Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 187

Chapter 187:

Interpretation of Power

Elric was startled.

dragon?

Why is that suddenly mentioned here?

[Dragon language? Are you talking about dragon language?]

So the first thought that came to Elric’s mind had to be dragon language.

However, as soon as he spoke the words, he realized that this was not what Mephisto meant.

Yongeon is a type of language.

That’s almost the highest level of speech.

Even though I mainly use Yongyeong magic, I haven’t developed it any further than this yet, but ordinary people use Yongyeong?

It was nonsense.

『Those guys aren’t some kind of draconian or dragoon, so how can they use terminology? They won’t be able to use it properly either.』

Sure enough. Mephisto looked at Elric as if asking what kind of nonsense he was saying.

Elric had to scratch his cheek with a puzzled look on his face.

However, now I know what Mephisto meant.

[So… you’re saying you’re using the language of dragons?]

『It’s similar.』

[You mean it’s similar?]

『If it was truly a dragon language, the king would have noticed it from the beginning. However, the reason it is so late is because it is a deteriorated version of the dragonfish.』

[Deteriorated version?]

『Yes. The original language of that language was probably Dragon Clan. It was close to the dragon, so it contained numerous meanings and contained truth, so it was able to change all things little by little… However, it seems to have weathered over time and remained in its current form.』

Elric’s eyes lit up.

I heard from Sailor that the mountain people have been divided into numerous tribes since ancient times, so they did not interact with each other very often. So there are hundreds to thousands of tribal languages?

The Borfur tribe has only recently risen rapidly and is now considered one of the 12 tribes.

Considering that their power was originally small.

‘Is the beginning of the tribe related to dragons?’

It occurred to me that I might encounter an interesting opportunity in an unexpected place.

[But how on earth do you know this?]

『Who was the one that King Bon fought until the end?』

[The last… Dragon King?]

『Yes. It was King Bon who personally cut off the life of the last remaining dragon in this world. Not only that, King Bon personally ripped off the wings of many dragons and broke their necks. Then how come you don’t know about the dragon language?』

Elric nodded as if it made sense.

My magic gemstone was originally created by combining a dragon heart and a demon jewel.

『Anyway, it’s a fun place. I thought they were just people who were far away from the benefits of civilization, but I heard that they are friends with dragons that have no interaction with humans other than Mervinger. It doesn’t seem like he was born with dragon blood.』

All the way into the canyon.

Mephisto’s eyes, full of interest, were fixed on the Borfur tribe, and he could not take them off.

* * *

“Originally, giving up land to the soldiers of the empire would be the same as betraying the tribe… but since Sailor-sama asked for it, I am granting it.”

“thank you.”

“There is unused land in the north. Use that place. And… please stay quietly.”

The old man, who identified himself as the village chief, spoke the imperial language fluently and allowed the Star Servants to set up a military camp.

But the eyes of the young men looking at them were full of wariness.

There was a strong will to exterminate you immediately if you committed any nonsense.

Of course, the place where the Star Servant requested help was a place where there were clans within the Borfur tribe who pursued peace and refused to participate in the war, so the scale was so small that it was absolutely not at a level where the Star Servant could be dealt with by force.

But if they poison the well, it would be a really big deal.

Elric and Isabelle strongly advised the soldiers not to touch the clan members and, if possible, not to have any contact with them.

If I hadn’t been a sailor who had a connection with this place in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to get a position, so I didn’t want to cause any unnecessary irritation.

Since the soldiers had the same thoughts, there was no particular disturbance.

From the beginning, this place was traditionally called the territory of the mountain people. It was an area called ‘outside’ in the empire.

I had no intention of causing an accident in a place like this and being isolated like a remote island and then being wiped out.

Although I was surprised that the movements of Count Calliger and Viscount Curanciville, who had been very wary of possible backlash, were so quiet.

Still, the installation of the military camp proceeded without much difficulty.

At that time, everyone was busy procuring drinking water and looking for things to use as food.

Elric had asked Isabel to do something for him and was walking far away from the military camp alone.

It was to have some time for oneself.

『What are you going to do?』

“Training.”

『Training?』

Mephisto suddenly looked at Elric with an expression as if he was saying something stupid.

“I realized something.”

During the war.

Elric learned a lot while dealing with Sagnad and Judas.

And I even thought that it might be difficult to overcome this crisis if I were satisfied with the strength I have now.

This was the middle of enemy territory, and there were too many superhumans in the world who were beyond the category of humans.

I needed to get stronger even just for a day.

『Couldn’t it be a power?』

“That’s right?”

『Damn talented bastard.』

Mephisto’s face was now tired.

That’s because he meant that he had already found an application for ‘North Wind’ and ‘Snow Snow’!

The power of the Winter Sage was so outstanding that even Grigori coveted it.

Of course, it would take an average person a year just to control it and handle it skillfully.

How on earth did it come to be that I am already trying to change it to my taste?

『So what are you going to do?』

“I’m going to touch the North Wind.”

『Not a cold snow?』

“A cold snow is easy. First of all, the structure itself randomly blows in a winter storm and wipes out the surrounding area, right? Then, if you narrow down the area to the desired direction, you will be able to use it more efficiently.”

『It’s for field use.』

“Bingo.”

Cold snow turns a certain area into an area of ice at absolute zero temperature in an instant.

If the range and direction could be controlled, the existing disadvantage of consuming a huge amount of horsepower could be overcome.

『What is the reinforcement method?』

“Wouldn’t it be possible to build an image barrier?”

In short, it meant arbitrarily installing barriers to fix the range. Then the winter storm will only wander inside the barrier.

However, building a barrier requires considerable preparatory work.

It was difficult to use on the battlefield where everything was moving quickly.

So what I came up with was the image barrier.

Mental image. In other words, it seemed like it would be very useful in controlling cold snow if I used the method of bringing out and realizing the scenery I had drawn in my mind into the outside world.

『Is that easy?』

Of course, it was never as easy as it sounds.

In the first place, it was ridiculous to allow something in my head to interfere with the physical world.

It was a story that an ordinary wizard could not even dream of.

“I’m still thinking about it. Still, I thought it would be okay to just come up with a good algorithm.”

Elric had organs that others did not have.

Mind’s eye.

And monkfish persimmon.

Randomly generating magic fields by picking grains is already being done to this day. It was thought that there was a good chance of victory if the scope could be expanded and ‘fixed’ according to Agwigam.

『Okay… do whatever you want. “What about the North Wind?”

“That’s the problem.”

As soon as Elric found a place where there were no signs of people, he sat down on a flat rock and narrowed his eyes.

“The key is how to raise the synchronization rate… Hmm!”

If it were all about simply summoning a guardian, Elric actually had nothing to worry about.

If you strengthen Hanseol’s power, the Guardian’s power will also increase.

But Elric was using Guardians in other ways as well.

Possession. How can we extend that very short time and bring in more of the power that the ghost had when it was alive?

“【Come out】.”

Tsutsutsu –

Elric flicked the air and summoned the ghost that had possessed Judah when he faced him.

As the shadow swayed, a ghost knight suddenly appeared upwards.

A person holding a long spear in one hand.

There was quite a sense of intimidation.

Cheek!

However, contrary to his violent spirit, the ghost knight knelt on one knee in front of Elric and bowed his head.

It means that it has Elric, Otto Han’s successor, as its master. It exuded absolute loyalty.

“hey.”

The ghost knight slightly raised his head upward.

If you have anything to say, please do as much as you can.

Elric looked at the guy quietly and asked with a serious face.

“What is your name?”

…Kirilik?

The ghost knight remained silent for a moment, then tilted his head to the side.

He said he had no idea what it meant.

“What is your name?”

Kirilik.

The ghost knight’s head returned to its original position.

The blue flame nestled in the snowball shook violently.

“Where did you live?”

….

“Did you have a lover?”

….

“What about your parents?”

….

“You don’t remember anything?”

….

“shit. If you can’t speak, will you react in any way? “How can I know anything if I stay still?”

No matter what question Elric asked, the ghost knight just remained in a rigid posture without any answer.

Elric burst into anger. I feel like I’m going to die of frustration.

When Mephisto saw it, there was no comic talk or anything like that.

I just asked the reason with a puzzled look on my face.

『What on earth are you doing?』

“I thought that if I knew anything about this guy, my tuning rate would increase.”

Elric thought that the reason he had limitations in raising the power of the ghosts was because he did not have a deep ‘understanding’ of the ghosts.

Unlike Otto Han, he had no significant contact with the Guardians. I just accepted what Otto Hahn gave me as a gift.

So, I vaguely thought that if I could become friends with the Guardians, I could increase the sympathy rate.

however.

“That’s stupid.”

Mephisto just thought it was even more ridiculous.

“Oh why?”

『It’s because you do such useless things.』

“What…!”

『After all, loyal vassals are not treated that way.』

Elric was about to get annoyed at Mephisto, wondering if he was talking about something useless again, but at that moment, he flinched without realizing it due to the intimidation he was giving off.

Even though they simply have their arms crossed.

I could feel the attitude and dignity of a great demon king who subjugated ten thousand demons.

『Your attitude is wrong. A monarch must stand above all people. They must be subjugated, worshiped, and held in awe. You should never be at eye level or take a low stance like your parents.』

“…!”

『Aren’t you also someone who wants to build a family and rise higher than anyone else? If so, have the appropriate attitude and dignity. Make it a habit to keep your gaze high and look down. Only then will everything in the world be seen in your eyes. In low places, you can only see low things.』

Elric had to experience the feeling of being hit hard in the back of the head with every word Mephisto said.

Look high.

See everything in the world in your eyes like a painting.

These two words deeply touched his heart.

Normally, Elric would have had to learn regalia from the elders of his family, but now he is finally learning vaguely from Mephisto.

“Then what should I ask here?”

『You have to create the solution.』

Mephisto’s lips twisted slightly. It was a smile full of laughter.

Elric’s face crumpled.

Because it meant that I would never give it raw.

but.

Elric somehow seemed to know what to say here.

So I looked back at the ghost knight who was still motionless and asked.

“hey.”

What?

The ghost knight’s head tilted to the side again.

“Do you truly think of me as your master?”

….

A moment of silence.

and.

Let’s go!

The corner of the ghost knight’s mouth, which had nothing but two snowballs, opened wide with a thin line drawn. It looked like a real mouth.

One end was greatly twisted.

It was a laugh.
