Chapter 143

"..."

"Yuder, your formal attire... its color is a bit different from ours?" Checkk new novel chapters at novelbin(.)com

The first to break the silence was Devran. Yuder nodded as he adjusted the sleeves and the collar of his formal attire.

"The Commander said that he had made a different design for the Deputy Commanders and the assistant."

"Really? I saw Steiber in it earlier but somehow it felt different......"

"Yuder, when you wear that outfit, you completely look like... ah, a highly esteemed person, just like the Commander!"

While Devran murmured as if looking at a stranger, Jimmy, unable to close his gaping mouth, gasped and cried out. Yuder looked down at the clothes he was wearing and opened his mouth quietly.

"It seems that you're saying that simply because the color of this attire is similar to the Commander's uniform."

"No, it's true! It is so! You look like such a high-ranking noble! Very cool! You look handsome!"

"Hmm... thank you, Jimmy."

The surroundings burst into laughter at the sight of the boy shaking his hand high above his head and trying hard to express his feelings. At the same time, the previously frozen, quiet atmosphere slowly thawed.

"Yuder, have you ever worn formal attire like this before?"

"No, I haven't. Why?"

"You look quite comfortable, as if you've worn it a lot."

Gakane, who had approached, picked off a piece of thread from Yuder's back, which Yuder had not noticed, and smiled.

"You looked good in the black uniform, but you also really suit white. You look elegant."

"You too."

The best response to a casual comment is to always turn it back to the speaker. It was one of the most useful rhetoric tips Kishiar from his previous life had taught Yuder.

At Yuder's response, Gakane scratched his head.

"Haha. It's natural for me to look comfortable since I've worn it a lot. Although this splendid formal attire is my first time."

"You've worn it a lot? Why?"

Unthinkingly questioning, Yuder realized Gakane's background and stopped his hand that was examining his clothes.

"Ah, you must have had quite a few occasions to attend parties before."

"No, it's not just that."

In Gakane's eyes, looking down at his formal attire, a bitter but somewhat refreshing color surfaced.

"The occasions when I had to wear formal attire were more often for difficult times than for attending parties. Like, for example, duels......"

"Yuder. I've checked all the way down to the hem of your trousers, and everything's fine."

"We've also received all three medium materials we requested a few days ago, in addition to the magic stones. Although the quantity was very small because you had to find them quickly, I didn't expect you to send them so soon. Honestly, I was surprised."

"So, are you now making the medium?"

"No. First, I tested how compatible those are with the power of the Red Stone. The fairy dust was useless, but the ancient dragon's heart and Eucalractium seemed to have a decent compatibility. I need to test a bit more, but I think the dragon's heart might be better."

"I see. Then I will request the Commander to procure more of the dragon's heart."

"Indeed, one word leads to knowing two. Thank you."

Thais Yulman stroked his long beard and grinned.

"My apprentice is busily crafting a mold now that we have enough ingredients prepared. As soon as the medium is completed, I plan to conduct an experiment with you and Kanna to infuse it with the power of this stone. Can you help when the time comes?"

"Of course."

"That's reassuring."

After saying this, Thais seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of which..."

"The festival period is ending soon, right? At the end, isn't there always a big party at the... Deluma Palace?"

"Yes."

"I should have been invited to attend, but I really don't want to go. Why would I leave such exciting research to attend a boring event? The thought of those Pearl Tower folks and other mages makes my head hurt. So, what I'm saying is... this time, can we just exclude me and make that apprentice of mine go with you?"

When Yuder maintained a momentary silence in response to the blunt request of the old mage, Thais snickered, covered his mouth, and lowered his voice.

"I'll feign illness suddenly, and the rest can be handled by that lad. Almost no one knows we're here anyway, so there's no need to worry. Moreover, wouldn't you need someone to guard this place from your side?"

"I'd have to speak with the Commander, but... I believe they will agree with your request."

"I thought so? Hehe."

The image of Alik's future, dragged to a bothersome party in place of his Master, brought out a twinge of sympathy in Yuder. But having someone to guard the basement while everyone was away was also necessary, so Thais's suggestion was welcome.

It seemed like Kishiar planned to station the Peletta Knights, led by Nathan Zuckerman, at the residence to guard Revlin, his lover Dandenion, the Awakeners from Apeto House, and the Red Stone in the basement, but Yuder felt that this alone was insufficient.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Swordmaster Nathan Zuckerman, but considering the Star of Nagran, home to an illusionist and a teleporter, he believed one could never be too vigilant.

Yuder expressed his concerns to Thais Yulman briefly.

"There were a few incidents recently, so the possibility of intruders is high. I would appreciate if you could be more cautious about security on that day."

"Don't worry. I can't use attribute magic like the others, but I have other methods. As long as I'm here, this place will be safe, no matter who comes! You can rest easy."

Thais Yulman chuckled and assured the safety of the basement. Yuder also cracked a small smile. With this, the fate of Thais's apprentice Alik Pelgin was also determined.

"I look forward to your cooperation in the future. If you need anything else while conducting your research, please don't hesitate to let me know."

"Ah. Speaking of things I need, something just came to mind."

Suddenly, Thais Yulman's eyes filled with curiosity as he leaned in closer.
