Chapter 12: Vincent's Amazement
"What?" Vincent's brow furrowed, and his steps to enter any door came to a halt. You must know that the purpose of such a vague conversation between Vincent and Brady just now is not to let Ain, who is an outsider, know the news about the impact of magic energy.
However, Vincent knew that the Baron Ain in front of him, although he only had a one-ring attainment, was estimated to have been affected by a lot of magical energy on the first day of the new year, but he didn't expect that Ain already knew what his mission was.
"I think the task assigned to you by His Majesty the King and the Council of Nobles is about magical energy." Ain's words were very strict, "But I guess you still haven't figured out why a wave of magic energy suddenly erupted. ”
Limited to his current strength, Ain also knew that now he could only rely on things like reading some books to explain why he knew about magic powers. After all, a lot of information about this spatial rift, which has been out of balance, is not accessible to ordinary people. If the reason for knowing this news was attributed to his own speculation and conjecture, Vincent would definitely not believe it. And even if those non-existent books are used as an excuse, the information that Aine himself can reveal must be deliberately vague and vague.
"Do you know anything?" Vincent was attracted by Ain's deliberate tone, and didn't delve into anything, but asked very directly.
"Would you believe me if I deduced from a few words in an ancient book that there was a spatial rift hidden beneath our Winterfell?" Aine began to rack his brains to come up with a reason.
Vincent just nodded, motioning for Ain to continue.
Ain also knew that Vincent must be aware of this spatial rift, otherwise the Kingdom of Resel would not have sent a member of the Royal Mage Corps to live in Winterfell.
If Aine knew that Vincent was based in Winterfell, thanks to Brady's slapping of the table, it was clear that that part of the table had solidified a teleportation spell to inform Vincent. And there must be a town hall with an anti-teleportation enchantment, and it also leaves a back door for Vincent's teleportation spell of any door. What good are these designs if Vincent isn't based in Winterfell?
"On the first day of the new year, after I was hit by demonic energy, I remembered an ancient book I read when I was living outside the Northwest Fortress. It contains some legends about the spatial rift under Winterfell. Although it is very fragmentary and obscure, it seems that the above statement is that at the end of this spatial rift, it is very likely that it is a half-plane of magic energy...... But these are all conclusions that I have deduced from my recollections, which are no longer very accurate. Ain also replied with a pretended uncertainty of not being sure, "Of course, it is not ruled out, it's just that a stream of magical energy in the outer plane accidentally broke through this spatial rift." ”
Dimensional knowledge is basically a compulsory subject for spellcasters, especially mages. Because many mages, when they are strong enough, will choose to travel to the outer planes. Even if you don't become a plane traveler, then when casting summoning spells, whether it is to use the full strength of these otherworldly creatures or to communicate with some otherworldly creatures, you need a lot of plane knowledge.
"Half-plane ...... of magical energy" Ain's words silenced Vincent, because the half-plane of magical energy contains a huge amount of magical energy, once this spatial rift is not handled well, then the burst of magical energy is enough to turn the entire Far Winter City into a dead city - unlike that kind of physical destruction, if the endless magical energy suddenly erupts, it is enough to destroy the consciousness of all living beings in an instant, leaving only a shell, which seems to prove the previous existence.
"Of course, these are all speculations based on my superficial knowledge of the plane. In terms of possibility, I still think that the possibility of free magic energy from the outer plane is higher. Ain knew that it was indeed a half-plane of magic energy on the other side of the spatial rift, but in order to show that this was his inference, he added so.
However, since Aine proposed the half-plane of magic energy, Vincent's mind also knew it. If Aine wasn't very clear about the situation of that spatial rift right now, Vincent wouldn't be unclear.
Thinking back carefully about the situation detected in the past few days, behind the spatial rift, what is hidden is basically a half-plane of magic energy.
"Lord Vincennes......" Brady listened to the conversation between Ain and Vincent, but he was puzzled. After all, Brady is a knight, and although he is already considered a quasi-high-level, it is basically impossible to learn the dimensional knowledge that only spellcasters will involve.
"It's troublesome." Vincent shook his head and looked out the window at the sky, as if in a daze. After a while, Vincent raised his hand and made a gesture, and an arcane aura flashed through his hand.
"In a few days, a master of the Prophecy School should come to Winterfell." Vincent's gaze was still looking at the sky outside the window, "For the problem on the other side of the manor, I will seek the help of that master." ”
"Thank you, Lord Vincennes." Although Aine was very disdainful in his heart, Vincent's reluctance to use the legend himself, he still said politely.
"If your conjecture is confirmed by then, I think I should have put you down to a different kind of person by then." When he said this, Vincent turned his head and looked at Aine carefully, "It's not bad that you can have such courage and knowledge and the ability to guess." ”
……
When Ain left Brady's room, Brady looked at Ain with a less businesslike look in his eyes, and called a servant to escort Ain to the door of the town hall.
"It's just that I already know the result, if I want to tell me how to deal with this spatial rift, will this high-level mage named Vincent directly stare out in shock?" Aine teased in his heart, but now even if Ain is given a few dares, he doesn't dare to say how to deal with the spatial rift. Because the arcane aspect involved in this method is something that Ain, even his nominal teacher, Grian, can't touch. If you say it directly, you will definitely be suspected of being investigated.
As for the purpose of coming to the city hall this time, in fact, the final result has exceeded Ain's expectations.
Originally, he didn't expect to get help to solve the problems of his three hereditary estates, but he didn't expect that the crooked fight gave him a hope.
The one who can be called the master of the prophecy school by Vincent, a high-level mage, must naturally be a prophet with high attainments. Ain is confident, and with the current investigation of the northern manor area, with the help of a prophet of that level, it is still very easy to find the core of the magic ritual.
Just like destroying and building, it is often much easier to destroy than to build. Similarly, the cost of anti-prophecy is much higher than that of the same level of prophecy. And the more advanced the anti-prophecy, the greater the cost.
Thinking of this, Aine couldn't help but look better. If the master of the Prophecy School successfully finds the core of the magic ritual and destroys the entire magic ritual, then the land of the manor should slowly return to normal. If he can't find the magic ritual and core, then Ain will simply give up hope in these three manors, and transfer the almost wasteland manor to them at the behest of the larger nobles.
