Ascendance of a Bookworm

Lanzenave's Ship Part II

After some questions, Ferdinand immediately assembled the knights of the ninth and tenth squads and said they would freeze the ship to stop that attack.

"Freeze the ship!? How the hell can Schneiasto, the god of ice and snow, wield his power in a warm climate filled with the power of Fruitraine!?

"Carry out a ritual calling for winter only on the part of this ship"

"What?"

... I get it. I know, that feeling. What are you talking about? You think so, don't you? Insanity is absolutely Master Ferdinand, isn't it?

Without a glance at Heishitze and the knights, who are in the face of incomprehension, Ferdinand gives instructions to my escort knights to wave the sword of Averibe. Brother Cornelius, Matthias, Leonore and Angelica looked at each other blinking.

"It is impossible to do it with all the escort knights, Master Ferdinand. Using that, they take the magic to its roots. Lady Rosemaine's escort knights cannot be reduced by much."

"Besides, after using Averibe's sword, it seems that the horseman will disappear if there is no one to retrieve it. You'll be upside down in the ocean."

It's the same with my escort knights who made the face that they don't know why in Operation Insanity, but Brother Cornelius and Leonore begin to respond immediately.

"I don't know how much I can freeze with one's magic. It is better for as many as possible to wave the sword of Averibe, and it is desirable for those with a lot of magic. But we also need Rosemaine's escort knights."

Mathias, hearing Ferdinand's words, turned his gaze toward the land.

"Laurenz can also use the sword of Avery Be. How about letting someone else manage the magic tricks and bring Laurenz into this battle?

Ferdinand turns his gaze toward the land in the same way that "Hmm" and Mathias do to the reaction that sounds if hit. But the gaze is not the gatepost of the outer wall. It was directed further back to the castle.

"... Rosemaine, if the escort knights served in the temple to gain the sword of Averibe, can you also use Haltmut?

"Of course you can use it. Because I was arguing with Brother Cornelius about which would be available sooner.... No way, Master Ferdinand"

Do you also use Haltmoot!? And if he raised his voice, Ferdinand sounded his hun and nose gently.

"You're a civilian who can use Avery Be's sword, right? Wouldn't it be convenient not to reduce the number of escort knights? If you call, Hartmoot will be here in no time?

Ferdinand gave me the demon stone of Ordonanz and told me to call Hartmoot. I ask Haltmut, as Ferdinand told me.

"Haltmoot, I'm going to do a massive divine deed to use the sword of Avery Be. We need the help of Haltmut, who was the chief cleric. Come as soon as you can with the demon stone armor."

Ferdinand took my left hand if I had breathed my voice into the Ordnants who had made me stop in my left hand.

"Ask Clarissa to manage her magic equipment and restorative medicine with a gatepost on the outer wall. I don't mind taking the nobles out to the gate to show the Arlensbach nobles what their original divinity is. Hurry up."

"Yes, Master Rosemaine. as soon as possible."

"Let's go, gentlemen. You burn the real goddess and the bewildered Rosemaine into its eyes!

The two voices returned are alive. Clarissa cannot make divine objects because I did not allow her to enter or leave the temple. I had no choice, but I thought Clarissa herself would regret it, so I think it's a good thing Clarissa was given a role as well.

... if it wasn't part of the brainwashing of the nobles!

Behind me, feeling a little drawn to the high tension between Haltmoot and Clarissa, was asking Ferdinand to fly the Ordnants to Laurenz, who is in the recovery unit, to wave the sword of Avelibe.

"Laurenz, I'm going to ask the escort knight of Rosemaine to wave the sword of Avery Be from now on. Pick four apprentice knights who will recover those who lose their magic powers, and give them healing pills, and bring them here. We're sending Clarissa there to manage the magic equipment."

"... In order to wave the sword of Avery Be, should we do the sorting of recovery drugs and retrievers as soon as possible and rendezvous after the handover with Clarissa?

To Laurenz's reply, which seemed to enclose all the doubts, I said in my heart, "Come on, Laurenz! I just have to support you."

"Think about who Cornelius, the others, will be left as Rosemaine's escort knight. There's only two of us left."

"Ha!"

As my escort knights begin their discussions, Heishitze, who is still unconvinced, turns his gaze here and there. My escort knights began to move quickly, but the knights of Dunkelferger are all in poker.

"How can Aerenfest people be so calm!? You said Master Ferdinand would call for winter to freeze the ship!?

Heishitze inquired about Angelica, who was only a short distance away from one person to tour the stories of the escort knights. Suddenly questioned, Angelica blinks her eyes as surprised, then puts her hands on her cheeks and smiles.

"When you are asked to do something difficult, it is more important than understanding how to do your assigned role. This time it was wanted either to wave the sword of Avery Be or to escort him. It's not my job to call for winter."

"I see. Is that how you get to be cool..."

... I don't think about the hard stuff from the start, and it means I can only do what I can, but it sounds like Angelica is saying something that sounds so smart.

I'm impressed Heishitze said, "Dear Ferdinand, give us a role too! Flushing lightly to say," How long will it take for Ferdinand to rescue those who have fallen into the sea, "Ferdinand told a knight who is rescuing or collecting magic equipment from a heavily damaged earlier ship." and fly the Ordnants.

"Dear Ferdinand, it's Strahl. The rescue of the escorted lady has been completed. I am now collecting demon stones and magic equipment.... because I would like to collect a little more of the stones of the deceased."

"Right. I think the temperature of the ocean will drop sharply in the aftermath as we call for winter to freeze this ship. Be careful."

"... what?

Returning from Strahl was a questionable reply with a raised tail, but Ferdinand seems to have decided to take it as understanding, and I will not send any further explanations. Strahl got a little pathetic.

"Dear Ferdinand, who is Strahl?

"A former Knight Commander of Arlensbach who was dismissed by Dietrinde and is now my escort knight"

Ferdinand also flies Ordnants, "I want inside information on the ship, so come alone," on a ship that the knights of Dunkelferger infiltrated and controlled inside. Fly the Ordnants back with a reply of Roger. Now fly to Hannelore's unit to ask what's going on. Ordonanz is very busy.

Hannelore and the others seem to have almost completed control of the ship. They're taking the hostage ladies out of the ship and starting to hear about the damage.

"Rosemaine, hands on the horseman with your hands straight outstretched, be in a forward leaning position with your body knocked down a little bit forward"

"Suddenly what is it?

With a question mark in my head, I took a forward leaning position with my arms straight as I was told and my hands on the horseman. Ferdinand put something somewhat like a board on my back, saying, "Hold that posture for a little while". Was it something that deformed the demon stone? A little heavy.

"This attitude is very difficult, but what is Master Ferdinand going to do?

"Patience till you finish painting the magic formation."

... ooh! I am replaced by a desk!?

Instead of my back at my desk, Ferdinand began drawing magic formations in Stilo on the demonic paper I had given him.

"Dear Ferdinand, my arms have plumped"

"It's too soon for whatever it takes. Bear with me a little longer."

To distract myself from the trembling arms, I freeze the ship because of it, so I ask if I can also apply an impact immediately after I freeze it.

"While the metallic appearance of magic made by nobles differs in their resistance to attack depending on the magic content, the normal metals handled by civilians have properties that can become brittle when left in very cold environments such as freezing. If Lanzenave's ship is a metal that doesn't contain magic, I suppose it would be more effective than normal to strike right after calling in the winter to shake the sword of Averibe and freeze it, but what do you think?

"Ho? It's easy to shock Dunkelferger if you let him attack you, but what kind of attack do you think would be best?

Ferdinand asks without stopping his hand at drawing the magic formation.

"Uh, metal can also be shrinking in nature when temperatures drop rapidly. If I could poke a slight gap with a sword or a spear, I wondered if I could strip the black and silver objects covering that surface."

If I could peel some, it wouldn't be hard to peel around the same way.

"If we even block that attack mouth, we can get down to the upper deck and work it out with force moves. There are a lot of knights with a reputation for skill. But I think it's a good idea to shock them because they freeze them. It's important to strip off that silver and put Aub's protection on it. The rescue of the hostages will be irrelevant with magic equipment and the input of the knights of Dunkelferger, as long as the holes can be drilled enough for one person to pass"

There are plenty of magic tools that could be used, such as the only thing that sounds like an explosion, the flash shell I just used, and the special Haltmoot tear bomb. Magic control is also easier if Aub's guardianship is applied.

Having finished painting the magic formation, I was able to confirm that Ferdinand had a room to prevent the magical attack of the hostages after hearing from the knights who had taken control of the ship and the Hannelore troops.

"Heishitze, when the ship is frozen, let the spears descend by a handful of people looking for a place where there are no hostages. I'll take care of the candidates."

"Leave it to me!

Haltmut, Laurenz and the retrieval unit joined. Flying Ordonanz to various locations to obtain information and give instructions seems to have drawn the attention of Arlensbach's nobles. I can see a number of noble riders around the outer wall, and I can see the civilians looking at this one with their windows wide open.

Above a ship so unreachable that I looked around at my own escort knights aboard the apprentice knights. There are four men who wave the sword of Averibe: Brother Cornelius, Matthias, Laurenz and Haltmut.

"Rosemaine, get started"

Ferdinand said that just as the sun began to rise. From the narrow space between the sea and the sky the sun appeared, and at once the sky was brightened. A dazzling path of light can be created in the sea, emitting light as the sea level ripples.

I began to bewitch the magic formations depicted on the devil's paper with demonic stones to be handed to Ferdinand. I can see that three, four and one after another the magic power of the Demon Stone is sucked by the Magic Formation. The magic formation started when I placed the fifth demon stone, worried that the demon stone I had would suffice.

The Devil's Paper floats and raises a red flame and the Magic Formation flies over it. The magic formation floating over the ship stained red, and now a precious pillar of red stood upright against the ship. It's a pillar of light enough for the whole ship to enter.

The next moment when a surprising voice rises from the knights around him, "Ooh..." its red magic formation turns to white. The white light, which dyed all the magic formations to cover the red, began to repaint the columns of red light from above to the ship.

"Winter is here. Do it."

"Ha!"

Ferdinand entered the pillar of light with a horseman. Only there. Obviously the temperature is different and cold.

The proximities wearing full body armor didn't feel so much difference in temperature, they put out the sword of Avery Be with an indescribable face.

The white corpse has already glowed and cooled off in the state where it was served. With magic there, the cooling air that was loose gradually darkens and turns into ice and snow.

"AVILLIBE, the God of life who commands regeneration and death, the twelve gods of kinship who serve his side."

The four chants began to blow a wind mixed with ice and snow. Unexpectedly rubbing his arms, Ferdinand takes off his cape and wraps me around. The icy, snow-mixed wind that was hitting me was prevented and I exhaled a howling relief.

"Thank you, I know."

"No, it's my fault I forgot about your cold protection. If there was a side service, I would have definitely prepared the cold gear. Should we have brought Justkus too..."

Listening to Ferdinand's reflections, I look down at the glowing cloak. Reflection is good, but is this good? Even from a distance, I think the cloak that the magic formations glowed from when I put it together is absolutely remarkable.

... are you okay because the sun is starting to shine? Can't you see from afar? What do you think?

I'm not willing to let go because it's cold, but I'm a little concerned about my surrounding gaze when I find it very noticeable.

"Dedicated to you is indomitable thoughts, praised for your supreme thoughts, bestowed blessings on you, and given you strength and strength not to give your enemies."

The chant ends while I contemplate. Four men waved down their swords towards the ship. The relatives of the Lord of winter, made of snow and ice, take shape and run down to jump on the ship. I wonder if there are about seventy of them, although they are too numerous to count.

The moment the relatives pop up, the knight apprentices rush to support the four people who are out of guts and power. He jumped out of a column of white light to give him a healing pill as it was.

I strengthen my eyesight and stare at my family as they devour the ship. A snow crystal is applied around the attack mouth, which was flying a silver needle, and the silver turns white. Was the magic of the four overwhelming, the whole ship wrapped in snow and ice, and it didn't take that long to freeze to the sea only in the pillars of light?

"Do you have any family yet?

"Two or three."

Ferdinand called the knight of Dunkelferger when he saw and reported his family fading slightly and decreasing in number.

"Heishitze, go!

"Let's go!

When the four Dunkelferger knights jump into the pillar of light and put out a stamp, they say, "Randze!," he said, changing his voice in unison. Lyden shaft spears emitting blue light are held in the hands of all four.

"... that Dunkelferger is Lydenshaft's spear?

"Aub would have brought it out of the temple in a territorial rivalry when I was in third grade, wouldn't he? After that, it looks like he went to the temple for the divinity before Ditter. Mr. Ferdinand is a long way behind on information because he was in Arlensbach, where he did not participate in the House of Lords."

"I'm feeling so bad right now"

A blue cloak rushes down holding a blue glowing spear with the impetus of falling towards the ship.

"Hey, ahhh!

Four spears were thrown along with the temperamental caged Heishitze voice considering the lack of hostages. Even if the magic does not pass, the heat of the lyden shaft is transmitted. The ice that had covered the surface of the ship was blown away and at the same time part of the tile that had covered the surface of the ship was splashed.

Apparently, one of the four thrown spears fitted well into a gap where the metal was able to cool and shrink. A blue magic line runs on the mesh and the tile peels off.

"Rosemaine, protect Aub!

Don't miss this gap, Ferdinand tells me, and I will wield my magic in Starp.

"Volkovezen!"

A yellow bird that protects the inhabitants of Arlensbach in there flies for the ship. Faster than a yellow bird popped out of my starp, Ferdinand had given the following instructions:

"Knock off the bow and make the entrance, Eckhardt!

"Ha!"

"Squad 9, Squad 10, prepare to enter!

"Ha!"

Brother Eckhardt turns Starp into a great sword as he chases after Aub's guardianship and heads to the ship with his magic. A ship stripped of silver that does not pass through magic is no longer an enemy. Slashed by a rainbow glowing sword, the knights of Dunkelferger jump in from the hole they could.

I draw magic formations in Stilo, as Ferdinand told me. Ferdinand threw three demon stones in there. The pillars of white light disappear and winter marks the end. It is very surreal to have frozen ships floating in the sun and temperatures like early summer.

"Master Ferdinand, it appears that Mr. Retizia has been rescued."

Look at the blonde girl who came out of the boat and I look back at Ferdinand. Though it is growing a little, my face hasn't changed that much so I quickly figured it out. Ferdinand exhales softly, wearing the cape I have returned.

"Rosemaine, what do you want to do with Retizia?

"... Huh?

"Do you want to be a clan of traitors, judge me for attempted murder, look for a drop and give me some warmth...... That changes dramatically whether we capture him as a sinner in this setting or treat him as a victim who puts him under surveillance but is rescued"

In the words of Ferdinand I compare Retizia and Ferdinand, who were taken out on the ship.

"If I can give you warmth, I want to. As much as I entrusted the famous stone, so you don't think Master Ferdinand was willing to kill Master Retizia either, do you?

"... you can always be guilty. Let's meet as victims first."
