"Oh, by the way, Gran told me. He thanked Kyle for helping him decipher the magic circle."

"Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He was having trouble, so I helped him out. Magic circles can be made in many different ways.

"Yes, it is. Especially since magic stones have only been able to replenish magic until now. Now we can use them as magical tools with the magic circle. It's not so convenient. But I'm really impressed you were able to decipher it.

"Yes, it is. It's quite complicated, and it would have been impossible to decipher it with only magical weapons and such. Well, it was also deciphered by looking at the magic circle in the church, so I think the world is a strange place.

"Hmm?　By church, do you mean the naming magic circle or something else?　Was that magic circle the catalyst for the decipherment?"

"That's right. Maybe, but I think the main idea is the same.　There were some commonalities, and that was a good clue."

　I was developing a magic airship and a magic train, and I somehow talked to Kyle about what I was doing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was about the magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the magic weapon, the rock crossbow staff, or the eastern magic tool, Kyle's analysis of the magic circle has made it possible to create new tools in this way.

　But in fact, it seems that the hint for this was also found in the magic circle of the church.

　Basically, the magic circle in the East is protected by encryption so that it cannot be stolen without permission.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was necessary to unlock the encryption and read the meaning of the magic circle.

　Fortunately, Gran knew some of the magic circles, and they were also clues.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the best clue was the magic circle named after the church.

　The magic circle used in the church could be named by using the one I had memorized at the baptismal ceremony.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is too complicated to remember at a glance, but if you reproduce it completely with magic, you can pull off the same effect.

　In other words, it may have been an unencrypted, bare program called the magic circle.

　The magic circle had a number of geometrical patterns and some kind of letters within the circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These letters were not in common use today.

　However, the Eastern magic circle clearly used a similar type of script.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps the magic scripts used in the church in ancient times and the magic scripts used in Briaria today have common roots.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why Kyle was able to decipher the magic circle by comparing the two.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, Kyle makes it sound easy, but in reality it was obviously quite a difficult task.

"However, if Kyle was able to analyze how the magic circle works, we won't have to purchase magic tools from the East in the future, will we? That means we can make magic tools for heating food for cooking, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. We can make magic stones with Brother Ars' magic, and we can also make many other magical tools here."

"It's going to be useful in many ways. We could make heating and lighting fixtures, and if we use the rotating mechanism I made with the spirit stones, we should be able to work much more efficiently. Windmills will no longer be necessary, and harvesting wheat could be made labor-saving."

　Just thinking about it gives me all kinds of ideas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After completing the magic airship and the magic train, shall we build a tractor next?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wheat harvest, which requires manual labor with a sickle in one hand, could be eliminated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I have to make the spirit stones for that purpose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I should make a spell so that I can make spirit stones as well, though I cannot prepare the number of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rotation mechanism is convenient, but it could be used by others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We may need to consider it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Hey?　On second thought, is that a bad idea?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you talking about?　What's wrong, Brother Ars?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, in the East, especially in Briaria, there was originally the technology of magic circle, wasn't there?　We took that technology and we can use it in this way. But isn't it also true the other way around?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Reverse?　...... Oh, right. I thought you were using the magic circle over there, Brother Ars. Does that mean it might be stolen?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. That's it, Kyle. I've been naming Charlotte's men in the East. That's, of course, using the magic circle I learned to see at the church. That means if you can see the magic, you can see the magic circle. And the magic circle was a classic one with no encryption at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, it is possible that Charlotte and the others learned the name of the magic circle from the magic circle used by Ars' brother. That would certainly be dangerous. Right now, Ars is going there to do the naming, but if the method is stolen, the naming could spread on its own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Kyle is right and the magic circle of the church is a non-encrypted magic circle that can be operated as it is if it is reproduced perfectly, then I am not the only one who can steal it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the magic circle is so complicated that I don't think I would be able to memorize it after seeing it once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Charlotte was always present when I was naming Charlotte's men in the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, I thought that she was making sure that she was naming them as per the contracted deal, but maybe she was not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe she was looking at the magic circle again and again and trying to remember it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Charlotte gets the magic circle, she will probably use it in her own country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From what I have heard, there is no church-like organization over there and wizards are not common.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps the ancient art of magic circles for the conduction of magic has died out somewhere in the course of history.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What if we could have the technology to increase the number of wizards at once?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I could increase the number of wizards, it would be my magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a possibility that the number of wizards who can build walls, make roads, and even create magic stones will spread all at once in the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may change the balance of power in those countries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I cannot imagine what would happen if that were to happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now that we can make magic tools here, perhaps we should cancel the contract with the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I realized that I had just crossed a dangerous bridge.
