CH 186

: Family (4)

It was time to go to the capital.

Jamie was looking in the mirror with very uncomfortable eyes.

He was wearing a robe based on blue silk, with a white cloth over the cuffs, and adorned with splendid gold thread over it.

It was a pretty and luxurious robe, but it was far from Jamie's taste.

The problem was that this was a robe sent by Sears directly from Heath to commemorate his first visit to the capital.

'If I don't wear it, my mother will be sad.'

By now the Weltons should have arrived in the capital, Fibre. It was clear that Sears was eagerly waiting for him there.

But I couldn't even imagine what would happen if I didn't wear the robe I had prepared for you.

The size was so perfect, it was totally a robe for Jamie.

Wow! Master! So pretty!

In the meantime, Anne, a disciple who had come from early in the morning, clapped her eyes brightly.

Looking back, this robe was completely girly.

I don't know whether I should be grateful for the fact that Sears, who is in her 30s, still has a girly feeling, or should I be sad for myself wearing it.

'But it's pretty . It's not cool either.'

With a brief sigh, Jamie put on her robe and prepared to go out.

When we went to the living room, Siegfried and Linmehl were sitting friendly (?) drinking tea.

But why is Linmer here?

" Marquis?"

Jamie didn't hear that Linmer was coming.

As if Siegfried was the same, he was sipping tea with a sullen face and looking at Linmer.

Linmer put down the teacup and said with a smirk.

"Robe suits you well."

Thank you . But what did you come here for?"

"I just want to go with you. Have you come to a place that I cannot come?"

"Not that."

After all, all high-ranking people in the magic world must go to the capital.

It was to celebrate the birth of a new archmage with the king.

It's not just wizards.

The talented people in the master class belonging to the kingdom were supposed to shine in their seats according to the king's command.

In other words, all the best powers of the Seldam Kingdom will gather for the upcoming Archmage appointment ceremony.

Linmer was one of the top masters among them, so of course we had to go together.

But I thought we'd make a separate party... .

"There is no need to accompany the attendants. don't you mind Isn't that why the 7 elders came here alone?"

Yes.

Siegfried answered still with a frown on his face.

"How about Count Simon?"

"He probably has a lot of people to take care of, so I think he will go separately."

"Lennon said he would go there too. I can't come here! He was whining."

Jamie chuckled at Anne's exaggerated taunts.

Looking at Lennon these days, Anne's words might not have been exaggerated.

The guy has expressed a lot harder these days.

It was nice to see that it seemed to be changing for the better.

"Are you ready?"

He nodded at Siegfried's question.

"After all, the family would have done all the preparations. I just have to go."

"Would it be very convenient for the nobles to have all their subordinates do for them?"

"I want you to know that I am also a nobleman in front of you."

"Ah! I'm sorry.

It was Siegfried who didn't even know that Linmeul was there and played a prank on Jamie.

Looking back, Siegfried seemed to have no power over Rinmer. I don't know what happened between the two of them, but Siegfried was like that.

"Let's go. Seven elders please."

Yes Yes. I will see you."

Siegfried gathered around the crowd with a weary face.

A magic circle was drawn on the floor, and their appearance disappeared like a ghost.

Until the Archmage Appointment Ceremony D-3.

* * *

No matter how much Siegfried in space, it was impossible to go from the magical realm to the capital of Fibre in one shot.

They arrived in front of a warp plane used for long-distance travel.

Jamie saw a giant ring-shaped aisle machine.

It looked like it was about 20 meters high, and I could feel huge mana wriggling inside the device that supported the giant ring.

"This is a great product of magic engineering. Isn't that awesome?"

As he approached, Linmer stood beside him.

Jamie nodded.

"I can feel a lot of mana stones inside that big pedestal."

"They say that the mana stones used to operate the warp are 100 kg based on the B grade."

"100 kg?"

"This has greatly reduced fuel consumption. When it was first developed, it required 100 A-grade manastones. Do you know the value of Class A Manastones?"

" That's crazy."

It took 5 A-grade manastones to activate Dimension Breaker, the strongest magic weapon in the magic world.

However, the fact that 100 of them were needed to operate the warp meant that even discussing the cost-effectiveness itself was ridiculously garbage.

"It's usually like that. At first, it consumes nonsense energy, but as time goes on, the shortcomings are compensated and the strengths are strengthened. According to the person who developed it, after 5 years, it will be able to be converted to half of the Mana Stone."

"It's getting more and more efficient."

"After all, the goal is to install warp planes throughout the kingdom."

"Ready!"

As the two of them were talking about the warp machine, a voice came saying that the warp machine was ready.

Linmer turned around with his back on his back and said.

"Do you know why I suddenly talked about the warp machine?"

Jamie looked up at Siegfried at the sudden remark.

"The machines are also evolving. And whoever develops the machine makes more progress than that."

right.

"I hope you do too. I can't help but think that what I'm worried about is that I work harder than anyone else, but it seems like I'm putting a lot of pressure on you, who is still young.

Linmer looked up at the sky once and continued.

"As you go through life, there are bound to be people who will bear a huge burden like fate. But there are a lot of people who fall down because they can't bear the burden."

Yeah.

I I don't want you to be like that. When I am tired, I speak, when I have a problem, I get counseling, and when I am tired, I rest. I hope I don't live under the pressure of responsibility."

He seemed to have come today to tell me this.

Jamie smiled faintly.

I can empathize with you because I know what you are worried about.

To Linmell, Jamie would be like a grandson, and he was worried that he would already write a big fight.

Most of all, the conversation of 'that day' would have hung like a thorn in my throat.

- Jamie... Are you really the reincarnation of that being?

Rinmer's trembling voice at that time was still not forgotten.

I passed on the memories of my previous life to Count Simon, and I heard that there are people who share the same thoughts.

At first, I thought that I could trust them, but when I heard of their identities, I thought that I would rather meet them here.

I was introduced when my body recovered enough to be able to move.

It was Linmer, the 4 elders, and Rayman Floris Shan.

We talked a lot that day.

But what really stood out in his memory was Linmer's reaction when he heard of his identity for the first time.

Since then, there has been no reaction.

We only talked a lot about the future.

However, it seemed that Rinmer had worries about himself in his head.

Even if he was a reincarnation, to him Jamie Welton was like a grandson.

"Thank you for your concern."

At Jamie's thanks, Linmer smiled.

"Come on, let's go."

Yeah.

From afar, Siegfried and Anne beckon to come.

The two increased their walking speed.

The hostess of the cafe terrace approached an old customer and asked for a taste.

"Do you like it?"

"It tastes fine."

That's fortunate. Then have a good time."

The owner sighed in relief and walked away cautiously.

There was a lot of cold sweat on the owner's forehead.

The old man greeted only with his eyes and savored the tea.

It wasn't an empty word, it was a really good car. The dessert cake, which was moderately sweet, was very good for the old palate.

Indeed, it was the most famous cafe in the capital Fibre. It was always crowded, but today, strangely, there were no customers.

Only the old man sat leisurely and enjoyed tea time.

"It's nice to have a good capital city."

The old man was reclining on his back and enjoying the warm sunlight.

It's spring, so the smell of flowers tangled in the wind makes you feel refreshed.

The old man stirred the tea with a teaspoon and grabbed the sword that was next to him.

It was a weapon that was not suitable for a peaceful cafe, but for some reason I did not feel a sense of incongruity when I was with an old man.

"Good."

How soon is the holiday?

Even at this age, he had always been busy with his life, so this little space was precious to him.

That was then.

Someone came to the old man.

Inspiration. What are you doing in this place?"

The old man opened one eye to see who had come.

A man with a languid face, with indigo blue hair growing like a lion's mane, was carrying a long spear on his shoulder.

The blade of the spear was so large that it was attached to half the blade of a greatsword.

The old man responded lightly to the man's question.

"As you can see, they are enjoying their precious holidays."

"Hey. Inspiration keeps people from approaching this way."

"That's unavoidable."

"Where will you get better if you capture that formidable energy?"

The man looked at the old man's surroundings with a tired look on his face.

Ah.

It was then that the old man opened his eyes as if he had realized.

"I forgot it was so natural."

The old man looked at the empty streets of Fibre.

Originally, I was puzzled because there were no people in a place where there were so many people that I couldn't even walk.

Was it because of you?

Unfamiliar, the old man laughed.

As he gathered his energy, the owner, who was standing painfully at the counter, collapsed.

As soon as he was released from the pressure, he passed out.

The man shook his head and sat down next to the old man.

"By the way, did you hear any news about that little boy?"

"You mean Jamie Welton?"

Yes.

"Well. I don't know anything other than that I became an archmage at the age of eight."

"Well. Inspiration is not interested in anything else."

"That's what it is."

The old man closed his eyes again and enjoyed his leisure time.

In the meantime, as the old man's energy disappeared, the people who were hiding in the house looked out one by one.

The man stuck out his tongue at the sight.

How ignorant of a presence is it enough to empty the streets of a city?

I was familiar with its strength, but seeing it in this way was new.

"Did you hear me?"

"You can go slow, take it slow."

"If you go slowly, your Majesty may die of suffocation."

It was not an expression for the owner of a country, but the two were an exception.

The old man grinned.

The man clicked his tongue and stood up.

It's always a boring inspiration, so talking more will only hurt your mouth.

"Don't just go and see everything. Because I want to see my skills after a long time."

I don't want to see the skill of the old man.

The man knew better than anyone that the old man was insanely strong.

The man wanted to see how far his skills would reach the elderly.

The old man narrowed his eyes and answered.

"I hope it doesn't end as frivolous as it was back then, Albert."

Albert, who has the nickname "The King's Spear," raised an eyebrow.

"Don't worry. Unlike back then, the water has risen a bit these days."

"Expect the skills of the Spear Master."

Albert, famous as the spear master among Seldam's only five sword masters, gave a thumbs up and disappeared.

The old man got up from his seat, stretching as if he was getting tired of it.

"Master. Leave the tea to the Pan family."

There was no reply from the stunned master.

The old man, Tarix Pan, took his sword and left the cafe.

He was the Sword Prince.
