Episode 96
“…Therefore, from now on, this is the Holy Dominion.”
“What kind of name is that?”
Lian looked at me with a puzzled expression and said.
The reaction of the butler who was listening to me was no different.
“Bocchan, didn’t you have a more plausible name? Anyway, what is divinity? Divinity… …“
Then the butler built it.”
“How about Saint Dominion?”
“Don’t give a damn.”
At my words, the butler shook his beard and looked at me.
“Better Saint than Divine! This one is more sensible than a name like Gyoguk Jap!”
“Yeah, I have no sense.”
Okay.
Anyway, in this relationship, the absolute top is mine.
No matter how loud the butler’s voice is, as long as I win the spirit, that’s it.
And as I thought.
“Really dirty.”
The butler shook his shoulders and sat next to Lian.
Then he told Ryan.
“Princess Lian, is the name Saint so noble?”
“To be honest, it’s embarrassing, old man. But since you’re old, I understand!”
“….”
The butler quietly shut his mouth.
Then he looked into the void with a look of melancholy and laughed forlornly.
It must be that you are mentally victorious in your head.
whatever
“Anyway, since it has become a self-governing territory, it will be stuck here for a while. About three or four months?”
“Isn’t that too long?”
“I have to hold onto the foundation of the estate to some extent. This is rather short-lived. furthermore.”
I said, pointing alternately at the butler and Lian.
“Both of you should practice a bit, right? So far, I’ve been wandering around and I’ve gained some things, you know? You have to have time to digest it.”
“That’s the 7th circle.”
“So, butler, can you freely use the 7th circle now?”
“That’s still a bit…“
How can you say so proudly that you haven’t recovered properly even in your prime?”
Ryan didn’t say anything.
You probably know roughly that I’m not wrong.
Lately, he seemed to be feeling his helplessness to the point of getting sick of it.
“Rian.”
“…uh yes tell me.”
“You are strong. Certainly compared to the first time I met you, your strength has risen by leaps and bounds.”
This far exceeds the speed at which Lian became stronger before returning.
but.
“But isn’t that enough?”
“…!”
The boy raised his head.
“You must still feel that you have potential. You can become stronger.”
“That is…“
The fantasy I showed you is the ‘possibility’ of your future. If that’s what you said was possible, then it’s actually possible.”
Before the return
, Lian had reached the grand master’s nose.
Considering that Siegfried had to do everything to reach that level at the time, that was truly amazing.
Because he got there only with his talent and hard work.
“I am not telling you not to be impatient. In reality, you can and should be stronger.”
“So you’re telling me to stick together and practice?”
“Yeah, wasn’t that enough until now? For a while, I was told to train myself like that. You must have had enough experience.”
The guy has seen a lot of strong people.
In the process, I must have felt despair and blamed myself for my shortcomings.
But the boy did not despair.
I felt hopeless, but I did not sit there.
Even that was used as food.
The guy had a natural talent for the sword.
But the most important thing is the talent called ‘effort’.
He wasn’t an indolent genius.
He was a sword genius who constantly put effort into effort.
It is the same now.
He had already passed the level of his peers long ago, but he was still not satisfied.
“I know, I don’t worry about the big guy. So I won’t really care, so be strong like weeds.”
“…under.”
Lian laughed.
As if he knew what to say, he nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Have you prepared anything?”
“There are monsters scattered around here. Go around and use it as a practice partner.”
They didn’t raid the village, but there were a lot of monsters in this area.
I really just didn’t attack.
Pus that wouldn’t be strange if Draculion’s miasma disappeared any time they burst out.
If Rian picks up all the practice opponents, I’m fine.
“Hmm, that will work.”
Rian, who understood it on her own, turned her gaze to me.
“Are you in the 6th circle now?”
“For now.”
“For now…”
Lian laughed once as if he understood and then stood up.
“Well then I’ll be strong like a weed, so don’t worry about it.”
“Ah, if I could give you one piece of advice.”
I gave him a ‘advice’ right before he left.
“The fantasy I showed you. You can trust him completely.”
“Is it my chance?”
“Yes, the possibilities of the future do not lie.”
“then.”
Rian asked at my words.
“That guy called my ‘possibility’. As long as you can beat it backwards, it doesn’t matter if you lose.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
To think that I would be able to sell my future self. It’s ridiculous, but it’s a guy’s answer.
“Can you hit it?”
“I’m saying this because I can’t win. Once you have the goal of losing behind, you will find a way somehow.”
“You know what.”
For a moment, I thought of this guy beating my future to death.
that would be fun as it is
Even if you can’t crush it overwhelmingly, if you can really effectively reach the fantasy with his sword… ….
‘master.’
You will be able to reach that level.
Of course, no matter how much he is, he will need it for the next few years.
After he left, the butler looked at me sweating profusely with an anxious look on his face.
“Now you are butler. The case of the butler is also different from that guy.”
“Kuh hmm. young master. First of all, I’m in 7th circle. At a higher level than the 6th circle boy… …“
It’s still better than a butler.”
“Anyway, that’s not it! You look at the 7th circle so funny!”
“Do you think the circle is everything in butler magic?”
“Everything. What do you do if you have good insight? If the circle doesn’t work, you can’t use high-level magic at all.”
“Then ask the other way around.”
I said with a smile.
“Aren’t analytical skills and knowledge prioritized over the Circle in teaching?”
“Umm, if you say that, then I have nothing else to refute.”
“yes. If you have the talent to create a circle and your knowledge is ahead of the circle… …“
Theory and knowledge can already be seen as the 9th circle or, if you think more broadly, the 10th circle.
“You can’t just judge that as a 6th circle wizard, can you?”
“That too.”
I don’t intend to explain that to the butler, but he must have felt something while traveling with me.
The butler no longer tried to argue with me.
“Then teach me. I will humbly listen from the student’s point of view.”
“Are you quick to judge?”
“Well, in terms of pure circles, it’s true that I’m ahead, but the boy is already able to use 8 circles, right? Looking at it at a glance, it doesn’t seem like you had any intention of hiding it.”
Well, that was it.
It’s different from Ryan’s case.
Lian must have felt that my magic was simply great, but… ….
‘The butler must have noticed.’
How good is my magic command and how many circles have I used… ….
“I guess you were curious.”
“I can’t help but be curious. I thought about it a few times, but it made sense when I came to a rough conclusion.”
The butler laughed and said.
“Ah, that’s a category of monster that doesn’t need to be understood.”
“It’s too much to say that it’s a monster.”
“Isn’t that the highest praise among wizards? Sometimes…Even the terms hard work and genius are laughable.”
For example, the first Walpurgis.
My progenitor was like that.
He was the Grand Mage of the 9th Circle, and most of the existing magic system came from his hands.
really very occasionally.
A monster who alone advances the speed of development in the field will come out.
“So please teach me.”
The butler’s eyes lit up.
“Haven’t you already restored my circles and artificially enhanced my physical talents? Of course you know the next step.”
“Then talk quickly.”
If the butler has such a strong will to learn, it is right for me to respond as well.
“Butler, let’s run from now on.”
“…yes?”
“It has been said since ancient times that a healthy mind dwells in a healthy body. Well, first of all, the butler’s body has to be strong. You are old.”
“yes?”
“Let’s run. on two legs. try hard.”
I spoke again to the butler, who averted his eyes.
“Today, let’s start lightly with 10 laps. Let’s do some strength training as well.”
“uh, ah…young master! I’m older, so this is a little bit!”
“No, no, the butler can do it. I’m old, so I have to do more.”
I grabbed the back of the neck of the butler who was about to jump out and dragged him.
Although Rihanna grows strong like a weed.
The butler couldn’t do that.
As age matters, I needed to live a little longer.
A lot of mages misunderstand that if your circle is high, you will be able to use it permanently as a mage.
“Butler, I saw the potential. You borrowed the power of magic the other day, but didn’t you run hard on your horse?”
“No, you did that because the young master told you to do it!”
“I know, I said black, but you did. I see it very highly.”
therefore.
“Should I do it again this time?”
“…!”
Looking at the butler with a blue expression, I smiled brightly.
It was the beginning of a butler’s physical training project that would last for several months.
* * *
After roughly solving the problem with the butler and Lian, I immediately ordered Chepes.
“Lord Chepes, I think I said the other day, but I plan to make this land a place for hunters.”
“Yes, I heard.”
Chepesch nodded at my words with a respectful expression.
“You have to assume the role of chief of those hunters. As a bonus, acting as the lord of this land is also a combined company.”
He is a talented person who also received training as a lord under Count Draculion.
The qualifications as an acting lord are overflowing.
I can’t stay on this earth forever.
Chepesch was the perfect talent to fill my vacant position here.
“Take it.”
“This…”
Chepes looked around at the pendant he received from me.
“It is a magic tool made to be able to properly hide its identity. If you wear it, you won’t find out that you’re ‘Draculion’.”
“ah…”
Chepes looked at the pendant with a curious expression.
“I don’t think there’s a problem in particular, but there’s a possibility that there will be noise because it’s Draculion’s blood, so it would be comfortable if there was.”
“…Did you make it yourself?”
“What is it?”
At my words, Chepesch’s hand holding the pendant trembled slightly.
You must be thinking that you have lost your place now.
“Sir Cepes.”
“You say yes.”
“Although I have been entrusted with this land, the memories associated with this mansion and land are entirely respectful. I have no intention of getting involved and I have no intention of claiming ownership.”
“…ah.”
Basically, ‘hunters’ often self-destruct out of vengeance.
But I don’t want that.
For me, hunters should be a force that can be operated for a long time.
“I want this place to be a home and a home for hunters.”
“…That word.”
I saw Chepes.
The main point is from here.
“I am going to take care of the land for a while. To be suitable as a hunter’s home and shelter. So… …”
Looking straight at Chepesch.
“In the meantime, I ask you to search for hunters who may be hiding.”
“…!”
His eyes twinkled at my words.
Great mage who transcends by regression
