Chapter 202: Going to London
The underground space of the Matou family has been extensively renovated and expanded, currently divided into three floors and seven workshops.
The first workshop is the exclusive workshop of Justeaze and Scathach, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
The second workshop is the teaching workshop, where Scathach instructs her apprentices, and where Kenneth previously taught Waver.
The third workshop is the training ground, where Shinji and others practice their magecraft and martial arts.
The fourth workshop is the alchemy workshop, used for the creation of various tools and artifacts.
The fifth workshop is the experimental workshop, used for conducting magical experiments.
The sixth workshop is the medical workshop, where Kenneth regularly receives treatment.
The seventh workshop is the standby workshop, only used when all the other workshops are occupied.
Shinji knocked on the door of the fifth workshop.
A slightly sharp voice came through the specialized magical communication line from within the workshop.
"Who is it? Didn't I say not to disturb me before noon?"
"It's me, Shinji. There is an urgent matter that requires your immediate attention."
"Give me three minutes, and remember to be prepared to resist any toxic gases when you come in."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
It seems Kenneth is conducting some kind of dangerous experiment.
Exactly 180 seconds later, not a second more or less, Kenneth opened the door to the workshop, punctuality being one of his good habits.
The workshop was filled with a silver mist, but since the workshop was protected by a bounded field, the mist did not spill out.
"What is this?"
"I'm trying to modify the 'Volumen Hydrargyrum', what you see is the result of a failed attempt - half mist, half liquid, there seems to be a problem with the pressure adjustment. Anyway, let's think about it later. What did you come to see me for?"
"Your treatment..."
"The regeneration of my magic circuits is complete, the adaptation period will be the same no matter where I am."
"Since you put it that way, I'll contact Waver right away to put his mind at ease."
Saying that Shinji took out his phone and dialed the overseas call to London. There is a nine-hour time difference between London and Japan, so this is precisely the time when Waver should be asleep - a small act of revenge for last night's disturbance.
As soon as the phone was answered, a girl's voice came from the other end.
"Is this Lord Kenneth? I'm Reines from the Archisorte family, you taught me magecraft before."
"Don't grab the phone, I already told you that's not Lord Kenneth." This was Waver's voice.
"Hello, hello, is anyone there?"
"I already told you—"
Shinji and Kenneth exchanged glances, a series of expressions, and eye contact, and then Kenneth spoke.
"Webber, no need to stop Reines."
"Professor/Lord Kenneth?"
"It's me. Waver, Reines, I won't ask why you two are together at this time, but I have something to entrust to you."
"What is it?"
"Please give us your orders."
"Spread the word that the missing-for-three-years Kenneth Archibald is about to return."
Whether by coincidence or intentionally, as the word "return" left his mouth, the silvery mist fully converged, gathering behind Kenneth, adding a special aura to this lord.
