“What's that supposed to mean? Letting me cross the wall... ”
“Literally. It'll help you take a step over the wall. ”
Maybe because I saw a smile as big as my own. Calmond's gaze settles quietly.
Calmond's the only one who knows what I'm really good at. He actually tried to fight me, and he was the closest I ever saw to defeating my enemies. You'll soon realize what I'm talking about.
As expected, he nods, ready to do anything.
“I'll accept anything the Master teaches me. ”
Simply put, I was thinking of taking his error level to the next level.
He was good at basic skills and reception, as he was level 41. What is lacking is the amount of error. If we could launch the error a little stronger, we'd have fewer enemies.
Is that even possible?
Enough.
I have mastered Manasim with self-study. And Manawa and Aurora are forces of similar principles. It's not a step up if you're passing on the law that I learned.
Of course, we also have to do some cumbersome work to increase the amount of error.
“But first, let me ask you one question. Why do you want to be so strong? Is it the company?”
“That's not it. because I have a personal goal. ”
“What kind of goal? ”
When trying to be strong, it is quite important what purpose you have set. I learned this from Arthurs. I should be able to wield the sword one more time.
With a resolute look on his face, Calmond replies.
“A long time ago... I mean, back when I was a scorpion. It's a little embarrassing, but there was a huge blow to the mystery man. ”
Wait, I don't know why this story....
“I ran into a masked man in the Alcaine Merchant Guild Storage, and he was badly wounded. He was coming, too. My goal is to find him somehow and avenge him. It's not enough. ”
I see you haven't forgotten me.
Calmond had in mind what I once fought against when I robbed the Alcaine Merchant Guild Storage.
Well, if you forget the man who put a sword through his chest to reach the threshold of death, it's not unmanned. I'd wake up even if I slept.
How to make excuses.
“Well, I don't know what he is because I don't know the situation, but is there a story to it? ”
“Yes?”
“No. Hahaha. I'm just saying. Come on, let's practice. Sit tight. ”
I don't think it's possible to reveal my identity for a while. I never thought I'd be sharpening a blade of revenge like this.
Of course, even if I knew who I was, it didn't seem like Calmond would be that angry.
I have loyalty and affection for me now, and I had my reasons back then. We can think of it as a minor hazing.
“Take a slow inhale and concentrate. From now on, I will hand over the law of error. ”
Calmond was surprised by the words "error method."
The law of error is literally the way to deal with error. This includes various physical and mental effects such as breathing and meditation. I have learned the Manashim method, so I can pass on the sub-compatible version of the error method without any problems.
“Empty your mind completely, and concentrate on the movement of the error I'm pouring now. It may hurt. Be patient.”
He didn't answer. It was evidence that he was completely focused.
I took my hand to his back and spilled the error. Then we examined the error circuits in his body. The error has the same circuitry as Mana.
Cramped and complicated. The efficiency of the error was very low.
He must have mastered the error with self-study. If not, I understand the lesson was not long.
Once I attempted contact with an error in his handicap.
Whoo-hoo!
His error and my error reacted and an interaction occurred. The cost was extreme.
“... Hehe. ”
A groan comes from Calmond's mouth. The blood vessels seemed painful enough. But he was patient. So I could move on to the next step.
I raised the error a little stronger.
Whoo-hoo!
Now, rather than an error of wielding his body, my error has gained an advantage. I tied his error to a monopod and then renewed the error circuit with only my error.
If I can get the errors in my heart to gather, I can launch a much more powerful error sword, but not on my own level. Optimizing the error circuit is all I can do.
I can try, but I don't know what will happen to Calmond's life.
I think I finally understand why the wizards were gathering and experimenting.
“This is the real beginning. No matter what happens to your body. Never resist. ”
A stronger force was needed to fix the error circuit. So I let go of an innocent Mana, and I repaired his circuitry as similar to the circuitry in my body as possible.
In the process, he suffered severe pain to the point of vomiting blood.
But I endured it well. It was proof that they believed in me firmly.
There was a desire to be strong, but it also meant that I was prepared to lay down my life for myself.
After a long time, I successfully completed the renewal of the error circuit from Calmond's disconnect to his limbs.
Calmond's expression is much lighter.
“That's enough. How are you feeling?"
“…… I feel really light. I feel like I'm about to fly right now. ”
“Move it. ”
Calmond, who was instructed, jumps up and pulls out his dagger. Two daggers were wielded with a sense of propriety. Soon came the orb, and his sword parted the air much more forcefully.
After a long time, Calmond stops slowly and retrieves the dagger.
Then he knelt before me.
“Thank you for the enlightenment. Master.”
“You should do this for someone who's risking his life for me. Consider it repayment, of course. That's convenient for each other. ”
“I learned to dagger in the back alley by myself without a single teacher. But now I feel like I've finally met my teacher. ”
“But don't take me as a teacher. ”
It meant a lot. I wanted him to be my life partner. I didn't want to get involved in a complicated relationship between a teacher and a student.
“The orb must have climbed up the wall, do you think? ”
“I'm definitely over it. I can't control the power coming from my whole body. ”
“But don't be lazy in training. In the end, we will have to increase the amount of error we have. I'll teach you how to breathe. ”
“Yes, Master. ”
I handed him the essence of the law of error, then took a break and asked him what to say. I gave him instructions before I left for the Royal Road.
“Have you met Prague's Confederate? ”
“Well, I've never met him. ”
“Rumor has it you're not out at all stuck in a mansion? ”
“Yes. I've sent letters and visited several times, but I couldn't meet the Confucius. ”
It's not easy to silence a request for an audience with Mathis Vice-Master, though no one else knows. I was sending donations regularly.
“You didn't get a proxy, did you? ”
“Yes, I just said I don't have any visitors for a while. ”
“That's suspicious.”
I remembered he was obsessed with necromancy and dark magic.
Essentially, necromancy and dark magic require ‘sacrifices’. Necromancy is a technique that can be refined to some extent, but dark magic is different. I need a live sacrifice.
Then it was inevitable that rumors or incidents would start spreading around here. He has the Holy Grail of Diablos in his hands.
If you want to experiment, now is the time.
So I asked.
“Any unspeakable rumors in town lately, or anything out of the ordinary? People disappearing, graves being dug up. ”
“I don't know… ah! By the way, the kidnapper is active these days, so the town is in a bustling mood. They say children are disappearing mainly. ”
“Where's the grave? ”
“I'm not sure about that. Let's find out.”
Something smells fishy. Adeline has good security. The Earl next to him may not know the fountain and be frantic, but it is not enough for a crime to occur.
“Any more information on the kidnapper? ”
“Rumor has it. I didn't do much research. Once you plunder your hands from the shadows, information doesn't come in as well as it used to. ”
Well, he was supposed to run the company. Did that happen? Most likely.
“Bring all the lines together and find out what happened. ”
“I see. But does that have something to do with the Prague Confederacy? ”
“I don't know yet. Now we have to find out.”
Calmond lowers his head slightly for submission.
“I'm leaving. Take care.”
“Have a safe trip. Master.”
I shrugged his shoulders once before stepping out of Mathis. The burden of the mind that had been piled up felt a little lighter.
Calmond's appeal rose 2 points from 90 to 92.
Given that it is very difficult to raise after 90, it is truly a dramatic change.
“It's fun.”
It made my life more enjoyable knowing how to increase my colleagues' likelihood.
So I walked the road alone at night.
* * *
The next day, I made some preparations before leaving Adeline territory.
First of all, Tordand, my voyage to the area that will now be called Medici, has been postponed. Some areas are rugged, but not as efficient as the route to the Royal Road.
I was curious about the place, but for a while I decided to delegate my inner circle to your manager.
So now I'm waiting for management in the conference room.
At the time of the appointment, the door opened and an old man dressed neatly came inside. He had a cane in his hand, and it looked quite old.
“I meet the new lord. This is Nord, the chief of Thor Dance Village. ”
“Greetings, chief. This is Dylan.”
“Please speak freely. ”
I didn't mean to. The chief wasn't supposed to be old, and recognizing the rank is the shortcut to a healthy relationship.
“We can't ignore the chief of a village. I hear you've been in charge of the Tor Party for a long time. ”
“This is where I was born and raised. It's natural to have your own house. ”
“Reliable.”
“I really am. I'm so glad to have this kind of mercy as Lord. ”
Honestly, it's not enough to be called a lord. I think it would be convenient just to think of it as the old chief. No, what's Old Town Chief? It's just an old friend.
“Have a seat, please. You must be tired from the long haul. ”
I led the chief to the couch. He was a little hesitant, and when I suggested it again, he sat down.
