Chapter 656

- Episode 23:

It's better to be physically ill!

After a while, they all uttered the same sentiment.

And Seldin is no exception.

“wow... ...

When I open a magic book, admiration comes out. However, it is far from being inspired.

“... ... Is this a letter?”

“What crazy talk are you talking about? You can't read, can you?”

“Oh no... ...

Simple things can be read.

Recently, the kingdom has supported me in various ways, so even a girl from the countryside can somehow manage to read simple sentences without stuttering.

But it didn't seem like it would turn out that way.

After reading the book of magic, I lost my strength in my gaze in a daze. Covering the magic book. I open it again and I'm blank... ... .

“... ... That's it. You don't have to pretend to look.”

“I’m sorry.”

“never mind. Because half of them look like this. To be honest, I don't know.”

Kelgin smiled bitterly and shook the book he was looking at.

“You must have learned something like this before.] Gee.”

“Ahahahahaha...

I didn’t say anything, but I could feel the atmosphere of empathy here and there.

“There is a way to test it randomly, but... ...

I'm ignorant, but there's nothing I can't do.

However, not everyone was very reluctant, perhaps because they had seen the flames a while ago.

It is not a simple thing to endure momentary pain even if life is not affected.

I would have started to get a bit nervous.

Is it because I noticed that atmosphere? As if pondering for a while, Seldin began to stare at the piled up magic books.

“... ... perhaps.”

“hmm? Why but?”

“... ... If you don't mind, why don't you try the book I picked out?”

“Are you not good at reading?”

“a little... ... I have a feeling that I can't talk about. I’ve been good at this since before.”

At least I don't want to cause trouble.

Is it because you thought so? When he asked seriously as if he had made up his mind on something, not only Kelgin but also the other test takers did not take it lightly and agreed for the time being.

“Choose one and see.”

“???? then.”

Seldin briefly walked over to the stack of books, then crouched down and stared at them.

It's bound to look odd.

It's not even reading a book. I just squat down in front of them and stare at them.

Make eye contact as if you were talking to them.

“you... ... what the hell... ...

However, there is a bizarre atmosphere that makes you hesitate to even casually talk to it.

It is not considered a prank. Let's keep silent and watch without interruption.

“huh... ... That's it. I heard you.”

Strange self-talk.

However, I feel like I'm talking to the book of the hobsa, not them.

While they were bewildered, she vigorously straightened herself up and turned round and round.

“all right!”

“eww... ... hmm?! Is that true?!”

How the hell did you know?

While everyone was making disbelief faces, Seldin energetically grabbed a book and strode towards the door.

” for a moment??????

Eight lively before it dries!

and insert the magic book.

Then, gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... and there was no fire.

[oh. You're faster than I thought.]

Arel's voice came from somewhere.

and a short applause.

The door opened just like that.

[Congratulations on passing. You guys were the second fastest.]

I'm happy, but on the other hand, I can't help but listen in bewilderment.

“ruler! Come on!”

And, leaving them behind, she strides forward first and energetically waves her hand.

“Suddenly, there are guys who pass more than half of them.”

“Isn’t it faster than Arel-nim expected?”

“what... ... so so. It’s good that everyone is motivated.”

I thought it would take a little more time, but the pace that passed was surprisingly fast.

Motivation also means that there is a will or talent.

“The first one was almost right off the bat... ...

I watched several crystal balls and looked at the progress of each test taker group.

There are still people struggling.

“If you stay as is, there will be no harm to you. ... ... Aren’t you the one with business?”

If you stay calm, you won't do any harm.

I couldn't easily believe that, but it was clear that the monster would attack me if I went against it.

Everyone obeyed orders and sat down, revealing that they had no intention of rebelling.

“Yeah, just stay that way. ... ... and. Write this just in case.”

He pulled out another magic tool. After using it, this time, a string made of red magic formed around the necks of the test takers and stuck to them as if they were wrapped around their necks.

“What?!”

“Don’t fall off!”

There is no texture. However, one cannot calmly accept the fact that something is wrapped around one's neck. A sense of danger as if one's life had been put in mortgage.

“Don’t worry. If you stay calm, you won't have to use it.”

he's humble And he overbearingly controlled the movements of the test takers.

It was literally taken hostage.

“mister... ... why would you do this... ...

Seldin asked in disbelief. He seemed to ignore it, but finally let out a small sigh.

“From the beginning, this was my wish.

Its purpose was to hinder you.”

“Something like this? Why?”

“Come to think of it, did I say... ... that he had children It was my daughter.”

“ancient? ... ... For sure.”

Seeing her blankly staring at her, he said, barely clenching his fists as if suppressing his growing anger.

“Obviously Mr. ...

“It is a lie to say that I married my daughter.”

“???? yes?”

“No, I couldn’t even send it. as soon as... ... Because of these damn wizards.”

What does that mean?

He looked up and murmured, as if she had briefly lost her staring gaze.

I'll be listening anyway

“How long will you be watching’?”

[Until you feel like stating your requirements?]

Arell Ernesia's voice.

The mischievous feeling from before had completely disappeared, and he answered seriously as if he fully understood the current situation.

[It's not my policy to provoke and bleed. so. Did you feel like talking about the requirements?]

“I will.”

What does he want money for? or not?

what else?

But what he said was unexpected.

“What is being asked is the neck of a certain wizard. I just want him to be brought to me and executed in front of my eyes. ... ... And if I have to say more, the cancellation of this selection. I will include that too.”

[...] ... Is this selection cancelled? Why'?]

“Didn't I tell you? I had a daughter... ... . And it's just a grudge against the person who deceived and destroyed her daughter.”

He said coldly and snorted.

“Is it fair to raise talent? come now? Don't talk nonsense.”

It seems genuinely lamentable. It seems hateful.

“Are you saying that the tower has such a face now?”

I sincerely ask that.

“On the subject of seducing and destroying young people who don’t know anything like that.”

Observing the situation, I kept talking to that man.

There are things I want to buy time for, but there are also things I care about.

“Is it a grudge?”

[I will not deny it.]

At first, I wondered if the person who was simply instigated by someone revealed his true color, but it seems that the relationship is deeper than I thought.

It's not an excuse to go around. I really feel the hate.

“... ... Did you say it was your daughter?”

And just like that, Dia, who was aware of the situation and was moving, returned.

In her hand is a bundle of slightly worn-out parchment paper.

“that?”

“This is the list at the time. ... ... It was 23 years ago.”

And among them, I was able to confirm a list with the name of a wizard engraved on it.

“Senilla... ... I entered the Magic Tower 25 years ago, and 2 years after that... ... Did he die in an accident?”

“It's supposed to be like that in terms of name.”

[Nonsense.]

I deliberately left the communication tool on.

Because the surest way to find out the truth is to ask yourself.

[Sounds like an accident... ...

Aren't you guys the Magic Tower that cornered that child!]

To say it was a misunderstanding has strong conviction and hatred.

I raised my hand to stop Dia, who was trying to answer, and asked.

“I’m sorry, but I want you to explain. What... ... you know?”

[...] ... I'll tell you.] How

a former pro
