Episode 128
I neither confirmed nor denied it, but I was confident that this guess was correct.
It was Lise herself who had just said that she had insight into curses, demonic contracts, and necromancy.
In addition, Assad once said something in passing.
– What I protect is the main residence and the central part of the forest. The manager where you are now is someone else.
– Who is that?
– Lycerradigos.
– If I am the guardian of the outside of the family, he is the guardian of the back. He is also a forest keeper and librarian of the underground library.
“When I think about it now, it was a place that was puzzling in many ways. I think the wizard may have spread magic throughout the support area… … .”
Otherwise, no matter how late the night was, there would be no way for the undead to wander around Badnicker’s headquarters.
If Lise was also the family’s guardian, the undead would have been on our side given the circumstances at the time.
Reese, who noticed the church’s invasion, sent reinforcements of her own.
I opened my mouth with the feeling of winning.
“You didn’t use any more magic than that.”
“More magic than that?”
Rise, who had been silent, was the first to ask.
I continued speaking carefully, looking beyond the wizard’s hair and directly into his covered eyes.
“It means that you did not set the spell to be large enough to encompass this entire mansion or the forest. Instead, it was Assad who actually formed a barrier in the forest.”
Kwaang… … !
At that moment, a thick book passed by the tip of my ear.
I realized it had no intention of attacking and didn’t dodge, but even taking that into account, it was incredibly fast.
So much so that if I hadn’t been tensing my body, I wouldn’t have been able to react at all.
“Never again… … .”
Reese said in a rough voice.
“In front of me… Don’t mention that disgusting bastard’s name. Do you understand?”
“… “Excuse me.”
Aren’t you on good terms with Assad?
Now that I think about it, it seemed like I heard that they didn’t get along well.
I didn’t know that their relationship was this twisted.
– Speaking of the barrier formed in the forest, you think most of the family members set it up to control monsters, right? Actually not.
– Because of Lycerradigos. It’s like sealing and monitoring that guy.
‘ah.’
is it.
‘Lise was sealed here.’
And it is Assad who either personally sealed it or is watching it.
At this point, it’s almost strange that we get along so well.
“Oh my.”
“It’s Luan.”
Still, even though I was over 30 during my Yeongsan days, I find it uncomfortable to keep hearing the title ‘I’.
“Yes, Luan. “Do you know anything about magic?”
“What does it mean?”
“The reason that disgusting bastard was able to form a barrier in the forest was not because his skills were particularly outstanding. It’s thanks to the relics hidden throughout the forest. Do you think our wizard doesn’t know the way you said it and therefore won’t use it? “You’re talking about him without mentioning his biggest problem.”
Of course, I know the problem that Rise is talking about.
“It’s inefficient.”
Lise said.
“Casting a spell on this entire crypt is not that difficult for me, but it is a difficult task even for most wizards. Of course, if it were me, I could cast a spell on the entire mansion. Unless that obnoxious recluse intervenes. But the whole forest? Do you know how wide [Butterfly Forest] is?”
“… … .”
“What you said is impossible even for a seven-colored mage.”
“I guess so.”
“… “Are you trying to play with this body?”
Rise spoke in a subdued voice, but I spoke without being intimidated.
“Excuse me, wizard, but do you discuss efficiency even in the face of nature?”
“what?”
“When heavy rain or snow blows, nature doesn’t distinguish between where it should fall and where it shouldn’t.”
“Do you want to have a question and answer with Lyserradigos about the principles of nature and logic?”
“It can’t be. Don’t you think that if we can apply the flow of nature to magic, we can escape the logic of efficiency?”
“… … .”
Rise seemed to be looking at me blankly and then blurted out.
“It doesn’t seem to mean simply accepting mana and processing it.”
“The mana contained in the mountains and sea is almost unlimited. No matter how great a wizard he is, he wouldn’t be able to contain even a ten-thousandth of that. “As long as you can fully use that mana, the size of the magic doesn’t matter anymore.”
“It’s not worth responding to. “Your theory is no different from saying that you will destroy your enemies with naturally occurring storms or tsunamis.”
“It’s completely different. I’m not talking about praying to God or leaving it to heaven. This is a skill that can be honed, and in fact, it is closer to an academic field than that.”
Then Rise spoke in an absurd voice.
“Scholarship? “Didn’t you say you would teach me magic?”
“Isn’t magic also called sorcery?”
After spitting it out shamelessly, he continued.
“Ignorant people say that there are no laws or regulations in nature. In fact, it’s the opposite. Nowhere are rules more thoroughly prioritized than in nature. However, it is simply too large and complex to be understood by human insight. “The field I want to talk about is.”
“… … .”

“Interpreting the cycle of nature or the principles of all things and then using the laws.”
I finished speaking while looking at Lise.
“That is Gimundungap (奇門遁甲).”
– The root of Gimun transformation lies in defense.
The second sister-in-law, who was a master at changing the shape of a sword, said as she touched the iron wire.
– The goal of those who created this in the first place is basically to reach the state of immortals and gods through fables and deungseon.
– aha.
– In other words, the starting point is to artificially manipulate the terrain to create an environment that does not interfere with training.
Actually, what I’m talking about right now isn’t really the truth.
At least the wizards of this world would inevitably be quite shocked.
It is a shock that cannot but be caused by differences in environment, not differences in knowledge.
Of course, the continent where magic was created and the world where magic was created are completely different.
There are numerous differences that cannot be identified simply because it is a place where people live.
Conflicts and strife continue on the continent.
Dozens of races crowded the vast land, and if you include derived races, the number is several times that number.
Since they all have their own individual histories and cultures, conflict is bound to continue.
Although it has only now entered a period of stability due to the common enemy called the Church and the only nation on the continent.
So, no matter what the starting point of the field of magic was, it eventually developed in a direction that pursued destruction.
On the contrary, the starting point of the transformation is the mindset to avoid conflict.
I learned the basics of this from my second sister-in-law, and I would have been quite surprised if she had taught me about the magic system of this world.
I thought RiSe would do the same.
“… … .”
The silence is longer than expected.
Because of the still unpleasant hair, I couldn’t even see the eyes, let alone the face.
I want to guess what he’s thinking, but I can’t because his face is covered.
But I regarded this silence as a positive sign.
I can tell just by looking at that they didn’t throw me into the stone room right away.
After a while, Rise spoke.
“… “The flow of mana distributed in nature is slightly twisted to create a formula, and the situation is manipulated to the user’s advantage.”
It may be a more accurate word for composition than manipulation, but considering that Riese is a wizard, it is not an absurdity.
Surprisingly, in this short moment, Lise interpreted the magic from a magician’s perspective.
“That’s right.”
“impossible.”
Rise paused for a moment, then repeated it as if she was trying to convince herself.
“okay. “It’s impossible.”
“What is it?”
“What do you think is the reason for accepting mana into the body? To handle it as you wish. Mana that is not stored in the body cannot be processed, and mana that has not been processed cannot be processed. “This is an absolute law.”
“It’s not about dealing with it. “It’s about using it.”
“Is there a difference in that?”
Somehow, I felt like Riise’s tone of voice had softened somewhat.
I nodded and continued speaking.
“What if we accept mana but don’t process it? “Using the body as a conduit for natural mana to pass through.”
“Just using it as a passageway? What does it mean? If you don’t arrange the mana in a certain order, nothing happens. “It means there will be no magic happening.”
“It’s not processed, it’s just arranged. It’s not impossible. For example, if you limit the outlet to your finger and then move it, wouldn’t you be able to rearrange the mana like painting with a brush?”
Actually, I was a little confused as I spoke.
This was because I had to replace and explain the concepts of energy and magic that I originally knew, based on the mana and magic of this world.
“The mana left in the air like that will soon dissipate.”
“So, the most important thing when using a technique is the environment. For example, in a place with thick fog, the spatial density is high, so the scattered mana will not move easily. “The same goes for dense forests and the sea.”
This is also the reason why the dwellings of ancestors were mainly located deep in nature, untouched by humans.
“Then, if you destroy the environment itself, that technique will naturally dissolve.”
“That’s true, but what’s the point of trapping someone in a maze if he can collapse a mountain in the first place?”
At some point, the conversation between Lise and I took the form of an argument.
Lise persistently bitten as if she was trying to find a weakness in the technique, and I let go of most of her attacks, sometimes accepting them.
“It doesn’t seem like there are any shortcomings. First of all, the technique you mentioned cannot cause destruction. Even if that were possible, the power would be significantly reduced. In order to increase power, mana must be artificially processed to forcibly increase its purity, so that method is still far from efficient.”
Surprisingly, it seems that Rise understood the general characteristics of the technique just from that short explanation.
I was secretly impressed, but I answered without showing it.
“A shield can also be wielded like a weapon at times, but can it really be said that its use is correct? “In the first place, the basis of Gimun transformation is defense.”
Rise closed her mouth as if she had nothing to say in response.
And after a much longer silence than before, I open my mouth.
“okay. “I must admit it was quite an interesting story.”
I guess this seems pretentious.
It seemed like he was trying to act calm and calm.
“But I wonder. “From whom did you learn these things?”
“It is difficult to say any more because it is related to protection.”
I played it off and made up an excuse that I had prepared in advance.
“… hmm.”
Lise sighed once more and then spoke with a sigh.
“If it’s your protection, there’s nothing you can do. “Now then, show me for yourself what it is like to disguise yourself as a gi-moon.”
“yes? “That won’t work.”
“what? why?”
Rise asked back in a slightly impatient voice, but I shook my head.
“I can’t use the disguise in the first place.”
Each person has their own aptitude.
I had no talent for magic.
Of course, if the conditions are met, you can imitate it to some extent, but it is impossible to move the air without any preparation like the sister-in-law.
“If you can’t write, how are you going to prove what you just said? “It could all be something you made up.”
“Do you really think so? “Everything I just told you is a figment of my imagination?”
“… … .”
Rise would know better than ever that that was impossible.
This is because it was too specific to be dismissed as a childish delusion.
I spoke with my voice hushed.
“I only came across this knowledge in theory. I couldn’t even think of trying any more. But it would be different if you were a wizard.”
I mean this.
Qimun Transformation is different from Chloride First Ball, which is operated inside the human body.
Perhaps in order to use it correctly, we must first have a deep understanding of the world we stand in.
It’s too much for me.
I don’t have time for that, and it’s not my path in the first place.
However, as Li Se said herself, and as I have personally confirmed, she is a magician of an incredible level.
She might find her own way to use Gimun Transformation in this world.
“I said I would teach you a new magic. I’m not teaching you. “I told you everything I could.”
“… … .”
After I finished what I wanted to say, I quietly looked at Lise… … .
Eventually, Rise’s mouth opened.
“The deal is done.”
I internally breathed a sigh of relief at Li Se’s words.
Actually, I thought there would be a high probability of this answer coming from the middle, but-.
After all, a person’s heart can only be set free if it receives a clear answer.
Anyway, the opponent is a wizard.
‘You may change your words suddenly.’
Of course, I decided that he was not that kind of person.
It was clear that he was a weirdo, but I didn’t feel any madness in this wizard. Rather, if I felt the wise energy, I felt it.
This may be a bit of an over-the-top guess, but I’m going to cut off my arm, or rip out my tongue… … .
Looking back, wasn’t the somewhat exaggerated threat actually a bluff?
Because he’s a wizard.
‘hmm… … .’
Is it because I got burned so much by wizards during my days as a mercenary?
I had no choice but to accept that I had a tendency to hate wizards.
“I grant you permission to revisit the underground library. also… “As the Black Snake Dragon, I will make a contract with you.”
“… … .”
If someone suddenly acts friendly, you should be suspicious.
Especially if it’s the person who just cut off your arm and said you were going to rip out your tongue.
I spoke cautiously.
“I think there are some conditions… … .”
“Yes.”
Then, Rise looked at me, smiled thoughtfully, and said something completely unexpected.
“Luan, become my disciple.”
“uh… no, I do not want.”
“… … .”
Riise’s face, which had been smiling confidently, stiffened.
