CH 111

After lunch, the knights will go to write down the number and types of demonic beasts killed on a map, and then they will go to the direction where the number of demonic beasts was recorded to be less frequent to explore more deeply.

They said that the survey was for the purpose of developing the areas with fewer outbreaks of magical beasts as city roads.

Cain was practicing magic with Gianluca.

Julian said that he brought Cain here to investigate the magic circle, but he also said that he wanted him to listen to Gianluca during the flower festival. This would be the opportunity to do so here.

This is a country where there are few magicians. In a country where few people are born with magical powers, Gianluca was born with magical powers. Cain thought that he was probably brought here as a consultant.

Here, he could use magic to his heart’s content and no one would see it.

After spending the night together and eating together, he realized that the knights who had been brought here seemed to be those who had sworn allegiance to Julian.

No one would say anything when Gianluca removed his fetters and used magic, and I guess they are the ones who wouldn’t bother to mention it back in the royal capital.

So, I didn’t have to be afraid to try different kinds of magic with Gianluca.

“Uh-uh. I can’t get any water. It would be useful if I could produce water like Cain, and I could be useful to my brother.”

“It’s all a matter of chemistry. Let’s try wind magic next. The theory of wind”

Julian was waiting at the entrance of the forest with Senshur to receive the knight’s report and write it on the map and in the documents.

Julian said, “My brother has been told by my father and the great people of the country that we should just move the capital to one of the old royal capitals. In fact, they are preparing to move the capital to one of the old capitals if the development here does not progress.”

Gianluca explained, perhaps because Cain had seen Julian communicating with the knights entering and leaving the forest.

“My brother said he didn’t want to move anywhere in the old royal capital because the benefits would be skewed toward some of the existing nobility. He said that the country is large and that the lands that are considered under the direct control of the state are in fact undeveloped. He said that the transition of the capital would open up new frontier lands and create new agriculture, industry, and distribution, thereby enriching the country.”

“His ideals are admirable.”

“In the Chronicles of the Founding of the Kingdom, it is written that the periodic relocation of the capital began with the goal of increasing the number of inhabitable places in this country, which was once nothing but forests and wastelands. My brother told me.”

They say that the capital city is prosperous, so let’s increase the number of prosperous areas by periodically moving the capital city. Even in my previous life, there was sometimes talk of relocating the capital because the population gap between Tokyo and the provinces was too great.

“If that was the original intention, then moving to the former royal capital would be a skeleton tradition.”

Cain nodded at Gianluca’s words. The population and the size of the city are completely different now than they were when the country was first established.

Cain thought that the population and the size of the city must have changed dramatically from when it was first built to now, and that it was no longer a place that could be moved to easily.

“I know it’s difficult, but I want to support my brother. I want to learn a lot of magic if I can be of help to my brother. Cain, I only have today and tomorrow morning, but I would be grateful if you could help me.”

“I’m still inexperienced, but I’m doing the best I can.”

While Cain and Gianluca continued to chat and practice magic, there was a lot of noise near the entrance to the forest where Julian was.

“Is something wrong?”

“Let’s go there, Master Gianluca.”

I went to the entrance of the forest, where the knights were on a deeper search because of the thin appearance of magical beasts, and when I went there quickly, I found that several knights had returned with wounds. While reporting various things to Senshur, Julian was wiping the knights’ wounds with water in a towel.

“Is something wrong, brother?”

“Gianluca, Cain. I heard that magical beasts came out in packs. Don’t go too close to the edge of the magic circle, or you’ll be in danger.”

“A pack of magical beasts?”

Cain and Gianluca took three steps back and looked toward the forest. The knights entered the forest and saw a flock of birds flying away from the far side of the forest. I did not hear anything like the roar of a magical beast, but I could hear the occasional crackling sound of a tree being toppled over.

“Weren’t you supposed to pick a spot where the appearance of the monsters was thin?”

“We were supposed to, but we’ve deepened our search, and apparently we’ve discovered a nest.”

“A nest.”

Was a magical beast the kind of creature that lives in a nest? Cain was impressed in a strange way. Of course, it is possible that nest is a figurative expression. There are many things we do not know about magical beasts.

“Are the knights safe?”

“I have told them not to pursue it too far. They said they returned the wounded first, so they should all be back soon.”

“Can’t we just have the flying dragon kick their asses?” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

“The flying dragon is a very gentle creature for a creature of that size. They only eat grass. If a flying dragon were to be hit by a magical beast, it would faint.”

“Oh, really? I didn’t expect that.”

I wonder how hard it is for herbivores to maintain that kind of body size. The fact that they can fly means that their bones may actually be scrawny and their muscles may be only around their wings. Cain was a little disappointed because he had expected the animal to be able to breathe fire.

Incidentally, after arriving at the planned site of the new royal capital, the flying dragon has been flying around the forest as it pleases. If it is a herbivore, it may be munching on leaves in the forest.

I hope he didn’t faint when he met the magical beast, Cain thought.

In the meantime, the last few of the knights returned with the magical beast in tow. They rushed into the magic circle with great vigor but were followed by a swarm of demonic beasts.

“Wow.”

“There are so many of them. Even though I heard they can’t come into the magic circle, it’s a little scary.”

“Hmm. This has never happened before.”

When a large number of magical beasts are so close to the magic circle, it is difficult to enter the forest from another direction to continue the investigation.

Even though it is safe to stay out of the magic circle, I don’t mind eating or sleeping in a tent with a large number of magical beasts staring at me.

“It’s a day early, but shall we call the flying dragon and go home, Your Highness?” 

“Hmmm.”

Senshur asks Julian about the return, but Julian just snorts. From what Cain had just heard from Gianluca, Julien had to make the most of the few opportunities he had, and it would be a shame for him to return earlier than he had planned.

Gianluca tugged at Cain’s robe as he watched the exchange between Julian and Senshur from a step back.

“What’s the matter, Gianluca?”

“Cain, can’t you do something? Is there any good magic you can do?”

“Cain pulled on Gianluca’s robe. Magic is not a universal power, Gianluca. If there was someone who could use holy magic, we might be able to get rid of them…”

Cain’s mind glanced back to the pink-haired girl laughing in the center of the game package. Cain shook his head with a buzz and put his arms around his body as if to unwind, “Okay,” he said, “I’m ready to go.”

Gianluca’s face as he looked up at me reminded me of Diana’s when she asks me for help with something she’s having trouble with. The angle of her eyebrows, which are down in a “C” shape, and her large, slightly upturned eyes, which look up at me, are the same.

“Master Julian. I don’t know how much we can do, but let’s kick out the demonic beasts.”

“Cain! Thank you very much.”

“Cain? What are you doing?”

He came back, weaving between the knights who were breathing on their shoulders or crouching down to take a break, and moved to the edge of the magic circle where Julian and Senshur were.

“Julian. The top of the magic circle is safe. Is that right?”

“Yeah, as far as I can tell from the records, no beast has ever been up here or come in… Not that I’m aware of the theory.”

“I understand. Please watch carefully, Gianluca. I will show you what happens to sorcerers who use too much magic.”

Cain reached out from between his robes and thrust his hand toward the pack of magical beasts, closing his eyes and meditating before uttering the spell. He kneaded the magic in his body to increase its density.

Cain loved games in his previous life, especially RPGs, action, and adventure games. And Cain liked the strategy of one-hit-kill after putting buffs on and on and on.

First, he would increase his defense so that he could withstand enemy attacks, then he would increase his attack power and hit rate. When the number of attacks reached the maximum, I would attack with the maximum power.

The feeling of victory when all the enemies have been wiped out is priceless.

The video footage of the victory was also very popular, with many people commenting on the video, “There it is! The famous endurance pattern of the live-action master!”

“Pheeeeeeeeew.”

Cain thought he was holding back his laughter, but he couldn’t hold it in.

In Limmut Break, he practiced learning magic but with reduced power. The training hall of the mage corps in the royal castle was said to have a training hall made of magic-absorbing walls, but there was no such a thing in an ordinary nobleman’s house, and if you used magic to the fullest, at least a hole would be made in the wall.

Cain once broke the gardener’s workshed and was scolded by Parepantol. The magic he used at that time was of the wind attribute, but if it had been of the fire attribute, the house would have caught fire.

Now here we are, deep in an empty deep forest.

In front of us is a pack of magical beasts that we can exterminate.

If anything goes wrong, there are only the first and second princes of the country and their subjects, the knights. They will be tight-lipped.

“Concentrate the flames and wind at my fingertips, and blow away all the enemies in front of me in a fiery explosion!”

A small flame and a whirlwind that enveloped the flame appeared at Cain’s fingertip, and with a sizzling sound, it clumped together like a small ball and flew into the crowd of magical beasts.

Julian and Gianluca, who had been squinting to see what had happened, were next struck by a powerful blast that made it impossible for them to keep their eyes open.

A violent explosion sounded in the middle of the herd of magical beasts, and the beasts were blown away, trees were knocked down, and a strong wind blew over Julian and the knights who were inside the magic circle.

Senshur quickly took Julian and Gianluca into his arms to protect them, and they were caught in the blast on their backs.

While protecting the two princes in his arms, he turned his gaze to the side to grasp the situation and to the center of the blast, when he saw Cain being blown away right in front of him.

“Eeeeee.”

Senshur’s eyes widened and his mouth fell open as he followed Cain’s figure with his eyes.

He was laughing happily as he rolled about in the explosion aftermath caused by his own magic
