127

It’s been three days since I received the 3rd circle magic book from the Duke.

In the meantime, he had acquired one of the three circle magics, Frozen Lance.

Certainly, from the 3rd circle magic book onwards, the speed at which understanding increased was slow.

It felt like the absolute amount of experience points required had increased significantly, just like in RPG games, the higher the level, the slower the leveling up speed.

So, even with a talent that has grown to a higher level, it must have taken this much time.

‘Well, that’s to be expected.’

The standard for being recognized as a proper wizard was usually 3 circles.

This was because from the 3rd circle onwards, the content of the magic and the difficulty level were noticeably higher than before.

Rather, I should be amazed at how perfectly I understood one magic trick in just three days.

Even if a normal wizard invested more than 300 days, let alone 3 days, he would not be able to raise his understanding of magic to 100%.

Understanding something completely is much more difficult than just skimming through it.

Now that I have learned the magic I can use, I am a full-fledged 3rd circle magician.

I immediately called Erciel.

* ? ?* ? ?*

“……Are you telling me to stay here?”

“That’s right. I need someone to manage the territory while I’m away. I’d like you to take on the role of acting lord.”

Lopelian, the territory ruled by Marquis Houdini.

I was talking to Erciel before heading there.

The main topic was that she was asked to take on the role of surrogate lord.

Not only did I need someone to manage the estate while I was away,

‘It would be very difficult to show yourself to the Marquis.’

You can control light properties.

The attributes that are embedded in the body are not usually revealed.

This was one of the phrases that appeared when I used the spirit training circle and was also granted attributes.

I have seen phrases like this, and the percentage of light properties in my body is still less than 15%, so I should be able to escape Houdini’s surveillance network.

But, Erciel was different.

Recently, the spiritual powers she possessed were gradually increasing.

If you caught Houdini’s eye, it meant you were likely to get into trouble.

Not only is he a great wizard, he is also imbued with evil energy.

The guy’s sense of the light energy could be considered to be at its peak.

It would be better to leave it behind in the territory rather than accompany it to a dangerous place.

“……A proxy lord…… I wonder if I can do it well…….”

“Someone has to do it anyway. The only ones I can trust are you, Seron, and Leonhard. So I’ll leave it to you.”

If I had to add one more here, I would say that I could pick something a little more serious.

However, the three people other than Erciel were not suitable to take charge of the territory.

Simton had to be used to roll the tower right away, and Leonhard had to be my escort on this trip as I was going to meet Houdini.

Lastly, the public opinion was that even though he was good at handling black, he was not a suitable person to be entrusted with the territory.

Eventually, the guy nodded with a sheepish expression.

“When do you plan on coming back?”

“I’ll take the gate from my hometown, so it won’t take too long. Maybe five days at most?”

“If it’s 5 days… I’ll give it a try.”

“thank you.”

“No. Compared to the grace you have given me……”

What a loyal subordinate you are.

“I’ve written down the important tasks of the territory in a document, so you can check it out. Seron and the Sword Guard will be in charge of the escort.”

“yes.”

You’ve been carrying out the work of the territory and moving soldiers and knights, so you should be able to handle your subordinates well.

After leaving the work for the territory like that, I left the castle.

There was only one person accompanying me.

Leonhard.

He was one of the most skilled people in Prinus.

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

A magic carriage was already waiting in front of the castle.

It was a carriage sent from my family home.

After a day of travel, Trasden came into view.

It was still a huge territory.

As we approached the gate in front of the castle, knights approached us.

“Who are you… the Fourth Prince?”

“I want to see my older brother.”

“Yes, you may come in.”

It was literally a free pass up to Abel’s office.

Abel welcomed me as if he had already heard that I had arrived.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

“I remember contacting you from time to time…….”

“Isn’t it different from what you see in reality? Come in.”

Soon after, Abel brought two cups of tea.

“Princess. I heard that the territory there is developing rapidly. I also heard that the praise from the territory’s residents is endless.”

“It must be because the taxes were lowered.”

“Are the city’s taxes increasing?”

“It’s increased a bit since I came. Well… it’s not a significant amount yet, though.”

The city’s tax revenue, which had hit rock bottom, had increased several times over the previous year. Of course, in terms of numbers alone, it was only a slight increase from the bottom, so it was difficult to see it as a meaningful amount. The growth rate was only significant.

“Did you buy the items I told you about before?”

“Yes. I bought everything with the remaining money.”

There were some items whose prices would increase over time, although not as much as grains.

Among them, I selected only the magic materials that could bring quick profits in a short period of time and handed the list to Abel. Since these were materials related to my job, Abel seemed to have bought the list willingly, perhaps because his intuition was triggered.

If they were, they could be a great help to the writer’s finances.

“How are the people you selected last time? Are they following the training well?”

“At first, there were quite a few people who were eliminated. But as time went by, they caught up well on their own. In particular, the people you picked stood out. I was quite surprised.”

Since they all have the characteristic of being long-lasting, they are bound to stand out.

I smiled faintly at Abel’s words.

“That’s fortunate.”

“I still need to check it out a bit more, but I plan on raising them one by one to become full-fledged trainees soon. It’s a great system for expanding the family’s knights. First of all… the maintenance costs are very low.”

I looked at Abel after drinking a cup of tea.

“Hammington. What happened to him?”

“I’ve dealt with all the related family members. Since they dared to spread information about the family… they should be punished.”

“okay.”

“You look like you’re in a pretty good mood.”

“Do you see it that way?”

Abel nodded at those words.

“You and the Baron weren’t on good terms. In fact, I didn’t like him either. By the way… you said you were moving to Lopelian.”

“Yes. Marquis Houdini, the chairman of the Eastern Tower Council, has come to see me. May I use the family gate? The Kaylon family will compensate me with mana stones.”

“Of course. He is a renowned great wizard, so meeting him might be of great help to me.”

Houdini.

The guy’s reputation was pretty good.

First of all, he had already gained a foothold with the title of Grand Wizard, and the Houdini family was also famous as one of the great wizards.

The Marquis of Celtarion.

This was now an ally who had to walk with me.

They say that even a blank piece of paper is better if you hold it, so it goes without saying that it was even better when it was my family home.

From the Marquis Houdini to the immortals who occupy the imperial throne.

I was planning to send my family to fight against them as an ally. Now was the time to start laying some groundwork. It wasn’t hard to decide on a topic to start the conversation.

“Big brother.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Do you remember what Adolf showed you last time?”

“……Of course I remember.”

“That’s what my older brother said back then. That the person behind it might not be human.”

“……That’s what it was.”

“I have also been investigating from various angles since then. Has your family found out anything?”

“……I have absolutely no idea.”

“I also did some research in the meantime. In particular… along with old books, I focused on exploring legends and folktales that were considered to be nothing more than rumors in each region.”

“Is there a reason you investigated them?”

“To be honest, it would be absurd to say that humans were behind it. If they were the ones who told the story that has been passed down as legends for a very long time, wouldn’t they know?”

“It’s a legend… I guess that could be true. It was such an evil force. By any chance… were there any results?”

I nodded heavily at the guy’s words.

“It’s just a guess, but probably. It seems like it was done by evil beings known to have existed for a very long time. Do you know anything about the continent’s past history?”

“I don’t know. Can you explain it to me?”

“Yes. Are you aware that there are other continents besides this central continent?”

“……Yes. There were four in total. East, West, South, North. There were adventurers who went to explore there…… but I heard that none of them came back.”

“According to some ancient texts, the continent was originally one. It was split into five parts. When the continent was one… all races called that time the ‘Dark Ages.’”

“……Dark Ages?”

This was one of those pieces of information that was pretty well kept hidden.

First of all, it was because there were very few people who knew this fact.

Of course, it was one of the pieces of information I already knew, even though I was a rotten fish.

Dark Ages.

It could literally be said that it was a time when all races, including humans, experienced hell.

It was a history of humiliation and fear.

After that, when the ancient empires were born, the ruling class of the empires almost completely destroyed those records. That is why there are almost no records of them in current history books.

Originally, it was necessary to find out by synthesizing the oral traditions of each region along with numerous ancient books, or by obtaining information from the very few people who knew about this fact.

I already knew, so I didn’t need to do that.

“Yes. They say that back then, darkness occupied the continent. It was a darkness so strong that not even the sun could rise. At that time… they say that there were monsters who were given power by the darkness and ruled the east, west, south, and north of the continent.”

“…….”

Abel’s expression hardened at my words.

but.

By now you probably know what I’m going to say.

After seeing the guy, I continued speaking.

“Four monsters of great power. They are said to have gained freedom from the darkness that even death cannot restrain. They are called ‘immortals.’”

“Immortals… Are you saying that the monsters from long ago are the ones responsible for this incident?”

“I think it’s quite possible. Adolf. The way he looked in his last moments… is very similar to the information we found out. Darkness. It was written that he shows such a look when he seeks power that is not permitted to humans.”

“……Why now…… No, if those monsters had such great power, they should just show themselves……”

The information I gave was very fragmentary.

So, you may have more than one or two questions.

That doesn’t mean I intended to reveal the whole story.

Up to this point, a great deal of information had been revealed. Although it was said that it had been found out through various investigations, it was not a satisfactory explanation for everything.

‘Well. I’ve already dropped the bait.’

If the time ever comes for Houdini to draw his sword, the information I have provided you now will be of great help in making that decision.

The same would apply to immortals.

“Big brother. I don’t know the details either. I found several ancient books by chance, and the information I was able to find was very fragmentary. Even now, I’m only talking about it half based on speculation. Anyway, one thing is certain… the situation on the continent is not good.”

“Umm…….”

“Even a noble family like ours was not free from their grasp. What about the other families? The Imperial Family, the Magic Tower Society, the Holy Empire, the Five Kingdoms, etc… If they can hand over such great power, the number of people who fall for its temptation will be as numerous as grains of sand.”

“……If what you say is true……then this is a big problem. However……there is only so much our family can do right now.”

That was true.

No matter how powerful the Marquis family was, it was ultimately only one of the ten most powerful families in the empire.

Even if you realize the truth, it doesn’t mean you can stop everything.

That was something I had to do myself.

but.

When it comes to confronting evil forces, including Houdini, he will certainly be able to help.

This much was entirely possible.

If we could just catch that guy, the East would be cleaned up in its own way. I quietly replied after seeing Abel.

“……We must do what we can. There can only be one reason why they do this. The downfall of humanity. That is all I can think of.”

“Umm… Have you thought about how you’re going to act?”

“Right now, I think it would be best to increase the power of the territory and improve my skills. If circumstances allow, I think it would be best to look for someone like Adolf.”

Well, we’ve already gotten past the stage of searching and are now at the stage of slowly colliding with each other.

“Okay, I’ll try using my own information network. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know.”

“I have a favor to ask of you. I need some materials… Please take these first.”

After I finished speaking, I handed Abel two books.

“This is……”

“These are the forensic books.”

Storm Sword Type 2.

It was a swordsmanship book that described the movements and the way the aura circulated.

There, he further modified one of the seven sword techniques that exist within the family.

Not all of them were remodeled.

Because there was no need to give everything right away.

So only about 40% of the movement was transformed.

This alone was a priceless treasure to the writer.

If it’s this.

It would be possible to teach swordsmanship to the knights in the territory and obtain materials as well?

Give and take.

My values ​​were still the same.
