[The three masks come together and regain their true form.]
[You have completed Crown Of Solomon.]
[The abilities of the Golden Mask are unified into one.]
[As the crown regains its original form, its original abilities increase to a certain extent.]
A bright gold mine fills the interior of the barracks, and a small crown appears within it.
A crown completed by combining three masks into one.
It was a crown about the size of a fist at most.
Let alone an adult, even a newborn baby would not be able to wear such a small crown on his head.
Ugh-.
The crown shook its body.
It seemed as if he was protesting that there was no need to wear it on his head.
Moreover, he is floating in the air with his own power.
‘Is it a summoning artifact? … .’
As long as it is summoned, it hovers around the owner at any time and exerts its function.
That kind of artifact.
It was then.
Russell, who was staring at the crown, suddenly felt a strange sensation.
Keying-.
With a tinnitus, Russell covered his face with his palm.
‘From earlier… … What is this?’
A strange feeling, as if you were split into two.
What was even more surprising was that the existence of another self, divided in this way, could be felt through the crown.
‘no way… … .’
Russell hurriedly closed his eyes at the fact that flashed into his mind.
With my eyes closed, I developed the formula.
Wow-.
Since I had no intention of using magic, I did not use any magical power in particular. Calculation of simple formulas.
The vast and deep formula of Go Circle magic expands rapidly in your mind.
Meanwhile, Russell smiled faintly and raised the corners of his mouth.
‘also.’
While calculations were being made at high speed, I felt a presence assisting the calculations.
Feeling its presence, Russell gazed at the small crown floating in front of him.
‘Self, no. Should we call it differentiation of consciousness?’
Just as I first felt, the feeling that my consciousness was split in two was not an illusion.
In fact, part of his consciousness was divided and existed inside the crown to help calculate the formula.
It was then. When the calculation of the formula is completed, keying-.
The strong tinnitus flowed in.
‘Ugh.’
Russell let out a groan and lowered his head. It was because she suddenly felt intense dizziness.
Along with that, a notification was heard from the crown.
[All of the inherent consciousness has been consumed.]
[The function of the crown is reduced by a certain amount.]
Consumption of inherent mental power and decline in function. Russell lifted his head from his lowered position as he organized the key keywords in the notification.
“Grunt—.”
I guessed step by step what happened.
‘The computational assistance function is still there, but it’s definitely not as good as before.’
Moreover, the feeling of being two people has long since disappeared.
What if the reason is related to the alarm I just heard?
‘Is it an artifact that stores part of the consciousness in the crown and can use it when needed?’
If you think that way, the previous situation fits perfectly.
Even though I only calculated one formula, all of my inherent consciousness was consumed.
‘It must have been for that reason.’
The amount of consciousness stored in the crown would not have been very large.
Of course, this is still only a hypothesis, and it was necessary to conduct some experiments to be sure.
‘First, let’s start with the storage of consciousness… … .’
So for a while.
Russell, who had gone through several experiments, including trying to inject magic into the crown, nodded.
‘A concept closer to backup than storage of consciousness… … .’
Methods for preventing magic that affects the mind, including curses, were also roughly guessed.
Of course, since it claims to be one of Solomon’s pieces, it will basically provide a high-quality mental barrier.
‘Nevertheless, if the mind is contaminated, the consciousness that was normally backed up is overlaid on that part.’
Of course, this is also just a guess. I couldn’t be sure.
In the first place, not only is mental pollution itself not something that can be tested on one’s own… … .
‘… … It’s not something you can experience that easily.’

It might be a curse on the body.
Because a curse applied directly to the mind was not something that ordinary cultists could use.
‘For now, I can only be satisfied with the fact that I have a decent artifact.’
As the masks were combined into one, there was no need to cumbersomely hang all three.
Thinking like that, Russell slowly leaned back.
I lay down on the bed.
‘for now… … .’
It was time to focus on recovery.
* * *
Murmurs were heard here and there, and in the midst of it, exclamations came out.
“her-.”
Among those huddled together, it was Hubert’s voice.
I let out an exclamation and moved my surprised eyes around for a while. Soon he asked Russell.
“It was surprising that he woke up after just 10 days, but I never thought he would move so well after 5 days.”
In his eyes, the image of Russell moving around is reflected.
Crack, cluck, cluck.
Every time I relax my joints and muscles, my bones resound lightly.
‘hmm.’
15 days since then.
This was how long it took for Russell to fully recover.
This is more than twice as fast as the military doctor’s diagnosis, which predicted that it would take about a month just to get out of bed.
Alan Page asked Russell with a worried expression.
“Are you really okay? “Lord Russell?”
“of course.”
In response to his question, Russell nodded and moved his body around.
At the same time, he raised his magical power and cast magic.
Hahahaha!
Dozens of magic arrows made up of flames, thunderbolts, rocks, and thunderbolts fill the area, painting it with a variety of colors.
Not only the clean, flowing operation of magical power, but also surprisingly fast magic casting speed!
It was an appearance that could never be seen unless the body was fully recovered.
“Hahaha!”
Vermilion burst into laughter at that sight.
“After all, he is a priest. “I have a very strong body, so I guess it’s all thanks to working out hard on a regular basis!”
He stood up, looked at Russell and the other two people in turn, and muttered.
“In contrast, you… … “It looks like you need to train your body a bit.”
Hubert laughed bitterly at those words, and Alan Page made a subtle expression.
Even if we put aside the correlation between physical training and abnormally fast recovery, both of them had trained their bodies to some extent.
Moreover, unlike Hubert, who trained his body through light exercise, Alan also learned an art called jujutsu in the East.
That was also why Alan Page’s face became subtle.
‘Of course, it is nothing compared to Sir Russell, who was trained like a knight… … .’
Beyond that, I didn’t even dare to compare him to Vermilion, who had grown muscles like a bear.
I don’t know if I know Alan’s thoughts.
“Sniff!”
Vermilion snorted and said as he stood in front of Russell.
“The priest seems to be in pretty good shape, so would you like to have some sparring? “I’m going to rehabilitate my body and not use magic.”
An expression that shows that his whole body is itching to use his body right away. Russell asked, facing Vermillion.
“It doesn’t matter to me… … .”
He said with a shocked expression.
“Are you okay with the death penalty?”
Unlike himself, who had fully recovered from his physical injuries, Vermillion was still wearing a splint on his broken arm.
In addition, wasn’t the chest tightly compressed with a bandage to fix the ribs?
“Hehehe.”
Vermilion laughed darkly at Russell’s concern. She then slammed her splinted arm against a nearby rock.
bang!
With the explosion, not only the splint but also the entire rock explodes.
Coo coo coo coo-.
Stone dust and dust are flying everywhere.
“Ugh, keuhmm.”
Hubert, who drank it out of nowhere, frowned and took a few steps back.
“Well, it still feels a little creaky, but at this level it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
Who would have thought that he would smash a rock with his splinted arm to show off his health.
Should I call this cool or outrageous? He then moved his neck and waist roughly.
Crack, cluck, cluck.
Every time, the sound of bones… … , No, the sound of muscles leaks out horribly.
“… … “If you say so.”
Russell laughed bitterly at the sight that seemed to proclaim, ‘I am fine.’
‘There are degrees of being a man.’
Russell clicked his tongue and adjusted his posture.
“There is no need to change the location. Sniff.”
As a top-level mage, there would have been a lot of things to pay attention to if he was fighting using magic.
But now, sparring is done purely using the body.
The result of the surrounding area being devastated like a magic war would not have occurred.
Just like now, a large vacant lot located on one side of the military camp was sufficient.
Cheekcheok.
The two people stood facing each other, and Hubert stepped between them.
It was to see the judgment.
“Then, can we say that the one whose back touches the ground first loses?”
“of course.”
“I’m fine too.”
Since they both agreed, now all they have to do is start sparring.
“Then let’s get started… … !?”
Just as Hubert was about to signal, a commotion spread.
The soldiers on duty at the entrance and watchtower of the military camp were buzzing.
“I guess something happened.”
“hmm. Most of the monsters in the canyon have already been subdued, so it wouldn’t be an attack. What’s going on… … ?”
“I think it would be better to postpone the sparring for a while.”
Tilting their heads, the four wizards simultaneously used floating magic, wow!
It flew up into the air.
I looked in the direction where the commotion came from.
As you fly up to a certain height, you begin to see the sight beyond the wooden fence.
“That… … .”
A group of people riding horses toward the 7th Legion.
They were all wearing identical uniforms, underneath the light armor that protected their bodies.
In the hand of one of them was a red flag embroidered with the royal family symbol.
“A red flag signifying urgent dispatch, and a knight-level person as a messenger?”
“Are you saying the Empire invaded?”
The faces of the four mages turned cold at the sight of the messenger, who was practically announcing a war situation.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Meanwhile, people carrying flags arrived at the 7th Corps.
Ten minutes later.
The general commander, Niccolo Machiavelli, summoned all personnel dispatched from the royal capital to the command barracks.
Something unusual was happening.
