125 Gypsy Wizard (1/2)

Dark Knight Kroki

He transmigrates with Tona to the land of Gypseal.

When we make the transition, we exit with a black room.

The magic circle of transition is still glowing at his feet.

The walls of the black room are densely covered with sacred hieroglyphics.

I can feel the heat in the air of the room.

This is already a desert country.

Magic is really useful.

Tona. Is this, is this the Kingdom of Ptahja?

I ask myself of Totoona.

The gods of Gypseal dwell in the golden city of Arnak.

However, for defensive reasons, they cannot directly transfer to Arnak.

Therefore, Totona decided to go to Arnak from the Kingdom of Puthaha, where it is possible for her to transfer.

The Kingdom of Ptah has a population of about 10,000 and is also known as the land of crafts.

The reason why it is called the land of crafts is because most of the inhabitants are dwarves, the people of crafts.

Most of the inhabitants are dwarves, the people of crafts, and the king (Pharaoh) is also a dwarf.

The reason there are so many dwarves in this country in the first place is because this land was given to Heibos, the god of Elyos.

In fact, among the people of Zipshir, the gods of Elyos, Heybos, Ishtia and Totona are also worshipped as gods by the people of Zipshir.

I think it's interesting that they are believed to be gods outside of the world by nature.

Incidentally, from Nargol, the great witch Herkert is worshipped as a god of medicine.

In the kingdom of Heket where many frogmen (toadmen) live, there is a great temple of Herkert.

So Kroki. This is the kingdom of Ptahja. And it is also the Gypsir branch of the Society of Magicians.

Tona nodded her head in agreement.

The Kingdom of Putaha is sometimes famous for having a Gypsir branch of the Society of Magicians, in addition to crafts.

Totona, the goddess of knowledge and books, is also the god of sorcerers.

The Great Sage Magus, one of the founders of the Society of Magicians in Saria, is her apostle.

Seven hundred years after its founding, Magus is still alive and well, and we hear that he is involved in the running of the Society of Magicians as an honorary president.

Seven hundred years after its founding. The sorcerers who studied in Saria spread around the world, communicating with each other and establishing chapters in different parts of the world.

The branch of the Society of Sorcerers is located in the Kingdom of Putha in Gypsiel.

'I see. So this is where the famous Gypseal sorcerers are located?''

Tona is a little surprised when she says that to herself.

'Heh, Kroki. Familiar.

'Yes, Tona. The Gypsir sorcerers are renowned for their excellence.

The Gypsir Mages Association is second only to its headquarters, Saria, in fame.

In other parts of the world, only human sorcerers can become members of the Society of Magicians.

However, the Society of Gypseal's sorcerer's society allows non-human species to become members as well.

In addition, there are few restrictions on the study of sorcery because there is less influence from the Odis and Felians, who dislike dark magic and necromancy.

The study of magic in Gypsiel is more advanced than in other areas of the world, perhaps because of its wide open door policy and the lack of restrictions, and it has produced some of the most talented sorcerers in the world.

The magicians of Gipsyll are becoming synonymous with excellent magicians.

''Yes. The sorcerers here are very good. And the head of the branch is my disciple as well.''

Now I'm surprised myself.

The head of the branch here must be pretty good at learning directly from Totoona, the god.

'Kroki. Apparently he's come for us. Good thing we're in touch.

Someone emerges from the shadows at the entrance of this room.

The moment you see the figure, you are almost surprised.

The reason for this is that the person who appeared is a policeman with a black scarecrow's head.

The policeman has a sorcerer's staff. Does that mean he is a magician?

There are pollies under Coona's command, but I don't think I've ever seen any of the kogamushi pollies.

I've never seen them before.

'Welcome, my dear sir. My master, Lady Tohna.

The policeman crosses his paws in front of his chest and bows his head.

'Long time no see. Kepler. And then there's Kroki. I'd like to introduce you to. This is Kepler. He is a Huncologasi sorcerer and the head of this sorcerer's society. He is also known as the Golden Sage, a very talented sorcerer.

'No, no, Lady Tona. I am ashamed to call you the Golden Sage. I am not a wise man, and I am still a young man.

Kepler, the Huncologasi man, ducks his head with his paws in embarrassment.

'No, Kepler. Your study of magic is very impressive. You should proudly call yourself a wise man.

Kepler is bobbing his paws. He must be very happy.

And then Kepler looks at me.

”By the way, Lady Tona. How are you over here?

”Uh... he...

Tona looks at me as if she is troubled by the question.

She seems unsure if she should tell him who she is.

I'm sure Rage is here, too, and I want to hide my identity as much as possible.

'It's okay. Tona. If you're the one I trust, I trust myself.

But Kepler, the Huncologasi man, seems to be someone Tona trusts quite a bit. Then I'll trust him myself.

He won't tell on us.

”Kepler. This is Kroki. He is the Dark Knight of Nargol's finest.

Kepler is surprised when Tona introduces him.

'My God!　The black god of storms who plunged the Republic of Ariadia into the abyss of terror!　And that's with the Lady Tona?　This is amazing!

I don't know what it is, but it seems that I'm getting my own thing across to this gypseal.

However, it doesn't seem to be in a good way.

How the hell does it get through to me? I'm a little concerned.

'There's a lot going on. Kepler. For that matter, is there somewhere we can talk in peace?

Well, we have a reception room in the association. We won't be questioned there.

With that, Kepler turns his back on us and leads us away.

Along the way, they meet humans and cat people, as well as lizard people and hippopotamuses.

When they meet them, they bow reverently and open the way.

They are not bowing to Totona.

They keep Totona's arrival a secret, except for Kepler, so as not to make a scene.

In other words, they are bowing to Kepler.

From their demeanor, it is clear that Kepler is highly desirable to the people, or rather, to the humankind.

When they arrived at the reception room, Kepler instructed the association's staff to have a private conversation with the guests and not to let anyone approach them after they brought the tea.

The reception room of the association branch is quite large.

The floor is covered with a soft carpet. The walls are decorated with furniture, and the chairs are covered with soft cushions as if they were filled with feathers.

The Society of Gypsies' sorcerers seems to be quite wealthy.

A staff member brings me a cup of tea.

There are two teas brought in.

It is served in front of you and Tona. Kepler probably doesn't drink it.

”Huh?　What's this?　Coffee?

You can't help but look at the tea.

The black color, the good aroma. It's like coffee when it's brought in.

'Kuroki-sama. This tea is a bean tea made from the seeds of a red fruit called Nepenthes. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us. Please have a cup of it.

Kepler explains with a laugh.

'Right. ....... Then I'll take it.'

I sip my bean tea.

It has a more unique aroma than the coffee of the world I was in.
