A Sutherland Bigwig On a Carriage Ride’s Side

“Good grief, why do we have to take care of such menial tasks? We’re court magicians; it’s beneath our station! We should just leave that work to the adventurers.”

“Unfortunately, we don’t have a choice, Lord Orvalt. Let’s think of this as yet another display of our esteemed Sutherland school’s prestige.”

Orvalt Sutherland—a court magician and the heir of the Sutherland earldom—was riding back from the dungeon near the royal capital.

The dungeons in the Lawbyle kingdom were all relatively stable, only producing a stampede on very rare occasions. Nevertheless, they couldn’t be left alone all the time if everyone wanted to keep the stampede rate that low. As such, knights and court magicians were periodically sent to the dungeons, where they would spend a few days orchestrating a cull. Not only did it allow them to level up, but they were also entitled to keep all of the monster loot and treasures they found, meaning that the court magicians could use them for their research or sell them to merchants. This provided an excellent source of revenue for the kingdom.

Still, Olvart found such tasks deathly boring—hence his foul mood. He settled on watching the scenery from the window when he noticed a black shadow passing above the carriage. Looking up, he saw that it was some sort of flying carpet. The thing was fast, passing all of the carriages on the road in seconds. Olvart couldn’t believe his eyes. But what shocked him even more was the fact that a girl wearing the robes of the Sutherland magic school—his magic school—was riding on that carpet.

“What’s that?” he asked his retainer. But the man didn’t know either and simply shook his head without a word.

The knight who was sharing their carriage, on the other hand, seemed to have an inkling.

“I’ve heard rumors about a little girl zooming past a caravan on her flying carpet before. I thought it was baseless gossip, but it looks like it might’ve actually been true.”

“What?!” Orvalt needed to know more. “Tell me everything you know!”

“I don’t know anything else,” the knight said. “I told you; I thought it was just pointless hearsay, so I didn’t look into it any further. It must be some sort of magic item from a big dungeon somewhere,” he said, shrugging.

Orvalt clicked his tongue in annoyance and thought back on the flying carpet that had since disappeared on the horizon. It was quite common to find magic items in dungeons. Of course, you had your magic swords and other weapons, but there were also a bunch of handy tools and other peculiar trinkets in there. Studying these things and trying to find ways to replicate them so they could be mass-produced was actually one of the court magicians’ many tasks.

“I want one of those,” Orvalt said.

The Sutherland magic school specialized in Wind Magic, and they often sent their apprentices to work on merchant ships and warships, where they would provide propulsion. This contributed greatly to turning
