Chapter 214 : Vadim (5)
Chapter 214 : Vadim (5)
While Lucas was talking, Vadim would nod his head or get angry.
"Right. A lot of things have happened."
Vadim said, putting the last piece of ginger cookie in his mouth.
"So how can I help you?"
The words he had wanted to hear finally came out of Vadim's mouth.
"Please help me open the gate."
"Hmm... a gate."
"Yes. As I said before, I want to open a gate like the one the demons came through. It would be even better if they could live together on this land, but..."
"If that happens, there is a high probability that one of the dragons who has not been able to suppress their anger will cause trouble."
Lucas nodded his head at Vadim's words.
"That's right."
"Right. Then I'll have to see what that gate is first. From what you said, it seems to be made of a holy relic. No matter how much I am, I don't have the power to surpass a god."
But there was no gate open now.
It was when Lucas was about to open his mouth.
"I know that there is no gate now. So guide me to the place where that gate was opened."
Vadim dusted off the cookie crumbs from his hands and got up from his seat.
"...I understand."
It was truly an amazing skill.
No matter how recently the gate had been opened, a lot of time had passed.
'Is he saying he's going to track the mana left there...?'
It was possible to track a place if someone had teleported there just before.
But that was also a story when the opponent who had cast the spell had not erased any traces.
But to track a gate that had been opened and had disappeared a long time ago?
Lucas still couldn't understand.
"Let's go."
As Lucas held out one of his arms, Vadim glared at him and frowned.
"Are you trying to escort me?"
"I'm trying to teleport."
"How absurd. I can just put a bond on you, so just go."
"..."
He couldn't tell how far the difference in magic was.
'To talk about putting a bond on someone so easily.'
Although it was possible on this side, it was a little complicated and was only possible if the opponent agreed.
"I understand."
Lucas, who had nodded his head for now, teleported first.
***
Lucas, who had arrived at a corner of Delladacan, looked around.
It was to see if Vadim had followed him well.
"Is this it?"
"!"
It was when he had looked on both sides and had not yet turned around. As Vadim's voice was heard from behind, Lucas, who was startled, flinched without realizing it.
"You're surprised."
Vadim, who had smirked at Lucas's reaction, bounced his body once as if to tease him.
"..."
He was a character who really made him at a loss for words.
"Hmm. Right. I can feel it."
A small 'shik-shik' sound was heard from Vadim's mouth, who had closed his eyes.
'Is it an ancient language?'
But there was a part that was a little different from the ancient language he knew.
'A curse?'
As he heard a faint sound of an ancient language meaning to curse, Lucas frowned.
"That side seems to be a little more recent."
Vadim slowly moved his steps.
'How on earth is he doing it?'
Lucas tilted his head as he followed him.
When he had felt the magic Vadim had used, it was definitely similar to a search spell.
But he was dying of curiosity as to how he was tracking a magic that had been used a long time ago.
'I'll have to ask him later.'
He couldn't help it, even if his pride was a little hurt.
Because Vadim was not just a little better than him, but a much greater being.
"This is it."
Vadim nodded his head slightly and then began to chant a spell again.
-Pa-seu-seu-seu-seu...
"My goodness."
He couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration.
Because the traces of the spell that had been written on the ground were rising in a thin golden light.
"Tsk. To think that a lowly dragon can't even do this."
Vadim shook his head.
"What are you going to do, living in a place so full of mana?"
Although it was a statement that scratched his pride, Lucas just kept his mouth shut and remained silent.
"Right. As you said, a lot of the gods' relics were used. And other artifacts were also used a lot."
"Yes."
"But it's not to the extent that I can't imitate it. If only a few things are prepared."
At that, Lucas swallowed hard.
'Don't tell me he's asking for the relics the Sirens have...'
Vadim looked at Lucas's serious face and opened his mouth.
"Listen carefully from now on. There are quite a few kinds."
"Yes."
At Vadim's words, Lucas leaned his body forward and took a listening posture.
"A skilled craftsman's..."
Vadim dragged out his words.
"A craftsman's...?"
"Two pumpkin pies and a box of butter cookies. And I'll need some good quality flower tea and the honey that was used in the cookie I ate earlier."
He was so dumbfounded that he was at a loss for words.
"..."
"Hahaha! That's how I'll have the strength to open the gate quickly!"
"I understand."
Although Lucas was completely deflated by Vadim's prank, it was still a relief.
"I'll go and get them right away."
It was when Lucas was about to turn his body and go to get the things Vadim had said.
"Ah! And one more thing."
"...?"
Lucas turned his head, wondering what it was this time.
"The Silver clan lady I mentioned earlier..."
Vadim blushed and scratched his head.
'What a pervert!'
The voice of his heart, which he couldn't say out loud, screamed.
"Although there's a bit of an age difference, what does that matter to us? Hot! Hot! Hot!"
Vadim's belly, as he laughed out loud, jiggled.
"I'll go and get the pumpkin pie first."
Lucas forced a smile and then quickly teleported and disappeared.
'I'll just move the whole pumpkin cookie shop and give it to him!'
***
Vadim's face, as he stood in the place where Lucas had left, was quite serious.
'Hmm...'
Although he had said some nonsense to Lucas, in fact, what he had read was not just the formula of the gate.
'One of the casters is dead.'
Vadim read the aura again carefully.
'The Demon King and the Siren King.'
There were clearly two central casters, but from the aura he felt, it seemed that the Demon King's side was dead.
"Tsk. What a cunning bastard."
Vadim clicked his tongue once and then looked around again.
"Hmm..."
Although it would take some time, it seemed that it would not be difficult to open the gate.
'It's not like I'm going to another dimension.'
A gate to the demon world, which was under the same dimension, would open in a few days.
'The accuracy will be the problem.'
The more people he moved at once, the lower the accuracy would be.
'Shall I go and see?'
Vadim glanced around once and then teleported and disappeared.
***
"Welcome!"
Since it had come to this, Lucas decided to give Vadim a heavenly taste.
'The most delicious place these days is right here.'
An amazing pumpkin pie made with pumpkins that an earth spirit master was said to have grown.
Lucas was now in Divanos, which he had never come to in his life, for this.
"How many pumpkin pies are left?"
Lucas asked as kindly as possible.
"Hmm~ There are still a lot left. How many would you like?"
"Give me all of them."
"...All of them?"
"Yes."
"Uh, um. There are... about over thirty left now."
The clerk confirmed Lucas's words again.
"Yes. Give me all of them."
It was a mentality of 'let's see you eat and die'.
"Um... yes. I understand."
Lucas opened his pocket, took out a gold coin, and handed it to him, saying.
"Please pack them all. I'll come and get them after I've stopped by another place."
"Ah, yep! I understand."
It felt like he was running errands after a long time. No, it felt like it was the first time.
'To think I'm going through all this trouble just to buy food... no, no.'
If it weren't for Vadim, he might have had to kill all the demons.
'Right. This much is fine.'
After thinking that, his steps became much lighter.
'Still, Divanos is a little better.'
Although other places were still a mess, Divanos was relatively undamaged.
Since it was the island at the very bottom, and Divanos was a resort.
'There's no reason to rob a resort.'
Lucas hurried his steps to buy the flower tea for Vadim himself.
"Welcome! It's a fragrant flower petal~!"
The clerk greeted Lucas, shouting the name of the shop loudly.
"I'd like to buy the most luxurious flower tea."
At that, the clerk's eyes began to sparkle.
"The most luxurious, you say?! All the flower teas of our fragrant flower petals are luxurious, but among them, the most! luxurious tea is displayed right here!"
When he looked at the place the clerk was pointing to, he saw various flower teas packaged in luxurious boxes.
"If I may say so about this flower, it is a sweet flower that only grows in Divanos! As the name suggests, it is a very sweet and fragrant tea. If you don't like it too sweet, then with this mint..."
"Give me all of them."
Lucas cut off the clerk's words.
"Oh! Yes. I understand. Then this box of flower tea and the mint..."
"No. Give me all the boxes displayed here."
"A-all of them, you say?"
"Yes."
Lucas nodded his head indifferently and opened his pocket.
'You perverted old dragon... I hope you choke on your tea.'
Lucas took out a gold coin and handed it to him.
"Ah, I understand! Please wait a moment!"
As the clerk quickly began to organize the boxes, Lucas looked outside the shop.
'This place hasn't changed at all.'
The rough floor paved with large stones, and the beach sand stuck in between.
The various smells that came with the warm and humid air made him realize that he was in Divanos.
'That's a shop I haven't seen before.'
Since it had been a long time since he had come to Divanos, old memories began to come to mind.
'Lewin really liked that place.'
Thanks to the tea shop being located on a high hill, the beach below was visible at a glance.
The small bungalows there made him realize once again that this was a resort.
"Sir. The packaging is all done!"
The clerk, who was so fast, quickly packaged the nearly ten boxes of flower tea and held them out to Lucas.
"Thank you."
"Can you carry them?!"
The clerk, who was sweating profusely, quickly reached out his hand to help Lucas.
"It's fine."
As Lucas opened his subspace pocket and neatly put the flower tea boxes in, the clerk's eyes widened.
"My goodness! This is a really amazing item!"
Lucas smiled faintly, closed his pocket, and turned his body.
"You have to take your change!"
At that, the clerk quickly came out and called Lucas to a stop.
"The change is fine."
At that, the clerk stood there with the change in his hand and bowed his head low.
"Thank you! Please come again!!!"
The clerk's loud greeting echoed in the alley, and Lucas, who felt good for some reason, went down the hill.
'Shall I go and see it after a long time?'
As he went down the hill, the feeling of the sand being stepped on was pleasantly transmitted through his feet.
'The smell hasn't changed at all.'
It was a strange thing.
The vast sea seemed to calm his heart.
"Hmm."
Lucas, who had taken a deep breath and had smelled the sea, fixed his gaze on the distant horizon.
"...?"
Just then, something was caught in his eye.
'A person?'
He stared for a long time, wondering if a person had fallen into the water.
"...!"
But just as the figure disappeared into the water, he caught a glimpse of a fish's tail.
"A Siren."
The ones who had disappeared were right here.
