Chapter 319 - Episode Nineteen - Attack of Penrath (10)

“G-God ……! I didn’t know that the God of Truth had already come to this world ……!”

Penrath crouched down and cried, looking up at me with red eyes that were intoxicated.

I glared at Penrath, but making eye contact seemed awkward, so I turned to Euris to ask her to explain the situation.

Euris didn’t seem too upset and nodded with a straight face.

“I’m sure he’s just as crazy as Marias. It happens all the time in fage territory.”

“Huh ……?”

Marias, who is one of the four great priests, and who had posed as a victim of the Nalgarn riot to get into Lark’s clutches, suddenly underwent infantile regression after her fight with me, calling Lark “Papa!” I wonder if there’s any relation to that time when Euris struck me with the hilt of her sword.

I’m not sure what the intentions were behind that, though it was said in a somewhat implied way.

“This fool, to Mr. Abel… no, really admire you, Abel-sama! I never imagined that there was a person who knows so much about magic! Just now, due to my stupidity and narrow-mindedness, I was extremely rude to you, Abel-sama ……! You are the one who is closest to the truth of the world. I’m sure I’ll be condemned to death after this, but …… it was a great honor to finally meet you, Abel-sama ……”

W-What’s with this guy?

How can you get so excited all by yourself right after going into enemy territory and losing so badly?

“Abel-dono, let’s get this old man and go back to the village.”

…… Why is this guy so calm?

In any case, I should make a makeshift rope using earth magic to Penrath, bind him, and carry him on the Ortem.

It’s not easy to carry a person on an Ortem in terms of comfort, but he is a prisoner of war.

Sorry, no mercy.

“Yes, let’s get back.”

“Dear Abel, ……! Please, please let me see that wooden doll that dismantled Azhidhaka! I beg you! Please ……!”

I stopped my body involuntarily.

“Abel-dono ……?”

Euris looked at me quizzically.

“Euris-san. There’s no point in rushing back, let’s take our time.”

From then on, it became a situation where I walked, Euris rode slowly on a horse, and Penrath was strapped to a large Ortem.

“You know that the sorcerer Rideon conducted a magic experiment to investigate the regularity of wavelength changes in the scattering of magic waves in seven colors?”

“Of course, Abel-sama! If you don’t know the Rideon magic scattering formula, you may call yourself a magician, but you are not qualified to call yourself an alchemist! Such shamelessness was not uncommon in the Riveras Kingdom, but it’s a sad story! Oops, I apologize for interrupting your story! Please continue to tell the rest!”

I nodded.

I was foolish enough to tell Penrath that he could only create a patchwork magic circle, but he understood everything I told him and knew at least as much as I did.

He is more than Icarus and less than Altamir.

“Yeah, here’s the thing. I conducted a new experiment based on Rideon’s observation experiment of seven-color scattering. I prepared an ideal space where spirit interference can be approximated to zero, and shot out magic waves of different speeds at specified intervals to cause pseudo seven-color scattering, and let them enter the Feron magic stone. Naturally, the waves were split into Yang and Yin waves, but here I used the Dragoness crystal stone to change the angle, overlapped the two, and observed their movements.”

“Wh-What!? I see …… That’s the way to approach it. …… No, but I didn’t think they would go that far from Rideon’s experiment ……! This means that Rideon’s historical achievement is now just a simple experiment! Af-After that! After that, what happened to it?”

Penrath shouted, his face red with excitement.

“Abel-dono, I was wondering if you could take care of that without me?”

Euris was in a foul mood.

“Ah …… I’m sorry, did you want to get into the conversation?”

“Absolutely not, sir.”

The reply was short and matter-of-fact.

“Woman! Who do you think you are!? You have no idea how wonderful this Abel-sama is! That’s why you can be so disrespectful to him! This person is equal to a god, you know! If you had even a modicum of insight as a sorcerer, you would not have dared to behave so rudely towards him! Ignorance is such a foolish thing!”

Penrath rattled his restrained body and snapped at Euris.

“Abel-dono’s treatment in the Alchemist division is even worse.”

Euris mutters in a small voice.

I pretended not to hear it.

“How unfortunate for the ignorant! The fact that I was able to exist at the same time as Abel-sama is in itself a matter for which no amount of gratitude will suffice!”

“You’re exaggerating, Penrath. I’m just a little more interested in magic than most people.”

When I chided him, Penrath’s body tensed up a bit, even though he was tied up.

“You’re joking again! If Abel-sama is just an ordinary man, then I am no better than the Fogg! Oh, it’s worth living a long life! I-I, I’m very happy right now!”

I was about to cry.

There has never been a person who has been so straightforward in acknowledging my magic.

I was glad to have met Penrath too.

However, Penrath will be sentenced to death or, at best, indefinite imprisonment ……

“Penrath, come to the Alchemists Division of the fage territory. If I suggest it, Baron Lark won’t be able to ignore it. I’ll use you. I’m sure you’ll make your way up to Vice Commander in no time.”

As I said this with a bit of white thoughtfulness, Euris slumped and slid off her horse, slamming her body into the ground.

“Euris-san? Are you okay?”

“Abel-dono! Please don’t make any promises on your own accord! It’s Lark-sama who’s taking the brunt of this!”
