Chapter 22: Fate
(Thank you for the reward and support of Light and Shadow Arc)
Al's ideal of life is to be an idler who lives a relaxed and happy life without work or responsibility, which is not difficult for a reincarnated person with noble status, and by 'inventing' the items of his past life, he can get a share from the authorized chamber of commerce.
Magic is not necessary to achieve the ideal, but in fact Alr has always been trained in magic. It's not to become stronger, not to live forever, not to satisfy the soul of the middle two, it's just because magic is very convenient, his goal is to complete the trivial things of life lying down, laziness is the driving force for human beings to move forward~
Most of the magic applications Al did not hide from his family, including the extremely rare ice magic on the White Continent, and the lord's family's shaved ice, ice cream, iced drinks, and indoor cooling in summer were all handled by Al. It's just that, in order to reduce the risk of being forced to work, Al has always hidden his true skills.
One is the "magic attack", the total amount of magic power is not exactly the same as the magic attack, and there are also magicians with a long stream of water, Al is worried that if he uses his full strength, he will be sent to the battlefield one day, so he never contributes when practicing magic under the guidance of his mother; The second is "space magic", which opens up a subspace for storing items, can be accurately transmitted over long distances, and is a stable national strategic talent, who is bound to be very busy with work.
Al's disguise was actually very successful, and he hid his parents who had a decent level of magic perception, but he was unlucky enough to run into Lyle passing by-
"It's too much, Al." Looking at the hill pierced by black rocks in the distance, the lord covered his face and said.
"Huh~ Isn't this what you said you want to go all out?" Al said he wouldn't take the blame, and he didn't want to demonstrate the magic again if he wasn't threatened.
"Okay...... "The lord took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and looked at his youngest son with extremely serious eyes, "Al, you already have the capital to slay dragons. ”
Al didn't think that the dragon was stronger than a mountain, and said with a dry smile: "But I don't think I can win against my father at all~"
This is not a lie, the strength of the dragon is not the same type as the strength of the human swordsman, he has zero combat experience, slow reaction, thin blood and short legs, he can use the dragon as a target to kill with one blow, but it is possible to be hacked to death by the human swordsman in an instant.
"So, do you want to do intensive training?" The lord said with great interest.
No parent wants their child to grow up in the direction of an idler, let alone a genius.
Al hurriedly shook his head and refused: "No...... Now the training intensity is very high. ”
"Al, you......" The lord sighed, feeling helpless.
That is, they were a couple born from adventurers, if they had changed to a traditional aristocratic family, they would have used all kinds of means to force Al to work hard, how could he be lazy.
"That, dear?" The lord's wife reminded her, "It's a rare opportunity, even if you want to train more, it's to find Your Excellency the Destruction Magus, right?" ”
"Well...... because of the battle in the royal city, the lord had a very bad impression of the Imbas siblings, and he didn't want his son to contact them.
It doesn't matter if you don't learn magic well, it's a big problem if you learn bad temperament.
Elenora raised her hand and asked, "Can I also go to the auditorium?" It won't delay Luna-sama's lesson! ”
Her physical strength is limited, and she can only last a morning in devil training, and Luna is not a patient mentor, so she is free in the afternoon.
"Ahh~? Eleonora would take the initiative to receive magical training? The couple was surprised.
"Al just struck that blow, and Lord Lyle stood still and followed." Eleonora looked back at the piercing in the middle of the hill, and thought back to another image, "Although, even though I'm an unqualified magician, maybe I'll be able to gain something?" ”
"Well, if only Eleonora's enthusiasm could be given half of Al'......" The couple looked at each other, looked at Al, who still had a pair of dead fish eyes, and shook their heads.
》》》》》》》
"Is that his answer?" Looking at Al, who 'invented' the sleigh and let the hunter's hound pull the sled around, Gulakias looked disappointed.
Lyle shook his head and said, "He has already given the answer, and those dead fish eyes say it all." ”
A person whose heart is touched and the blood in his chest is boiling will not still have that kind of eyes, and he will not be touched in the slightest on the spot, so don't expect him to calm down and change his mind afterwards.
“…… I lived in vain in my last life. Gulaqias gave a cold evaluation, "Only fate can decide right and wrong" is not encouraging negative life, after putting in the effort, there may be different results when fate comes. ”
Lyle shook his head and smiled, "Don't say that, I think it's good...... Not affected by my family, I was easily taken by the full blow and was unmoved, and carried out my lazy life. ”
I don't know when it started, Lyle doesn't like people whose ideas change easily with the change of environment, and the more unchanging people are, the more they can get his favor.
“…… Master, I have to warn you that people of this level can be found everywhere. "I don't think his family will be able to maintain his current lazy outlook on life after his family is ruined." ”
"That's true......" Lyle had to admit that Al hadn't encountered a big enough event to shake his laziness, but this side was put aside for a while, and Lyle was more concerned about a digression, "Gulakias, you shouldn't be planning to make a move, right?" What I said before...... Lead me to ruin? ”
Gulaqias was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I didn't have this plan, it was just a hypothesis just now." ”
"That's good, except for the dead fish-eyed imp, this family is a rare nobleman who doesn't make people upset." The point is that Luna is very happy with Elenora, and if she attacks Elenora in front of her eyes, Luna will tell Gulaki Ace what the Red Dragon Knight is, "Anyway, how are you going to lead me to ruin?" ”
"............" Gulakias fell silent.
She was sorry for her true master, the Lord of Destruction, who hadn't done anything serious in months, indulging in a mundane life she hadn't tasted before, and even thinking about how to do her work at this moment.
"Understood, you can't say this kind of thing!" Lyle interprets the silence on his own.
Gulakias thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask a question that had nothing to do with work: "Master...... If I do something you don't want to lead you to ruin, what are you going to do with me then? ”
"Forced repatriation." Lyle didn't hesitate in the slightest, because he had already thought about it.
"......" This is not the answer that will make Gulakias blush and her heart beat.
"I am reluctant to kill you, but keeping you may hurt the feelings of others, so I can only send you back." Lyle hugged the disappointed maid and said seriously, "...... But don't worry, I will definitely summon you again in the next life~"
