"But now, let me find out where the Adventurers Association is in the capital..."
After moving to the capital, Will naturally couldn't forget his correspondence with the nobleman "Mr. S". After all, he still relied on this worldly expert for a lot of things and knowledge.
So as the young master of the System family, he asked his family's Adventurers Association to have the letters sent by Mr. S be sent directly to the capital, and he would pick them up himself.
But when I arrived in the capital, I discovered that the capital, which only showed one important location of Entak School in the original work, was so big. There are several streets with shops alone. At night, they are full of lights, feasting and music every night.
"Well...it seems to be...here..."
Following the directions on the map, Will turned one corner after another, and finally stopped at...
A deserted alley located at the back entrance of Entak First College...
A broken wooden door with only a small house number...
In front of the Adventurers Association, whose mailbox was empty.
"Ah? What is this?"
Will checked carefully and found that this was indeed the Adventurers Association in the capital, and he had found the right place.
You must know that adventurers are the most popular profession in this era, and they are also a profession that can truly create value in this world. However, it is unreasonable to think that the Adventurers Association in the capital is placed in such a corner and has nothing to offer.
"Well...no, it's actually quite reasonable."
Will looked back at the splendid castle on the mountain behind the bell tower, where the Entak royal family lived. A royal residence taller than the tallest building in the capital.
It symbolizes that compared to the dungeon that everyone has to climb, their royal family is the real master of this world.
——Oh, I'm sorry, sir, times have changed.
This is a thing of the past.
With the adventurous reform of the dungeon, the royal family's development based on agriculture and animal husbandry is no longer enough.
The reform has once again exposed the old scholars trained by the royal family. The relationship between the royal family and the adventurers in the dungeon is now at the freezing point where they want to break through but are embarrassed by it.
The dilapidated Adventurers' Association at the emperor's feet and the prosperous Adventurers' Association far away in the countryside are just a verification of the current situation.
An event is urgently needed as a breakthrough.
But at the same time...
This time is also the most intense moment for the competition between various forces on and off the stage.
No wonder in the original work, at this point in time, the royal family would choose to marry into the System family.
"Well... that's all, such a complicated situation cannot be explained clearly in one day. When I am here today, I just want to find a letter."
Will dug into the cold iron mailbox and actually took out a letter with a postmark from System's house.
It was Mr. S’s reply to him!
"Master, your eyes are lighting up. Do you really like writing letters to S so much?"
"This is the letter my benefactor, my good brother, and my best friend gave me to send."
Will felt particularly at ease when he thought of the reliable and experienced adult man on the other side of the letter.
"Okay, okay... wait, Master!"
Before Yi Aier finished speaking, his tail stood up alertly, and his ears changed from a relaxed state to a vertical and erect state.
"Please come behind Yiel."
She felt a pair of eyes behind her looking at them!
"hiss--"
Because of her last experience, she immediately possessed the ice armor and blocked Will behind her.
But just as she did so, the sight from behind slowly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, young master... Maybe it was Yi Aier's illusion. Someone seemed to be spying on us just now."
"It's normal. I am a young man from a rich family and I am walking down the street with my weak maid. I am a thief and I am watching and waiting to rob her."
"Hmm...but it doesn't feel like this kind of sight..."
"fine……"
Will suddenly rubbed Yi Aier's head.
"They will all be forced back by your dark and profound gaze. Your cold ice armor will drive away all malice around me. Anyone who wants to get close to us will be obliterated by your own hands..."
"Master, this is definitely not Yi'er, right!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Madam, Madam, is so scary. Her dark and profound sight, that cold ice armor... I feel like I will be wiped out by her hands as long as I get close!"
At this moment, the "thief" just now, the witch Leah, was hiding in the corner, squatting with her big hat on.
She just sensed the presence of the coin nearby, so she came to take a look.
As a witch, it is natural to use some sensory magic to find the particularly precious "Witch Coin". After all, it is a relic left by their ancestors.
But this perception is not particularly sensitive. It can only roughly know which person it is on, but not the specific location.
Well, there is no way to know whether the coin is in your pocket or your underwear!
——Of course, it doesn’t mean that she once put coins in her underwear for safety.
Ever since she lost her coin, Leah had been trying to figure out how to make up for it, and she first thought of dropping it at the scene of the crime. But when I went back, not only did I not feel the coin, but the crime scene was also surrounded by police!
But today, while doing experiments in the school laboratory, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt the existence of the coin.
Actually...
She was actually picked up by the young master the client gave her as the target? !
"Well...it's not surprising at all! Humph, it's all within this witch's plan. After all, it was the scene of his attack, so it's only natural that he picked it up!"
but……
The maid with strange powers who gave Leah a deep PTSD was still nearby, which made Leah completely unable to take action.
"Well... um..."
Leia crossed her hands and wore a witch's big hat, pacing anxiously in the alley.
"Will System! Humph, he's just a dandy young man who relies on his family's power!"
Leah looked down upon such people of noble birth and always felt that they must lack effort.
"I can't keep up with my talent. I'm obviously just a bastard with low magic power!"
Leah took two steps to the left.
"He didn't even notice me when I was so close. He's obviously just a bastard with poor perception!"
Leah took two steps to the right.
"but……"
Leah stopped in the middle, holding her head.
"His maid is so strong!!! She is not very young yet, and she can actually master the most basic defensive magic. Well, she must be the genius bodyguard that the System family hired with their power!"
——After all, it’s impossible to be raised by the young master himself, right?
Leah came to a conclusion.
"Head-on confrontation, huh, I'm a genius witch, I'm sure... I can beat her with all my strength. But it's not worth it at all."
Leah, who felt that she was invincible, suffered an extreme setback for the first time.
"The client... they seem to say this is enough... it's so strange, what exactly do they need me to do?"
She scratched her head.
"No, I have to get the coins back first."
He began to recall what he had followed Will all the way, what he saw and heard, and tried to find some clues from it.
"When he was on the road, he mentioned going to school. His clothes seemed to be from the First Academy of the Empire..."
At school, she had heard the teachers talk about the young master of the System family.
Still in...
That annoying class.
"Well, maybe there is a chance to meet him alone?"
Chapter 18 The other side of the little witch
With this idea in mind, Leah went to meet an old acquaintance from Entak First Academy.
"Sister Leah...it's been a long time since we last met. The last time you came to see me was at the end of the last competition..."
Sitting in the luxurious office of Mary, the deputy dean of Entak First College, looking at the white-haired little old lady in formal clothes.
Ever since she took up the position of deputy dean, Mary loved her students, was devoted to research, and was conscientious in her work. She had a high prestige in the college. However, she could not find a suitable successor for a while, so she still took on the job of vice dean.
Because of her old age, her figure has shrunk a bit. Her small body is sunk in the huge soft chair of the vice-chancellor, and her eyes are sunk in the folds of her face. She is wearing a cane, wearing a magic robe, and Wearing a big witch hat. Compared to the diminutive Leah, she looks more like the legendary witch who catches children and makes soup.
——If it weren’t for her extremely kind smile.
"Then, um... it's better not to call me sister. It's a bit strange."
Leah subconsciously avoided Mary's smile and eyes.
Because it would always remind her of the first time she saw Mary decades ago, her fearless smile and clear eyes.
Mary was actually her mother's student. The witch originally had little contact with ordinary humans, but Mary broke into the forest alone, wandered around the witch's maze, and walked all day and night to find their hut, hoping that her mother would accept her.
She did this three times. Because of her persistence, my mother had her first student.
They had also conquered dungeons together for ancient magic materials.
This is not a particularly long time ago for Leah, but...
In the blink of an eye, the child who would call her "sister" turned into a mature deputy dean...
Also old.
And she is still the child she was then.
Leah's eyes moved away from her palms, which were so small that even the teacher's smallest robe was longer than her fingertips.
Raising her head, she looked at Mary under the light. Her white hair was particularly eye-catching under the warm light.
She studies magic too much, works too hard at school, and is too casual about herself. It seems that she is aging faster than her peers.
Leah was thinking that maybe one day not too far away, she would attend her funeral, and at that time, she would still look like a child.
She would stand outside the student who brought Mary flowers, look at him silently, and leave as an ordinary friend whom she did not know very well.
This is probably what her mother taught her over and over again...the reason why they witches always face loneliness.
"...I came here specially, there must be something going on. There are only a few days until the competition, and I am also very curious about what surprises Sister Leah can bring us this year."
Mary stretched out her right hand and lifted the small teapot next to her, wanting to pour tea for Leah across the table.
"Don't mention last year, ah... I want to delete the memory of last year..."
As she spoke, Mary had just lifted the handle of the pot, and her right hand, which was so thin that only the wrinkled leather covering was left, trembled and was not held.
But when her hand just slipped, Leah's small palm took her place and caught the handle of the teapot as if she had been waiting for a long time.
"Still the same as before, so careless. I don't need to bother the vice president with such a small matter as pouring tea. I can do it myself."
Liya pouted a little dissatisfied.
Faced with Leah's slightly blaming tone, Mary smiled with relief:
"Sister Leah, you know that my right hand was injured...I lose strength from time to time, so you keep watching and are ready to take over the pot when I am not careful, right?"
Liya lowered her head, and the brim of her hat covered her expression. She not only poured tea for herself, but also filled Mary's cup.
"Alas...actually, I forgot that my right hand was injured when I was in the dungeon. The injury was serious at that time, and Sister Leah helped me do heavy work for a long time."
