Chapter 14

Mother Mage 014.

The road that goes all the way from the Phoenix Mansion.

After passing that road, the carriage gradually approaches the city.

‘Phoenixian’, the metropolis of Eugracia managed by the Phoenix family.

It was a really affluent street, full of brick and wooden buildings.

It was Eud, whom he saw only in fragments when he was loaded onto the wagon a few weeks ago.

For this reason, he expressed admiration over and over again at the beauty of the city seen through the window of the carriage.

“What do you think! Phoenicians are really beautiful!?”

Tiana stretched out her hand towards the window to show her pride.

Eud nodded and agreed.

When Tiana saw her younger brother like that, she smiled as if it was her job.

When her new sibling is surprised by their family’s city, Tiana is also in a good mood for her.

Next to Tiana, Selena was eating her biscuits.

She was taken care of by the maid of her mansion who had heard Selena join.

Among her maids, she knows Selena’s eating habits, so she always has her carry-on bag ready.

Although she eats like this from time to time, Selena doesn’t gain any weight at all.

Rather, she is a disciplined body that is not suitable for her child.

It’s all because she uses all her calories to swing her sword.

In fact, what Selena likes to eat is her own energy supply.

Since she has a lot of exercise, she requires a lot of food.

In fact, even at dinner, Selena ate more than double her Tiana’s.

Conversely, Eud was the one who ate the least of the three.

Due to the class with Alberto, he had a lot of exercise. However, Wood’s stomach had shrunk considerably because she had eaten poorly over the years.

“Sister, don’t eat alone, get some Eud as well! Always- ugh.”

When Tiana said something, Selena shoved her biscuit into her mouth.

It is an action to block her nagging in advance.

And then she slipped right into Wood’s mouth.

“Ahaha, all three of you really- huh, is that even me?!”

It is also given to Eli Lee, who rode with her to escort.

There was a crackling sound inside her carriage for a while.

Selena demanded a showdown from Ewood, even after she ate yesterday.

Rather than demanding a match simply because of a loss, it seemed like he really wanted to fight more.

It was like a child who finally found a toy she liked. Of course, Eud had never held a toy in his hands in his life.

But Ewood also had an appointment with Tiana, so he couldn’t keep fighting all night long. Selena’s skills are really good, so Eud is also under a lot of pressure to fight back and forth.

Because of this, Eud convinces Selena by recalling what had happened during the day there.

(“Tomorrow Tiana-noona’s outing… If you come with me, I’ll come back and fight you right away. Is it okay, okay?”)

It was because Tiana reacted to Selena’s refusal to accompany her.

Selena then pondered her for a few seconds before she finally nodded her head.

Looking at her face, she wanted to fight right away, but she seemed to agree with her brother’s name.

Of course, on the other hand, it must also be because tomorrow’s outing is “sword-related”.

When Tiana heard about her situation then from Selena, she said, “Huh, huh …… He, did you?” She glanced at Ewood.

Anyway, just before her departure, Tiana grunted at Selena as if she was pouting, but now the two of them are arguing with each other as if they were like that.

A little later, the carriage arrived at its destination.

When the Phoenix driver opens the door, Tiana and Selena jump out.



Eud pauses for a moment, then jumps together.

We arrived at the central square of Phoenician.

Even in a typical city, there were few tall buildings everywhere.

The footpath, paved with many bricks, is filled with many people and carriages.

And on the left and right of the large walkway, there were many shops and individual shops.

It’s just past noon.

Many economic activities are already taking place on this Phoenician street.

When I was first brought to the mansion, I didn’t even know Eud, but it was a really big city.

According to Gareth, phonics is ‘a city within five fingers’.

In other words, there are still four cities that are equal to or higher than this.

If so, how big are those cities?

Even what Eud sees right now is probably only a small part of Phoenician.

Eud, whose world was confined to the underground arena, felt a sensation that was difficult to express in words.

It was probably the first time in his life he felt awe at the greatness.

After talking with the Four Enix coachman, Eli Li came back to her three siblings.

The wagon immediately moved along the road to another place. Later, when the time comes, she is said to come back to pick it up. At least until just before the evening, you can spend freely here.

“Then girls, master, where shall we go first? Tiana-sama, do you have a planned order?”

At Eli Li’s words, Tiana closed her eyes and expressed her concern.

“Um, I need reagents, herbs, and additional tools… Is it better to go to 3rd Avenue first, or should I go to the general market… or…”

It seems that things to live are scattered all over the place. Tiana began to decide the order of the movement in her head.

Then, Selena suddenly strides in a different direction.

She looked around the square with her right hand and was dragging Wood while admiring “Wow……”.

“If it takes a long time, I will go where I want to go. Let’s go, Eud.”

“This sister is real!! Why are you dragging me along again?! And she honestly shouldn’t have to hang out with me in the first place?! I told you to leave!”

“But there are more interesting things here. Your shopping is a little boring.”

“Even if you say it’s fun, it’s a weapon shop!!”

“I’m going to find a pair of boots for me and Eud.”

“I’m going to buy alchemy equipment with Eud!!”

To stop her Selena, Tiana grabs Wood, this time on her captive.

Soon, Wood’s arms were pulled tight as if she had become a scarecrow.

“Ugh, ah ah ah ah ah ah. Me, over there… Put it down, let it go…!”

At the pain of his arms being pulled, Eud delivers a thin scream.

Of course, these two older sisters don’t seem to have time to listen to their younger brother’s warning.

“Both of you really! Master, I’m going to ruin it!”

Eventually, after Eli Li let her two older sisters dry, she managed to tear the Woods apart.

“After all, there is plenty of time. If you’re going to look around, how about rock-paper-scissors?”

Perhaps it was because of the fact that the two of them often fought, Eliri was good at mediating their fights.

At Eliri’s words, Selena and Tiana inflate each other’s cheeks.

“……Then sister, the winner will decide the route.”

“Good. There is nothing else to say.”

Immediately, Selena and Tiana raised their hands upwards.

Prepare rock-paper-scissors with a ready-to-wear expression.

“……”

“……”

Then they both looked at Eud.

“……?”

At the sudden focus of his gaze, Eud alternately looks at Selena and Tiana.

“Master Eud is also asked to participate in the rock, paper, scissors.”

Only then did Eud understand the situation at Eliri’s words.

“Well, it’s fair! Of course I’m going to win, but for now, I’ll give Eud a ticket too!”

“I don’t care either. But even if it’s Dalian, I’m better at rock-paper-scissors. More than Tiana.”

Eud didn’t really care where he went first, but it would make things more complicated if he talked about it here.

So, without arguing, he raises his arm as instructed.

Fortunately, Eud knew the rules of the rock-paper-scissors. In his mind, he recalls the relationship of each hand.

“Then all three…”

As Eliri’s clatter sounded, Selena and Tiana’s fists were clenched.

“Scissors, rocks-”

““Bo!!”” “……”

Above the square of the Poenixian, the three brothers and sisters rock, paper, scissors exploded.

As the head of the Phoenician family and the head of the Phoenician city, Gareth does a lot of work.

During the day, there are many times when you cannot be attached to the mansion, and often go to each partner or business partner.

In particular, small and large encounters between nobles play a large part.

These tasks are not only done by Gareth, but also by Lorona.

Rather than attending meetings directly like Gareth, he is doing the activities in large and small social churches.

Even today, Gareth isn’t one of those nobles – one of the tenth aristocrats, but he’s had meetings with some of the most influential nobles. After finishing the morning work, Gareth was on his way to the guild. The Eugracia Guild Hall was a place quite far from the Poenixian.

It seems that some kind of huge dungeon has occurred in the ‘Velvet Line’, the northern region of Eugracia.

The dungeon currently named by the guild is ‘Tomb Cave’.

The degree of risk and the internal ecosystem are also unknown. Shortly after discovery, an internal investigation has not yet been conducted.

Because of this, the guild and several hunter-holding families had a meeting about the future actions of the dungeon.

Gareth squeezes his gloomy eyes.

Recently, Hunter’s preparations for the expedition also overlapped. For Gareth, these two weeks have been tiring days.

Still, he wasn’t just tired.

What can be enjoyed is thanks to the recent changes among the children.

He said that he would go out with him today, so he unwittingly gave him a lot of pocket money.

When I heard that Selena was going out with me, Gareth was also surprised.

When he heard that Eud had led it, Gareth was impressed with the achievement beyond his imagination.

‘The showdown with Ewood’ was more interesting to the extent that his practice plan was postponed.

Well, if you come all the way here, I just want the children to come and play safely today.

But Gareth’s warm heart did not last long.

“……? Gareth.”

“Well?”

Gareth was checking the documents from time to time.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The driver of Phoenix calls Gareth with a slightly puzzled voice.

“It’s Jeonseo-gu. It must have been sent from the top of Keynes.”

“Keynes?”

With that said, Gareth opened the carriage window and looked outside.

I see a green dove flying with a letter on her leg.

Jeonseo-gu, which sent various shipments, differed in color and species according to each faction or family.

For example, if it’s red, it’s Phoenix. If it’s purple, it’s metric.

As the driver said, the green pigeon is the Jeonseo district managed by Keynes Corporation.

The top of Keynes was a force that was also doing business with Phoenix.

Supplies needed for the expedition, and support from the supporters during the expedition- It is an alliance that occupies a significant portion of Phoenix’s family business.

However, it is very rare to send Jeon Seo-gu to Gareth who is moving like this.

Gareth is a close friend of Soil Keynes, the leader of the top of Keynes. Nevertheless, such an urgent atmosphere is somewhat uncomfortable.

Gareth instinctively recognized that the preamble was unusual.

Extend your arms over the window and let the green spears land on your arms.

Loosen the paper tied to the leg and check its contents.

“…….this.”

Gareth’s expression contorted.

He soon asks the coachman to hurry further.

“Damn, what the hell did you say?”

“Things are not going well.”

“Is it bad…?”

Gareth took his pen out of his arms. He then engraves a “confirmation of receipt” sign on a piece of paper on the other foot of Jeonseo-gu.

By magic, the top of Keynes must have recognized that Gareth himself had now checked the letter.

“This morning…. The company in Eugracia- The chairman of the Barcass company suddenly died.”

“Yeah?!”

The carriage shook for a moment at the unexpected words.

At the driver’s nursery rhyme, the horses make the sound of a nursery rhyme. Hastily calmed it down and the coachman asked Gareth again.

“Sudden death, what is that……!”

“I’m out of my mind, too, I’m a little out of words. It’s a murder, to be exact.”

“Killing?!”

Gareth said as he blows Jeonseo-gu out.

“‘Mother Mage’. It looks like he’s back.”

‘Murder Mage’.

When he heard the name, the driver immediately broke into a cold sweat with goosebumps.
