Chapter 305 – 72. Lecture 10. (One)
Allen’s Magical General Store, which has started reopening.
Now that Elena, the spout wizard, and Elizabeth, the follower of interest, have all left, the head of the magic workshop is the Prophet Alloa.
Apparently, the grocery store had been closed for a while and then reopened, so things sold like hot cakes. If you exaggerate it a little, it will sell right away as soon as it is put on the showcase. Saying I can’t sell because I don’t have real stuff means exactly this.
Still, if you work closely in the morning, thanks to the afternoon, the Prophet was able to focus closely on his magic studies again. Coincidentally, the magic lecture has also been postponed indefinitely…
… I can do it… !
Since there are two people who opened the door in the same workshop, she is also quite a challenge. In addition, thanks to the protection of the World Tree, his body became very strong, and he now gained stamina that he could not get tired of studying for a long time.
So, the Prophet devotes himself to magic without a break every day! Occasionally, when there was a blockage, I went to Mr. Granzo. Indeed, the eyes of those who have awakened mana are different.
“Don’t get too hung up on one thing. Study other specialties in your spare time. It is to broaden the frame of mind. The power of a wizard is, after all, tolerance.”
“Then, what other skills would you like?”
“It doesn’t matter what you do. Do what you like.”
A prophet who could look into other people’s lives, he liked ancient magic like riddles. In particular, restoring lost ancient magic was so interesting.
So she asked Granzo Danju to open the door to the secret library and brought out several books related to ancient magic.
“It’s good to try. Instead, anything that looks dangerous must be inspected by me first. Understand? Promise me.”
“Okay, uncle. How could I be so immature!”
From then on, Alloa studied the ancient texts whenever she had time.
Certainly, there were many unusual things about the source of magic hundreds of years ago. The things that have been handed down until now are probably filtered and changed again.
While studying ancient magic like that, she thought of what it would be like to organize the stems of magic that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day. Then you will be able to understand the magical transformation process much more intuitively.
So, the clean-up work began in earnest.
Of course, it was usually not difficult to organize the flow of magic change individually. However, as she sorted it out, her understanding of magic grew faster than she could have imagined.
What she paid attention to while organizing the work was the reason for the change.
The main reason was efficiency, but there was also occasional convenience or loss.
At the same time, she seriously thought about the direction her magic should pursue.
Where did her magic come from, and where should she go?
As her understanding of mana deepened, her perspective gradually opened.
It was not the eyes of the body, but the eyes of the mind.
Mana flow.
Mana was flowing like water.
It has been going on since the beginning of time, it is going on now, and it was going to continue until the end of the world.
In that long flow, she, and this continent, exist moment by moment,
From the past to the present, and from the present to the future, it was flowing along with mana.
Ah.
Only then did Alloa realize her innate ability.
It is to be able to entrust her own soul into the flow of her mana.
She was able to do that from birth, and that’s why she was able to get a glimpse of people’s lives.
She also realized how wildly this world was swirling every moment in a huge flow of mana.
The reason why her body was weak was because her soul was not centered and instinctively continued to be swept away by the flow of mana and was worn away…
And the warm mana of the World Tree was comforting her soul, which had been hurt countless times by the strong flow.
Like a cozy nest in a storm.
Ah.
Benevolent world.
Mother of all living things.
Alloa could now enter or exit the stream on her own.
She broke the shell of an imperfect wanderer and finally transformed into a true prophet.
One step.
Two steps.
Not just being swept away, but a wall of mana breaking through with her own will.
Like that, time passes.
The wall got harder with each step.
At the same time, it had an increasingly strong influence on her soul.
The world tree’s benevolent mana also faded, but she did not stop her steps.
As far as she can go of her own will… !
The clear world became increasingly cloudy. The time allowed to her was getting shorter and shorter.
… And, finally, what we see… !
It was a huge flying creature.
With each flap of its huge pair of wings, a powerful wind roars.
The monster spread its snout toward the ground.
… And manabim that splits the earth.
ㅡ!
With her mighty shock crashing into her soul, Alloa awoke with an evil scream.
The warm sunlight was pouring down on the skin dripping with cold sweat.
The gigantic and terrible monster floating in the sky had completely disappeared, and the snow-chilling blue sky and pure white clouds were floating peacefully.
The world tree’s mana wrapped around her body again.
It was her mother’s hand, lovingly comforting her on her long journey.
The first prophecy made by oneself.
However, she couldn’t be more happy when she witnessed the terrifying disaster of the past again.
… In the not-too-distant future, it will appear on this land.
· · ·
The floating ship, the World Guardian, circled around the southern area and returned to the Arwen Mountains. Now it’s time to return to the hideout.
It crossed the deep and deep Arwen Mountains at once and arrived safely at the fortress. It took about a month and a half to return from a tour of the entire South. If she had used the land route, it would have taken five or six months at the earliest.
The World Guard, which crossed over to the central region, flew straight toward Vermandois. Seeing the familiar landscape and city, she was excited that the crew were almost home. … And after a while, a floating ship arrived at the mercenary city!
Still, since the Vermandois hadn’t been operated in the last few months, people watched the floating ship they hadn’t seen in a while in place. And that is, a signal to announce the return of Allen Danju, who left for the South.
The floating ship landed at the station boasting a much smoother flight than a few months ago. As soon as the Allens disembarked, they immediately returned to the hideout.
The remaining members of the hideout welcomed the safe return of their comrades.
Allen dismissed her, promising ample rest and compensation to her crew. The next thing to do is to rush to her office and check on her current financial situation.
After all, the assets consumed during the creation of the floating ship were enormous, so I was a little worried that mismanagement might lead to greater losses.
Fortunately, the skilful Callis Mann managed her business without any financial crisis while Allen was away.
While Allen was taking over her takeover, he heard a lot of news.
Among them, the news that made the continent the most upbeat is the announcement of the retirement of the monster Riga, the top 10 in the north.
It seems that he, who had been eager to retire sooner or later, gave up his place in the round of 10 in the end.
Because of that, the current top 10 seats, not only the sword emperor Magnus, but also the monster Raiga’s, are both empty at the same time.
Also, I heard that the round of 10 decision meeting, which had been postponed indefinitely due to the chaotic situation in the capital, would resume soon.
Since there are two vacant places in the round of 10, it is easy to predict that the heat of the competition will be intense.
After thinking about it for a while, Allen called the lucky man, Rick Danzoo, into the office.
“Yes, my lord. Did you call?”
“I have something urgent to say to you.”
“Tell me.”
The money ghost paused for a moment, stared at the lucky man, and asked cautiously.
“You… , Are you interested in a spot in the top 10?”
ㅡ!
Rick, a lucky man, woke up in surprise at the word “Rang of 10”.
“… Yes?”
“A place in the top 10. I heard that Raiga Danju eventually retired. Then, until Magnus Danju, the two seats are now empty… , I will push you to the candidacy, if you wish.”
Ah.
Even Rick, a lucky man who couldn’t budge from anything, was speechless at Allen’s unexpected words.
I hadn’t even heard of a case in which the top 10 Danju recommended my coalition as a top 10 candidate. Usually I just think about pampering.
“You have helped me a lot in the meantime. Now then, it’s time for me to repay you.”
“… Ah, that, to be honest, it was a bit sudden…”
Then Allen grinned.
“You didn’t think I would keep you for the rest of your life, did you? I’m not that careless I know best what you’ve been through all this time.”
The lucky ones who can’t hide their smiles.
“You are qualified enough. Good personality, good skills, then the top 10, what would be the top 10? I, the money demon Allen, vouches for it.”
“… Really, are you okay?”
“What?”
“This… , Isn’t that common?”
Money ghost Allen laughed lightly.
“It’s not worth it. Because you are a great person However, I think it’s okay to be a comrade on an equal footing with you. Just because you reach the top 10, I don’t think our strong relationship will collapse. As you can tell by looking at me and Granzo Danju.”
Allen placed her chin on her desk with her hands together.
“If you want, try it. 10 River.”
Rick, the lucky one, bowed her head deeply towards Allen with a look of her thrill.
For a mercenary, 10 rivers is an eternal longing and a lifetime dream!
“Thank you. Thank you!”
“Thank you. You did it yourself.”
The lucky woman thanked her several times and left her office to cheer.
And a sigh of voice.
– Noob.
It’s okay to be stupid. If only it could be 10… !
… It seemed unlikely that Rick would be freed from Allen.
