21st Century Archmage
Chapter 170: You’re All Dead if You Mess Around
“What? Whaaat?!!”
“H-How…”
A barrage of shocked exclamations followed my words.
“Do you mean those words in earnest right now?”
“T-The distance from here to there is so far, how in the world will you cast Warp? Thats ridiculous…”
Seeing me remain silent with a grin, they went wild.
“Kyre-nim…”
Unlike Countess Irene, who was standing there wordlessly with her arms crossed, the Bajran Imperial Knights were sputtering in disbelief. Hyneth was staying silent, having already gotten a promise out of me. Unlike her, Princess Igis didnt know anything. She quietly called my name.
“Hyung, is a long-distance Warp really possible? Wow! That sounds like so much fun!”
Only the kiddo Razcion jumped up and down with excitement.
“Count Kyre, were you being serious just now?” asked Irene. These days, she blushed just from seeing me, but right now, she was being serious. She was asking me this question as the head leader protecting the Bajran imperial line.
“Princess Igis, you cant believe me?”
“…I do. If you say that its possible, Kyre-nim, then it must be so.”
Igis sky blue eyes were full of absolute trust, as if I were some kind of religious cult leader.
‘Of course you should believe me.
I wasnt just some random stranger, but the person who would take responsibility for her for a lifetime, so itd be a real problem if she couldnt believe me.
“Kyre, no, Lord of Nerman. Is it really possible? I didnt think there were any upper-circle mages here…”
Rothello, who was widely rumored to be visiting a tavern near Denfors in cahoots with Ryker these days, asked me once again, his eyes narrowed.
“If you cant believe my words, I wont press the issue. I recommend you either cross through the war-embroiled Bajran Empire or return along the Litore Mountains… if you have an friendly truce with the Temir, that is.”
Hearing my unswerving voice, everyone shut up.
“Everyone must take their wyverns with them. Is that also possible?”
As was befitting a leader, Irene pinpointed the core problem.
“Ill Warp the people first, then move the wyverns one by one. Also, you cannot take any airplates and wyvern armor with you.”
I was confidently forging ahead, but my confidence didnt extend to airplates and wyvern armor. There was a chance, as small as it was, that the magic crystals embedded in them could cause mana interference. If that happened, I couldnt guarantee the safety of the Warp.
“Tonight, when the moon has risen to the middle of the sky, please gather on the terrace in front of my room.”
The magic array was ready to go, but I needed time to say my goodbyes.
‘I have to return quickly this time.
If one was going to help, it was wise to do it properly. I wasnt a fan of doing things half-heartedly, where it couldnt really be called “helping.”
“Well then, I will see you all shortly.”
I nodded to everyone inside the meeting room in my mansion, where Silence was constantly active, and left the room.
They were the ones who had more to lose from playing it safe than me. It might be dangerous, but they would have no choice but to do as I commanded.

“Please have a safe trip.”
I traveled to the Elven Village to see Narmias, who didnt know much about matters of the human world. When I told her, the woman who held a spot of constant remorse in my heart, that I had to leave the territory for a while, she responded with a smile.
“Narmias.”
“Yes?”
Her blue, mountain lake-like eyes grew round at my call.
