Chapter 489 – Narmer-Nile (2)
In order to reveal the background of the creation of the new marionette, it is necessary to go back about two months.
It was the day I arrived in Alwyn with the researchers.
The day I met the prince at the wizard guild, I bought a magic aptitude tester with the intention of checking our franc’s magic talent. Including the share of other wives.
And the problem happened that night.
****
“This is the aptitude tester.”
My wife and I gathered in the spare room of my father-in-law’s house, showed me a piece of paper that looked like litmus paper and said.
‘It looks a bit like the one who pees during a health checkup.’
It is divided into a total of 4 compartments, and inside there is something like a thinly pinned cotton swab core.
Is this the texture of papyrus when you touch it? It looks similar to the experience bar in the game.
Fran asked, turning the paper back and forth.
“Yes… Nor, how do you write this?”
“Hold the filter and blow mana into it. Then, a certain amount of mana will be converted into fire mana and burn the checker.”
One hundred words are unbelievable. I blew mana into my portion of the checker.
– Hwareuk!
When it was moderately blown in, the excess mana was scattered through the filter, and the small amount of mana was turned into flames.
The red flame stopped on the 3rd slot of the 4 slot checker.
—Hook. I extinguished it with my breath, like blowing out a candle.
“Ruler. Take a good look everyone. These compartments of the detector burn easily the closer they are to the filter, and the stronger they fall. In other words, how far you can burn this will reveal the aptitude of that attribute.”
“Huh. It means that the more you burn it to the end, the higher your aptitude for flame-type magic, right? Is my husband above average?”
“Esakta (correct answer)!”
It’s the same whether you put 10 mana into the checker or 100 mana.
The filter absorbs just 10 mana from the mana blown into it and produces sparks equal to the skill of the tester.
“Well… So, you’re a swordsman who asks ‘how strong a fire can be made using the same amount of mana’?”
“Right. It is said that the principle of the examination of other attributes is also broken.”
I opened the manual and said.
It is said that the standard for this checker is an object made by the Wizards Guild by collecting applicants.
In other words, Kang Buk-ho’s fire type talent is higher than the average of wizards. Hey, the Blood Magic Ball kicks in.
“I heard that there are few people who take level 4, and even level 3 is enough to make a living by majoring in that attribute. My dear wives, do you now understand the greatness of this lady?”
“My dear. My tester was burned to the core. Did you give mine away as a defective item?”
“Aha. That’s your talent.”
I bowed my head at the majesty of the Goddess who went beyond the 4th stage and even burned the wick that was put in so that it would not burn. Bad really
My jawline flew off right after I stretched out, so I sighed and unpacked the checkup kits for my wives from the bundle. That’s how my family entered the test amicably, just like taking the MBTI personality test.
“Aww.”
Fran let out a groan when the first tester he tried—it was a flame type—was not even halfway there.
This is inevitable because, in this world of bloodlines, there is a strong tendency for aptitude to be determined by one’s birth and environment.
I heard that dwarves mainly have aptitude for fire and earth.
However, Fran, who is a half-dwarf, does not have much talent for the flame attribute. No wonder she was frustrated.
“Don’t be disappointed. Magic isn’t something that can be solved in one fell swoop with talent alone, and the only aptitudes that can be known with this kind of test are basic elemental talents.”
I comforted her by stroking her fran’s back.
Don’t be discouraged. Wouldn’t it be more overbearing to try to find out all of one’s talents and prospects with just such a test?
“Let’s take it easy and do it. Here, the soil attribute checker.”
“… Yes.”
Fran took a deep breath, cheered her up, and continued her examination.
There are a total of 6 types of attribute checkers I bought.
Fire, water, ice, earth, wind, light.
It is a universal property, but just as psychology and psychiatry are separate, it is said that there are differences in various parts if you dig into it.
For example, ice and water often overlap, but diverge greatly in subdivisions.
‘Didn’t it be said that wizards who are talented with ice types often show talent with spatial properties?’
Not only space magic, but also the brain’s ability to perceive space, and magic that binds opponents.
‘It seemed strange, but it was an understandable reason.’
Isn’t the ‘cold air’ we’re talking about a kind of energy?
Cold air is a state in which there is no heat energy in a specific space. Just as Earth’s great invention air conditioner is a home appliance that removes heat from a house, ice-type magic is a technique that removes heat from space.
“The element is complicated. Even completely opposite attributes are intertwined.”
Veronica said as she picked up the checker.
“In particular, the two attributes of light and darkness have an influence on not a few elements. Hot flames, cold chills. While both are attributes that remind us of death, they are also essential to life.”
“I don’t sell anything like a dark attribute checker, and I have no intention of buying one.”
Kindergarten teachers say, “Wow! Your son seems to have a knack for terrorism and agitation!” As if it would be obvious if he praised it, the tester to check the talent of dark magic was not sold anywhere.
In this way, the aptitudes of the wives were revealed one by one.
First of all, Veronica’s mouth hurts.
It is evenly high with an exceptionally high flame and light at the center. The racial differences are clear.
“The light attribute came out high, but I didn’t see much fun in healing magic. Originally, the properties of fire, light, ice, and space are universal magical qualities of bicorns.”
“Even if they have the same attributes, they are divided into smaller categories. I understand, but… The ice properties are pretty low, right?”
“It’s not because space = ice. The spatial talent must be thanks to Shinma-nim.”
Is it? After all, it was a god who stamped some hooves into a
According to Veronica herself, if she had a different magic system like herself, it would be difficult to determine 100% of her actual skills with this swordsman.
He is too. Is it really just a personality test level of reliability?
Still, it will be an appropriate guideline for beginners like Frank.
“… It’s me, except for the soil attribute, but overall it’s low.”
“What. It is enough to find even one talent.”
In the end, the only thing that took the 3rd level was the earth attribute, and Fran dropped her shoulders in disappointment, but I think that’s enough.
In this day and age, digging just one well is considered an idiot, but there is no need to insert miscellaneous skill trees into Fran’s main strategy. Wouldn’t it be enough to add a few more types so that they don’t deviate from the frame?
Let’s ask Tirsi to lay the groundwork for us.
‘Because it’s normal for thieves to use magic in another world.’
Everyone who makes locks or cares about security uses magic right now, so why should a thief use only lockpicks to dismantle enchanted traps?
Perhaps all such rockpick fundamentalists were trapped in darkness or died in a trap in a dungeon.
“Hmmmm. Let’s go next, next.”
Next up is Dana.
What stands out is, of course, the light. And, surprisingly, water.
Since ‘Berbeia’, the origin of her surname, is the goddess of the river, is there anything unexpected?
However, the water attribute is also low compared to the light attribute, and although he has talent overall, he has no intention of becoming a wizard himself.
“Modern magic is too late to learn, and I pass the magic of my hometown because I don’t want to get a tattoo. You can have it or do better.”
“You are right.”
He is truly the epitome of Hill Tang.
Originally, if the healer cares about the attack, the game explodes. It is said that if you block it well and treat it well like now, it will serve more than one person.
“All that remains is… Is it just Ralilura?”
Me? My share was the first flame type checker.
I thought it was not worth digging a new well because my growth direction was all set.
It’s not a waste of money or ‘what if my talent is lagging behind compared to my wives?’ Don’t say anything
… So, the long-awaited final.
I picked up the checker and looked at Lari Lura, whose soul had passed out, and closed her eyes tightly. She looked like she wouldn’t make that kind of expression even if she was pregnant with fucking hexagrams.
Because you have more talent than Veronica? No.
Because of an unexpected aptitude like Dana’s water attribute talent? Wrong.
Uh… No. No If there was any surprise, it was there.
Fire, water, ice, earth, wind, light.
Attributes that are standard for talent in modern magic in another world.
All of the six attributes of Lalilura——were below average.
“… Senior? If it’s a joke, can you tell me now? If you want to see me crying, I would like to advise you that putting in effort during the proposal will contribute to a smooth relationship in the future.”
“Sorry. I didn’t expect it to be like this either.”
“Aren’t you being too sincere? What is it? Is this some kind of bullying? How can I get all six of them to go crazy like a ghost?! I feel some kind of malice in this prosecutor!! More than that, please don’t secretly slip away from the talent comparison evaluation alone, senior alone!!”
Lari Lura’s head jerked around and she started to walk away and began to push her examination device that she was carrying into her prosthetic arm. Startled, I pushed her face back.
“Hey! It’s expensive! It’s not oil paper, why rub it on someone else’s arm again!”
“It is senior mana who moves that prosthetic arm! If you rub it anyway, you will eat mana and the results will come out!”
Look at her head working so damn well. In a crisis situation, it’s fucking familiar that the head rotates at 3x the normal output.
“Priscilla, tuck! Hand! Sit down! Get down!”
“Arrrr! Woof woof!”
─Rumble bang!! I made a fuss by rolling over Lari Lura and her wife’s house as if to soothe an excited dog.
This shit. I’ve been preparing excuses so damn hard, but I can’t expose my talent like this!
“Kko, puppet! I’ll make you a new puppet! The other day I said I was thinking of a present for you! That was it! It is the only new product in the world made using mana metal!”
A marionette developed in Romania.
90% of the structure of the ‘golem controlled by the caster’ is made of wood. Normally, you can’t grant mana to metal, so the only thing you can do is to make the outside of iron and put a tree on the inside.
But what if it was reproduced with a complete metal, and with the technology of an ancient civilization that was actually used?
Even with the same core, the performance will be much improved than before.
“I’ll make it for you, so hold on! This prosthetic hand was a prototype made to gather data for your puppet!”
“… New puppet… Lingling’s upgrade?”
Larry Lura stopped her movements as if she had become a doll.
‘Did you get rid of Sval?’
No, don’t be vigilant, shake your mouth and make them come down.
Anyway, as Veronica said, only a small part of her magic talent can be known with this swordsman.
Wasn’t this guy also good at
“Ah, the expression you make when you lie all the time.”
“Det? You say that shows off?”
However, I, who was trying to coax him out with such a compliment, inadvertently touched my cheek at the thrown words.
“Also.”
And it wasn’t until she saw Lari Lura narrowing her eyes that she realized it.
Yem disease. Was it a guided interrogation?
“… Caught?”
“Do you think I can live a life of deceit?”
My.
I honestly thought so.
“Now, stay still! I can’t be the only one to go through this humiliation! As a former circus girl who lived off magic, I feel traumatized! Please share your frustration with me too! They are a couple!!!”
“Guwaaaaak!! Prepare your mind! Prepare your heart!”
No shit, tear water ghost operation Evande!
I couldn’t bear to push my precious wife over, so I was buried under the coercive Ralilura, and the mana that drives the silver prosthetic arm was buried in the ancient checker——
“… Uh?”
The earth attribute detector was charred and crumbled.
As if something had happened to the black ash spilled on her prosthetic arm, Rari Lura blinked her eyes, then her complexion brightened.
“Also! Look at this! Weird, right? It was only my checker that was defective!”
“No, Lalilura. I don’t think it’s like that.”
─Fallang. Fran, who was reading the manual, said.
“… ‘Precautions when using a soil property tester’.”
Fran frowned as she repeated the text on her page.
Her perplexity was evident in her furrowed eyebrows.
“‘Pure elemental mana works in conjunction and repulsion. As for the earth attribute, in particular, many elements show reciprocity, so the phenomenon below means that you have a great talent for that attribute’.”
Fran read her manual slowly.
If the tester dries up, fire.
Water if wet or melted.
Light when mold or microorganisms proliferate.
And another one.
“Finally, the case of discoloration to black is a talent related to black magic.”
─Hib.
Fran hiccuped in surprise and then muttered.
“If the above phenomenon occurs, please immediately find a nearby church or wizard guild… They say.”
The three of them, who were eating popcorn as they watched me being reverse-raped by Lalilura, fell silent.
“It turns black… What? It turned into powder… ?”
Lari Lura licked her lips as she looked at the black ash that left no trace of her.
The enormous talent that even affects the soil attribute checker is only ‘turning black’.
Then… How much talent does it take to have such an influence that even the skeleton of the examination machine is crumbled?
In the uncomfortable silence, I spoke after a long and long thought.
“Wow.”
Dear mother and father How are you?
Kang Buk-ho, the son of an immortal, seems to have discovered the talent of a super high school level terrorist in a different world aptitude test.
Somehow, the big bread guy from
