Chapter 20 (1/2)
“Hmm, it’s rather dark”
It has been around 30 ather information
When the sun had co ∩ (light) and sprinted inside the forest, arriving at the river where voice-kun disappeared
The river was around 5 metres wide The width was approximately the same as that of the moat at Ranzrack fortress
The water was so clear that when I brought the light atat the bottom of the river
I’d like to rilled fish, but I’ll save it for another time
I drew ♭ three times and leapt over the river
I used one of the ♭ the instant I leapt, and another for theThe final one was prepared in case of an accident
I also practiced with itit freely in such a vast space felt good
I skipped along the riverside, heading upstreaht after about 10 minutes
The width of the river narrowed by about half, but contained many bends instead
On the edge of that river was an unnaturally open space
It was a round area with a diameter of about 5 metres, and my first impression was that it was like an open court
Surrounding the centre of that clearing was the wooden fence that the village chief told us about
Rather than a wooden fence, nuether with rope
Through a gap in the wooden fence, I tossed a ∩ into the middle of the fenced area
“……Heh”
On the ground, a design that was neither character nor picture was indeed drawn
The design was quite complex
The pattern contained approximately 30 small patterns, and they were lined up in order
I don’t know the significance of the small patterns in detail, but several of the patterns were duplicated
……Or rather, aren’t these sentences?
“Magic sy…”
In Marquekt, there’s a coue
That’s because the eneral letters
Since there is a coards to characters, it’s easy to use ic symbols
Thus, even if the spoken language is soic symbols should be used ide
In short, characters with the exception of ic symbols do not exist in Marquekt
“Wait… Other characters……”
In a hurry, I open the 『Abaddon Magic Co in my arms
“There it is, Ancient ic symbols”
Ancient Magic Symbols
They are the powerful and yet delicate ins of the current ic symbols
The current eable for everyone, but these ancient ic symbols in terms of power
But then, apparently they had been too hard to control and were passed down in error, and only the ic symbols after simplification were currently circulated
It seeic symbols in-depth, but it’s stated that he couldn’t understand very much
However, Abaddon reproduced fragic syic symbols article
While suppressing my excitement, I compare the patterns before me to the reproduction in the book but――
“Hmm? Is it different, maybe?”
The iic symbols were printed kanji, the patterns before
Decorations were added here and there, and it was hard to specify the original text
“……For the ti, let’s transcribe it and return”
I copy down the design within the fence intothere were no mistakes
Midnight――
Taking care not to wake ot out of bed
In the shadow of the desk, I use ∩ after lowering its intensity and gaze at the transcribed pattern many times
However,
“……I don’t get it”
Due to having no ue], I was able to continue deliberating for many hours
But no ht, I didn’t understand what I didn’t understand
Since it’s not like ence improved
There’s the tale of the US ar the Pacific War, but I suppose they were able to decipher the mathematicians with brains and newly-built computers
Soht be impossible for me, an amateur
“Eei”
My not being that s that started just now
What was my forte?
Right, it’s simple work!
I spread out my notebook under the desk and tried to write down those transcribed patterns on it over and over
10 times, 20 times……
My hand did not tire as I don’t tire physically, but my muscles ache when I overdo it
While taking a break occasionally, 30 times, 40 times……
So method
I felt as though I grasped the pen’s natural route and the stroke order
50 times, 60 times……
Soon I was able to write the characters even without looking at the transcribed pattern
Afterwards, a further 70 times, 80 times……
Suddenly, I felt thethe characters
However, the mana dispersed when I directed my attention to it
90 times
My ain
So a specific passage
