Let's Manage The Tower

(1) Tin wand again

Shreyne bent her neck with her arms tied in front of a table in a relaxing space.

There is a tin wand on the table, and Shreyne is worried about something as she looks at it.

There is an implicit understanding in the relaxing space.

That means doing it in your room when you want to be alone.

Conversely, if you want to talk to someone or if you want to be asked, you can worry about them in a relaxing space.

Perhaps it is the desire for someone to listen that the examiner is worried about in a relaxing space.

Essentially a place called the Vamilinian Castle, Schlein rarely appears to be troubled in this relaxing space.

Sylvia talked to me about his unusual appearance.

"It's unusual. Did something happen?

"... hmm? Oh, Sylvia. No, I don't have any particular reason... I wish I'd used it in the training room, but it didn't work out."

You can tell what went wrong by looking beyond Shreyne's gaze.

"Did the magic street get worse?

Sylvia had previously heard from Schlein about the effects of the cane.

I heard that the amount of magic used in performing the ritual was uneven, so I wondered if there had been any change in it.

But Shreyne shook her head to the side of Sylvia's question.

"No, that's not how it works.... I wonder if there are other uses for this cane, but I don't know what they are."

"Oh, I see. Is that what this is about?"

To Shreyn's answer, Sylvia had a convincing look.

Schlein's cane was made by Kaiseki, but he doesn't know everything about how to use it.

It may seem strange to hear that, but this cane does not incorporate a specific mechanism and is designed to change depending on the user.

For this reason, it can be used depending on Schlein, but that is what is bothering Schlein.

It is a suitable cane to call a divine instrument, but it is not convenient for the user.

There are stories about how it can be used as a tool, but I can only think of it as a divine instrument.

Sylvia said to Schlein with a worrying face, with a thoughtful face.

"This is my experience, okay?"

"Of course not. Let me hear it."

Sylvia is struggling to use the mirror's artifacts.

Shreyne nodded loudly to Sylvia, who tried to tell her what she had learned from the experience.

"Without thinking too deeply, it might be better to go back to basically using it."

In the case of water mirrors, Sylvia thought of many things because the peach initially produced an anomalous result, but in the end it had the same effect as a water mirror used as a normal tool.

At first, I thought a lot about it because it was a divine instrument, and it was more flashy (?) I was expecting the effect, but it settled down to the plain place after all.

Given that, it was Sylvia's idea that the artifact might be on the line of the original effect.

After hearing Silvia's story, Shreyne nodded with her hand on her chin, recalling the first time she used a tin wand.

"I see. It may indeed be there.... back to the beginning, right?"

Shreyn grabbed the cane that was on the table while saying so.

In line with the movement, the tin wand made a sharp noise.

The rings in the circle of the head of the cane hit each other and rang.

Shreyn, who closed his eyes for the first time after hearing the sound, opened his eyes again and lowered his head to Sylvia after a deep breath.

"Apparently they're right. Thank goodness."

"No, it's fine. If this is the case, please feel free to contact us."

Oh, let's do that.

Sylvia smiled fluently at Shreyn, who responded lightly to her words.

And after seeing it, Shreyn also returned a small smile.

"Back to the beginning..."

Schlein, who broke up with Sylvia, came to the foot of a hierarchical mountain.

Of course, monsters appear around, but Shreyne doesn't seem to care.

That should have been the case, and when I got to this place, I used a tin wand to perform my own ritual and build a bond.

You don't have to use a tin wand to draw this much boundaries.

Shreyne took the trouble to relocate and came here to perform a ritual.

Vampires are originally people who make and protect contracts.

Of course, there are other qualities that represent the race, but most vampires live with pride as a contracted race.

The blood contract is one of them, and it is undeniable that you are more famous, but the blood contract is only one form of contract.

There are many forms of ritual that vampires have protected and inherited.

Some of them have been lost over a long period of history, but now their companions in the northern towers are scattering around the world in search of lost information.

The ritual Shreyne is about to perform was one of them.

When Shreyn's wand was pointing at the ground, a sharp noise was heard.

The sound was deliberately sounded by Shreyn and signifies the beginning of the ritual.

All the sounds were quiet to match the surrounding sounds, and the surrounding sounds were gone.

Aware of it or not, Shreyne began to celebrate the ceremony without seeing it in particular.

The ritual Shreyne is about to perform is to make a contract with the earth.

It is said to be the most exaggerated contract, but in the first place the vampire performs the contract ritual, such as exaggerating things or simple things like simply offering prayers.

Shreyne chose the contract with the earth for this ritual because it is easy for anyone who is a vampire to know.

This is what Shreyne got from Sylvia's tips earlier: "Go back to the beginning."

The ritual of covenant with the earth is simple for anyone who is a vampire and is one of the oldest traditions.

It has long been said that the ritual, which is still uninterrupted, was a choice considering that it has some meaning.

Schlein, who had been performing the ritual with a lot of effort from the beginning of the ritual, felt a different feeling than when he was doing it casually.

Especially, every time you proceed with the ritual, the "signs" that you begin to feel become stronger and stronger to support it.

The ceremony would take less than a few minutes if it was the usual format, but the current Schlein was about to go through enough because it took time.

After finishing the final congratulations, the last tightening and banging of the cane on the ground sounded, and the signs that were drifting around quickly gathered in front of Shreyne.

Then, from that sign gathered in an instant, I heard a voice coming towards Shreyn.

"Passed. Shrain"

The voice and the signs gathered were of Clara, the god of the mountains.
