Retired Hero Wants To Sleep

Mission No.4 Reunion (16)

Airship Dvahur and Magic Marks. Started with these two things, he had no time to listen to anything else because of the question that popped into his head, but Balt suddenly came to his senses at a word from Zelana that passed by.

“… Wizards from the Duchy and Stett Kingdom are missing?”

“I only identified about 100 people.”

Ewald put on an expression of bewilderment.

“What if I say that now?”

Zelena frowned slightly.

“Because we also recently found out.”

“When did you start disappearing?”

Zelena tilted her head.

“From the time Dvahur started maneuvering.”

Ewald’s face was covered with irritation.

Zelena opened her mouth again to Ewald.

“It’s already a well-known story that Dvahur has rebooted. That’s why I started investigating.”

“… Why are you so interested in other people’s things?”

“That Schheim must be a bit of a hot potato. Once in the principality…”

“Know. I heard crazy guys invaded the Empire?”

Zelena nodded her head.

“After that happened in the Empire, each country started preparing countermeasures against Shuheim. As for countermeasures, there’s nothing I can do other than detect the magic generated when Schheim starts.”

Ewald slightly furrowed his eyebrows at Zelena’s words.

“The magic that occurs when Schheim activates?”

“Probably þota vél, or propulsion magic.”

From noble mtl dot com

Pionir kindly added an explanation.

Upon hearing the magic name, Ebalt nodded.

“But… Because Schheim moves with that magic.”

But Ewald, troubled by something, turned to Fionir.

“By the way, is a magic that can detect a specific magic newly developed?”

This is Ewald, who slept well for 27 years.

Ewald’s all-in attack magic and learning magic must have helped, but at least within the scope of Ewald’s knowledge, there was no magic that could detect specific magic.

The magic he cast on Dvahur, who was running away from Gent Vihi Toum, was openly an alarm magic, so he was only able to find out the direction by using the detection magic.

However, at Ewald’s dazed expression, Fiornir lightly nodded.

“It’s possible.”

“… How?”

“There is magic that measures the magic’s own wavelength.”

“… Wow!”

Ewald expressed genuine admiration.

“Hey, isn’t that something that can detect not only certain magic, but also certain magicians?”

This time, a look of genuine admiration appeared on Pionir’s face.

“Okay!”

Zelena, who had just shut up and listened to the conversation between the magician and the wizard, made a frustrated expression.

“Explain so I can understand.”

“Each magic has its own mana wavelength. The fact that there is magic that can detect that wavelength means that you can search for specific magic.”

Ebalt, with a slightly excited expression, continued his words.

“Just as each magic has its own mana wavelength, each person has a different mana wavelength. So what kind of person’s mana wavelength, bio pattern should I say? If we design magic to measure it, then we can find the person who casts it, wherever it is.”

“… It’s a fairly novel agency, isn’t it?”

“It’s not at the level of an entertainment agency. In this way, it is easy if you manipulate the magic circle or magic mark installed by a magician to detect the magician’s unique wavelength in addition to the magical mana wavelength…”

Ewald’s mouth stopped. Zelena narrowed her brow slightly as she accepted Ewald’s words.

“Easy?”

“sh*t.”

With his face blown hard and his mouth wide open, Balt came up with a hypothesis he hates to imagine.

“There is a safety device in Dvahur that has my biometric pattern embedded in it… My mana patterns are still embedded in the magic tokens I installed in Cotrunuvo…”

This time, Fionir’s face hardened.

And Ewald spat out a voice that crawled a lot.

“You mean I can build a tracking device that can find me wherever I am on the continent.”

“Would you like to make a tracking device or something that can find you and use it?”

Zelena looked at Ewald with an expression of worrying for nothing.

But Ewald gritted her teeth as she couldn’t help but feel chills run down her spine.

‘Beelzedeus’ is sealed in Ewald’s body.

* * *

Ewald quickly expanded his thinking.

Someone stole his Dvahur.

Another person stole the magic token containing the magic circle that he installed 30 years ago.

Ewald’s unique magic is engraved on Dvahur and the magic mark.

According to Pionir’s explanation, it is possible to create an object that can measure a specific magic wavelength, and in theory, with that object, you can find a specific magic wavelength, in other words, ‘the person who cast the magic’.

In other words, if you get Dvahur and the magic token, you can make an item that can find Ebalt.

Stealing Dvahur could have been conceded a hundred times and thought Dvahur itself was the target, but there was no reason to steal Ewald’s magic token in Cotrunuvo, no matter how different he thought about it.

Because that magic was only magic that completely hardened the terrain and made it impossible to move.

Therefore, it should be seen that the magic tokens in Cotrunuvo were taken to analyze Ewald’s magic wavelength.

Other than that, no other possibility came to mind.

They searched the caves of Cotrunuvo, but only traces of everything that had been used in crazy black magic experiments in the past were destroyed.

If so, it wasn’t an attack to use the results of that experiment.

The intention of the person who stole the magic token was clear.

It was to make a magic tool to track Ebalt.

At this point, Ewald’s annoyance began to rise.

‘Why are some guys looking for me?’

There was too much to chew on. But after shaking his head once, Balt began ruling out the slim possibilities.

‘Money transaction.’

It seems not. I’ve borrowed a lot, but I’ve never borrowed.

‘Those who suffered badly.’

It is also weak. It’s because they’re jojin guys who put in the reasons for each item in a fair way. Under Ewald’s standards, there are no such brutally rough-hewn guys.

‘The Marquis Schröter?’

Marquis Uwe Schroeder is not a guy with such a large scale.

More than anything,

‘Among those who hold a grudge against me, are there any who hold grudge against me for over 27 years?’

Not much. If so, what about Zelena? However, Zelena herself forgave Ewald.

After waking up, even if you try to find the new jojin guys, there is no face that comes to mind except Marquis Schröter.

If so, there are only two ways someone is looking for Ewald.

‘Those who know I’ve woken up and want to ask for something or use it.’

The former assumption is the case with Kasper. However, the latter assumption is not very realistic, because there will be no humans in Middle Earth who are crazy enough to use Ewald.

Thus, the assumptions that soon emerged began to make Ewald deeply uncomfortable.

‘… They must be the ones trying to resurrect Beelzedeus.’

Here is the word ‘Evil’.

Jasquiat and his crew. Even Jaskia met directly in the principality.

But Ewald tilted his head again.

Do the Jasquias know that Beelzedeus was sealed by Ewald?

I can count on ten fingers those who know that Beelzedeus is sealed away by Ewald. Most of them are comrades who went on adventures together in the past.

At least, among the crew, only Eccrine knows about the sealing of Beelzedeus.

After thinking this far, Ewald let out an annoyance.

“Oh, I don’t know! Come find me!”

The crew’s attention was focused on Ewald, who was immersed in thought alone and then burst into anger.

However, as always, the crew, who judged that they would be freed by themselves if left alone, silently took their steps.

* * *

“Where the hell did you get this from?”

“I got it without difficulty. I can’t tell you where it is.”

Felix smiled and answered Yannick.

But beneath that smile was a pale pale face.

The wound he received at Cotru Nouveau was eating away at Felix’s life.

Yanik, unaware of this, tilts his head and examines Ewald’s magic signs here and there.

“Is that enough?”

“Of course. I should be able to finish it by tomorrow morning.”

Only then did Felix’s face light up.

The magic device that can track Ebalt is completed.

If you find Ewald through it…

A small cruelty flashed across Felix’s face.

“Kitsuka-sama.”

Lafon, who silently approached Ewald, opened his mouth like a ghost.

Ewald was startled involuntarily because it was such an unexpected movement, but he opened his mouth with a smile without trying to express it.

“Just call me Ewald. What are you doing?”

“I don’t think it’s something I carelessly get involved in, but what are you so worried about?”

“… Did you notice it?”

“Of course not, mister.”

Before I knew it, the crews who had gathered around Ewald began to surround Ewald.

Did mold grow on the combat rations you ate for dinner?

Ewald, who suddenly has no idea why he is doing this, has a puzzled expression.

Of course, Ewald, who was so deep in his thoughts that he couldn’t afford to look around, didn’t know that Zelena had been wandering among the crew and reporting that “Ewald seems to be worrying too much.”

Surrounded by the crew in an instant, Ewald frowned slightly, but when he turned around behind the crew and confirmed that Zelena was pacing around, he soon changed his expression to a wry smile.

“If you have any concerns, how about sharing them, Mr. Seo?”

“I won’t be of much help, but I will help, Captain.”

Ekryn and Fionir?

‘… How are you?’

“That’s right, chief. It doesn’t feel very good to treat us like nobody.”

“That’s right.”

Even Adele comes in after arguing.

Elif, as always, was crying with a frightened expression on her face, and Shupea slumped in her seat while uttering a small swear word.

“Let’s decide and go. If I think about it alone, will it only cause more hair loss?”

With a small smile on her lips, Shupea took a deep breath.

“Don’t suffer alone like that even if you’re not a pioneer.”

“That’s right, that’s right, Master. Did Master seal any Beelzedeus? Isn’t it?”

A hollow laugh erupted from the left.

However, Ewald and Ekryn stiffened at Usbel’s joke.

“… To?”

And Usbel found Eccrine raising her sword at him.

“Stop, Ekryn.”

“This woman is a demon, Mr. Seo.”

“Know. So stop.”

The smiles disappeared from the faces of the crew members who had been laughing aimlessly.

It was at the same time that the youthful look on Usbel’s face disappeared as he brought up her story to make her laugh.

“… Master, Master, why is that woman doing that to me now? Why are you like this?”

Ewald sighed with a completely frozen face.

Someday I’ll have to say it, but I didn’t like it to be revealed in this way. However, since Ekryn reacted, he had to tell the truth.

“I won’t tell you twice, so everyone listen carefully.”

Ewald opened his mouth without hesitation.

“Beelzedeus is sealed within me.”

Except for Eccrine, the faces of all the members hardened.

“And in the next two and a half years, if I survive, Beelzedeus will be annihilated.”

Ewald continued his words.

“But if I die in the meantime, Belzedeus will be released.”

Pionir’s trembling face turned to Ewald.

“So I cannot die until then.”

Ewald’s bombshell declaration came to an end.

It was then. Ewald felt Uth Bell, who was sitting on her back, gripping her clothes tightly.

“… Usbel?”

At that moment, Usbel’s eyes shone bright yellow.
