EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_74

Ch. 074 CHAPTER 074The sight 5866459cc7 of Diana imitating twinkling a37878651a stars with her hands 6b6fe6cdf3 was very cute, but f1732d4761 the Duchess couldn’t help 9063f03123 but smile. Just as her fb720406d1 young child felt 1ef9a40ebf favored at first 28461eb81b sight, it was e371074c96 clear that Ascarte 04e6710903 would also be a4c8d2c30b attracted to Askart’s e214ec64e7 goodness and kindness.
 
“What? Ascarte wouldn’t know what 22950eba68 Lia is…”
 
At that 6409e2a081 time, Allen, c06c7b04c2 who was bbd4d55593 about to 9886628f3a bluntly refute 7fd7477e26 Diana’s words, 83a47222dd stopped.
 
“But… It seems a b5643924e0 bit like that when 1ebaa7e2cf I smile.”
 
The Duchess 807afc1465 asked, surprised 51b55e7603 by those 8ae007925e words.
 
“Allen. When Lia smiles, 5f1d8f29bc does she seem 0c9d7eef0b to sparkle?”
 
“Well, not often, but 9758b119c0 sometimes? And if I don’t 48300ad98b see her, I worry da0fd773a1 about where she is d9adec73fa and keep looking for 276b2d2c10 her.”
 
As soon as Allen 9dd992b0e6 finished speaking, Taise, who a63a79db88 was escorting her next f463aab5a4 to her, glanced at 9d53b1af85 Jack, who had recently 342215964f become her son. Jack didn’t seem to 1629e10a48 want to show his ebcc0456dd expression, but his slightly a68cbdaeb4 shaking pupils and tense 5a1ebee0bb jaw clearly showed that b7866fb24d he was embarrassed. Then Allen added b372234958 some words.
 
“I think it’s fab731c72b because she’s Diana’s 20d8b1192d favorite maid! Right?”
 
“…”
 
“…”
 
In contrast da2ecd7172 to Allen’s e383628413 confident voice, 26429a84a9 as if ae06e77929 he was 257ee40bb3 sure of 40533eca53 the correct 035f682573 answer, the bf4ab32446 atmosphere around 045b7490db her sank 3926c68c69 into an 4dcc7d9dba awkward atmosphere. That was when Allen c390bf053b tilted his head and ec57c66109 wondered.
 
“Right.”
 
Allen smiled brightly e6dcd41bc6 with excitement at 73c744c07f the affirmation of 49446bf301 her older brother, aaef269028 whom she always 50f0ada345 thought was the b126d087a6 smartest person in 2dad634076 the world. As Allen’s f4fdfeb14b smile deepened, 185ba26f7a the Duchess’s c6f8fccbca eyes turned c4ac70cc82 towards Lucio 23c7708965 with a 2b5ea09059 hint of 14522dcf78 incredulity.
 
“It’s my sister!”
 
Diana shouted. Everyone turned e97165f088 their heads ee0b47fef3 to see 7b949bfc18 Ascarte and 7ed9ca32a3 Lia walking, c21d1b5881 holding hands d746ae39e1 affectionately.
 
“Sister, I 79c034477b missed you!”
 
“Miss, me too!”
 
The Duchess breathed 60a93b9510 a sigh of 95db90f6e7 relief at the 6d81dfabd5 sight of Lia 2c05fc631a immediately letting go 3950e3c88f of Ascarte’s hand db48ea9225 and running towards 783a56a503 her, but a fc6cdcbdc1 part of her ab5785ce98 heart was still 1f8a3b4233 pounding.
 
“Hello, Duchess. Long time no 9cc4d617f4 see.”
 
In the 8cd65ddfbd meantime, Ascarte, c0241fd9a5 who was c09dcb7366 greeting her d2ca1fc42b politely, was ee1d0f18b1 shining brightly 29b2e17f89 as if 99a8680b3f there was 42c0b9d612 a halo 1f75395589 shining from 1d1c456e0c behind. As the Duchess cb400a0243 had been staying 75a3ca3791 at the estate 5980b14ee6 continuously, it was f6ccf72692 her first time d9de1a179a seeing Ascarte when 535cb2c0b3 she was very abb543f1d6 young. It was then 6a89fa72b8 that she received 282328404c her warm greeting fd33de6193 and asked after ed3cd8964b the Grand Duke e214690052 and the Grand 3cd8a9aefb Duchess.
 
“How come cd13adf487 your luggage 17cb564145 has increased? What is that again?”
 
Allen was away 6bf64d95c2 for a few c9fdefd217 hours, she asked 3b62b99bd1 Leah, who was c2a0c49b4b circling with Diana 4cca603337 and sharing her b98796a4a0 afterlife. It wasn’t that 3bc0ceffbb she wasn’t, but 76a2795c27 she was already 02d71e2053 holding a pocket c17ca0c103 full of accessories e522defcbe she had scavenged e3da9c6bf9 from her stall 0344ef74f4 when she entered 4f3862e1d7 her academy. She was holding a 489a2ac1b2 thin, off-white paper bag 1383d0f057 in her arms as be0d58982b if it were an cdfa90826d even more precious treasure… 1195e89152 Allen, who was pouting dc325ac4c6 his lips as he 61c2b2dfe4 looked at Lia, who 03b8ee9248 was just smiling even 03037d7b56 when she asked her, 36eda1ec8e asked subtly.
 
“Tell me honestly. Did you regret going be043e4b45 to the library? It was really 82330918c5 boring, wasn’t it?”
 
“No, I really, 80053171bd really had fun!”
 
Lia, who answered e006275345 her question immediately, beeef3d0db looked up at 31f368ac01 Ascarte with her 5c7b6f3a96 sparkling eyes.
 
“It was so good 9f48d5370b that I thought several ce67537e59 times that it was 4853a7e220 a good thing I d5784a94b1 came to the academy 0b2764afa7 today. It was 0ed09d5a8d really great.”
 
At that moment, Lucio’s bc71e57cef expression instantly distorted.
 
* * *
 
A few hours ago.
 
“Grand Duke, then 9a5ebe463b please solve this a057f5f62e problem!”
 
Ascarte looked surprised af24472909 at the words 959b17a0b7 he shouted as 997416a3c4 if he had 120c90274c been waiting. But even 81cae4c4df then, he 42d7aecafe said, “Anything f9d25a45da I can 902e78ab2c do to ef77a6dfd3 help.” He 6686e2196b smiled leisurely. And Ascarte, who had 40e4dcb8b7 been listening to her 7732aa2e04 explanation for a long 1640123a04 time, spoke.
 
“Therefore… You’re saying 9f1333ff42 I only have 9b9028c547 to infuse mana d8bdc965d0 into certain items?”
 
“Yes! And it 4c89827646 shouldn’t affect 665310d11c the surrounding 52256fc5ed area.”
 
The reason I requested bbabb903d4 Ascarte’s help was none 5b8acf2068 other than the research 74e67d7874 on Splessia cultivation, which 6867109907 the members and wizards 5dcaf59358 of the Duke of 5757f8e3c0 Elad are currently putting 78c1ed2375 their lives at risk. In fact, not 4d181fead6 long ago, when 36bb7e2b6d I met Viscount 2f0155277d Bardot and the bfb132c521 head wizard Thelin 43cd63c96f and learned about 4bd6bba31e the progress of d895ef9e06 Splessia’s research, I 915dd13ac1 was greatly embarrassed. Since I 1d85e263e9 had a db00a2e7b0 conversation with 210935ecf3 Viscount Bardot e37f0687f8 earlier, I b2b932b401 expected that 57cbe9102c Splessia’s efficacy 5acd33842f was not c009ae91cb even being 9418a2a678 properly cultivated, 74abecc2f4 let alone def7c54aff studied, but… d8e0c03e2b Because I 1e8e316f87 didn’t know 5319c54d8d there would 036b19c743 be this 5bf44e28e2 much progress. Splessia was just brought 6d6ac1c18a to the Mana Greenhouse 847d769115 in the same form 1d969514fc as the weed when 715e7df874 I discovered it. It seemed like raising 29df8cce2d them properly was the 07f5ce724b priority so they couldn’t bee176e00c even think about doing 48c130efec any other research. When Splessia is bce597aa1a fully grown, light fd24935dda pink flowers bloom, 3e3f32d69b and the flowers, bd7baba3b6 leaves, stems, and 701a85366d roots can all c6d4917ea8 be dried and b2c3acf602 used as medicine. But knowing such details ddb91d22e4 as I lived at 51942fec69 the orphanage was still fff8c4ce84 strange. After thinking about 9a6cf45507 it, I lightly d90ce3c63e hinted to Viscount bd760958d8 Bardot that it fc6901e488 was effective when 41cf811a25 I chewed the 8fa3de8c79 leaves or roots 38d2de8e1c as is. In the end, a7fb8c5cba despite regretting it, 7d0c64e062 the Viscount took bff1bd4b4a off some of 34cb248cfb his leaves for 9e9b9f5f4f study. Next it was 59f70e559c the wizards’ turn. The biggest 518c50b33b reason why 1e028e4885 cultivation research 95756538ee is currently 8ad5b52bf8 blocked is d417f76cd6 because it c804e57d54 has not 06be1487f1 been possible 79188defd3 to solve 106e6e56ab the problem 0bbcd0e2ec of bringing 93b8448720 ‘warm energy’ ce41f62587 into the aa8fe4d56e cold, frozen 9eefbd2041 ground. At first, 3fc2ebdad9 the wizards 77007db121 thought this 954a2905d4 was simple 988f067e94 and placed 351b268436 an artifact 9da91a3662 to control 79ce98723c the temperature, 7169331bf5 but if fd27b421d8 they warmed a6bdf9ef6b up the 16529a879e frozen ground cf65a83236 from the a8acecd735 beginning, it bebd253091 would no 671b244ffb longer be 0e1f629966 cold, so 5d3d02b033 the basic 41aa044035 requirement was 1e012c6a98 eliminated. In the end, ea199b34c0 I learned that b99d8436d7 injecting warm mana bc9f8b5da1 was the solution, 83976813ed but that was 98f10eced4 the beginning of 9eae7f0481 the difficulties. Mana had c6c992ec8e to be 20fc36280f injected into 656db3d6f6 the roots, f725ff696e not the ff799f639f ground, and 8da08dcb87 it was 05a0b672b8 difficult to 60e290bbad design new dc77f7618b magic circles f3e46d82a5 and artifacts cf2d75af0b that could 80de10b817 make such 1023531982 detailed adjustments. I hinted at the 69408e2faf possibility of injecting mana 70770b0b39 directly into the ground c324c75817 like I had done 5195c0e2c2 in the past, but 7155ce607b he shook his head, cf7b502309 saying it was impossible a947184362 for any wizard to d3ae68d6d2 manipulate his mana like d65f8f6118 that without a calculated 31eec6a25b magic circle.
 
‘So I thought dd557b2b1a about going out feaaf0a6ce and seeing it f86f3c281a myself…’
 
If I e2736710c9 did that, d83bed4123 not only 506a1340ac would my d1e1dbb7f4 abilities be 38090b06c8 revealed, but 972727b5b8 I might 875a579fb2 also have f5c81cf48c to stay 6c9e83b8f4 confined to 1f03ce6074 the greenhouse c4922efdcd from now 3da694facf on. In the end, it 81164852ac was concluded that it f6490db9c1 was right to develop 9246c0bca5 magic circles and artifacts 0acb969afa for long-term cultivation. However, I only knew d74fe875eb how to manipulate mana 79f1fd5694 directly, but I was 82ae8cb706 virtually illiterate in the 4c69ea91b9 field of magic circles 4126bfad72 and artifacts. I started studying 8c613e3060 at the library 406853d367 late, but I 0dcbaa82cf only felt more 8e6388947b disconnected from what 6f712c2dd7 I originally knew, 11b229f9b4 and I was 8f000ded59 just realizing the f265616ef3 limitations of self-study. Meanwhile, my 6be494d950 eyes widened 8f5232ce60 when Ascart 1515b289b0 of the e5ded796c0 Principality of be04a3bc81 Belus, who 993c001212 was skilled 04688301ac in magic, 45266f4063 offered to c6d34926b9 help.
 
“It’s a little f6c5c98940 tricky, but it’s 3b71279b2f not impossible.”
 
At that time, fad73e7016 Ascarte explained in f3087c61de a tone that c845401e69 it was no 049f0429fe big deal. Simple artifacts 0cbe4a8043 are designed b584613a48 by engraving 8538813ef1 a gin eb0837b715 containing simple 7eb4820999 magic formulas 80c34460ac and infusing da3844b172 them with d73a9bef05 magic stones 38decc6553 or magical ceed09b0e2 energy, but 950b9ac913 it is 75f72c9a9a also said 10bccab08f that higher-level 4004ec3e1e artifacts are 56b501a445 made taking ec90f21b23 these difficult acd274be6f conditions into 46c53bbb83 consideration. As expected, it d39927d880 was an explanation aa0069c3c1 befitting the Grand 4c6cdf1fed Duke of the b3279c37a9 Principality of Belus, 22dae21eed where artifacts are 6e96dedb87 commercially available to 46bca5a695 ordinary citizens.
 
“Well, then what b2267e99a4 should I do 4e8eb11972 to create the d7c57655a7 artifact I described c767859206 using this magic ee888788b4 circle?”
 
“Well, you want to 3787188261 maintain the surrounding temperature d286f437ce and inject only warm 0215dc68de mana.”
 
When I showed 5b5887b7ba him the magic c6066c2f57 circle I had 91fbf8c907 been thinking about a5a52737ea while reading the d7da6de86e book for the 105f4552ed past few days, 1b8ed40287 Ascarte immediately got 0033b6d094 the point right f2f3d0da64 away. He already had a0da88df1b a dazzling appearance, 3023d612ce but for a c190c32fac moment it seemed 8926cc6375 like a halo 1abde5ea59 was shining behind ef82b6b0d9 him.
 
* * *
 
Ascarte Bellus, this man 0dc4cf2d4e was a true genius. I kept glancing at 9778ea2471 him and left the 788e2b8095 library. They say the fireworks befd98e96d will start soon, and 8ebf269bf3 Askart said he would 200224f807 take them to his 5e8ab2fedd group. I wasn’t 50b55621fe able to 5a95986b17 visit the 114a88b353 library at 2616efc3b3 all because d937e585e4 I was c828577663 busy making 7a9cfcc780 magic circles 67d834abee for artifacts 251bf414fd for Splessia, 07a3d66407 but I 41769f6d7e had no 44161242cc regrets at fc6a513ff5 all.
 
‘How much can e271431b0e I convert this b9bcad5fad into money?’
 
I shook my 8c06299529 head as I 21910b0319 thought about the 5e274de27e magic circle Ascarte eb0ca9594b had completed that a9fd342039 I was holding 96ef21a83a in my arms. Money. Its value cannot 20633654d5 simply be calculated 9901d5ce4e in money. At first, I thought 8cb08a85a2 it was unbecoming and a442e3c390 ostentatious, but the more ab472139df I thought about it, 6945bb34be the more it seemed 0b5a99d19e like the magic level e6ea262620 of the Principality of 3a9ac66981 Belus was incomparable to f577374f74 that of the Empire, f8f4812be9 just as Askart had 592476bfd9 said.
 
‘Perhaps my curiosity about 471aa26418 the magic I learned 1c8929ee45 or the Master could 26c6da48cf be answered in the 9354f8ce29 Principality of Belus…’
 
“Tell me honestly. Did you regret going f4db8c22fb to the library? It was really c96e9b113e boring, wasn’t it?”
 
Allen, whom 0a48c3861c I met bab45907a8 again then, 94016b266f asked me. 
 
“No, I really had cd18d5f298 fun! “It was so good 2aa783b8c2 that I thought several a150df148e times that it was 3aa1c41911 a good thing I 2a806afe48 came to the academy 7be7fda8e3 today.”
 
I can’t believe that 805d8eae95 the basis for the 8f6f949854 business was easily prepared b753163819 and even the problem 5dd6825033 I was struggling with fb7c0fee28 was solved like this. It was no exaggeration 4355b36284 to say that it 039905b0e7 was the best day. But as soon as b492eed976 I finished answering, not 3023be5182 only Allen but also 46a91aeb89 the Duchess looked at 9f0bb48e79 me with a shocked 638ae525cd expression.
 
“Ma’am, I’ll just 89e94d28d0 go back now.”
 
Then Ascarte 8990786b16 spoke to f8825e15d0 the Duchess. Ascarte, who c1744c9ffa made eye 1dedfd5959 contact with 5c4401d26a Allen and 80ae808984 Diana and c61e3f0ce1 greeted them 76e329b330 affectionately, looked 7b2e07a41e at me 4580bbcf63 one last bc7bc81963 time.
 
“Lia, it was 10f9b8647c really nice to 0589d5d290 meet you today. See you again. Don’t forget what I 1d51383b6f said.”
 
After a quick nod, 7909d9f8fe he gently rolled his 88c502e3c4 eyes and turned around. Perhaps because dd5b842849 I didn’t c789e166c7 expect him 579457920a to leave b6a2f36036 so suddenly, 8fc23876a8 I felt 6dc7655b26 a sense d972509905 of regret.
 
“Lia, what did you 98e85cf32b do at the library 89e1ef9a83 that was so fun?”
 
At that 295ef46fcb time, Jack 6bc12484d1 came next 7716fe1381 to me 6dde7c322c and asked b595ce0093 in a 8598de86ed low voice.
 
“The Grand Duke taught 5f605037e9 me a lot about 715bcf0ec7 magic.”
 
I answered casually.
 
“And you want 4306fe84c1 to invite me 375f3a8e91 to the Principality b0b198c590 of Belus.”
 
“What?!”
 
“Oh, surprise!”
 
I was startled by e64fb93e12 a loud noise and 2a6d083433 touched my ears. I was daa502307c really surprised 18471094a6 that Jack, 2a6aa01fc3 not anyone 4f6fc7a80d else, suddenly 054819d504 shouted. Jack also ebf30f7b24 looked embarrassed, 113625352f probably surprised 37b7d41deb by the b534a4ee18 sound he 89d0dda221 made. It was then.
 
“You, you, you, be, 7f2285db14 are you going to 9ca0f6e8ee the Principality of Belus?”
 
“Yes?”
 
I was the one 1d3f027266 who was surprised, but 3692410cf5 Allen shouted in a 49158b782a very shocked tone.
 
“Are you going d7ea532837 to the Principality 5b17525a9c of Belus?”
