Chapter 19 – Practice
*
“Thank you for saving the village!”
“Go carefully! Adventurers!”
“Next time you come to play, I’ll feed you until your stomach explodes!”
Villagers waved their hands early in the morning. Lina and her party shook hands from the wagon.
Kerry nodded her head. After all, people have to live kindly.
There are quite a lot of good memories in this town. I made a lot of money, and most of all, last night with Ellie was amazing.
“Adventurer brother!”
At that moment, a booming voice was heard in the village. It was the voice of a village youth.
“Last night was amazing! Come back next time!”
“Hey! Yesterday was really envious!”
It was last night Of course, last night was awesome for me. But it had nothing to do with young people.
When I couldn’t understand it, I remembered Ellie’s moaning tremendously last night.
Only then did I understand the playful expressions of the village youth.
‘Has it already been rumored?’
Well, Ellie’s moaning was so great that even rumors wouldn’t make it strange.
“Last night was amazing. What do you mean? West.”
Natasha asked with her innocent face.
“…Last night, young men suddenly came to our room and we played together. I guess that was good.”
Lina nodded as if she understood.
“Because Kerry is a hero who saved the holy water in the village. Even a small thing with Kerry must have been a big deal to the young people in the village.”
What are you saying with a serious nod? We regressors are also quite naive.
Lina continued her serious face.
“It’s quite a long way to the next village. You should be prepared for homelessness.”
Does not matter. For us regressors, we follow wherever we go. It must be a blessed land flowing with honey and milk.
There has never been a better time in my life in this world than before. Long live the regressor! Hurray!
Lina explained her rough schedule and then shut her mouth again.
In the carriage, her old woman was dozing, and all I could hear was Natasha talking to me.
Lina seemed to enjoy looking out of her window. See it very often When she wasn’t talking, it was okay to say that she only looked out the window.
What the hell are you thinking? Right now, Lina had only one thought in her head.
‘Victoria…I’ll protect you.’
The green trees outside the window pass by. But her Lina’s eyes were only reflecting the memories of her previous life.
*
It’s been several days since she left town. As Lina said, it was quite a long way.
She thought that riding in a carriage would make her feel as comfortable as flying, but she wasn’t even that.
In the first place, even if you ride a car this much in Hyundai, you will get tired. How much more tired the wagon must be running on a rough dirt road.
However, even in the midst of her fatigue, she did not forget her practice in her spare time. The breathing method taught by the White Witch to build her mana in her body was always good for training.
Of course, I didn’t do it around Lina and Natasha. No matter how much they were warriors, they didn’t know if they would get caught.
She mainly practiced building mana while she was alone.
‘A man’s romance! Am I finally able to use magic, the romance of another world?’
As I had a lot of spare time on this trip, the results of my training were gradually developing.
Mana, which felt as small as millet, now grew to the size of a peanut. I’m excited about this
I think I will have to visit the White Witch soon and talk about Jindo.
“Kerry. It’s time to leave.”
While secretly training, Lina approached. Lina was pretty today too. She looked prettier if she had simply washed her face at a nearby creek.
As she got into the carriage and started running, Lina opened her mouth as if she had something to say.
“About the things you’ve been worried about before…”
“Yes. Please tell me, Lina-sama.”
“Remember what I told you about the White Witch before?”
“I remember.”
“I told you that the goal of the skeleton and the pig was to revive the White Witch. I knew that, too, so I looked for them. When I first met them, they obviously stopped the White Witch from resurrecting… But I don’t think they gave up on the White Witch’s resurrection. I did.”
“So what?”
“But when I met them this time, they said something incomprehensible. I shouted for the marble.”
“Seobang-nim! I heard that too. I was very angry when they asked for beads.”
“Yes. To the extent that Nassen didn’t back down until he collapsed.”
“It happened while I was gone.”
“So I don’t think we need to worry about crossing paths with them like Kerry-sama is worried about. They will definitely come to where we are.”
It happened while I was gone.
“They think we have the orb, and they know we found the directive.”
It was definitely Victoria’s assassination order. Although only Lina knows who Victoria is.
I can understand Lina’s confidence in her to some extent.
What I’m worried about is making human sacrifices while they’re out of sight, but I can’t stop them from not knowing where they are.
Said Natasha, twisting her hair.
“But we don’t have the marbles. They don’t have them either. So where did the marbles go?”
It’s a conversation topic that makes my conscience hurt a little.
“Okay, but don’t worry too much. Even if someone who doesn’t know what to do finds it, it will look like an ordinary marble.”
Sorry for not knowing how to use it. It’s Lina Suddenly Lina wondered why she was so wary of her White Witch.
From my actual experience, the White Witch didn’t seem like such a bad bitch.
Of course, she also had a strange temper and tried to rape me, but I was able to understand that with a generous heart like the sea.
“Lina-sama seems to be very wary of the White Witch, but is the White Witch’s resurrection really dangerous?”
Lina nodded her head slightly.
“She’s a legendary archmage… I’ve heard she has a very ferocious temper. She can tell by the sacrifices of the people in her legend.”
In fact, the legend is an old story, so it didn’t touch me that much.
Kerry almost burst out laughing when she thought of the white witch pouting and crying in her bed.
Lina started to open her mouth again, perhaps sensing that I wasn’t taking it too seriously.
“This is the information I obtained while investigating the White Witch…”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“The reason why the White Witch is scary is because of her great magic skills of her… But also because of her followers of her.”
“Are you a follower?”
The White Witch also spoke of her followers. They said that you can become a follower if you take the seal of the soul.
“It is said that her followers did not even risk their lives for the White Witch.
And the scariest thing of all… All of his followers were her wizards who could use magic.”
Wizards are extremely advanced personnel. It’s not that common, but all of your followers are wizards?
“I heard that with the marbles Kerry had, followers who were ordinary people could use magic.
Of course, they couldn’t be called perfect wizards… But they said that the white army, which could use magic one by one, was an enormous threat.”
Rina is talking about what she saw in her previous life of hers. I feel that way.
‘Did the followers learn from the white witch through quick tutoring like me?’
Wait, this is something strange. In the attribute tutoring I heard from the White Witch, ordinary people cannot use magic even if they have marbles.
You need to be able to handle the minimum amount of mana to be able to use it. Is Lina misunderstanding something?
Or could it be that the White Witch is haunting me? I had to check right away.
*
It was that night. Kerry was able to go to the White Witch only after leaving Natasha who said she would sleep with her.
“It’s been a while. It seems like you’ve had a lot of work in the meantime, right?”
“…”
The white witch speaks with a calm face as usual.
Okay. First you need to hear the story. I am not a savage from another world who attacks without hesitation.
Until the gender equalityist within is awakened.
“Witch. I want to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“Somehow… I heard about the witch’s followers.”
“When the original woman asked again, didn’t you say you didn’t know much about followers and history?”
“I heard that by chance. That’s not what’s important. I heard… I heard that if you become a follower of the White Witch, even ordinary people, not wizards, can use magic.”
“…”
“It’s a magic that even ordinary people can use… Please explain in detail why I’m going through hardships right now, according to the 5-W rules.
Please be as detailed as possible. Right now, the monster called a gender equalityist is on the verge of awakening in me.”
The White Witch must have felt my anger, and her pupils began to shake and panic.
“How did you hear a story that is more than a hundred or a hundred years old? More than that, it’s all a misunderstanding!”
“So please tell me what the misunderstanding is. I want to believe in the witch. Please make me believe.”
“What the original woman taught her followers her was not magic! It just allowed them to imitate magic.
Didn’t you ask me to teach you magic? That’s just the difference. Jin, calm down and loosen your fists…Don’t let the gender equality monster inside you wake up!”
“Whoa.”
Is the white witch an idiot? Are you a genius?
Even a genius might turn into a fool if he was confined in a white room for a hundred years.
“White Witch. Didn’t I tell you… I have no intention of becoming a great wizard.
Just a petit bourgeois who wants to use magic. I also make a living through magic.”
“You mean you have that kind of talent… But you’re not greedy for the truth and achievement… It’s a waste of talent.”
“Even if it’s a waste, it’s my talent. How I use it is up to me.
So. Now, even if you’re not a wizard, teach me how to use magic. Just like I taught my followers…”
“…Think again. Isn’t your talent really worth it?”
Kerry clenched her fists, and the White Witch quickly canceled her words. I mean, it’s just a display of power.
“So what’s the secret to using magic even for an outsider who doesn’t know the alternative magic?”
The White Witch sighed heavily and began to explain.
“It is as you said. The talent to learn magic is very precious.
Even if you have that talent, it takes a very long time to learn, so a wizard is a high-class manpower.
However, all of her followers were able to use magic.”
Okay. That was weird Even I, who is said to be very talented, is having such a hard time learning, but followers made up of only wizards.
Something was unnatural.
“The reasons are complex, but there are two main ones. The first is the seal of the original woman’s soul, so even those without talent can feel mana.
The second is because there were marbles.
But there were also people with such lowly talents that they couldn’t help even if they helped them this much.
They are also followers of the original woman, but…”
“…Speak briefly and only the essentials.”
“It means that he pre-charged the magic storage beads with mana so that he could use magic.”
There is one reason Kerry can’t use magic even though she has magic storage beads.
There is not enough mana in the body to use magic. However, it is said that the mana can also be accumulated in marbles.
“No. Then, wouldn’t it have been nice if I had taught you how to accumulate mana in marbles earlier?
Are you still dissatisfied with me? Is it because I hit the stomach?”
The White Witch was started and answered.
“Oh, it’s not like that! Didn’t you ask me to teach you magic?
That’s why the original woman did her best to teach the way.
If you stick to the easy path in the first place, your skills won’t improve. That is the risk of this method.”
“…”
Knowing the philosophy of the White Witch’s magic, I decided to believe that there was no malice.
“So you’re saying you can use magic just by charging the marble with mana?”
“It is true. And of course you’d expect it… But if you consume the charged mana, you won’t be able to use magic.”
“How many times can I use it on a single charge?”
“It depends on the grade of the beads. With the lowest grade orb you have…You can only do it once. After you use it once, you have to charge it again.”
“…”
It didn’t matter. A dream that could not be reached in another world was magic. It was meaningful to be able to use it even once.
‘I’ll continue my training…Someday I’ll be able to use magic without beads.’
“For now, I am satisfied with that. Now, please charge the marbles!”
“…The original woman is not in a state where she can handle mana.”
“Always not helpful when it matters.”
“…You’re talking too much.”
The White Witch began to teach Kerry how to charge the orb.
