Legend

"... I see. Any suspicious movements in Frizione? I do know the idea, and I can understand it. However... you seem to have moved a little slowly. No, given Frizione's character, isn't that even possible?

Kabazid shrugs as he glances at the reports submitted by his men.

The smile that is floating in your mouth has the beauty that those who see will be blinded unexpectedly.

The expression of elegance and elegance mixed together was like a single painting with the soft sunlight of autumn pouring out the window.

"... Ha! Oh, no. Yes. Given His Highness Frizione's character, I still don't think the battle between blood relatives was acceptable. To the rebels for that... No, I have a verse sending a messenger to His Highness Merclio."

The man who brings the report answers in a panic knowing that he had been blinded by his own master for a few seconds or so.

Nothing. This man is not a homosexual. Even so, I was in a hurry at myself for being accidentally blinded.

But Kabazid nods back without looking like he cared at all.

"I guess. If I certainly don't want the battle to take place as it stands, I would choose the means. But... it's already too late. If this was still before Bratta and the others lost, it wasn't even possible."

"Was that possible?

"Oh. Of course in that case, I think it was a lot more troublesome than it is now. Besides, there is the question of whether Merclio accepts it or not. Just..."

The gaze of Kabazid, who missed his gaze, is directed toward the window.

What you see outside is a growing garden of beautiful and harmonious trees.

The brilliant trees in the light of the sun, which should be called autumn sunshine, do not look dead at all, even though it is autumn.

If a man of the right knowledge sees the garden, he will open his eyes wide open.

Because some of the trees that grow in the garden still do not wither, even those that sprout in the spring and summer, and remain there in luminosity.

He who has knowledge as a gardener, and knowledge of magic. Kabazid turns his loving gaze to a sight that will open his eyes wide if these men see it.

Stay put for a few seconds. Eventually satisfied with the view seen through the window, Kabazid opens his mouth to his men again.

"You were hostile to me once. It wouldn't have been that easy."

"... Yes"

Nodding to the voice of the Lord, the man moves on to the next report.

"With regard to Rhodos, we are empowered by Perfir's training. I was wondering if His Highness Kabazid would be able to use the Fire Eater shown."

"I hear there's quite a bit of burden on the user, but what about that one?

"That's..."

He was a man to speak of, but eventually opens his mouth to a gaze that prompts him to go ahead of Kabazid.

"Surprised. I guess that means exactly who draws the blood of the thunder god's axe. There seems to be some wear and tear, but compared to those who have been tested so far, it is out of step"

It's stunning to be on a man's face.

That would be natural, too. The magic item Kabazid gave to Rodos was created by an alchemist held by the Bestian Empire, but it was a substitute for the saying that there had never been a single person who could use it.

Even if you are lucky, fatigue strikes your whole body and you will not be able to move for a few days, and those who are unlucky are eaten up even the flame of life as the name of that magic item suggests.

Fire Eater, a giant tornado of flames that has become a cut off for the defeat of the Bestian Imperial Army in this spring's war. It was a magic item created to combat it.

I mean, it was built from the beginning to cope with Ray's fire whirlwind, so if you try Rodos, who wants a win over Ray, you can't even hope for any more magic items.

The effect is to eat the flame created by magic as the name suggests… absorb it and turn it into your own magic. Initially, when absorbing magic beyond the user's magic tolerance, the body bursts and dies, but now that the magic beyond the magic tolerance is windy enough to escape outside, no one dies from the excessive absorption of magic.

Most importantly, it still puts a lot of strain on the user, but this time it was not an issue as the man who came to report it because the highly talented person named Rhodos was the user.

"Nevertheless, I was surprised. I didn't expect to create this kind of magic item less than a year after the Spring Battle... our country's alchemists are still excellent"

"Right, of course it's true that our country's alchemists are excellent. But it's also true that I've been studying Fire Eater's basic theory for a long time."

"... Really? You think I've known about deep red for a long time?

In the man, I guess the flames and rays are tied together in equals. Ask Kabazid as surprised.

Certainly because Ray is just unparalleled in the fiery magic that came out here recently, so naturally. But Kabazid shakes his neck to the side to deny the man's words.

"No, that's not what I meant. However, there are several types of magic that you know of. That's the kind of fine difference that would make even that muscle expert get lost. But... of the hundreds of magic there will be, depending on how many, dozens, and counts, what magic do you think is the most used in battle?

"It's... flames"

I said it was well done, but I smiled and nodded Kabazid.

"Of course it will come in many different ways depending on where you fight and the surrounding environment. If it's a battle by the sea or on a ship, the magic of using things like water and ice is effective, and in mountains, the magic of earthlineage. But if the Bestian Empire turns against each other as an army, it's still a flame if it's more capable of killing and can attack extensively."

Sure, and a snort man.

If the Bestian Empire had the sea, the story might have been somewhat different.

But unfortunately, there are mostly mountains and meadows around the Bestian Empire, and as a result, not so many people use the magic of the water system.

"Does that mean I've been letting you study it for a long time to deal with the magic of flames?

"You will. Magic items like this don't mean we can let them study today yesterday and get results tomorrow. Years of technical accumulation are the only thing that matters. But not without a genius flashing inside."

Yes, this is... this Fire Eater is what Kabazid thought was the trump card to deal with Ray's fire whirlwind.

I thought if I didn't have a user, I would have to let others use the danger of my life knowingly, but it was Rhodos who just showed up there.

Draw the blood of an aliased Rank A adventurer's father, with high potential. At the same time, I have feelings close to hatred for Ray, and there is nothing more to make me use Fire Eater.

Above all, I wasn't originally one of my own, so it's also significant that if I can't use Fire Eater and die, there won't be any direct damage.

(There have also been reports of various suspicious movements... which have made up for it and brought about too much results)

Rodos' face passed behind Kabazid's brain for a moment, but quickly disappears in the words of a man under his command.

"But Deep Red uses flaming tornadoes. It is a blend of flames and tornadoes, as the word goes. What if the tornado is still there, as it absorbed the flame in Fire Eater from the flaming tornado?

"You sure do. But as far as the battles he's fought so far, basically he's a fiery wizard...... no, you can consider him a magic warrior. Sure, some of the magic emanating from that sickle is colorful, but it obviously falls a few steps compared to the magic of the flames that led to having a deep red alias."

To Kabazid's explanation, the man recalls the magic of fire and the magic of the wind he saw several times at the martial arts tournament, and eventually convinces himself.

But that was natural. Indeed, Kabazid's guess that Ray found himself to be specialized in the magic of flames is correct. But more precisely, the only thing Ray can use is the magic of flames.

Other than that, attacks like Flying Slash, which Ray describes as wind magic all around him, are due to death-size skills created by Warcraft, and unlike magic, which can use immense magic to increase power, skill levels are directly linked to power.

That's why Ray's diverse methods of attacking with the skills he unleashes due to his death size are extraordinarily inferior to the magic of flames.

Besides, it would be impossible to see that far into a kabazid who has no knowledge of the existence of warcraft.

"But isn't a tornado a lot of trouble at some point?

"It certainly won't make a difference that tornadoes are troublesome. But it's more dangerous for tornadoes to blend in with flames. Man dies of fever, and his surroundings are burned down with flames. Also, flames instinctively make people fear."

When I tell him that, he talks and moisturizes his throat by drawing water from the water drain placed at the end of the office.

Naturally, this watermark is also a magic item.

It is also intended to prevent assassination, even if the poison is mixed in, it has limits but can be deactivated.

Kabazid, who is the first prince and leads the largest faction with the exception of the emperor, also has a commensurate number of enemies.

Naturally, more than that, we need to deal with the assassination, and there's a covert escort lurking in this office.

Moistening his throat with water, Kabazid's mouth spins words again.

A comfortable voice in your ear, even if you're just listening, engraves your impression strongly on the other person.

"Besides, Bratta wasn't looking at the moment when it turned into a tornado of flames in this night raid either, but it's already turning out how a tornado of flames was created during the spring war. The fusion of flaming tornadoes and wind tornadoes into one, and being able to produce that power for the first time, if you remove the flames before..."

"I see! Flaming tornadoes are likely to go away!

"Probably, I can only say. But with the rebels... no, we have to make it a tornado of flames, make it other magic, we have to do something about the flames anyway"

"That's Fire Eater..."

It was a kabazid snort at the man's blunt words, but its insides are somewhat complicated.

(If you are indeed the one who uses the magic of normal flames, it will do nothing with Fire Eater. But deep red is not the main user of the line. Totally, where did Vihera find such a man, too)

Some of Cabazide's men naturally have wizards. And also those who have the ability to feel the other person's magic.

The truth of what I heard from my men during the martial arts tournament - of course, Kabbazid does not meaninglessly doubt my men's words - means that the magic of the person named Deep Red is a genuine monster class.

How can you manage the magic of such an opponent, even if it's a magic item created to absorb a lot of flames? That's what I think.

(Another hand...... maybe I'll be using this one for real)

Another remaining hand, past the back of Kabazid's brain. With that, we were half sure that perhaps the battle would end with our own victory.

Why didn't you use it from the beginning? Because the price you pay when you use it is huge.

That's what I just don't want to use as much as I can in the present situation, considering what happened after the Civil War, making it a caveat to make judgments by being ruthless in order to win.

(But it doesn't make sense to lose because you hesitate to do so. then...... well, I wonder what it is)

Quickly calculate risks and returns in your head, adding faces like Rhodos and Fire Eater, Crusaders working with Schuls to dispatch, and Bratta burning in the snowflake...

"I guess I'll be glad to set you up in the next fight."

"Your Highness Kabazid?

A man asks Kabazid, who shrugged, but a grin that it's nothing that's returned.

Neither does the man pry any further, and the conversation moves on to the matter of crusade formation.

Last time, Soble finished all the arrangements around there by himself, but naturally we can't leave it to Soble any more than the rebels captured us.

That's why some of Cabazide's men were called to the office, who were very good at working with this hand.

Although he is honored to be called, he will be reminded of the competence of his predecessor, Soble.

"I'm thinking about leaving about six months later. If I can, I want everything ready by then."

To the words from Kabazid, the man had to bow his head saying he understood.
