16 Episode 16 In Search of a Man's World Weapon






 After talking with Crabbe, I repeated the experiment to brush up the magic meter to make it more understandable.


 --Will the altered magic silver remain as it is now?

 --The unit of measurement has been set, but what if we want to measure more magic power, or more finely, etc.?


 We identified a number of problems and improvements, and as a result, we succeeded in making further improvements.
 I found that mixing red pigment, such as cinnabar, into the altered wizard silver made it easier to cut when it expanded.
 The glass tubes used were all of the same length, and the quality of the silver inside was changed to adjust the ratio of expansion. There are three types of tubes: one to measure magic power up to 50 mana, another to measure magic power up to 100 mana, and another to measure magic power up to 500 mana.


 With these improvements, it is now possible to fine-tune the amount of magic power released when using a spell. Of course, you cannot use a magic meter every time you use a spell, so it is important to learn by feel, but just being able to know a number to use as a guide makes a world of difference from before when there was no magic meter.


 After all, it is possible to measure the magic power used by others for each word or phrase.
 If you use that as a guide, you can eliminate the time spent in trial and error over the amount of magic you can put into a spell, and use that time to study something else.


 --Perhaps the magic meter is complete.


 Crabbe was, of course, happy about this.
 A unit of magic power was born, and it could be quantified, and it could be seen in detail.
 He was so engrossed in reviewing the spells he had been using that he retreated somewhere for a week after completion.


 As an arcane person, I was very happy to see Crabbe, who cares about me, happy.
 My uncle, who loves magic, said to me.


"You're going to go down in history for this! You did it!


 You did it!
 There was no doubt that a device that could measure magic power was a revolutionary item. With it, he said, the country's army could be strengthened in addition to the development of magic technology.


 As for the strengthening of the national army, as an Arcs with memories of the man's world, I am not happy about it, but I understand that I have to make a decision.
 As for the timing of the announcement to the world, which has been discussed before, the royal family and the Academy of Magic must be consulted first. In order to prepare for this, they need to collect and compile data and make an inventory of magic meters.


 Thus began a project that would take several years to complete with Crave.
 However, on this day, Arx was a little away from the magic meter and was working on creating his own magic.
 The location was at the edge of the backyard of the Raytheft family mansion. There are no hedges or flowerbeds, and it is located on a clear lawn, out of sight from the house.


 Since I've been able to use magic, I've occasionally occupied this place, using it as a place to practice my magic.


 The other day, I was kidnapped with Suu.
 We almost got into trouble because we couldn't defeat the kidnapper with a single blow of the [Scrap Arm].


 That was a complete carelessness. I didn't try to find out if I could or couldn't defeat it, I assumed I could and took a shot at it. ...... The result was defeat.
 In light of this, I thought it would be better to create a more powerful spell.
 Since magic is a technology that seeks results by combining words, it is theoretically possible to create any kind of phenomenon. Of course, there are many things that are impossible with current magic technology, so this is a theoretical theory, but it is important to try again and again.


 And for the magic to be created, I wanted to create something that no one knew, rather than imitating a widely known phenomenon or improving an existing magic.


 So, the best thing to do would be to create something based on the knowledge of the man's world.


Guns, after all. ......


 The first thing that came to my mind was a gun, a powerful weapon that I had seen in movies when I was reliving the life of a man. With a simple pull of the trigger, a ...... metal bullet shoots through the target at an invisible speed, injuring the opponent.
 The problem is that the killing power is too high.
 The problem is that the killing power is too high.


The problem is that the killing power is too high, but ...... that can't be helped.


 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.
 If you hesitate because you feel sorry for them, you and the people around you will be in terrible trouble. If that happens, you will have no regrets.


 Not only my knowledge but also my morals have been influenced by the common sense of the man's world, but as long as I am in this world, I cannot live without thinking in accordance with it.
 I have already picked up some words and phrases for the spell from books.
 All you need to do is to combine them well and match them to the phenomenon you have imagined.


 ...... To make it easier to visualize a gun, make the shape of a gun with your right fingers and hold it up.


A black bullet. Tear through the sky and through the wind beyond sound.


 When you chant the incantation, [Glyph Arts] appear and form a ring-shaped magic circle that fits on your index finger, which resembles the barrel of a gun. As it rotates, the load on the arm begins to increase.


(So far, it fits the image, but is it a reaction to the magic?


 (So far, it fits the image, but is it a reaction to magic?) Magic is rampant in my right arm. It was as if the blood in my veins was boiling and flowing into my arm in large quantities. Immediately after I put my left hand on my elbow, a black bullet was fired with a dry sound.


 The target I had prepared was shot through by the black bullet, and a vapour of magic power, like gunpowder, rose from the tip of my index finger.
 They were almost exactly as I had imagined.
 At first glance, it seems like a success.


"Hmm. It's not what I was expecting.


 The power is perfect. The black magic bullet flew and pierced the target.
 But it's a failure when you know the bullet is black.
 What you see in a man's life is somehow different, because you cannot see the bullet that was shot out.


 But what does it mean that the speed of sound is not exceeded, even though it is incorporated into the spell "beyond sound"?


"Hmmm ......


 So I guess the word you chose is problematic.


"Close to the mechanism of the gun? But that would be ......".


 You are stumbling over a concept that is not generally known.
 Examples are [explosion], [implosion], and [high pressure]. Not only is there no [ancient arts language] for these phenomena that existed in the language of man's country, but even a common language cannot be found today. As long as the mechanism of firing bullets cannot be revealed in the [Ancient Arts Language], there will always be a hole in any spell that explains the mechanism of a gun.


 When I asked Crabbe, he said there was no [ancient arts language] for such a phenomenon, so I was wondering what was going on.


(It's not like there's no ......, is there? (It's not like there's no . It's just that it hasn't been discovered yet.




 But even if it existed, it would be difficult to use, that's for sure.
 Explosions are powerful phenomena by nature. The spell could be made usable by adding words that weaken it, but that would probably make the spell too redundant.


 So, should we rethink this from the ground up?


"First of all, you can't miss the black bullet, right? ......


 The Kuro Bullet. It's the metal rubble that defeated the forest beasts that attacked the villages in the Second Chronicles. There is no more appropriate word than this for generating a flying bullet.


"Tear through the sky and pierce the wind beyond sound. ...... Is this the part that matters?


 For this part of the behavioral embellishment, I did not use the codified words described in the book, but rather pieced together unrelated words.
 Nevertheless, I wonder why it doesn't go beyond the speed of sound: .......


 If a word-only structure is not good enough, we should rely on ...... words.
 I came to this conclusion and looked at my notepad again.


"Well, a compound word in [ancient arts language] is different from a word in that it is a combination of words. In addition to the meaning of the combination, the context in which it is used is also relevant, so the meaning and effect of the word on its own is diverse. ......


 For example, the original spell that Suu used on the kidnapper earlier.
 It's probably a codicil he incorporated into it.


 I'm not sure if you're familiar with it.
 If you were to extract the meaning of this phrase as it is, it would be "to scorch", a phrase used in the decoration of combustion-related enhancements. However, if you look at the background, i.e., the intention of the page in which the phrase is written, the effect will be very different.


In the fifth book, "The Mages' Song," the avenging sorcerer, weaving his voice of fire, becomes strong and burns the book. The night sky is quietly lit and full of light, and the tower blazes brightly.


 In the scene depicted, it is a sentence in which a mage, who has become a vengeful dog, uses the magic of [fire voice] to avenge himself in front of a skyscraper at night, causing it to burst into flames, turning the shadows of the night red.


 The first meaning is that the fire blazes up.

 The second meaning is that which lies beneath the night and threatens the night.

 The third meaning is that the fire of revenge is so fierce.


 It's like the language of the land of men. There are many meanings overlapping in one word, and because of the differences in subtleties, different words must be used in different situations.
 For example, a word can have multiple meanings, or it can have different meanings depending on the situation.
 In this case, we should limit the words to those that defeat the opponent instantaneously.


 There are six books that contain the original [ancient arts language].


 The creation of the sky and the earth is recorded in the [Record of the Creation of the Universe].


 The Story of the Age of Spirits [The Age of Spirits].


 The Book of the Prophecy of Kraki], which foretold the end of the world.


 The Life of a Scholar Who Chased the Stars and the Sky [The Great Star Chapter].


 A description of the time when magical civilization was at its peak [The Mages' Song].


 The four demon kings who destroyed the world and their songs of destruction [Demon Kings at the End of the Century].


 From these, I've set my sights on three: the Age of Spirits, the Great Star, and the Minstrelsy of the Mages.


 The Age of the Spirits...... tells the story of the time when there were spirits on this earth. It contains a mixture of myths, folklore, heroic tales, and fairy tales from the world of men.


 The Great Star Chapter can be found at ....... This is a description in its entirety. It is a mysterious book that is said to have been left behind by a scholar who studied natural phenomena, or in other words, who followed the course of the stars. ......


 The same is true of The Mage's Minstrel. It's about the past, when magical civilization was at its peak, and the people of this world gained power that rivaled the technology of the world of men ...... and then perished.


Meteors on Earth: ......? It's cool, but this isn't quite right.


 I reviewed some of the words I had picked up, but nothing really stuck.
 I sat in the garden for a while and groaned, but eventually I found a word from my notes on the age of spirits that seemed to fit.


Let's try this one: .......


 As before, he held up his arm with his fingers in the shape of a pistol.
 While muttering the words over and over, he adjusted the amount of magic power he put into the gun by looking at the magic meter he had prepared.
 After a few moments of adjustment.


"--Kuro Bullet. It blinked like the gaze of the god of death, and drove down the pale horse flying in the sky.


 There was a dry popping sound, and a huge impact on the arm.
 There was a hole in the target, just like before.
 The bullet, of course, was invisible.
 The hole had been drilled instantaneously, so I think I got pretty close to the image.


You might want to check out ....... Now we just need to adjust the amount of magic it consumes.


 In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find out more about it here.


 ...... Three days later, after much trial and error, the magic of the [Kuro Bullet] was completed.
 Since the bullet is invisible, it is not flashy, but the power and effect is almost on par with a handgun.
 Now you will have a wider range of options to deal with anything that happens.
 The only regret I have is that the spell has little relevance to the gun.
