Episode 191 Learning (3)
Knock knock, knock!
A shallow cough broke out repeatedly.
Pernet, who had barely managed to stabilize his breathing, raised his head.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was so surprised…….”
Verden shrugged.
There was no need to apologize since I hadn't asked anyway.
“Thank you. So… why did the elf suddenly appear?”
“Well, to put it simply.”
Royal, Experimental, Elf, Unique Traits, Leonil Bertanas, etc.
Verden combined several keywords to give a concise explanation of the inside story. Of course, this alone was enough to understand the context.
Especially if it's information from Pernet.
widely.
Fernet put the coffee cup down on the table.
“So you’re saying that you secretly took the elf from the First Prince’s castle?”
“We killed the researchers and burned down the laboratory.”
"wow."
1. In a situation where the prince was wide awake, it was as if he had destroyed the bedroom. That bold action was beyond shocking and was admirable.
Let's not try to predict what he will do next.
The best thing to do is to simply accept reality as soon as you realize it. Ferné firmly resolved to himself.
“So you need Blue to restore that elf? The magic stone crafting is also related to that.”
"yes."
Verden looked up.
Blue was moving through the air without stopping. Emotions such as joy and longing could be felt through the magic.
'That's a normal reaction.'
Spirits have intelligence.
But we can't let our guard down.
Even though he may have deep feelings for the elf contractor and chased him all the way to the kingdom, it cannot be said that it was the same humanity that Verden knew.
Because spirits are not human, but heteromorphic.
It wouldn't be strange if he erased his feelings as if they had never happened. Right now, he seems to be on good terms with Fernet, but he could suddenly change and try to kill him.
That was the reason why the possible danger of spirits was eliminated by using a forced magic circle and call.
Still, it doesn't seem so unusual, considering how happy he is to hear news about elves.
'Fortunately, I don't have to revise the draft.'
If there was no response from Blue, I would have tried a different method.
Verden had once let down his guard and suspicions about the spirit that had tried to kill him.
There is nothing more to check now.
It's time to get down to business.
Verden stood up from his seat.
“Then come when you’re ready.”
“Oh, yes! But… is there anything else you would like to ask me? For example, information about Leonil.”
If we go in this direction, there is a high possibility that we will become enemies with Leonil.
6th tier magician.
He is the undisputed strongest man in the kingdom. There is no way Verden could overlook such a danger. That was what Fernet knew.
“It would be nice to get information about Leonil and the Court Magicians, but the risk is too great right now.”
Leonil and the royal family had no idea who was opposing them.
In such a situation, if you try to dig up the truth and get caught, you'll only end up making a fuss.
There's already a lot of work to do.
For now, we need to focus on the task at hand. That was Verden's choice.
Oh, and before you go.
“Stay still until I come back.”
This wasn't said to Fernet.
Blue, who had been flying in the air, stopped right there.
'You listen well.'
Verden left the tavern.
Fernet, who had been left behind, collapsed on the table. He couldn't stop sighing.
“Following the princes, the King of Estyria and Leonil… I just can’t figure out what’s going on in the Kingdom of Estyria.”
The strongest magician in the kingdom, Leonil Bertanas.
When he heard the name, Fernet wasn't all that surprised.
If the King of Estyria was up to something, Leonil would have been involved. The relationship between the court magicians and the royal family was that deep.
I just found out.
A great vortex had already been swirling within the kingdom for a long time, and when its aftermath leaked out, chaos would spread not only to Fernet himself, but throughout the kingdom.
'I should have moved to the duchy a long time ago.'
Ferné thought of Pale.
Damn old senior.
When he asked me to go with him, I pretended I couldn't win and followed him… … Honestly, I would have still left him in the kingdom.
Well, that's enough about regrets.

All the way.
Fernet, who had been stretching, stood up powerfully from his seat.
It was time to search through the piled up documents to find a suitable stoneworker. She gestured.
“Blue, can you help me?”
Twinkle… … .
Blue moved slowly.
I told him to be quiet, but he reacted like that.
'You really listen well.'
Who would believe that there is such a cute heteromorph in the world?
Ferné let out a small laugh.
* * *
Verden sketched out the blueprints in the inn before going to bed.
And as soon as the morning sun rose, we got ready and headed to the entrance of Sloan Forest.
Although it was a busy schedule, it was not burdensome.
If there was a problem with the progress from the beginning, the other one would have been put on hold for a while. Verden knew his own abilities well.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the meeting place.
It was the early morning hours, before the sun had fully risen, and Gelton was already there waiting. With his skillful flying skills, he landed in front of him.
“Good morning, Asher.”
“You’re early.”
“Haha, I was really nervous. I woke up in the middle of it and couldn’t go back to sleep.”
Gelton scratched his head as if embarrassed.
His heart, which had broken the frame of the magic tower, was filled with anticipation. He could still see the sparkling eyes within his hazy eyes.
'Hmm, this isn't the time to be so happy.'
Verden opened his mouth to say something, then closed it.
We'll find out soon anyway.
Even if you give advice, it won't be listened to properly. Right now, one experience is more important than a hundred words.
“Then follow me.”
"yes!"
Verden led the way into the Sloan Forest.
Gelton followed him with powerful steps.
And after a while.
“AAAAAHHHH!!”
Gelton's scream echoed through the forest.
* * *
Gelton has only learned theory from Verden so far.
The process of destroying the wrongly built knowledge and building a new tower of knowledge was extremely painful mentally.
So much so that I wanted to escape from reality.
But now I've overcome it.
He declared that he would no longer be obsessed with the illusion of a magic tower. Gelton, who had declared such a determination, opened up his theory book for the first time in a long while the day before the new teachings began.
“Oh……!”
It was a feeling that was hard to describe.
I began to understand theories that I had previously been unable to accept, and I didn't even feel any resistance. I can't believe how much things have changed just by making up my mind.
It was a daunting change for Gelton himself.
There are no obstacles now.
He will break the wall, reach the fifth rank, and become a great comrade. Gelton had a firm confidence in his heart.
But adversity soon arrived.
It was just pain.
“AAAAAHHHH!!”
Gelton fell down on the grass.
The sharp pain of needles stabbing his magic circuit filled his entire body. Dust clung to his clothes.
Verden approached.
“Are you okay?”
“You, you’re so sick…….”
“Please bear with it. There’s no way to break the frozen magic circuit with the ice and water properties.”
The magic circuit is dependent on talent and adaptation.
When you are not biased towards a certain series or attribute, you can handle various attributes, but as you progress, you will inevitably become biased towards the magic of the appropriate series or innate attribute.
It is common sense in the magical world that magic that does not match one's talent cannot advance beyond the first level.
There have been many who have tried to break such a concept, but none of them have been able to overcome its limitations. The unchanging fact soon becomes a law.
That's why multiple continuity theory is special.
Because through hard work, I was able to overcome areas that I had thought were impossible and that I had no doubt were determined solely by talent.
Although it was limited to elemental magic, it was more than enough to send shivers down the spine of the magical world.
'But only a very small number of people put the theory into practice.'
The theory of multiple continuities is a milestone.
A theoretical book for adapting magic circuits to new elemental properties more safely and systematically.
As groundbreaking as it is, it does have its drawbacks.
First, it is difficult.
Because it was created using extremely difficult theory books as accessories, there are countless magicians who cannot understand and apply it.
If you want to acquire talent through effort, you need to study accordingly. This is where about half of the challengers turn their heads.
And second, it's painful.
Using incompatible magic is extremely painful.
In terms of maximum pain intensity, it is higher than cutting open your intestines with a knife. If you try too hard, your magical circuits may become overloaded or suffer irreversible damage.
Modern wizards avoid pain.
In such a situation, there are few people who are willing to take on big risks and develop their talents. In that case, it would be better to develop the talents that they already have.
“Actually, it is effective. And most of the challengers who realize that fact give up. To be honest, it is ridiculous. You have the opportunity to grab something you didn’t have, but you throw it away because it is difficult. Isn’t that right?”
“Ugh……!”
Gelton touched the ground.
He stood up from his seat, dripping with cold sweat. His face was bulging with blood vessels all over his body, and he looked like he was on the verge of fainting, but his resolve was still stronger than the pain.
“In this way, I will operate the magic circuit under my leadership in the morning and change it. Then, when I return to Acern, I will give a theoretical lecture, and leave the rest of the time to self-directed learning.”
“Ugh, ugh…….”
“It will be much more painful than it is now. So, be strong.”
Giving up is not acceptable.
Because I have no intention of tolerating the pledge to abandon the rooftop being thrown away like an old shoe.
Verden approached.
Instinctively, Gelton shivered.
The magical power held in his fingers directed the direction of Gelton's magical circuits.
"start."
Whoa whoa whoa.
Gelton gritted his teeth and moved his magic power.
It hurts so much that I can't even speak, but I can't believe this pain is worse. I was scared, but… … I had no choice.
It's spilt milk.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
Gelton screamed and fell down.
Did you faint?
I don't think I'm immune to pain as much as I thought… … Well, I can understand that much. I'll probably wake up in about 10 minutes.
'I guess I'll make a blueprint by then.'
He lay down under a nearby tree.
I waited quietly for the trainee to wake up, lost in thought.
Verden is the founder of the theory of multiple continuities.
Since you are directly in charge of teaching, there is no such thing as failure. There will be no aftereffects.
The expected training period is only three weeks.
Even that can be shortened or lengthened depending on Gelton's efforts.
Still, one thing was clear.
This is the only place in the world where you can get results like this.
Gelton Rodney.
He was lucky.
“Ugh… Ugh….”
I don't know if this moment will become a memory or a nightmare in the future.
* * *
About a week has passed.
Gelton was completely different from before.
Not in terms of her mentality, but in terms of her appearance. Her face was getting more and more haggard day by day, to the point where Pernet was worried.
But there is no problem.
His eyes were overflowing with the fire of a morning star. He was the passionate and enthusiastic spirit of a wizard who had just learned magic for the first time.
As the pain increased, the frequency of fainting increased.
As such, Gelton grew rapidly day by day. He learned the theory, asked questions about anything he didn't know, and went back to the inn to review.
It was proof that the determination was not just empty words.
Verden spent the rest of his time locked in his room.
There were drawings full of elaborate magic circles scattered all around. In the center of them, Verden was busy moving his hands.
and.
“……It’s complete.”
A blueprint consisting of a total of six magic circles.
The geometrical patterns were engraved on it in a way that was impossible to trace. Now, all that was left was to carve this into the desired shape of the magic stone.
Verden wiped the sweat with the back of his hand.
I was tired, but not so tired that I couldn't move. I grabbed the blueprint and headed straight to Fernet's tavern.
Fernet making a cocktail.
Across from her counter was a man who had lived a rough life.
Verden frowned.
“……Strangely, every time I come here, I run into a familiar face.”
The man flinched at the sound of that voice.
He slowly turned his head and came face to face with Verden.
“What’s going on here?”
“Don’t misunderstand, I’m not here to collect the money you owe me. It was Fernet who called you.”
Bartol, the wholesaler.
He who lent 220 million elk to Verden raised his hand firmly.
