Ascendance of a Bookworm

Royalty and the Library, Part II.

Hildebrandt is not the only one who has kept an eye on Weiss' words and solidified them. "I'm royal, but I can't get in because I don't have enough magic," said Hildebrandt, who was clearly told by Weiss, looking at each other in confusion about what to say to the neighbors on the spot

No longer depressed by the ban on taking out materials, I turn to Hildebrandt.

"Prince Hildebrandt, there should have been a statement that this library is a place for adult royalty to visit. Prince Hildebrandt, not yet admitted to the House of Lords, can't help but lack magic. I haven't learned to compress magic, I haven't gotten a stamp, I haven't given the gods any protection."

"Rosemaine......"

"Prince Hildebrandt's growing season is still ahead of him, so wait for everyone with me until he grows up. Right?"

With that said, I show with my hands a number of chairs. Hildebrandt looked up and looked around.

"... Rosemaine wait here?

asked as Hildebrandt looked at the chairs and tables in front of the transparent walls. The library looks good here. It would be a place for the proximities to prepare various things for the Lord, who waits and reads the material inside, making sure there is no danger.

"I know I want to go in there too, but I'm forbidden to go in inadvertently. We're going to wait and see if we can find any really useful materials while we have tea here."

"Okay, I'll wait with you"

Hildebrandt smiles and heads to the chair. I pulled out my shoulder strength like Artur was horrified.

"You said Dr. Solange had helped support tea, didn't you? Brunhilde, ask me how."

"Yes, sir."

Brunhilde turns himself over and heads to the stairs. At the same time he thought about what the proximates should be prepared for, and began to move for each Lord.

"I also want to prepare tea for the Lord. May I have your permission?

"Please, Artur"

"Rezelator and I went back to the dorm once, but you can't carry everything this far by yourself."

Brunhilde laughs like he's in trouble with some of his tea pro forma. "If you even went to the dorm, you'd be resting a little," Richarda said, picking up the rest of her stuff upstairs.

"If you brew some tea, Brunhilde should sit over there and rest."

"No. You can't take your eyes off Master Rosemayne. Because I don't know when I'm going to break into the library."

Leonore also agreed with Brunhilde, who said that with a laugh with Couscous. Looking at the library, I'm softening. Apparently, I don't have much credibility.

But there's a library lined with materials and books I've never read right there. You can't open it unless you have all three keys, so if you don't know when you can open it this time, I'm sure everyone will agree that it's hard for you to be patient.

"How can I increase my magic?

"I will learn in the House of Lords, so now is not the time to be impotent. If you can find the right way for you, it will stretch a lot. I'm sure the royalty has an effective way of increasing that the kings of history have studied?

Apparently, the way magic is compressed can be a secret of a clan, or something personal. I'm sure royalty has a way of increasing royalty. I didn't say anything specific to Hildebrandt who seemed to start compressing even as soon as I said something extra, and I watched as the Hannelores read the material in vague reply.

I guess I'm going to take a rough look at what's written. The three of them split up and put out materials like white boards here and there. They look through them and put them back where they came from. Hannelore shook her head and the two princes made a difficult face. And then Anastasius opened the big book that was being erected, and I saw him calling Gigisvalt.

... Nice. I want to cross over there, too.

Watching how the library was doing while eating the treat Richarda brought me in the first place, Hannelore and the two princes who were discussing something came out.

"Um, Master Rosemaine, please come in, too. There are too many old materials to discern the content. You can read Dunkelferger's history books, so you're also familiar with the old letters, right?

"Rosemaine, it's very painful to let you break your promise to your parents, can you help me?

Two people, Hannelore and Gigisvalt, asked me to shake their minds. I want in. I want to read a book. But I don't want to be mad at you.

"Uh, but... wow, I..."

I looked back to Richarda and Leonore for permission. We both had a very troubled face, and still, I lay my eyes down lightly like I said, "No." Hildebrandt also looks like he complains "I don't want you to go".

The voice of Anastasius sounded there.

"Rosemaine, come"

"Anastasius, do not make such an order tone. She's a bona fide collaborator."

"No, brother," said Anastasius, stung by Gigisvalt, shaking his head.

"If Rosemaine, who is ordered by the guardians of Aerenfest, does not have a greater nickname: the order of the superior royalty, then please alone cannot move.... help me read the material here, Rosemaine. This is an order from the royalty."

... It's an order from the royal family, isn't it? This is something you shouldn't say no to! Hey, hey, hey!

"Richarda, Brunhilde, Leonore. If it's a royal order, we can't help it, can we?

And as I looked back on the sides, all three sighed.

"Princess, you don't have a choice."

"I can't help but..."

"Dear Rosemaine, don't get too excited."

If they say royal orders, there is no turning against them. I rise from my chair with a smile.

"Well, you're going"

As soon as I entered beyond the wall of transparency in a groaning mood, Schwartz moved his face slightly and looked up at me.

"Rosemaine, I'm not going anywhere."

"Huh? What is it?

Suddenly I was not sure what I had been told, and I leaned my neck. Hannelore, who came in from behind me, said, "Has Master Rosemayne said anything to Schwartz, too?," he asked.

"Yep. They said something about not praying enough..."

"I don't know, but I was told at the same time that I was going in here. Not enough attributes. Not enough prayer," he said.

Hannelore said, "What is it?" and lean his neck. They said the same thing about the two princes. Anastasius shrugged his shoulder when he wondered what the hell that meant.

"If even Rosemaine, who is the temple chief, doesn't have enough prayers, there's nothing she can do. It's no use thinking."

"So is that. Now let's get the book..."

Stop thinking and now I want to read a book. When I tried to reach for the book standing on the top plate, Anastasius stopped me and took me to a bookshelf filled with white plates.

"Your book is written in relatively new language, so we can read it. Here's a better read."

"I said Hannelore could read it if it was Rosemaine, is it really going to read it?

Anastasius handed me one white plate that was sloppily lined up on the bookshelf. Old words are carved into white plates similar to buildings. This would not decay as long as it had the magic to support the House of Lords and the library.

... stone slabs? It's good for saving. Though it's a bit heavy and I can write a small amount on one sheet.

I will read the inscribed letters as I follow them with my fingers.

"This is a pretty old ritual way, isn't it?... Phew. Is that part of the Bible going to be such a ritual?"

It is a ritual that comes from the story of the families of the Rydenshaft fighting and burning too much, and the goddess of the sea Fairfulemaire cooling the heads of their families when it is a scorching summer. If Haldenzel's ritual is a ritual that calls for spring, this seems to be a ritual that suppresses too hot summers.

The scriptures only contain stories, songs and pictures, but this tablet details how the ritual is performed. If there's a board that says how Haldenzel's ritual is performed, it looks like it can be reproduced for sure.

"It's very interesting to me, and I'd like to keep looking into the relationship between scripture and rituals, but it doesn't help the royalty today, does it? I'll take a look in order, Schwartz, bring it in order from the edge."

"Okay."

I look through the board that Schwartz brings me.

In the meantime, Gigisvalt and Anastasius read objects in book condition with relatively new information, and Hannelore was slowly reading white boards.

After reading some ritual ways, there was the first time that anything other than rituals had been written on the board that Schwartz had brought to me.

"Prince Gigisvalt, Prince Anastasius. Isn't this a royal reference? It's a retrospective of a long time old king. It describes the method of magic compression and the protection obtained. The description of your patronage around here might also be useful in working with Dunkelferger."

It is a retrospective or how-to dossier, a material that speaks of my struggles in the sense that "thus have I become king".

However, I have to carve it into a board that's not that big, so it feels like it's been omitted when it comes to common perception at the time, and I can't grasp a bit of meaning from reading it.

"... I'm just not sure. The part here can be read as having prayed to all the gods while turning again and again, but where and how? No way. Do you pray while you dance with your devotion? Is there somewhere around the center?

Anastasius also turned into a troubled face to me as I thought of praying around.

"There will be no one in the House of Lords who knows more about prayer than the head of the temple. Is there anything inside the temple? Something like praying around..."

"Doesn't it mean turning prayers to the various gods instead of spinning?

The spinning image disappears and is horrified by the words of the sober Gigisvalt. The old man got seriously worried about what he was doing, but it would be normal if he just offered prayers to the various gods.

... but praying is basically about having your room bring your god's things or go to the prayer room or something, right? I don't even have the image in the temple of going around praying to all kinds of gods.

"... ah! Speaking of which, I've heard of God sculpted and lurking all over the temple from the side service of the temple. If every temple is the same, the old man may have gone around praying to the gods here and there in the temple."

"Maybe that's it"

When I remembered what Monica had told me, Anastasius turned out to be a difficult face, and Humm, Gigisvalt began to conceive.

"This King's recap seems important, so if you can, I'd like you to translate and write it in modern language, please? If you keep writing it down, even the civilians may be able to translate it, but there are many things you may not know unless you are familiar with the temple and prayer, Rosemaine."

"Okay. Then I will come outside once to receive paper and ink from Filine. My clerk couldn't get down there."

When I said so, Hannelore raised her voice, "I will go".

"It would be quicker for Master Rosemaine, who can read the old letters, to check the material here. I'm going to talk to Rosemayne."

"Oh, you can't ask Master Hannelore to do that!

There's no way I can let a lord candidate in the upper realm do something like run for use. Gigisvalt smiled and said, "Please, Hannelore," when he said I sifted and shook my head and resigned.

"If I tell you to serve Rosemaine, you should take a short break. Hannelore has worked so hard from the start."

... right. I have a break.

I forgot the time to immerse myself in reading books and materials, and completely forgot that, unlike me, who no longer needs a meal or a break, others need a break.

Dropping Hannelore out of the library, I drop my gaze again on the white board.

"Rosemaine, I heard you do research about more protection for the gods in prayer, but do you really pray for more?

"Though some elements seem necessary, such as serious prayer, frequency and frequency, and devotion of magic, we are supposed to ask Dunkelferger and the knight apprentices, many of whom have the protection of Rydenshaft and Angleaf, to help us find out how much it is"

But prayer will definitely increase your protection, I answered Gigisvalt. Gigisvalt exhales softly as he looks down at the king's recap.

"I got protection from the great god of aptitude, but to the extent that it was a little easier to use magic, I didn't feel any particular change. When you get protection from your family, does it change anything? I wonder if prayer should take precedence over royal duties today."

It would mean that you have to put more and more magic into supporting Jürgenschmidt, but you can't afford to read the material at length in the library.

"Prince Gigisvalt, I think you'd better choose a safe and steady way to go, as it's eventually faster to go down a safe path, even if it looks far away, than a dangerous shortcut when you hurry"

"What do you mean?

to Gigisvalt leaning down my neck. I smiled nicely.

"This is how it may seem to Prince Gigisvalt to read the material and gain your protection by means of magic compression methods and prayers from afar. But it's easier to increase your magic and gain protection. When you get protection from many of your family members, the efficiency of magic can change the amount of power consumed."

"Such a change?

Deep green eyes are watched by surprise.

"I think there's a personal difference because it's a physical feeling. But with all of the twelve gods protecting him, Brother Wilfried said that he was now able to combine with about 70% of his magic."

"About 70% …. How much prayer does that get you?

If you look at the strength of your cannibalizing gaze, you can see exactly how stuffed the royal family is and how much magic they need.

"... I hear you've gained more protection than that vilfried. What about him?

And when Anastasius saw me, I drew my lips together. Can I say it? Should I keep my mouth shut? However, I think royalty should know more about the effects of prayer.

"Will it be presented as an achievement of prayer in the Temple? Even if I say it here, it's gonna change a lot."

"It's too different from the others, so we plan to be modest when presenting our research. But I want the royalty to know the importance of prayer, so I'll be honest with you. Even Aerenfest doesn't report the exact number. Don't talk to anyone else."

"Okay."

"... let's promise"

I slowly opened my mouth when I saw Anastasius and Gigisvalt nodding.

"In all, I have been blessed with forty and three gods, and I have consumed about forty percent of my magic. It ends with less than half the magic, whether it's a blend or a magic supply, so it's the current situation where you're struggling to adjust your senses."

"What!?

"Less than half!? How the hell are you praying?

"Never speak out of your mouth," he said, as they are both so surprised and loud, that I write my prayer words on my book board.

"At Aerenfest, we do this while praying to the gods when we supply magic to the underlying magic. So Aub Aerenfest also granted protection from several of his family members. Just say your prayers when you magically supply them, so don't you think it's an easy prayer even for busy royalty?

"Is that all you need?

Anastasius looked at me in suspicion.

"Of course, if you want a lot of protection, I think you should actively go to the temple and do the divine work. But there won't be room for that in the royal family, and suddenly I think taking up divinity will make clashes with the central temple a big deal, so you should start where you can easily. In time, we will be able to pray to nature and to the gods so much that blessings will pop up on our own"

What matters is getting used to it. And when you get used to it, you get used to it, you get looked at with strange eyes, and sometimes you get angry. I am experienced.

"I haven't exactly studied it, but I think it's going to be a lot easier in a few years, because even when you grow up, your protection is going to increase, so I think it's going to be a lot easier to supply magic with constant prayers"

"Even after you've grown up, you say? How much information is Aerenfest hiding?

"I'm not trying to hide anything from you. I thought it was normal to pray when supplying basic sorcery until you compare it elsewhere."

And most of what you're hiding is information via Ferdinand. It is Ferdinand, not Aerenfest, who is hiding it. But I won't say that extra.

"Paper and ink arrived"

"I'm afraid, Master Hannelore"

Hannelore came to me from Filine to keep the paper and ink. I receive it and begin to write as I translate the king's recap.

"Then we'll take a break next. Hannelore, I'm sorry, but I want you to copy the contents of this board."

"Yes, Prince Gigisvalt."

Dropping off the two princes walking out of the library, I exhaled ho. Hannelore exhales as she was stuck, laughing small.

"I had no idea Prince Anastasius was calling and all three Princes were in the library, Master Rosemaine"

"Yep. I was really surprised to see Prince Gigisvalt."

... It wasn't the library that surprised me, it was the Prince's outhouse, though.

"I was just going to unlock it, but I didn't think I was going to even make a copy like this. I'm not very good at ancient language, so I'm comfortable with Rosemayne."

"The royal family doesn't seem to speak much of the ancient language as a practical priority either, so I think Master Hannelore would be amazing to read just a little bit."

With so little chatter, I will make a modern translation.

"... alas, is this the ritual of the king's inheritance?

That's what Hannelore said as he peered into the board at his disposal. It is a ritual that we will never perform in the temple of Aerenfest. Caught my interest and I peek into the white board.

"I'm pretty sure it says here that the new king will show his gluthrithheit..."

"Right. I think it's a ritual of inheritance."

...... I wonder how the King now, who does not have the Gluthrithheit, performed the ritual of inheritance.

With such doubt I will read the white board. Hannelore asks Schwartz to bring a new board when he offers me a white board, "if you want to see it," as information that does not require ritual procedures.

I read the white board that was given to Hannelore.

In the ritual of the king's inheritance, the temple chief apparently performs wearing the crown, which is the divine instrument of the goddess of light. Is it because she is a goddess who presides over covenants and promises?

... Is this a spell?

White boards with ritual methods are written with spell-like words that change the starp. I wrote that spell-like word on my book board.

... Mr. Ferdinand was definitely stuffed here.

Written about another ritual, the board contains spells that create the cloak of the Dark God, and spells that create the Holy Grail of the goddess of earth. I was wondering why only Ferdinand had so much strange knowledge, but it must be because of what I learned in this library.

... I'll read a lot of them too!

Thus, by reading the boards written about the various rituals, I learned of the spells to make all the divine artifacts in Starp.

It was a really fulfilling time, although the two princes pissed me off because I was obsessed with reading and couldn't move on with a copy other than the King's Recap.
