Chapter 335: 335
Luke teleported directly to the city hall of Lamer city .
When Luke suddenly appeared in the office, Pavel, who was seated there asked with surprise .
“Uh, Lord . Why did you come here all of a sudden…?”
“I will explain it to you later . You should come with me right now . ”
“Huh? Where are we going…?”
Luke once again triggered the teleport spell before Pavel could even ask a question .
It took him about 3 minutes to go to Lamer and pick up Pavel .
Meanwhile, Belik was looking over at the crystal ball while biting on the jerky brought in by the Red Wolf knights .
-What? You came back? I thought that you ran away . Huh!
Belik opened his eyes wide when he saw the old man next to Luke .
It was because the man was someone very familiar to him .
“Y-you are…?”
Pavel was the one who was first to recognize the man .
His hair was grey and had wrinkles on his face, but the impression he gave was so strong that one couldn’t recognize him .
“Aren’t you Viscount Belick?! I guess you are not dead since I am seeing you alive!”
Pavel’s welcoming voice shook Belik to the present .
-Sir Pavel, are you still alive?
“Huhuhu! Obviously I am . Even if I die, I will see through that the princess gets married…”
-Wait a second, Sir . Did you just say, princess? Belik asked with amazement .
“I did . The princess grew up and is now in Holy…”
“Wait, Sir Pave! There is a risk of interception, so it is better to not talk about it . ”
When Luke pointed it out, Pavel ended what he was saying there .
It was then that Belik jumped out with frustration .
-Sir! Why are you not talking anymore? And you, you kid! How dare you scare Sir Pavel . When I see you, I will smash you…!

When Belik began to get angry, Pavel stopped him .
“Sir Belik, don’t act rude to him . ”
-Why shouldn’t I?
“Because he is the princess’s lover . ”
-W-what did you say?!
Whether he could believe it or not, Belik’s mouth was left hanging .
Seeing that Belik was flustered, Luke shot back at him .
“Hu hu hu! Kay, now do you see why I pretended to be your son?”
-Uh, what does that even…
Belik just shook his head not knowing what to say .
“There is something I need to speak with the deputy Lord, so move . ”
-… Understood .
At the request of Luke, Belik, with a blunt expression, backed off, and after a while, Dixon appeared into the room .
Belik, in his invasion of the lordship, was injured here and there, and there was a bruise on his eye .
However, he almost resembled the panda beasts that were imported from the southern continent for sightseeing purposes, and Luke spoke without his knowledge .
“Dixon . ”
-Yes, go on Lord .
“Is the long-distance teleport gate that I asked to be built, completed?”
-Thanks to the wizards sent by the Lord, it was built without any delays .
A long-distance teleport gate .
It was a high ranking magic circle that could move people or supplies over 500 kilometers at once .
It was convenient as row teleport spells didn’t have to be used . However, the initial setup and the cost was so great, and an 8th circle wizard had to be the one to activate it .
An elder wizard of one of the top 10 Magic Towers could be the ones to make it, and above all, the operating costs were so expensive that most of the kingdoms abandoned the practice of installing them .
Currently, the Baroque Empire and the Holy Arthenia Empire are the only ones on the continent to use them .

In the case of Luke, he had prepared the teleport gates in case of an emergency connecting from the Albertville and Jason estates and Lamer city and the estate of Rakan .
To do that, the wizards of Katarina Magic Tower and the Dark Moon moved in secret drawing circles after Luke had already placed the major circle .
-But, are you going to use it?
“Yeah, that is how I can meet with Sir Belik as soon as possible . ”
Dixon jumped up at the casual response from Luke .
-You can’t! Lord, you know this better than anyone on how much mana will be taken away with just one use of it!
When long-distance teleport gates are activated, the life of the one who is moving will deplete rapidly due to the rapid mana deposition .
More than 100 intermediate magic stones and higher magic stones that were built for the magic circle would get destroyed when it was in use .
In addition, if the caster’s ability was insufficient, the magic would fail and the magic stones wouldn’t be usable once again .
In the point of Dixon, who manages the finance, ‘Spirit Stones is equal money’, so he wanted to prevent Luke from throwing away fortune worth of magic stones .
However, Luke ignored Dixon’s request .
“I am going to cast magic from my side too, so be ready by 6 tomorrow morning . ”
-Lord!
“If things go wrong, you will have to take the blame . ”
At Luke’s stern expression, Dixon wasn’t able to understand what Luke was even thinking about . However, the only answer he could give was a nod .
-Uh, understood . I will do as you please .
From Luke’s standpoint, it wasn’t too much of a risk .
It was because he knew how to regenerate the unrefined magic of the magic stones due to mana sedimentation .
And there was nothing difficult about it, except for using a little of a human’s blood and drawing magic circles .
‘Would casting magic be the problem?’
Luke was already an 8th circle warlock .
Using Magi, he could also use high-level white magic, so long range teleport wasn’t a problem for him .
However, after being reincarnated, it was going to be his first time to perform such tricky high-level magic, and he was nervous to use a huge amount of magi .
If he made any mistake, they would know that the source of his power wasn’t mana but magi .
‘It will be fine . I haven’t made any mistake till now . ’
Though he was divided between the use of dark and white magic, magic was originally one .
So, theoretically, it might be possible for him to use his current white magic into magi .
However, since both mana and magi have unique properties in there, it was natural that they would repel .
However, unlike warlocks and demons, the Magi that made Luke’s Black Circle was very refined, being close to aether .
White magic could be usable, and it wasn’t like he had never used dark magic in front of people either .
And he did it in the Holy Empire too .
‘Yeah, if I don’t learn to believe in myself, who will?!’
Luke decided to be more confident in his white magic .
The areas where he would have to use magic would be endless in the future .

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.

Poké Oneshots [Requests Temporarily Closed]
This is a small collection of oneshots that I either wrote for myself, or other people have requested. Requests are my top priority, so when you request, that comes immediately before anything that I happen to be writing for myself. Sometimes it may take me a while to publish the chapter you request, because the requests can back up a little bit.Requesting a scenario helps me form ideas a little faster, but if there's nothing in particular that you want to see, then I'll try my best to portray a good chapter from my viewpoint of the ship.You can absolutely request any ship that you want. There's a lot of oneshot collections out there who only do requests if it's a ship that they ship, but I know how hard it is to find stories for a ship that you like sometimes.Ships I'll probably inlude when writing for myself are:SpecialshippingNamelessshipping OldrivalshippingMangaquestshippingSoulsilvershippingFranticshippingAgencyshippingSequelshippingGreyskyshippingKalosshippingTwinleafshippingDualrivalshippingChessshippingFerriswheelshippingEntourageshippingCorruptedshippingBlacksoulshippingMalasadashippingLaverreshipping(You can request a ship and/or scenario)(I don't do ships from the anime, sorry (。ヘ°))
