Chapter 156. Magic Lecture and Accidental Discovery
(3)
“Don’t be discouraged. It is natural that it is difficult.”
No matter how competent a mage is, it is usually not easy to calculate two magics at the same time.
Originally, if you want to catch two rabbits, don’t you miss them both?
Difficult is normal.
How long did it take for even me to learn that in the past.
I spoke as if to comfort Dia, who was secretly discouraged.
“It’s a secret that takes time to learn, so let’s learn it slowly.”
But a few days later, something unexpected happened.
Dia found the answer in her own way faster than expected.
“How is Arel?”
Dia casually casts multiple spells at the same time and looks back at me triumphantly.
Class 1 magic fire wind.
And the 3rd class magic lightning bolt.
Each of the different attributes and magic of a separate class are manifested at the same time.
“You woke up surprisingly quickly.”
I expected it to take another month or so.
But in less than a week, you’d totally get the hang of it.
“Isn’t that three at the same time, not two… Have you even learned how to calculate three things at once?”
“No, I tried a slightly different method.”
Dia shook her head and canceled the magic she cast.
Then, as if to recast what he had just shown, he began chanting it again.
Just like before, multiple magical effects are manifested simultaneously.
“I realized a little different trick.”
‘?…”that?’ Dia knew what it was before she could explain the trick.
At first glance, it seems that three magics were chanted at the same time, but before that, Dia chanted a separate magic first.
‘Memorize?’
I could immediately figure out what kind of technique it was.
“I saved the formula in advance with Memorize.”
Just as I expected, Dia revealed the secret she learned faster than expected.
Memorize magic that activates after pre-saving a spell.
“I see… Did you activate the three magics stored in the memorize…?”
If it is difficult to control at the same time, you can save the pre-written operation and activate it.
The rest is mana control.
That problem shouldn’t be a big deal compared to the problem of calculating multiple magics at the same time.
‘Is there such a way?’
After all, it’s a fluke.
Come to think of it, if you do that, you can activate it more reliably and safely than calculating it simultaneously.
I also reviewed it on the spot and there is no problem.
“…isn’t this way not working?”
Dia asked, tilting her head as if she were serious.
Are you worried that I’m going to get mad at you for doing a trick I wasn’t told to?
“no. I just never thought there would be a way like this.”
It must be dark under the lamp.
I don’t use memorize because I’m a little shy with my personality, so of course I didn’t even think about that.
Although there is an annoying point of having to chant separate magics in advance, according to the trick Dia discovered, a much larger number of magics can be used at the same time.
In addition, since the calculation speed is fast from the beginning, preparation does not take too long.
Definitely the right way.
There are times in life when more tricks are more useful than the right way.
I rather recommend a trick.
People who are cunning usually live a long time.
“Your method is much more stable. good job. Surely your talent is not average!”
Maybe because I was more delighted than expected, Dia looked a little bewildered rather than meekly thrilled.
“You were a genius after all.”
When I praised her honestly, Dia smiled faintly and bowed her head.
“thank you.”
He seems to be delighted with my praise.
Time passed quickly as I watched Dia’s performance or otherwise skipped work and had fun.
After about a month of opening the city in earnest, it was quite plausible that it was looking for vigor.
At first, the residents, who were anxious about suddenly building a city, were living a comfortable life as if they had already adapted, and there were no inconveniences in most transactions thanks to the merchants that entered from outside.
‘For now, it seems that the minimum assortment of a good city to live in is complete.’
I was relieved that there were no major problems while walking around the roadside and watching the lives of the residents from the corner of my eye.
Now I’m secretly leaving the castle and wandering around alone.
It can often be said that it came out of the dark.
Even if I try to inspect, I can’t take a good look at the life here if I go around officially.
For that reason, for now, I sneak out and wander around by myself.
Everyone is busy running around anyway, so there’s no way anyone would think it strange that I was walking around alone.
‘I don’t usually think that the lord will be roaming there.’
At most, only a few people know my face.
‘By the way, everyone is doing well.’
The biggest concern was that they would not be able to adapt to the suddenly changed living environment.
I’ll do everything else with money and technology, but I can’t easily touch people’s hearts.
‘Well… there’s no way he’d have so much attachment to his old hometown.’
Before I came, I didn’t even have to hold onto anyone and ask who would be better, a town that was in a hurry to survive day by day, or a safe and prosperous city.
In addition, the residents here say that they have pride in living in this city.
After all, it seems like there are still a lot of guys from the outside who want to move to this city somehow, so it’s natural to brag.
‘Then there won’t be any problems in life.’
With a little time left, I decided to look around the shopping district.
Come to think of it, there are quite a lot of business meetings that I couldn’t see.
Foreseeing that my city will prosper greatly, several merchants have stretched out their feet to advance one step ahead.
Since they had already informed in advance that they had facilities for tourism and entertainment in mind during the urban development plan, merchants hurriedly prepared a foothold for their advancement here.
‘Thanks to that, I can see all the rare things.’
From stores that simply handle daily necessities commonly used in life.
Guys who handle rare medicinal materials.
There are even merchants that only deal with items imported from distant countries.
Do you sell something like that?
‘Hmm… is there anything unusual?’
I went around looking around in turn to see if there was a product that would attract my attention.
As I was looking around, one thought came to my mind that it seems that our store will need to release new products soon.
Wouldn’t it be better to release new products as the territory has changed?
‘There is also a need to get ahead more clearly.’
Even now, I’m getting ahead enough, but I want to go even further.
In addition, the time has come to release a new flagship product.
‘It’s a new product… what’s good?’
With the current technology level, it seems that more complex products can be created, so shall we make up our mind and try something more difficult?
After all, the hard work is done by the people under me.
I just have to do the theory and give money.
While wandering around thinking about what to make, I found a signboard of a store and tilted my head.
“That store…
If I remember correctly, that signboard must belong to the Geotal store.
It is a grand guild headquartered in Felsen Kingdom.
During the last war, it was forced to withdraw for a while, but after the war, it was Sanghoe that started trading again.
From what I heard, it was said that it was a business that mainly focused on products imported through trade, rather than handling domestic products.
Since it is trade across the water, it may not seem like much, but how dangerous it is.
If you ask the people here to trade across the sea, most will say so.
‘Riding a boat is something that can’t die soon’.
The ship technology here isn’t that high yet.
In addition, navigation technology is also dependent on compass and experience.
Of course, going out to sea is risky enough to risk your life.
The weather is fickle and the waves are fierce.
Finding the way is not easy either.
There’s also the problem of pirates.
Perhaps because of the fact that they have to take on such reckless adventures, other companies cannot even dream of crossing the continent to trade unless they have their own know-how like the Geotal Company.
In addition, the kingdom of Ernesia has no sea, so it has nothing to do with trade across the sea.
‘I’m sorry about that.’
This is a bit disappointing because our trading company has no relationship with the water crossing.
If we could trade with a more distant continent, we might be able to find new useful goods.
In particular, you may be able to find raw materials that are not available here.
I’m going to think about that problem slowly later.
“Hmm, do you want to do something strange?”
I felt the urge to take a look.
If you look at the products of other stores, wouldn’t you come up with an idea of what to make?
When I entered the store building, a merchant quickly jumped out and greeted me.
“welcome!”
“What products are you handling?”
When I ask calmly
He glanced at my outfit and his eyes changed.
He probably thought of him as a young aristocrat or a young heir to a high school.
In short, it sounds like a lot of money.
And merchants are infinitely kind to those who seem to have a lot of money.
His demeanor instantly softened.
“We mainly deal with products traded across the continent.”
Saying so, he showed me various products.
Meat of different breeds and products from other countries.
But nothing really caught my eye.
“Hmm… hmm?”
Then.
At that moment, I found a strangely shaped fruit in a corner of the display stand.
It is a fruit with a pointy tip about 30 cm in size.
….is this?
For some reason, my heart was pounding.
Could this be fate?
Don’t panic. You need to find your equilibrium.
Trying not to show anything, I summoned the merchant and pointed out the fruit in question.
First of all, to make sure that what I know is correct.
“Hey what is this?”
“You mean that? I’m sorry, sir, but that fruit isn’t very useful.
Although it was brought in, it cannot be eaten or used as medicine.”
It seemed that I had mistaken it for simply a delicious fruit.
Apparently, it was obtained as a bonus when trading on the continent across the sea.
However, he frankly confessed that it was not likely to sell, so he was just putting it on display to fill up the seats.
Perhaps they’re afraid that they’ll sell me some worthless merchandise and later put a stain on their name.
“Ohh…. It’s useless.”
I felt my ears prick up.
“At first, it seemed that the locals grinded it into powder and drank it, but my acquaintances who tasted it said that it was terribly tasteless.”
“Hoo? okay. You mean that?”
I was amazed by the explanation.
Oh, no. try to get a laugh You have to be patient.
“First, let’s try to hear the name of the fruit. Or do you have no name?”
“no. It must have been called this when trading there.”
The merchant frowned as if he was trying to remember, but finally said the name of the fruit.
“They obviously called it ‘cacao’.”
“Yeah…that’s right…
I was convinced when I heard the name.
yes i heard good things
I mean, this fruit is so useless.
When I heard that, I swallowed.
I finally figured out what to do next.
“Okay, I decided on you.”
this is destiny
Certainly, if there is a god in the party, he must be guiding me.
