Episode 422 So (5)
“I think it’s okay for you two to be together.”
“I’ll do it together. “Because it seems like enough.”
“I’m going out!”
And the answer that came out was as expected... huh? uh??
“What is it, Hawkeye?”
“Um sorry Crusher. “I want to go with you, but...”
Hawkeye tapped his empty quiver.
“I realized this while sparring, and regardless of your skill level or mine, when I run out of arrows, my power drops drastically. “If it is difficult to supply supplies, I wonder if it would be a waste to keep up.”
“That’s...”
“There’s a limit to how arrows can be recycled, and the high-power arrows I use when I’m really in a hurry are disposable...”
Hawkeye said, saying that even though he was assured that he could go, he decided to stay. I laughed. It was a very understandable reason.
“Hmm. There is definitely such a problem. It is possible to bring arrows to subspace items, but I don’t know if that will be enough or not...” “
And I have good eyes. I’ve even been able to snipe at ranges of up to 1km. “It would be more efficient to support from the back.”
“Oh...”
Wait a minute. Sniping with a 1km runway? Are you crazy? I knew that the world’s longest range sniping record was about 3.5km, but that’s a gun and this is a bow. What kind of monster can you snipe at 1km with a bow?
With a face as bright as a sunflower, I thought that the commandment’s technique had not been broken for no reason by Hawkeye’s words. Keimyung also looked at Hawkeye with strange eyes, as if he had come to a similar realization.
“Is that tension coming out?”
On the other hand, in the case of Deathbringer, who knew how to use a bow, he couldn’t even scream and just asked his parents. It must have been quite a shock to be sniped at 1km away.
“sure. “It is possible to strengthen your body with magical power and receive a buff from a wizard or priest!”
“No, no matter what, it’s still 1km.”
I think the maximum range I know of for a bow was 200m. Wasn’t it 400m? Either way, it’s definitely crazy.
I took a quick peek at Hawkeye’s upper body and arms covered by his clothes. His shoulders looked unusually wide and his arms felt thick, perhaps because he had heard that he could fly 1km.
“...Are you really not going?”
“huh. “Oh, did you change your mind because of me?”
“no. “Why would I change it?”
Crusher shrugged and looked back at us.
“It’s just a moment, but please be kind. “He is a mercenary who dedicates himself to hunting down Crusher demons.”
“Welcome to join! “I am an Inquisitor.”
“It is a commandment.”
“It’s Berserk.”
“You can call me Adventurer Job.”
Anyway, with this, it has been confirmed who will join and who will not join. We lightly shook hands and said hello to confirm who we would be joining.
Five people. Since ancient times, the national rule for a party was 6 or 8 people, which was an ambiguous and disappointing number. Well, it may increase later.
“But when does it leave?”
“It hasn’t been decided yet. “The magic tower lord from another city is coming, so he’ll probably be leaving around the time they arrive here.”
“okay? “The deadline is longer than I thought.”
“It won’t be that much. One magic tower lord has already approached the vicinity, and the Watcher of Commandments will likely arrive within a few weeks. “I will be there within two months at the latest, or within a month at the earliest.”
Oh really? You’re already here?
I sweated profusely as I remembered the booklet I had put in my inventory yesterday and never taken out. The booklet had at most a hundred pages, and each page was packed with things to memorize. Even the commandments said that only if you memorize them all would it be easy to attack Oman, or even possible.
But can I memorize it all in one month?
“...If I have nothing more to do, can I go back to my room?”
“adventurer?”
“There are things we need to prepare before the final battle.”
I secretly showed him the brochure. Since the commandments were handed down and explained again in front of everyone, there would be no one but Hawkeye or Crusher who would question them.
“Oh, okay.”
“Fighting adventurer!”
“Have you memorized it yet?”
“Let me tell you that you are a special case and that ordinary people are not like that.”
No, how can I memorize dozens of curly magic circles in one day? It’s even confusing because they all look so similar!
“...I’ll go in first.”
done. I hurried into the magic tower, lamenting my situation as I was forced to memorize it because I had a lot of magic power and excellent control.
Oh, I hate studying.
* * *
“Oh, he’s gone.”
“Do you have more business to do with Adventurer Nari the Windhand?”
“Magic circle.”
Still, it doesn’t mean I can’t give you an answer.
“Magic circle?”
“What kind of magic circle is it?”
“I don’t know either. They say it is a magic circle that is used to reverse and destroy the positions built by Oman...”
“Yes?”
Well, I’m not skilled in magic, so all I can do is shut up and memorize it, but I guess they’ll know it if they see it. Instead of pestering them with language questions, I chose to just give them a booklet. I was even willing to eavesdrop on their interpretation.
As soon as the two received the booklet, they put their noses together and pressed the tops of their heads together.
“...It’s an incredibly elaborate magic circle.”
“How many magics are stacked? “You’re crazy.”
“Do you see this here? This is the most common magic formula. “It’s hard to believe that this can lead to distortions of this scale.”
“...If you’ve seen everything, won’t you give it back to me?”
“It’s in the back too. What is this?”
“It’s a formula that interferes with gravity and space. But it’s backwards...”
“You said it was backwards. So I turned it around.”
But you bastards, what should I do if you start tearing up the book!
“...Would it be better for me to fall out?”
“Oh, don’t worry about this, just rest in bed.”
“No, I don’t mind going to the temple.”
“Don’t force yourself to go.”
I gave Daniel, who was just coming in, a look that said it was okay, then grabbed Timanuk and Meister by the shoulders and pushed them. As slender wizards, they couldn’t resist and walked away from the table.
“Ahh!”
“Huh.”
“And two people. “Exploration is good, but I hope you don’t forget that this is my task.”
“Oh, I’m surprised. In words.”
“Would you have listened if I said it in words?”
Probably not. After conveying the meaning with my eyes, I held up the booklet. From the first chapter, the magic circle was just drawn without any explanation, which made me want to cry.
“I’ll copy it on another piece of paper and hand it over to you. “Just do your research.”
Aside from that, the best way to memorize shapes is by drawing them. After calming down the two wizards’ complaints, I sat down at the table. As if the time it took to copy was a waste, the two wizards sat down next to me. My head kept turning this way.
“It looks like it’s trying to eat the paper. “Maybe it was a kid goat?”
“You bastard, are you treating me more and more harshly?”
“If the words that come in are good, shouldn’t the words that go out also be good?”
Hey, get your face away from me! You won’t be able to move the pen!
“...You shouldn’t draw them in that order.”
“...?”
In the meantime, Timanuk looked at my copying hands and took out a new paper and pen from his pocket.
“This magic circle is here... “Magic power starts from the very center, goes outward, and then comes back inward.”
“Does the drawing order matter?”
“Magic is the realization of a certain phenomenon using magical power. Changing the order of addition does not change the result, but wouldn’t it be possible to calculate it faster by doing 1+9+2+8+3+7... rather than listing 1 to 9 in order?”
Uh... that’s a pretty cool analogy. Certainly, if you do the latter, the calculations will be much faster since you can group them in groups of 2 to get 10. The former won’t be terribly slow... but if you’re someone who doesn’t do calculations often, the latter will be a bit faster.
“In short, the flow of magical power becomes smoother. “The smooth flow of magic means that it can be activated quickly.”
However, now you have to not only memorize the magic circle, but also the order of drawing it. That’s a total of over 100 species within a month. Although I lamented my situation, I could not resist the temptation of reducing skill cooldowns.
“I see... It’s quite interesting. okay. “Then can you show me the order?”
How do I overcome the reduction in the plague activation time?
“Of course. “I’m not the creator of this magic circle, so I’m not sure if it’s a perfect reproduction, but...”
“Ah, then would it be better to bring in the creator?”
“Wouldn’t it be better if there was an author?”
“Hey, burns. “Bring the blue hair.”
“...I left with the intention of taking care of all the errands, but Master Daemyeong’s shamelessness is becoming more and more surprising every day.”
“sorry.”
“You have nothing to be sorry about.”
“Do you see that bastard discriminating?”
“I’ll bring you something to drink on the way. “What do you like?”
“I have tea leaves, so just warm water, please.”
Fortunately, there were many people around me who helped me study. I buried my nose in the booklet, paying no attention to Daniel, who ran errands for me, and the grumbling Meister.
I felt like I was back in high school right before the college entrance exam.
