Chapter 47: Reunion 1

It was the morning after the Veritas Magic Tower branch in Brandon was set in flames.

For the purpose of taking a look at the books he had brought from the library, Luke went down to the Inn’s dining room and had his breakfast, lunch, and dinner there.

However, he heard an interesting story.

“The Veritas Magic Tower is behaving strangely, aren’t they?”

“Yeah, at night, there was a fire that had burst out, so I went to meet a friend who worked there, but I wasn’t allowed to meet with my friend and was kicked out of the entrance itself.”

There were two mercenaries who were seated across the other table and were having a conversation.

Knowing what he had done, Luke just pretended to be indifferent while listening to their conversation.

“If there was a fire, shouldn’t something have happened there?”

“I thought so too, but the branch stated that it was just a magical experiment.”

A mercenary glanced around for a moment. He then moved closer to the other mercenary and said,

“But, no matter how much I think about it, something big must have happened. The wizards and the soldiers are trying to find someone.”

“Then, was it arson?”

“Could be. Why would there be an explosion in the Veritas Magic Tower otherwise? Surely the Branch manager must have said that it was a magic experiment because the reputation of the tower would crumble.”

‘Huhuhu, looks like they are hanging by a thread.’

Luke was laughing to himself, listening to the story of the two.

Like a vision with more than 5 circles magic books and important materials being robbed and the library getting burned down.

In addition, the stolen blueprint of the Gigant seemed to be very important!

‘Should I take a look at it later? Originally, the culprit always reappears at the crime scene.’

Luke was in his own thoughts when Philip and Rogers came down from their room.

Rogers began to talk the moment he found Luke in the dining room.

“Young Lord, has anything pleasant happened to you?”

“Nothing. I just feel like taking a little revenge.”

“Little revenge?”

“It is something like that. Rather than that, are you two doing okay?”

The drinks they had drunk the other day were more than three barrels.

After a certain point, they began to drink alcohol for free.

It would have been fine if they had decided to stop there, but the two of them made a drink called the bomber which is made by mixing beer and whiskey.

Due to his curiosity, Luke too had a cup of it but wasn’t able to understand why they did such crazy a thing.

“I don’t like that drink. It’ll just break my head.”

Philip was hanging his head down the moment he sat down on the table.

Seeing that, Rogers clicked his tongue and said,

“If you are a knight, you should be able to handle yourself when drinking ten and not just three. Where did all that strength go?”

“That is because you’re a monster. I am average!”

“Average!? What nonsense! I’ll assign a lot of work to you, so you won’t be like that.”
