Chapter 108
There was no memory of inventory magic in Hetherson’s brain. Rockefeller relayed this fact to Arkandric.
“The royal family will be quite disappointed,” Arkandric clicked his tongue, clearly dissatisfied. Rockefeller offered some words of consolation.
“From the start, there was doubt whether such magic even existed, wasn’t there?”
Fraud runs rampant in the magical world. If someone wasn’t even a proper mage, it was even worse. There were countless people who fooled ignorant commoners just to raise their own prestige.
“There were always suspicious aspects. During his time as a spy, he never showed that magic to anyone. And even those who claimed to have witnessed it were mostly people who had no connection to magic. So, I suspect he might have manipulated it with illusion magic, something like this.”
Rockefeller used a materialization spell to create a pen, mimicking the scene of it entering a pocket dimension. Since it was all fake, the reproduced image was nothing more than an illusion. Still, it was convincing enough that Arkandric hummed in agreement.
“Hmm, it could certainly fool the eye.”
“He’s a con artist. His understanding of magic is exceptional, but his arrogance knows no bounds. I suspect he did it to gain attention from the scholars at the magic tower.”
Arkandric picked up the pen.
