Chapter 87
Ultrwide area ic Cursed Sword of Fire aside, I decided to start with the confir our future task
If so could be ruined
Fro any mistakes
“First off, HaroldIs it alright with you?”
“……What is it?”
I asked Harold who replied after staring at me carefully
“Substances created fro by alchemy materialize only for a short time in this world
Can this be applied to our current situation as well?”
“Aa, preciousmasses, are about five minutes at most”
“Five minutesSo it’s five minutes after all”
“Lava is about five minutes, but the flaer time and will cause a vicious calamity”
“RightI understand”
That was good
I felt relieved after hearing Harold’s answer
If this was the case, I would be able to do it in the way I planned
Next, I asked Tirnanog
“Then, when do you think that Cursed Sword of Fire will fall?”
『It is such a huge ical construction spell, but the composition speed is fast
Based on the description of the literature, that’s right……it will be around forty minutes from now to its completion』
It would be difficult to evacuate the citizens with that time
Even if they escaped froht in the fall zone of another cursed sword
So that was the reason Tirnanog unusually hesitated to say it, huh
“……Inow!”
Harold hounded me with a frustrated appearance
Alright, I felt glad that he seery
Harold was going to have plenty of works froic condition
“Harold, you, no, we ht be able to save this town”
“……What……do you mean?”
“That Cursed Sword of Fire cannot be touched, dismantled or dispelled, but there is one way”
“W-what is itDon’t put on airs, just say it quickly!”
Harold as ied me
Auguste and Tirnanog were gazing atfor my words
“We cannot prevent the completion of the cursed swords, but we can prevent the finished cursed swords froic”
“That’s absurd! In order to deploy a city-wide area es
Such a great nuet them from!”
“What if I say that the three of us……h?”
Harold becaotten his words
Auguste and Tirnanog were staring atas if they were taken aback
“Harold, you will have to donow
The spell that you need to charge is LevitationThe nues is 990 times”
Harold’s facial expression changed slowly from astonishment to calm
It seemed that his technician brain was stimulated
I saw Harold’s change and my mouth formed a smile
“Can you do it?”
“……I canI will do itI have never made it, but I know the composition of that spell
But, by Levitation, what do you……ah!”
Harold’s eyes widened
It seeic and wands froe already understood
“I see, the duration of lava’s materialization time is five minutes, and the effect time of the normal Levitation is about the same
Levitation is also characterized by a rise in efficiency as its amplification increases
If we extend the range of the effect with Wand Alteration and wrap it around……!!”
“CorrectAs it will need to be used 60 times per cursed sword, ill need 990 for all 15 cursed swords”
『I see, that’s a unique way to extend the power of a ithout limit』
“Extension……it’s like the signature ood idea”
Tirnanog and Auguste also nodded
But actually this alone was not enough
And it was Harold as the first to notice it
“Wait……how are you going to ai to 15 places, and around the entire Knot Reed no less
It’s iular way, so ht……no, that’s useless
I don’t have tie quantities”
“That’s e need another person”
I nodded slowly, and gazed at Auguste
“I see, ai……that’s my role, huh”
“I’m saved since this conversation will be quickOf course you will participate in this plan”
“You don’t even consider that I will refuse, huhThat’s fineI will place my bet on you”
I sy
We were ready now
From here on, we only had to believe in Harold
“Then, I will ic
When the on with you”
Auguste said so and stared at the sky
I took out a wand froht for me
The Wand of Levitation already had 100 charges in it
I held the wand and presented it to Harold
“I think you can do it, no, you are the only one who can do it, hey, partnerIsn’t that right?”
“……What the heck, that kind of crude trust as if leaving it all to me”
Haah~~, Harold exhaled a long sigh, looking at me with serious eyes
“But, I will not let you down”
Harold’s eyes becahtly moist with tears
He wiped them so as to conceal it, then he accepted the wand
Harold squatted down on the stone floor of the tower and spread his work tools
“Let’s get started with my work!”
Harold rolled his sleeves up and wore his black leather gloves
He put on his goggles with a s touch
“If we charge 1000 shots on a wand that originally contains only 100 shots, the burden on the ill be more than ten folds
First of all, let’s release all the ical powers compression format from scratch”
Harold loosened the ferrule and airound
He confirmed that everyone except himself had took a distance froed inside the wand
A strong flash of light like a camera’s flash
The round
“Uh!”
A runaway ht cheek
From the wound where the pale spark hit, fresh blood dripped down
“Harold, are you okay?”
“Haha, that helped shorten the ti”
As Harold ured the ith precise movements like a machine
“Heeh, this is……”
『What’s wrong, Harold』
“Well, to think that I can see the wonderful work of Visitor’s Clan in a place like this”
『You…… unexpectedly, it see like that』
As Tirnanog said so in a his teeth
“It’s because I rarely tinker with such an a wand
Both durability and precision are different from ready-made items
But, as expected, ten times asa wand that hadn’t been taken into consideration whenthis wand
I will also take the other wands apartI have to use everything usable in our arsenal”
As he said earlier, Harold began to take apart the Wand of Leap and Feather Falling
He broke one third of Griffin’s bone of Feather Falling wand and cut it into a hook shape
Scraped off the wyvern bone from Levitation wand lued theaps
Next he took out vellum papers and cut them into thin bands
“I’-Armed Ernst’s wands are carved with old poetries of Visitor’s Clan, right?
I don’t remember the poetry of Visitor’s Clan, but the poems of my hometown are supposed to have the same effect”
Soaked a pen in a special ink mixed with several kinds of chemicals
Wrote the poetry on vellulue, and wrapped it around the shaft
Certainly, this was quicker than engraving it
Returned the amber on the wand head and yellow brass on the handle of the assembled wand
Using the sa corethe shaft
Finally, he sealed the ferrule with netite which was used for the wand head of Leap
“It has becouaranteedI will only have to believe and charge this guy, after that it’s a race against time”
Harold looked at the ith a serious expression and built the spells to charge it
One, two, three—
As he built the spells with unparalleled accuracy, I had forgotten to breath before I knew it
One hundred
The ical power grazed Harold’s right cheek
The torrent of ical power burned his cheek in a way that it crosses the first wound
“Are you okay, Harold!?”
However, rather than groaning in pain, Harold was i
What an a concentration
I applied a handkerchief to his cheek softly
“That town is the place where I grew up, I absolutely won’t let you hurt the people in my city”
Whilequietly
