Overlord, I don’t want to be the Holy Queen’s Great Sword
Page 38
Oh, ho, ho, ho——!
Twisted, twisted!
Ika immediately held up his head and half-jumped across the crowd like a freak.
But at this time he no longer had any extra attention to his neck, but was completely focused on the old man.
Why did the Imperial Master Fluder come to the Holy Kingdom?
At this moment, Ika racked his brains but couldn’t come up with the answer to this question.
In the end, he could only drag his sprained neck and walk towards the branch of Wind Flower Scripture in a panic.
The old man with white beard was looking around with nostalgia, and finally walked towards the palace of the Holy Kingdom.
He needs to pay a visit to this generation’s Holy King first, and then talk about other things.
Chapter 58: Hope Rises Again
In the palace classroom, everyone stood up and practiced the magic at hand seriously.
Even though they have been tortured and hit by someone, they have now come to terms with it. Some people are indeed someone they can never catch up with in their entire life. Instead of wasting time competing with others, it is better to take care of their own affairs first.
For a moment, many people in the classroom were no longer as lazy as before, and were practicing magic seriously.
Even though Sanita and Corean had reached the third level, they did not leave the classroom and were still practicing magic here.
However, compared to everyone standing up, there was a different scene at the back of the classroom.
Karko and Kuirat were both lying on the table, summoning magic circles and writing and drawing on them. Even High Priestess Mariana, who was in charge of guiding everyone’s practice, would come here to take a look from time to time after walking around.
Another circle passed, and Mariana was completely sure what the two men were doing.
They are learning magic patterns!
And he planned to put the magic patterns into practice to speed up his learning of magic.
Mariana thought back to the news she had heard some time ago. It seemed that the royal family was indeed trying to study the magic patterns.
What a coincidence!
Mariana’s heart was filled with turmoil.
Before, she was worried that her knowledge was not enough and she didn’t know how to get closer to Karko. But now, this magic pattern has opened another path for her.
She has also studied magic patterns!
In fact, when she was stuck at the fourth level, she thought about seeking breakthroughs from other aspects.
The magic circle is naturally one of them, and the research on magic patterns ranks first.
However, the magic patterns are too profound and obscure to understand. Even after many years of research on her own, she still has not achieved much.
However, when she was studying magic patterns, she did achieve considerable success in another direction, which was the composition and outline of magic circles.
It’s like an article written in the same language, but it looks very different.
Paragraphs or no paragraphs, poetry or letters, even text has various ways of writing. Regular script is fair and beautiful, while cursive script is bold and unrestrained. They each have their own advantages when combined with the format.
Mariana’s discovery was just as she had told Karko a few months ago, some magic patterns had one meaning when grouped together, and another meaning when they were alone.
The magic circle is layered, so no matter how many magic patterns are gathered together, they are still separate.
After a long period of research, she discovered the basic logic behind the division of these magic patterns. For example, the magic patterns outlined on the circles around the first layer of the magic circle often mean transformation and activation.
Even the beautiful-looking pattern in the middle is part of the conversion.
Starting from the second level, most magic patterns begin to involve the composition of magic effects.
Because of the complexity of the magic patterns, her research became difficult at this point, but even so, it gave her a lot of help.
For example, she has learned almost all magic skills related to magic.
Except for some of them that require self-training, many other magic skills, such as [Magic Power Upgrade] and other magic skills that change magic effects often have a corresponding ring of magic patterns.
With this knowledge and long-term practice, she has figured out a special technique for drawing magic circles, which allows her to far surpass other magic casters of the same level in terms of casting speed and magic effects.
I’ve been so busy lately that I almost forgot I had this skill.
Suddenly, even though Marianna was almost forty years old, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Even some beautiful expectations appeared in my mind.
Mariana thought back to the time she had spent going from the third level to the fourth level, and she suddenly felt that even if Karl was a genius, it would take him at least a few years to achieve this.
Don’t be in a hurry, take your time!
For a moment, Mariana moved briskly among the students, waving her finger and pointing out everyone’s mistakes.
Karko, who had moved to the back of the classroom, was still working hard with Kuirat to try to break the magic circle with magic patterns.
The difficulty of third-tier magic has indeed increased significantly.
Only three hours had passed, and Karko had barely learned two spells, one was [Healing of Severe Injuries], and the other was [Sunlight].
The latter is a hybrid and enhanced version of [Tracer Missile] and [Light Magic]. She plans to use it on that old man in Silshana to see if the critical damage of [Sunlight] on the undead is effective.
Although she spent a lot of time trying to understand magic through magic patterns, it was enough to prove the difficulty of third-level magic.
She now understood why third-tier magic was the limit for ordinary people.
It’s not a big deal to remember the magic circle, the main thing is how to outline the magic circle without letting it collapse.
The third-level magic starts with at least three layers of structure. If any one of them goes wrong, it will lead to a total collapse.
Basically, she wasted half of the three hours practicing to ensure that she could cast the spell 100%.
This is the case when she has an affinity with magic. She couldn’t believe how much torture it would be for any other ordinary person.
“Well, I’ll go with you this afternoon to study some second-tier magic!”
Karl lay weakly on the table, slightly turning his head to look at Kuirat who was still studying seriously.
“What? You give up just like that?” Kuirat said without turning his head, his eyes always fixed on the book that recorded the magic patterns.
“No, I just think that instead of learning third-tier magic now, it’s better to learn those special second-tier magics. I can also help you by the way, right?”
Karko buried his face slightly between his arms and the table, turned slightly to reveal his profile, and winked at Kuirat in a very flattering way.
Kuirat looked as if he didn’t care, but Karko could see that the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, but were immediately pressed down.
It was obvious that Kuirat was very happy that Karko still remembered her as a friend.
The girl immediately pretended to be reserved and asked, “What magic are you going to learn this afternoon?”
“I don’t remember you were almost done learning the second-tier magic?”
“Magic like [Lower Level Agility Enhancement] and [Lower Level Muscle Strength Enhancement],” Karl explained.
This type of magic is universal magic, which can be used by magic casters of the three systems, or even magic casters of other systems.
But for this reason, there is no such kind of magic in the priest education in the classroom, and Karl discovered it in the library.
She planned to learn these magic tricks to make up for the defect of her short legs.
After months of mutual torture with Sirxana, she had come to realize that she might be able to buy some time, but she would eventually make up for it with speed when Sirxana chased her.
So it is very necessary for her to improve her physical fitness.
By then, she wanted to see how Sirshana would look like, as he couldn’t stand her but couldn’t catch up with her!
After hearing this, Kuirat flipped through the book in front of him thoughtfully.
If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have seen these two magic circles in some examples of related magic patterns.
really!
Then just take a look at it as a review, so you don’t have to be pulled away by Karl in the afternoon.
The girl smiled slightly and immersed herself in her studies again. Karko was still lying on the table, resting comfortably. The sunlight shone into the classroom through the window, and for a moment, it reflected a different light between the two girls’ golden hair.
But what neither of them noticed was that Spa was looking over here not far ahead with a conflicted expression.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath.
It happened to be noon and the get out of class was over.
Chapter 59 The Truth
“Spa, are you saying that there is already news about the matter I asked you to investigate?”
After finishing his meal and returning to the classroom, Karl sat in his seat, looking at the little fat boy in front of him who was clasping his hands together and looking very embarrassed, a hint of curiosity emerged on his face.
Kuirat, who had just sat down, was no longer in a hurry to study the magic patterns. He held up his face with great interest, ready to listen to what Spadu had found out.
You know, Karl mentioned this matter a few days ago when he asked his knights to inquire about the news.
Naturally, Kuirat knew the name of the Spa-Spencer family, so she was also very curious about what Spa had found out after investigating for several months.
Spa spoke haltingly, with some self-blame and worry on his face.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness Karko. I asked our family to help check, but we didn’t find the animal that resembles a small Tob high-level tiger that Your Highness mentioned.”
“But we did find a similar creature that is smaller in size. It is called the Golden Tiger Cub. It is said that the locals gave it this name because they found that they would never grow up.”
“But even so, it doesn’t reach the proportions you described. Its body length alone is probably… almost as long as my two arms.”
Spa asked tentatively, gesticulating as best he could.
“Your Highness, do you need us to bring it to you?”
“The butler said that the forest priest has been asked to tame the young Gordon tiger. Your Highness, don’t worry about it hurting you.”
Spa said tremblingly, observing Karko’s expression.
“It’s almost as long as your two arms. It’s not some small animal!”
Karl said with a meaningful sigh.
Spa is twelve years old now, and his arm span alone is estimated to be more than one meter, or even close to one and a half meters.
Although judging from Spa’s gesture, the cat is still some distance away from Spa’s arm span, it looks to be at least 1.2 meters tall, a little over 1.1 meter.
This level is probably no different from a leopard, right?
“Leave it at your house for now.” Karl waved his hands and arranged, “I’ll send it over after I’ve packed it up.”
Although she likes cats and many felines, she is not willing to put her life in danger just for this love.
Although Spencer’s family said that they had asked the forest priest to communicate and tame the animal, who can be absolutely sure about such things?
When I had cats in the past, there were many cases where the cats suddenly climbed onto my back and their claws subconsciously popped out, causing a tragedy. What would happen if it was a leopard?
It’s better to wait a little longer. These few days she is preparing to further determine the magic energy that she will practice in the future.
By then, she will have the spiritual energy to protect herself, so she won’t have to worry even if the leopard really attacks her.
“But I’m really sorry to bother you during this period, Spa.”
“It’s no trouble, it’s no trouble. It’s my honor to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess.”
After hearing this, Karl just smiled and said nothing, then changed the topic to another matter.
“By the way, I remember that you, Spa, seemed to like making magical props, such as Gram?”
“It just so happens that I saw a book about magic craftsmen in the royal library some time ago. It contains a lot of relevant knowledge in this area, and even the specific production process of magic props. I will borrow it and bring it to you later.”
“Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!”
When he heard that it was a book on this subject, Spa’s eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly to express his gratitude.
For him, nothing could be more exciting than this.
The most important thing is that by doing this, Carl can pass on this knowledge, and there are no restrictions on its dissemination.
However, this excitement made Spa remember the most important thing about his visit this time.
“Your Highness, there is something I think I should tell you.”
Spa’s tone was hesitant, but the seriousness and earnestness in his eyes were not false at all.
“What’s the matter?” Karl’s expression also slowed down.
“Regarding your name for the animal, I don’t know what ‘cat’ is, but the word I heard means ‘kaz’.”
