53.

“Order and… Chaos?”

“Yes, order and chaos. Huh? What’s the matter? Like hearing it for the first time. Do you really not know how the world was created?”

As if to say that the dark expression just before was an illusion, Serna instantly put a twirling expression on her face. Seeing this, the saintess felt ashamed as she seemed to have been teased. However, the saintess immediately got out of that mood.

Serna’s eyes were smiling at herself, and I could see her subtle melancholy. For a moment, Esilia felt a sense of difference in the expression of her raised mouth and the opposite emotion in her eyes. It was just a simple sense of alienation. She had such a sense of heterogeneity that the facial expression that was directly revealed would not be true emotion. However, as simple as it was, the depth was profound.

Before the saintess could say anything to Serna, Serna brushed her hair once. After she turned her head, she looked back and there was no look of sadness on her face. Serna continued to twirl her laugh, and she said to Esilia.

“Why? Or are you really a little girl and don’t know about order and chaos?”

Cilia blinked her eyes once. The saintess could see that Serna intentionally made this expression to hide and appease her own depression. The saintess gently raised the corner of her mouth. Sometimes it’s better to slowly brush away the pain than direct soothing. The saintess decided to join her method. The saintess shook her head.

“It can’t be. In the beginning, the two great forces of order and chaos collided to create the sun, moon, stars, sky, land, and sea.”

“Yes. I know.”

Hearing her saintess’ words, Serna leaned her head against her husband and giggled. Serna pointed to one side of her house with her chin. There was a mural that the Death Knight had been appreciating just before her. It was a mural depicting the clash of two mighty forces.

Escelia recalled a story she heard from Miss Belle Luke when she was little. Holy spirits were born from order, and demons were born from chaos. The brightest place of order was called heaven, and the darkest place of chaos was called hell. Of course, it was so old that it was just a story passed down like a legend. The saintess, recalling her story, tilted her head.

The mural did not end there. Something was more vaguely drawn. However, the saintess did not know what it was. Seeing her like that, Serna cleared her doubts.

“It represents the age of transcendence.”

“The Age of Transcendence?”

It was a strangely familiar word. She wondered where she had heard this. But before she could think properly, Serna’s explanation was delayed.

“Yes, the age of transcendence. The era right after the birth of the world. It was a time when order and chaos covered everything, and it was so splendid that it could not be compared to now. An era that completely transcends us. It’s the era we dream of. Every wizard dreams of that. The time when order and chaos colored the world, close to the truth. Magic was created while researching to get closer to its source.”

Serna smiled softly. Ecilia felt her heart swell. Even though she was ignorant of magic, she could see how passionate and sincere Serna was about magic. The saintess liked her passion. The saintess herself noticed that the corner of her mouth went up even more than before. Seeing the saintess’ smile, Serna smiled while looking at Esilia.

“That’s why the old people of the Mage Tower are really crazy about what they found. A magical being with vestiges of an old world? Can’t you stand this?”

“That’s why the wizards of the Mage Tower want to finish their research completely as soon as possible. In other words, they are frantically trying to secure a means to obtain living experimental materials or money. Are you still trying to enter the Magic Tower?”

At her husband’s words, Serna barely resisted dropping and breaking her plate of stew, which she was holding for the moment.

“What? This crazy…. Why did i bring you guys? It’s to avoid being dragged to the Magic Tower! But you’re going to walk in there with your own feet?”

“We must go.”

The answer to her words came from Jer Pi Ed, who was quietly listening. Serna turned her head towards Zer Pied. And at that moment she could see. The steadfastness felt in her bloody eyes of Zer Pied. What did Serna want to say?

But she couldn’t. She knew she would never say anything.

It was that kind of steadfastness, similar to the look in the eyes of other wizards when they were exploring magic. She let out a sigh, holding back the strange feeling of wanting to smile. No matter how much I thought about it, she smiled because it just didn’t suit this situation.

“Okay, then let’s listen. Why are you trying to go to the Magic Tower?”

“There is what you are looking for.”

“… What is that?”

“A magical item.”

“… Okay, I hate to tell you, is this? Is that dangerous?”

The Death Knight shook her head resolutely. For a moment, Serna thought while twisting her own red hair, then muttered with a smile.

“Well, you guys are not trying to trick me or anything like that. In the first place, there is no way that a person who is at least a knight can be fooled. And if you were going to harm me, you would have already killed me in the sewers.”

Serna grinned at the tip of her bright red lips. Her scarlet eyes twinkled.

“Perhaps I have a reason for drinking this stuff. Right? It’s not like I’m peddling chivalry. But I know that any sane knight will try to uphold that disgusting discipline. Refraining from lying is one of them. And you know that they’re not idiots spilling information in the name of chivalry. What do you want from me?”

“You are clever, I think you already know.”

“I’m a bit smart. Are you asking me to help you enter the Magic Tower?”

“What?!”

As soon as he heard Serna’s words, the ball tree moved her body as if she was about to jump. Of course he had to be caught by his wife’s long arm and stroked a bunch of his chestnut hair. But the bulging eyes remained the same. He said firmly.

“I can never allow that.”

“You know, husband. Isn’t it polite to listen to everything people say first?”

“Have you forgotten how you got out of there? Are you going in there again? I will never allow it.”

Serna shrugged her shoulders.

“My love says so. Well, putting my love opinion aside for a moment, knight, you don’t seem to know how to talk to a mage. First of all, a wizard would never-“

“-Do not respond to unprofitable requests.”

Serna and Voltree made similar expressions as if to prove that they were a couple. They blinked a few times with their eyes wide open.

“… Do knights these days even learn the maxims of wizards?”

“I just heard it over my shoulder.”

“Then the story will be fast. Let’s say I help you guys get into the Magic Tower. What are you going to give me?”

“Aren’t you curious about the knowledge of the highest rank in the Mage Tower?

Serna flinched at her body. But she soon turned her gaze to her husband, whom she held tight. She looked at her husband for a moment, then Serna shook her head.

“It’s hard. But if it was meant to be, she wouldn’t even be there. I don’t want to take the risk of making my husband a miner with just that.”

Zerpied did not answer her words. Instead, she silently glanced over the couple’s house. It was a small house. As she had already seen, the couple’s house was more like a space mixed with workshops than a house.

Of course, it’s not unusual for a wizard’s house to be littered with parchments full of experimental tools and magic formulas over time. However, even so, it is a little strange that there is not a small laboratory in one corner of the house. Being a wizard doesn’t make your thirst for magic quest go away just because it’s your home.

“Well, you can’t let a child run around a house full of these lab tools. You can’t just feed your child potato stew all the time. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to spend the night by candlelight, eat potato stew, and have a conversation with the Oh Sun Do-soon couple?”

Esilia was taken aback by Zerpied’s sudden words. Serna also frowned slightly.

“… Hey you, what do you mean by that? Be careful what you say. How many times do you think we’ve become friends for 10 years? We take care of having our children. And who are you to be this and that in our married life? We are still happy enough.”

“Of course, happiness is subjective, and the plan of the second generation is entirely up to the couple. But sometimes, it wouldn’t be bad to imagine a happy future while slicing steak under a nice light bulb.”

While saying that, Zer Pied changed her posture once. As he changed his posture, the loud sound of metal jingling in his arms echoed through the small house. Serna jerked her body once, and the ball tree gulped her throat.

Voltri was startled for a moment, then returned to his usual expression as if nothing had happened. But, glancing at her wife, she was at a loss. Serna thought as she ran her fingers through his hair faster than before.

I am a wizard seeking knowledge. Are you trying to buy me like that with money! Are you going to insult me! … It was too clear and clear to scold. Enough to guess the value of the money. She looked around her house pretending to blink. She was a small house even when she thought of herself.

As the article points out, her and her husband’s main staple was potatoes or potato stew. On days when there was nothing to eat, he went out and brought wild wheat and barley. Now, the taste of the meat has slowly faded.

Certainly, with that amount of money, you might be able to afford a decent laboratory in your home. On days when you don’t want to be separated from your husband, you don’t have to go to the workshop and experiment, but you can get the best of both worlds by winning an experiment with your husband at home at the same time.

And, as the article said, you can drink fine wine with Volley while cutting steak under the wonderful lighting. Candles are not for dispelling the darkness, but only for heightening the atmosphere. They exchanged a glass of such delicious wine and whispered words to each other. Gradually, like the red color of wine, each other’s faces are also red.

Now I whisper not with words, but with my eyes, not with my eyes, but with my breath. The atmosphere of a nice dinner is getting more and more ripe. It’s been a long time since I finished eating the steak that melts in my mouth, and now it’s time to enjoy dessert. Voltri and she get up and move to the dessert area.

When they turn over while sleeping, they are greeted by a large bed that wraps their body in softness, not creaking noise. On the bed, she slowly takes off her pajamas, whispering sweetly to her husband that today’s dessert is me, and presents the truth to the ball tree…… !

“… And this is the most important, and there is one more benefit from helping us,”

“Huh? Mmmmmmm! Big huh… ! Uh, uh… What is that?”

Serna managed to keep her mage’s elegance. Jer Pied said meaningfully as he nodded her head.

“The point is that you can feed the mage tower taffy.”

A kicking laugh broke out between her bright red lips. Serna was grateful for the knight in front of her eyes. That knight, whom she called Huchi, was talking about accepting his offer and at the same time preserving her self-esteem.

“I like that.”

Her young witch threw her gaze at her husband and smiled.

“Okay, I will cooperate.”
