Estio Volume 3

 

- Episode 10

 

Although Ahur is a plant, it is tougher than cattle tendon as far as stubbornness is concerned. In the end, no one could break the cactus' stubbornness.

 

Dr. Brune Jaeger, director of the Botanical Garden, added with a slightly worried look.

 

"I'm not sure that this is a special plant that can speak and even walk, but if you continue to refuse to sleep, your health may be harmed. Please keep this in mind and watch."

 

"All right."

 

Estio learned that it was just a natural sleep phase and not a serious illness, so he obediently accepted the flowerpot Brün gave him.

 

Director Brün smiled kindly and explained more.

 

"Plants may seem simple, but when you get to know them, they are as delicate and colorful as animals. They differ in many ways depending on where they live, size, sex, age, and leaf shape. will work."

 

Like a doctor who loves plants, the director looked down at the cactus as if he was lovely even after being stabbed by thorns. Even without decorating or using expensive soil, it has always been a flowerpot that has been carefully cared for. Plants that are loved express the evidence with their whole body. You can tell just by looking at the stem or root. Even if it wasn't the cactus Ahur was talking about, Director Brün would have recognized the fact.

 

'A rare young man.'

 

It was rare to find a specialist for growing plants. He was even more so among young people.

 

With a proud heart, the director brought a few bundles of fresh soil along with nutrients so that the cactus could regain even a little bit of energy. Then, turning around, he took out the last glass bottle he had hidden in his arms and delivered it to Estio.

 

"This is a directive from the guild master."

 

"...Did you know I'd be here?"

 

"Huhuhuh, no. I also got it from the deliveryman a while ago before the leader arrived."

 

At the word deliveryman, everyone's eyes turned to Parker, a joiner, but he shook his head and hurriedly drew an X with his hand. Bernie Parker was no longer a delivery man, but a member of the leader support team. Since he had been moving together all the time, he knew that Estiodo Parker did not have contact with Director Brün under the orders of the Guild Master.

 

'Are you watching?'

 

In the end, it was the sound of the guild master grasping Estio's movement. Still, the reason he didn't appear right away was simple.

 

'exam.'

 

I don't know what the answer is, but I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't seem like I'm going to show up easily until then. As Estio was silent, Director Brün took out his handkerchief and awkwardly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

 

"Um, don't get me wrong. It's not just for the leader, but the original guild master is always watching over all the guild members."

 

"always?"

 

"Because you're a puppeteer."

 

The scary thing about Ignis Guild Master was here. The dolls he created spread all over the world, becoming eyes and ears, and conveying all information.

 

"The number of dolls that the Master handles is roughly over a thousand, even if you count the publicly known ones."

 

"Of course, in reality, there will be more than that."

 

Parker added hurriedly.

 

The number of dolls officially counted by the Empire is exactly 1,085. All of them were controlled by the Guild Master, the only puppeteer in the empire. However, dolls are often broken and worn out quickly, and at the same time, they increase as much as the magician creates, so the exact number is veiled. It was difficult to say that the abilities of each doll were also different, so it was only at a certain level. In many ways, the puppeteer was a mysterious being.

 

Indeed, even as a leader of a huge guild called Ignis, the abilities he possessed were enormous.

 

On the spot, Estio took out the instruction book from the glass bottle and read it.

 

[  <Ignis Guild - Master: Leader Only Instructions>

 

*Venue: Levito Castle Central Market

 

*Time limit: 0:30:00

 

*Order: I will come to meet Master 'KAI' in the central market of Levito Castle within the time limit. The reward will be met. The order will automatically disappear after time passes, so please find it on time!

 

-From Master KAI. ]

 

As soon as I opened the paper, the written time limit turned red and started to flow. Lina, who was standing behind Estio, looked at the time that had decreased from 30 minutes to 29 minutes with a puzzled look.

 

"Magical type, huh?"

 

When Estio saw the letters moving on the paper for the first time, he couldn't take his eyes off of it and hardened. This is because it was a type of magic that was often used among the urban nobles, but it was a luxurious culture that could not even be imagined in the poor countryside.

 

"Zep. Anyway, it's really hard to understand the Master's thoughts. It's urgent, so you put a time limit on it. ...Wait? That's less than 30 minutes left, isn't it?"

 

In the meantime, Lina's mouth widened as she watched the time dwindling towards the 27th minute. Estio, who had her eyes fixed on the time limit display that was constantly flowing, responded a little slowly.

 

"Yes."

 

"Aigoo! I don't even have a chin."

 

"Is the road back that long?"

 

"Not like that."

 

Lina waved her hand with a moan.

 

"The central market of Levito Castle is very large. Even if you hit the big streets except the small streets, there are 8 directions, and the shops in each street are very complicated. There are a lot of people."

 

"Lina, that's a problem too, but actually, that's not the bigger problem."

 

Parker, who had been listening quietly, intervened with a dark face.

 

"Huh?"

 

"We don't know the Master's face."

 

For a moment, an uncomfortable silence fell over the botanical garden. Originally, it was a quiet botanical garden, but even the group of them kept their mouths shut, so nothing could be heard except for the occasional chirping of birds.

 

"Uh, that's right. Master mainly talks with dolls."

 

"Isn't that right? The only person in the guild who has met the Master directly is Madam Boogil."

 

The Ignis Guild Master was a very secretive existence. All that was known was that he was the only puppeteer in the Empire and the founder of Ignis, and even basic information such as name and gender was unknown.

 

All instructions were delivered through dolls, and the guild members who received the master's will spread to the world and carried out the quest. This was possible because there were high-level executives, including Vice Guild Master Fen Lensky, who could act on his behalf even if he did not appear under the light.

 

"I don't even know how old the guild was. I know that the guild was founded more than a hundred years ago. Opinions are divided as to whether the guild is not human or whether the Master position is secretly passed on. ."

 

Parker who said that was also a heterogeneous race. Joiners live 1.5 to 2 times longer than humans. Although the number of these races was small, most of them had a longer lifespan than humans, and in many cases they had special abilities that humans do not have.

 

So, even if the Guild Master was not human, it was not very surprising.

 

"...Then you don't have any features to find a Master?"

 

Estio, who opened his eyes from the time that had gone down 25 minutes, gave Parker and Lina a glance. The two of them scratched the back of their heads equally with embarrassed expressions.

 

"At the beginning, the imperial imperial family tried to find him, but he was not found. He doesn't know his first and last name, let alone his characteristics. It's not a wasteland, it's because he's looking for Uchi in the complicated central market."

 

"I call it 'Kai' for convenience, though."

 

Parker muttered with no energy, pointing to the title 'KAI' written in the order. Even though I was assigned a position to support the leader, I thought that it was not helpful, so my voice became quieter.

 

'Kai.'

 

Estio called out his name inwardly. It is a simple name that is easy to remember. It may not be his real name, but I thought that a title like that would be just right for a Master who somehow hides his identity and gives orders.

 

with a bang.

 

"Let's go to the Central Market."

 

The decision was quick. The moment the order was given, the test had already begun.

 

Estio didn't want to take a step, but stopped and looked back. The director, who nodded towards him and raised his gaze, gave a puzzled expression.

 

"Leader? Anything more to say?"

 

"All the plants in this Levito Botanical Garden thank you."

 

"......!"

 

Director Brün's eyes widened. What Estio was saying now was the answer to his curiosity, which he wanted to ask but could not get out of his mouth.

 

In the midst of this, the time limit was passing like a knife, but Estio continued talking without paying attention.

 

"Any plant that grows here likes you."

 

"I, really?"

 

"The ginkgo trees standing behind you, and the flowers that Neju stepped on."

 

The director bent over and touched the flower bed that had been arranged so as not to damage the stem with a trembling hand. The petals were crushed and crushed, but the flower itself was not dead yet, so I was about to take care of it and help it bloom again.

 

I had the illusion that a small whisper could be heard through the small, tender leaves.

 

Say 'thank you'.

 

"Because they want to tell you as much as you want to hear."

 

"Ah......."

 

"then."

 

Estio bowed his head politely and turned around again. A cool breeze blew through her dark hair in the summer sun. The messy dark hair felt like it had been blessed, so Director Brün looked at him blankly until the back of the guild leader disappeared.

 

Chapter 12 True or False

 

Estio was able to move quickly to the central market with Nezu's help. It was difficult to ride on the wide back covered with the fluffy fur of the white-haired monkey no matter how many times, but now it is manageable.

 

"Oh my God, that's why Mrs. Charlotte today..."

 

"Is this? Is there no benefit if I buy a necklace and earrings set?"

 

"Come on, the viewing is free! There is absolutely no charge for viewing, so please come in and see!"

 

The Levito Central Market was much more crowded than Estio had vaguely imagined, and was therefore noisy. All sorts of noises filled the room. Estio, who had stood in the crowd for a moment and was stunned, slowly rolled up his fists.

 

wow.

 

The shaking finally stopped only after holding her hand so tightly that it hurts.

 

For Estio, the market with such a large floating population was an area he wanted to turn around and get out of. It was not burdensome, and I even felt fear. It wasn't all the noise I could hear.

 

When I think of the thoughts and emotions of the people I see right in front of me, I can barely breathe.

 

'To find out who the guildmaster 'Kai' is among all these people.'

 

Dark blue eyes fluttered with a serious light.

 

'You should read it.'
