Aris’ help (2)
Lennok smiled at the sight of Darby using his tail like a propeller to swim inside the glass tube.
“It looks pretty fun for that.”
[It’s an illusion.]
“Let’s stop chatting and continue the reaction experiment we just did.”
While saying that, Aris tapped her laptop and poured magic power into a nearby pipe.
Whoo!
The powered glass tube shone brightly following Aris’ magical energy and began to surround Davi’s body as it was swimming in the crystal.
“The fact that Darby is a new type of elemental derived from the lightning line is a very important theme in this study.”
Looking at the glass-like transparent light that brightly illuminated the inside of the laboratory, she continued.
“The mainstream opinion in the academic world is that the manifestation of spirits through magicians is in touch with the essential source of magicians…. If so, I might be able to reach a branch of the image through Darby.”
“….”
“It is not easy to grasp the principle and form of the elemental magician’s magnetic field, but it is certain that it must operate centered on the elemental body. That is why it will be helpful to record the magic response of various attributes and hierarchies, and dig into the most responsive spells.”
[…] … .]
At Aris’s words, Lennok met Darby’s eyes.
Considering that Darby’s appearance and abilities are directly related to Lennok’s mind, it’s not a far-fetched guess.
The Brain Spirit, who had been with Lennok for a long time, was essentially born out of Lennok’s needs and wishes.
However, in the process, it was unknown how well the elements of the general spirit magic formula would fit Dabi, who was born by combining a strong artificial intelligence thinking algorithm and a necromancy ceremony.
In order to properly understand the nature of Darby and its source, we must eventually study the adjacent lineage through various attempts, as Aris said.
‘The question is, how long will it take?’
Fortunately, Lennok had already reached an agreement with Darby on this matter.
Darby’s calculation and hacking ability, which corresponds to the brain spirit, and assisting in the technique through the specification of algorithms are special skills with high potential in this world, so that even Lennok can hardly guess the limit.
It would be of great help to Lennok if he could understand Darby’s abilities more deeply and unlock them through this study of spiritism.
“While conducting the reaction experiment, we will also conduct research on the summoning magic that we could not finish.”
Saying that, Aris tapped the thick pile of books.
“Even though the principles of spirit magic and summoning magic are different, the result of embodying a different phase in reality is the same. As Darby has a different side from other spirits, we need to study the principles of summoning magic as well.”
“The investigation into the summoning magic is almost complete.”
Lennok replied.
“After the reaction experiment is over, it would be good to draw the summoning circle and check the results.”
“great.”
Aris clapped and said.
“On the other side of the lab, there is an empty lot prepared for practice. Could you go ahead and draw the summoning circle? I’ll make sure the reaction test record is finished and I’ll take Darby.”
“All right.”
After saying that, Lennok took the catalyst box in the corner of the lab and headed towards the clearing.
chair professor. Aris’ personal laboratory, which reached the 7th level Aspect Wizard, boasts a considerable size even within Ravatenon University.
In the middle of a clearing where many scrolls and books had been cleaned, Lennok began to draw a summoning circle by combining several catalysts.
Although he had never used summoning-type magic, he seemed quite skilled at mixing catalysts and drawing summon circles.
Lennok’s eyes slowly sank as he ruminated on his memories with his back bent.
‘Summoning magic… … It was one of the systematic magics that I had been eyeing for quite some time.’
The days when I couldn’t easily catch even the 6th level, let alone the 7th level.
There was a time when I was aware of the fact that it was always difficult to find a front-end with well-matched hands and feet like Dylan and looked for a solution.
Didn’t he meet Aris one more time while going to and from the city library while researching spirit magic and summoning magic to create and establish a vanguard himself?
In the end, Lennok gave up on creating a vanguard and solidified his style by equipping himself with fighting abilities comparable to the vanguard.
It would be a lie if I said I had no regrets about summoning magic, which requires capital, environment, and luck.
‘I can’t say I’m on the lucky side… … .’
It is different now that he has completed the hierarchy with the two elements of Aris’ laboratory and research funds on his back.
In the process of researching the Spirit Spell and Summoning Spell, Lennok fully understood the countless diverging points in the two Spells with his head.
Even if it’s impossible right now, it won’t be long if you keep trying this way over and over again-
“Lenok side is over.”
While I was thinking that, Aris appeared with a Dabi on her shoulder.
The reaction experiment must have been quite tiring.
Lennox smiled and nodded.
“We are almost done.”
“Then I’ll wait here.”
Aris laughed and grabbed Darby and sat on a pile of books nearby.
Looking down at Lennok’s back, her blue eyes twinkled.
An empty lot on one side of the lab with books and scrolls piled up. The dark sunset reflected on the glass window next to it, dyeing the laboratory red.
A twilight so beautiful that even Lennok stopped touching it for a moment. Aris followed her gaze and turned her head quietly.
“….”
The time when thoughts and worries that cannot be spoken to each other disappear without giving an answer.
But Lennok felt perfectly comfortable at this time. And I wanted someone else to feel that way too.
How long can we maintain this relationship? How long can this time last?
After all, as long as Lennok is hiding the most important secret from Aris, it might be a relationship with a certain ending.
But even so, Lennok still wasn’t sure if he should tell her the whole story.
Because she stood in a completely different position than the people in the shadows who knew half of Area 49.
Is it really for her to be honest with Aris now, or is it selfish for Lennok himself?
Knowing that, Lennok wasn’t yet sure of his answer.
A world in constant upheaval There is not much to be desired in this endlessly twisting city.
If there’s anything you want to continue, even for a little while… … .
“Lenok?”
After coming to his senses at Aris’ call, Lennok let out an awkward laugh.
“ah…. sorry. I will have to explain this to Aris.”
Without waiting for Aris’ reply, Lennok immediately continued.
“As for the summoning circle, I am in the process of improving it through my own interpretation. The order of the variables to be controlled is the order of the phylogeny, size, personality, and background, and the factors of finance and luck were put off last. As for the system, in fact, the analysis is almost complete, and the shape and size are still in the process of trial and error.”
As I pointed out and explained the summoning formations I had drawn in advance, Aris immediately understood and nodded.
“You’re trying to touch the elements that are decided at the time you activate the summoning circle with pre-arrangement. But after this kind of modification, the gin won’t work properly, right?”
“I plan to use luck to fill that part. To be precise, it is to take advantage of bad luck.”
Aris knew that Lennok’s understanding of magic theory exceeded 7th level, so Lennok had no hesitation in sharing his opinion.
Aris, who understood Lennok’s words in an instant, spoke.
“Are you planning to use a cursed artifact or relic?”
“you’re right. Summoning circles are originally a method of filling structural gaps through strong luck or similar items… … However, if the entire formula is reversed and drawn in reverse, even the principle can be drawn backwards.”
said Lennok.
“It’s about reversing the bad luck that was forcibly created into the part that needs luck.”
momentary silence. It took time for even Aris to understand that absurd statement.
“that…. It’s really nonsense.”
Aris opened her mouth with a weak smile.
“It’s a completely opposite interpretation of the common sense I know of the legal circle.”
It reverses the formula like a mirror and takes the power source of the necessary components from the opposite direction.
It’s easy to say, but to put it bluntly, it’s tantamount to recreating the formula from a completely zero base.
This is because the magic circle is not a convenient power that works backwards just by drawing it against a mirror.
But even after hearing her words, Lennok’s expression didn’t change.
“It is not impossible if you are clearly aware of the summoning party’s logic progression order. The important thing is whether or not the structure of the summoning team operates completely when the desired logic is reversed… … It can be solved through Darby’s calculation ability.”
Unlike magic, which is made up of strong will and intuition, clear intentions and calculations, magic circles require much more systematic order and logic.
This is because the subject who implements the magic is not the magician, but the already drawn Jin itself.
“All that remains is to weave together the necessary jean components so that they do not fall apart.”
Faaaaaa!!
With those words, Lenok put his hand on the summoning circle, and the entire summoning circle began to glow with blue magic light instead of the sunset light.
“Unbelievable….”
Aris looked down at the summoning circle with a dazed expression and jumped off the pile of books.
With her shirt unbuttoned and her arms rolled up, she began to rummage through the catalyst box in the lab with a lively expression.
“Let’s start with a catalyst that can be used right away. Eggs of Pamura Roots of bullheads Flower seeds of Manlihwa Metrum’s wings… … I’ll sweep the bad-quality catalysts out of the undergraduate warehouse.”
“It’s okay if you don’t use your hands in such a hurry… … .”
“no.”
Alice’s eyes narrowed as she turned her gaze toward Lennok.
“I might have to go on a business trip again soon. Now that I’ve managed to get the time right, I want to continue until there are meaningful results.”
“…”
“I will come after receiving the payment from the administrative office, so please wait for me.”
Lennok, who was looking at the back of Aris who quickly disappeared from the lab, burst out laughing.
Darby, who had been drooping, grumbled as if he had been waiting.
[That woman seems to have forgotten why we are doing this.]
“Well…. I’m sure Aris isn’t the kind of person who can’t be so discerning.”
[So you just want to spend a long time with Master?]
“…You don’t know that either.”
Lennok’s gaze sank deeply even as he responded moderately to Darby’s mischievous words.
Aris mentioned that there might be a business trip, but considering the situation outside now, it is unlikely that it will end as a simple outing.
Maybe the identity of the contact that Aris is coming these days… … .
“I’ll have to talk to Jenny again.”
Lennok muttered as he picked up his phone.
“I need more specific information about the current situation.”
* * *
Lennok, who dealt with the remnants of the Bardisch Brotherhood and captured the vice-captain, handed over the post-processing to Mayer.
It is not possible to interrogate the person concerned in a matter directly related to the safety of the city council member.
Mayer I wouldn’t be embarrassed if I didn’t get a job like this right.
Perhaps, based on the captured Brotherhood’s vice-captain, we can gather relevant information.
If so, Lennok needed to gather as much information as possible within his realm.
Even if you don’t, don’t you have one of the best and most well-connected brokers on this floor as a partner?
It was not difficult to explain the current situation and the crisis facing the business to Jenny and ask for cooperation.
“Things are worse than I thought.”
Ride on and on!!
Jenny’s Bar. A neat new office built on top of it.
While Jenny, who was sitting in front of the thin monitor, was pounding on the keyboard incessantly, Dray, who was standing by the door, opened her mouth.
“Since long ago, there was a strong atmosphere that there was nothing we could do about the reduction and collapse of the National Guard.”
Dray Krimgal is a former National Guard special forces member.
Although he is a retired soldier who has been discharged for a long time, he was an ideal talent for an advisory role in the current situation.
“Twenty years ago, when the urban expansion and development plan was in full swing, the existence of the National Guard to protect the entire undeveloped district was essential. However, since the outrageous urban expansion project was scrapped, the symbolism of the National Guard has greatly diminished.”
After realizing that the city government could not control the entire metropolis, the outside of the 40th district turned into a lawless land.
Even if the National Guard continues to play its role as before, the biggest beneficiaries of its existence are those living in undeveloped districts and outlying districts.
In fact, it has become meaningless for most citizens living in the 30th district.
“Like my classmates who joined the company, most current and former service members understand that the need for the National Guard is diminishing.”
“….”
Jenny interrupted.
“The National Defense Forces Command has also continuously protested to the city council, but it was more of a façade. But what do you think is the reason why the entire National Guard suddenly came together and took a tough line?”
“Lieutenant General Treppen, who commands the headquarters, is not alone in launching a coup of this magnitude. It is also because of that self-assured attitude that I have remained on the crumbling outer frontline until now.”
Dray’s answer pointed to only one fact.
“There must be outside intervention.”
“Exactly.”
After saying that, Jenny tapped on her keyboard and displayed several photos on the screen at the back of the office.
the outskirts of the metropolis. A mountain range on the defense front far beyond the satellite city that failed to expand past the suburban district and the undeveloped district.
There is not even a trace of the appearance of the mobile fortress that was heavily guarded between the mountains.
“As soon as the city council was briefly notified, the mobile fortress, which is no different from the core force of the National Guard, was pushed to the rear.”
“….”
“It’s an unusually fast pace for the headquarters I’ve known. It would never be possible without someone’s help.”
said Dray.
Lennok rested his chin on Jenny’s table and met her gaze.
The clear eyes of the two crossed for a while without avoiding it.
Lennok, who was looking up at her calmly, asked.
“Is it Pandemonium?”
Although he had been dealing with members of the Guido Church for a while, Lennok had never forgotten about the existence of Pandemonium.
Unlike the direction of the church that relied on the gods of the open sea, there were still many unclear points about what they truly wanted.
What answer should Lennok give to those who risked their lives and saved their lives?
Even as he dealt with the immediate problems, Lennok couldn’t stop thinking about it.
“…I don’t think it’s possible.”
Jenny said, slightly averting her gaze.
“However, there is a high probability that he was not directly involved in this incident, even though he may have been involved.”
“Is this because of the intervention of other external forces….”
“The company secretariat gathered information floating around the deep web and roughly selected a few candidates.”
Along with her words, a number of bizarre sentences appeared on the screen.
“All of them are big criminal organizations that operate in and around megacities. The Ten Counts, which are rapidly gaining momentum recently… … .”
“I guess we can exclude the Baradish Brotherhood and the terrorist organization Falchion.”
Lennok murmured, looking up at the list of organizations.
They have already collided with Lennox once, and their objectives are also relatively clearly defined.
“Among them, there are three most likely candidates.”
said Jenny.
“Recently, the Spell Federation Regios has rapidly expanded its influence on the central front. Dead Rise, the last member of the Triumvirate and the most violent of them all. And-”
The mouse pointer pointed to a cog wheel pattern stained with dark red blood.
“It’s a magical engineering research group called Gearside, commonly known as the Machine Church.”
