"You said Lilina reads books all the time. What kind of books do we have here?
"Right. Not much, but some history books."
"Hmm, isn't that a novel or something?
"Is it a novel, a gaga, etc? Because books are expensive. I don't think there's much for kids."
"Oh well. Parchment alone is pretty expensive. Does a book treat you like a luxury product?"
"Yes. So every book is just a hard way to write... It's going to take me a while to decipher a book."
I see.
Speaking of which, I've heard stories in previous life that books used to be precious.
I don't know that the content is difficult.
The old man has told me that I have to praise him with quite a few words, such as letters he writes to nobles?
Maybe not at a level where words are simply applied, where they can be read, and the dictionary is scattered with difficult words and modifiers at the level you want.
You may not understand this if I show you the book and read it.
It's going to be a level story of reading classics without prior knowledge.
"Well, is it that hard? So, Lilina, why don't you tell me what's in the book so I can understand it?
"What's the book about? Me?"
"Yes, yes. You said there was a history book. I don't know much about history. Please, Lilina."
"Okay. Then I don't know how far I can explain it to you, but I'll talk to you.... I'm nervous."
"Well, you don't have to be so conscious. In the meantime, can I ask you a question? Do you know why the royal family that brings the aristocracy together has declined?
"The decline of the royal family, is it? Yeah, of course I know. I'll explain."
That's how I was supposed to take history classes from Lilina.
The land we live in is huge.
But the land was surrounded.
A vast forest stretches out to the north and mountains high enough to pierce the heavens to the east.
And to the west and south there are so many valleys and wetlands that it is the crack of the earth.
We lived in a land surrounded by nature.
A land surrounded by nature and less worried about external enemies, but only when did someone emerge to put it together.
That was the royal ancestor.
The first king possessed the magic of overwhelming the others, and followed everything around him and ascended to the ruler of the land.
That's where we took advantage of the Church's magic guidance system.
He reinforced himself by adding wizards dotted all over the world to his distribution and reigned as the absolute king.
The wizards reigned as a ruling class with the first king at the top, and many years passed.
But at one point, the royal dominion gave me a flavor.
Until then, some of the children of the wizards, who had become aristocrats to support the royal family, disobeyed the king.
Naturally, the king was furious.
He has acquitted the rebellious aristocrats and made them solemn.
But I guess it would have been nice if this had been what the first king did, but there was a decisive difference between the then king and the first king.
That means that the king at the time was not a wizard in the pure sense, but only an heir who inherited the power of the first king.
"At the time, the tyrant Nero, who was disobeyed by the nobility, was overconfident in his own power. I thought it was no problem to solemnize the nobility."
"What do you mean? You mean the name of the king's source of power, right? Instead of giving them magic, they become parents and children, and parents receive magic from their children."
"That's right. King Nero, who solemnly sanctified his nobility, was thereby drastically reduced in strength."
"Rapid decline? Did you go around killing so many nobles, that the king"
"No, it didn't seem that massive. But that solemnity has reduced the rank of the king."
"Decreasing rank…"
"Yes, the great magic that only the king used to unify the first king was lost by Solemnity."
"Big magic? Is there such a thing? No, there was..."
"That's right. One theory tells us that we could have wiped out one city by simply exercising great magic once."
"Then again, you're going to use a ton of magic just once.... Oh, I see. You got a big, stupid magic vendetta with magic usage."
Speaking of which, Bishop Paul said it too.
Since you named me, you've gained more magic, gained more rank, and now you can use healing magic.
It must have been the thought of reaching out to the Fontana family and me so they wouldn't lose that rank.
Without a source of magic called me, my ranks will drop and I won't be able to use healing magic.
I guess the royal failure was the same thing.
Probably used the great magic of the royal family and their magic beyond limits.
But that's never a bad thing.
In a way, it could even be taken for granted.
When the name is given, the magic that the parent, the superior, can use will also be used by the child.
The fact that those with the Barca surname can now use attack magic such as [shotgun] and [ice spear] is also the effect of the magic I have and the magic of my parent, the Fontana family.
But this also has problems.
It's dangerous when everyone can use attack magic like [shotgun] or [ice spear].
In order to reduce the risk of this transmission of attack magic, a mechanism could be put in place to take as knights what credibility can place as a half-simplified understanding before giving it a name.
But there are other ways to avoid inadvertently transmitting magic.
It's a way for a named opponent to prepare magic that consumes so much magic that it's unusable.
Magic so unusable even by common knights and nobles.
What would happen if there were magic that could also be called such great magic?
Parents receive magic from their children, but children become incapable of using the great magic that their parents possess.
There is nothing against the royal family if there was such a massive amount of magic that only the royal family, the leader of the magic path by the magic guidance system, could use it.
If you ask me, it would be like only the royal family has a bomb.
If every city you're turning against is going to be erased, you don't have to follow it quietly.
But over the course of his long history, the royal family has fallen prey to it.
I took it for granted that there was great magic.
After having solemnly cleansed the nobility, I realized the gravity of what had happened for the first time since the great magic had been lost.
That I can't take it back anymore.
Lilina tells us that the tyrant Nero seemed to have laid down his oppression until he was horrified.
With the great magic lost, the royal family rushed to reconnect with the nobility.
But many nobles said they didn't make it good.
Until then, nobles who could not resist the royal family because they could use great magic could not quietly follow the royal family, which could no longer use great magic.
Instead, it even led to rejection of the name from the royal family to prevent repression.
Thus the power of the royal family has lost its great magic and has been depressed to the same extent as other nobles.
But the history of this world doesn't suck either.
After all, once the royal family that laid down the oppression had been removed, each nobleman began a territorial dispute for his own personal gain.
Sometimes the church forbade it from having offensive magic from its inception, and it did not become a substitute for the royal family.
It was because of that that many more years were spent in the war.
"Hmm. I didn't think I'd be able to hear more about it. Good study. Thank you, Lilina."
Lilina talks more and more about whether she enjoys talking about the knowledge she knows.
Overflowing with intensity, but with a corny laugh when the story went a little out of line, she showed off her knowledge at all costs.
So I could hear a lot of non-royal stories from Lilina.
