- That's why.
Having finished my recollection of my previous history, I kept myself deeply in a large leather chair in the study of The Sage's Hall.
Fairy Metius is in the process of deciphering the Magic Book (Grimoire), The Magic Definition of a New World, which he obtained on his way back.
- You've got quite a few ingredients.
After one incident in the oasis city of Kanyan, I got some information.
It can be a "key" to analyzing and countering "ancient magic".
At present, the biggest threats are the wizards of the Western Stralian countries - the Duke of Automatéria Norard, the remnant of the secret society Zordaxzaian, and his subordination and perceived moderates.
In terms of security, the first priority should be to find countermeasures to the allusions and curses, such as the one that was being set up by Her Highness Princess Snoovel. We need to detect and disable the magic of the 'ancient magic' series, close to 'invisible' to our Metanostadt wizards.
First, organize the information in hand (...).
The first is a sample of "ancient magic", arguably a local product (...) used by the oddly contested "Miyard Numbers" on the day of the Sage Hall's move.
Although the analysis of magic fluctuations and properties is progressing, the mechanism of the core part on morphological change remains unclear.
The second is the information left by Zachfriegel Liedburn, the strongest wizard of the secret society Zordaxzaian, who fought at the restarted Castle of the Demon King. Magic fragments, as well as live data collected in the Sovereign Legion (Circle) during battle, will be valuable tactical information (...). Because of the speed of excitation of the magic they used, the range of effects, and their weaknesses in the case of foggy changes, it was established that "ancient magic" was never all-powerful invincible magic.
Mitsuke is a new set of information obtained in the oasis city of Kanyan.
Aside from the fact that Ergonote's treasure sword comes from (...), apparently, "The Dawn of Thunder God (Sandagart) (Holresort)" was planted with a kind of "ancient magic" as the magic of sealing.
It's a terrible curse to turn a burglar who tried to pull out his sword into a half-way rat person and a courageous one who pulled out his sword completely into a "little rat".
But when it comes to Mitsuki eyes, it's dark under the lamp.
Unsurprisingly, the victims and precious samples of "ancient magic" have always lived together in the Hall of Wise Men.
That is, Pram and his friends "Chiutai".
If I had wandered the desert, 'Chiuta' would have died, and being sent here as Alberina's user demon would have turned out well.
Was this a coincidence...? When the Demon King's Castle investigation team returns, we're going to need to question Alberlina.
There are still things I can't solve.
"... chu"
I gently walked down the floor, hand-wrapped the little rat up and put it on the table in the study.
On a desk illuminated by a crystal lamp in the study, "Chiu Tai" makes a hairy appearance.
The trick is the rat itself, but it doesn't move around at all, it doesn't escape.
"Have you gotten any smarter?
"Chiu"
"How could... you tell me now? Even during the Isravian unrest, 'Chuuta' was in the sage hall, and there would have been tying stops in the oasis city of Kanyan, too?
……
Kun, nose, and move the beard.
Obviously behaves differently than before. When I first came here, I was certainly clever, but I was showing how I behaved as a wildlife. But now I can feel restraint and intelligence in my movements.
Something must have triggered it.
For example, the day I moved here, I felt the waves of 'ancient magic' nearby, or that I started exploring 'ancient magic'. But neither is speculation.
Can't we at least communicate a little more?
Speaking of which, I was able to have about a "yes" or "no" conversation with a rat human at a stolen store in the back alley of the oasis city of Kanyan.
Then wouldn't it be possible to communicate easily with the current 'Chutai' as well?
and then think that far and go back to the word "dark beneath the lamp" again.
...... Plum knows how it feels, like Larna or Hall Slime......
I got up unexpectedly.
"Sage Grecas? What's going on?
Researcher-style fairy Metius turns a decent face.
"How could I not have noticed!? Because it's this hall... if everyone is here, we can do it!?
haha! Unexpectedly turns in the study and catches the 'Hall Slime' that was moving in the corner of the room.
"Cu?"
Cheeks on blue puny water balls.
"Rana and you guys via Hall Slime...... you should be able to do it if you want the word to be conveyed and Plum to read the will......!
I hurried and went downstairs to get the plums.
"Pram! Rana! Talk to the rats!
"I said something odd to the wise man!?
