Chapter 41: The Future Is Bright!
After Dio returned to the room, Aisha went to class with a lot of concern, while Eve and Katie went about their own chores, and Lady Evie left the school straight away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, before meeting Aisha, Dio had made arrangements for Eve and the others.
Naturally, Eve was going to start learning how to be a good maid, and the wild and untamed Katie was taken by Eve to take the maid course with her. With the dual constraints of contract and "desire", Dio is not at all worried that Katie will be disobedient.
What's more, Eve with Katie is not a soft persimmon.
Lady Evie began to sell the Bolton family's property according to Dior's arrangement. Lady Evie, who is pregnant, will soon have no time to take care of these properties, and with the spiping on these industries by those nobles, Dio will simply come to the bottom of the kettle.
Without the drag of those industries, Ms. Evie, who will have a lot of cash on hand, will become a difficult existence for those nobles. In an unprofitable situation, the nobles generally did not bully a widow, even if the widow was rich.
After all, the nobles still have to have face.
In this way, even without Dio's protection, Lady Evie may be able to hold out until Viscount Boton's children grow up.
Returning to his room, Dio began to review his old fighting style and try to add his newfound magic to it. In the case of concentration, time will seem to pass quickly, and a whole day will pass in Dio's intently groping for a new fighting style.
However, in the evening, someone came to "make trouble".
"Dio! Dio, are you there? I'm coming in! ”
After the afternoon class, Aisha, who has always attached great importance to her own image, shouted Dio's name loudly for the first time, and kicked open Dio's door without any image, and then broke into Dio's room in a hurry.
Looking at Dio, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, Aisha, whose face was flushed, excitedly took out the magic notebook that Dio gave her, and asked loudly, "This thing!" Where did you get this? ”
"What's wrong with that?"
Dior, who had his eyes closed, asked calmly.
"No problem...... However, this is the magical notes of the legendary elemental master, the archmage Antonio! Holding the note in her hand high, Aisha shouted happily.
"Oh, if you like it."
Dio replied with a nonchalant answer.
Putting down her raised hands and holding the notes to her chest instead, Aisha said with a little twist, "I actually want to say, such a precious magic note, you just gave it to me so casually, is it really okay?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, it's just an ordinary manuscript, and it's only the first half."
Dio still didn't open his eyes, and said in a flat tone.
"It's just a manuscript, but this magic notebook is priceless, no, it's priceless!"
Listening to Dio's words, Aisha pursed her mouth with some dissatisfaction.
"So, so you're going to sell it?"
Dio still asked rhetorically rather flatly.
"A fool would sell it!"
Aisha subconsciously retorted loudly, and puffed out her cheeks and glared at Dio angrily.
Unfortunately, Dio has never been indifferent to this. He had been quietly closing his eyes and breathing silently.
After a long while, Aisha's anger dissipated a lot, and then she gradually calmed down.
Rather dissatisfied, Aisha found a stool and sat down, glared at Dio and said, "Although it is only a manuscript, and it only has magic spells and experiences from the apprentice and beginner stages, the value of this magic notebook is still undoubted!" After all, this is a book about the legendary Archmage Antonio! ”
"Oh, as long as it works for you."
Dio nodded calmly.
Seeing that Dio's reaction was so calm, Aisha, who was quite frustrated, was not good. But she suddenly rolled her eyes, and asked with some hesitation, "That, Dio, you don't know about the deeds of the archmage Antonio, do you?" ”
“…… All I know is that he's supposed to be a strong man, that's all. ”
Although Aisha said it, Dio only nodded slightly.
"That's ......," Aisha was stunned. Only then did she realize that Dio had actually learned dark magic.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you about it." Aisha sat up straight, and told Dio the story of the archmage Antonio.
In the past, the magicians on the continent of Spera once developed a magical civilization to an incredible extent. And the archmages who are at the apex of the mages, each of them has the strength to confront the invaders from all the worlds. Even at the peak of the period, those great mages who controlled the Floating City had directly counterattacked other planes.
The magic guide warships and magic cannons of the United Kingdom of Malte, the airships of the Mantes Empire, and other magic guide weapons are also the legacy of that era.
And all this, after the low tide of the elemental tides, is a thing of the past.
Due to the continuous decline in the concentration of elements and the continuous weakening of the power of magic, it is becoming more and more difficult for the new generation of children to become magicians.
In view of this, as the last president of the Ancient Magic Society, the Ancient Magic Association began to reform magic under the advocacy of the archmage Antonio, who was known as the "Master of the Elements".
“…… Archmage Antonio finally chose the elemental magic he was most familiar with. After the refinement of the Elemental Master, modern mages choose one of the four elemental magic systems to specialize. It is precisely because of the influence of specialization in a series of magic that the promotion of mid- and low-level magicians has begun to become quite easy. As a result, the popularization of modern elemental magic was finally carried out smoothly. Aisha recounted Antonio's deeds without hesitation, and her eyes were full of admiration for the archmage, "It can be said that if it were not for the archmage Antonio, there might not be modern magic." ”
"Well, he's a great man." Dio raised his eyebrows and commented in a light tone. Without waiting for Aisha to get angry, Dio quickly changed the topic: "Then again, since this magic notebook records the experience of the archmage Antonio about magic, then this knowledge should belong to the category of ancient magic, right?" Will this knowledge really be useful to you? ”
"Of course it works! His Excellency Antonio's understanding of elemental magic alone is enough for me! Moreover, I have found a new path that suits me well from this magic notebook! At this, Aisha's eyes lit up, "You know what? Originally, mages should have only begun to subdivide into battle mages, elemental mages, or summoners at the intermediate level! But! With a fairly balanced perception of the four elemental systems, I may be able to follow the method suggested above and be promoted to an elemental mage directly in the first ring! ”
(I see, this magic notebook is actually a "job transfer item"...... )
Dio looked at the magic note in Aisha's hand and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
