Episode. 07 divine power (2)
“Divine power… … .”
Mana No, should I call it divine power now?
It radiated a bright light in his hand.
At first glance, it was like faith, but it was a little different.
‘Feels like mixing mana and faith?’
The divine power emitting bright light was in the form of grains, as if fireflies gathered in his hand.
Kwak-
I clenched my fists. Then I threw my fist into the air a few times.
The sound of the popping pongong was telling me that my body was much lighter than usual.
The divine power that illuminates the light while circulating the route gives me vitality and strength.
To put it simply, it should be called a buff.
“hahahaha… … .”
It seems that he really has become a trait holder.
Regardless of talent or not, the kind who were blessed from birth.
‘Anyway, I became like that, too.’
It was unimaginable.
Since the trait is an innate part, it was set that it could not be obtained through something like talent.
Seriously, when I was trying to find out how to use my faith, a pumpkin came rolling in by the vine.
calmed the excitement.
First, I had to find out about this ability.
As I activated more divine power, the divine power circulating through the root heated up my body.
From noble mtl dot com
‘It’s a considerable buff ability.’
The greater the activated divine power, the stronger the buff.
I felt my whole body full of energy and my heart pounding with excitement.
The power of the traits I acquired didn’t end there.
‘It’s compressed to a much higher density than normal mana.’
Originally, mana took the form of a gas.
Because of this, even the slightest distraction caused mana to oxidize into the air, so a lot of mana was constantly being consumed.
Simply put, fuel economy is bad.
After drawing it out, how many times and how long you hold it in your body is a measure of how well you can handle the aura.
However, the grains of light now in my hand were different.
I activated it outside of my body, but it just kept moving around my hand instead of being wasted.
‘This will make it much easier to weave an aura.’
This high-density divine power was much easier to handle than the form of the aircraft.
What’s even better was that it didn’t consume faith.
‘It’s best to save if you can.’
It will be less effective than the all-powerful faith, but there will be less risk of being attacked by demons like last time.
And the buff effect was also an ability that could never be ignored.
I got the power to use it very usefully.
When I was showing a satisfied smile, I could feel the presence of people outside.
smart-
“young master. The head of the household has called.”
The servant’s voice came from outside the door.
It was already expected that the family head would call.
He saved his holy power and left the room.
◈ ◈ ◈
Without slowing down, I headed for the governor’s office.
And in front of him, he met an unexpected person.
“Oh, Master Richard. See you soon!”
He looks like he’s in his mid-30s.
The naive yet light-hearted knight spoke happily.
I wanted to know who it was for a moment, but I immediately remembered his name.
“Sir Leo.”
The leader of the 1st Knights of Battenberg and the right hand of the family head.
Contrary to his somewhat clumsy appearance, he is a person who has made tremendous achievements by the side of the family head.
“Did the head of the household call you?”
“That’s right.”
“I’d like to talk more, but we have to make an appointment next time.”
Enough, then, after greeting, he moved on.
After looking at his back for a moment, I suddenly came to my senses.
This is not the time.
After tidying up my clothes, I entered the housekeeper’s office.
“Meet the family head.”
Ludwig Battenberg, the head of the family who always makes a formidable impression. he looked at me
◈ ◈ ◈
“I heard that something pretty big happened.”
A heavy bass sound rang through the office.
When it came to Ludwig, just talking about it was no joke.
“yes. About 30 undead other than the Death Knight attacked Snowfall.”
He swallowed once and opened his mouth again.
“Looking back at the situation at the time, Death Knight said that he was ordered to attack by a man named Crombell.”
“Crombell… … .”
“Looking at the Death Knight using his limbs, there is a high probability that he is a demon.”
“I guess so.”
Ludwig hardened his expression.
Maegyeran is the world of the weak and the weak. Most of the demons, the life forms there, had no names.
In other words, the person with the name was a demon standing in the position of the river during the law of the jungle.
The three liches currently on the continent, including Crombell, are such beings.
“Is it the lich that Balak said?”
His murmur penetrated my ears.
As if thinking about something, his fingers tapped the desk.
Soon his gaze turned to me.
“I didn’t run away, I fought back.”
“… … If it had not been for Lord Balak’s help, we would all have died.”
“okay. yes. I owe a great debt to Balak.”
it’s a debt
It was a word that didn’t suit him at all.
Ludwig muttered while nodding his head, and changed his expression in an instant.
“and.”
Black eyes look at me.
“You had an accident again.”
“Are you talking about the affair with Baron Hessen?”
“Yes.”
I knew this would come out.
“At the time of the undead attack, he made a big mistake with me.”
“okay. It is unacceptable for a baron or the like to dare lay a hand on someone from Batten. one.”
I waited patiently for his words. You can roughly guess what he will say.
“Why did you take care of things on your own? Are you still carrying your family on your back?”
It was as expected.
I didn’t panic and opened my mouth calmly.
“I’m sorry for making my own decision. But what Baron Hessen touched was my handmaid. Regardless of rank, I thought it was right to make me pay the price myself.”
The family head nodded as if to say more.
It seemed to be of interest.
I spoke without hesitation.
“There is another reason I took Snowfall. I found an ice castle made by a fairy on a snowy mountain near Snowfall. Even though it was a degenerated fairy, the beautiful exterior of the castle and the uniqueness of being a fairy were considered to be of great value to the nobles.”
The exterior of the ice castle was truly beautiful. Even if the chill didn’t rage there, it was to the point where I wanted to live on.
“Originally, I was thinking of donating it to Baron Hessen because of the family’s prestige, but I changed my direction because I had a justification and circumstances changed.”
“… … .”
Ludwig just looked at me in silence.
I also looked at him.
Eventually, Ludwig opened his mouth.
“It has changed.”
It didn’t sound like a big deal, but when I heard it from the tiger-like family head, I felt different.
Should I say that I can finally feel that I have lost my sense of stupidity?
“okay. Anyone who touches someone you think is yours must be made to pay.”
For some reason, the housekeeper focused on something other than the ice palace.
Was it so surprising to hear that Mary was mine?
When I thought about it, it made sense.
‘Richard’ This idiot was rather busy harassing his own people.
“Gide will like it.”
“yes?”
I asked without knowing.
Why is the story of Gide appearing all of a sudden?
“I will attach a manager and three low-ranking knights to the village you mentioned. I will not provide any further support. Snowfall belongs to you now.”
“Then, will I have the income after that?”
He meekly nodded.
It looks like he’s not interested in the money.
Should I say that he is the owner of a large family? leeway overflows
bowed his head at him.
“thank you. and… … I have something else to tell you.”
“… … tell me.”
“Your mana insensitivity has been cured.”
At my words, the patriarch’s fingers, which had been tapping intermittently, stopped.
But the words that came out of his mouth were unexpected.
“Now you speak.”
As if he already knew, his calm face.
Well, since I received the report through Aaron, it must be strange that I don’t know.
“How can a guy who can’t handle mana be able to withstand the Death Knight’s attack? however… … .”
After muttering that, he got up from his seat and approached me.
“Aaron seems to be hiding something.”
“… … .”
“Why did the Death Knight only target you? How did you demonstrate the power of the swordsman? The report just said it was unknown.”
The family head looked down at me and continued.
“Tell me. What are you hiding?”
Of course you will have doubts. I deliberately left room for dramatic effect.
The direct reason was because of faith, but it was not yet time to tell the head of the household.
Originally, I was going to talk about the cure for mana insensitivity, but at the same time, I came up with a good and surprising reason to just look around.
“It is because of the nature of my mana.”
“… … !”
Even though it hasn’t been long since I got it, I should be proud of this.
Hide what is to be hidden, and present what is to be shown.
And the characteristics were worth presenting now.
“What did you say just now?”
The housekeeper’s eyes widened.
It was the first time I had seen his expression change so much.
Even when he smiled, he had a great poker face with only the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
thump-
Before I could say anything, he grabbed my wrist.
Soon, mana flowed through his hands. It was a very pure and noble feeling of mana.
It’s not an attribute, it’s pure mana that’s been polished to the extreme. High purity mana befitting the continent’s strongest knight.
‘Kuu!’
It went straight to my mana heart in an instant.
The divine power that had been quietly crouching began to react. Like a whipped horse, divine power ran through the mana route.
gooh-
Aside from that, energy flowed through his body.
I told myself to be whatever I was and circulated the divine power.
“This is my mana.”
Taking it one step further, I poured divine power on the man who was holding my wrist.
Just to get drunk on the buff.
