Episode 351: I will tell God (9)
“It wasn’t a torn body, but it was wrapped properly and moistened so it was easy to carry, so why is it so unusual?”
“....”
Can’t you hear something over there? Like the sound of my glass heart cracking?
“...I don’t think it is appropriate to use the expression ‘wrapped up and given away’ in front of the deceased.”
Of course, considering the times, world, his origins, and his upbringing, those words could never have been said with malicious intent. Yes, I knew that, so I watched it too.
My eyes glanced over at the Meister before returning to the coffin in front of me. It was a hastily prepared coffin because I didn’t want to put it in just wrapped in cloth.
Well, there were only a few coffins in the finished state, and due to a problem with the specifications, I ended up buying the most expensive pine coffin... I spent a bit of money, but I felt at ease.
I don’t know much about this person’s circumstances, but... it’s not right for him to be treated like a burden after he dies.
“Okay... but no matter how much I think about it, I think you were scammed? “It’s clear that he deliberately said he only had an expensive pine coffin, even though he had a paulownia coffin.”
“Does not matter.”
“Oh my...”
After checking the state of the body for the final time, I closed the coffin lid. The scent of the flowers I had placed was completely contained, and the inventory that had been empty was full.
The feeling of subtle discomfort that the body was in the inventory was mixed with the feeling of pride that I had succeeded in Inventory Tetris.
“Let’s go now.”
Anyway, everything that needs to be done with this is done. The promised time is almost over.
“Like that.”
The meister who was watching me leisurely followed me. He looked very tired as he yawned, but that wasn’t a pity.
Even though I told him not to follow me, he was the one who kept chasing me to steal the ingredients. In fact, they didn’t just stop at words, they succeeded in charging me about 400,000 gal for the money.
As expected, he is not a guy worth worrying about.
“Are you here!”
“Am I the last one? “I’m sorry.”
“Oh no. “The food hasn’t even come out yet.”
When I went down to the restaurant, I saw a group of people gathered together. The only items on the table are appetizer-like salad and sausage bread.
“Did you get the target?”
“yes.”
Separately, in the north, you might only eat warm food, but surprisingly, cold food is more common. Is it because it’s difficult to reheat and eat it every time?
I spread Suzma on bread while mulling over random thoughts. Similar to Greek yogurt, it is something I can comfortably eat. Although it’s a lot... cold.
“Hold this.”
“That bastard... no, that friend worked hard since dawn to save him.”
At that time, the Archmage pushed the freshly served bowl towards me. Danielle, who has applied fatigue under her eyes, is justifying her actions.
“Why are you saying that?!”
“It’s not something worth hiding, is it?”
“Be frugal.”
Anyway, what they gave me was a dish of steamed fish flesh coated with spices. It was a dish that northerners did not prefer and therefore this restaurant did not serve it either.
“But still...”
So who prepared this? I caught a glimpse of the Deathbringer, whose neck was red from embarrassment. What should I say? I was quite moved.
“thanks. “Eat well.”
“Nothing to say....”
“I’d like to thank you too.”
“I didn’t do anything...”
“I guess we should have gone together.”
“Go ahead and try it!”
The sleep-deprived face is proof. I smiled faintly at their consideration. Still, I no longer heard the devil.
It was truly a meal full of warmth.
“You came to the right place.”
However, the Magic Tower was not a very warm space. Even though the meeting place was set in the courtyard outside the Magic Tower, the meister’s pale face proved it.
“God leads our souls to green pastures...”
The Inquisitor seemed to be concerned about the Meister’s condition and continued to recite a prayer of blessing next to him. A subtle golden light flowed from the hand that touched the Meister’s shoulder.
My gaze naturally turned to the Inquisitor and my round eyes twitched. “ah!” They’re all good, but they often forget that Ji is the leader.
“I think it would be good to see. “If your skills are good, you will have room to worry, but if your skills are not good, the answer will come right away.”
The Archmage is in charge of extracting information from the White Crow. So let’s check the wizard’s skills in the meantime.
After saying such a concise statement, the Inquisitor looked at me and his eyes sparkled. Without saying a word, I took out the candy and placed it in my hand.
“Do you have a dog?”
“...I know this is said without malice, but it would be better to be more careful with your choice of words.”
It’s true that my child is as cute as a puppy, but it’s too much to say that he’s a dog to his face.
While I was silently blaming, the Inquisitor, who had been shaking, changed his expression. I think it was because I felt the wizard’s eyes were on me even though it was covered by a mask.
“Then uhm...”
“Erutalk. Hereafter, no honorific title is necessary.”
“Oh yeah! Erutalc Wizard—”
“There is no need for an honorific title.”
“yep. “Then can I ask for some erutalc?”
The Inquisitor turned to Erutalc and Meister in turn and asked. Perhaps because it was both our first meeting and it was a public affair, the work went surprisingly easily.
“It’s strange...”
“Are your skills not that good?”
“No, not that much. However...”
Meister frowned. Subtle discomfort, fear, and slight irritation flashed behind the purple eyes.
“The difference between magical fire and real fire. And tell me about how to store magic power in fire for a long time.”
“What is required as a catalyst will be the decisive difference. Also, for fire to contain magic...”
Instead of expressing it, Meister Hana focused on his task. The conversation that continued from time to time seemed like an alien language, but even to an outsider, it continued smoothly without anyone being left speechless.
“Wait a minute, you can’t go there like that. “It’s better to do it this way than that way...”
“I guess that’s true for those whose magic skills are terrible. This is more efficient for those with above-average skills...”
Or can it really be said to be soft? The Inquisitor and I were shocked as the conversation suddenly became more intense.
I’m not sure what they’re talking about, but I do know that the two wizards are engaged in a battle of knowledge.
“Concentrated magical power...”
“That’s a narrow-minded view. That’s not the only way to do it...”
Fortunately, their conversation did not deteriorate into the realm of emotional fighting. Although it was clear that he was feeling excitement and joy from having someone with the right level of knowledge.
“Meister.”
In normal times, I would have said have a nice conversation and left it behind... but unfortunately, that is not possible now. Our purpose is not to provide a forum for Meister knowledge discussion, but to confirm the skills of the recruits.
“Meister.”
I called him in a stronger tone than the first time. Meister, who had been engrossed in the conversation, finally responded. “Oh yeah.” It was only after calling him like this that he seemed to remember that he had come to work. I wonder where it came to mind right away.
“How do you feel, Meister?”
“Hmm, if you look at ability alone, they are at the top. There is no lack of magical knowledge, skill in handling magic, or movement of magical power. “Except that what you can use is really limited to basic magic.”
The evaluation is very generous. I moved my hand on the hilt of my sword as I watched Erutalc take the Meister’s evaluation for granted. There was nothing to beat, so it was the second best choice.
“What are you going to do?”
“Umm....”
If my skills were not that good, the choice would have been easier.
I watched the Inquisitor’s head explode. “San.” Around that time, those who had acted separately to gather rumors returned with good timing.
“How was it?”
“...No one knew?”
“...??”
“At most, I only know that the head mage was recently recommended by the Magic Tower owner... but the rest are asking me again and again? Was there such a person in the Magic Tower?”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
Unfortunately, the information they asked for also did not provide an answer.
“Do you think this is something we need to talk about more?”
On the contrary, it intensified the war of words between the White Crow and the Archmage, who were secretly aware of this side.
The whereabouts of recruiting new party members gradually fell into a quagmire.
