The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 270

Chapter 59. Disturbance (4)

6.

Meanwhile, at that time.

When Ulan and Istan were saying goodbye, Perticia, who came to the lodging alone, immediately opened her eyes wide.

“… … yes?”

There is only one reason.

It was because I didn’t really understand what Limeren Lapidis said just now.

She was dazed for a moment with a puzzled look on her face, then looked back at Rimmer and asked.

“No, what does that mean… … .”

“It’s just like I said.”

At that time, Rimmer interrupted.

Rimmer, armed with armor and a sword, looked at Perticia with dry eyes. Then she continued her speech in a businesslike tone.

“I will return to the imperial castle with the princess three hours from now. So, please hurry up and get ready.”

A word like a thunderbolt.

Unlike Rimmer, whose expression hardened, Perticia still looked dumbfounded.

“Why, why? Last time I said, I was definitely going back to the imperial castle around the weekend… … .”

“Things have changed.”

The situation changed this afternoon.

Rimer received the imperial order from his lord, Crown Prince Chartrand.

The plan was to bring Perticia to the imperial castle ahead of the originally planned schedule.

“But this is so sudden… … .”

Perticia bit her lip slightly.

He had a troubled expression, as if he had finally realized the reality. But she couldn’t just be embarrassed, so she shook her head.

This was because I had to inform Ulan and the rest of the group that the schedule had changed.

‘Everyone, including Ulan, knows that I am returning to the Imperial City on the weekend.’

So, if things continue like this, all the plans we made earlier will end up in vain.

In response, Perticia quietly called the spirits so as not to be discovered by Rimer. He was to convey this fact to Ulan.

But I couldn’t.

“… … what?”

Because there was no sign of the spirit.

I couldn’t hear any of the voices of the spirits that were always chattering by my side. Perticia, who realized this fact, muttered in embarrassment.

“Uh, why… … .”

“There is no need to be surprised.”

At that time, Rimmer spoke up.

As if Perticia knew what he was going to do. She narrowed her eyes and held up the black pendant she wore around her neck.

“This is probably why I can’t hear the voices of the spirits.”

“Well, that’s… … ?”

“This is a magic tool I received from Count Demuel Ron Dermore. “They say you can temporarily fool the spirits’ senses.”

There was such a thing in the world?

No, rather, why on earth does Rimmer have something like that?

All kinds of questions swirled around like a whirlpool.

But that wasn’t what mattered right away.

“Eight!”

Perticia hit the ground with all her might and immediately stretched out her hand to Rimmer. She was trying to snatch the magic tool from around her neck.

Of course, it was a futile thing to do.

“Don’t lose your strength for no reason.”

“Uuuuu!”

Rimmer is the Master’s knight.

On the other hand, the current Perticia cannot even handle spirits. She frowned in a contest that she had no way of competing with in the first place.

“Why are you doing this?!”

“This is just in case.”

“Preparation, what on earth… … !”

“Ulaanbaatar.”

A cold voice.

At the same time, Rimmer’s brown eyes flashed a sharp blue color. Afterwards, she revealed the reason why she mentioned Ulan in the first place.

“This is to prevent the barbarian who is close to the princess from getting involved in this matter.”

When she received the royal order, Demuel, who was nearby, handed her a magic tool and gave her a tip.

Beware of Ulan.

If Perticia tries to leave the Academy, what might happen? Rimmer partially agreed with this statement.

‘That man is dangerous.’

I don’t know what he’s thinking, and it’s hard to predict where he’ll go.

Therefore, if Perticia sent a spirit to ask for help, there was a very high possibility that he would readily come to her rescue.

‘therefore… … .’

In order to rule out the dangerous element called Uhlan, Rimer decided to follow Count Dermore’s advice. After finishing her reminiscence, she looked back at her Pertichia and opened her mouth.

“So please hurry up and get ready.”

“Lord Lapidis… … .”

“There is not much time left.”

Rimmer responded calmly and sat down on the chair in the center of the room. So that the power of the magic tool can spread well to the surroundings.

However, Rimmer did not know.

A place where magic tools are not affected.

In the shadows outside the window, something is eavesdropping on all the conversations so far.

7.

It was well past midnight.

After seeing Istan off, Ulan and his party had a brief conversation and returned to the dormitory.

Time was also a problem, and it was because I felt tired because so much had happened today.

“Then see you tomorrow.”

“Yes, rest well, Ulan too.”

After saying a short goodbye.

The three girls walked towards the front door of the girls’ dormitory. But then, Ulan, who had just said goodbye, spoke again.

“Wait a moment.”

A word that came out of nowhere.

At this, the three girls, including Noah, naturally stopped in their tracks and looked back.

“Yes?”

“why? what’s the matter?”

Ibella and Delia asked curiously, but Ulan was not talking to them.

Because from the moment he first muttered, he was staring into empty space.

“Say them one by one.”

Ulan’s gaze was directed towards the clusters of lights that only he could see.

These are the spirits of Perticia.

The spirits that appeared out of nowhere chattered without hiding their nervousness.

『It’s a big deal! Big trouble!』

『I can’t get close to Perticia!』

You can’t approach me?

What does that mean?

Ulan tilted his head and asked back. Then the spirits responded again.

“I don’t know. I can’t smell it.』

『I know it’s definitely inside… … .』

『I can’t find the exact location!』

However, all that came back was an answer whose context was still unknown. At the time, she was getting a headache from the chattering so loudly that it made her head ring.

Noah spoke up.

“What happen?”

“Umm, that’s… … .”

In response, Ulan said that he was talking with spirits and relayed everything he had heard from them without leaving out a single detail.

After a while, Noah figured out what the spirits were trying to say.

“So, to sum it up, I know where Tisha is, but I can’t feel her presence.”

“Oh, they say so.”

Noah’s summary was correct.

Because the spirits who were making a fuss all answered yes. And then, Bella, who had been listening to her conversation, opened her mouth with a puzzled look on her face.

“But is it possible to suddenly do that?”

When we headed to the capital together in the morning.

Until then, Perticia had communicated with spirits and had conversations with them. But can something like this happen in less than a day?

As soon as Ibella’s questions were over, Delia came up with a guess.

“Could it be that he used a magic tool?”

“what? If it’s a magic tool… … .”

“For example, something like a magic tool that weakens the spirit’s power.”

Immediately after Delia’s answer.

Noah was lost in thought for a moment and shook his head with a serious expression.

“It certainly could be.”

“… … really?”

“Really, there is such a thing?”

Ibella looks surprised.

Delia, who had made a guess afterward, also looked surprised. To be honest, it was something she just said once.

Meanwhile, Noah nodded.

“Yes, among the magic tools possessed by the Magic Tower, there was one similar to the one Delia just mentioned.”

When playing as Perticia in the original.

Immediately after joining the group of warriors as a bard, she happened to visit a magic tower and saw a magic tool with similar abilities.

‘Pendant of magic scent.’

This magic tool in the form of a necklace emits a terrible odor that disturbs the senses of spirits at a radius of 20 steps around the owner.

Noah, who remembered this, explained Ma Hyang’s pendant to the group, including Ulan.

“Really, there was something like that.”

“Anyway, who would do that…” … .”

Delia reacts with curiosity and Ibella has doubts. And Ulan followed behind the two girls, her eyes flashing fiercely.

“There is only one culprit.”

Limer Yen Lapidis.

He is the one who called Perticia.

Above all, for the Marquis Lapidis family, it wasn’t that difficult to contact the magic tower and receive magic tools.

‘The only thing to note here is… … .’

How was Rimmer able to bring Mahyang’s pendant out? This is because special procedures are required to borrow magic tools stored in the Magic Tower.

‘I must know the name of the magic tool.’

Only when you know the exact name and effect of the magic tool you wish to borrow will the Magic Tower lend you the magic tool.

And only the wizards belonging to the Magic Tower know about the list of magic tools.

In other words, if you want to borrow a magic tool, you must get help from a magician belonging to the Magic Tower.

When selecting candidates based on what was mentioned above, there is only one person who immediately comes to mind.

‘… … ‘Earl of Dermore.’

A man who is currently Chartrand’s close associate.

He was a magician belonging to the Magic Tower and is believed to be collaborating with the Abyss worshipers and further connected with the Lord of the Abyss.

So, he would have already obtained the magic tool that can suppress Perticia’s power.

“Well then, what should we do?”

“Shouldn’t we go now?”

Meanwhile, Delia and Ibella looked concerned as if they understood the seriousness of the situation.

But at that moment.

Noah shook his head.

“That’s not allowed.”

“what? why?”

“If you do something conspicuous before you even start planning, you will be the first to arouse suspicion after the kidnapping is successful.”

Noah’s words were a valid answer.

Delia also nodded as if she had heard it. On the contrary, she retorted, saying, “Isn’t it time for Bella to question something like that?”

“But what if I go back earlier than expected?”

“Maybe that will happen… … .”

Noah was about to say that it probably wouldn’t happen, but then closed his mouth. When I thought about it, Ibella had a point.

The person who called Perticia to the imperial castle was none other than Crown Prince Chartrand. So, it was a moment of conflict.

“Then I will come back.”

Suddenly Ulan stood up from his seat.

He turned toward Perticia’s quarters as if he were about to leave at any moment.

“If you keep your presence hidden and watch from outside the opponent’s territory, you won’t be caught.”

Of course that would be the case.

Currently, Ulan has reached a level where he is stronger than any other master in the empire. Rimmer will never detect Ulan’s presence.

‘however… … .’

I feel uneasy for some reason.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt the surveillance that Iris had mentioned. So, at the moment she hesitated to answer.

“No, you don’t need to.”

Suddenly a low voice was heard.

A voice that is somehow familiar. So, when I was looking around to find the place where the voice came from, Ulan’s shadow suddenly stirred.

Soon, a small black figure suddenly emerged from within and took shape.

“Because I saw everything that happened there from beginning to end.”

A being transformed into a small girl.

It was the Spirit of the Abyss who smiled in repentance on the face of young Perticia.
