　Inheritance in life by succession.

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

　It is a way for the head of a noble or knightly family to pass power to the next generation.

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

　Basically, when the head of the family dies, his power is automatically passed on.

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

　Therefore, the succession during one's lifetime is usually done in order for the head of the family to formally choose a successor and to avoid confusion in the family.

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

　Now, it is easy to understand that the power is handed over to the children.

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

　However, there is a problem of what happens to the previous head of the family after the succession is completed.

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

　The magic that he has possessed can be used by his successor even after his death, and the next head of the family can receive the magical power that has been flowing into the family through the magical connection with his subordinates.

　Therefore, if the previous head succeeds to the new head in his lifetime, the previous head not only loses the magic pass, but also loses the ability to use magic.

　I have forced the Lubitschs, the Hermeseses, and the Bouticas to change the head of their families.

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

　It is not only changing the representative of the noble family, but for the head of the family it is as if all of his power is taken away.

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

　Therefore, changing the head of the family is seen as a serious measure, and by doing so, the one who forced the change must also be held accountable for what has happened before.

　I took over the succession in my lifetime.

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

　In the general case, I inherited the power from my son, Alford, so I would no longer be able to use magic.

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

　In fact, I lost my power.

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

　The amount of magical power I had before is greatly reduced, and I can no longer use the life magic given to me by the church, or Fontana's [Ice Spear] or [Ice Spirit Summoning].

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

　But it was not as if I had lost the use of all magic.

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

　The original magic that I developed, such as [Land Clearing] and [Soil Improvement].

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

　They were things I created with my own power, and were not magic that I inherited from my predecessors.

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

　What happens to such a wizard's original magic when he inherits it during his lifetime is that he can continue to use it without losing it from me, the founder, even after he inherits it.

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

　I checked with the god Aisha beforehand, and it was true even after I had done it.

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

　In other words, I can't use any magic given by the church or the Fontana family, but I can use Barca's magic.

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

　And there is more to this story.

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

　The question was what would happen if I create a new magic after inheriting it during my lifetime.

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

　Apparently, Aisha has seen such a case before.

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

　It is not just someone who inherited the power, but a wizard who developed his own magic and created a child with the right to inherit it through a succession ceremony.

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

　And if the wizard developed new magic afterwards, the child who had already inherited it could not use the new magic.

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

　In other words, I inherited my magic and magic pass to my son Alford, but even if I create magic after that, Alford and knights of Barca cannot use the new magic.

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

　This may seem to be a big disadvantage to some people.

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

　But it is just right for me now.

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

　The fact is that I was close to completing a magic that would have too great an effect on me.

"Ah, you have succeeded in creating a culture of spells..."

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

"A new spell, Master Ars?"

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

"Yes, Elvis. The magic circle of naming has turned into a spell. The magic of naming.

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

"Oh, [naming]. Well, does that mean I can give myself magic on my own?"

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

"Yes. When you say the word [naming], a magic circle will automatically form in front of your palm, and you can name the person you wish to marry. Then that person will be able to use magic."

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

"...... Is that ok?　Doesn't the church complain about being able to give names without permission outside of the baptismal ceremony?"

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

"Of course they will complain. That's why it's a living inheritance."

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

　Developing new magic.

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

　Having created a number of magic spells so far, I had come to know that I was about to succeed in creating a culture of spells, though it was only a feeling, a feeling.

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

　And there was one thing that I felt was about to become a spell.

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

　That was [naming].

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

　I had [memory storage] of the magic circle that Father Paul had used at my baptismal ceremony when I was six years old, and I had reproduced it perfectly and used it.

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

　I transformed the magic power from my palm into the form of a magic circle and named the people of Barca village and those under my command afterwards.

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

　Later, in the East, he also named Sura and other people around Valiant and Charlotte's subordinates.

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

　He repeated the action of deploying a magic circle while saying the word "naming.

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

　As a result, the spell [naming] was created.

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

　It was during the process of naming the people in the vicinity of Valliant.

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

　This spell is the same as the naming spell used by the priests in the church, but different in some ways.

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

　In the church, priests pray to a statue of the god Aisha to receive power.

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

　Apparently, this is a different form of naming ritual from magic.

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

　Therefore, even if a priest of the church could use the naming ceremony, the people who were named by the priest could not be named no matter how much they increased their magical power.

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

　I had stolen the naming ritual without permission, continued to use it, and was about to succeed in the culture of curses.

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

　As you can imagine, it's not a good idea to create a [naming] spell.

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

　It might cause a conflict with the church, and if people can name themselves without permission, the number of people who can use magic will increase like a hot potato.

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

　This would affect the whole society.

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

　Therefore, I have decided to cut the magical connection so that those under me cannot use [naming] by inheriting it in my lifetime.

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

　Therefore, even if I cast the spell of [naming] now, there is no one who can use [naming] in the Kingdom of Barca and Fontana, and there is no conflict with the Church.

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

　But I don't know about the East.

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

　Over here, Charlotte saw the naming spell and deciphered it, and they should be at the stage where they can use it themselves.

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

　The information has already leaked out.

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

　Once the information has been leaked, it will not be so easy to erase it.

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

　Then, we should reverse the situation.

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

　If the information has been leaked anyway, let's spread it more widely.

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

　How about making the special technology of deciphered naming magic circle as easy to use as an open-sourced program?

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

　The [naming] spell was meant to be just such a forced countermeasure against the Brillia Magical Kingdom.

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

　Right now, I was naming the persecuted people living at the foot of the sacred mountain that Sura, to whom I entrusted the variant, had brought with her.

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

　And there [naming] became a spell.

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

　In other words, if I name the inhabitants of the East from now on, they will be able to use [naming].

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

　That means that the chain of naming will spread from them, and the number of people who can use magic may increase.

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

　How far will it spread?

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

　Maybe it will not spread very far.

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

　Living in the harsh environment of the sacred mountain peaks, they do not travel very far and live in a closed society.

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

　They may give their names only within their own community and end up there.

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

　Or maybe not.

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

　I have already named others this year.

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

　I have named some of Charlotte's people through the deal with Charlotte, so they will be able to use [naming] suddenly by now.

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

　If this is the case, there is a possibility of explosive increase as if they were infected with a new type of virus.

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

　If so, the naming chain will never stop.

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

　In any case, there is not a single person who has antibodies against the spell of [naming].

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

　It is possible that the wave of naming will spread to the whole East as if it were a pandemic.

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

　Thus, I have created the magic of [naming] and used it in the East.

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

　This was also the moment when a grand social experiment was secretly started in the Eastern world, in which all people might be able to use magic.
