Chapter 13: The Stargazing Stone
"Stargazing Stone?!"
"That's right! "Asa, who woke up, took the gem we found on Renard's corpse and explained, "This gem is called the Stargazing Stone!" We magicians know it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Oh! What's the use?! I asked.
"It's easy! Embedded in a high place, it can emit a special light that is not the blue light we see now! It is a light that only magicians can see, and then it is used as a coordinate point to observe the stars. β
"Oh! β¦β¦ So how far does this light energy radiate? Remember that Bishop Frank said that Mr. Renard's usual task is to place magic devices on the mountain, could this be it? β
"Possibly!" Asa nodded, "This stargazing stone is refined, as long as the magic power is strong, it can be seen even from a long distance. β
"Then why put this on the mountain?" Little Luca asked, puzzled, "Wouldn't it be easier to find a nearby tower?" β
"It's different! The farther away the coordinates, the larger the starry sky will be, and the more accurate the astrological results will be! β
"Can you trace the source of the mana?" Nabal asked.
"I said it! This stone is refined, and it can't be traced," Asa sighed deeply, "I can't do Minia!" Can you?! β
Minia shook her head.
"Alas! The clue is broken again! Asa turned his face and complained, "Sakura, you are really, and you don't wait for me to wake up and go together?!" β
"That's it!" Little Luca also expressed her dissatisfaction, "Why don't you call me and Sister Minia!" β
"Aren't you studying?" I bowed my head in shame, "I thought it was very simple. β
"Alas. Now that Renard is also dead, how do you find that mountain? Asa boredom tossed the stargazing stone in his hand, "Is it true that you really want to ask this stone, 'Which mountain were you placed on?' Who are you the coordinates? 'Ahh Suddenly, his eyes flashed. Then he jumped up excitedly, "I know! I know! β
"Know what?!"
"Hey, hey! I won't tell you! The fool had another classic smirk.
"Dead maggots! Say it! Minia couldn't hold back at first.
"I'm just guessing! Maybe you guessed wrong! Maybe...... Let me think about it! Assa, who was not aware of the crisis, continued to laugh and reply.
It seems that he wants to take the opportunity to make some perverted requests.
This timeless bastard!
"Sakura," it seemed that Nabal also understood Asa's thoughts, only to see him show a rare smile and turn to look at me, "Sakura, fight the Masked Man today." They are not simple, it seems necessary to strengthen waste training, say in advance, save you old to interrupt! β
"Don't worry!" I laughed and agreed. "I'm not going to disturb Assa's training! Even if you beat him every day until he breaks a bone, it's fine! Little Luca~ Do you mind if your sister borrows your teaching props? It just so happens that I want to practice the lower path healing like you! β
"No problem, no problem!" The little guy reacted quickly, "Disgusting brother has four paws~ Sister Sakura, we have two good for one person!" β
"Makes sense...... Minia was also interested when she heard this, "Sakura." Luca. You should also try to treat electrical injuries and burns! β
"Wow! Electric Eel Girl, are you coming too? It's dead! Asa turned blue and began to scream, "Didn't I say it was okay?!" β
Ignoring Asa's screams, Nabar and Minia are already discussing their "training" plans.
"Wow! It's over! β
Giggle! Deserve! β¦β¦
"Lord Rofal! Renard is dead! Pushing open the door to the dean's room, Asa unceremoniously placed the stargazing stone in front of Dean Rofal's desk, "Now only can you tell us where this thing was originally placed?!" β
Rofal stared at Asa for a moment, then glanced at us as he came in
"How do you know?" He didn't deny it, but just said it in confusion.
"How do you know? Do you still need to think about it?! Asa grabbed Rofal by the collar and pulled him closer. Not a member of the Divine Society? Kindness? Dean of the Northridge School of Magic? Kindness? To be able to refine such a perfect stargazing stone, how many people do you think we can have in North Ridge?! Good at observing astrological signs. You also keep records in the library on a regular basis and monitor the world, are you really idle?! Old bastard! β
"Ugh!"
"Yours is yours!" Asa then complained, "Nabal came to ask you, and you said there was no mutation; We've been here for more than a month, and you don't tell you! Just to drag out the time to investigate on your own?! Now that Renard is dead, believe it or not if you don't tell us the location, I'll just freeze you into a popsicle and throw you in the ice lake? β
"Knowing that you still don't want to let go?!" Rofal admitted it very happily, but he was very annoyed and pushed away Asa who grabbed him by the collar, "Anyway, I'm also a friend of your master, and now I know that I am a member of the Non-God Association, so I don't want to be respectful?!" β
"Respect?!" Nabal, who had been silent beside me, spoke, "Non-God Society? Self-righteous stuff! β
"Nabal! It's not about you! β
"Huh? Including lying to me?! Nabal let out another murderous aura.
This time it's a really strong murderous aura, a murderous aura that can lead people to hell!
The air all around us suddenly turned cold, and even little Luca and I couldn't help but shiver.
Asa, who was standing beside Rofal, also unconsciously took a few steps back.
"I ...... I'm forced to do that too," stood for a while, and Rofar swallowed nervously and spit, "For our sake"
"Say!" Nabal reached out and pressed the hilt of his sword as he took a step forward
"Say? What else can I say?! Where is that mountain? Feel relieved! Feel relieved! Now that Renard is dead, I'll tell you! Rofal's face turned blue as he timidly stepped back.
"That's the best!" Nabal snorted coldly, and turned to sit on the couch that was used to meet guests. Then he commanded us, "Sakura! Don't stand still, sit! β
"Alas! Are you all adults? The anger is still so big?! Rofar breathed a sigh of relief. Then he shook his head and complained as he rummaged through his desk for a while, took out a piece of parchment, and threw it directly to Nabal, "This is the map, tell me, how did Renard die?!" β
"Masked Man!"
"Are you there?!"
"Yes!"
"Got a fight?!"
"Nonsense!"
"And Renard can still die?!" Rofar was shocked, "Even you can't stop it?!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"That...... That one! Dean Rofal! "Seeing that Nabal was unwilling to answer, I hurriedly explained to Rofal." There were four of them, and Mr. Nabal was ...... at the time"
"Sakura, stop talking!" Nabal waved his hand to interrupt my explanation. "It's my fault! It's too much to underestimate them! β
"But ......"
"Forget it, Miss Sakura," Rofal sighed, "as long as you live!" The strength of the masked man though I've only heard of it. Even if it's not as strong as that Bal. But it shouldn't be too bad! β
"Humph!" Nabar frowned slightly, but didn't deny it.
"We're all careless...... Leonard...... Alas! There was a silence for a while, and Rofar sighed again, very sad, "Renard is also a good boy who has helped me for so many years...... I didn't think it would be so easy......"
"It's not your business yet?!" Minia, who hadn't spoken until now, finally started to get impatient, "Isn't it over when you start telling us?!" Deserve! β
"That's it!" Asa was also on the side to help, "Want to hide from us to investigate? Did you find anything this month? Oh! It must be gone! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been until now to send Renard to find Sakura-chan Luca. You say, don't you? β
"Yes, yes! Elise and Catbell also say it's you wrong! The little one lifted the paw of the black cat in his arms. It's all your non-god association's fault! You deserve it! β
"Can you show some respect?!" Rofal, who had been embarrassed, turned to lecture them angrily, "Forget about Asana, bastard, Minia, Luca!" You're priests! Renard died for the peace of the world! Can you be more respectful of the dead?! β
"He died because of the boring plan of you bastards!" However, Nabal interjected coldly, "If you want to talk about respecting him, these two priests have already buried him with Sakura just now!" I even prayed for him! β
ββ¦β¦β
"You bastards who claim to be the guardians of the world!" Seeing that Rofal did not answer, Nabal said, "Don't take yourself too seriously! The world is changing, and it's beyond your control! β
ββ¦β¦ We can't? You can? Or is it the forces behind you?! Rofar casually pointed at us and asked unceremoniously, "Do they know about you?!" β
The forces behind you?!
When I heard this, my heart couldn't help but move.
Yes, Mr. Nabal never told us about his past, we only know that he is Ogi's brother, and Asa also questioned it not long ago, thinking that Mr. Nabar must know something that we all don't know, but Nabar didn't answer...... In addition, he can be said to be very kind to us, and he seems to go out of his way to help us...... Just like the Non-God Society, Mr. Nabar is also a member of an organization? And...... It will also be like the non-god association, if it feels that Lacey is in danger...... Just kill Lacey?
Looking up at Asa and the others, they were looking at Nabal with the same suspicious gaze.
"I'm just a swordsman, Sakura, go and pour me the wine in the bottom drawer on the left-hand side of this old thing's desk," Nabal commanded, turning to me.
"Ahh Good! β
"Don't worry about you guys!" Then Nabal said to the suspicious Asa and them, "I, and the forces behind me, as Rofal said, we don't bother to care about this world!" β
"And ...... you?" I asked as I handed him the glass.
"Me? Isn't it because Thresteen is my sister's 'young master'?! Nabal snorted dissatisfiedly, then took the glass and drank it down, "We don't bother to care about the world, but it's not as simple as not helping the world when it's in crisis!" β
"Help? How can it help?! Asa interjected, "Like the Non-God Society?" If you're not satisfied, kill it?! β
"Uncle Nabal?! β¦β¦ No way? Little Luca also showed a disappointed look on the side, "Luca thought you were a good person, uncle!" β
"That's not going to lock him up at most!" At little Luca, Nabal deliberately smiled evilly, making it impossible to guess what he meant, "Or just exile the dangerous people!" β
"After all, you're a guy who thinks you are!" Minia frowned and accused him.
Nabal shrugged noncommittally: "Whatever you want, but ...... Asa, this time you will analyze it again! β
"Huh? I? Analyze what?! Assa, who was named, looked confused.
"Rubbish!" Nabal flicked his glass at him again in exasperation, "When are you going to be prompted?!" About Renard's death! β
"Wow!" Asa screamed, and then pressed his bloody forehead with a painful face, "Say smash it?" It's so ruthless! β
"That's ......" Rofar looked at the broken wine glass on the ground with a distressed expression, "This is the ...... used by the twelve nobles of antiques five hundred years ago"
"Three minutes!" Nabal ignored their complaints and took out the little hourglass again, "I can't tell you that the training will double tomorrow!" β
"Wow! So hard?! β
"Two minutes and fifty-five seconds left!"
"Ugh! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Asa waved his hand in a panic, "Let me think about it!" β
"Two minutes and fifty seconds!"
"Wow! Don't make any noise! β
"Well...... Mr. Nabal! Looking at Asa who was flustered and miserable in front of me, I wanted to help him, so I hesitated and asked, "I...... Can I say that? β
"Huh? You? Nabal frowned, "Well, you can analyze it!" β
"Woo! People won't analyze it like you do...... But, but...... But it feels as if Mr. Renard's death was because of what I said! β
"Because of you, of course!" Minia interjected inexplicably, "I was killed to contact you, wasn't I?" β
"No, no, that's not what it means!" I waved my hand in a panic, "Huh...... Kindness...... How so...... Kindness...... It felt like he was killed because I was the one who met Renard."
"Sakura, you're saying that those masked people didn't want to kill Renard," Assa's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly interrupted me and asked in confirmation, "and then found out that you were the one who contacted Renard, so you decided to kill him temporarily?!" β
"Yes! Right! That's what it means! I nodded repeatedly.
"Why?" Nabal asked.
"Well...... Eun...... "I thought hard," I felt like the appearance of the masked man was so hasty...... And the timing of the shot was when I waved to Mr. Renard, and it always felt a little wrong! (To be continued......)
