After thinking about it, maybe her strange behavior last night was because of fear.
If she couldn't control this ability freely, she would probably be frightened when she saw Kellas.
"Also, let me tell you first, if you plan to go to the demon clan, I will refuse it at any time."
Binelle sighed: "You were so shameless and asked me for a deposit just now. If you turn against me now, I will think you are a robber."
No, just basic work ethics as a janitor.
Although those guys don't actually follow this kind of thing, I still need it - I just occasionally make some changes that conform to nature due to force majeure... After all, the devil is not financially strapped now. Well, how can we do this without developing some side business?
"That's my bottom line. After all, running into the territory of the demon clan and being close to the demon king doesn't look right."
Especially if you have talent.
Most people think that only talent leads to bravery, but in reality the situation may be just the opposite.
First, it was determined who would become the hero, and then talents were randomly given to them.
It's like layers of sieves.
Of course, the fact that I became a hero seems even more special - I was gifted from the moment I was summoned to this world.
I also discovered this when I was traveling and hearing stories about brave men, and I was on the verge of death while defeating a ferocious demonic beast.
I - I have talent, but it's useless.
"Understood, I won't do anything stupid like that - in fact, I am an explorer of the empire." Binelle smiled, and a majestic temperament appeared that was not in line with her status. On her body, "But I am promoted from a commoner, so many people don't like me."
"A fight between nobles?"
interesting.
So I made an interesting look.
"You can think so, but I won't admit it." Binelle took out an old map from her body. It seemed to be made with special magic materials. Most of the empire's territory had been drawn on it. It's just rather vague in a lot of places.
To put it simply, there is a big outline. Where there are mountains, it is not clear where the mountains go.
"Draw a map?" This time I was really surprised.
The human empire has been established for a long time. Although the territory has been constantly changing due to some reasons, from the history I know, the last time a country's territory changed was not long ago. It has been more than ten years, and even redrawing the map is enough.
"Is it weird?"
My surprise was probably evident in my words, so Binelle smiled unnecessarily.
"In fact, very few people come here. After all, it's too dangerous, especially in the mountains and wilderness. No one knows what kind of dangers there may be. Let's talk while walking. It just so happens that we won't be so lonely on the road."
Is such that--
I forgot the fact that this place is close to the territory of the demon clan.
Last night, we met a demon clan near the Immortal Fortress. I'm afraid it would be even more the case further away, right?
Walking directly from the back door to the wilderness, my eyes suddenly opened up.
"This is the buffer zone." Binelle said in a determined tone. "Although it is nominally the territory of the empire, the Immortal Fortress has been built farther away."
By giving up this area and putting it in front of the demons, you have actually given up.
"If we don't really advance the human territory to dangerous places, I'm afraid this place will always be just a blank space full of fog on the map."
It's not that I don't want to draw it, but because it's not necessary?
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed understandable.
After all, if a war is launched, the first place to be affected will be here. Under the influence of enemy-level war magic, the terrain of this place may be completely changed.
"I see, but it looks like you look like-"
"This is a personal act in an official name." Binelle said quietly, "It is really heartbreaking to think that there is such a blank space in the human territory."
is it really like this?
I'm afraid it's just one reason.
Although what he said sounded like the truth, it was precisely because the words he said were so calm and convincing that it made people even more confused.
"Do you think if someone wanted you to die, they would choose here?"
"Death is not a possibility, but it is entirely possible to find someone to scare me - robbers, exiles, all of them are possible." Binelle said lightly, "Although I have tried mercenaries, it is not enough for those guys. We all retreated when we came here.”
The purpose is not to kill, but more like to give a taste of color, which is indeed a bit ironic.
"I probably understand."
But, although you concealed it well, there was something that betrayed you.
I'm afraid this Binelle has something else hidden.
Looking up, the first mountain peak is in sight.
Binelle took out some spell-casting materials from her bag and said to me with a smile: "Then, I'll ask you to protect me, and I'll set up the magic circle needed for surveying and mapping."
Magic circle for surveying and mapping...
It always feels like something unexpected happened, and I feel a little uncomfortable hearing such professional words from a person from another world.
But then again——
"Is this new-school magic?"
Although I have heard about it a lot, I have actually been exposed to very little new magic.
The blue runes were carved on the stone, and now they were emitting a faint light under the charge of magic power.
"Is Mr. Lin also a magician?" She looked at the sword tied to my waist and looked at me with a half-smile.
"Magic Swordsman."
I don't know why Binelle suddenly felt a little disappointed in her words: "Classical magic."
There is nothing we can do about this.
After all, I am a combat unit like a hero, so it is natural to learn classical magic that is mostly used for combat and killing.
But then again, is she actually someone who learns new magic?
No wonder he was envied even though he was a commoner.
The so-called new magic——
They were all invented in the past hundred years, applying magic to productivity.
From small magic crystal lanterns that can be used by ordinary people, to large rail trains that travel between cities, and even wide-area communication networks used across the country, these are all products of the new magic stomach.
Of course, this is just my general summary of new-school magic.
Regarding "what is new magic", the Magicians Association naturally has a clearer classification, but as a user of classical magic, I certainly don't understand this kind of thing.
And other users of classical magic don't know much about it.
After all, for some classical users, the environment in which new magic is used makes them more like laborers...
