Chapter 16: The King's Leisure

A castle on the outskirts of Milan

Even after countless trials and rains, this medieval castle still stands tall on this plain. The castle is backed by a hill ridge and surrounded by ancient trees and rivers, giving it an isolated appearance.

In fact, the castle has been renovated from the inside not long ago, and the interior has been moved into a variety of modern equipment, although it is located in a remote location, it still maintains a normal connection to the outside world. The perfect coexistence of the modern comfort of life and the vicissitudes of the old building, even the interweaving of modern and ancient atmospheres is not inconsistent, which shows the great care that the designer has put into it.

To outsiders, it seems to be just an ancient building with a long history, but now it has been renovated for some reason. But the magicians of Italy know one thing very well, a young man with a great reputation is living here.

A young man whose identity is like a mist, who seems to be of Asian descent but has blue eyes, and has a high attainment in dimensional magic, the first god killer born in nearly a hundred years, temporarily lives in the suburbs of Milan.

Perhaps it was because this king was a powerful magician himself before he committed the great cause of killing gods, so even after becoming a king, he still had an extraordinary interest in magic. It is said that in order to study some deeper dimensional magic, the king has been studying various magic books in this ancient castle during this time. The above news is the conclusion of some people who have observed that the 'Bronze Black Cross' Magic Society has been searching for some ancient history magic books and dimensional magic materials recently. After knowing that this was the will of the king behind it, many magic associations may have sent a lot of magic materials to try to win the king's favor, but they did not receive any response.

This king has always been in-depth and simple, and very few people have been able to contact this nascent king, and the outside world does not know much about this king's information. The only rumor that is rumored by many people is that not long after this king succeeded in killing the gods, he easily killed a disobedient god who had descended on the Strait of Messina. The monsters that the top magicians feel are tricky, but they are vulnerable in front of the real king, which also makes the outside world realize once again that the godkiller and the magician are not the same kind of existence.

In one of the renovated grounds of the castle

A petite figure was jumping among the pine trees, but there was an astonishing strength under the weak body. Jumping easily from the ground, you can reach a height of four or five meters, and then freely control your body to move a few points in mid-air, gently landing between the towering branches, and then driving the flight to fall according to gravity, and finally gently stepping on the ground.

Ordinary people can only see the scene of a flash of silver light, and even the figure in the jump cannot be seen very clearly. This is the result of a jumping technique that can only be mastered by a witch using magic.

The silver show danced with the girl's petite figure, and if you look closely, you can see a lovely and slightly ruddy face, and the silver and white skin have been rubbed, highlighting the girl's excellent appearance.

She sat on the ground panting softly, thinking back to every step she had taken with the technique jump, carefully identifying her own shortcomings.

What she used just now was the 'jumping' magic that only a witch could use, and although she was still very immature in using it just now, she had basically mastered it, and the rest was just familiar things. This magic is the basic part of her 'flying' magic, but this pure magic is not low in terms of physical and magical requirements, and she can do it after just practicing magic for a year, which is already a very amazing qualification. Other practitioners at this age should only be studying the simplest theories of magic, and not involved in the practice of magic at all.

"Yes, it's finally done! but it's not good enough...... Well, there is still a long way to go before the next step of practice. Thinking so, the girl stood up again, and temporarily ended the morning practice. Although she still wanted to continue practicing, her body was no longer able to support it.

She still remembers that after fainting from overtraining, she was reprimanded by the young Wang and restrained her from doing loadful exercises. Of course, the girl who practices chivalry will not disobey her sovereign's orders, and now she is very well-behaved and ready to take a rest, after all, after high-intensity training, she needs to rest and eat to ensure that she has enough experience to study magic in the afternoon.

Although it is a medieval castle, it has been renovated by the magicians of the Bronze Black Cross Society, and it not only has a complete magic defense mechanism, but also has been modernized. At this time, the girl was soaking in the marble carved bath, completely relaxing herself, and letting the warm water wipe away the tiredness in her body.

The baths were built by the owners of the castle in imitation of the baths of ancient Rome, and although they are called baths, they are more like indoor plunge pools, so you can take a dip here. The water temperature here is always high, and even if you stay here for a long time, you won't get cold because the water temperature drops, so after each training, the girl will stay here for a long time and enjoy a rare relaxation.

"Well...... A while ago, the king was also going around renovating the original magic enchantment, and this bath seems to have burned a certain thermostatic magic and vortex magic enchantment?", the girl felt the faint magic power from the bottom of the bath, and couldn't help but think.

She still remembered that when she moved in with Wang half a year ago, Wang seemed to be still reading through all kinds of magic theories, just like when she first stepped into magic practice, as if she was making up for some things that were lacking before. She had heard from the king that the dimensional magic held by the king was not exactly the same as the current magic system, so she was working hard to learn the modern magic system in order to improve and transform the original magic skills.

Of course, she didn't know exactly how it was, after all, these things were only slightly exposed to this aspect of things from the king. But what surprised her the most was that it took less than a month for Wang to basically master the basics of all modern magic systems, whether it was European magic, Chinese magic, or African ritual spells, all of which could be used lightly.

This is unlikely in the eyes of ordinary magicians, because the basic concepts of different magic systems are different, and it takes a lot of time and effort to delve into more than two magic systems at the same time. It takes at least three years for ordinary people to completely master the basic part of a magic technique, and it is already rare for a girl like a girl to master it in one year, and this king can learn dozens of completely different magic system foundations at the same time in a month, which is enough to make all magicians ashamed.

And in the remaining nearly half a year, many of the magic books and ancient magic materials that Wang studied were already beyond the limit that the girl could understand at this time. However, according to Wang, most of those things were deep and difficult dimensional magic, and most magicians couldn't even decipher them, and the girl's confidence in being hit was only slightly restored.

"But...... What is the king's eagerness to study dimensional magic?The king's power must be matched in this world, isn't it?I don't understand it......," the girl sank her delicate body into the water, and forgot about these questions for a moment.

On the ring gallery on the top floor of the castle

The stone brick floor is still strong, as if it has not been destroyed by time. Instead of ancient paintings or artworks that can be seen in ordinary buildings, they are placed on special shelves to record the magic and spells of antiquity and mystery, power and curse.

Ordinary people can't read these books, and they can't touch these things lightly. Whether it is a magic book that records the work of a magician, or a stone tablet written in mysterious characters that has been handed down from ancient times, there is a powerful spell attached to it, and if the wielder himself does not have enough strength, he or she may even be injured by the magic on it. Some of the magic books are deadly even to ordinary magicians, and only god-killers and gods who are kings can read the obscure texts.

It's very neat and clean, and it's extremely quiet, with only the occasional sound of salsa flipping books can be heard on the top floor. Perhaps in order to avoid disturbing the peaceful environment here, there is a mute on the floor here, so that even if you step on the floor hard, there will be no sound.

On the bright red carpet, a wooden table sits between the bookshelves, and the soft light spills through the gaps in the roof, dispelling the darkness of the place.

A young man with a dark head was sitting on a large chair, holding a stone slab with many cracks, carefully studying the words on it, and constantly chanting and writing something. If a magician had taken a closer look at it at this time, he would have seen that the words written by the boy were extremely obscure, and even some of the words were not expressed in human words, but used the way of transmission of gods, and contained mysterious patterns with powerful magical powers. If the boy arranged these books in some way, then the special paper on which he had just written could even become a magic book with special powers.

Call...... Perhaps the boy was a little tired from the long hours of reading and work, and he lowered the slate in his hand and at the same time relieved himself of the special powers he had been using.

The cold touch in his mind continued to fade, and the strong comprehension and spiritual power brought by the power of the imperial envoy also left his body in an instant, accompanied by an irrepressible stinging pain that penetrated deep into his brain.

"Although it is thanks to this power that I can read these demon books so quickly...... But the pain that comes with this power is really ...... Hmm......", the boy pressed his temples, and vaguely could see the muscles of his face twitching unnaturally, and the discomfort from the depths of his brain made the boy almost unable to do anything else, but to wait for time to pass.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the boy finally had the energy to do something else, such as mobilizing his other ability, to temporarily soothe the pain he had just felt.

"Whew...... Fortunately, this power still has a healing effect on this side effect...... But it would be nice if the two abilities could be used together...... If you use the 'Divine Healing' at the same time as the 'Ancient Wisdom', you don't have to endure this terrible experience......," the boy sighed. After usurping Raphael's divine power, he can't use two abilities at the same time as Raphael, and can only use a certain part of his power at a time, so sometimes he will complain a little about this kind of thing.

Ever since he last killed Skola, the boy has been living in this castle under the name of the Bronze Black Cross, and has studied various magic books that have been handed down from ancient times to understand the modern and ancient magic systems, and to delve into the dimensional magic of this world.

"Ancient Dimensional Magic...... Dimensional magic is already a difficult magic trick to understand...... Plus depicted with images in ancient languages...... It's not an ordinary hard time to interpret......," the boy's sigh echoed from the top floor of the library.

(PS1: There was a bug in the previous chapter, and now it has been fixed.) The side effects of power can still be solved with the power of healing......

PS2: Actually, I think that the power of the composite type should have one as the core, such as the power of the 'Eastern God of War' of the Grass Pheasant Guardian, the incarnation of the warrior should be the core, and the flame of annihilation in the 'transformation' of the Kamen King should be the same. As for the power of healing, of course, it's not just for saving people......
