Chapter 283

After all, this was something she had expected - no, it was something Will had expected. Will had actually reminded her more than once that Eugenie's existence was a hidden danger, and of course she listened.

"No need..."

Treya sat on the chair and thought for a moment.

"The atmosphere in the capital will become particularly cold because of the purge operation after I left. Now that I am going back, I will thicken the ice on the lake that was originally only frozen with a thin layer. People who are stretched too tight will rebel again. ”

"Yes... you are right."

Thereya felt a little tired.

Even though she had inherited all the power of "Castlevania Zero", her mental condition was getting worse and worse under such continuous circumstances.

What's more, this place is a bit too far away from the real "residence" of Castlevania Zero in the Royal Palace, and she can feel that the power is diminishing a lot during the transmission.

but……

This decision...

That's what Will told her.

He said that if he really wanted to change the status quo of the Entak Empire, he would definitely clean up all the nobility and royal families of the old era, but...

——"If you are too eager for quick success and instant benefit, it will have the opposite effect. The best thing is to make them fear you in a subtle way, but they dare not resist you because of some small favors..."

So, where is he now?

Halfway through the "wedding" that allowed him to complete a demonic ritual and become part of Castlevania Zero, he was taken away by a crazy woman.

However, the problem now is that it is not appropriate for her to use all her troops to search for Will in a "big way" - in that case, Will, who is very important to her and known to the whole country, is missing, and he will become the target of various forces. object.

It was trouble enough to be targeted by that maid, that witch, and Shona who slipped away from her dungeon a few days ago.

It would be even worse if there were "other forces".

If she could have more "civilian" spies active in various places like the Adventurers Association, she might not have to go to such trouble to use regular forces.

It's a pity...

If the royal family had realized the significance of dungeons and the Adventurers Association earlier, they might not have reached this stage today.

"So, your plan is..."

"There was a person, the maid, where was she last observed?"

The reason why I asked the maid, not Shona who had escaped.

It's simple. The last person she saw who took Will away was Yiel.

"In...in System's old house."

"Go to the next destination and tell the public that Will misses his former home. I will take him back."

"No...there's a problem now."

"What?"

"According to the words of the guards on the road, it seems that she left for... the town of Novis."

"...Let's go there."

"Then what's the reason this time?"

"Will him, I want to go to the starting point of his adventurer's dream...it is also my starting point, looking back on the past."

Chapter 313 The End

"Getting started, moisturizing things and warming them up."

Leia took the staff given to her by Will, touched the metal staff body that ordinary staffs did not have, and pointed it at the "liver" of the dungeon monster named "Ice Spirit Horse" with a huge ice block in front of her. ".

Then, she used the magic she was most familiar with...the magic that was mastered by Will.

After she started, she glanced at her mother Liz, who was also wearing a big hat, riding on a broom, flying high, like an examiner from top to bottom, observing her use of magic.

She neither showed a satisfied smile nor told her to stop as usual. Instead, she nodded and allowed her to continue.

Leah was nervous.

She felt that her hands that were holding the metal staff tightly were covered in sweat. At this time, she felt that the metal staff that Will gave her was a bit in the way. hold.

as well as……

It would smear the pattern of the witch's big hat that Will carefully designed for her.

She glanced at Liz again.

However, since her mother left her and she started teaching at the college, it has been a long, long time since she broke away from her identity as a "calm and steady teacher" and became as nervous as a student being stared at in the exam room. .

Although we haven’t seen each other for many years...

Although I have been working with her these past few days, I have felt "mother's love" for the first time in a long time.

Although looking at it now, there is almost no "age difference" between her and herself.

However, a mother is a mother. Whenever she is watched by her doing something, she will be so nervous that she will sweat.

But she didn't dare to slack off.

"Next is..."

In the past few weeks of "working", she had already paid off the money she spent on her previous lavish shopping.

Now Liz wants to test whether her "strength" is enough to meet the level where she has "already grown to a certain extent".

The test standard is...

The degree of mastery of various ancient magics used to make the "Candle of Creation".

"Brilliant light and sound——"

For most witches, what they pursue in their lives is the ultimate in some kind of ancient magic, and for those who are good at fire magic, the ultimate they pursue is the "Candle of Creation."

This is a kind of magic, and it is also a magic tool. It is recorded in books of ancient fire magic and symbolizes the first stable source of fire that humans have obtained.

But no one has been able to achieve it so far, because it spans many ancient magic books, and many of these books cannot even be translated into languages.

but……

Under the proposition of "How to create the ancient magic of the Founding Candle", various applications of fire-attribute magic have been developed. Whether it can reach the ultimate is not important. In the process of pursuing it, fire-attribute magic can be studied to To what extent has it become more important.

After moistening the ingredients with a warm base temperature, a huge explosion was used to extract the contents of Binglingma's liver.

This is the step described in ancient magic to create the Candle of Creation, and most processes are stuck at this step.

"Huh...huh..."

Leah gasped, and the red color on the tips of her hair seemed to spread a little toward the top of her head. As the light of her magic was completely extinguished, the red color receded again.

Canguang Xisheng absorbs the "sounds" within the range, and then uses energy to blast out all these sounds, reaching an extreme explosion. The most obvious manifestation is that it will cause an extraordinarily shining bombardment in front of the eyes.

but……

Half of the Ice Spirit Horse's liver was blown to pieces, and the other half was still in the ice.

failed...

That's right.

If you fail to extract enough "liver", there is no doubt that it is... a failure.

This was not the first failure. In fact, she had tried many times in the past few days - because Liz said that as long as she succeeded, she would be allowed to leave the interior of this dungeon that she didn't even know where it was. , to find Will.

Will... Will and Princess Treya who stole the wedding are about to get married! ! !

It even seems... seems to be married in terms of time.

Of course she was in a hurry.

Very urgent. I wish I could rush forward and complete a wedding robbery.

But……

Liz took her time and let Leah try again and again - she didn't actually say the standard for passing, but Leah guessed in her mind that the standard must be to blow out the entire horse liver!

"Sure enough, it must be that the strength is... not enough."

She looked anxiously at Liz, who was riding a broom and acting as the "judge" in the sky.

"..."

Liz didn't speak, she clenched her chin and looked at her thoughtfully.

"I...I will try again. Until I succeed-"

"No."

Liz interrupted her and jumped from the air.

She landed firmly on the ground and walked around Leia for a while, especially looking at the staff in her hand.

The beautiful metal staff flashes in the light, and is a little different from the wooden staff often used by witches.

"I'm curious, Leah, why are you so persistent in finding him?"

"I like him, I want him to look at me all the time, I want to possess him, that's all."

Leah gave an answer without any hesitation.

"Oh~"

Liz's emotion was just one word, which seemed to be particularly meaningful.

"Then what will you do if you find him?"

"...Eh?"

"For example, use peppermint essential oil to stimulate the blood of the witch you injected into him? Or tie him to the inside of some strange dungeon - these are the ways to forcefully get his love. Right? From my point of view, as someone who has lived more than a hundred years longer than you, it seems that what you have done has not met your expectations, so there is no need to do it again, right?

Leah fell into silence.

she……

She seemed to have only that passion, the desire to see Will again, to see his deep blue eyes, to want his eyes to stay on her...

But, there seems to be something... something isn't quite right.

She put a hand to her lips.

At that time, he took the initiative to kiss himself...

As long as she thought about this, she could even feel the blood in her blood vessels starting from her fingertips begin to stir.

You can hear their rising voices.

However, at this moment——

"Okay, you can go. Go wherever you want."

Liz spoke as if she had discovered something.

"……What?"

When she was overwhelmed by Liz's question, Liz gave her freedom.

"But, how should I put it...you have grown...faster than I thought in the past few years. You have even reached the 'end point' I planned."

Liz chuckled.

"Why don't you think about it?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, just like Carver said, that Will System has gone to the Dust Corridor. Boss, he is the key target of attention."

Shining Knight.

It was the rescue team that Will met in the underground city with fire and iron walls.

It is also the rescue group with the most outstanding achievements in the Adventurers Association, and is one of the seven adventure groups designated as S-class. It was even considered by outsiders as the right-hand man of Carver, the president of the Adventurers Association.

And the magician in the team, Ender, who was sitting on a chair with half of his body wrapped in his robe, held a letterhead stamped with the System crest and looked at the person sitting opposite. Captain Lieber.

Liber, who was wearing a military-like uniform, also held the letter in a daze.

"He chose this one very accurately from so many target locations. In a sense..."
