22 CHAPTER XXI -- Become a disciple




 The carriage will be the one Ral provided, and we've already left Weminia.

 Rall will handle the horses.
 Kurt and I were sitting in the back talking about magic.

"A wise man can get the 'no chanting' skill if he's trained, but how does Revel use it?

 Kurt likes to talk about magic.
 It's just that God says it can 'satisfy your inquiry into magic'.

"You got enough magical theory to build magic from scratch, and before you know it, you've acquired the Unchained.

 In my case, the conditions for obtaining it are clear, so it's easy to understand.
 Come to think of it, aside from magic theory, I also needed to learn basic skills such as "magic control" and "magic circulation".
 Well, I'm sure Kurt has this much too.

...... That's an interesting story. Can you tell me the rest of the story?

Hmm? You can find out about magic theory to some extent if you scour the literature, right?

 I was actually able to look it up in the Wisdom.
 As the son of a lord, Kurt has been studying magic for a long time and must have read a lot of grimoires.

''Yeah. There are plenty of ordinary magic theories that can be found by searching through the literature. But there's a clear difference between what Revell knows and what I know.

The difference?




'No matter how I apply what I know of magical theory, you can't build magic from scratch.




Go to ......?


 Can't we build magic from scratch?
 Can you call that a magical theory?

 It is no exaggeration to say that the basis of magic is "magic manipulation".
 Based on this premise, magic is made up of various factors such as images and magic wavelengths.

The knowledge of magic that you know is very similar to the characteristics of ancient magic.

 All I know is that ancient magic is a magical technology that has been lost.
 But I don't believe that wisdom could possibly know about this lost magic... .......


 Or maybe it's possible for Wisdom to do so.



 You can find it here: ──────────────────── ...

 "Wisdom" skill
 Arbitrary information is available to you as knowledge. However, confidential information is not allowed.

 ──────────────────── ...


 The information that Wisdom has access to is not locked away.

 Lost information can be retrieved through Wisdom: ......?

 But if that's the case, it would explain the strange feeling I was feeling.

 I had met and talked with Kate who had the gift of [wizard] in the inn town of Leaasil.
 Kate's abilities and knowledge were quite different from the normal wizards I knew from my information.
 The reason for this is easy to explain if the information I know is ancient.


...... I see. That may indeed be true.

 I thought for a moment before replying to Kurt.

If so, you could be the most powerful wizard even beyond the wise men. ...... That's what ancient magic is all about.

I'm glad to hear it.

 Because I want to be the best in the world.
 So you could be.
 You can be.
 The best in the world.


Revell, take me on as your apprentice!

So, apprentice?

 My voice trailed off a little, startled by the suddenness of the situation.

"Modern magic has its limitations. That's why I want you to share your knowledge of revelation!

Well, okay, but ......

'Really? Thanks, Revell!


 I didn't even know what it was before I got my apprentice.





 I don't know.




 At dusk we stopped the wagon and started preparing for the camp.

 ...... It seems that Lal and Kurt really don't get along.
 The air is vaguely bad for some reason.
 We'll try to get them to get along somehow.

 ...... But how are they going to get along?

 Hmmm, I pondered.

"Kyu, what do you think can be done to help Ral and Kurt get along?

 After much deliberation... we finally decided to talk.
 We talked with Kyu, the baby dragon.
 Maybe we'll get some fresh ideas that you wouldn't think of from a human's perspective.

Fight!

"You're going to let ...... fight?

"Kyu, I think we're being beaten!

'...... No, I think that might be a good idea,'

 I don't know what is wrong with you two in the first place.
 It's a conversation that counts.
 Having a nice meal and telling each other our feelings.
 I don't want this to escalate into a fight, but maybe it's just a misunderstanding that led to a disagreement.

 Yeah, that's a good idea.
 The atmosphere won't get any worse.



"Yes! Fight!

I'm sorry. No more fights.

"What? Kenkaa: ......

 Unfortunately, Kyu's wing snapped off.




"I'm gonna go get some food. Can Kurt stay here to make sure Ral doesn't get attacked by a demon?

In that case, I'll go get some food.

I'd appreciate it if you could do the same.

 I knew they were both against it.

''I have the skill of the Item Box, so it'll come in handy for gathering food.

'Oh, that's right: ......'

 It's best to give the two of you as much time as you can to talk.
 You can't get any closer than this: ...... right?

Revell even has the skills for the Item Box? You're the man. Unfortunately, it looks like Revell is more qualified than me.

What's a shame?

 Lal smiled and asked Kurt, but it didn't look like he was smiling to me.

'I meant it just the way it is,'

Yeah. I'm certainly sorry to hear that.


 ...... Are you sure they can't get any closer?


"Come on, come on!

"Kyu will be staying at home.

"What? Sampo: ......

'Will you try to get those two to get along?

"Love.

 Kyu was such a good kid.

Sorry, man. It's all yours.


 Now I've got to cook something special that'll make them both smile.

 Good food needs good ingredients to make it good.

 The demon species that live around here change too.
 Now would be a good time to test that magic.
