The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 38
Only Noblemtl
#38. The End of Spring (3)
“Diold!”
Liliana shouted at Diold, who was badly injured in an instant. He was a rotten blood relative, but he had never returned from anywhere injured.
“Ugh.”
Diold groaned softly as he fell to the ground. Liliana tried to run to him right away, but her body froze at the shout that followed.
“Reel, damage!”
“what-”
Raise your head.
Then the monster in front of my eyes.
The giant bull-shaped thing had glowing red eyes and swung its axe at Liliana.
If you get hit, you die instantly.
As she stared at the Minotaur, her eyes wide open in fear, a huge wall of earth rose from the ground.
Phew!
A small difference saved her life. Liliana, who had been hit by the impact of the collapsed earthen wall and was covered in a pile of dirt, quickly realized what was happening.
‘Diold used magic.’
The monster instinctively senses magic. That means that its attention was just drawn to Diold by magic.
Liliana did not shout. Beyond the smoky dust, she could see Diold confronting the Minotaur.
“This way!”
He greeted the Minotaur with a solemn expression. However, he had neglected his training due to long-term brainwashing, so there was no way he could defeat a mid-level monster that even a knight would have difficulty dealing with.
“Ugh…!”
Diold groaned as he was immediately attacked by the Minotaur. If he had not been the owner of the powerful defensive Jikjima Sword, this was a blow that would have shattered all his bones and killed him long ago.
Still, watching Diold desperately fight against the monsters, Liliana felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Diold and himself.
I didn’t think there would be much difference.
Since I can’t accept a guy like that as a king, I’ve even imagined what it would be like if I ascended to the throne myself.
But what about now?
He is clearly a burden.
The moment I see Diold’s red eyes, full of fighting spirit, holding on even with weak magic power, my strength leaves me.
‘Fuck, fuck, shit… … .’
What are the duties and rights of royalty?
The entire nation was in danger and there was nothing they could do.
She stretched out her hand and tried to draw a magic spell in the air, even though she knew it was useless. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t draw the equation she remembered clearly in her head.
The magical circuits throughout my body vibrate.
My body trembled with the terrible pain that was approaching me, as if it was no longer my domain, as if it was punishment for using magic power when I had no talent.
Crack.
My tongue was bitten and bleeding. But the excruciating pain that dominated my body was too much to react to such a wound.
What’s even more painful is that he is hiding, leaving everything to Diold.
Finally she cried out.
“Diold, get out of the way!”
“reel?”
“Don’t fight, run away, you idiot!”
In response to Diold’s question of what he meant, Liliana gritted her teeth and shouted.
“You are the crown prince! If you die, the future of this country will be lost!”
Then his eyes wavered.
The value of a crown prince who will succeed the throne cannot be compared to that of a mere princess.
If he were to die, how chaotic would the country be? The greedy nobles would rush in with their eyes burning with desire to make a collateral relative more than 7th cousin the crown prince and make him a puppet. If a civil war breaks out in the process, the blood of innocent citizens will be shed.
That much was unacceptable.
If one of them has to die, it’s not Diold, it’s me.
“but…….”
Those damn blood relatives.
You probably already know what I just remembered, but your brain cells are still spinning, perhaps because of the long brainwashing. Or maybe your leg bones are all broken and you can’t escape.
It doesn’t matter either way.
She had her magical powers maxed out. The magical powers that had not yet been released were writhing violently.
“The princess’s magical power circuit is closed. It’s not that she doesn’t have magical power, but she can’t use magic because there’s no outlet.”
“Can’t you break through it?”
“The magic circuit is like a blood vessel. However, once it is wounded, it does not heal. In the princess’s case, if you try to forcibly open the magic circuit… … you will probably die.”
What a fucking cursed constitution.
After hearing the palace wizard’s declaration, Liliana gave up magic.
Even if you forcefully break through the magic circuit, you can only use one or two shots at most. After pouring in that much, you are dead.
In that case, it would be wise to give up. That’s how it was back then.
But now it’s different.
okay.
At least this time.
Both hands are brought together neatly.
‘Oh, God, I hope so.’
I’ve lived my whole life giving up.
So just this once.
Give me the strength to save my fucking brother.
The magical power pouring down like a tidal wave eats away at the circuits.
In the excruciating pain of bone-crushing pain, one weakened part finally gave way.
Magic power pours out from the pierced hole.
Chapter 1, Section 7 of the Jigeumma Island.
『Earth Bullet』
Among the infinite number of magic spells, this one is so simple that it makes you yawn.
A very weak and trivial magic that can pierce through a pile of straw, used by children who are just learning magic for the first time.
It becomes huge, containing vast magical powers that have been trapped for 25 years.
TOOQUAAAAH!
A violent manifestation in the form of pressing down. It is a method so ineffective that even a great magician would click his tongue.
But the effect was certain.
“Gasp, gasp… … .”
Liliana gasped and watched the aftereffects of the magic she had fired.
The bullet that destroyed the Minotaur in one blow left a huge dent in its wake. A cloud of dust covered the ground.
“Shit.”
She sank to the ground, her legs giving out. Life-like magical power continued to flow out through the broken magical circuits, but it was okay.
Liliana muttered, covering her eyes with her arms.
“I could have done it too… … .”
I could do it.
***
“what?”
Cedric, who was carrying me and climbing the coffin, stopped as the vibrations were strong enough to shake the trees. Izumi, who was leading the way, also tilted her head.
“Is it an earthquake?”
“If there’s an earthquake in this situation, it must be the work of the demon guy. We have to hurry.”
Cedric’s judgment is correct. In the first place, the country is not one that experiences frequent earthquakes.
‘There was no earthquake in the original.’
If something is already distorted, it’s difficult. At least until Changcheon, we should definitely enjoy the upper hand in information.
My heart became anxious.
“Let’s hurry up a little.”
“yes.”
Despite my urging to get closer to the luggage, the two followed without complaint.
Thanks to that, I was able to arrive at the ‘center’ I saw in the original work in no time.
“What is this? Cyberpunk?”
“This is… … something you would only find in a principality. I never thought there would be a space like this inside a tree.”
“Excuse me, can you describe what it looks like?”
“ah.”
Cedric, who heard what I said, started explaining with an ‘Oops’ expression.
“Complicated machinery, um. What should I say?”
I just ignored Cedric’s ramblings. I could see what he looked like anyway. I asked for an explanation simply because I had to stick to the concept.
‘It’s definitely a heterogeneous space.’
If the rest of Changcheon was like a giant tree in a fantasy, this place was different.
A square room measuring 20m by 20m, surrounded by a dark iron wall.
Around that wall, large computers are lined up. They are second-generation computers, made by replacing vacuum tubes with transistors as the circuit components.
Of course, the performance isn’t that great. Even so, it’s a new technology that’s hard to imagine in the southern part of the Eastern Continent, where carriages are driven on unpaved roads.
“It looks like the way to open the door is by touching it… … I can’t do that.”
Izumi quickly gave up.
For him, who has lived on Earth in the 21st century, the computer in front of him was an antique whose working principles he had no idea about, so it was understandable.
“Get out of the way. Let me touch it.”
Cedric carefully put me down and confidently approached the main board.
“It’s not a difficult structure.”
He was surprisingly good at using computers.
‘In the original, Izumi failed to unlock the password, so she fiddled around with things and accidentally opened the door leading to the inner chamber.’
The problem is that I don’t know if that ‘accidental opening while touching this and that’ will happen again this time. In the animation, it was just a description of someone giving up and just pressing on it…
Here, it is better to leave it to the slow and sure side. Cedric, a native of the Western Continent, seemed familiar with the science and technology of this era.
‘That’s fortunate.’
Honestly, I can’t handle that either.
What do you know about 2.5 generation computers?
My major is physics, not computer engineering. It would be easier to build a tokamak for nuclear fusion.
“…hmm.”
Cedric, who was solving the problem one by one, soon groaned. It seemed like something was blocking him.
“What’s going on?”
“… That part requires the use of a magic circuit, and it’s not something I can solve.”
“Can you tell me?”
“Of course.”
Finally, my eyes widened as I realized the problem.
‘This is totally my specialty!’
