Chapter 433 (1/2)

420 Part 2

Races like wizards and sorcerers could absorb Ether from the atmosphere by breathing it in. It was then transformed into Mana in their bodies.

Mana in the body would be used up when utilizing magic. However, by absorbing and transforming Ether from the atmosphere, Mana could be recovered over time.

This Mana could take various energy forms and be manipulated, depending on the will and image of the user. And hence, it was called magic.

Chanting an incantation could support forming a clear image in the user’s mind. However, chanting became unnecessary if the user could create a clear image in the mind.

Simple phenomena such as fire, light, and wind were classified as beginner magic that could be easily utilized by anyone who could use magic.

The process up to activation became complicated for intermediate to advanced magic. Therefore, it could not be utilized by just anyone.

The process for activating intermediate to advanced magic would be similar to computer software.

Magi Engineering could be compared to high-end 3D model production software.

The place where this software was installed became the “library” of the “world where magic exists”.

Magical talent would be someone’s ability to access that library.

Jin had almost unlimited access to the Magi Engineering library.

On the other hand, the attack magic library was almost inaccessible.

Such magic theory had been forgotten for over 300 years. The Magi War was a significant incident that changed the world.

“How long will you be here, Your Highness?”

“Here” was referring to the Shouro Empire.

“Well, I’m planning to stay until the end of this month at most. I’ll have to leave this house in a little bit, too. I want some free time.”

Since he was the prince, Prince Ernest grumbled when he had no free time.

“Prince Ernest, I feel the same way, too ….”

Both the prince and princess looked at one another and smiled bitterly.

Due to the unexpected event in the morning, Jin, Elsa, Mine, Reinhardt, and Berthie finally headed for the Marquess’ residence after lunch.

Reiko, Edgar, Neon, and Noir were dressed as usual, but Lisa was wearing a hooded coat so to conceal her appearance.

Again, Noir rode a golem horse, and Reiko sat on Jin’s lap. After all, the carriage was overloaded, so it could not be helped.

It was approximately a 50-km journey between Banne and Mahahama. An ordinary carriage would take a day for the one way trip, but Jin’s carriage could reach their destination in less than an hour.

However, due to other carriages on the road, they could not maintain a speed of 50 kmph. In the end, it took them an hour and a half to get there.

The Marquess’ residence was built in a quiet environment surrounded by forests. An old-fashioned three-story building made of stones. On the left and right were spires proudly protruding.

“Hi, Jin, Reinhardt, Berthie, Elsa, and Mine. Long time no see.”

Many servants lined up by the front entrance to the Marquess’ residence to welcome them. Saki was there to greet them as well. She was dressed like a daughter of the Marquess. She was even wearing hair accessories.
