46. Heir and Saint (6)
“Nishia said that?”
“Yes… I think I should tell my seniors.”
“I see. First of all, thank you.”
I was making oil by cutting the flowers that I had finally obtained, the material for the horticultural border. Under these circumstances, Eldenia came to my greenhouse to play. She told me what had happened today.
“Hey, senior… As expected, if you open the greenhouse door—”
“No.”
“I see… “
Eldenia knocked on the door of the greenhouse, then she entered the greenhouse through a secret passage in the forest in District 6. Of course, I opened the door to the secret passage. For the time being, Eldenia will have to enter and exit the greenhouse this way.
When I’m officially ready to go out into the world. Until we are ready to protect Shaiza’s wealth and knowledge from the threats of the world, we will keep the secrets of the greenhouse this way.
“If I meet Nishia later… No, I’ll have to meet and talk to you in person. You really don’t have to worry about me.”
“That… Last year, because of Princess Lerisha… That… Is it true that you were cornered?”
“… I do not know.”
“Yes?”
He continued, carrying a pot full of well-cut flowers and heading towards the water’s edge.
“I am too busy taking care of my own business. There is no time to worry about every little thing like that.”
“That… okay. That, in fact… Listen to Miss Nishia’s story. The story of Shaiza-nim and Zakat-nim came to mind.”
“Yes?”
At El Denia’s sudden words, she put down the pot she was holding and looked at her. Eldenia looked up at her ceiling and continued her words.
“If you look at Shaiza’s story, it often comes up. Even if the people around me drive Shaiza-nim away. Shaiza-nim was only concerned about her own business and didn’t even pay attention to it. Zakat-sama was beside him, and he was angry with himself saying that he couldn’t see something like this. Shaiza-nim said don’t worry about that again.”
“…… “
“Isn’t it similar? Shaiza and Zakat. Shaiza’s successor and Miss Nishia. Somehow I feel that way.”
“Then, if I start my activities with the name Shaiza later, will Nishia become Shaiza’s spear?”
At the words she threw out as a joke, El Denia made a gesture of surprise as she opened her mouth. I moved my gaze to the pot and continued.
“Anyway, I don’t really care about Princess Lelisha. I’ll be honest. Forgive or not, it’s not that level, it’s just that I’m not interested.”
I have absolutely no intention of getting close to Larisha. No, she shouldn’t be close. Because she has to be Rin and Len’s mentor and their strong party member, just like the original story. I can’t take her time.
The same goes for Irina. Because of this incident, she has decided to antagonize Irina, but unless she approaches me, she will not touch me very much. In order to do that, I had to give up my soul once in a while.
“That… What do you think Irina will do?”
“I have an idea. Because they used violence, I can’t help it either. Shouldn’t I live too?”
“Note… main… killed-“
“Not to that extent. As her brother, he only corrects her little sister’s habits. Wouldn’t it be a big deal if you do another sword fight like this time?”
I said that and stirred the contents of the pot well. After confirming that the water had thickened, he set the pot down on the workbench. Now, buy a wooden board, apply it generously, and dry it to complete the horticultural boundary board.
“And, Princess Lelisha also asked me to pay attention… No, I will tell you this myself.”
“No. If I get a chance, I’ll tell you. That… If you were hurt by a senior last year, maybe your emotions will intensify.”
“It’s really good. If you’d like to do that, I won’t hesitate.”
After arranging the materials for the boundary plate, I checked the frame I made on the workbench. The things I dried while working in the middle were well hardened. I packed the thing and looked at Eldenia.
“Saintess, I want to test a new skill. Can I be with you for a moment?”
“If it’s your opponent, do you mean sparring?”
“No. Just put up a barrier made with holy magic in an appropriate place.”
Eldenia, near my resting room, on the ground where no flowers are planted, builds a barrier. I thanked her and stood in front of her barrier.
“What can I show you?”
“I didn’t mean to show it, but… The saintess will be interested in this too.”
“I look forward to it!”
I give her a nod to El Denia. She held up the well-hardened mass and let her magical power flow. It’s a custom-designed item that breaks easily even with my weak magic power, so it’s easy to crack even with my magic power.
In that state, I stretched out my arms toward the barrier and broke the lump. Then, the fragments of the broken mass started to catch fire, and magical energy was released and gathered at one point.
“Oh, oh! This, this!”
“It is not over yet.”
The mass of fire gathered at one point spread to the side and rushed towards Eldenia’s barrier. This is an ancient magic made after reading Shaiza’s book. It is .
Chiik!ㅡ
“…… “
It was cool, but the flames that touched the barrier disappeared in an instant.
“Um… With this much power, I can’t possibly use it in real combat.”
“Ba, baba, ba, just off… It’s Shaiza’s magic, right? Yes?”
“Yes, I made an ancient Shia magic.”
“Awesome! Really great!”
A flower whose petals always have flames soaring. It is a magic made using a solid mass of Lucina’s smile and magic water. Except for Lucina’s smile, which is an ingredient for magic gardening. If there is a material that has a fire attribute, it is said that it can be used instead.
Ancient magic is different from general magic, and magic is activated in the form of making magic in advance and consuming it. The advantage is that due to the mechanism of making magic in advance, it does not consume a lot of power consumption and concentration for magic use during battle.
The downside is that it is not easy to create magic. I’m told it’s made with materials harvested in the greenhouse, but people without a secret greenhouse are bloody sh*t making one magic. For that reason, even though ancient magic has tremendous advantages, it must have been naturally weeded out.
If this is a downside, that’s a downside, but in my case just now, I made and activated a weak mass that was easily broken even by weak magic so that I could activate it, but in order to create powerful ancient magic, the item that serves as the frame needs to be strong. .
In the case of Shaiza, it is said that she used ancient magic using hard jewels and minerals. If I could make it, I could make it, but I couldn’t destroy gems or minerals with my magical power. Due to the structure of magic being activated when it is destroyed, at my current level, even if I create powerful ancient magic, I cannot use it.
In other words, even if the same Is made with high-quality materials and a solid frame that can withstand even if it contains a large amount of magical power, you can use magic of tremendous power unlike just before.
“I only added one ingredient, but it is also weak. Wait a minute. I have something to try.”
“Thumping!”
“… Yes?”
“Oh, no.”
I think Eldenia made a strange sound just now, but I guess I was mistaken, I took out the second loaf I had prepared and stretched out her arm. This time’s magic, too, is That creates a flame barrier. However, the ingredients used are slightly different.
Destroy the lump, and a pillar of fire will rise as before. However, this time the fire is a black flame. As soon as the flames hit the barrier, Chiik! Make a noise and disappear However, just looking at it, the power was incomparable to that of just before.
“Bird, it was a black flame! What was it just now?”
“Lucina’s smile, a fire attribute material as a base, is a root infused with demons. So, the other day, I made a little change to the combination formula and the materials obtained in the event of the monster appearing in the training ground.”
“Is that why the color changed?”
“Yes, not only the color has changed, it seems that the dark attribute has been finely mixed. That’s why it was blocked by a barrier created by divine magic.”
I washed my hands. Because of the ‘S penalty, the magic barrel was very low, so even after using only this amount of magic, my hands started to feel numb.
“Besides this. You can add electric properties by adding a candle that causes a paralyzing effect, or you can increase its power by adding sky blue flowers containing mana itself. The problem is that the frame has to be strong to accommodate all those materials. Because I have weak magical power, I can’t destroy the solid frame.”

I said that and looked at Eldenia.
“That’s right. In fact, I don’t know what those ingredients are, so I don’t know how to react to them.”
“In other words, depending on the ingredients put in, even the same magic can create completely different magic. If it’s the charm of ancient magic in the Shia family, then it must be charm.”
In a state where my body wasn’t fully healed, I even used magic, and the headache that had subsided began to torment me again. It was only natural that it took magic to create ancient magic, and it took magic to use.
Especially when creating magic, a lot of mana is consumed. Wizards who have mastered Shayza-type ancient magic can transform into magical properties suitable for ancient magic.
Magic energy is also consumed when converting magical power, and this structure requires that the converted magical power be driven into a frame to complete the magic. In other words, even if you know the ingredients and recipes, it means that you cannot create magic without acquiring ancient magic skills.
The advantage is that even if you use all your magic power when creating magic, once you create it, it will be permanently preserved until you use it or lose it. A few days before a major event, making a lot of ancient magic consumables and restoring magic would be a way.
“Awesome! Me too… Can you make one for me too?”
“Sorry. Shayza’s ancient magic. It can only be used by flowing magic that has been converted appropriately for this magic system. You can’t just have items.”
“That’s right. It’s a pity.”
“It’s like Shia-type holy magic. You can get it through training, but you don’t have to.”
In game terms, you have to acquire skills to open the proficiency gauge. Shaiza woke me up, so I’m assuming I’ll use it, but there’s no need for Eldenia to learn ancient magic. The supply and demand of items was also a problem, and if it was an ancient magic, the difficulty of learning would be enormous, so it would take a lot of time.
“I also… I thought Senior Warros made it to sell magic in her store.”
“No way. Ah, the story of selling magic. It’s not an impossible story.”
“Yes?”
“I told you that I would study all of Shaiza’s knowledge. Ancient magic is also part of it. In fact, there are so many other knowledge that Miss Shayza left behind.”
I said that and took out a piece of paper from my pocket. It is a piece of paper that has failed in production and must be thrown away.
“Something is written. Uh… Is it a magic formula? This… This?”
“A magic scroll. I made it using Miss Shaiza’s knowledge. It failed spectacularly. It’s just that you have to study hard enough to succeed… “
“Create a magic scroll! The scroll creation technician itself is a rare skill as there are only a few in the empire! Are you saying that Woros senior is doing this?”
“I’m still in the stage of studying.”
Writing a magic scroll itself is an extremely advanced skill. Therefore, it is a problem to write, but it is also difficult to obtain paper used as a scroll. I had some scroll paper left over from Shaiza, so I practiced it, but by the time I was able to make and sell scrolls in earnest, the supply and demand of paper would also be necessary.
Fortunately, it is possible to obtain seeds for paper materials for scrolls in Magic Gardening LV4 Tech, so by then, I plan to make and sell simple magic scrolls. Due to the nature of magic skrulls, which cost money, making simple magic will make a lot of money.
Thinking of that, I gently caressed the wound on my stomach. The wound has healed to some extent, but the pain is still there. I guess I’ll have to take a break tomorrow too.
“Holy Lady, we are here for today. Oh, but can you stay in the greenhouse for a long time like this?”
“Of course! I came to play after finishing all my work.”
“Aren’t you actually free?”
“Of course. Even if you look at me like this, I’m a very high-level person, so if I just do my job, no one will say anything? I’m a student right now, so I don’t have much work.”
Eldenia giggled while saying that.
Then she walks over to her chair, takes her seat, and sits down. Eldenia’s words must have meant that she asked me not to kick her out because I’m free.
Sorry, but I want to be alone. I have to go out
