I Was Reincarnated As A God - Chapter 5

MARRY XMAS ALL

Lanore strode away.

Walking along the long castle corridor without hesitation, he opened the office door wide.

“You’re here.”

Eden, the butler of Elharan (di Air), who had been waiting in advance, bowed politely. (TLN I’m not to sure on the name but will include rather then remove)

Lanore headed for the innermost desk.

There was a long sword placed on top of the desk.

Lanore, who picked up the long sword, pulled it out at once.

An eerie blade was revealed with a gruesome sound of metal.

Lanore sat on the edge of his desk and looked at the blade in the sun.

He looked at the sword with a blank expression for some time, but he nodded to Eden.

“Eden.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

Eden opened his mouth with his back straightened.

“Bermon has blocked the ice wall, but the barbarians have taken advantage of your absence.”

It continued to report that there was a close battle with the barbarians who crossed the ice wall, injured people and some damage to the private houses.

“We also don’t know why, but the scouts report that the movement of the barbarians has become very active in recent years.”

“Since when?”

“About a month ago.”

“……Huh.”

Lanore pushed the sword into the censor.

“It’s about the time Lucia was born.”

“Is that so?”

Eden confirmed again that there were only two people in the office and opened his mouth.

“She finally awoke from her egg.”

“That’s right, Seria had a hard time.”

Lanore said with a fox-like smile.

“Her name is Luenstella. We call her “Lucia” for short.”

Eden muttered to himself, “Lucia.”

And added in a small voice.

“…… That’s apretty name.”

Lanoar, who put down the sword, asked, tilting his head slightly to the side by side.

“Did the Roahim Imperial family call you back?”

“The third letter has already arrived.”

Laughter spread through the office.

Lanore smiled with his eyes as he swept away his disheveled silver hair.

“Are you fretting? It’s interesting to see you go back.”

“You have to make a quick decision.”

“I think we should, but……”

It was then.

Lanore suddenly hardened his face.

He turned his head sharply.

“……”

Lanoia, staring at the window, mumbled, frowning as if it were ridiculous.

“I’ll have to start over with my child’s education first.”

***

The wizard of Rune Hillt kidnapped Lucia as it was.

The man snapped his finger, and the room was suddenly full of bright silver everywhere.

As the light died down, it was a completely new place.

Lucia looked around the changed area.

The place where Lucia and the man moved was a large, circular space.

About ten people huddled together at a large table in the center of the room.

All of them, of varying gender and age, wore Rune Hillt’s robes and wore Rune Hillt’s seal necklace.

They were all looking at this side with their glasses raised high, freezing, but it seemed like we were going to make a toast.

“……”

An awkward silence ensued.

Then someone dropped a glass of wine onto the table.

The wizards, who had been frozen with a thud, came to their senses.

They started screaming and running away.

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Go, run away!”

The wizards ran everywhere, fleeing the monster.

But the man’s magic was much faster than they were backing out.

He snorted and flicked his finger twice in succession.

Then the windows and doors in the room closed at once.

The magicians, whose escape routes were all blocked in front of their noses, looked back with blue faces.

They gave a belated greeting.

“Be, Be, Bermon……”

“Welcome back to the tower. Oh….”

“I’m so glad you’re alive. I thought you were dead.…”

“You know, it’s been a while since you’ve been here……!”

It was a very reluctant welcome.

The man called Bermon stared at the wizards with cool eyes.

“You must have had lots of fun while I was away, didn’t you all?”

“No, that’s not it.”

The sorcerers, sweating cold, hid away their wine bottles and glasses.

But it’s already too late.

The table was already a mess of spilled wine and eaten food.

Bermon’s eyebrows wriggled at the appearance of the dirty mess all over the tower.

Just before the magic of anger came down, a wizard quickly asked a question.

“By the way, what could that be you have in your hand?”

Lucia struggled again to let her presence know.

Curious eyes poured on the baby fox swinging its short legs.

Bermon replied in a calm voice.

“A lump of dust.”

The wizards frowned at the absurd remarks.

“No. That’s a baby fox by any standard……”

“The hair is silver, isn’t it?”

“It’s very small.”

“Cute.”

The wizards crept toward Lucia, questioning and listening one after another.

But before the wizards reached, Bermon pulled Lucia into his arms and hid her.

Lucia was buried in the sleeves of Bermon with a squeak as they wizards.

When the baby fox was obscured, the wizards hummed and felt sorry.

They asked, trying to look at Lucia, who was covered up hidden away.

“Why did you bring a fox all of a sudden?”

Bermon did not answer immediately, but remained silent.

The wizards opened their mouths at the same time.

“No way……”

“No way, right?”

“Bermon, it’s not possible!”

The wizards held on to Bermon’s robes stretching them.

Bermon stepped back with an irritating face and got on his nerves.

“What do you mean no?”

“You’re going to be doing a magic experiment on a fox!”

Everyone looked at the baby fox in the hands of the master with eyes full of sympathy.

“It’s still a baby!”

“Poor thing….”

Bermon uttered a laugh.

“We don’t do experiments.”

“So why did you bring it here?”

“To eat.”

The wizards shouted more and more.

“Eating a baby fox!”

“No matter how cruel you are, you are so cruel!!”

“If the fact that you ate a fox will be known to the Roachim Empire, you’ll be in big trouble!”

Bermon ignored them and walked past them into the room.

“No way!”

“Mr. Bermon!”

And in front of the magicians who followed him, Bermon slammed the door.

“I’m going to kill it soon. Shut up, you punks.”

The gruesome mutter of Bermon clicked the door shut and turned around without hesitation.

In the meantime, Lucia was looking around the room with her mouth open.

All four walls were made up of bookshelves.

The bookcases, which extended from the floor to the end of the high ceiling, were densely packed with no empty spaces.

‘I think there are more books than in the royal library……’

Besides books, the room was full of strange things that she had never seen before.

Nameless experimental tools, a machine with complex cogs, a map of an unrecognizable language, etc.

‘From what I heard with the wizards earlier, I thought he’d been away for months.’

However, it was hard to find a single speck of dust in any of the items that were lined up in an orderly fashion.

It was a room that revealed an extremely clean personality that was close to obsessive compulsive disorder.

For a moment, Lucia wondered if she heard it wrong.

As he looked alternately at the plate and the hormones with puzzled eyes, he said again.

“Eat it, dust.”

Suddenly I was very hungry.

Lucia crawled slowly toward the plate, looking up at his face.

Bermon clicked its tongue.

“Stupid, small, insignificant……”

Lucia grabbed the fruit, which was cut into small bits to eat, with her front paw.

The sweet and sour pulp spread through her mouth.

Someone knocked on the door as they were eating the fruits.

“Mr. Bermon.”

“What is it?”

“People from the Roahim Empire asked for an audience.”

Bermon, who was watching Lucia, who was eating hard, with his chin in his hand, made an impression.

“Send them back.”

“It’s… ..that they refuse to go back until they see the Master of the Tower.”

Lucia lifted her head instead of cutting fruit.

‘Tower Master?’

The horse was the head of the tower’s Rune Hillt.

In particular, the current Tower Master was an archmage widely recognized on the continent.

‘This rude man is the Master of the tower……?’

He could feel her gaze on him that he looked up at her, so Bermon looked at Lucia again.

As soon as she met his pale blue eyes, Lucia dropped the piece of fruit in her mouth.

Bermon naturally pulled out his handkerchief.

Then, he wiped the juice from her fur thoroughly.

Bermon said, putting away what fell on the desk, handing over a new piece of fruit to Lucia.

“Why did you ask the reason why they want an audience?”

The wizard beyond the door hesitated and answered.

“He wants to reveal the truth about the death of the Emperor.
