Episode 9. The strongest wizard and bet
“Whose na do you dare to call a child carelessly?”
I couldn’t imagine that we would run into each other, so I spit out the na without realizing it.
The current owner of the Rodelen Magic Tower and the owner of the Duke of Alven.
One of the strongest players in the current world view who monopolizes two huge titles.
Of course, at the end of the ga, the daughter, Diene Alven, becos stronger, but that’s when the player controls it.
“sorry. Tower Lord.”
“joy. He is the son of the father. It’s just as pathetic.”
His eyes were covered, but the sneer at the corners of his lips was clearly felt.
But what can I do? Right now, I don’t like such provocations.
aww
uh? Is that what just ca out of my mouth?
Regardless of my reaction, Bahat turned his head and faced Lucia.
“Is that Viscount Hollington’s daughter?”
“This is Lucia Everlast.”
“joy. If you want to rember your na, build that reputation first.”
Like a grumpy old man. he asked
Well done anyway.
I was lost and I was worried about what to do, but the owner of the tower appeared.
“Top Lord. Is the tower lord going to judge you?”
“hmm? judge? What review?”
“Today, we decided to review the newly created potion at the Rodelian Magic Tower.”
“portion?”
What do you not know?
This is a bit embarrassing to anyway.
Then why did you appear here?
“You said you made a new potion?”
“yes.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
Laughter erupted, which would be appropriate even if it was violent.
Aside from his sudden laughter, the excited Stormbringer flew through the air and began showering lightning.
“crazy!”
I imdiately deployed the earth shield, and Lucia, who was next to , also used unknown magic.
Kwajik! bang!
My Earth Shield was halved by a single lightning strike, and I deployed the Earth Shield one after another in the shower of lightning.
“senior. are you okay. Because I put on a protective shield even for my seniors.”
“thanks.”
I was relieved by Lucia’s words.
By the way, I can’t believe I’ve already used the upper-middle level magic, Protect Shield.
Casting doesn’t seem to take long, but it seems that geniuses are geniuses.
Compared to him, I’m only a beginner magician, Earth Shield… … .
If you die like this, it’s a dog death worthy of making an achievent in its own way.
‘Achievents are a piece of shit.’
I thought, but it looks like an asshole.
Fortunately, Bahat, who laughed, imdiately blew a whistle, and Stormbringer regained his stability.
He said, still unable to erase the smile from his lips.
“Hehe. Looking at the tail, it seems that the magical achievents are still the sa.”
“I believe it will get better soon.”
“Haha! A passing dog will laugh at you.”
Now that you’re laughing, you must be the dog.
Of course, I didn’t say it out of my mouth, I just thought it inside.
“okay. You made a potion? I’m curious to hear that you guys made it. Go right now.”
As Bahat stood upright on the flagpole and waved his hand, a magic circle was drawn under our feet, and we were instantly transported to another space.
‘Move space!’
After all, Bahat was a monster.
Magic related to space was the second most difficult after magic related to ti.
It’s not just high, it’s enough to treat you as a mid-level wizard even if you get a clue about space magic.
Processing and manifesting magic formulas and arrangents in an instant was different from the case of space magic or installation type magic circles contained in artifacts.
At the level of ignoring other people’s intentions and mana interference and using such magic, the word monster was appropriate.
“The Magic Tower Lord is amazing. senior.”
Even Lucia had an expression of disgust, so I said everything.
The place he moved to was a room with a normal appearance, unlike the hallway inside the tower.
The subtle black tea scent seems to have drank tea a little while ago.
“Lord of Bahat Tower, how is this place?”
“We t by chance on the road. You said you were examining these guys’ potions today?”
“yes. That’s right.”
In the room where the examination was taking place, three wizards belonging to the Mage Tower were waiting as judges.
They didn’t know what to do with the unexpected appearance of Bahat.
“okay. Is this the potion?”
“yes. Ingredient test and efficacy test are over. In fact, the safety of the potion had already been passed, and only questions and answers were left about the production process and thods of the students.”
While the examiner was explaining, Bahat was dropping a drop of the potion into his mouth.
He paused for a mont as if savoring the taste, then poured the entire bottle into it.
“Moheim fruit leaves, Todol tree sap, Zahas fruit bloor mushroom.”
Having said that, he turned to Lucia.
“What about the other two?”
“Honfish juice and matarata root bark.”
“Honfish and Mataratara. I used my hair.”
He sighed, extinguished the potion bottle, and approached Lucia, who literally disappeared.
“I have heard your story once or twice. But I didn’t know you’d do sothing stupid like this already.”
“thank you.”
“Is it like a complint?”
“is not it?”
Bahat, standing in front of Lucia who calmly asked her question, with only the corner of her mouth raised, turned her head to the judges and said,
“The test is over. Give a confirmation stamp.”
“yes. Has confird. Tower Lord.”
Phew, I was worried about what kind of tackle the man who hit this shit would make, but it seems that he passed safely.
I rember being cursed at countless tis because it was an unpredictable character even in the ga.
He had a lot of unexpected actions, so he was a character that couldn’t be used as a teammate.
At the ti, it was just a strong psychopath, but when it beca a reality and faced it in front of my eyes, the feeling of intimidation was beyond imagination.
“Now let’s talk about sothing else.”
“… … ?”
“Why did Adrias co with you?”
As Lucia stood still with an expression of incomprehension at his words, he said.
“Wouldn’t you have made it yourself? I’m asking why do you bother to fake him as a co-producer?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why did I make it alone?”
“Isn’t that natural? Do you really want to say that you made the potion with Adrias?”
“Huh, I know what you an.”
“for a mont! No, what are you two talking about… … .”
He hurriedly intervened in the conversation.
For so reason, I thought that the inspiration passed normally.
Lucia’s reaction is also uneasy.
It is said that if it is twisted, my patent right and the profits from it will be blown away.
“To tell you the truth, senior made it all by himself.”
“huh?”
Contrary to my expectations, Lucia said sothing completely unexpected.
“Yesterday, Diane-senpai ca and brushed off, and it’s amazing that her father showed the sa reaction.”
“what? Diene said that too?”
When his daughter’s na cos up, he becos very interested.
No matter how crazy he is, he seems to be just a father in front of his daughter.
“yes. Like the Tower Lord, they said they didn’t trust and asked various things.”
“So, are you saying it’s true that you made it with him?”
“I’ll say it again, it’s no different than a senior making it alone. I was just lucky.”
Lucia… … .
Forgive for doubting you.
You are now my favorite playable character.
“If in doubt, ask your senior directly.”
When Lucia hit the wedge, Bahat turned to with a disapproving expression.
But can you see it with your eyes closed?
“Is it true?”
“It is true when it cos to co-productions.”
“Then it’s okay if I ask you a question.”
“yes. That’s what I ca for anyway.”
“good. Then ask.”
Bahat nodded and waved his hand once more.
Then, together with the sa magic circle as before, Lucia and I were transported in space.
Please speak and write. I’m startled and I’m going to fall
“Okay.”
“what?”
“This is magic that can only be used inside the Mage Tower.”
I just nodded at Lucia’s sudden words.
Are you analyzing it in the middle of this? Lucia also had a rather peculiar corner.
Bahat, who ca with her, listened to her words and put a smile on her lips.
“Are you making a fuss about finding out sothing great? Follow sooner than that.”
The place we arrived this ti was a huge laboratory.
There were also wizards here, but most of them were sleeping in a corner of the study table or wandering around like zombies with long dark circles.
I got goosebumps as I felt like I was being projected into them.
“For now, you can use the ingredients here, so just make that potion.”
“All right.”
That’s enough to eat cold porridge.
Since these are ingredients that I have touched hundreds of tis in a few days, I am now used to making them even with my eyes closed.
Rather, there was a high probability that Lucia, who was only watching from the sidelines, would fail in manufacturing.
From a separate warehouse on one side of the lab, materials were brought in for just one batch and imdiately started manufacturing.
It was certainly more sophisticated and difficult to handle than the instrunts used in the academy, perhaps because it was a lab in the Mage Tower, but it was easy to use.
-Titling!
[I made a potion of physical strength increase (interdiate).]
After the extraction and fusion reaction, a notification popped up as soon as the ingredients were properly mixed.
When I made the potion in just 5 minutes, Bahat was looking at with an expression that made want to see him.
But can you really see it with your eyes closed?
Bahat dipped the potion I made, tried it, and then drank it in one bite, just like before.
“good night. Then I will ask you a question.”
“Tell .”
“Why did you think of using hornfish essence? I know roughly what the intention was, but there must have been a lot of other things? For example, Holman seeds or poponnon stan powder.”
“Because it is a liquid. This may not sound like much, but liquid and solid dia react differently during chemical reactions and extractions. The liquid neutralizer was needed to fuse with the sap of the todol tree, one of the essential ingredients, without side effects. Of course, even if the examples I just gave you were in a liquid state, that would be impossible.”
“Why?”
“Because hornfish juice is of animal origin. The ingredients are plant-based, which is impossible. Even if it acts as a similar neutralizing agent, it will produce completely different results in the fusion reaction process. For example, if the ingredient you just ntioned goes in its place, the traits of bloor mushrooms, which are weak to vegetable neutralizers, will break down. This does not simply end with decomposition, but a chain reaction that results in the hallucinogenic component of the Morheim fruit being much more prominent.”
Everything I’ve just said wasn’t sothing I figured out, a hint in the ga told .
But in the end, it’s all thanks to my hard work.
Probably no one who has played this ga has put as much effort into finding a recipe as I have.
“Have you tried it yourself?”
“yes. I have tried both types of materials you ntioned.”
In gas, of course.
It’s not wrong, he said confidently.
Bahat suddenly fiddled with the cloth covering his eyes, then took them off.
And looked at with wide eyes.
“I have doubts about the Adrias Cromwell I know. Who are you?”
“This is the Adrias Cromwell you just ntioned.”
“As I said, the premise of what I know is important. Are you really the guy I know?”
“yes. you’re right. Your Highness Alven.”
“haha. this is so… … .”
My heart skipped a beat at his montary question.
I wondered if he had recognized that I was Jinhwan Kim.
However, thanks to his habit of hiding his emotions as he panicked, he was able to answer calmly.
“How many years have I seen you?”
rember! work!
In an instant, Adrias’ mories ca to mind.
“It seems to be the first ti I t you at the entrance ceremony. About two and a half years.”
“okay? I don’t know what happened in between… … .”
I don’t know?
“It’s been pretty fun.”
“thank you.”
I say thank you with my mouth, but it’s complicated in my head.
ruined. Bahat Alven used the expression that it was fun.
When that word ca out, nothing was fine.
“Are you interested in making potions?”
“yes? yes. Apparently, I’m not as good at magic as you saw earlier… … .”
Of course, I was thinking of upgrading my talents with evolution traits.
“Then make a bet with .”
“bet… … .”
I couldn’t bear to say I didn’t like it, and I blurted out the end of my words.
Are you making a bet with a lunatic like you that I’m crazy?
“If I win the bet, the Cromwells will cancel all debt to our family and give one of my favorites.”
“Do it now.”
Oh, without realizing it, the answer ca out imdiately.
But it was an irresistible temptation.
I don’t know exactly how much debt there is, but it’s an amount that would make a high-ranking aristocratic count’s family go bankrupt.
My guess is that most of them thought it was probably because of magic, so my heart was heavy.
Besides, it hurts to say it’s sothing Bahat cherishes.
The thing of the strongest person in the world It could have been worth much more than the debt I owed.
“You haven’t even heard of it?”
“Let listen.”
Bahat, who let out a smirk, spoke as if declaring.
“If you make another new potion before the end of the year, you win. But if you can’t make it, I’ll expel you at all costs. How is it?”
yes of course
The answer is fixed.
