Episode 651
“Wow, what a friendly town!”
Priest Siana was impressed.
Other priests in the church seemed surprised and seemed to agree.
It was rare for villagers to pay this much attention to travelers coming from outside.
“I think it would be great to build a temple here.”
“I agree. “Priest Siana.”
It is said that faith should be spread equally wherever one goes, but if the village is a warm and friendly place, one cannot help but be a little happier.
-The thief ran away!!
-catch!! If you don’t catch it within today, someone from the family will come!!
-You people! Everyone come out quickly! The priests are outside! You have to catch them before they come in! Do you all want to be known as a town you shouldn’t travel to in the empire?
– Why today? There are many peaceful days too!
“…??!”

Alcicle started explaining the basics of time magic to the junior who was complaining that he couldn’t continue.
It wasn’t his specialty, but since it was such a notorious magic, he knew it to some extent.
“Wardanaz. “Any magic starts with detection or recognition.”
“yes.”
Lee Han nodded.
New wizards always dreamed of dropping a meteorite with a single finger and stunning professors, or even enemies, with a single whistle, but in reality, that was a high level that even excellent wizards found difficult to demonstrate.
Magic always started from the ordinary and basic.
When it comes to elemental magic, it starts with feeling the elements.
When it comes to illusion magic, it starts with seeing illusions.
When it comes to healing magic, it starts with recognizing the illness.
Likewise, space-time magic began with detection and recognition.
“<Time Perception> or <Space Perception>. In fact, these two magics are often mastered by wizards who do not explore space-time magic. “It’s useful.”
“you’re right. “I am also learning <spatial awareness>.”
“……”
Alcicle looked at Lee Han in astonishment.
This was not a story that a student who had just completed his first year was asked to agree to.
“You learned <spatial awareness>? “What happened?”
<Spatial Awareness>, which plays the role of accurately entering the space near the wizard into the mind, was a 1st circle magic, but it was more difficult than most 2nd circle magic.
Occasionally, there were magic spells of monstrous difficulty that could surpass the circle.
Of course, this kind of magic was not learned when learning the 1st circle, but when learning the 3rd circle…
“One of your seniors taught you this?”
“I don’t know who it is, but I think it’s better not to have anything to do with a guy like that.”
Alcicle was disgusted.
The Moradi family’s Balpatan, who had no choice but to teach Lee Han “spatial awareness” in order to escape, suddenly came to be treated as a crazy senior.
Even though Lee Han asked me to teach him first!
“no way. “He’s not a bad person.”
“Gonadaltes is not a bad person either.”
‘Isn’t that just bad?’
“If you know <spatial awareness>, the explanation will be easier. <Time Perception> is a similar series.”
<Spatial Awareness>, which allows you to understand what objects are located near you and the exact distance between them, ranges from battle wizards who often deal with quick enemies to adventurers who explore ruins with spatial magic. It was a very useful magic.
<Time Perception> was similar.
By casting this spell, you could accurately recognize the passing time in seconds, minutes, and hours even without a clock, and measure the time it takes to start and finish something without the slightest error.
This was also a useful spell for alchemists who made precise potions or combat wizards who needed to understand the opponent’s magic.
“For your information, I also learned <Time Perception>.”
“Have you not learned <Spatial Awareness>?”
“uh. “I don’t need it.”
“……”
“……”
Suddenly there was silence.
It wasn’t because it was Rcicle’s fault, but sometimes the place where people gathered became strangely quiet.
There comes a time when we become quiet because we don’t have anything to say to each other.
“I didn’t cook it because I really didn’t need it!”
“yes?”
“What are you saying…?”
Yoner and Nilia were talking about ‘What kind of clubs are there in Einrogard?’ and then looked away.
Alcicle, who belatedly realized his misunderstanding, blushed.
“So I didn’t learn it because I didn’t need to. “I don’t fight or go on adventures…”
“okay.”
“Of course it is. “It’s strange that everything is cooked like wadanaz.”
Unlike the other two, Gainando and Eandurde stared at Alcicle.
Although they didn’t say anything, I could feel that they had a common understanding.
‘Ah-oh. These newbies who don’t know anything.’
“…Wardanaz, let me learn <time perception>.”
“yes. “I’ve learned it all now.”

“……”
Lee Han, who received the spells written by Alcicle and the flow of magical power when cast, learned <Time Perception> while the senior wizard was talking.
After seeing that, Alcicle resolved to leave Wardanaz Mansion within this week.
Otherwise, I might go crazy.
‘It’s a hellish mansion…!’
“Didn’t you say yesterday that you couldn’t cook?”
“That’s right. But you said that many other wizards also learn <Time Perception> and <Space Perception>. “This has to be looked at separately.”
“……”
Alcicle felt a strong urge to hit Lee Han’s mouth with his wing.
Alcicle didn’t know it himself, but this was an impulse that even the skeleton headmaster often felt.
“What’s next?”
“I heard him…”
“yes?”
“The next thing is to go back in time and read the past.”
Alsicle, whose pronunciation became inaccurate due to his clenched beak, regained his composure and spoke.
From here on, it was a specialized field of time magic that neither Arcicle nor most other wizards had mastered.
“Let’s look at this wizard card. “Where was this wizard card a year ago?”
“I won it from a guest at the mansion!”
When Guynando shouted excitedly, Alcicle hit the wizard card with his staff as if he had said well.
“A year ago, it must have been with a guest who came to the mansion, and two years ago, it must have been with someone else. “Reading the time this card has gone through can be said to be a true introduction to time magic.”
Manipulating time was on a different level from summoning and controlling only that element like other elements.
As it required the process of cutting out and intervening separately, as if isolating the wizard’s area itself, even basic practice required an enormous level of difficulty.
This <Past Detection> served as a basis for such basic practice.
So that the wizard can control the flow of time remaining in the object as he wishes.
“Now take this card and practice reading the past…”
Food!
A huge golden eagle flew in front of the window of the mansion. A necklace with a crescent moon pattern hung around the golden eagle’s neck.
“oh. “You’re here!”
“What?”
“Item bought at Crescent Auction. “You have to pay for your helmet.”
“oh. “There was no need to rush like this.”
Even as he said that, Lee Han couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
What kind of item did Alcicle buy?
Perhaps sensing his junior’s expectations, Alcicle smiled and opened the package.
“Voila!”
A round silver shield the size of a buckler appeared inside the package. The antique style and patterns made me feel that it was a relic made in the past.
Lee Han was surprised.
“Wasn’t this expensive?”
“It’s not that expensive. Because there are a lot of scratches, it is old, it is not a trendy design these days, there are no jewels, and the effects are only practical…”
“……”
Lee Han was speechless for this very realistic reason.
“Still, I chose it because I thought it would be quite useful for you. “I liked the magic on the shield.”
“What kind of magic do you think it is?”
“Projectile slowdown.”
“?”
Nylia paused at Alcicle’s words.
The <Projectile Slowdown> magic was not that rare.
Of course, the enchanted artifact itself was a precious item, but it was only a semi-permanently engraved item.
Right now, Shadow Patrol hunters would periodically go down the mountain range and ask magicians for magic.
The purpose was to temporarily enchant the equipment and then go hunting.
One of the spells often seen at that time was <Projectile Slowdown>.
It was popular as it slowed down heavy projectiles thrown by enemies, and above all, it was advantageous in that it was not that difficult, so most enchantment wizards would know how to use it.
“Wardanaz.”
Nilia pulled Lee Han’s collar and whispered.
“As far as I know, projectile slowing magic isn’t a very good magic, so maybe you were scammed…”
“…I mean slow down, it’s something else!”
Alcicle was excited by the reactions of his juniors.
Anyway, all the people from Einrogard were violent and rude.
“Even if the deceleration is the same, the principles are different. Usually, projectile slowdown is done using telekinesis or wind elements. However, this <Silharn’s Silver Shield> slows down projectiles using time magic.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised to hear Alcicle’s words.
Nilia was also surprised and asked.
“Why are you going to the trouble of stopping me like that?”
“…Wizards usually do useless things. I don’t know either. “I guess I was bored.”
Asking a wizard, ‘Why did you have to use magic for that?’ was almost a taboo question.
Basically, the moment you ask about magic like that, you no longer need to use more than half of it.
This wasn’t even made by Alcicle himself!
“I thought a shield like this would be good since I was going to attend Einroguard. And it would be good to get used to time magic.”
“thank you. Pengelin. “Definitely a shield like this will be of great help in Einroguard.”
“Why don’t you say you’re going to get used to time magic?”
“Isn’t that natural? haha.”
Lee Han, whose true feelings were discovered, took good care of the silver shield. I don’t know how useful this shield was, but it was sure to be much more useful than a helmet.
“Lee Han. “Lee Han.”
“?”
“Give me back the card…”
“……”
Lee Han returned the <Saint Iactus> card he had received earlier to practice magic to Gainando.
As soon as Gainando received the card, he put it deep in his chest and was wary of his surroundings.
‘I won’t let anyone take it from me!’
* * *
“We’re here!”
Durgyu and Siana arrived at the family mansion.
The golem that came out to meet them bowed its head and went into the garden.
“and. Wardanaz. “Does the golem do the work for you in the territory?”
“yes.”
“It’s truly worthy of the Empire’s renowned magic family!”
Lee Han did not bother to mention that devils sometimes appear in the territory.
Because it wasn’t a very important fact.
“Did anything happen when you two came?”
“The village people were so kind.”
“that’s right. “I was embarrassed because they kept giving me gifts.”
Gainando grumbled.
“My carriage… my coachman…”
“It’s not the villagers’ fault. Gainando.”
“joy. “The villagers might have kicked the coachman out.”
“Why would the villagers do something like that?”
Lee Han was relieved when his friends (except for one person) seemed to have come a long way and received proper treatment.
At this rate, I didn’t think I would feel sorry as the inviter.
“Well, now that we’re all gathered together, shall we go out to the city tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow!? “You came today?”
Priest Siana was embarrassed.
“Then the day after tomorrow?”
“Well, I’ll say hello to the people in the mansion, and visit the villages around the mansion to do some volunteer work… I think it’ll take a week…”
“……”
“……”
The friends exchanged complicated glances at Sianna’s words.
