That night, Sean was invited to stay overnight at the Earl's house.
In fact, when I came here today, I had already thought about spending the night at the Earl's house, because of Earl Hamilton's sudden illness and the fact that he later called all the nobles into the room one by one to talk privately.
The last time, he even asked his three children to go in with him. After everyone came out, they all looked solemn and confused.
Because of this, the originally prepared dinner didn't go smoothly. No one seemed to have any interest in eating. They were just filling their stomachs out of hunger, without any extra socializing...
On the other hand, Igunya on Sean's side seemed very curious about what the count said, and asked him in a low voice about the content of the conversation many times.
Actually, it's nothing. I guess someone among the nobles will spread it soon, but now is not the right time. And with Igunya's nosy nature, I'm always afraid she will tell others... This matter will eventually get out, but it must not be now, on the first day that Earl Hamilton mentioned it.
Maybe everyone was following this rule, so the whole dinner seemed so quiet!
Of course, for Sean, sitting with Igunya also means enduring the gazes from different angles.
Although they had only known each other for two days, it was the first time he'd noticed Ignia's immense popularity among the nobility. Her beauty was indeed exceptional, but there were other good-looking noble girls present, and since this was Earl Hamilton's, Alia should be the most popular.
But many eyes were fixed on Ignia, especially one man in Alia's camp, whose favorability towards her had dropped from [Neutral] to [Indifferent]!
Sean felt that if he teased Igonia again, she would probably reach the level of [Hate].
And I seem to have seen this person before. He's Iguniya's fellow disciple. His name seems to be Warren! That's the name.
Lord Hamilton said they belong to the wizards of Eleanor!
Sean guessed that it should be the name of an organization, or a sect, etc., similar to the sects in the martial arts novels he read in the past.
After all, the wizards in this world are divided into many factions...
After dinner, Sean used the excuse that he was tired to go back to his room to rest. In fact, many people used this excuse. Today's situation was too special. All the nobles had other ideas in their minds, so the dinner was dismissed early.
Igonia and her companions were not nobles but were simply invited here, so she would leave at night.
Before leaving, I chatted with Sean for a few minutes...
The two met because they were looking for Warcraft, but Warcraft can no longer be found now, so there seems to be no intersection between the two.
Before leaving, Igonia asked herself whether she should stay in the Earl's Mansion for a few more days and then return to the town of Telemian?
This was what Sean originally thought.
After finding a way to develop Telemian, I may have to go back and take a look. After all, the lord cannot leave the territory for too long.
However, after Earl Hamilton revealed the truth today, Sean began to feel that in addition to his own development, there was another matter worthy of his attention and it was a matter of life and death.
His answer to Igonia was that he would stay in Koga City for the time being, but would not stay in the Earl's house for too long because he still had things to do. He also invited her to go to the nearby orchard together later because he wanted to purchase some fruit tree seedlings for the town.
The wizard of Elinta.
Although I don't know if this organization is as strong as the Wizarding Society, it is another magical organization that I have come into contact with. It will be very helpful for me to maintain a good relationship with Igonia both from my own perspective and from a larger perspective.
Even if I want to borrow her magic items to check my level in the future, I have to improve my favorability first!
………………
At night, Sean was alone in the guest room of the Earl's house.
There were several other nobles living nearby, and he could occasionally hear conversations next door... The sound insulation wasn't very good, so perhaps the other party had opened the window intentionally. Anyway, it was like they were acting.
In the Earl's house, he acted out how to educate his subordinates and then arranged what to do next.
Almost all of them talk about how the situation has become serious and then how it is realized!
Sean felt like he was showing his loyalty to the Earl...
After the conversation in the evening, Sean felt that everything that happened in this house seemed to escape the eyes of the seriously ill earl. The nobles around him should have the same feeling, so they reacted like this.
Sean went to the window to check...
There are many houses in the Earl's family, and there is a building a few hundred meters away from his window.
There is no light over there, and the building looks completely dark from a distance. It should be easy to use instruments from a certain room to observe the lit room here, which means that your every move may be under surveillance by others.
Okay.
Sean pulled a chair directly towards the window and sat down, leisurely as if enjoying the moonlight.
In reality, Count Hamilton's words answered a question he'd been pondering. Ever since the man-made avalanche in the town, he'd been wondering if someone was targeting Thelemien. From Lucille to Bachler, to the struggle for the Hamilton family's heir... he found the answer to all of these connections.
Indeed, there were other forces targeting the nobles, and in the words of Earl Hamilton, they were beginning to shake the very foundations of the empire.
But struggle exists everywhere!
As a member of the nobility, he represents the class of this empire, so he has to endure the provocation from the opposition forces.
Lucille's appearance was a treasure hunt, and Bachler's appearance might also be a treasure hunt or a provocation... So when facing these things, what I have to do is always clear.
Develop Thelemian and improve your own strength.
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Sean took a book on the table in his palm...
He deliberately leaned back in the chair as if he was asleep, and the book slipped to the ground.
Because the window was at a different height from me, the place where the book fell was a blind spot. I couldn't see it from outside the window or from other corners of the room, but I tried to lift it up with magic.
Hook your hand and the book will float up slightly.
[Magic Proficiency: 69]
Let go.
And fell back again.
Hook again...
[Magic Proficiency: 70]
It is with this simple method that I practice magic. Now I can continuously release about ten spells every night without running out of energy.
This should be what Lucille said about feeling that she has improved.
But the improvement is very slow. Sean is thankful that this simple action can also improve the proficiency level. Otherwise, it would be difficult to level up if it takes several consecutive releases to improve a little.
I used it twelve times in a row until my magic number proficiency reached 80, then I felt very tired and had to stop.
