The Regressor and the Blind Saint

Normally you would think so.

You need magic to fly in the sky, and there can be no human who can fly without magic.

Renéro was saying these words based on common sense, and the answer he returned was beyond common sense.

“You can do it.”

Maximilian said. Renee’s head was raised. Albrecht was still stiff.

Maximilian looked at Renee tilting his head and then added an explanation.

“We are developing such a technology. It’s still in the experimental stage, so it’s unstable, but it’s not impossible to use, so don’t worry.”

Vera knew at once what technique Maximilian was talking about.

‘… jumper.’

A portable flying magic tool. Things that will be released to the market with the Crown Prince’s accession in the next four years. It must have been the very object that opened a new horizon in magic engineering.

‘Have you already reached the stage where you can use it?’

It is said to be unstable, but it would be correct to see that it is on track to some extent, given that it is so certain.

Vera’s eyes lit up.

‘It’s definitely possible if it’s that thing.’

You can approach without being caught by Oriac’s magic detection. As Albrecht said, it would be possible to dig up from the bottom and investigate the inside.

“How many people can use it?”

“five. That’s all we have right now.”

five Assuming that he carries Ren with him, he will be able to use the four apostles, Albrecht, and even Count Weishur.

As Vera was making up his mind, Renee swallowed his saliva as they listened to the conversation.

“Hey, isn’t it dangerous? It suddenly breaks down and goes down to the ground… .”

natural concern. In response to the question posed with the intention of at least having a safety device, even though it’s nothing else to fly, Maximilian said in a low-key voice.

“Then I should just leave.”

“… yes?”

“Your brother is saying that strong people who will not get hurt even if they fall should climb up.”

“ah… .”

Albrecht’s further explanation, who suddenly came to his senses.

An awkward smile appeared on Renee’s lips. Inside, the thought that they resembled twins again came to mind.

Can’t you notice the sign? Maximilian continued speaking in the same tone as before.

“I think it will take about two weeks to prepare.”

“Maybe after the festival starts.”

“exactly. Is there anything else I should keep in mind in the meantime?”

Renee continued to think for a moment at the question handed to him, and then continued with a sound of ‘Ah!’.

“There is only one person in Seongguk who knows about Matapju. Because I sent him a letter. I’ll let you know as soon as I get an answer. It might be of some help.”

“Ah, that Trevo or something? The one mentioned by the master of the previous hallway in the hallway.”

It was Albrecht who continued the answer. Albrecht’s head nodded up and down. A smirk flowed from his mouth.

“Certainly, he might know something. Was the attitude of the master who mentioned him a bit suspicious? It was such an obsession that I wondered if it was even love.”

Vera’s expression distorted at the words he heard.

“… At the time, Trevo-sama was only five or six children. And Matapju was over 100 years old at the time.”

“I understand. Does age matter in love? There must be such a love in the world.”

At Albrecht’s answer with a playful smile, Renee trembled.

“… shame.”

Words that came out of my mouth without me knowing.

At that, Albrecht’s expression shimmered.

*

Another week has passed since the visit to Hwangseong.

There have been 0 missing cases so far.

That was enough to point out Matapju as the culprit in the disappearance case.

Renee and the party sat together in the drawing room of the Count’s mansion in the peace that should have been called the eve of the storm and opened Trevor’s letter.

Vera hardened his expression at the amount of letters in the stationery.

“… Ten chapters are more than enough. It seems that Trevor is pointing out something.”

“Can you read me?”

Likewise, Renee’s words with a firm expression on their faces.

Vera then nodded his head up and down and began to read the first page of the letter.

“Sister, I have received your letter well. How surprised I was to receive such a letter. Oh, how are you doing, Saint? The twins are in the midst of a gloomy moment here… .”

drop-.

Vera stopped talking. Renee’s mouth was shut.

“… Vera.”

At Renee’s words, Vera shuffled the letter with a stiff face.

The fourth chapter is where the greeting that started from the first chapter ends, and the long and long Saddam that follows five chapters. , was the last paragraph of the last chapter of the letter.

cuddle-.

The letter he was holding crumpled in Vera’s grasp. Vera’s expression also wrinkled.

It is because the heat soared when I thought of Trevor, who had written a letter with only nine chapters in the introduction and only one paragraph in the body.

If I go back to Seongguk, I think I’ll have to do some beating.

Vera, who had that thought in mind, took a deep breath and read only the conclusion of the letter.

“… When I was in the tower, Master Matap was engrossed in the study of the origins of life and species. From what I’ve heard, it’s probably related to the study. It’s unfortunate. The fact that the Lord Matthew has crossed a line that should not be crossed.”

From https://readwn.com

Origin of life and species. At those words, everyone in the seat remembered the corpse they had seen in the gutter.

The heart attack was consolidating into confirmation.

Did you kidnap people to study the species and make them look like that?

As Renee was about to vent his anger at that thought, Vera read further.

“… For such a secret research, he would probably have used the laboratory on the basement floor of the tower. It is a secret layer that only a very few people, including the Lord of the Tower, know even in the Tower. If you want to investigate, I think you should go straight there.”

There was quite a bit of shocking information.

Renee continued to speak as if chanting at those words.

“… It’s just digging up from the bottom.”

“Yes, I should inform the imperial family. I will tell Count Weishur.”

“Please do that.”

A quick conclusion was reached, and Vera handed a letter to Marie and Rohan, who had been sitting next to them before, and they left the room.

Renee spoke to Vera in the space where the two now met.

“… Ten days left.”

“Yeah, it’s the busiest time for the start of the festival, so there will be fewer people snooping around the gutter. The timing is right.”

Suddenly, Renee felt a choking feeling in her stomach.

It wasn’t the fear of taking risks. It wasn’t even the tension that came from the thought that I could do well.

“Vera.”

“Yes, Madame.”

“I cannot forgive myself for acting alone.”

Worry about Vera.

That was the only reason why I was so clogged up right now.

Vera trembled at Renee’s words, then bowed his head and answered.

“I will keep that in mind.”

“I promise.”

René stretched out her hand. A clenched fist with only the pinky fingers extended.

“I will never jump into anything dangerous without saying anything. If something like that happens, I will definitely tell you.”

don’t go alone I wanted to say that, but Renee knew.

In a moment of real emergency, he himself is of no help. He knew that he would become a stumbling block if a battle was taking place. As a blind man, he would rather help Vera away from the battlefield.

So Renee was making this request.

It’s understandable to drop yourself in a fight, so I ask you to just say something and go.

Vera can pray for Vera if he does. Even so, you might be able to help.

Vera glanced at the small, pure white little finger, and put his little finger over it.

“I promise.”

Vera knew it was his job for Renee to push himself with such a worried look. So Vera hoped that Renee would be at least a little reassured, and he swung his oath with power.

“If I have to run into danger alone, I will definitely speak to the saint before going.”

A golden divinity rose above the woven little finger.

The festival has begun.

The whole system was overcrowded, creating a bustling atmosphere.

The street was full of merchants sitting on pedestals, and in front of it, three or three or five tourists lined up like a swarm of ants. The whole atmosphere is noisy and lively.

However, in the midst of that, there was a place where that atmosphere did not continue, and that is the low-income commoner’s residential district starting from 11th Street.

The 11th to 12th streets were almost unaffected by the festival and had a more peaceful atmosphere than that of normal times. It was because most of the residents went out to see the festival.

It was a good thing for the couple. I was able to move without being noticed by others as much as possible.

slap-.

Muddy water splashed along the footsteps. Renee narrowed her brow at the muddy feeling, then controlled her heart.

This is my second visit to the gutter.

Renee arrived at the place where he was supposed to meet Albrecht and spoke to Albrecht.

“Are you ready?”

“Oh, you came. Now we just have to leave.”

Albrecht smiled and accepted Renee’s words.

Albrecht’s eyes looked at Vera, Rohan, and Marie who had come with Renee.

“It’s solid power. Half of the apostles of the Holy Kingdom are here, so even if there is a fight, it will be more difficult to lose.”

“Ugh, it’s me, why did my husband come alone? There’s nothing I can do to float it.”

Marie’s sassy horse. After that, Vera’s questions followed.

“How are you going to sell the floor? The ground would not be like dirt.”

“There is an excavator. This is also a prototype, but it should be enough to dig a hole large enough for people to come and go.”

Albrecht said so and tapped the machine the size of an adult man he had hidden behind him.

“The letter was well received. After seeing that, my brother and I tried to figure out a possible location for the basement. When I did that, the answer came out easier than I thought.”

Oriac with Albrecht’s fingertips floating in the air. Among them, he pointed to the eastern end where a lot of ground was attached.

“That seems to be the most likely. So I’m trying to dig right there.”

“All right.”

“For now, everyone should wear this. Let me show you how to use it.”

Crack-!

the sound of something snapping together. Vera shifted his gaze to it and raised his eyebrows at the large mechanism hanging from Albrecht’s back.

jumper.

A totality of magical engineering that maximizes the output of the machine itself using only the minimum magic circuit.

That was it.

“It’s like wearing this on your back and using the button on the left shoulder strap to operate it. To change direction is to turn around and do it.”

“understand.”

Saying so, Vera put the jumper on his back and then walked over to Renee.

“Sir, excuse me.”

“Ah yes.”

Vera leaned over, placing one arm behind Renee’s back and the other under his knee, then clasped Renee.

Renee flinched and trembled at the sudden proximity to Vera, then quickly regained consciousness.

It was the idea that there was nothing to think about or a situation to think about.

“Come on, let’s get going.”

shudder-.

ringing again. With Albrecht’s signal, the party started to operate the jumpers.

slight vibrations that occur.

After that, Renee felt the sensation of her body rising into the air.
