Regend, the first wizard of the round table, thought the girl in front of him was formidable. No. It was on their side that they thought it was easy without any basis from the beginning.
Most round table wizards thought that putting pressure on the Mana Stone would easily solve the problem.
She is a girl who has just become a Patriarch. Wizards never thought they would have anyone to fight with even themselves.
"I'm not asking for anything too much."
Smooth words pour out through the red lips.
"If you don't want to be an enemy to me and Lazia in the Wizard's Association."
"Enemies, what do you mean?"
Regend emphasized once again in a hurry. In fact, that was usually what the sorcerer said.
But I didn't expect to receive such a threat.
'And it bothers me.'
The boy standing in the back of the tune is also annoying. A general escort should have a dim presence, but he was rather heavily spewing his presence.
When an average person expresses his presence, he reveals his presence with exaggerated words or actions.
It is not easy to just stand still and show your presence. No, it's close to impossible at that age. But that escort was doing it.
The stabbing presence seemed to tell the history of Lazia. He was saying that he was ready to fight with you at any time, and that he could do it right now.
Regend suddenly became afraid.
Maybe that escort has blue ice crystals? What if they throw it between us?
He did not show such nuance words or actions, but it was clear that all the wizards here felt that way. Because even though my voice was about to rise, I looked at the escort and lowered my voice again.
"All right."
Eventually, Regend raised his hand.
"Mr. Regend!"
Several other wizards raised their voices, but Regend crushed their shoulders.
"I don't think there's anything unfair about her request."
The wizards shut their mouths at the words.
Of course, there is nothing unfair. No, but I didn't like the fact that the wizard had to unilaterally comply with this request.
"Well, if you connect me with Dwarf, we'll take care of the rest. Instead, let's make it cheaper to supply Mana Stones to the Wizard Association."
"Okay, but let's not say the effects of colored ice crystals. And we want you to supply us little by little for research."
Trying to figure out how to do it somehow, Regend added the last word.
"All right."
Ran said so and raised herself up.
"I don't want to leave the castle empty for too long. Can I get up first?"
Regend said, raising himself.
"Of course."
He saw Ran out of the tent and stroked his white beard.
"But Lord."
"Yes"
"Is the escort a knight of the Lazian family?"
Ran smiled brightly at the words. Only then did Regend realize that this was the first time she laughed sincerely today.
"It's my brother."
There is pride in her voice.
"Ah"
The next Lazia Patriarch.
As Regend's eyes shifted, Eustaf casually gave a pastoral bow. Regend thought we had a good discussion today.
Lazia is likely to stay strong for the time being.
"Then it was an honor to meet you. Mr. Regend."
Ran bent and stretched her knees lightly and left the place under the guidance of another wizard.
When Ran and Eustaf appeared, the waiting knights looked visibly relieved.
"I'm glad you came back safely."
Ran nodded at Blaine's words.
"It was okay because Eus with me."
"Did you finish what you wanted?"
"Yes"
Ran grinned.
Hold on, boss. Now I'll change all the weapons and armor.
A new one!
With that thought, Ran got on the wagon.
"Things went easier than I thought today."
Eustaf, who raised his chin on Ran's word, turned his head. Ran said with a smile.
"I definitely thought the wizard would threaten me, use magic, or at least scream in the middle."
However, the sorcerers became emotional and raised their voices from time to time, but they looked like they had regained the castle again.
Is a wizard a rational creature? To my admiration, Eustaf said.
"You knew that?"
"Yes"
"But you still want to leave the Knights behind?"
"If I don't sit at the negotiating table, the conversation won't start. I could go if I wanted to, but I didn't want to start feeling bad."
A deal doesn't end in one or two. You don't have to be too greedy.
The relationship with the Wizard's Association will continue until Lazia's ice crystal disappears.
It seemed to be equal but slightly superior. It was the most comfortable relationship to last long.
"And Eus went with me."
Heheh, smiling, Eustaf frowned and laughed.
"Really"
Ran said.
"Eus is smiling a lot these days."
"Because Noonim make me laugh."
"Is that good, huh?"
When she asked seriously, Eustaf answered vaguely,
"Well..." taking off his cape and handing it to Ran.
"Now the temperature will drop further while climbing the mountain."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it."
It was when the sun began to set, so Ran quickly covered her cape like a blanket. The sun slowly passing over the ice wall looked majestic.
I narrowed my eyes and thought of Ran.
'It's really going to be winter soon.'
*******
It's amazing whenever you see it.
Ran stood close to the window thinking so. It was snowing heavily. Even the snow piled up was more than 1 meter.
'I'm going to make a snow mill to clear the snow removal. It's supposed to melt the snow by letting the heat come out.'
There's a lot of energy to change the Mana Stone, so you can find many ways.
Ran stood back from the window thinking so.
It had already been seven months, about half a year since she took over the temporary head position. Although she is still struggling because she has done a lot of work since the beginning, the stage of laying the foundation was coming to an end.
Ran rushed to the bed and tucked herself under the covers.
Thanks to the electric pad - the magic pad - the bed was warm.
'I'm Happy.'
The magic tool created by Frances was bumpy. The air in the blanket was heated up and the feathers were inflated to enjoy a fluffy and warm feeling.
I thought about it and named it Dasa. It was derived from the word "multiple." But you can't call it a magic pad, can you?
- Dasa is a must this winter.
Along with these letters, she made several more and gave them to Eustaf, and first posted them to the imperial family.
Of course, this is not the only thing I uploaded. Isn't it bad to talk to the community about the magicians?
It's the best advertisement to show, not to talk.
So, after much consideration, Ran sent the first gift to the empress.
I was worried, too. Maybe she was a stranger here, and she dug up the wisdom she knew, but one car could be different.
'It's hard for Koreans to meet American needs.'
Sighing, Ran squeezed her hands.
'Let me announce it successfully.'
Of course, we have a New Year's party before that.
It was halfway through December. Levery would have gone up to the capital and been getting ready. Ran had to finish her work here as a head.
They visit the gate and examine it, and hold a New Year's party with the disciple who have returned.
'The weather should be nice.'
Ran thought so and exhaled and closed her eyes.
*******
Eustaf smirked at Ran, who waddled out with a fur cape. A white breath came out.
"Can you ride a horse?"
"I can ride it."
Speaking, Ran glanced back at Blaine.
"If you help me."
Blaine smiled and said, "It's an honor," and then helped her get on the horse.
"That won't hurt if you fall off the horse."
At Eustaf's words, Ran nodded, "definitely."
Ran wore cotton pants, not dresses, a vest, a coat, a fur cloak, gloves on her hands, and a hat firmly pressed against her head.
"I don't like being cold."
When Ran bumped her teeth and said, Eustaf shut his mouth.
When she got on the horse, Eustaf got on the horse, and the waiting knights got on the horse one after another.
The road from here to the door was rough, but there was no snow. Because it is protected by magic.
Iveria the Great Sage.
They say she was a cold beauty with black hair, black eyes, and ice, and she was just an ordinary person.
'I imagine - no, I read that she was beautiful.'
Her long, waist-length black hair fluttering and holding a magic wand remains a painting for the Duchess of Lazia.
It was a masterpiece with the theme of a scene that caused mountain ranges to rise from flat land.
'It's amazing to think about.'
Magic makes the mountain range soar.
'And the door.'
Ran knew what was behind the door. So, I was always nervous on my way to the door.
Led by owner Ran, the group climbed the mountain one after another. Ran gritted her teeth and threw them away on the horse, feeling fortunate that she was not a side saddle. The slope is steep and the road is rough. The horse was naturally walking without caring about the person on its back, and Ran, a burden sitting on top, was desperately balancing.
In the middle of the crisis, Blaine flinched and repeated one at a time when he had to reach out or not. He was not in the mood to say anything to Ran, who was holding her teeth.
Of course, other knights were silent. Sometimes a small "Ah!" sound popped out.
Ran was completely exhausted when she arrived at the door for about thirty minutes. It was hot now.
Drenched with sweat, Ran managed to get off the horse with Blaine's help.
Her legs were a little shaky, but Ran was still able to walk properly. Blaine looked at it with anxious eyes and suddenly realized that all the knights were looking at Ran with those eyes.
Ran didn't think pathetically or teased that she couldn't ride a horse, but rather made him think that he should help.
I always thought of you as a towering mountain, but Blaine is not bad at what he is now. I thought.
At that time, Eustaf approached and held out his arm, and Ran opened her eyes in a circle. He spoke low.
"Your knees are shaking, Noonim."
Ran grabbed his arm and said,
"I'm fine, brother."
Eustaf frowned lightly and began to walk. Ran started walking, thinking that she would definitely suffer from muscle pain tomorrow.
Since it was a place where horses could not enter from here, the horses would be dressed tightly and turned around so that the horses would not cool down. Together, Ran, Eustaf, and some knights went under a silver-lit round arch, through a white pebble path and into a cave with a round entrance.
Inside the cave, it was rectangular and straight, with a new white door at the end of the road.
In the middle of the door, six diamond shapes were gathered like petals. This is also the sentence of the Lazian family.
There is no gap or pattern in the white door. All the sentences engraved on it.
When Ran reached out her hand, Eustaf took off his necklace and handed it to Ran. Ran took a deep breath and put the blue ring on her finger.
'Ah'
It's still. There's not even a blue flame like before. Ran put her ringed hand on the sentence.
The sentence began to glow blue. And a radially shining pattern was carved throughout the door. Ran frowned. It was not a windy place, but the wind blew her cape and hair.
Then the wind gradually subsided and the light faded, and the blue light disappeared completely. Ran slowly took her hand off and took out the ring and returned it to Eustaf. Eustaf wore a ring on his necklace.
This simple procedure was a ritual that should be done every year. Then Ran and his group left the cave.
Seeing them come out, the knights stripped the horse.
'I'm in trouble.'
Ran's back got wet. How did you come up, but now that you think about going down again for thirty minutes on a horse, her eyes get dim.
"Noonim"
"Huh?"
Looking back, Eustaf said with his hands clapped.
"You can ride with me."
