The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 196
– The owner of Malien is no longer the Marquis of Kelibos!
That fact spread all over Malien really quickly.
“Ah, this is…!”
“I believed you!”
Many cheered.
Originally, Malien was a city famous as a mecca for the arts.
Many have left, but not a few remain.
It was even more so because there were many long-lived people due to the nature of ‘heterogeneous races’.
“It will take quite a bit of time.”
Ariandel said with a wry smile.
After completing a series of tasks, we stood on a stone mountain.
Currently, Malien is busy.
“Break it! We do not allow such structures! That’s a form you see everywhere!”
“Oh, leave that alone! It is something of historical value.”
There were sights of repairing or demolishing existing buildings everywhere.
Of course, it’s not about destroying and repairing without meaning.
If you roll your eyes and unconditionally destroy it just because it belongs to Kellibos in the first place, that’s just madness.
What they want is to get it back.
To put it bluntly, even destroying the building right now isn’t because it belonged to ‘Keli Boss’.
This is because it goes against the artistic aesthetics they originally had.
“It is truly an art city.”
“I mean.”
Artists who are not addicted to drugs.
Together with the surviving legislators, they quickly moved into action.
If this continues, it may not be long before Malien returns to its original form.
Of course, they are not alone.
“Heh heh, this is what it means to break something, everyone!”
Just like the butler who destroyed the buildings under the guidance of the dwarves, the party was also helping to rebuild Malien.
Here in the case of Ariandel….
“By the way, can I just stay still like this…? ….”
“it’s okay. Originally, the role of a totem is also necessary.”
Yes totem role.
Just by standing as a saint, she energized the surroundings and increased the speed of work.
It was not at all unusual for me to take on this role.
And in my case….
“It’s about time to come….”
“Hero!”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Looking back, Daedalus was standing there with a pickaxe on his back.
In his hand was an oval stone the size of half a fist.
The light of life flowing through the jewel was telling us that it was a treasure unlike any other.
primordial gemstone.
That’s why I didn’t leave immediately after I’d solved Malien’s problems.
“It’s finally been three days!”
“Oh finally!”
It’s not just me.
Daedalus was also quite agitated.
The holy stone of the beginning is a secret wish that all dwarves want to mine.
He succeeded in digging it up in three days!
he said in a trembling voice.
“I couldn’t believe I could count it so quickly. To be honest, I can’t believe it even now. How the hell did the warrior know about me….”
“Aren’t you a craftsman?”
In his heyday, he was a master craftsman with such outstanding skills that no one doubted that he would dig the ‘Arcanum Stone of the Beginning’.
In fact, it is also thanks to the information obtained before the regression.
…Whatever.
Daedalus looked at the amulet in his hand, still in disbelief.
“I wonder if the day will ever come when I will be able to dig up a treasure like this again….”
“I will come.”
I said with a smile.
“And Daedalus-nim will be able to mine it.”
“Then I’m glad….”
He smiled bitterly.
I can’t tell you directly, but there is another Arcanum somewhere in this stone mountain.
And if he is, he will surely dig up the Arcanum somehow.
But then, handing me the Arcanum Stone, he asked cautiously.
“But will you be okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“The family of the Marquis Kellibos. I know how tenacious and wicked they are. I’ve been through it.”
His eyes trembled a little.
“they…I won’t give up. They will try to subdue the opponents who have thrust their teeth into them by any means necessary.”
He is a victim who was degraded into a disabled man by Kelli Boss’s tenacity.
It is natural to have a strong fear of the great family of Kelibos.
I understand his fears.
“You know that you can never be defeated by them. But still….”
“It’s okay, Daedalus.”
I said with a soft smile.
“Anyway, I’m destined to settle with Kellibos.”
“ah….”
“If they try to destroy me, of course they will have to be prepared to do the same.”
Of course I know.
Kelibos will never give up.
It’s not simply because I ruined their plans.
As long as I am ‘Walpurgis’ they will never give up on me.
It was like that even before the return.
Especially the Marquis’ shady obsession.
I know it’s not the kind that can be cut off by any means.
‘Until either side dies.’
The Marquis Kellibos’ obsession with her mother is a twist that cannot be called affection even in empty words.
I don’t know.
It may have been different when he was younger.
However, no matter what the past was like, as time passed, the marquis’ emotions were twisted as much as possible.
I don’t know the secret history of the past.
Exactly what happened between my parents and the Marquis….
And why does the Marquis hate my father and family so much?
Of course, that’s not important.
What does the situation of the guy who hit me matter?
It’s more constructive to think about how to temper it at that time.
“So it’s fine.”
“Then I’m glad….”
“furthermore.”
I spoke again.
“Kelibos cut off his tail this time and denied any connection to demons, but I am already convinced they are.”
In other words, as a warrior, I am also destined to collide with Kelibos.
“So, Daedalus-nim, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“I guess so.”
He looked at me, smiled bitterly, nodded, and said:
“I was worried for nothing. That the hero is a bigger being than Kellibos….”
“So it’s fine.”
“However, it is not that there is nothing to worry about. Can you listen to this old man’s concerns…?”
“What do you mean by worry?”
Are you saying that there is really something to worry about rather than a vague fear of Kelibos?
‘what.’
Somehow I don’t have a good feeling about it.
I quietly waited for him to speak.
“There was a hint that Kelibos was up to something absurd.”
“Did you do something here?”
“if…Do you know about ‘Twisted Bloodstone’?”
“I know. Isn’t it an object known to have brought the dead back to life in an old legend?”
“exactly. twisted bloodstone. It’s never really brought the dead back to life, but it’s no ordinary stone. The warrior will know.”
Daedalus frowned.
“Legends don’t come into existence without a reason. Especially when it comes to life and death….”
“hmm….”
“It would be nice if this remained my simple concern. But it’s not just that ore. Rumors have been circulating for a long time that Kelibos collects strange things.”
That must mean they did something here in Malien.
Intuitively.
The fact that the words Daedalus is saying right now are not grounded….
Aren’t they already attempting the unforgivable act of producing anti-life stones?
It’s not weird no matter what.
Well worth checking out.
“I’ll check. I hope I’m just a fool, but if there’s a real problem….”
A hunch that it will spread pretty big.
I wish I didn’t, but this kind of ‘bad feeling’ always goes well.
“…You should definitely cut it.”
without any mercy.
Resolutely.
I will bring ruin to Kellibos.
* * *
When Mikhail was engrossed in the thought of breaking Kelibos’s head for a long time.
“…Hmm.”
The Marquis of Walpurgis was looking out the window with a small puppy on his lap.
heh heh!
The dog glared at the treats the Marquis gave him and ate them.
A truly peaceful time.
Viscount Nostra is now devoting himself to research with the mindset of cutting bones in order to somehow play with the dog.
The puppy that came in naturally became the mascot of the Walpurgis family.
While the human and the apostle were having a peaceful time.
“What is that?”
Similarly, Remegeton, who had been spending the day leisurely, entered the room and glared at the puppy on the Marquis’s lap.
“Hey Aidan. i said There are dozens of serpents in it, so don’t give it to me.”
“Heh, Remegeton. It doesn’t matter what the stomach is. I just need to heal people’s hearts.”
“Hey, you’re good.”
The Marquis’ heart was at a loss because of the things his son caused by wandering around the world recently.
What the hell is this son doing so diligently….
I understand.
What could be more meaningful than defeating the devil as a warrior?
I understand, but….
‘From the father’s point of view, it’s literally turning inside out.’
It seems that this time, he also mediated between the emperor and Malien.
Thinking of the needless war of nerves over that….
“Peace of mind after.”
The Marquis calmed his confused mind by petting the puppy lying on his lap.
That was when it was.
“Hey Aidan.”
Lemegeton, who was looking around the office as if it were his own, asked.
“Your wife. How did I come to leave you? If it was your family, I think I could have been able to save it….”
“I don’t think it’s quite disrespectful to ask such a thing.”
The Marquis frowned.
He loved his wife more than anyone else, and remembering her death was, of course, very painful.
However, Remegeton didn’t care and looked at the Marquis.
The Marquis reluctantly opened his mouth.
“…It was sick. incurable disease. It was something that could not be fixed.”
“It was a disease that even the great great mage could not do anything about?”
“Isn’t magic omnipotent? It was just like that then.”
He remembered that moment for a moment.
The days when I despaired endlessly and resented the ruthlessness of the sky.
and.
– It’s okay honey.
A lovely woman who tried to reassure herself by holding her hand until the last moment….
When I recalled that time, my fingertips trembled.
Memories are sometimes like sharpened blades, and they cut themselves just by recalling them.
“So, did your partner die here in this ‘mansion’?”
“That’s right.”
Aidan glared at Remegeton as if he couldn’t understand why he was asking such an uncomfortable question.
Lemegeton is not human.
Of course I know I shouldn’t think in line with humans, but this is a bit over the line.
but….
“That’s strange.”
Contrary to his thoughts, Remegeton’s expression was serious.
As if he couldn’t understand, he tilted his head and muttered.
“Then there must be traces left? No matter how much the soul was drawn here….”
“…What do you mean?”
“No, it’s okay. It’s not like I’m sure of anything right now. I guess I need to find out more….”
Remegeton said that and picked up the puppy that was basking in the sun on the Marquis’ lap.
“I’m borrowing this guy for a while.”
“What are you trying to do!”
“I just need to find out!”
With those words, Remegeton quickly disappeared from the mansion.
“…Uhm.”
The Marquis frowned as he looked in the direction Lemegeton had disappeared.
…Damn it.
Something didn’t feel right.
* * *
The next destination is definitely decided.
“Everybody, listen carefully.”
“No, I’m setting the mood like that to go somewhere.”
Ryan asked with a very anxious expression.
I looked at that guy and smiled broadly.
“We go one more time.”
“…what?”
“I’m going one more time!”
I’ve smashed Kelli Boss once this time, but I feel like there are still more important things left.
so that.
“This time we are going to the Marquis of Kellibos.”
“…?!”
Let’s go to their headquarters this time.
