The Four Wises of the Continent

I’m still dealing with a few things, but, nothing really serious, and, the reason why a hadn’t post anything until now was… just me and my lazyness. And, well, that… sorry? Also, i actualy tried to make a bigger pack of, like, 4 chapter… but that was the last week, and, i couldn’t, i just, i don’t want to, i mean, a really like this novel, is really dumb some times, and the plot is just your «every day predictable» kind of plot, but i still like it quite a lot, but… IS SO ANNOYING, damn, both version, the spanish and english one are soooo damn annoying to make. And, i couldn’t, i just couldn’t, it was so damn annoying that a just, damn… so, yeah, no big pack for this thing… well, if it was the normal me, then, i would have make it anyway, but… it’s been a few month sinse a actualy translate something, and… didn’t wanted to lost my time with this, so, i just finished the second chapter and, errrm, i don’t know how to say it… the thing is that a need to move on and translate something of the other novels and this was taking me too long, so, that, this, and, yeah, that. This will be everything fo a while, so, sorry, again.

The Din Family mansion.

Compared to the mansions of the other Nobles, ours is considerably smaller.

First of all, it only has two floors, and most of the rooms are for employee use.

Even if we wanted to expand our mansion, we would only end up wasting materials.

Anyway, even if it were bigger, Shadiberga would probably still have trouble hiding his secret books.

It seems like he hadn’t gave up that hobby.

I went to the office that was on the second floor.

There was Shadiberga, who was drinking an iced tea while reading something.

He has been working hard for the past few years, but he still looks young.

Also, after all these long years of hard work, Shadiberga has started to become calmer.

He no longer cares too much about noble pride or dignity.

I enter into the office and talk to him.

「Father」

「…. Hii, uuuuwaa!」

Shadiberga screamed.

I’m sorry, I must correct myself.

He no longer had even a hint of dignity left.

However, his scene did not end there.

I must say that the actions he took afterwards were somewhat embarrassing to watch.

After letting out that scream, Shadiberga immediately hit the ground with his shoes.

At that moment, a small compartment in the floor was opened.

After opening it, Shadiberga put the book he was reading inside.

Then he kicked the floor again to close the compartment.

All of that happened in just 3 seconds.

Shadiberga also seems to have grown considerably during these last 8 years.

No, he has just become even more degenerate.

「What are you doing, Father?」

「A-Ah, Regis, please, I told you to knock before entering」

「My mistake, but you shouldn’t read while working either」

「I was just resting a bit」

「Even when your life is at stake when you do that? How bold」

「… Certainly」

If you get it then stop doing it.

But I guess in the end, no matter what I tell him, he won’t stop.

Those kinds of desires are natural for the human being.

Even if one understands the consequences, one cannot just ignore them.

But, it will be problematic if I end up being scolded alongside him.

However, he shouldn’t have many hiding places left since his double door was destroyed.

I think she will soon find the compartment on the floor.

Anyway, please don’t yell so loud again after taking an early break just because you get called.

Since all the birds that were perching on the window fled, you could end up causing people to believe that something really serious was happening.

「So what did you need me for?」

「Ah, that friend I’ve been looking for is finally here」

「Ooh, is Father talking about that person you’ve been telling me about?」

「That’s right.

With her help you should be able to be accepted into the Academy, even if you are not approved by the Three Royal Houses of the Kingdom」

That’s good.

Entering the academy became considerably difficult after defeating Hogos.

I remember getting really depressed after reading the book that spelled out the requirements for admission.

However, is there really a way for my to be approved?

I asked Shadiberga for an explanation with my eyes.

Then, Shadiberga replied after drinking some tea.

「You know that you cannot enter the Royal Academy of Magic if you are not recognized by the Three Royal Houses, the oldest Noble Houses in the Kingdom, right?」

「I do. The Three Royal Houses are some of the Houses that were founded by the High Nobles who founded the Royal Academy of Magic」

「That’s right. Each of these Houses has great authority, so if one of them doesn’t like you, you can forget about the idea of enrolling in the Academy」

It’s as Shadiberga says, the conditions to enter the Academy are somewhat special.

Before being able to take the entrance exam, it is necessary to be approved by one of the Nobles of the Kingdom.

What we need to achieve is, 『Not to be hated』 mainly.

Of course, there was also the possibility of convincing the Three Royal Houses through a payment.

However, you will definitely be rejected if they dislike you.

If the Three Royal Houses agree and do not approve, you will not even be qualified to take the entrance exam.

Therefore, entering the academy was considerably difficult for a House like ours.

「The Radius House was closely related to the Hogos House.

The impression that Hogos House left on them as business partners seems to have been very favorable」

The Radius House is a family of High Nobles residing in the Capital, which have contributed a large amount of funds for the development of the Kingdom.

Furthermore, they seems to be a House specialized in magical research.

They are famous for having created one of the greatest weapons used for the defense of the Kingdom, 『The Flaming Steel Charriot』.

The Kingdom was able to face the Empire so many times thanks to that weapon.

After acquiring some prestige in the Kingdom, they were able to acquire a considerable fortune.

By the way, there is a rumor that they are a House that deeply despises the commoners, and also the one its says to be one of the most fearsome Houses in the Kingdom.

However, they are also the most popular among the nobles.

It is said that they had a good relationship with Hogos, a member of a great Noble House in the West.

Of course, it was on a level where they could even call themselves friends.

You could also say that the Radius House was backing them up.

Anyway, from my point of view they are nothing more than a malicious House.

They were the type of House that did not hesitate to oppress commoners and Nobles Lower than them through strength and status.

I’m sure they were angry about Hogos’s defeat.

「… The Sharu Qüinn House will surely also oppose.

They will definitely reject all enrollment requests that we send to the academy」

Shadiberga sighed depressed.

However, what he had just said was something completely new to me.

The Sharu Qüinn House.

If I remember correctly, the Head of the House was a Noble Lady.

It was one of the Three Royal Houses alongside Radius and Holtros.

During the time of the founding of the Kingdom, their House was known as a House of Mages who repelled countless opponents in the vanguard.

Due to their chivalric descent, they are strict and difficult to handle.

However, the taxes in their territory are moderate and they are also very popular among the people.

The difference between them and the scum I had beaten long ago was abysmal.

However, I wonder what happened between us and those High Nobles.

「What happened? Did Father do something to them?」

「No, that’s impossible. I didn’t even enter the academy.

To be exact, the Jirginus family is the one that had some problems with them」

「Ah? Mother’s House?」

「Long ago, Sefina’s older sister used to beat the Daughter of the Sharu Qüinn House in every mook battle they have in the academy」

「And did they hold a grudge just for that? But it shouldn’t have been nothing more than a lesson?」

「It’s just that they are really proud of themselves. A may more than most nobles」

I see.

I had already heard that Sefina had an older sister.

However, I also heard that she died at a young age due certain sickness during an epidemic.

Then Sefina became the Heir to the House and soon after her House fell.

It may be that one of the reasons why the Jirginus House is so hated is because they earned the resentment of a High Noble.

It could also have been one of the causes of their downfall.

「The other House is more neutral and focuses more on the individual’s own abilities, so they will probably admit our application for admission.

However, both, Radius and Sharu Qüinn will definitely oppose your entry」

I see.

I already imagined that there would be a gap created by status in the academy.

It is better not to annoy anyone from some higher House while I am there.

I could end up making enemies everywhere if I move carelessly.

However, is it really necessary to acquire the approval of the Three Royal Houses to enter the academy?

Also, the fee to take the exam and enter the academy is extraordinary.

I’m sure the Three Royal Houses make a great deal of money out of all that.

Since the Din House are on bad terms with the majority, I’d better forget about the traditional way.

However, is there no other way?

I started to get anxious when I considered it.

On the other hand, Shadiberga kept talking.

「So this is what I wanted to talk about.

The requirements to enter the Royal Academy of Magic have been closely influenced by the wishes of the Nobles.

Because of that, the Kingdom has begun to doubt that system.

As a result of that… Things slightly changed a few decades ago.

Now, even if you don’t have the approval of the Three Royal Houses, you still have a chance to enter the academy if you prove that you possess a promising talent」

「Instead, there must be a number of restrictions, right?」

「That’s right. It would be troublesome if some troublesome person were allowed enter after all.

First of all, you need to be recommended by a certain person to whom the Kingdom has entrusted the power to choose」

So.

There are two ways to enter the academy.

One of them is the aforementioned, which consists of obtaining the approval of the Three Royal Houses that run the academy.

The other is to be approved by a certain person.

Shadiberga decided to tell me about the latter.

「Now, for someone to be approved to make the election, first of all they must have taught at the academy.

The person must also be conducting some research at the academy.

An exception to this is that it is some important figure of the country to whom the King has given his approval.

Well, normally it would be impossible for a Fallen Noble House like ours to have relationships with someone like that, so usually, it would be best to ignore the latter」

I see.

The masters of the Royal Academy of Magic must have mastered high-level techniques.

As expected from the Academy, only the best of the Kingdom would teach there, furthermore, I am sure that those who teach there are also holders of an excellent position.

There’s no way a Fallen Noble from the frontier could be related to someone like them.

In addition, it is often difficult to contact an investigator. Finding a prestigious investigator is really hard, even for High Nobles.

Anyway, being able to contact someone like that will surely be extremely difficult for someone like us.

However, Shadiberga was still smirking about something.

After placing his cup of tea on the table, he said.

「However, among my acquaintances there is someone who meets those conditions」

「You’re already delirious again. Did you work so hard that you decided to escape from reality?」

「Why do you think that!?

I am telling you the truth. It happens that among my acquaintances there is one of the Four Wises of the Continent」

「… Ah-hah, sure. Although I don’t think Father were going to tell such a blatant lie for no reason」

But if so, where is that person?

I really don’t think there is a possibility that Shadiberga had the opportunity to meet such an important figure for the Kingdom.

I really doubt that a person who did so much for the mainland would go out of their way just to come here.

「Come on. She’s the person I usually ask for my books.

That person who makes her deliveries with a strange monster. That’s her」

「Are you saying that the person who travels all over the continent looking for those kinds of books is actually one of the people who contributed to the consolidation of this country?」

「Calling her a person is something… Well, she’s definitely a weirdo」

Shadiberga said that with a strange look on his face.

A street vendor who always brings extravagant merchandise from the Empire. A greedy person who would not hesitate to give your products to others if they double the payment.

It’s hard to imagine that one of those people is one of the Four Wises of the Continent.

「She is a professional magical researcher.

She seems to be researching a type of 『Ancient Magic』… One that was created long before the Kingdom was founded.

She’s also a really slippery person, so I never know exactly where she is」

「I see.

You built those magical research facilities focused on improving the environment and tracking anomalies to lure her, didn’t you?」

「She’s the kind of person who would come immediately as soon as she knew about the building of that kind of thing after all.

Undoubtedly, she will end up flying directly to any place as long as there is something that catches her attention …」

Shadiberga drank his tea again after saying those words.

Sunlight streamed in from the window behind him.

Outside the window it was a calm day.

But, it is strange.

My eyes may be wrong, however I think I am seeing something amazing out there.

At first I thought it was just a bird.

But, as it got closer, it began to look more and more like a human.

I turned away from Shadiberga and moved to the other end of the room.

Shadiberga could only bow his head, confused by my sudden action.

「Nn? Is something wrong, Regis?」

「Here~ I~ am ~!」

At that moment, the sound of a large explosion echoed through the mansion.

The window had been completely destroyed while the owner of that voice entered.

You’re amazing, Shadiberga.

You are the holder of an incredible intuition.

It seems like she really flew in, just like you said.

Although I think it was unnecessary to come flying.

Shadiberga, who was sent rolling by the blast, reached the other side of the room.

Fortunately, he seems to be unharmed.

*Dotadota*, I could hear the sound the servants coming up the stairs.

At that moment I put my head out of the room and told them that everything was fine and that there was nothing they should worry about.

Then, as the cloud of dust rose…

And as Shadiberga began to shake his clothes while shouting «Awawawa» …

That person stood up.

By the way, Shadiberga seemed to have been completely drenched by his tea.

He was on the verge of tears.

While looking at it, hear an outrageous laugh.

「Haha~, hahahaha!

How pitiful you are, Shadi. I just arrived and you are doing strange things.

How did you end up in that strange position?」

「Yo-You! Why didn’t you walk through the front door?」

「I just commit a little mistake while adjusting my magic power.

I take it a little easy when I thought I would see you again Shadi, anyway, you look very good」

「Not good at all you mean! Can’t you see all this mess!?」

Shadiberga screamed as he picked up the broken objects that had been scattered around the room.

It seems that she really was the person he was talking about.

Well, it looks like we have our key man, or should I say, key woman.

The person who came from the sky seems to be… around 12 and 13 years old.

She’s not really tall, I think she only goes up to my chest.

Although I can’t say I’m very tall either.

The girl’s blonde hair stretched casually to the floor.

I wasn’t sure if she had cared too much about taking care of it, yet it shone like pure gold.

Her white robe fluttered in the air as she spun around, looking around.

Seeing her clothes, I remembered that she was apparently involved with some kind of special investigative work.

It had something to do with the study of ancient magic.

It is something mysterious.

Her childish face and mischievous smile made her look like a child.

To tell the truth, she looks so adorable that I feel like hugging her.

What is this creature?

This would clearly fall within restricted content on the internet.

She is such an incredible creature that she would be worshiped as the messiah at the gatherings of little girl lovers across the whole country.

Won’t you come with me if I give you a candy?

Ah, I should give it a try after we’re done with this.

Wait, stop. Just think a little about it.

Apparently, the real age of this girl does not match the age she looks like.

Shadiberga also seems to be wary of her.

「It is true! A few years ago you gave one of the books I asked to one of the servants!

After that I ended up being severely punished. Also, they restricted my means of placing more orders」

「Not my fault.

This bird is obsessed with money, if not for that he should have delivered the package properly」

「They ended up burning everything!」

「Your wife is still as strict as ever huh.

Well then, how is Sefi?

I wonder how my student’s sister is doing, who gave me a terrifying look when she found out that you had involved with me」

「… She suffers from the 『Disease without Return』」

「What?」

The girl looked surprised.

The girl, who until now had been laughing out loud, fell silent and with a surprised look after hearing Sefina’s condition.

Shadiberga continued speaking after noticing her reaction.

「It’s been 15 years since she contracted the disease」

「I see, I see, now I understand.

I was already wondering why Shadi came up with building such research facilities.

I rarely come in contact with you, so you decided to build them to lure me」

「And as a result, you ended up destroying my window」

「Don’t worry about those little things.

If you keep worrying so much about that kind of thing, you will end up losing all your hair」

「… I don’t want to hear that coming from you」

Shadiberga began to get depressed.

By the way, I feel like his hair has started to thin out as the years went by.

You could really end up going bald if you keep accumulating stress.

Damn, my heart started to beat faster and faster.

I can’t help but tremble when I think of the possibility that I might had inherit such genes from Shadiberga.

Just kidding.

「Anyway, in other words, you want to use my name.

But for what? Are you going to enter the academy?」

「Not me. My son, Regis, will do it」

Shadiberga pointed at me while saying that.

Then the girl turned to me.

I felt like she was licking me with her eyes.

It felt like she was slowly and carefully examining my entire body, from my head to the edge of my feet.

Her painstaking investigation of my body finally stopped when she reached my eyes, then She muttered.

「He’s like to his mother」

「Huh?」

「Is it because Shadi’s genes were weaker?

I see that Shadiberga’s genes are as good at surviving as the original」

「You, do you know Mother?」

「Of course, I’m the one who recommended Sefi’s sister to enter the academy after all」

「… How-, how old are you?」

The moment I asked that, my eyes were drawn to the girl’s ears.

Those were ears that were stretched upward and did not give the impression that at some point they would fall.

They were beautifully shaped and gave the girl an intellectual air.

I’ve seen those ears before.

Eight years ago.

I’d seen the same kind of ears back in the day when I faced those bandits…

Ah, I remember.

「Are… Are you an elf?」

「Of course, don’t look like one?

But even so, I feel a strange aroma coming from you」

After saying that, the girl walked towards me.

Then she came up to me and started sniffing my neck.

「… Wh-What are you doing?」

「How boring.

Did you though that no one else would approach him if you marked him? I wonder what she was thinking when she did it」

「What are you talking about?」

「It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.

However, being infused with her scent could become somewhat troublesome.

It could prevent elves from being hostile to you, but it could also cause other elves to be more alert towards you in «other way»」

Then the girl started laughing deep in her throat.

Her explanation was somewhat confusing, so I can’t quite understand what she said.

I think she was referring to the time I was marked by Isabel.

Did it have any other meaning?

Back then I was a little curious, but she left before I could ask her anything.

On the other hand, this girl seems to be ignoring my doubt.

「Well, it should be fine.

I suppose I could make the recommendation, after all Shadi and I are friends」

「Thank you, you saved us.

You’re the only one I can trust right now」

「However, the deadline for registration is near.

I also need some time to prepare the documents, so I will borrow the lab for a while for that」

「Use it as you like. I build it for you after all」

The girl and Shadiberga nodded to each other.

The way they talk to each other makes you see them like old friends.

I’m a little concerned about the kind of relationship the girl has with Shadiberga.

I don’t think I have the right judge it, but that doesn’t stop me from being jealous.

Anyway, it seems that I will be able to overcome the barrier that prevented me from qualifying for enrollment, so I will let it pass this time.

But, I still have some doubts.

I looked at the girl and asked her.

「Who are you?」

「Who am I? I am Alexandria.

Please feel free to call me Alex.

It seems that you read the book that I left in this place.

I think it is a good book to read during training.

So? What did you think of that avant-garde perspective?」

The girl began to say that full of pride.

It’s like when a child builds a sand castle and then starts calling out to their parents while yelling 『Look, look!』 to show them his creation.

She spoke with the same bright eyes and innocent smile of those children.

「So? What do you think about it?」

She ask happily.

Seriously, she really does look like a girl when she looks at me with those bright eyes.

… I can’t tell her that.

I can’t tell her that I completely skipped the autobiography part.

I can’t tell her that I actually preferred to burn a mean trader over finishing it, I definitely can’t tell her that.

「… Ah, I think it was okay?」

「I knew!

As expected of me-

The Supreme Wizard, Alexandria!」

The girl affirmed that while proudly straightening herself.

I definitely won’t tell her that, not even by accident.

The Wizard Alexandria.

The moment I thought of that name, I realized something outrageous.

「Wait a minute! You- You mean that Alexandria…?」

「Oh, so you finally realized what a great person I am」

The girl looked at me as she stuck out her chest proudly.

Immediately afterwards she took out a spell book from inside her robe.

Then she started to mutter some words, and the next instant, her clothes were changed before my eyes.

Her appearance had changed from that of a dangerous investigator to that of a brilliant wizard.

At this moment I felt as if that wizard I was talking about in ancient times had stood up in front of me.

So, in that outfit, the girl introduced herself again.

Her cheerful voice echoed from every corner of the Din Family’s mansion.

「My name is Alexandria!

One of the Four Wises of the Continent who managed to defeat the Evil God by themselves!」

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
