"Oh, what's going on in the morning?"
"Let me in for a second"
Sheila looks a little annoyed, but Lecan walked into the work room, regardless. And when I sat in the chair, I took the giant demon stone out of the (storage).
"Oh, that's"
"It is the demonic stone of the dragon Vrus of the other world. I'm going to the Gorbull Labyrinth for a while from today, so I thought I'd keep it."
"Right. Well, I'm sorry I bothered. Well, have some tea."
As Sheila moved her fingertips, the top of the wall shelf fluttered down. It is lined with tea leaves, but this was the first time for Lekan to drink the tea.
The water burned in an impossible short time. But from here it cools to the right temperature to brew the tea, then slowly hits the tea leaves in the water. Without magic, time naturally awaits. I mean, we have some time ahead.
"Sheila uses magic without a spell, but can I do it?"
"Mm-hmm. Spell omission. That's right."
After a little thought, Sheila said.
"You could hit a firestone and set it on fire, right?
"Oh."
"Why do you think a meeting of firestones would set you on fire?
Recan answered slowly as he assembled the answer in his head.
"When you meet hard objects with hard objects, there can be sparks. Firestone is a stone that sparks easily when you meet. So we can meet the firestone and light it."
"Damn, I'm surprised. Excellent answer. You think like a researcher. Well, I'll ask you, what's hard? What are you doing in a meeting? What's a fire?
"Hard means that an object is not fluffy and not easily slashed. Meeting means bumping two or more things together. What is fire is what is burning. No, this isn't an explanation, it's a rephrase."
"Shall I change the question? There's a firestone in your body. You can't hit a firestone with your hands. Come on, how do you light it?
"Use the magic of" Move ""
"Nice, nice. That's a good answer. But spells are forbidden. Now, how do we use the magic of" Move "?
"... I don't know"
"To activate magic without casting a spell, you have to reproduce the magical work that happens by casting a spell almost in your own mind. That requires knowing the nature of the work. If you don't go back to the roots and understand why you can set fire with a firestone, you won't be able to set fire without a spell."
Jericho came into the room with something on the basin.
Baked confectionery. Sheila served it on a plate and offered it to Lecan.
"When you have mastered magic, you will eventually master all magic. That's not a dimensional question of not having aptitude. Those who truly excel in magic will understand the essence of all magic. This is a different story than magical power."
Sheila shredded the tea into two pieces and offered one to Lecan.
"Moving to that stage, without a spell, the Appraisal can activate magic that has the same effect as the Appraisal. In the beginning, however, it takes more than ten times longer than it takes to cast a spell, and it can fail to activate"
Sheila glanced gently at the giant demonic stone on her desk.
"The one who uses magic without a spell, and to breathe softly, is not a normal person. It's the one who stands on a magical foundation, like being itself. It's the one who lives in the world of nature. If you ever get into one of those, Lecan,"
Sheila drank a cup of tea.
"Run, now. Even if the opponent only has a very small magic power. He's not like you. Your weakness blinks in one spot and you get killed or worse."
Recan tasted Sheila's words as she rinsed the tea. I guess this is Sheila's preserved tea leaf. It is very delicious and easy to remember.
"Remember well"
2.
After I left Sheila's house, I left the West Gate as it was and headed for Gorbull. Even though it's usually close enough to get there in just two days on foot, few people come and go with Voca to and from Golbull. The carriage is only out enough to count, too.
We arrived at noon.
I first stopped by the grocery store to buy food to eat in the labyrinth. Of course, it has to be sunny, but it doesn't have to be too extremely dehydrated. It should be about ten days of exploration at best. Both the clerk and the other customers seemed to be concerned about Lecan, and they sent a little glance.
A sign called "Potion Shop" hung next to it, so I stopped by.
"Yes, there you are"
There were few customers, but there was just an empty clerk at the counter, so I moved on.
"How much can you buy a small red potion for?
"Huh? I'm not thin right now, so it's standard."
"How much is the standard amount?"
"It's a big silver coin, isn't it? You're amazing, aren't you? Don't you even know that?"
"I've come a long way. I don't know if they call it the standard amount of this land. When you get thin, does the price go up?
"That's right. In the middle of last month, it was incredibly thin. One big silver coin, up to five silver coins."
"What is the standard amount of red medium potion?
"Two Big Silver Coins"
"What's the big red potion?
"Three large silver coins. But the big red potion is easy to get thin because the big adventurers buy it in gold."
"I see. How much is the blue potion, small and large?"
"It's real, with red."
That means the six gold coins that Cheney gave to Lecan as a price for the potion weren't that special.
"Sounds like you're doing the buying in the back. Is the purchase amount determined?"
"Just half the price, that's the rule."
"Okay. You got in the way."
When I left the store, I heard rumors behind me.
"Oh, hey, that one."
"Oh, that's the Demon King in Black."
"I'm scared. Wow, that's powerful."
"I shouldn't let you open your closed left eye. They're going to petrify him."
(Closed left eye?) (No way) (You mean me?
As soon as he left the store in suspicion, he was called out loud from outside the scope of "3D perception".
"Oh-ooh! Lekaruuuuuuuuuu!!"
It was Doug, the labyrinth guard captain.
