EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_74

Ch. 074 CHAPTER a66cd6ac0a 074The sight c12221737b of Diana 3d90dae93e imitating twinkling 2ef2aceec7 stars with ba22fb250c her hands b00cc0ed1f was very c6b1061081 cute, but 4c36efa45a the Duchess 3736c6ca16 couldn’t help 6e4a7c47fa but smile. Just as her 9a8ba25b53 young child felt 9fe27d840f favored at first f0cf426031 sight, it was cdb8786fa6 clear that Ascarte 62fda34ee5 would also be 4b05d00915 attracted to Askart’s daecc5501d goodness and kindness.
 
“What? Ascarte wouldn’t d522c639a5 know what acfc91b3e8 Lia is…”
 
At that time, Allen, d05330a45a who was about to ab3687fb69 bluntly refute Diana’s words, 74b45dd04c stopped.
 
“But… It seems a 4f95ea2cee bit like that when 64ed33747e I smile.”
 
The Duchess 7b0affc818 asked, surprised 5a4344d40e by those ec84109202 words.
 
“Allen. When Lia smiles, da26ca8cb1 does she seem 21b8557120 to sparkle?”
 
“Well, not often, but 8b8b7793b6 sometimes? And if I don’t 0b3093a97f see her, I worry c64a630b3a about where she is 30a43439bd and keep looking for 56a589229c her.”
 
As soon as 8e3aa9d08a Allen finished speaking, 8d61b16879 Taise, who was b590017f0a escorting her next 83dde0350a to her, glanced 81d5706854 at Jack, who f09c320f7e had recently become 8bca6d3a3b her son. Jack didn’t 687f6a88ef seem to 8bcfeec63b want to e8893f952e show his f88c57d8fb expression, but 7fc9598e23 his slightly b22ca9b6c1 shaking pupils 8795450c92 and tense 1418aa8c22 jaw clearly 665be0d0c7 showed that a2d2158523 he was 53ae997cc8 embarrassed. Then Allen added b10e23e01a some words.
 
“I think it’s c8348c53d0 because she’s Diana’s 6c45b43f64 favorite maid! Right?”
 
“…”
 
“…”
 
In contrast fb56166456 to Allen’s 0c98c56869 confident voice, 4073bd0d14 as if d0300ef980 he was ccd8c20e6c sure of 9ee71008c1 the correct 96bd214277 answer, the 499b2d0e2b atmosphere around 1509bc79b7 her sank e1a5d0f538 into an 92b356de32 awkward atmosphere. That was when Allen 1b9f69ead3 tilted his head and 6fd082e253 wondered.
 
“Right.”
 
Allen smiled brightly with e31894f46f excitement at the affirmation 26f740be84 of her older brother, 4683c1d849 whom she always thought d2d67037ae was the smartest person 27f1d48aac in the world. As Allen’s c657975c43 smile deepened, 496ec93461 the Duchess’s 4df931e2c9 eyes turned ea6bc7741b towards Lucio 1a5abcd33c with a 593bb25222 hint of 956013c67a incredulity.
 
“It’s my sister!”
 
Diana shouted. Everyone turned their 720547a19a heads to see ee5988e25d Ascarte and Lia ee57c515d7 walking, holding hands 6938048f7a affectionately.
 
“Sister, I missed 24ae723b01 you!”
 
“Miss, me too!”
 
The Duchess breathed 1a6371717e a sigh of d6d5688fae relief at the fab6549a9e sight of Lia 20c50aa23e immediately letting go 660cdfd7ba of Ascarte’s hand 82ffa5c8fe and running towards 8edd1ceda4 her, but a bc1ca5a35a part of her c35537000a heart was still 8a888abb8b pounding.
 
“Hello, Duchess. Long time no d6fdb442be see.”
 
In the 44dfb09863 meantime, Ascarte, dfc20e3775 who was 0bfa7e3615 greeting her 73f0a0762f politely, was df66fd9a18 shining brightly ad12123028 as if 843b6d7d0c there was db03df04ba a halo cd1b76d692 shining from 4ad0048feb behind. As the Duchess 8968c36a88 had been staying 581bc1003e at the estate 27cfc5500a continuously, it was 240682818e her first time 78332c5230 seeing Ascarte when 510cbcc4a4 she was very 4399d45b82 young. It was a429fdfe95 then that 660ecbda91 she received 68fdef6d30 her warm 245faed152 greeting and e5c2abd655 asked after 009dba55c2 the Grand c4dc942676 Duke and 1cd89ae424 the Grand 4e9c10e6b2 Duchess.
 
“How come your luggage b43ea0ca28 has increased? What is that again?”
 
Allen was away for 6840177ecb a few hours, she 1896359ed5 asked Leah, who was a35f659f1b circling with Diana and 4c186e41ef sharing her afterlife. It wasn’t 36e099d5a6 that she 86308b11db wasn’t, but 4596f9e201 she was 39278392ce already holding 27dcb58add a pocket 4754462c3b full of 53d18269f0 accessories she c36f296e4a had scavenged 611dba972d from her 9cd735337b stall when c5610b9b98 she entered 5ba945112c her academy. She was holding 56ec9f5870 a thin, off-white 4be6df96b2 paper bag in 3524916945 her arms as e8e887f357 if it were 737ef66817 an even more 01c55a33c3 precious treasure… Allen, 501558b7eb who was pouting 0263a31cd7 his lips as 431be0986e he looked at bf22f52ebc Lia, who was 9c35d9c5e5 just smiling even 0d9b8009e0 when she asked 4ea13d8698 her, asked subtly.
 
“Tell me honestly. Did you regret dccfd11318 going to the 19b4851fdd library? It was really b0820b8779 boring, wasn’t it?”
 
“No, I e10261671c really, really a67ba27764 had fun!”
 
Lia, who 7cfbd19381 answered her ee04a2daca question immediately, 4d59b173b4 looked up 9dc604ffbb at Ascarte 0295cd0354 with her 522f6e6825 sparkling eyes.
 
“It was 30817e46d2 so good 9072e12f89 that I e1f8915307 thought several 4dfb0ad368 times that 68b134e25b it was 8e19df9018 a good 35fb1ee48f thing I 6ce74d30ea came to 9ccd2f0940 the academy a05a780327 today. It was really 3ab5151bd2 great.”
 
At that moment, a3cbb6935e Lucio’s expression instantly bcff763b24 distorted.
 
* * *
 
A few hours ago.
 
“Grand Duke, 8b012f4cbd then please 6e1615268b solve this a331debab8 problem!”
 
Ascarte looked surprised 72ed2193d0 at the words 118cba9073 he shouted as 1048f77c17 if he had df598c4c68 been waiting. But even 078416a2db then, he ce92507215 said, “Anything 7bdfb9793f I can 6b84798201 do to 4fdaa886d4 help.” He f24594339e smiled leisurely. And Ascarte, b1f91ea0bd who had 469bee9b51 been listening b9647d8ee2 to her fe6926f169 explanation for 9ecf9217b6 a long 153abf23f8 time, spoke.
 
“Therefore… You’re saying 6c29b45344 I only have 6b0900370e to infuse mana 56cc6b4e27 into certain items?”
 
“Yes! And it shouldn’t affect f2265affde the surrounding area.”
 
The reason aa1ade97df I requested 91e75583f8 Ascarte’s help 5eb96bd32e was none 33355a7389 other than 5b360f65ed the research fca71fd9f8 on Splessia f6605c9b68 cultivation, which ac8154bc8b the members 127f38dc7c and wizards 8bf89cd378 of the 2e4b0891da Duke of 3cb4e972d1 Elad are ed1e596bfd currently putting e6522ed77d their lives 73bc2016c4 at risk. In fact, not long 7e34546ec4 ago, when I met f0d31936ce Viscount Bardot and the 73e75b1fbe head wizard Thelin and f672fbd55c learned about the progress 4384df8bfe of Splessia’s research, I b6985cbdd3 was greatly embarrassed. Since I had 21c2562ea8 a conversation with fccd002f22 Viscount Bardot earlier, d0ee12a6a5 I expected that 6cd6d5df74 Splessia’s efficacy was d79e1c03d7 not even being 7b5091cc8d properly cultivated, let a4a96e7693 alone studied, but… caf6df95a6 Because I didn’t d094e4a473 know there would a328705aac be this much 1cd42fcbcb progress. Splessia was f76a81f06a just brought 3da7739c34 to the 442eb9dd7f Mana Greenhouse 67aab7239e in the a621f4def6 same form fc8db27cf8 as the 2351eac909 weed when 99b9e0b037 I discovered 1152a3ec25 it. It seemed like bfc9e284b7 raising them properly 602d041dd4 was the priority c99a75155e so they couldn’t ab25b9688e even think about 3c4467591c doing any other 66ed2e49a8 research. When Splessia is fully 627206e70d grown, light pink flowers 0e72478688 bloom, and the flowers, 48341044a9 leaves, stems, and roots f2f575b837 can all be dried 494761aa03 and used as medicine. But knowing such details 1d438ab6dd as I lived at d4b258faae the orphanage was still 969b5d9d45 strange. After thinking about 7b14e5be19 it, I lightly 7941af1fc8 hinted to Viscount 15a2e7820f Bardot that it 4d55a1c093 was effective when c978c2063c I chewed the b7d38e628f leaves or roots e748aa7745 as is. In the end, despite 1110779b95 regretting it, the Viscount 5e74e1a71e took off some of f2b8814864 his leaves for study. Next it was e94478aa92 the wizards’ turn. The biggest reason c7500678f6 why cultivation research f09681bfc4 is currently blocked bc87efe068 is because it f655b6128c has not been d8564cb9e7 possible to solve b65d47d715 the problem of 0cbdb7885a bringing ‘warm energy’ 9279c84036 into the cold, 6f299ef4e9 frozen ground. At first, the wizards bf425cfbac thought this was simple e8a7e3625e and placed an artifact ae3148a1ab to control the temperature, 41c1f674d3 but if they warmed 3b0be1d6d1 up the frozen ground 3f36c7d5c7 from the beginning, it f97615af57 would no longer be 0b500a4567 cold, so the basic b63bbbd994 requirement was eliminated. In the end, I 2b55c189d1 learned that injecting warm 57c5e3177f mana was the solution, cbd4db4862 but that was the 9042a50da5 beginning of the difficulties. Mana had to be 66805a322e injected into the roots, 57ba41c568 not the ground, and 24c21b369d it was difficult to 6fa80192c6 design new magic circles 0adbed7f38 and artifacts that could 8cbac75a2f make such detailed adjustments. I hinted 58f1a2bbb4 at the 50674fa42c possibility of b44e5eddd8 injecting mana b0461769e6 directly into e012d5ee4d the ground be23dd4b2c like I 4f226c3cff had done 16955e8c0d in the 6b3a6faa94 past, but 4bb3e6bef6 he shook 2a54ea1e45 his head, d5ce8b7588 saying it 9f3b51a520 was impossible b99f10fcc8 for any b2162ff108 wizard to 70a0e7234f manipulate his a27247a3e4 mana like b29c2ac2a3 that without 6b4b1629d2 a calculated 4c706cd10b magic circle.
 
‘So I bd2b4bdc13 thought about 93678199c9 going out daa2a47ee9 and seeing 12cb5d886c it myself…’
 
If I did b5ccfece56 that, not only 0cd2caa45c would my abilities 472c932ab8 be revealed, but 7e9cca07e3 I might also 4a32cc2cdd have to stay 8637ff414b confined to the 28e456acb3 greenhouse from now e5f7846fce on. In the end, it ff9449b628 was concluded that it 5b9a5d5a61 was right to develop b223ccfabb magic circles and artifacts bc2efc34fc for long-term cultivation. However, I only knew 8117577fd8 how to manipulate mana 0e8fc50e49 directly, but I was fb86ce3028 virtually illiterate in the 10a69ca2f6 field of magic circles e5a9ade860 and artifacts. I started studying at e2297c9f1b the library late, but f16fb4baa8 I only felt more f9cd86bdab disconnected from what I 96ff42eb74 originally knew, and I 947a459a77 was just realizing the eb613d73ff limitations of self-study. Meanwhile, my d5517d7cc7 eyes widened d6778efb06 when Ascart 66a7d49e9c of the cecaf0cae7 Principality of 021190d703 Belus, who 4e582c9436 was skilled 2713a90ee6 in magic, 2a92b94e27 offered to 6c174e075f help.
 
“It’s a b16b1183c8 little tricky, 60f743765d but it’s 73d0461f13 not impossible.”
 
At that time, bd8233a8c9 Ascarte explained in 08ef9c3e1f a tone that 5920000acd it was no cf56c012e3 big deal. Simple artifacts are designed e952b12567 by engraving a gin 91fe29ab51 containing simple magic formulas 57974000fc and infusing them with bdfc963ff1 magic stones or magical 93ffb59c39 energy, but it is 53362446ee also said that higher-level 4339fb48f2 artifacts are made taking 3a49244e18 these difficult conditions into e2de155beb consideration. As expected, it was a58613adc6 an explanation befitting the e4151dfc10 Grand Duke of the 946301fb53 Principality of Belus, where f9b5a107ed artifacts are commercially available 1161d6ec1f to ordinary citizens.
 
“Well, then c6f85ae96d what should 0e68deb1ce I do a4ccdc5ed8 to create 296479e1f2 the artifact c795c7f27b I described 1d0ff0642e using this 4c5653e5b1 magic circle?”
 
“Well, you fe2853644d want to 5b6909c454 maintain the 135804857c surrounding temperature 3086f297d2 and inject f22f77204c only warm 69ca862cc8 mana.”
 
When I showed him 654b074624 the magic circle I 96766bf059 had been thinking about 2cfb527797 while reading the book 6589889c38 for the past few 501a2caed8 days, Ascarte immediately got 1e0e4f8993 the point right away. He already 8fa9f076b1 had a 44676105b3 dazzling appearance, 53ef4e48bf but for 17dbf5496e a moment 17656daff8 it seemed 314966885c like a 6d8b7ef433 halo was 2fc29dfd62 shining behind 7ba67a7b7b him.
 
* * *
 
Ascarte Bellus, this man 6e491b347d was a true genius. I kept glancing at 4417d92f7c him and left the 2b5daa17c0 library. They say the fireworks a8a76f696a will start soon, and ab4e45f7a8 Askart said he would 8167f4f057 take them to his d8f3097c89 group. I wasn’t 1c19847281 able to 8c69f4c39a visit the 0765b9618d library at 484b69ee20 all because 9ad446cebe I was 922322a333 busy making 84de93b3d4 magic circles efc9cdfc8e for artifacts 19c5ca300e for Splessia, dbe786987f but I 81757725be had no a7649dd371 regrets at b4949b272e all.
 
‘How much 992b36f88d can I 59681e7d85 convert this c4307ad8f3 into money?’
 
I shook my 13f066a0dd head as I e3a655d55d thought about the 18df211bb9 magic circle Ascarte 5ae09be884 had completed that 988a3ee496 I was holding d5f0c90c0c in my arms. Money. Its value b7af9e47bc cannot simply 0b9d3080da be calculated 0a09831357 in money. At first, a8313c0295 I thought 6bcd1d2668 it was ca8e20cbd1 unbecoming and cddadf3653 ostentatious, but fa4238dc21 the more e967a981a4 I thought 23b2053cb2 about it, 01d8f24414 the more 7d3cc3de2a it seemed 99abfb5aea like the da0c2140d7 magic level 1ee60e4fc2 of the 65a0b642ed Principality of be124bca6f Belus was 002be4f875 incomparable to 1576f3c75a that of a342464985 the Empire, 654436ede5 just as eb0a44c737 Askart had 898f637f2b said.
 
‘Perhaps my 726d9de486 curiosity about ee80476716 the magic df91367885 I learned e5448039ca or the c3e26761ca Master could d6afafb8ae be answered 43581d372a in the 11a368166c Principality of b674f7fefc Belus…’
 
“Tell me honestly. Did you 2be1adc53b regret going adee524358 to the 428c5bd728 library? It was 190aa0d52c really boring, e756319678 wasn’t it?”
 
Allen, whom I e9669cc035 met again then, 9be9dea486 asked me. 
 
“No, I really had bed8fcf753 fun! “It was so 92e25d0df7 good that I bf4d341196 thought several times 5dd9172354 that it was f668ea9585 a good thing 793e4bec14 I came to ae0c480f88 the academy today.”
 
I can’t 9b2fa91399 believe that 7d765bd5b1 the basis ba61dacd17 for the 449ebf5ecd business was 23b8fba203 easily prepared 8f7d4a8768 and even 1792643816 the problem dfb46dbd60 I was 9a016e766b struggling with fba91761f7 was solved 2a09290f47 like this. It was b4402ecfc4 no exaggeration 06d480bfc9 to say ea978b1fec that it c3578a905b was the 01de33b95f best day. But as soon 5d5d1ed483 as I finished ccf1adfc05 answering, not only 7be47b0108 Allen but also 30f881305c the Duchess looked b89c2b1e26 at me with c880c68d38 a shocked expression.
 
“Ma’am, I’ll bbd2eaeb50 just go a07624919d back now.”
 
Then Ascarte spoke to f324e0c507 the Duchess. Ascarte, who made eye 83ae0fbfae contact with Allen and c016f07a78 Diana and greeted them eba168ce3c affectionately, looked at me b624f534f8 one last time.
 
“Lia, it e72d042c30 was really 65fabde1e8 nice to 55b6ddc3fa meet you a90ee5e4e1 today. See you again. Don’t forget f6ac61c165 what I b6bb720388 said.”
 
After a quick 7d2b309126 nod, he gently cfde3a25ab rolled his eyes 8fa947a014 and turned around. Perhaps because I a3fd21cab9 didn’t expect him 8e2781b561 to leave so e75b343d3f suddenly, I felt 2957f02fbf a sense of 62f8a18c1d regret.
 
“Lia, what did you 4b905d4b27 do at the library a0e9a1fc22 that was so fun?”
 
At that time, Jack ebc73db9d5 came next to me 85cca4f195 and asked in a 50d632b517 low voice.
 
“The Grand Duke taught 7a84d28c8f me a lot about fd392a4b1d magic.”
 
I answered casually.
 
“And you want ecf6a842cf to invite me 4703be0daf to the Principality d4c00a9f40 of Belus.”
 
“What?!”
 
“Oh, surprise!”
 
I was startled by 8cfb8a87d4 a loud noise and 729596efba touched my ears. I was really e6599c6e38 surprised that Jack, 25f97bf31a not anyone else, 9c13789572 suddenly shouted. Jack also 3d57fe061c looked embarrassed, 3daf1f5846 probably surprised 2953fadabd by the 9e745e4803 sound he 415e15ed45 made. It was then.
 
“You, you, 063aee50d8 you, be, 532df738d3 are you 2bdeda3b76 going to 44bb774df1 the Principality 7323e8c25d of Belus?”
 
“Yes?”
 
I was 278b9c001b the one 9c7e66908b who was c9f133ac56 surprised, but c69706e516 Allen shouted 9614078671 in a cc4c32d2c7 very shocked 7fcf25fa54 tone.
 
“Are you going to a04c3f7e84 the Principality of Belus?”
