Chapter 329 - Episode Twenty-Nine - Old Pen's Progress (1)

The next day, I was in command of Lark’s alchemist division.

I gathered the members of the division in a hall near the inn and gave them instructions.

I ask them to report to me as the process progresses.

The members of the alchemist division are sometimes lax in their work, and sometimes they make mistakes in areas that I thought they would understand.

Once, the former deputy leader, Rinoa (who has been replaced by Altamir), whom I had high hopes for personally, made a mistake in the magic formula to be engraved on the wooden idol parts, and unexpectedly instructed the rest of the group in the same direction, thus wasting half a day of work.

At that time, based on the magic theory of the great wizard Moses, there was only one way to go, so why did you take a different interpretation, and why did you use the Silna magic formula for the parallel processing of the magic circle, it is obvious that the magic formula does not work together and the magic power does not circulate throughout the whole case, but if you did not have any doubts, or if you were not thinking about it, then you were crying hard, and Altamir, who misunderstood that you were snubbing me, gave me a flying kick and I were in bed for half a day.

I was only asking to reduce the number of mistakes in the future, but it was rude.

Anyway, in order to avoid such a tragedy, I’ve been increasing the number of times I check in during the process, as suggested by Mea.

I thought that I didn’t need to increase the number of times, but I kept getting ripped off, and I even decided to scrap Quetzalcoatl, the wooden dragon that I had made about ten percent of, and rebuild it from scratch.

At that time, the members of the group came at me with deadly eyes, clutching their wands like clubs, but Mea apologized with me and somehow got them to lower their sighs, and the rioting stopped.

In all honesty, even if we had continued, the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl would not have been able to fly, so it was a sound decision no matter how you look at it, but remembering the look in the eyes of the members of the division at that time sends chills down my spine, so I try not to say anything unnecessary.

Anyway, this is the reason why there are so many confirmations in the alchemist group.

“You guys! Are you going to do this seriously? A being that transcends the realm of the divine in human form, a universal being that could only be defined as a fictional concept, a thought experiment, a perfect ruler of spirits, a demon of the contradictions of Corcutrus, a being worthy of being called the Golden Alchemist, with the guidance of Abel-sama, we can begin to manufacture magical weapons, you know!? In what other time period and in what other country was there a sorcerer who was so honored and so happy? You are now in the presence of the Absolute! Why can’t you understand that? Can’t you understand that it is the greatest joy of a sorcerer to serve him? You are not sorcerers! You’re foggs! Let the Peretta birds eat your brains!”

The small old man who shouted at the members of the division was Penrar …… the old man Pen.

I’ve been ordered to take down the Nalgarn that had appeared along the border, and I rescued him from being killed by the Nalgarn, but to my surprise he had amnesia.

Based on the word “pen” that he barely remembered, I nicknamed him “Old Pen,” and he’s going to spend his time recuperating in the Fage territory until his memory returns.

“Old Pen, you’re out of line.”

“But I can’t understand why Abel-sama, who is so high up in magic, is being disregarded …… You are not someone to be disregarded, though!”

“Old Pen, be quiet. I’m just happy to have someone like you who understands what I’m going through. I’ll be happy if I can just casually pass on the magic here to the extent that I can. I’m not ready to abandon this territory now ……”

I make a gloomy voice and let out a sigh.

“Abel-sama. Abel-sama is too kind! This Penrath has never changed his worship of you, Abel-sama ……”

“It’s Old Pen.”

“This Old Pen, don’t get me wrong, I respect and admire Abel-sama for having such a great personality, but at the same time, I sometimes find it painful …… This is like the benevolent dragon Garriel of folklore, who gave up his wings and eyes for the world ……!”

“This is alright ……”

I pat Old Pen’s head.

Old Pen remained on his knees on the ground and began to cry aloud.

The members of the division who had been watching the sequence of events tilted their heads, “The Commander is kind ……?” But for now, I kept it out of sight.

“Abel! Mea, Mea also understands Abel and loves you.”

Mea flapped her arms and gently poked her head out with a slight blush on her face.

“Oh, Thanks. But that’s not what we’re talking about now.”

“…… It’s too insolent for a little girl who’s not even a sorcerer to claim to understand Abel-sama.”

Penrath gritted his teeth and glared at Mea with a look of madness.

“…… I’m sorry to say that while you’re indulging in this unpleasant farce, but that can’t be the Four Great Priests of Riveras Kingdom, can it?”

Altamir glared at me with a suspicious look.

“No way. Old Pen is just an old man with amnesia. Lark-san is also convinced of that.”

He looked pretty twitchy, and he seemed to be discussing something with Euris later, but at any rate, he gave him permission to stay and join the alchemist division provisionally.

Altamir’s words were tantamount to questioning Lark’s judgment.

“That’s very harsh words, Ms. Alta. It is true that I am an amnesiac, and that I was lying in a suspicious place, but it is certainly not possible to clear my name. It’s no wonder they suspect me as Penrath, one of the four great priests of the enemy!”

“…… I said you’re a high priest, but I never said you were Penrath, though?”

“Hey, Alta-san! Please stop picking on Old Pen! He has amnesia now! You should avoid confusing him by saying complicated things!”

I stood in front of Old Pen and protected him.

While I’m gone, I want to make sure that the development of the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl and the magic wave tower can proceed in parallel to some extent.

Only Altamir and Penrath can command that.

Although Altamir and Penrath are two steps above each other in terms of their background in magic, their enthusiasm is three steps different.

I can’t afford to lose Old Pen here.

Unlike Lark, it will be hard to persuade Peter, so I’m still keeping it from him.

I’ve also asked Lark and Euris not to talk to Peter about it.

Even though he has changed his mind now, he used to be a fanatic of Levi.

And when I asked Penrath about Levi, he said sadly, “When I saw Abel-sama, I realized. The age of the Four Great Creators is over and the world must accept change”.

It seemed that he had not completely lost his adoration for Levi, his former teacher.

It is quite difficult to get Peter to allow Penrath to stay.
