Chapter 173 - The Mesmerized Crowd

 

“Miss, I heard you drank with the lady at the ball. It looks like she offered you a job on that occasion, but what we do here is not suitable for someone like you,” Nak said.

“Don’t you trust the lady’s eye, Mr. Naham?” Azriel asked.

“The lady is an outstanding person, but she’s not a wizard. I don’t know how you convinced her, but if you take a job that’s beyond your capabilities…”

Realizing that palpations were naturally used by ordinary wizards, Azriel’s anger subsided. She even felt slightly sorry as she unknowingly ignored him. While he was talking, Azriel rolled up her robe sleeve. She held out her wrist. “Try it, Mr. Naham.”

“…I’m saying this because I genuinely feel bad and worry about you, young lady… What?” surprised by her remark, he asked.

“Try a palpation on me,” Azriel replied.

Nak frowned and sighed showily. Then, he grabbed her wrist. “I guess you must have quite a large mana capacity, but no matter… how much—” He could not finish his sentence. He blankly looked down at her wrist and forced out words. “What the… What’s this?”

“I assume you understand now,” Azriel said, taking her wrist back.

Nak stared at her with a dumbfounded face. “There’s no way.”

Leaving him as he was, Azriel turned to the map. It was marked here and there. They seemed to be the targets that the Topaz Guild was sponsoring.

‘It’ll take some time to visit them individually. Hmm, as I thought, it’ll work better to hand out portable relics than to install one on land…’

“You!”

As she was looking into the map, Nak grabbed Azriel’s shoulder. His face pale, he yelled, “Wh-who are you?”

“You already know. I am Azriel Esthera, a wizard,” she said.

“Th-that’s… I can’t believe it. I can’t. I couldn’t feel the end. Your mana, it had no end!” he screamed.

“There is. Do you want to check again?” Azriel said, holding out her wrist again. Nak grasped her wrist with a quivering hand. Soon, he faltered and stepped back, groaning. “Y-y-you, what are you?”

“I said I’m a wizard,” she replied.

“…”

Nak rubbed his face roughly with his hands. Azriel focused on the map again. Roughly figuring out the numbers, she looked back at him and said, “Can I borrow some paper and a pen?”

Nak vacantly nodded.

Azriel quickly wrote down a list of necessary things and handed it to him. “I need these things. It’d be great if you could get them as soon as possible. And, umm, is there a wide and empty space here?”

“A wide space? I can figure something out if I have to…” he said.

“If the necessary things arrive, you can put them there and contact me. I am staying in the underground tower.”

“The underground tower…? You are a member of the Aurora Society, umm, ma’am?”

“Yes, I am. Well then, I’ll be waiting for your contact, Mr. Naham.” She courteously bowed to him and left the room. Nak watched her leave with a soulless face.

Azriel stopped by a store before returning to the underground tower. Marthi was still following her from behind in an invisible state.

“Which one do you like?” she asked in a very quiet voice so that the owner of the store would not hear her. She pointed at a variety of pendants.

Confused, Marthi whispered, “Among these?”

“Yes. I’m going to make you an invisibility relic with the one you like,” she answered.

Marthi blinked and froze for a while, flying around in front of the pendants. Then, he put his translucent front paw on one of the pendants. “I like this one.”

“All right. Then, I’ll make it with this one,” she said.

The pendant was made with an inch-long, round, and flat gold plate, and there were small crystals sprinkled on it like a galaxy spread across the night sky. As soon as Azriel returned to her room in the underground tower, she got to work. The pendant was wrapped in golden light, floating inside her hand. Azriel lowered her eyes and focused. Stars formed a complex pattern and swirled around the pendant. A tremendous amount of mana was poured into it.
