chapter 48
The founder of magic, Mage Arc Builders It is not that there are no relics or artifacts left by him. However, there are no books that he wrote himself.
There is no book written by Meiji Arc Builders, but how his theory was transmitted to posterity is because the disciples who received his teachings wrote books and nurtured disciples again.
In a word, the value of this book in my hands is that it cannot be converted into money even if there is not a single useful content in it.
“Please continue to store the paintings in the warehouse here in moderation, and I will take these books with you for now.”
Along with Mage Arc Builders’ books, I swept all the other books into subspace. And we were guided straight to our accommodation. This is the bedroom used by successive family heads. I just wanted to go and read this book right now.
I came into the dorm, bit people, and immediately took out a book and read it without hesitation. This was something like the autobiography of Mage Arc Builders. For example, a book similar to my record.
The process of where and how the Mage Arc Builders were born and how they grew up and used the power of magic was written intact.
And the story with Drakan was also written. Drakan said that Mage Arc Builders died early, but he lived to be 88 years old. That’s long enough. In Drakan’s eyes, it just looked like a ephemera.
Mage Arc Builders taught the magic he realized to humans and Drakan. However, Drakan transformed it into language magic and taught humans to fix it in a form of magic that was easy to use.
The magic that Mage Arc Builders used was not the magic that uses mana now. It was much closer to using natural energy using the etheric method.
However, when all the students did not understand it, he changed it into the current form of magic and taught it. The method used by Mage Arc Builders developed the ether simbeop, and there was a part very similar to the spiritual sim result that I use.
There were some parts where Mage Arc Builders’ method was great, and some parts had excellent spirits. It seemed that it would be possible to improve in a more outstanding way by gathering only the strengths of the two.
After completing the autobiography of Mage Arc Builders, a week had passed. The greatest genius in human history? rare hero? The giant’s footsteps, which cannot be explained with such words, left a long aftertaste for me.
I also read books written by successive family heads. Most of them were close to useless miscellaneous books, but there was something about sorcery books in the diary of the head of the previous generation.
By analogy, it was clearly related to the book of Mage Arc Builders. I didn’t know that Jeonjeondae Family Head was a book about Meiji Arc Builders, but I was convinced that it was a great sorcery book and bought this book with a large amount of money to the extent that the pillar roots were pulled out, but it seemed that I had been scammed.
As a result, Count Akasha’s finances were shaken and the operation of the family began to creak, and the attack of the surrounding lords who were aiming for the gap led to the collapse of Count Akasha’s family.
As a result, it was a great fortune for me, but it was the autobiography of Mage Arc Builders, which unexpectedly brought about the downfall of Count Akasha.
After a longer-than-expected schedule, we returned to Akashik, our original home. For the time being, he plans to continue the research he has been putting off and increasing his clones without going out of the territory unless there is something special.
The autobiography of Mage Arc Builders was an artifact with many things to study besides the importance of its contents. First of all, this meiji’s autobiography is quite thick to look at, but it’s absolutely not enough to be able to read it in a week.
In other words, the look of the book that you see with your eyes is close to the stomach, and there are actually many more pages. I guess it was a variation of subspace magic, but in a way I had never seen before. I wondered what it would be like to apply this to my records.
The amount of my records that I have already written was not easy. If you use it for another 100 years, the volume of paper that goes into it will be enormous.
That’s how I started researching and increasing my alter ego as if I were practicing lung duct. Of course, he did the basic lord’s duties and occasionally gave a few orders, but he rarely went out of the mansion.
The first thing he did was to improve his spirit resolution. Meiji Arc Builders’ method of using natural energy was close to pure basics. It was the most necessary thing for me who used a method close to expedient without foundation.
It took nearly two years to improve the resolution of the spirit. This was because the research efficiency was increased by continuously increasing the clones, and there were several realizations in the middle.
After that, it was a study on the storage method of Mage Arc Builders’ autobiography, and it was said that poles meet, and this was quite similar to Inclonius’ subspace magic.
It was a method of overlapping space with space and overlapping that space with reality again, but it required a very difficult technique. It’s me, since many clones are calculating at the same time, but it’s possible, but how the hell did Mage Arc Builders make this? After all, Mage Arc Builders were also humans touched by the touch of God. I couldn’t think of anything else. This study also took nearly two years.
The increase in clones was also accelerating. Obviously, the more clones you have, the shorter the adaptation period.
Lastly, it was a study on the automatic writing artifact created by Drakan. This required some physicality. A new artifact was needed to engrave the spell.
The existing Drakan’s ring was so large that there was a lot of space to engrave on it, but there are many restrictions on making something I carry.
So in the end, what I thought was the belt again. The belt made of thinly stretched metal was designed to be used as a sword in case of emergency.
At this time, I went to the smithy and made it myself. Everyone was horrified to see the lord and saint go to the smithy and hammer the hot metal with bellows.
It has been over 10 years since I stole and learned the technology from the continent’s best blacksmith. If you look at it that way, you can do all of this.
Mithril was used as the material for the belt. It is a little difficult to process, but it is light and has good elasticity. It is the best material to make into a belt. The opportunity to use the mithril brought from Drakan’s warehouse came like this.
He broke his confinement and appeared in the blacksmith’s shop, making a fuss and making a whole mithril belt that could write automatically.
I also made my own record book similar to the autobiography of Mage Arc Builders. Even the ingredients that went into it were top-notch ingredients that could spark a game if anyone knew. In addition, I added the preservation magic of the Prisoner family to create a perfect artifact, at least from my point of view.
Five years passed by like that, and before I knew it, I had become a twenty-year-old young man. The number of clones has already exceeded 70. It is now evenly distributed across all continents, and the information power is much higher than before.
Nothing in this world escapes my eyes yet. It’s not to the extent of saying, and of course it doesn’t come close to Ctula or Junon, but at least among beings who haven’t reached godhood, it’s probably the closest thing to omniscience in this world.
A broader view and a lot of information were bringing me a lot. I came to a realization from the daily life of a fisherman, which was not a big deal, and I also found something to learn from the vicious nobleman.
“You seem to have changed a lot lately, my lord.”
One day Jake said so.
“Where is that?”
“It’s hard to explain, but it has changed. How to say, if the behavior I sometimes show was different from normal people before, now the atmosphere is like that.”
Probably right. If it was a feeling of being a little farther away from humans while living a long soul life, now there was a feeling of being a little closer to humans.
“Are you doing well?”
“Yes, we are still bringing in good people.”
Through souls spread across the continent, I was gathering talented people like the children of the Guardian Spirit. Since he couldn’t move it himself, he entrusted the task of bringing him to the Sword Mountain Mercenary Corps created by Zizac.
Like Wither’s previous life, Sword Mountain grew rapidly in a short period of time. Now, the number of mercenaries living with enemies in the Sword Mountain Mercenary Village in my territory has already exceeded 2,000. In terms of numbers, it is already the largest mercenary group on the continent.
Moreover, many of the talents I had to bring in ended up as mercenaries, so there were many excellent resources among the young mercenaries.
As the size of the mercenary group grew, it was almost a monopoly on large requests that could not be done as a mercenary. Sword Mountain branches were already established in important bases in the western continent, and they were making significant advances in the eastern continent as well.
The interesting thing is that Abel Tristan, who is said to have originally founded Sword Mountain in Wither’s previous life, did not become a knight, but now became a mercenary and entered Zizac’s apprentice. Perhaps one day Zizak will inherit the Mercenary Corps. Even if history changes, I wondered if the big trend would continue.
“How is Youngji-kun?”
“There are so many great talents. After 10 years, they will become the strongest knights on the continent.”
Originally, there was no separate Territory Army in the Akasha Territory. It was because Sword Mountain’s mercenaries and the Church’s escorts were enough. However, as the city developed and grew, it became difficult to manage only with them, and three years ago, Yeongji-gun was created.
Talents gathered from all over the continent will become training knights, and if they become competent soon, they will become official knights.
Fortunately, there have been no major incidents in the world for five years. Also, if some fragments appeared, it would have taken up a lot of time.
As soon as I thought about that, I saw something strange in the vision of the alter ego in the western part of the Aether Empire.
“This crazy”
Unknowingly, curse words came out of my mouth.
“Lord?”
“Sir Jake, tell Argyn and Joseph to get ready. It can be a pretty tough fight.”
“All right.”
Jake stormed out without saying a word. I had been looking at the clone’s vision for a while.
What came into the clone’s eyes was a huge island rising up through the sea. No, it was a huge monster that looked like an island. A huge monster living in the deep sea of the distant sea was coming up to land.
Me, Jake, Argin, and Joseph are our strength for now. Even an ordinary knight would not be able to scratch that beast. Maybe we can repel that on our own, but if not, we have to think about it.
“I should call a friend.”
I started moving to call a very old friend through space teleportation. I found this friend about 2 years ago. It was too late to come into the sight of the alter egos roaming the continent because it was hidden so tightly.
It was a time when I was living alone for a while, but I was so glad that I went to see him without anyone knowing. When I revealed my identity, my friend was very happy to see me, and I drank alcohol from the Drakan’s Rare to relax. And often, without anyone knowing, he would go and work on a masterpiece and talk about the past.
He’s an old friend who has turned his back on the world, but if it’s something like this, he’ll definitely come to help.
Seeing me who suddenly appeared, my friend smiled broadly. He was a sturdy guy with a honam type that looked like he was middle-aged, but he was a friend anyway.
“You want another drink? I don’t like alcohol, but I really like the wine you bring.”
“Of course it would be nice, it’s a drink made by dragons, but more than that, help me”
“Is this enough to require my help?”
My friend was very surprised when I nodded.
“You wouldn’t need me, would you? Are you going to war against the entire continent?”
“No, I didn’t even call you for that.”
“Then you should help”
As soon as my friend nodded, I immediately took him and started moving.
