Chapter 33. I’m going to get a dog (5)
Even the sound of clicking my tongue makes my head pound.
They say that once you reach the 6th circle, you can drink without getting drunk. Most Balkan wizards were 4th circle, and some were 5th circle.
So, unfortunately, Arsene, who was unable to open the next circle after overcoming the barrier of becoming a 5th circle master, also could not reach the point where he could drink without getting drunk.
Thanks to that, I drank a glass of all the hard liquor mixed together, took a sip, and fell asleep like I was fainting. Maybe I fainted and woke up as if I had been sleeping all along, but in reality, what is the point in distinguishing between the two?
Anyway, Arsene couldn’t remember when Kyrie left Alan’s house. I didn’t know that Kyrie, who had very complicated feelings about holding on to him and complaining, was wondering whether to break Arsene’s neck or not, and I didn’t know that he threw it on the sofa.
“You really figured it out.”
And of course, I didn’t know how much all the alcohol I had so excitedly opened and mixed was worth.
Of course, Alan still didn’t know that Calian had told Arsene the secret. If I had known, I would have at least given him something to drink to relieve his hangover first and then beaten him.
So Arsene explained what had happened, expressed his dissatisfaction with Alan for hiding the truth from him, and planned to run away from Alan’s house.
On the day Kalyan said he was going to drink, he opened it and drank it privately, pretending not to notice Slayman’s attention, and saved it. It is said that it has been made for over 40 years, so it is clear that it has an incredible flavor. The fact that Rika was mixed in was a bit of a problem.
“It’s something we can’t get again, so what should we do?”
The value was too great for Arsene to confidently state the reason for his accident. Moreover, I was speechless when I heard that I was trying to drink it with Kalian and no one else.
Arsene opened his mouth, suppressing the feeling that his head was spinning and his stomach was churning due to a hangover.
“I don’t think the prince likes to drink, Commander.”
And then I did my best to come up with some random answer that made Alan a little more angry. Arsene saw that and quickly opened his mouth again.
“No. I will try to save it somehow.”
“Are you planning on robbing Devlan’s liquor storehouse?”
Just two bottles on the continent.
One at Alan’s house and one at Devlan’s liquor store.
“Shall I brush it off?”
Arsene asked this with a quite serious expression. In any case, wasn’t Arsene the type of person who only causes accidents within a range that can be handled? If you have an accident, you have to fix it.
“If you use the magic circle to get to Siegfried’s territory, Secretia will be right there, Commander.”
So, without even considering what it meant to open the king’s liquor store deep inside the Secretia palace, I just said that it wouldn’t take much time to come and go like this.
Alan made a disgusted face as he looked at this crazy wizard, not knowing whether he was confident, arrogant, or just fearless.
“You shouldn’t say anything. Now, just leave it alone.”
It didn’t mean much, but I thought it was a good thing since drinking the same alcohol as Devlan didn’t seem to be very pleasant for Calian.
Alan, who had prevented the deterioration of the relationship between the two countries with a generous heart, clicked his tongue again as he looked at the ugly face of Arsene, who seemed to be a few years older than him.
“The prince would be very pleased if he knew that you got into trouble like this because of alcohol. Why did you do that?”
Ask quickly too.
Arsene poured about three glasses of water on the table and told the story he heard from Calian the day before.
So, I got caught again.
I told it all to Arsene, not to anyone else.
Looking at Arsene, he said it didn’t seem like there was any problem, but anyway, this time too, everyone was caught.
The corners of Alan’s sharp eyes gently curved.
“... I’ll just leave this guy alone.”
Alan, perhaps aware that Arsene’s shoulders in front of him had stiffened due to the sudden appearance and disappearance of his peer, turned his head towards Arsene and said,
“Anyway, please keep the house clean and don’t come to the palace today. Just rest. I’m going to go see the prince.”
This is Alan, who will either stop time by grabbing Serenti by the collar, or create time by holding on to that sun. Even when Calian asks for help, how could he refuse? Therefore, Alan nodded without even thinking about what the schedule was.
“Speak up. I will help you.”
It seemed like I had something to do with Lemain in the afternoon, but Lemain could wait or not.

Three cups of moderately sweet milk tea were placed on the table between the sofas.
While Kalian smiled slightly as he remembered Hina saying that the color that was the same as that milk tea was platinum, Alan, who was looking at what Kalian had laid out, massaged his temples.
“Is this a different matter than the one that requires Prince Tensil’s information?”
“Yes. Information on Crown Prince Tensil is needed for Brother Randel, and this is my job.”
The matter related to ‘Zeon’ was Kalian’s.
I was in a bit of a hurry to check because of Plants, and to be more precise, I would say it was related to both Kairis and Secretia, but for now, it was something that Calian had to check.
Alan nodded and took a look at what was on the table.
I drew a fairly detailed picture of what the axis of time originally looked like, and wrote down the letters engraved on the ring as I remembered them. It was the data sent by Chase.
Alan, who was quietly watching this, opened his mouth.
“Would it make any difference if you knew the meaning of the letters engraved on the stone?”
He was asking whether Calian’s ability to check the letters engraved on the axis of time and somehow find out their meaning would help in finding the origin of Zeon.
“If they had only touched the birds, I would have thought the same, but they said they chased after the president of the association at first. It was not the letters carved on the stone, but the letters on the wall of the cave.”
What I meant was that I was trying to read the contents of a piece of paper attached to a cave wall that looked like something carved into a stone.
However, deciphering letters was not a common task. At most, it is not possible to find out by comparing three pieces of information, but rather, you have to have more extensive information and knowledge to figure out the meaning of one or two letters.
“Wouldn’t it be too difficult?”
“So I put aside what I was planning to read.”
He nodded his head, acknowledging this in a fairly light tone. Then he looked at Plantz sitting in front of him and said.
“I asked to borrow my smart brain, and my brother, who is also very smart, came up with something clever.”
“Keep barking.”
Plantz got irritated by the constant comments about him being smart from the day before.
Anyway, Calian said, pointing to the letters engraved on the axis of time.
“If you look at the letters here, there are small dots. If you think about it, these are not part of the letters, but other marks.”
A fairly large ring. Letters the size of a fingernail written on that ring. Kalian continued his explanation by pointing out several of them one by one.
“There are letters with dots in the same place, and when they are put together, they have one stroke in common. So, I thought that the letters with dots might have different meanings, so I only selected the overlapping parts.”
Calian, who had spoken thus far, wrote something with his finger on the table. The dark red light aura slightly flowing from the tip of his finger revealed something. I created a character.
“Something interesting came out.”
It is a character that is no longer used and is only passed down to the Secretia royal family on this continent.
Calian grinned and opened his mouth.
“It reads as Zeon. And.”
Words that were unfamiliar to Alan.
But words that clearly remained in Calian’s memory.
“It means the king of humans. I thought it was a coincidence, but since it’s written here too, I can’t ignore it.” Those
big-eared races that he didn’t want to see again. Calian, who thought about what they called him, concluded his speech.
“Did your highness treat the elves very harshly? I guess. “I think you should meet the Elven Elder.”
Or the Mother Tree they like so much.
