76 Episode 76 "Hegemony, Gain new mobility" (1/2)
The magic circle in the underground ruins was in a good state of preservation.
The entrance to the room was sealed with an iron door, which must have prevented demons from entering.
The magic circle on the floor was also in good condition.
The magic circle on the floor was still intact.
Is Prim the master of the castle?
”Yes. Brother, I agree.
”......, my king.
But Prim looked worried.
I'm a newcomer. Can I accept such a big role?
What do you mean?
”But...
Prim fidgeted with her hair.
I'm smaller than Yukino, and I'm not sure I can accept the King's favor!
”What are you talking about?
What are you talking about? ”I was told at the Kitoru Grand Guard territory. I heard at the Kitoru Grand Guard that the King loves Lisette, Haruka and Yukino as his favorites. That's what it means to love a hero.
Oh, that...
That was the plan, wasn't it?
It was an act to throw off Princess Sylvia's guard.
Oh, really? ......
I'm not sure what to make of this.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had it.
”Of course not. Of course not. I would never do such a thing to anyone.
So you're sure that none of your men are looking for an opening to attack the king in his sleep?
”............
”Haruka, Yukino. Why are you turning your head to the side?
...... It's just my imagination!
Haruka and Yukino spoke in unison.
...... Speaking of which, sometimes the laundry you leave in your room goes missing.
I'm sure someone in your family washes your clothes without you knowing.
...... I wonder if I should be more careful about the security of my house.
Heh, sorry for the weirdness. My King.
Prim bowed deeply to me.
”This Primordia Baby Phoenix. ”I hereby command you to be the lord of the High King of the Deformed, the Demon Dragon King Shouma!
”All right. Then we will perform the ritual.
I put my hand on Prim's forehead.
I put my hand on Prim's forehead. She was shaking a little, as if she was nervous.
”Primordia Baby Phoenix. I'm taking thee to these underground ruins...
Since Prim is the owner of the castle, we'll name it after her.
I'll take Prim's last name, Phoenix, and go with that.
I appoint thee lord of the Phoenix City. Awaken the Dragon Vein!
”Mmmmmmm!
Prim's small body embraces me.
The magic overflowing from the earth passes through my body and Prim's, filling the magic circle.
And another ward is created.
The King's territory, ”Phoenix Castle”.
Lord of the castle: Primudia-Baby Phoenix
Lineage: Strategist (race: Harpy)
Warding effect: Keeps away demons
Additional Effect: Perception Increase 15%.
Chain of Custody: 4
When the chain of magic circles exceeds 4, the wards will now have the ability to transfer.
When the chain of magic circles exceeds 4, the wards will now have the ability to shift.
......?
I put my hand on the magic circle to check the flow of magic power.
If you use the Dragon Vein skill, you can see that this place is connected to Kioujou Castle (Hazama Village), Ryujou Castle (former abandoned castle), and Geguejou Castle (former bandit stronghold).
The ”True Zanjinsha Castle” (formerly known as the Tower of the Zanma) in the territory of Grand Protector Kittle is too far away.
I haven't been able to connect there yet.
But it's connected to the other three. That's why we have new powers.
It's like the yin-yang and the five elements of the original world.
The connection strengthens the flow of magic power and chi and allows me to do many things.
One of them is ”transference ability” .......
I'm not so sure about this.
It's not fair that in a turbulent world where the lords are all over the place, only one of them has the ability to transfer ......?
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
Haruka, Yukino and Prim are looking at me curiously.
I guess it's faster to let them experience it than to explain it. This is...
”Come with me for a little experiment. And Prim.
”Yes, sir. My king.
Prim looked up at me while she hugged me.
”I want you to think of me as a military strategist. For example, if an individual or an army could move from magic circle to magic circle at a moment's notice, what kind of operations would you have in mind for managing troops, trade, defense, intelligence gathering, and so on?
”......What?
Prim's eyes widened.
Prim's eyes widened. She didn't seem to understand what I was saying.
She tilted her head for a moment, then nodded as if she understood something...
Then she smiled wryly.
It will make this frontier a place no one can touch.
I know.
”This is the edge of the frontier. If we can move from Hazama Village to here in an instant, we can use various tactics, such as drawing the enemy inside the frontier and shooting them between the eyes, or attacking the Transportation Corps from behind and burning their rations. It also makes it easier to sell goods in the frontier,......, and if you're asking what you can do,......, you can do just about anything,.......
Prim's head is spinning.
Teleporting from magic circle to magic circle is too much of a cheat.
There are so many things you can do, you can't think straight.
If it really is possible to teleport from magic circle to magic circle, it means that ...... the High King of the Different can appear everywhere, right?
”Can you do that, ...... brother?
Well, let's try the experiment for now.
I invited Haruka and Yukino to join me.
Then we all held hands on the magic circle.
In the status window of the Phoenix Castle, there is a text that says ”Transferable”.
There's also a destination option. I decide on a destination and declare it.
In the name of the ”High King of the Deformed, the Demon Dragon King Xiangma”, invite us from this land to his land. Activate... 'Dragon Vein Transfer'!
And we instantly moved to another magic circle.
A few minutes ago, in Hazama Village...
A few minutes ago, in Hazama Village, Lisette was sorting through letters in the village chief's mansion.
At the trading post she built in the frontier and at Milva's Castle, she received letters from various people.
They thanked him for building the trading post.
Thank you for defeating the bandits.
Reports of improved security.
