chapter 6
Going out without permission
Leon honed his magic to jump over the fortress wall, while sparing no effort to raise his basic level.
Leon had already reached a level where he could use 3 circle magic with only one circle, but in order to deal with the other magics of quantum magic in earnest, he needed more than 2 circles.
But it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
Because Leon has already formed a circle with the maximum efficiency that Leon can handle with the circle design formula of quantum magic.
In order to go beyond the current level and reach the 2nd circle, it was necessary to go beyond that limit.
Still, the 2nd circle is quite low.
How this is possible is because magic is a force that twists time and space.
One circle is the limit in the general space allowed for humans, 3D, but the story is different in 4D spacetime.
According to the general theory of relativity, gravity is a force that warps space-time.
And the material that mediates that gravity is graviton, that is, graviton, which is sub-mana.
Einstein concluded that gravity and inertial forces are essentially the same force.
In other words, the faster the rotational speed of the magic power inside the circle, the greater the inertial force and the same effect that the gravity becomes stronger.
As a result, when viewed from the outside, the speed of the circle remains accelerated, but the time of the mana is relatively slowed down and the frequency of the circle is lowered.
Gravity, that is, uncharged, was a possible phenomenon because it was a physical quantity that was not affected by time.
If so, you can add mana as much as the lowered frequency.
The principle of increasing the circle is that more circles are formed in the refraction of the space that occurs at this time to increase the amount of mana possessed.
Leon called this the fusion phenomenon.
The name was given because the thickness of the space seemed to increase by folding the space as if magic were folding paper when a three-dimensional space was assumed to be a two-dimensional plane.
As the name suggests, the cladding phenomenon was not able to fold the space indefinitely.
As paper is folded, the thickness eventually increases and there comes a moment when it can no longer be folded. If you continue to fold space, it will reach the critical point of space-time refraction, and the space itself will be torn like a piece of paper is torn.
okay.
As everyone knows, the black hole was the critical point.
So that critical point is the maximum that a wizard can reach.
‘According to my calculations, if you fold it seven times, you will reach the limit.’
It is said that the highest level of magic that humans can reach is also known as the 8th Circle?
Each time you fold the space, it rises by 1 circle, so if you fold it 7 times and get 8 circles, it is an accurate calculation.
One question was whether there were 9 circles in legend or 10 circles known as the realm of the gods.
“A legend must be just a legend.”
The 9th circle and the 10th circle, the urgent thing for Leon right now was the level of the 2nd circle.
In other words, to increase the circle as described above, the rotational speed of the mana must be increased.
The problem was that Leon’s circle, which was formed through thorough calculations, was rotating his magic power at the highest efficiency that his mental power could handle.
If you boost your mental power, you can temporarily increase the rotation speed of the circle, but then what is the magic power that will form the second circle?
You’re already spinning your head off, so where’s the mind to form a second circle?
“If it was easy to form a circle, everyone in the world would have been a wizard.”
In the end, the only way to increase the circle was by diligently increasing mental strength through steady practice.
Still, Leon was not disappointed.
Because Leon had a magical resonance that allowed him to steadily increase his mental power.
Even now, while keeping the attic warm with magical resonance, Leon’s mental power continued to grow.
Anyway, I didn’t see a shortcut to getting to the 2nd circle today.
Leon finished his meditation and ate the breakfast that Riel had prepared.
“delicious.”
The breakfast was delicious enough to bring tears to my eyes.
In fact, looking at it, there was nothing wrong with wearing it.
But why is it so delicious with a simple steamed potato, fried egg and a few slices of bacon?
When he was living as Lee Won-hyung, he went to a restaurant that had received three Michelin stars on the recommendation of an acquaintance, but the breakfast his mother made was unparalleled in taste.
Perhaps Leon at that time did not have enough time to enjoy the taste of food.
At that time, Leon was obsessed with learning magic again, falling into regrets that he would not have had to die like a beast after being abandoned by his family and thrown into the battlefield if he could learn magic on time. just because.
Thanks to that, the present Leon was able to create the science of quantum magic, but for Leon, his life as Lee Won-hyung was a period in which he ran out of breath without a break, as if escaping from an unforgettable past.
Riel looked at Leon like that with a sad smile.
From Riel’s point of view, Leon was a porridge who had been shredding oat flour for the rest of his life, but it was the first time he had encountered common people’s diets while eating.
Even though I was proud of how delicious it was, I was very sorry that I had not been able to take care of it properly until now.
“Is it so delicious? Would you like to share mine too?”
“no. Normally, it is delicious to eat together.”
In response to Leon’s answer, Riel smiled brightly as if he was right, and handed out the food.
“I feel full just looking at you eating deliciously.”
Leon looked at the fried eggs that were placed on Riel’s spoon from time to time, then opened his mouth wide and ate it.
Then he immediately scooped out his fried eggs and handed it to Riel.
“This is mutually beneficial. When I see my mother eating deliciously, I get full.”
“Huh huh.”
Riel laughed as if Leon was cute like that.Read at NovelNext.com
Just looking at that small smile made Leon’s heart flutter.
Riel happily accepted and ate the fried egg that Leon had given him, and his face flushed with embarrassment.
After eating like that, Leon came out of the attic and faced the wall.
Leon had not yet reached the 2nd circle, so there was no difference in the amount of magic power, but that did not mean that his magic ability was still the same.
The silent chanting is the ultimate in magic proficiency.
The magic spell, the chant, was a process for borrowing the power of God to reproduce the laws of nature that cannot be understood by human knowledge.
However, if you practice this magic repeatedly, you will master the movement of magic.
Even if you don’t cast a spell, you will have a knack for how to move your magic to activate magic.
As a result, the phenomenon that appeared was a silent window.
Being able to directly embody the power of God even if you don’t understand the magic principle.
Therefore, it can be said that the biggest advantage of the silent spear is the rapid deployment of magic due to the omission of the spell.
However, Leon’s silent chant was the opposite.
Without needing to borrow the power of God, Leon clearly understands the principles of magic with the power of modern science.
So no need for a young chant.
However, since he was not yet skilled at magic, it was necessary to acquire the process of imprinting the movement of magic on his body.
And Leon has been able to build up enough skills over the past few months.
‘Today, I will surpass you.’
Leon checked the pocket containing the magic stone, took a deep breath after capturing it in his arms.
And by strengthening his body with magical power, he ran and jumped as fast as he could.
At that moment, what is activated is the loot obtained by defeating the Silen.
“Wind Walker!”
Fuwaak!
The wind blowing from the soles of the shoes supported the feet as if they were stepping in the air, and when the soaring body lost its strength and reached its apex, Leon performed the magic he had cast in advance.
“Wind riding!”
Leon’s hovering technique is still not well developed, so his unbalanced body flips over.
But even so, it was strong enough to throw Leon’s body to a higher place.
Leon desperately began casting a new magic in the sense that the world was spinning.
If the magic is not properly deployed, Leon will fall to the ground as it is.
“Linforce!”
Reinforce.
That was the name of the newly named material structure strengthening magic.
At that moment, Leon’s body soaring into the sky was fixed in the air.
It feels like falling from the sky and drowning in the water.
And when I opened my eyes, there was a new world opened up.
‘ha.’
Before returning, Leon had only seen the world beyond the wall for only five years.
But the world I saw at that time was only a desolate place.
Because it was the battlefield where Leon was kicked out of the wall.
A city destroyed by a monster invasion.
Refugees begging for food with nothing to eat and nothing to wear.
A soldier who is looking for alcohol and a woman in the excitement of surviving today and the prostitutes who seduce them.
That was the sight of this world that Leon saw and remembered.
However, the scene unfolding in front of Leon right now was different from the ones he remembered, and it was a lively scene.
Leon was mesmerized by the beautiful sight, and stood on the wall and stared at it for a long time.
“Ouch. This is not the time to be like this.”
Leon looked down at the wall with a slightly trembling heart.
Now, he was both afraid and looking forward to the fact that he could become a part of that beautiful world just by jumping off of it.
Leon took a step toward the air and started a free fall, and was able to land without any injuries by deploying Linforce just before it collided with the ground.
And I moved to the place where the market I had seen before was located.
The cries of a lost child looking for their parents, the solicitation of a merchant calling for customers, and the smell of grilling meat on a charcoal fire tickle the tip of the nose with the chef’s fan, and the smell of snacks that tempt children with their colorful colors and sweet scent are mixed. there was.
“Does your mother like this snack?”
It was difficult for Leon to walk away from the smell of the grilled skewers, whether it was made with a sauce similar to soy sauce.
Leon soon remembered that in order to purchase this, he had to dispose of the Mana Stones.
Leon immediately started looking for the store.
Manastones have a wide variety of uses, so they are handled in many shops.
Forge, pharmacy, jeweler, magic tool shop, etc.
Among them, a jeweler would be the best place to deal with pure magic stones.
Originally, I thought about going to a magic tool shop and selling the artifacts stolen from Silen, but in fact, even though they were loot, there was a problem in dealing with them as they were ripped off during the battle.
If the fact that this item was being circulated outside was discovered, it was the same as getting caught that Leon went out and sold the item without permission.
As I was walking around the city, I found a jeweler hidden in a corner alley.
little girl.
When I opened the door and entered, an old gentleman with one-eyed glasses walked out and greeted Leon.
However, if the hospitality is to look up and down the customer and frown.
“How did you get here? kid.”
However, Leon did not care much about his treatment, and took out the jewel pouch from his arms and placed it on the counter.
“I’m here to sell these.”
At Leon’s words, the old gentleman who had been wiping the contents of the jewel bag stiffened for a moment, then took out the spectacle-like artifact from the pocket and started examining the manastone.
It was probably a magic tool with a function similar to a microscope, but when I looked closely, there was no lens.
Curiosity about the principle stimulated Leon.
Maybe it’s gravitational lensing?
In order to create gravity enough to refract light, an enormous amount of material would be required, but the elementary particles that make up the magic were graviton and inplaton.
A substance that mediates gravity and anti-gravity.
If it can be used to precisely refract light, it will be possible to create artifacts that function like a telescope or microscope with high magnification even with a thin object like glasses.
“Great.”
The old gentleman looked at all the magic stones and said.
“I’ll give you 1 gold with everything.”
Leon frowned at his words.
No matter how well Leon knew about the price of this world, it was too cheap to think of it as the price of mana stones.
That’s probably because Leon was paid 50 silver as a regular soldier when he was rolling on the battlefield.
It is calculated that 1 gold is 100 silver, 2 months’ worth of an ordinary soldier.
I don’t know if Leon was carrying F-grade manastones, but all the manastones lined up on the counter were orange, that is, E-class manastones.
After winning the match with Silen and moving up to 11th place, the family was given an E-grade manastone, and the E-class manastone that was in the Silen’s artifact was replaced with an F-class manastone and put out for disposal.
Above all, the attitude of the old gentleman who refused to make eye contact with Leon was very suspicious.
Only then did Leon understand the situation.
An 8-year-old kid found a jeweler.
An alley beggar who calls him a big brother.
Expensive manastones that do not suit such a look.
“Did you think this was a stolen property?”
The jeweler’s owner thought that Leon was a local beggar who had stolen the gemstones by pickpocketing.
“Hmmm. Otherwise, where would a kid like you get these things?”
Leon smirked as it was absurd.
I understand why the jeweler’s owner made a mistake, but it was difficult to figure out how to resolve this misunderstanding.
Leon thought for a moment before asking.
“By the way, do you have a knack for magic if you want to set up a jeweler?”
“yes? Isn’t that natural?”
The jeweler looked like he was asking such a useless question, but was surprised to see the fireball rising over Leon’s palm.
“Huh! Is that a fireball…?”
The jeweler’s head, who confirmed it, turned quickly.
The opponent appears to be as young as 8 years old.
At that age, it was absurd, at least in his common sense, to develop 3 circle fire magic.
Even if there was a place where such a thing was possible, it would have been the noble son of the 4th generation of magicians who were the best in the Philo Kingdom.
“Were you the mastermind who came out of the mage family? I, I am guilty of death!”
The jeweler’s owner fell flat on the floor to see if the situation was finally over, trembling, but Leon had no intention of making it big.
Leon said, clenching his fists and scattering the fireballs.
“It is not stolen, so rest assured. You just have to hit the right value.”
“Yeah, that’s a natural thing to say.”
The jeweler’s owner was respectful towards Leon at that time and raised the right price.
8 E-grade manastones, including the manastones stolen from Silen.
It seems that it was also crafted by a fairly famous craftsman, and the price per manastone was 1 gold and 30 silver, that is, the total price was 10 gold and 40 silver.
I didn’t know that the price would have been slashed 10 times, so when Leon looked at it with distasteful eyes, the jeweler’s owner was stunned and didn’t know what to do.
Leon looked at it, and was able to realize that if people looked down on him again, it would be the end.
