A few days after hunting the wild boar, I received a letter from Horacio.
The letter to my parents seemed to contain a letter to me.
The first letter I ever received in this world was written in Horacio’s methodical handwriting.
"Hua Wuming, how are you?"
"I am fine."
"As Hua Wuming said, the royal capital is an amazing city."
It's much larger than the mountains surrounding Azka Village, and is filled with castles, mansions, and other stunning structures.
I hope to take Hua Wuming around the capital when he comes to visit, but I haven't left the training school on the edge of the capital yet.
"The only time I go out is when I go to carry the knights' luggage. I don't think I can lead them for the time being."
"The training to become a knight was so rigorous and painful, I cried a lot."
"But when things get difficult, I will ignite the magical tools Hua Wuming gave me."
Looking at the flames of the magic weapon, I thought of the scenery in the village and the festival held on the day I left the nest.
"Hua Wuming seems to cheer me up in the flames, telling me to do my best and become a knight. It always cheers me up."
"I believe you will continue to receive rigorous training, but I will keep my promise to Hua Wuming and become a knight, so please come and visit the capital one day."
"I hope to see you again."
"From Horacio
According to Mr. Zeol, trainee knights were forced to train in order to gain basic physical strength.
Horacio has a kind heart and a strong will, but no matter how strong he is, he is only at the level of a child in the village. He must have worked hard to become a knight.
Imagining Horacio crying while staring into the flames of the magic weapon, I began to worry whether he was actually okay.
Thinking back on my past life, I began to feel insecure about whether I had been teased or bullied because I was a country kid.
"Even so, he wrote forcefully that he would keep his promise to me and would become a knight, so let's just take his word for it."
In order to keep my promise, I decided to become an official adventurer who can go to the royal capital.
The day after receiving Horacio's letter was the day of the tournament, but my motivation had run out and I was beaten.
“That’s all for today”
"Thank you so much"
"I don't know what happened, but you didn't suddenly become stronger."
"that's right..."
"Bring some water and cool your head."
It's the season of dazzling new green, and I'm covered in sweat and dust after practice.
At first, I thought it was some kind of medicinal bath, but lately, Mr. Zeol has been making really delicious tea.
"Mr. Zeol, what is the magic item?"
"Why, you won't suddenly ask some strange things, right?"
"I think if you want to subdue monsters, it's best to have a water magic weapon."
I felt the need for magic weapons when I defeated the orcs, but I found that I lacked knowledge about magic weapons, so I asked him while drinking tea.
"Yes, Hua Wuming has natural attributes, so it's best to have a water-based magic weapon that can wash away the blood stains attached during disassembly."
"I think so too. Next time I have a chance to go to Ibro Town, I also want to visit the magic tool shop, but I don't know what to base my choice on."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll show you what I have."
There are four kinds of magic tools in Mr. Zeol's private room.
Water magic weapon, fire magic weapon, light magic weapon, and the last one is wind magic weapon.
"I don't need a wind magic weapon because I am of the wind attribute, but I have this guy."
In my house, the well is used as water, the mother method is used as fire, the lamp is used as light, and the fan is used as wind, so there are no magical instruments.
The price of the regalia is not unexpectedly expensive, so it's not a price that even poor families can afford, but they can manage without it.
"This water magic weapon is a type that can be used even with magic stones, but you can use it by yourself. I'll just let the water flow and use it."
The magic water set is a plate 5 cm wide, 15 cm long and about 2 cm thick.
The material is smooth stone and the other side of the leather strap is engraved with a magic circle.
The magic circle consists of multiple concentric circles and complex patterns, with a line extending from the outermost circle to the handle.
At first glance, it looks like an otaku lollipop.
"I don't know the specific situation, but this magic circle seems to be made of some materials that can easily let magic pass through, such as monster horns, fangs, etc. When the magic essence flows through this magic circle, the magic will be Release." activated. It seems
"I understand, can I try it for a while?"
"Oh, I don't mind, but the rooms here get flooded, so please do it in the sink or in the garden."
When I walked into the garden, held the handle of the instrument, and imagined the essence of the instrument circulating, water overflowed from the instrument.
I tried using body strengthening magic to inject extra magic, but only up to a certain amount.
The line extending from the magic circle seems to be a wire, injecting magic essence into it, and magic tools can be used even if the magic stone is pressed here.
The basic structures of fire magic weapons, light magic weapons, and wind magic weapons are all the same.
"The difference lies in the size and pattern of the magic circle?"
"Yes, generally speaking, the larger the magic circle, the easier it is for matter to pass through the magic, and the more powerful the magic is. Depending on the type of magic, the patterns of the magic circle will also be different."
"Indeed, in comparison, the patterns of all magic arrays are completely different."
The pattern of the magic circle is very complex, and the accuracy of the magic circle seems to affect the efficiency.
"Mr. Zeol, can I copy the pattern of this magic circle?"
"I don't mind, but do you want to make your own magical tools?"
"No, I find it difficult to do it myself, but I want to see it."
Paper and ink are still very expensive in this country, so I drew the magic circle carefully to avoid any mistakes.
The next day, I went to Kawara with the magic circle I had drawn.
Using a stick made of natural magic, a fire magic circle is drawn on the riverbed.
I repainted it about three times to make it as clean as possible without distortion.
Of course, even if you draw on the dirt of a riverbed, it won't catch fire.
"So, how about this?"
Just like the magic circle drawn on the riverbed, I used natural magic to harden the air into the shape of the magic circle.
It is not as fragile as paper, but is ten centimeters in diameter and three centimeters thick.
"Wow! It's so powerful, it's really on fire."
When I was looking at the magic tools, I thought that magic could be activated by solidifying the air containing magic essence into the shape of a magic circle, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good.
I not only tried the fire magic array, but also the water magic array, the light magic array, and the wind magic array, all of which were normal.
“That’s great, I don’t have to buy magic weapons.
In this world, everyone can only use one attribute magic.
So far, many people have been studying and constantly challenging themselves, but no one seems to have been able to control multiple attributes.
If the magic circle created by this natural magic can be used at any time, to be precise, it is using imprinting magic, but it does not look like one person is controlling multiple attributes.
"Ah but it looks bad so shouldn't I use it in public?"
If this was the first or only one in the world, I'd feel weirdly envious and resentful, so I won't show it to people anymore unless it's unavoidable.
I decided to go to a secluded place to practice.
Upon further observation, it seems that the power of the magic activated depends on the size of the magic circle and the strength of the solidified air, while the duration of the magic varies according to the thickness of the magic circle.
As a test, when the fire magic array and the wind magic array overlapped, the flames rushed very high.
By adjusting the shape and power, it might be possible to create something like a burner or hair dryer.
I would love to make a hair dryer that I can use to dry my hair after a shower in the winter.
The magic circle can be combined with wind and water, and depending on the adjustment, seems to be able to produce something like high-pressure water flow or dry mist.
However, I tried using a fire magic circle combined with a water magic circle to create hot water, but it didn't work.
Some magic circles are incompatible and cannot be combined, but there are others that can be used, and the possibilities are, quite literally, endless.
However, the pattern of the magic circle is very complicated, and I don’t think it can be made without a sample.
It would be fine to look at a sample when dismantling it or making a camp fire or something like that, but if it was to be used in combat it would have to be made immediately to any size.
"Hey, it's impossible not to use this in battle, right? Let's tame this guy and become an adventurer that surprises Horacio."
"In short, memorize various magic arrays accurately and practice them so that they can be formed in an instant."
The new mission may seem difficult, but it seems worth the challenge.
Entering June, the number of rainy days increases.
The villagers simply call it the rainy season, but I secretly call it the rainy season.
The seasonal changes in Azka Village are very similar to the four seasons in China.
This wet season is even more annoying for cat lovers who wear their fur.
The rainy season is over and the sun-drenched summer has arrived, but it's still a tough season for cat lovers.
It was the same this year. Except for the day of training with Zeol, I spent the day in a cool place by the stream.
"Even though it's raining, you're still practicing with Zeol."
If you create the roof and floor with heavenly magic, it doesn't matter if it rains.
The balance that collapsed due to the loss of control of magic power has been mostly restored, and the area solidified by magic power has become wider.
Goblins, Orcs, and Demonline, two rapidly expanding forces, seem to be developing in a positive direction.
Gradually, I began to see signs of improvement in my art.
Even as Mr. Zeol took a stand, the number and length of our meetings increased.
"Shh!"
"oh!"
Even if the inserted stick is bounced away, it will not fly away from the hand like before.
