"Hmm. I see. It's not a tree diagram, but an eye shape of a net."

"Yes, I think so, as far as I'm concerned."

"I see. Thank you, Elvis. Somehow I understood the status quo."

About how magic spreads in the east.

To the best of my ability, I decided to look into it.

Even so, the Vulcan mercenary regiment has few points of contact with each other, so basically, it is within a range that can be inferred from merchants and others.

Still, I think we're seeing an approximate flow.

The nominal connections that have begun to spread in the East, particularly in recent years in small groups of countries, seemed to be very different from those in the western part of the Fontana United Kingdom.

Because there seems to be a big difference between whether there is a church or not.

In the west, the church gives the name, and it also understands and manages all the relationships between nobility and knights.

At a certain age, the average person receives the ritual of naming in the church and gains magical connections with priests in the church, etc.

However, the inheritance ritual is not performed on this ordinary person, and it cannot be used except for life magic.

Other than life magic, people are mainly more than knights.

When you become a knight or higher, you can have multiple parent-child relationships through magical connections.

One is the connection with the Church.

And the other is the parent-child relationship with his lord, the nobles and kings.

What if there were two parents of the church and the LORD, and there were knights beneath whom they became parents?

Such magical connections will be inherited by the master of the knighthood and left to future generations.

The magic flow at this time is, to put it plainly, a tree diagram that spreads from top to bottom.

However, it seems that in this small group of countries, it is not spread in such a way, but in the form of a net.

Because the magic of [naming] is not necessarily used only once.

In other words, it was a big difference from the west in that there were signs that the same person was named from multiple and named for multiple.

In the west, naming was controlled by the church, but in the east, where there was no such manageable organization, disorderly naming prevailed.

For example, let's say a human being was named and given magic by someone.

And when the person who received the name names someone else, the number of people who can use magic increases.

But it didn't end there.

Even though I already have a name and can use magic, I sometimes get a name from someone or give a name to someone who can already use magic.

I think this is probably because I don't understand [naming] in depth.

Naming magic is a magic that can be used when given a name, but the only thing I can understand in my head is that by naming the opponent with a magical team that comes out of the palm after murmuring "Name", I can name the opponent.

In other words, there is no understanding of the parent-child relationship and the mechanism of magic flow due to magic connection.

I can use it many times without any problems, and there is no particular inconvenience, so I rename it again even though the opponent can use magic.

That seems to be happening.

And because they are not unusual, magical connections are formed like the eyes of a complex intertwined net.

That was the current situation in the East.

"But I wonder if this has any advantages in a sense."

"Perhaps.If you have been named by one of your opponents, or if the named parent dies, the magic will no longer be available immediately.But if there are multiple names, just because there is no one named parent doesn't mean that magic can't be used. "

"Yes, and even after I'm dead.It also prevents the opponent you named from suddenly losing magic.I don't know if it was a coincidence or because something like that actually happened, but it means you're preventing us from losing our magic. "

This flow probably occurred spontaneously.

And that's what's going on right now.

Magic continues to spread in this eastern part of the country without a church, largely due to the complex magical connection caused by the abuse of [naming].

As a result, we have succeeded in avoiding a sudden loss of magic.

But it meant on the contrary that there was something to lose.

Because magical connections occur so complicated that it seems difficult for one person to gather magic from a large number of people.

In the church, can I say that there is no God, no Pope, no Cardinal?

By sending your magic to various people and flowing in from various people, it is possible that something like averaging the amount of magic is happening.

No, I don't think so.

Because it seems that the amount of magic in bananas and the like is increasing.

Perhaps someone in a higher position has become somewhat of a superior presence.

Unlike ordinary people who can use magic, I didn't [name] many people casually, and I didn't.

Therefore, the magic influx from the magic connection spreading in the east is happening to some people.

As a result, only a small part of it seems to be a total magic acquisition.

"So, after all, the key is the upper echelons of Orient?That's where the name comes from, so there's going to be a lot of people with magic. "

"Yes, a congressman from the Orient Country.Their magic levels will definitely continue to grow if they stay the same.As a result, the power of the Orient nation, known as the weaker nation, may grow. "

Yeah, that might be possible.

Employer Orient Country may grow.

That would be good news.

But we also need to follow the Balkan mercenary regiment against that growth.

Because if our power is small, it can make things worse.

Again, it may be important to build on the strength of the Balkan mercenary regiment.

While investigating how the magic spread in the east, I thought like this again.
