Society (3)
A quiet silence descended upon the resolute declaration.
Aris calmly received the concentrated attention from the surroundings and spoke again slowly.
“I hope others will take note. If you lay a hand on my researcher, I will never stand still.”
Everyone looked at Aris in dismay as she swept her rich blonde hair to one side and rushed ahead.
No one objected to that dignified and beautiful attitude, and quietly got out of the way.
Lennok scratched his cheek as he walked behind her.
In a world full of thorough deals and gains and losses, Lennok is more confident than anyone else in managing human relationships.
It was not difficult to give back as much as you received without losing money and to receive the price with certainty.
But how should we respond to unrequited favor and unreasonable trust?
How long can this strange relationship, in which one side benefits unilaterally and the other does not care, continue?
If, even later, a situation arises in which he has to answer for this moment, how should Lennok respond?
It was unknown.
However, at least the trust that Aris gave me must be reciprocated.
Before passing Byla, Lennok whispered softly in her ear.
“There aren’t that many ways to cure the severance of magical power.”
“…What did you just say?”
“The purple bruise that forms on the lower part of the neck and the magical power that cannot move properly due to pooling in the back of the head. The left small limb becomes congested and swollen, and the nails begin to become abnormally hard enough to be difficult to cut. A slightly unbalanced gait… isn’t it proof that the imbalance of magical power is beginning to affect bodily functions?”
“………”
I didn’t know how to use the results of digging into theories with Aris tenaciously.
In reality, she only penetrated the magical flow in Bayla’s body and deduced the appropriate body anomaly, but from her point of view, it is good to see what Lennok will look like.
At least while he was a researcher for Aris, Lennok intended to stand out only in this thoroughly theory-related field.
And that much would go a long way in shutting up Bayla and reversing her relationship with Aris.
Leaving behind her hardened expression, Lennok immediately moved on.
Will Bayla put down her pride and come to Lennok for advice?
Or will it stop at the line where it no longer raises a fight against this side?
It’s not such a big loss if you tell a famous research director that you can erase your debt due to health problems.
Either way, it was clear that it would be a good choice for Lennok.
The demonstration site was not far away.
“This is…..”
“This is the place chosen to demonstrate the battlefield control ceremony. Is there anything that bothers you?”
“….no.”
In response to Aris’ question, Lennok blurted out his words, but his gaze quickly found Archwood.
His eyes met Lennok’s exactly as if he had been thinking the same thing when he saw this place.
“………”
It was only natural that the corner of his mouth, which had been maintaining a smile, cracked slightly.
Looking at Archwood, who was sweating and looking away, Lennok laughed.
It’s a strange coincidence.
The forest chosen for the conference’s demonstration was the same spot where Lennok had knocked out Archwood the day before.
Maybe it was because it was a suitable place to test the power of the spell without having to change the terrain to your heart’s content in that there were dead trees.
Perhaps it didn’t seem strange that the clot of blood he had vomited out was still here somewhere.
[Then, let’s get right into the demonstration of the ceremony. The people gathered here must be too busy, so let’s aim to check just one thing.]
A young man in a gown standing at the front of the party raised his hand and at the same time his clear tone resonated far away.
[Wasn’t the concept of occupying a certain range of space and increasing the power of the magic ceremony last night discussed over and over again? But anyway, one thing is important. The important thing is how much the amplification power of the technique is.]
[Everyone agreed that there will be no progress in the future unless the effectiveness of this part is calculated through several demonstrations. What would you like to say in the long run? Let’s start right away.]
Almost as soon as the young man finished speaking, others quickly came out from behind him and started fiddling with something with all sorts of tools.
Judging from the direction of the magical energy moving from afar, it seems that they are aiming to install a magic column using specific equipment and mass-produce it…
‘It doesn’t seem efficient.’
If it was really to develop such a spell for use in the war against the Dominion, then it was wrong from the start.
Right now, even the magnetic field used by Lennok or Craig feels difficult to use because of its characteristics as an environment construction team compared to its overwhelming efficiency.
A thoroughly organized battlefield.
Unless it’s an arena where each other honestly fires a barrage of magic, it’s unlikely to have a big effect.
Or do the wizards gathered here have other ideas?
While I was lost in thought, the demonstration began.
Those who appear to be the young man’s attendants set up a drinking fountain and enter it to increase their mana.
Woooo!!
Each of them formed a spell with a beastman, and all of them unleashed their magic toward the dead forest.
It’s a somewhat unfamiliar scenery to Lennok, but that’s what an ordinary wizard uses magic.
The moment when the three lines of flame from the hands of the three passed through the area where the alcohol gin was spread.
Aaaaaaang!!
The flames exploded and burned the dry trees completely.
“…….”
The power of magic is also powerful, but the amplification rate is considerable.
Enough to overturn Lennok’s opinion, which had been skeptical until just now.
The other wizards standing nearby also started to hear whispers from here and there, as if it was surprising.
[Did you see! It’s more than expected!! We will continue the demonstration!!]
While listening to the young man’s voice trembling with excitement, Aris turned her head.
“This is strange.”
“What do you mean….”
“It far exceeds the amplification rate expected at the conference yesterday. At this rate, there’s no way the organizers didn’t come up with a story…”
As she said that, she slightly frowned and looked around.
“I guess I didn’t cheat.”
Instead of replying, Lennok looked at the face of the excited, screaming young man in front of him.
Apparently, the benefits gained from the demonstration at this conference are substantial, and he is wearing a face that looks like he is about to fly away with joy.
If he had cheated on the results of the demonstration, he would have managed his expression more politely than that.
Now, the young man seemed to be overwhelmed even enjoying the sudden miracle.
Lennok looked carefully at the location of the area where the wizards poured their magic for a while, then realized something and burst into a sigh.
“……ah.”
The location where the wizards set up the battlefield control line overlapped with the area where Lenok had expanded his territory the day before.
Due to the nature of the magnetic realm that occupies the entire space, the magic power used must be deeply embedded in the surroundings.
Even now, I could feel the magic left by Lennok under their feet.
“Haa…”
He let out a sigh, dissipating all remaining magic power.
Whoa, whoa…..
“What?”
“The magic suddenly…”
The flames that had been burning a while ago quickly faded.
The bewildered wizards waved their hands desperately, but the same amplification never happened again.
[Please wait a moment. There seems to be a disruption in the demonstration, but it will be resolved soon.]
After saying that, the young man quickly urged the attendants, but in the end, there was no miracle until 10 minutes passed.
The look of a young man with a terribly crumpled expression. Frustration and despair are great as much as we are delighted with unexpected results.
[There’s no way this could happen… I’m sure it wasn’t until a while ago…]
Aris stared at them like that, then turned her back.
“Let’s go Evan. Any more is a waste of time.”
“All right.”
[Please wait!!]
The young man tried his best to catch the magicians who turned around, but no one knew that the meaning of the conference had disappeared.
Lennok glanced around and was satisfied that no one noticed what he had done.
Regarding the magic manipulation ability, Lennok’s skills were already changing into something beyond recognition.
Except Archwood, who was walking right behind him, was looking at him with a monstrous expression.
“……….”
The relaxed smile he had when he first got off the train was busy looking at Lennok with a haggard complexion.
It’s not like he just noticed that Lennok manipulated magic, but he wasn’t stupid enough to not know that this had something to do with Lennok.
Lennok smiled faintly at him instead of opening his mouth.
“…..!!”
Archwood flinched and averted his gaze.
You probably have no idea what kind of wizard Lennok is and why he would do this.
I can’t do anything other than keep my mouth shut while trembling with anxiety.
That was all Lennok wanted.
