: Greed (1)
It was the day I left Saint-Dermain.
Before that, I had a place to go.
"Are you all packed?"
"Do you have any luggage? Anyway, I put it in a space."
"That is also true. Then let's go. Ars Magnae."
Ars Magna.
A manastone shop run by the greatest alchemist, Kiriel.
Siegfried decided to buy something cheap from Kiriel on the condition that he obtains the 'Heart of the Shadow Sheep' from the Gehena auction house.
And Jamie, too, signed a soul contract to let Kiriel enter the world of shadows in exchange for obtaining 'All Might'.
"By the way, Confucius."
On the way to Ars Magna, Siegfried asked in an indifferent voice.
"Then what was that stone?"
I didn't ask last night, so I just wanted to be buried forever, but again, I didn't ask right away, but remembered.
After all, there was no way the Archmage's memory was so bad that he missed one such trivial (?).
"Is that the power of stone when you let Darius's attack flow?"
"I can't fool the elder's eyes."
Absolutely. Ever since then, I've been an archmage. So, what the hell is that stone? I was going to ask you yesterday, but I didn't ask because I thought it would break the mood."
It seems that Siegfried was taking care of himself.
"It doesn't matter."
"It wasn't a big deal, but the power of the stone was absurd."
It was certainly unreasonable to dismiss 'All Might', which had full immunity to physical damage, as nothing.
"That's right. I was lucky."
"How lucky must Confucius be to get an item from a secret auction?"
"I also made a deal with Kiriel-sama. haha.
Seeing Jamie talking insignificantly, Siegfried said, 'Ah! That's right!'
" I think I need some explanation."
Jamie recounted everything from what had happened on the street at night to the details of his soul contract with Kiriel, leaving only the story of the past.
I was going to meet Kiriel soon, so I couldn't hide it.
"Soul Contract?!"
Ah. Please do not ask about the contract details. You know I can't speak.
If you make a soul contract, you cannot disclose the contents to anyone except the person involved. It was a strong non-disclosure clause that existed because each other's souls were at stake.
Even Siegfried could not easily ask because of that.
"Are you crazy?"
"It's not difficult for me, so I signed a contract, so don't worry."
" Worrying and sleeping, there is nothing a child can't really do."
Siegfried shook his head in disbelief.
Jamie couldn't help but laugh inwardly at that reaction.
'Who does this little guy keep saying he's a kid?'
Although it looks like a child on the outside, the soul inside it has transcended tens of thousands of years and has descended on this earth again.
Siegfried's reaction had to be cute.
Jamie heard Siegfried in one ear and let it out in the other.
"Are you listening?"
"I'll be more careful next time."
"Not caution, don't do it! Even so, I am the guardian right now, so please tell me. I know?
Yes Yes. I will."
anyway ."
Siegfried's nagging continued until he reached Ars Magna.
* * *
"Confucius, that is the problem. I'm overconfident of myself. I know you have great abilities, but no matter how much you set your eyes on that stone."
I want to cover my ears.
At first, I was listening cutely, but now I wondered if my eardrum was going to rupture.
Was Siegfried like this?
'I thought it was going to pass... .'
Siegfried was a persistent person in this regard.
There is a way to stop, but he emphasized and repeated the same words over and over again.
The fact that an eight-year-old made a soul contract would be a natural reaction, but Jamie was deeply regretting telling the truth.
after. For today, that's all.
"Oh, what about today?"
"I will teach Confucius common sense until he reaches the magical realm. Please be prepared."
Jamie had to cry.
Siegfried was a very wretched man. At least it was for Jamie.
"Stop going in."
When Siegfried opened the door of Ars Magna, a musty musty stinged the tip of his nose.
Jamie manipulated the air to keep the smell from reaching his nose.
"Kiriel. I brought things."
As if waiting for those words, Kiriel appeared from the air sitting on a large crystal ball.
She said, looking at Siegfried and Jamie alternately.
"Did you both do a good job?"
"Before that, Kiriel-sama was too much."
"Am I too much?"
"Confucius is not like a child, but he is an 8-year-old. Even if you were offered a soul pact, you should have turned it down."
"Is that kid a kid? day after day. Siegfried, you little bastard. Since when was the wizard who reached the end of class 6 a child?"
Siegfried furrowed his eyebrows.
"Magic isn't everything."
"That word is stupid. A wizard is one who seeks wisdom. Since when has magic been solved simply by talent?"
Magic is the product of all kinds of intertwined interests.
What was contained in it was not something that could be learned simply by having a good brain and excellent mana sensitivity.
When everything came together in a complex way, it could be called 'magical talent'.
"But you're only bound by your age?"
that's ."
"Siegfried. Shouldn't we be substituted for your childhood right now?
Siegfried kept his mouth shut and looked at Kiriel with fearful eyes. Kiriel just smiled and caught his gaze.
Then he glanced at Jamie and said.
child. It looks like this guy cares a lot about you."
Kiriel has been dealing with Siegfried for about five years. But I couldn't figure it out. He was the kind of person who always had a bright face and hid himself.
He has always been hiding his emotions and acting like water. But now, it's something I've never seen before with Jamie.
Does that mean that Jamie is important to Siegfried? It must have been a while since we actually met, but is there something special about Jamie?
'Well. Just thinking about that bold face... .'
He came here two days ago and proudly offered the contract of the soul.
"Anyway, did you bring something?"
" Before that, get this."
Siegfried pulled out a blank check in a slightly annoyed tone.
It was a check that Kiriel had given me two days ago to use when he came to retrieve the heart of the Shadow Lamb.
"Why not? Couldn't you find something?
"Somehow, I got it for free."
Because it just happened yesterday, Kiriel didn't even know what was going on.
With her unfamiliar face, Siegfried handed him a blank check and the heart of the Shadow Sheep.
"You've been buying things without spending any money, so will you just hand over the things you give me?"
Siegfried nailed it, saying that if he asked for more money, it would be a robbery.
Kiriel had no intention of asking for money. It was the woman who thought at least 50 million, or at most 200 million gold.
Of course, there was nothing that Siegfried couldn't do if he raised the value of the things he wanted.
Because even finding it was like picking stars in the sky.
But I decided not to.
It wasn't the money, and Siegfried was a good guy.
wait.
Kiriel was absent for a moment.
The two men, Siegfried, sighed deeply and said to Jamie.
"That old woman has a point."
right?
"But that doesn't mean Confucius was good."
" I know."
"Actually, it doesn't make any sense to teach a 6th class wizard like this and that."
Aside from being young, Kiriel was right.
He is a wizard. He was also a 6th-class high-ranking wizard who would have no problem taking on the command of a magic corps.
I just thought too young. It was right to treat him as a full-fledged wizard.
Siegfried admitted my mistake.
"Still, we should not make the soul contract as much as possible. If it had been the wrong contract, it would have been a disaster."
"I'll be careful."
Jamie nodded vigorously, and only then did Siegfried's expression soften.
'thank God. Kiriel did what he did.'
Jamie sighed in relief at the thought of not being nagging until she reached the realm of magic.
After a while, Kiriel appeared with a jewelry box.
I could feel a mysterious magic flowing through it.
"Is that?"
"Finally here."
Siegfried spoke in a rare, excited voice.
"Take it."
As Kiriel held out the jewel box, Siegfried swallowed his saliva and took it carefully.
Slowly opening the box, a black brilliance began to come out.
'Black Mana?!'
no.
They were the same color, but had completely different properties.
Siegfried slowly pulled out what was in the jewelry box.
It was stone. To be precise, a rough, rough stone wrapped around the shiny black crystal.
It had a form similar to that of All Might, but it was not processed at all.
is a gemstone I don't know what kind of gem it is, but the energy felt from the black crystal was far from ordinary.
"What is it?"
"You must have heard of Confucius."
Siegfried's voice trembled slightly.
"Do you know of an asteroid that crosses the continent every 100 years?"
"Aion. Are you talking about Aion?"
Yes. Aion."
There are asteroids that cross the continent from southwest to northeast every 100 years.
Its existence was first discovered 200 years ago, and all kinds of analysis books were published as to whether it was a topic of discussion at the time.
This is because many records have been found of asteroid observations on similar dates from thousands of years ago.
But at first, I was just interested in it. It became a hot topic, but it was only at the level of a strange story.
The problem was after that.
160 years ago, a meteorite that fell from that asteroid was discovered by someone. There have been many meteorites, but they have a very special power.
"It's called Eternal Mana."
Although the meteorite contained only a portion of the black crystal, the mana of about two thousand times the mana of nature in the same area was compressed.
Therefore, people called the mana contained in the black crystal 'eternal mana', and the asteroid that crosses the continent with a cycle of 100 years began to be called 'Aion (eternity)'.
"It was three years ago. Aion appeared. It disappeared in an instant, but people expected that the meteorite would have fallen again this time, and they went looking for it everywhere."
Siegfried lifted the 'Fragment of Aion' up and reflected it in the light. The black crystal was pitch black as it had no intention of penetrating even a single point of light.
"I've been running for three years, but I haven't been able to find it. Then I got a call from Kiriel-sama."
"So thank me more, sweetheart."
" You paid the price."
"Do you really think that the Heart of the Shadow Lamb can be compared to the Shards of Aion?"
" ."
Siegfried was silent.
Because she was right.
"Where are you going to use it?"
"There is something I want to do."
"What?"
ratio. wheat.
Siegfried raised his index finger to his lips as if not to pay attention.
Jamie was nauseous and had a dry mouth. I'll take a look at it later when I get a chance.
'Because I wouldn't do anything ordinary with something like that.'
"You stop going."
As Jamie was thinking to himself, Kiriel drove Siegfried out.
"It's time for me and this little guest."
" If I ask what the contract is, you won't tell me, will you?
"You're talking nonsense. Get out!"
Siegfried clicked his tongue and walked out. Then he spoke telepathically to Jamie.
-If something happens, send a signal.
I know what you're worried about, but that's not going to happen.
As the door closed, Kiriel swung her staff and locked the door firmly. Her eyes changed.
"It's time to keep your promise."
The heart of a shadow sheep floating in the air flew towards Jamie.
Jamie saw it and said with a smile.
"Before that."
"Do you have anything to say?"
"That's so ."
When he took a blank check from his bosom, Kiriel's expression distorted.
"I also got things for free. This, should we trade again?"
Jamie smiled broadly like a child.

Jamie sighed in relief at the thought of not being nagging until she reached the realm of magic. After a while, Kiriel appeared with a jewelry box. I could feel a mysterious magic flowing through it. "Is that?" "Finally here." Siegfried spoke in a rare, excited voice. "Take it." As Kiriel held out the jewel box, Siegfried swallowed his saliva and took it carefully. Slowly opening the box, a black brilliance began to come out. 'Black Mana?!' no. They were the same color, but had completely different properties. Siegfried slowly pulled out what was in the jewelry box. It was stone. To be precise, a rough, rough stone wrapped around the shiny black crystal. It had a form similar to that of All Might, but it was not processed at all. is a gemstone I don't know what kind of gem it is, but the energy felt from the black crystal was far from ordinary. "What is it?" "You must have heard of Confucius." Siegfried's voice trembled slightly. "Do you know of an asteroid that crosses the continent every 100 years?" "Aion. Are you talking about Aion?" Yes. Aion." There are asteroids that cross the continent from southwest to northeast every 100 years. Its existence was first discovered 200 years ago, and all kinds of analysis books were published as to whether it was a topic of discussion at the time. This is because many records have been found of asteroid observations on similar dates from thousands of years ago. But at first, I was just interested in it. It became a hot topic, but it was only at the level of a strange story. The problem was after that. 160 years ago, a meteorite that fell from that asteroid was discovered by someone. There have been many meteorites, but they have a very special power. "It's called Eternal Mana." Although the meteorite contained only a portion of the black crystal, the mana of about two thousand times the mana of nature in the same area was compressed. Therefore, people called the mana contained in the black crystal 'eternal mana', and the asteroid that crosses the continent with a cycle of 100 years began to be called 'Aion eternity'. "It was three years ago. Aion appeared. It disappeared in an instant, but people expected that the meteorite would have fallen again this time, and they went looking for it everywhere." Siegfried lifted the 'Fragment of Aion' up and reflected it in the light. The black crystal was pitch black as it had no intention of penetrating even a single point of light. "I've been running for three years, but I haven't been able to find it. Then I got a call from Kiriel-sama." "So thank me more, sweetheart." " You paid the price." "Do you really think that the Heart of the Shadow Lamb can be compared to the Shards of Aion?" " ." Siegfried was silent. Because she was right. "Where are you going to use it?" "There is something I want to do." "What?" ratio. wheat. Siegfried raised his index finger to his lips as if not to pay attention. Jamie was nauseous and had a dry mouth. I'll take a look at it later when I get a chance. 'Because I wouldn't do anything ordinary with something like that.' "You stop going." As Jamie was thinking to himself, Kiriel drove Siegfried out. "It's time for me and this little guest." " If I ask what the contract is, you won't tell me, will you? "You're talking nonsense. Get out!" Siegfried clicked his tongue and walked out. Then he spoke telepathically to Jamie. -If something happens, send a signal. I know what you're worried about, but that's not going to happen. As the door closed, Kiriel swung her staff and locked the door firmly. Her eyes changed. "It's time to keep your promise." The heart of a shadow sheep floating in the air flew towards Jamie. Jamie saw it and said with a smile. "Before that." "Do you have anything to say?" "That's so ." When he took a blank check from his bosom, Kiriel's expression distorted. "I also got things for free. This, should we trade again?" Jamie smiled broadly like a child. - Continued on next episode -
