Chapter 5 (2/2)

Wand of Castling2.

Wand of Feather Falling.

Wand of Lock.

Wand of Grease.

Wand of Mage Finger.

Wand of Water Walking.

I was looking over the wands and found a wand that was strictly locked.

This was……a Wand of Sailor’s Song.

Only this wand was special.

When singing a specific song while swinging this wand, it was said that 〈Alchemist’s Star〉 would fall.

With the magic of 〈Alchemist’s Star〉, we were also called 〈Aurelia the Star〉.

On the other hand, the reaction when it was used was not on the degree of other wands.

If a mediocre alchemist used it without understanding how to make use of it, it was said that just dropping one star would drop his own life.

It was too dangerous, I couldn’t use it.

One Puppet Cord.

It seemed that the utilization was similar to a wand.

It could be used freely a certain number of times.

One bottle of Obscuring Mist.

One bottle of Moonlight Gallnut Ink.

It was an ink made from Harvan’s special ore.

The letters written with this ink emit light only when the moon was out.

Because there was no ordinary Gallnut Ink, this had to be enough for the time being.

A piece of chalk.

Just to be safe, I packed a pen and a scrap of parchment.

Put a bottle of distilled liquor and a small box of chocolate for precaution.

Finally, I picked up one hunting knife.

I left my older brother’s Wunderkammer, close the door, and locked it.

First of all, let’s use the Wand of Glam Sight.

Pale green magic circle appeared and converged on my eyes.

When the magic showed its effect, I quickly used it on Spring Palace, and then detailed information about the magic of Phantasmal Maze appeared before me.

Creator unknown, the performer was Klaus Harvan, the time it was set up was about thirty minutes ago.

Speaking of thirty minutes ago, it was when I saw Onii-sama off.

It seemed that Klaus went out of the room due to my blunder.

Duration of the magic was three to four hours from the time of creation.

It was as I thought.

It would be too late if I waited for the effect to be over before asking help from my father or Duke Harvan.

The creator and the performer were different, because it was a magic that was launched from a scroll.

This magic was set up by the magical power of Klaus and the spell cards.

There seemed to be small spell cards on several places in this palace.

Both scrolls and spell cards were mainstream magic in the eastern Harvan.

They should have roles like a blueprint and an amplifier respectively.

It seemed that the spell cards that had been spread out create a barrier and amplified the enchanted magic, so they created a vast labyrinth.

Next, let’s examine the underground transfer gates.

As I began to run, I remembered the scene when my older brother was going to go to the magic academy.

—Huh? The underground transfer gates were managed by one-time keys.

How did Ann go to the Ruins of Visitor in the original scenario?

1 Urd is the name of one of the three Norns (Fates) in Norse mythology. Urd is the one representing the past. So, Wand of Urd Sight means that the wand could be used to see the past.

2 Castling is the act of moving the King to a safe position in a blink of an eye, by moving the King and one of the Rook simultaneously. So, Wand of Castling is for teleportation.

And guys, I named each one from the readings on the top of the kanji. But actually, the kanji made more sense than the readings. Like the Wand of Castling, the kanji said Wand of Teleportation. Do you think I should use the name in the readings, or just use the literal translation?
