CH 17
first arrangement
The updraft was much more intense than I felt above.
Not only was it very difficult to get the balance right, but it was also so cold that I could lose my mind if I was too quick.
Why is the wind noise so loud?
Mephisto shouted something from behind, but he couldn’t hear it at all.
But the biggest problem is.
‘this… It’s not easy.’
The point was that it was difficult to use words and spirits because it took a lot of mental energy just to catch the mind.
Refining an image requires a high degree of concentration.
In such an emergency situation, there was no choice but to be difficult.
“[Step… Arabic】 !”
Elric clenched his teeth and spread the magic field widely.
Instead, the magic that was activated this time was still
It wasn’t the ‘levitation’ or ‘glide’ that I used to enjoy.
Things like that could only hold your ankles in a place like this.
I wanted to replace it with an image I grabbed on the fly.
aerial stairs.
From the point where he was falling to the middle of the hill where the mother jade is, he thought of making an invisible stepping stone and going over it himself.
“If the old martial artists saw it, they’d say, ‘It’s a blank slate,’ and they’ll bubble. Hahaha… !」
Leaving behind Mephisto’s moaning exclamation, which was still incomprehensible, Elric was able to reach halfway through at once.
“Whoa… !”
As soon as he stepped on the ground, Elric let out a sigh of relief.
“Ugh. I really thought I was going to die.”
Even if it had only slipped, it was on the verge of death.
It was like going to the threshold of the underworld in a very short time.
The spine was upright. obviously me
Although it was cold, Mr.’s clothes were wet with cold sweat.
“Heh, heh heh.”
Still, for some reason, the laughter came out spontaneously.
A sense of pride and achievement. And the sound of laughter mixed with thrills, etc.
‘■He’s a man full of energy.’
Mephisto only shook his head.
‘Among the demons, no, there is no one so reckless among the demon kings.’
while thinking like that.
Elric stood up and took a slow breath.
He approached the prison while still barely pressing the heart that was beating the bat.
“Appearingly… just looking normal. home.”
It was the same when I saw it from the edge of the cliff.
Except for the characteristic that Mook is located on the side of a cliff, it was not much different in appearance from the mountain huts that were made by hunters to stay comfortably.
The size is not too big, the roof is made of a triangle to prevent snow from accumulating, and a small window. That was all.
As the chieftain of the ‘Blue Snowflake’ looked at this side of the cliff with astonished eyes, there was not much snow on the roof, as it was occasionally maintained. The wood didn’t look too old for something that was built hundreds of years ago.
Elric used a mana scan to see if he could find something else, but couldn’t find anything particularly odd.
So I’m reaching out to the gates of the prison.
‘It’s locked.’
For a moment, Elric’s eyes narrowed.
Lock.
An ancient tactic that can only be dispelled by entering a certain mana pattern.
It seemed that the magic circle was installed inside rather than outside.
‘What is a password?’
Elric thought about trying to hack for a little while, but ended up saving it.
angle folded.
It was because I thought that even if an ancestor made hundreds of years ago and the algorithm combination would be more monotonous than a modern one, it would not have been created enough to be easily unlocked by descendants who were not even at the level of a mage.
But, thinking the other way around, it must have been a combination that the descendants who forgot the password could remember.
Elric entered the mana pattern using the words that came to his mind.
Mervinger, Magical Inscription, Wizard, Demon King, Demon Hunter… .
But no matter how many times I tried to combine it, it was all in vain.
I asked Mephisto’s name to see if it was related to the king of the Yeti who was a friend, but the lock still remained silent.
“•••Well.”
Elric was about to freeze to death in front of the prison after staying like this, so he kept rolling his head to see if there was something else.
But there was no answer for over an hour. Then, suddenly, I thought of something else.
‘If all you need is a mana pattern
Neira, what if it’s a key?’
“•••no way?”
Elric took out the magic wand which he had hidden in his collar and brought it to the door.
Moment.
Paah!
shudder-
A splendid light came out of the door, and then he leaned back.
Elric looked at the mage-gyeong expression and the door alternately with a face full of energy.
If I had known it was this simple, I wouldn’t have been so nervous. little
It was embarrassing.
However, since it has become clear that this is the family home, I smile happily and enter.
Elric remembered that Mephisto had been silent all this time, and turned to where he was.
‘■••• Somehow I thought I was familiar with it. Was it the residence of the ‘winter sage’?
Mephisto’s self-talk with a worried face and a very small voice.
“Winter Wise? What is it?”
Elric asked without missing it, but Mephisto kept his mouth shut and didn’t answer.
Just as when asked about the king of the Yeti, his face was full of stubbornness that he would never give an answer.
But, unless Elric was an idiot, it was easy to predict that the winter sage Mephisto spoke of meant his ancestor.
However, there was something else he was really curious about.
‘I think there is a connection between the king of the Yeti, the ancestors, and even Mephisto. how
What?’
Elric thought about opening Mephisto’s mouth by using his silence and aegyo hell, but he didn’t because he thought that the last remaining righteousness would be hurt if he did.
‘No matter how much I harass the opponent, at least keep the good line.’
Elric slowly entered the room, thinking that if Mephisto had heard it, the sound of a madman would have come out by itself.
and.
“Wow.”
Unknowingly, exclaiming
fell off
Because all the questions related to Mephisto had disappeared in the sight that was already unfolding before my eyes.
The inside of the house was completely different from what it looked like from the outside.
A library with bookshelves over tens of meters long.
The musty smell of old books, which were likely to exceed hundreds of thousands of books, filled the room.
It was never the size that could be accommodated in a small prison.
‘Climatic Control, Pattern Detection in Spatial Overlapping… It seems that there is even an automatic restoration to prevent damage. Can these things be done on this scale?’
At this level, I could never say ‘I’m not going’. It was a library.
‘I think it will have to be at the Central Magic Library or the Royal Library to be able to use it here… ?’
Elric wondered how great his family was, and how much deeper the power of the magical inscription is than is known to the public.
My heart trembled spontaneously, as if I had glimpsed a part of it.
And I happily walked around the library.
For Elric, who has been a book addict since he was a child, this place was nothing short of paradise.
“‘The fundamental doctrine of witchcraft’, is it here? I knew it had been put into practice… If you take it out, the academia will be blown away. ‘Hwarangyo’ in ‘Matan Skills Manual’
‘Conclusion’, ‘Book of Law’? You also worked hard to collect the magic books of our ancestors. Eh? Is there even a ‘Satan Gospel’?”
Elric became the face of my spirit as I looked at the titles of the booklets.
Just by looking at them with the public eye, each and every one of them were mostly great things.
Starting with those that were already known to have been put into practice, there were magic books that contained magic in the booklet itself, magics of fairies and beasts that were not widely known in the human world, and even some types of magic that were designated as forbidden books.
Almost all the books related to witchcraft are
seemed to be here.
However, if there is something sad about it.
“It’s all replicas… . Hmm!”
The entire handwriting was the same, and the material of the paper was also contemporary.
Still, seeing that all the contents are great, I think they copied the original with the original next to it… .
‘Did someone called the Winter Sage copied everything? All these things?’
Elric let go of his regrets and thought positively.
In fact, even the things here
Because he was so great that it was enough to broaden the horizon of his unconscious several times.
As a wizard, he had obtained a great treasure.
‘Because I have a lot of time to look at these in the future. Shall we start by looking for things about magic rituals?’
Elric mainly searched for books related to the history of the family, especially the sijo.
However, many of the booklets do not have titles written on them, so I had to go through them one by one and read the contents even a little, which took a lot of time.
Meanwhile.
Mephisto stood in the middle of the library and just looked inside.
One day, two days, three days pass.
It was around the time when I almost completely closed down food and drink and looked through the booklets for four days.
“•••found.”
Elric was finally able to find the booklet he was looking for.
Even on a deep bookshelf, an old, thin booklet stuck in a corner.
But.
It was never what it contained.
「••• We were originally just a group of scholars who wanted to pursue the ultimate in magic.」
“But at some point, he longed for more power, so he was stained with demons and caused great harm to the world.
I could have realized the mistake… 」
“It’s the same… ? The voice I heard back then.”
Elric slowly recalled the voice he had heard when he first got the inner ship installed at the Magic Light Ceremony and muttered a little.
“In order to right wrongs and make atonement for the past, we were formed and a family was born.”
“It is the reason that we were formed and that the family was born to correct the wrongs and make atonement for the past.
you.”
“The only mission left for our family is to eradicate the devil.”
“The only mission left at the door is to eradicate the devil.”
Even if there was no situation at the time, it was such a strong shock that I remembered every line and every tone of voice clearly.
However, the contents of the booklet
It was the same.
Elric flipped through the pages as quickly as someone possessed.
I wondered if there was anything behind the voice.
and.
“If you eat and eat hemp, will it not disappear someday? Then, true witchcraft will be able to blossom on this earth, and it can be said that this is the mission that heaven has given to our family… 』
「···Then, eating hemp is
Something? It means that we devour what is wrong, vain, and vile. If you can swallow it and swallow it and digest it properly, wouldn’t that also be called a new magic harmony?”
“However, in order to implement this, certain conditions must be met.”
“The first is the sincerity of wanting to stand upright; the second is the unshakable heart; and the third is the peaceful and quiet equanimity. From all kinds of temptations and desires… 』
For a moment, Elric felt as if his eyes were going round and round.
“Eat the hemp.”
‘Swallow the village.’
厂Drink the horse.”
It was as if the letters were popping out one by one from a booklet. They danced round and round among themselves.
Elric thought it was a hallucination, but strangely seemed to know what the contents were.
Then, as all the letters were shattered, my head resounded loudly.
‘Eat, swallow, drink. So put all the villagers into you and take them again. So, raise a new horse!”
At that moment, the magician light shone splendidly.
「Reading this booklet means that you have passed all the conditions mentioned above, and you have completed the first
It means that you have successfully swallowed the first horse.”
‘■Then it will start completely from now on.’
as soon as the word ends.
Elric suddenly came to his senses.
And I looked down at the mage’s ceremony, which was still sprinkling light.
pass-
The rust that had been covering the sorcerer’s ceremony so far was falling into powder.
As if a butterfly was born after parting a cocoon, the necklace had a completely different appearance from the previous mage-style, with each and every one of them peeled off.
A necklace in the shape of ‘FE (only)’.
Emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and diamonds are densely embedded in each of the four parts protruding outward in a clockwise order, giving an elegant impression.
‘I think something has changed… What’s different?’
While Elric tampered with the changed magic ritual, he did not know what the change was clearly in his body, so he lost his magic.
looked back
That moment.
Whoa!
The world surrounding Elric was turned upside down.
and.
“You must be a descendant of the distant future promised to be our arrangement.”
An old gentleman stood in front of Elric and smiled warmly.
Talent Swallowed Mage
