Chapter 205. How to prepare for ominous omens

(2)While I took a moment to look away, the number of lower spirits that Pena contracted with was unbelievably increased.

Since the affinity was high from the beginning, it seems that the cost went back to the number of low-level spirits.

Right now, 30 bodies were summoned lightly.

And if you set your mind to it, you can probably summon close to 100 of them.

“...At that level, you could call it a sort of spirit battalion.”

It's not the direction I intended, but I think this is probably her own growth direction, so I decided to watch it as it is for now.

I respect individuality.

‘It doesn't look like that's particularly bad...

In the first place, low-level spirits are inferior to other high-level spirits in the short term.

If there are that many, the premise is different.

quantity rather than quality.

Rather, depending on the operation, it might be more cumbersome to deal with such a large amount of low-level spirits.

The spirits followed Pena's instructions and moved in perfect order.

And, without batting an eye, Dia blocks all the fire and rock attacks from the spirits with magic.

As expected, it was the correct answer to point out her as the opponent for the real battle.

More so than the knight Ashana Seina.

There was also a judgment that it would be much better to learn to fight from the wizard Dia.

That's why I decided to attach Dia as Pena's combat instructor.

“...Still out of control.”

Dia responds by deploying a number of magics according to the large amount of spirits surrounding her.

“The gap in the display of spirits is so empty.”

When Dia pointed with her staff and created a wind with magic, about 10 Salamanders flew like a gale and one axis was pierced.

And at the same time, it summons water to sweep away the spirits of other axes as well.

This is a possible method for Diagi, which can deploy multiple magics at the same time.

In an instant, only Pena was left.

“Isn’t it?”

“Ugh.”

As soon as he pointed it out, the spirits were blown away in an instant, so Pena had nothing to say.

You are no match.

Looking at it like that, Pena's spirit magic might seem weak.

Not at all.

“....excuse me? Arel? Is your exclusive mage strong? Aren’t my spirits weak?”

Looking down at the spirits that were annihilated in one fell swoop, the princess asked me with a slightly hardened face.

“That’s it. Dia is inexhaustibly strong.”

I smiled and affirmed.

Not too long ago, Dia broke the wall and reached class 7.

Already, the amount of magic power, calculation speed, and skill and sense of deploying magic are never inferior to those of the elder level wizards of the Mage Tower.

“...Her Highness is also amazing.”

“Hey Dia.... Just putting it on and saying that would only be an insult.”

“Is that so?”

“Look at that. Speaking of Her Highness, who confidently attacked, but was swept away in one swoop and trembled.”

“...Arel I’ve never been like that before?”

Well, actually, Pena seems to put up with quite a bit of resentment.

You're pretending to be cool

Do you have enough to play around with?

I'm just joking about this, and I'll give you something to evaluate properly.

“Hmm, Dia’s skills have definitely improved, but her magic power is increasing, so you can see her habit of pushing through with force, right? care about that.”

“I have no face.”

“And Pena... what do you do?”

“Ugh????

“It’s a joke.”

I gave advice to the princess who was sincerely discouraged.

“In the first place, if Pena's current skills are enough, it's enough for beginning 6th class mages to struggle enough.” Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

Class 6 is not weak.

Even during the last war, how many wizards of that level had roamed the battlefield.

If you put it like that, it's still at a level that's ferocious enough for a mediocre princess.

In the first place, the fire that dozens of salamanders spew at the same time is almost equivalent to the power of 6th class flame magic.

However, since the level of staff here is high, it's just that she doesn't really stand out.

In fact, I heard that the imperial family of the Merman Empire are all arrogant in character?

Was he born in the wrong place?

Or...

‘Are there other factors?'

While I thought it was unexpected, Pena apologized to Dia once again.

“I am really sorry.”

“no. Now that I'm here... I don't think anything different about that, so there's no need for Pena-sama to apologize.”

Dia was speaking calmly, but she seemed to be surprised inside as well.

Well, she probably didn't know that the princess would suddenly appear here.

Rather than that, it would only make the atmosphere uncomfortable.

“Hey, indifferent princess. Don't bother our wizard too much. Are you panicking?”

“Isn’t it like that? Why would I have to do that?!”

Normally, it would be a moderately acceptable pena, but I am quite embarrassed by my playful words, as if my conscience was stabbed.

good. I guess I can play around with this for a while.

....By the way, Dia is also really good at selling things.

It's not unreasonable for Pena to be flustered.

It's not at all uncommon for a village to be wiped out due to a common plague...

but it's not common either.

....uh?

‘for a moment?'

For some reason, I felt bitter, so my movements as I was looking elsewhere froze.

Epidemic?'

I wrinkled my eyes as I recalled the conversation between the two of them earlier.

‘...Come to think of it, that's... a possibility.'

It wasn't until I heard Pena and Dia's conversation that I started thinking that far too.

I'm sorry Dia.

It was only after hearing the story of the epidemic that I felt sorry for myself.

There is one means.

Something capable of overwhelmingly destroying a country, ignoring the difference in national power.

‘Still, it's still a hypothesis.'

It is too early to conclude

We need more grounds for confidence.

As a result, I felt the need to search the records for a while to get some solid evidence.

To do so, I decided to teleport to the capital and visit one place.

It is the Ernesia Archives Library.

I had already contacted them urgently before I arrived, so perhaps because of that, the managing librarian rushed out to greet me from inside the library room.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness Arell. I wasn't ready to greet Her Highness.”

“are you okay. It was me who came to visit urgently.”

I reassured the restless librarian that I was fine and asked him to guide me before anything else.

There are two major libraries inside the castle.

One is a general large library that simply stores books and old books.

And another one has a library that does not keep books, but other things.

“His Highness Arell, there are no particularly common books here...

” “I know. I'm not here to read a book.”

“then??????

“There is something to look for.”

“no way??????

okay.

I nodded.

“From the records from the time of the founding of the Kingdom of Ernesia until now, all records should be kept without omission, right?”

“That's right!”

This is not a library for storing books.

Create all records of Ernesia Kingdom from the time of founding? kept.

In other words, it is a place where history is enshrined.

And here I decided to come because there was something I needed to investigate urgently.

Since it is still a personal investigation, I applied for access only with my authority.

“By the way, what is His Highness Arell looking for?”

The records of hundreds of years after the founding of the country are quite extensive.

If I don't know to some extent what I'm looking for, I'll probably spend months just going through all the records here.

“Records of War.”
