The Strategist Knows Everything

Chapter ii farce 3

Full moon night.

When I was in the room, I noticed that the surrounding noise was gone and I slowly looked at the veranda.

Elfin, a man with clear white skin, stood there.

"How are you doing?

"I've been thinking a lot about it."

Hearing my return, Elfin narrowed her eyes a little.

"I don't think you think much."

"That's not true. A lot. For example, I always wonder if I'm doing the right thing right now."

If I just thought I was right, I'd step off the road. Conversely, if you keep doubting yourself, you can't move on.

Medium difficulty. So you always think. Whether what you are doing is right or not. See if there was any other way.

If you think of other paths and see all sorts of things, you'll see the whole thing every second.

It is now a map of forces within Albion.

Albion's map of power must have changed with me coming to this faction. It has become possible to counter Stratos, who was almost in possession of Albion.

But Stratos knew this faction's lair. The question is when did you find out?

Is it since I came to Albion or after I came?

Or did you know it from the beginning? That's all that changes my policy.

Anyway, if you knew from the beginning, you can do whatever you want with the small work.

I can send my pawns in and control them from the inside out.

There is no guarantee that Master Al has not been manipulated, and it is possible that Miriam, who came later, has also been manipulated. I still can't see the signs, but maybe I have to assume.

In other words.

"It's not a zero chance that I'm wrong. Actually, the guy who was the enemy is the real ally, and the guy who thought he was the ally could be the enemy.

This is an enemy land for me. It doesn't mean you're too alert. "

"I mean, you don't trust anyone."

"You don't really trust me. I'll show you what I'm doing."

"Sounds like it. You tell that story, and you show it to me like you trust me?

Will it be read by boulders?

Shoulder to shoulder, Elfin smiled.

"It's the person Lelfa chose. If that's not the case, it won't work. Anyway, your opponent is an ancient species. You'll never win with your power. Use all the wisdom you can and see if you can do something about it. It doesn't seem to fit into a human trap."

"So you don't give more advice than you need?

If you know everything about this Albion, Elfin should know.

Where Stratos is.

"Would you like some advice?

"Of course. I want to make it easier."

"Right. Shall I give you some advice? I know where“ Yuri Stratos ”is. But it means nothing to you."

That's a mysterious rhetoric.

Elfin knows where Stratos is. And that should be the information I want.

But I can't believe it doesn't make sense.

"Is that the hallmark of an ancient species? It's gonna be roundabout."

"I think it's a matter of people's understanding."

"If you think a distorted good is more elegant, know that it is different for the human opponent. I think it's a beauty to fit someone who doesn't understand?

"I'm not going to put it that hard. I suggest you think about it first. You'll see."

If you think about it, you'll find out.

You can let me know if you know the answer.

No, is it a mistake to ask for an answer easily? Sometimes it makes sense to think.

"Okay. I'll think about it. So.

Are you going to tell me about my magic today?

Just give me the information, and I'll have trouble saying yes.

All I need is information about this magic.

If I don't at least get it under control, I'll have trouble when it does.

There were a lot of changes when we defeated the Predecessor, but he soon returned to the way he had been.

I've tried it several times since then, but not once as well.

Instead of questioning the screen instead, the screen is starting to appear almost as soon as I see my face. Gradually, but it's getting harder to handle.

So lately, even if word or earth information comes out, I try not to look consciously at it. Automatic activation is convenient, but mentally tough.

But I also have trouble making it unusable. I rarely get involved in local combat like I did when I was the first king, but I've never been able to use it.

Uncertain things can't be in the calculations. And I can't rely on things I can't control.

"I came with that intention. But the truth is, there's not much I can do."

"Dude, what do you mean......?

"Lelfa didn't teach you anything because in the end it needs your growth"

I knew it was that pattern.

It's not that I don't teach, it's that I can't teach. It's a mistake.

"Haa… So? What kind of growth do you need?

"Before I do, I need to explain the magic."

"Sure, I don't know much, so I need an explanation. What the hell is this?

My last wish was embodied, and it appeared on the screen.

Lelfa said it was something the world had given him, but he had no idea exactly what it was.

"Magic is something the world gives. Magic, in other words, is a" right to change the law ”. Witchcraft is a technology that allows you to do different things, but magic is something the world itself gives you."

"I mean, it's magic that's not allowed, is it magic that's allowed?

"By and large, that's the thing. The important thing is that the world embraces magic. There is a world resistance to witchcraft, and that is the limit of witchcraft. But it's not in magic. Because the world embraces it."

The lack of resistance means that there is no limit.

Although the wizards in the books were overwhelming, they all swept out of the magician's realm.

It's impossible for a magician, but it doesn't mean he's out of common sense like a relfa.

"If there's no limit, isn't everything supposed to be free?

"Of course. But you're human. The human body remains terribly fragile. I mean, I don't have a body. That doesn't change the wizard who came out of the ancient species. Compared to the great thing called the world, there is no great difference between ancient species and humans. If you use magic that ignores the law, it drains both spirit and flesh, and if you exceed its limits, death awaits you."

"Does the limitation of being a race exist…………………"

Can't you just do whatever you want and do whatever you want?

From a person's point of view, this is not the case compared to overwhelming or ancient species.

This means that even if I become a wizard, I will not be an absolute determinant of ancient species. In the first place, your power as a race is too different.

"Even so, magic is the power of digits. There is one condition that emerges. It's about affecting the world itself."

"The world itself…… for example?

"Magic is a recreation of magic. The secret tricks that our ancient species have used are similar, using technology to try to bend the laws of the world. And the more powerful they become, the stronger the impact they have on the world"

That's why.

Most of the wizards left in the book use magic like the development of witchcraft.

It seems that some manipulated the flames and ice and even the weather.

It was originally a powerful magician who switched to magic.

"There are three magical orders. Emergence, retention, sublimation. The phase of emergence reveals the power of magic as it is. Often it appears to a good sorcerer, whose most powerful sorcery turns into magic.

And the next stage of settling. It is a stage where the body begins to get used to magic and exercise it. Increases magic power and can withstand magical recoil. But you just can withstand recoil, and suddenly, you're not going to be a thousand warriors. Now you're at this stage. "

"I don't see any signs of that even though it's said to be at this stage?

"Normally, I would switch at once, but you kept holding my magic gear. That seems to have inhibited some change. But now that we've let it go, change will soon appear."

Is Klarus in the way?

But I'm pretty much looking out for that one, and more importantly, it would have ended a lot. You can't blame it on a boulder.

If I say so, Sophia's going to be mad at me.

"It's just that I don't have much time."

"You can enter the sublimation phase even if your body changes don't follow you"

"What do you mean?

"I just can't make it that far, and I won't have a problem with it for use. Probably."

The last word stirs my anxiety, but well, I guess Elfin doesn't know the guy who hasn't gone through the stage either.

Better than being told you can't use it at all?

"Okay. So? How do we get to the sublimation stage?

"Magic is something the world has embraced the consequences of its strong human thoughts. Sublime needs to be aware of the thought again.

To this stage, magic can become a wizard's thing and be manipulated as you wish. But "

I know the words that follow.

I'm not a magician.

Naturally, my influence on the world is not magic.

My last wish, my residual thoughts, was turned into power, and I was summoned to this world.

To the world, I'm impure. It would be unusual to say that the impact it has had.

"You're not. Lelfa told me. I'm not a magician, I'm not even a resident of this world. It's a move from world to world. The impact on the world is immeasurable."

"…… Do I have to hold equally strong thoughts again?

"The important thing is to realize for yourself the essence of the wish. And... it's about getting ready."

To Elfin's words, I put my neck up.

I don't know what to be prepared for.

"What am I supposed to be ready for?

"Do you think the world will faithfully fulfill your wish? For the world, magic is only a mutation. By the type of wish, magic can also be divided into various parts, but what we have in common is magic that has reached the stage of sublimation, which goes too far in wishing."

I go too far with my wishes.

Does that mean it is excessive?

Seeking tactical power, I became a strategic-class force, like.

"But if we go to sublimation, we can control it, right?

"Exactly. If it's a development from witchcraft, especially manipulating flames and ice, there's nothing wrong with it. But ancient species secrets aren't all that stuff. Something that acts on the spirit, something that interferes with different things. When they sublimate, they can manipulate people as they please, and they can interfere with unknown things.

Your magic is close to these. Your magic is "reflecting what you want to see” magic. If you want, maybe even the future. "

Reflect what I want to see.

I wanted to know more about the others, so can my magic reflect my status? Well, is it Omake who can look into all the other things, or is it also necessary to find out about the others?

Either way, according to my will, magic was shaped. So I know you need my will to make a change.

Although.

"I don't want to see the future..."

"I don't want to know either. But that's what your magic is all about. If you want to know a lot, be prepared and wish, you won't be sublimated."

"... I am not willing to want either immense power or powerful power. I just don't want anything more now if I have enough power to solve this situation."

"Nothing changes if you don't want anything. You can't even get the power you want unless you're ready for something and move on. Understand and accept the essence of the wish. And we must overcome our fear of past power and hope strongly.

Most of those who have been called wizards in the past have not reached this stage of sublimation. That's all it is. What makes magic your own thing? "

Elfin's words frustrate my motivation.

In the first place, can we once again hold the desire of strength almost equal to that of dying?

I've never thought of anything that strong.

I've never regretted it more than then.

Anyway, I thought that if I died, there would be no further way.

But there was beyond. It was in different worlds.

So, last wish, don't forget to regret, I've come this far.

I'm going to take care of my friends.

I've tried not to lose anyone anymore.

Fighting people for it, even getting out on the battlefield.

While thinking that is the act of driving people who have nothing to do with themselves to death.

"There's not so much time left. Guess we're going to a dinner party, huh?
