Episode 60's
Ian came up to the three of them who were arguing in the courtyard. Vel who was a little annoyed with Ian had to undo his intention to curry favor with Ian even though he wanted so badly.
"Do you know this thief?" ask Yesra,
"I'm not a thief!!" reply Vel emotion,
"He's Lily's right hand, his name is Vel. He rarely shows himself to the outside world" replied Ian,
Yesra and Yusto exchanged glances and stared fixedly at Vel.
"What's your purpose here thief?." asked Yesra, holding back his annoyance,
"I told you I'm not a thief." murmured Vel,
"I've come to replace Lily to check the Mana Crystal section of Grand Duke Darvin's magic tower, you must have known Lily's condition was still in shock" he continued,
"Oh well, follow me" said Ian and left, followed by Vel behind him,
"Aren't you going to believe that guy?" ask Yusto,
"Of course, he's Kel's brother" said Ian and left,
"Kel? You mean sister spy huh?" ask Yesra to Yusto,
"Maybe, I also said that Kel went from the residence for his brother, right?then Vel is Kel's brother" replied Yusto,
"I haven't seen Kel again, where is he?" asked Yesra astonished,
"I heard he went with Marquess Ruvenda abroad" replied Yusto,
"It looks like he's becoming an important person now" Yesra replied confusedly,
"See, anyway we have to be on guard with Vel" Yusto said,
"Eh?Why??" asked Yesra astonishment,
"Are you unconscious?The man's magic was very strange. Suddenly he came with teleportation magic, when it was high-level magic right?In fact, only up to the 2nd level can only teleport within a radius of 200-250 km" Yusto replied,
Teleportation magic is a high-level magic that is mastered by high-class magicians,and only a few people in the Raveldra Empire can master teleportation magic.There are 3 tiers of teleportation magic.The first level or base is teleportation magic that can be used to move places as far as 50-80km,the second or middle level can teleport further, even very far, about 80-250km,and used to go between areas that enter in a larger area.While the third or highest level is very impossible to do by ordinary humans, the color of the distance up to 250-1000km away,and it takes about 100 high-class magicians who can do just that, even the first female magician would not be able to master that teleportation magic.
"What distance is the capital from here??" ask Yesra,
"About 300-375km." replied Yusto,
"HAA?!?Then he's not a normal human being!Brother even went to the point of panting using his mana to teleport 200 km during the war in Abbyz right?It is impossible." said Yesra surprised by Yusto's explanation,
"Abbyz's area is about 5,350km², and brother uses 80% of mana in his body to teleport 200km for the sake of the troops in the west who are squeezed by entrapment troops from the enemy.it is still channeling his mana into the sword.." obviously Yusto while thinking hard,
'I hate counting.' Yesra's mind is resigned,
"But, judging from Vel's fine expression, isn't that strange?"asked Yesra to feel strange, too,
"Right, it's possible that he's not an ordinary 'human'" Yusto replied,
'But.. Why do I not feel the flow of magic in him?..Yesra must have been conscious too, right?'
/The Acquisition of Ian and Vel
Ian takes Vel to the magic tower belonging to the Darvin family which is not far from the castle.
"Is Lily okay?" ask Ian,
"Yes, he's fine but still in shock, there's Lucas and Fei" replied Vel who focused on the butterfly in one of the flowers,
"Fey?" Ian stopped and turned around,
"Yes, she's Count Chartina's daughter" Vel replied looking back at Ian,
"You mean the 'that' Count Chartina'?" ask Ian seriously,
"That's how I know what you're thinking, then from that I had a strange premonition when the woman came to the mansion" Vel flatly replied,
"I'll dig up information about him later, we'll have to hurry" Ian said and went to the magic tower followed by Vel.
Arriving into the tower high and quite large, it was greeted by several witches who worked there.Vel saw a magic ball used to detect foreign magic is being justified.
"Is there any foreign magic that goes into the territory?" vel asked whispering to Ian,
"True, after the existence of Viridis magic 4 years ago disappeared suddenly from the Grand Duchy, 1 year after that there was magic belonging to the elves detected here, when the nation was extinct" replied Ian, answer,
"They are not extinct, just hiding from the 'humans', you know thousands of elves and dwarves who were massacred for 200 years" Vel said casually,
"You say like you're not human" Ian replied flatly,
"It should be so" Vel said in a joking tone,
'Toh the incident between Vel and Kel 4 years ago always made my mind change.The three of them with a girl named Bel are indeed not ordinary 'humans'' inner Ian.
Ian and Vel got to the place where the Mana Crystals were stored.Just like before, the doors made to keep the Mana Crystals had a pattern. Ian used his magic to open that door. A dark blue Mana Crystal that was only half part and glowed dimly was placed on a giant podium.
"Yes.but why is there another magic mixed in the Crystal soul?", He stared fixedly at the Mana Crystal and tried to sense the mana within it,
"This magic is similar to Kel's magic before he returns to his original magic" said Ian slightly surprised,
"Eh?.Then this is not magic.." Vel hesitated,
"It's not magic.don't-don't 'curse'.?", Ian guessed and Vel nodded,
"Exactly, but.why is the aura of the elves also mixed?.there are 4 forces in this Crystal" explained Vel
"4??"
"Pure magic, the Nigreos Magic, the Demon King's Curse, and the Aura belonging to the elves, if left for longer then this Crystal will die." said Vel,
'Actually.why is this crystal soul falling apart?.what is the cause?..'
"I will try to pull the curse of the demon lord.it is the most powerful factor that caused the flow of mana crystals that helped the portal to be disrupted" Vel said placing his left hand on the Mana Crystal, which was the most powerful,
"It's going to be hard, you've never been in contact with a Demon King, that curse can make mana collide on your soul" Ian said trying to stop Vel,
"I can absorb it, even if it's going to hurt",
'Eudon has also warned me not to get involved with the devil.but I have to help Lily..'
Slowly Vel focused the mana within him to absorb the demon lord's curse on the crystal.The hot and painful pain began to be felt from Vel's hands, and,
'Ugh.hold.I have to focus..'
Vel seemed to be enduring the excruciating pain, but the way worked. The Demon King's curse had been absorbed into his body completely, the crystal light mana began to return but his voice was still shrill.
'He's great.' Ian's inner awe, Ian's amazed,
But the other magic in the crystal began to be absorbed.Ian who realized it immediately put away Vel's hand,
"Stop, that's enough" Ian stopped Vel's hand that was still attached to the crystal,
"H-hah. heavy too.." Vel said tired, tired,
"!? i?!your hands!.." Ian noticed Vel's hand turning black, and his finger began to lengthen,
"It's okay..Vedas, I mean Kel can cure this." Vel said,
"You must be in a lot of pain, as seen by your facial expression" Ian said,
"I'm fine.ayo come back..",
Ian and Vel came out of the magic tower with a weak condition Vel and Ian swept it.Yesra who accidentally saw Ian and Vel come out, immediately approached them.
"Sister!What happened to the thief?!" asked Yesra in panic,
"I'm not..Akh!-" Vel was about to reply to Yesra's words but his chest hurt a lot, so much,
"Yesra, don't say such things to the sick" Ian said,
"Sorry, what should I do then?" ask Yesra,
"I will go home now." said Vel weakly,
"Are you crazy?with your current condition, you could die as soon as you reach the capital" Ian replied flatly,
"Sorry.I have to come back soon.see you",
"Tw-in!!"
A bright light with a magic pattern instantly shot out from the ground Vel stood on foot, and Vel disappeared along with that light.
"He's stubborn" murmured Yesra resentfully,
"It looks like he's very serious about taking things related to Lily" Ian said, somewhat annoyed,
"Well, I'm jealous" Yesra said flatly and stared innocently at Ian.
Ian looked at Yesra who looked very short in front of him with a flat gaze, as if he was talking to a hamster.
"Go"
"THE SHARP!"
/Lily,Fei and Bel acquisition
Lily walks in the back garden that has not been reviewed since the last 2 weeks because it is busy.Fei and Bel accompany Lily because Jeremy said there is a large fountain in the garden, which is a big fountain in the garden,and they were excited to see the fountain.
"Lily, the garden is very spacious, how can we find the fountain" said Bel began to get tired, tired,
"True, this garden is very spacious" replied Fei who was also exhausted,
"Awhile more..Uh! That's it!" Lily pointed towards the Fountain with the statue of the Twin Goddess God Beyola in the center, truly a huge pond with many fish.
"WOAHH!!" Fei and Bel were immediately amazed to see the fountain,
'The emperor had already passed me things that were even more luxurious than the palace!' inner Lily,
The three of them sat by the pool and played a bit of water.Fei and Bel were completely fascinated with the fountain.
"The water is very clear and odorless!It's great!" say Bel, please,
"Could the Emperor cast magic into it?" continue Bell,
"Looky!The emperor was not kidding!" reply Fei, please,
Soon, a very bright light appeared in front of the three of them, and Vel's figure came into sight.
"I'm home." said Vel weakly,
"The vel?!What's wrong with you?!" lily asked worriedly and walked over to Vel,
"Ah..Lily huh?." Vel's weak voice really made Lily anxious, though,
"You're very pale." he said,
"I.akh-h!" Vel instantly collapsed right in front of Lily,
"VEL?!?"
Seriate..
