't know about labor costs. It's not necessary."
But you can't pay your employees.
"It's okay, it's okay. 'Cause it's a company that will crush you soon anyway."
In the evening, as Vanessa was working in the office, the door was knocked.
"Get in."
"Excuse me."
Vanessa stops the hand she was working on the paperwork and looks at the clerk who came in.
"What's up? At this hour."
"A man named Tidro said he really wanted to see the secretary and didn't ask..."
"Tidoro? That's a name you don't ask."
"Yes, I'm an Eatern student of the 100 Hierarchical Mage (Mayard). I have news about the fate of the entire 200 tiers, etc."
"The fate of Swinlill......"
Vanessa became interested in the Russian Tidro.
Because I was reminded of my own dream of sinking deep in the water.
"It is a matter that should not have been put into the ear of the secretary, and should have been paid in advance, but it has been too persistent and, moreover, it has threatened to smell its own, use its authority as a nobleman... We're having trouble deciding what's going on..."
"Okay. Let it through."
"Ha"
Tidolo entered the room as soon as the clerk left the room.
"Excuse me. My name is Tidro, and I'm a 100 Hierarchical Mage (Mayard). My Lord Secretary, I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to attend this meeting."
Vanessa observed Tidoro crumbly.
I had heard of the aristocratic class, but its stern face and upright eyes made it possible that it had not yet been filled with the stench of the aristocracy.
"Are you Tidoro? I mean, you brought me some news about Swinlill's critical survival..."
"Yes. Did the Secretary know about a college magician named Dorias?
"No, you don't. What's wrong with that college magician?
"It is possible that he is intruding into this 200 hierarchy while being a college magician."
"The College Mage is on the 200 hierarchy? But how the hell..."
"Using Birds (Ruffles)."
Tidro took out a large feather that was also as long as a cane from his nose.
"This was found this morning in an empty nested mansion. At the wall of the mansion, the windows that hit the outer wall of the tower were broken."
"You mean you flew up to 200 levels with a weird bird (ruff)? I see."
"I can't think of anything other than Dorias, a magician who can manipulate monster birds (ruffles) under a hundred levels."
"... its a magician named Dorias, but what the hell is he? I'm sorry. I'm oblivious to the circumstances of the College City (Alfredo)..."
"Dorias is undoubtedly a one-hundred-year genius. He defeated the first giant (Cyclops) at the time of the College Primary Class and has been promoted to the Expeditionary Army while serving as the College Magic Instructor in the High Class."
"Wait. You've heard of it. He said he had a demon mentor who was a teenager but did remarkable work in The Battle of Al Ado. The boy was wearing a red robe and driving a weird bird."
"Exactly that's Doris. Secretary!"
Tidro took himself out.
"I'd like you to assign us personnel to prosecute Doris."
Vanessa took Tidoro seriously.
(Hmm. I wonder if he thinks he can beat Doris, as the current story of Doris is true. With my own talent......)
Vanessa wondered.
I actually decided to ask.
"I see. But as far as you're concerned, isn't that boy named Dorias, the legendary magician of the tower, possessor of comparable strength? Can it be in your hands..."
"That's why! Because fighting properly won't win, now that Dorias is in a legally precarious position, it's time to slap him."
Tidro said with a fortified tone of voice.
"He's not just blessed with magical talent. He also has a gifted talent for poking and twisting rule gaps. If you leave him alone, Swinlill's, on the contrary, will be involved in the order of the tower."
Vanessa thought as she looked into Tidro's serious eyes.
Does it have anything to do with Dorias and that dream in the example, the big bird carrying the cage and the dream of himself sinking into the water?
She turned away from Tidro.
"I know exactly what you're saying. I just can't break the budget with the personnel on such vague grounds either. At least I want confirmation that there's a college magician named Dorias on the 200 tiers."
Tidro left the secretary's room with a flashy look.
Rendezvous with your friends.
"How'd it go?
"No. It means Dorias is on the 200 tier, and he won't cooperate without solid evidence."
"Chip. This is why the one at the bureau thinking"
"Those people don't understand. I don't know how bad Dorias sucks."
"You don't know what you're gonna do if you leave me alone."
(I can't get the support of the association. Then you have to find Dorias on your own!
"Guys, the Secretary hasn't rejected our offer yet. I have a chance. Let's do what we can."
"Are you sure, Master Vanessa? Receive the true story of the 100 Hierarchical Wizard (Mayard)."
"I'm still an immature magician freshly ascending to the 100 hierarchy, but I'm still not the kind of guy who throws up lies. There's no harm in having ears to listen to."
……
"I can swim Tidro. Keep an eye on his trends."
"It's a double tail."
"That's right. While swimming through Tidoro, I identify the aim of a guy named Dorias before him."
(Even though it's still a puppy, it's a vessel that will eventually be a wolf. I want you to at least do enough to grab my tail, even if it doesn't bite)
In hiring his employees, Dorias put out a recruitment requirement of 1 million legicas per month, provided he was in the 200 hierarchy for more than five years.
People have been killed on broken salaries.
I've actually applied a large number of times from people who have been in the 200 hierarchy for more than five years to people who are also suspicious if they have been enrolled for a year.
That was also an inexorable story.
Staying in the 200 hierarchy was a big deal for many, but on the contrary, just being in Swinlill for a long time was a testament to my proven strength as a magician, with respect and envy.
That's why, in practice, all suspicious students who have really been in the 200 hierarchy for more than five years are going to apply for a large number of high pay goals (if they were to be in a company that earns a million legicas a month, it would have been quite advantageous to maintain the hierarchy).
Some of them even had their resumes painted with blatant lies to cement.
However, Dorias somehow proceeded to adopt only those of dubious nature, and somehow did not adopt only those of certain identities.
Either way, people got together under Dorias and the company started turning.
"People Nos. 10 to 15 should head to line A. People Nos. 16 to 21 should wait here as they are. I'll follow up with instructions."
Lynn was helping cut the company up as one arm of Dorias.
I am still giving instructions to the assembled employees.
"Hey. Mr. Lynn. Looks like we're done arranging an employee?
"Ah, Mr. Dorias. Wait. It'll take about half an hour."
"Please hurry up. I'll be sourcing materials again this afternoon."
"Yes. Oh, people 16 to 21, thank you for waiting. I'll show you to line B."
Lynn rushed for manning as she looked at the instructions sent by Hassan.
Lynn rolls out to the city with Dorias.
"Um, Mr. Dorias"
"Hmm?"
"Are you sure? I don't have to collect the employees' salaries."
"Oh, I'm fine. I told you. Even a company that will crush you soon."
"Are you sure you want to crush it? This company."
"Oh, crush"
Dorias said flat as nothing.
"But if you crush the company, you'll be annoyed by a lot of people..."
"Nice. Lynn, let me tell you something, the company is there to crush. The company is nothing but a cage to surround money and workers. Anyway, it's crushing. Who would be in trouble for crushing something like that?
"When I break the cage, I think something strange is going to crawl out of it..."
"Ha-ha-ha. It's my fault. It's my fault. Hola, we're about to have a business meeting on material procurement. If you look dark, you can't even get a contract."
Lynn had accompanied Dorias in his business dealings as secretary.
I didn't do anything in particular, I was dressed in beautiful clothes and I was just on the spot, but according to Dorias, it was easier to be trusted to have someone with me than one.
As the two of them walked around the corner after the business meeting, Dorias suddenly leaned over Lynn and spoke in a whisper.
"Lynn. Don't turn around like that and keep walking as if nothing had happened"
"It's tailed."
"We're gonna run."
Lynn felt her hand pulled glitchy.
Jump into the crowd.
I felt a shadow go by at a tremendous speed.
Lynn no longer knew if she was avoiding them or if they were avoiding herself.
(This is... the magic that Atrea and Uyne were using)
Lynn was desperate to keep her legs running in a bumpy motion.
Because if I didn't, I felt like my arm being pulled off by Doris was going to be ripped off.
But the chaser was steadily approaching behind.
They also seemed to be able to use the magic of running away from the crowd.
(They'll chase you like this)
Lynn felt signs of an impending chaser coming closer and closer on her back.
It was obvious that the other person was using more advanced equipment, more advanced magic than himself.
"Chip. Shit. It's special."
Dorias slapped Lynn's shoe with a cane.
Then a tattoo is engraved on Lynn's shoes without any weird philosophy.
(These are... the shoes Luciola wore!?
The power to pull Dorias' hand grew stronger by a step.
At the same time, Lynn felt her ability to kick her own ground became stronger by a single step.
Dorias and Lynn ran with tremendous momentum and quickly reached the other side of downtown.
"What do you say? Did you sprinkle the chaser?
Lynn asks Dorias.
Dorias was looking back and forth from the shadow of the building.
"Oh, they lost us."
Dorias, while saying so, was running his eyes cautiously round and round.
After watching the traffic for a while and making sure nothing abnormal happened, he finally brings his back to the wall and sighs of relief.
"Phew. Oh, boy. I didn't know Tidoro was here."
"What? Was it Mr. Tidro who was tailing us now?
"Whoa, you know about him?
"Yes. When I was in elementary school, take care of me"
"Right."
(I thought Tidoro was still in the 100 hierarchy, so he was bracketing the high... That Yarrow, have you come to the 200 tiers yet? Chip. That's a crazy calculation)
"I have to hide my face from now on. And..."
Dorias looked at the company's factory.
"We need to hurry to complete the ship"
"Yes.... Ugh"
Lynn looked uncomfortable underfoot.
When I saw it, Lynn's shoes were falling off her feet.
When Lynn rushes to pick up her shoes, the shoes are completely rubbed off and worn out, tearing from foot to bottom.
Not very much, but it wasn't something I could wear.
Alfrid's shoes couldn't stand the advanced magic of Dorias.
Dorias sighed once again.
I have to buy your shoes, too.
"Are you there?
"No, you can't"
"Fuck. It was a little later."
The Tidoros, who had lost sight of Dorias, had searched around for a while but could not find him, gathering again in the square.
"That face was definitely Doris."
"Oh, definitely. You ran away feeling our signs, all the more so for sure!
"That Yarrow came to the 200 tier after all."
"And then I almost got caught. Damn, I did what I had to do to make it."
"You won't be discouraged. We found out Dorias was working in this neighborhood. All we have to do is find out."
"Right. Let's start over again. Let's just explore this neighborhood and see. Tidoro? What's up?
Tidoro was thinking as Tidoro's people breathed.
(Wizard I was with Dorias, like I've seen somewhere before? I wonder why. I can't remember being caught at the bottom of my memory)
"Hey, Tidro!
When one of his companions grabbed his shoulder and called him, Tidro returned to me haphazardly.
"What's up? Are you okay?"
"Oh, no, yeah. Nothing."
Tidro gets rid of what he cares about, in the corner of his head for now, and turns to his people.
"We'll thoroughly wash the neighborhood. Find out if there's any recently built buildings or facilities."
(I grabbed the tail. All you have to do is hand it over)
