Chapter 152
Inside Mimir’s Book.
Libraries are so big that you can’t even hold out your business card.
On the sofa prepared in the center, as usual, Mimir was lying face down reading a book.
Crossing her legs rhythmically, she slowly reads the books brought to her by Shin Ha-yul as if savoring them.
As if the book he was reading was quite interesting, the movement of his feet was quite lively.
sigh, stag.
Inside the quiet library, only the sound of Mimir turning the pages could be heard.
‘… … Is this how it connects?’
The book Mimir is currently reading is a comic book.
It was a boy’s comic that Shin Ha-yul brought to him to read later if he was bored.
At the time, Mimir grumbled about why he had brought such a useless book, but once he started reading it, he couldn’t stop.
You can tell how much Mimir is into this comic book by looking at the number of books Mimir is currently reading.
[Wind Mage Volume 99]
There is only one volume left until the end. Now, the end of this long, long blacksmithing is beginning to appear.
Mimir’s feet, which had been moving excitedly, suddenly began to slow down.
Now, thinking that this cartoon is also over, he became depressed rapidly.
Of course, I’m not depressed that this manga is ending.
The 100-volume feature-length manga, The Magician of the Wind, is currently exuding an atmosphere of ending.
I haven’t seen the finish yet, but with this momentum, it should be a very good finish.
There was no reason to be depressed before a great finish.
There is another reason why Mimir is currently depressed.
‘If I grumble like that and ask for another comic book, he’ll laugh unconditionally, right?’
That’s right, I don’t know how to ask for a comic book to read next.
At first, when Shin Ha-yul brought the comic book, he sang that he didn’t need it.
Mimir’s pride wouldn’t allow him to ask for a new comic book now that he had enjoyed reading all 100 books.
‘… … eww.’
However, it is not possible to give up genres that have already been tasted.
Currently, Mimir is constantly torn between pride and pleasure.
That’s why I’m so depressed right now.
“Ehh.”
As expected, this is the end of Volume 99.
Now all that remains is the last one.
Mimir’s troubles deepened. Pleasure or pride?
It was when Mimir was immersed in agony with 100 books in his hands.
yes! yes!
Suddenly, Mana trembled violently, and Mana’s resonance sounded high.
“… … !”
It wasn’t Mimir who didn’t know that the resonant sound was a by-product of Aslan’s portal magic.
‘It’s only been 2 hours yet, already?’
Apparently, Shin Ha-yul has returned.
Mimir immediately hid the comic book he was holding in his hand.
I opened the book that was covered on the table.
Then, looking at the place where the portal was opening, he cleared his throat.
Soon, a human figure emerged beyond the fully opened portal.
“Did you come soon? succession… … .”
Mimir, as usual, was about to greet his servant calmly, but suddenly stopped talking and frowned.
“… … what. Why are you coming alone?”
It wasn’t Shin Ha-yul that appeared beyond the portal, but Aslan.
Mimir was a very, very uncomfortable man.
“Could it be that you left the heir alone on the page of the test?”
Mimir glared at Aslan.
The page of the fifth test is a place made by remodeling the ‘Labyrinth of Desire’.
Asran, who had left his heir alone in such a dangerous place, couldn’t be seen favorably.
“The successor is currently returning to his room.”
Of course, that was Mimir’s misunderstanding.
Asran knows better than Mimir that the labyrinth of desire is a dangerous place.
If Shin Ha-yul had remained on the page of the fifth test, he would never have come here alone.
That would go against the mission of Aslan, who was given the role of supervisor.
“Oh yeah? Then what.”
Mimir’s sharp expression softened somewhat.
Hearing that there was no danger to Shin Ha-yul, his rough heart instantly calmed down.
“But you sent it so quickly? I thought it would roll for at least 10 hours.”
“I was going to do that, but it spread completely within two hours. I sent it back to you to rest for now.”
“You should have returned it for that reason. I know you’re not a great person to send back to rest.”
Mimir feels uncomfortable with Aslan. No, she’s straight forward and it’s no exaggeration to say that she hates it.
That’s why Mimir knows about Aslan better than anyone else.
All the more because he hates opponents.
“If you are going to send the heir back in that situation… … see.”
Mimir quickly finished his thoughts.
“Is it because of the successor’s mana core?”
“… … As expected, Mimir knew. That the heir doesn’t have a mana core.”
Asran nodded her head a couple of times with an expression of ‘Okay then’.
“huh. Of course I knew.”
From the first time Mimir met Shin Ha-yul, he knew that Shin Ha-yul had no mana cores in his body.
“If you all knew, why didn’t you advise me to create mana cores?”
Even though he knew that the mana core would have a beneficial effect on his servant, Mimir did not advise him to create a mana core.
Aslan couldn’t figure out why.
“No, more than that, why did the mages of this era throw away the mana core?”
The presence or absence of a mana core shows a difference in magic efficiency of about 2 times.
How could such a mana core be abandoned?
Why did the mana core and mana circle become incompatible?
everything was questionable.
“Didn’t the heir tell you?”
“… … It seemed he didn’t even know.”
“Oh yeah? I’m surprised I thought the heir would notice right away. hmm. It was 100 years ago, so I didn’t even think about it that far?”
I thought it might be.
For Mimir, mana cores were essential for wizards,
To Shin Ha-yul, mana cores were the exclusive possession of useless knights.
I wouldn’t have thought to investigate. And, of course, you wouldn’t know unless you looked into it.
“hmm. First of all, to speak of the conclusion, the mana core and the mana circle are not necessarily incompatible.”
Mimir repeated the contents of all kinds of specialized books he had received from his servant Ha Yul.
“It is not the circle that is in conflict with the mana core, but the artificial intelligence AI chip that all modern wizards are implanting.”
“A.I… … AI?”
Aslan narrowed her eyes as if asking what that meant.
“hmm. To put it simply, it’s like a miraculous product that increases the efficiency of magic by about 4 times just by transplanting it.”
“4… … ship?”
At those words, Aslan’s expression turned to shock.
* * *
After asking Asran for his understanding, I returned to the room and immediately started investigating the mana core.
Why did the heavenly technology, which showed a whopping doubled increase in magic efficiency, become useless?
The reason was thoroughly investigated.
“… … It was something like this.”
The reason was found sooner than expected.
“The exclusion of mana cores due to the development of AI… … .”
The mana core was in conflict with the AI chip, not the mana circle.
To be precise, it should be said that it is in conflict with the ‘mana circle’ of the wizard implanted with the AI chip.
I just read a paper from 98 years ago that I just found.
[The increase in magic efficiency that can be obtained by possessing a mana core is doubled on average.]
[On the other hand, the increase in magic efficiency of artificial intelligence AI chips is 4 times on average.]
[It was inevitable that the wizards threw away the mana core.]
This happened about 100 years ago.
Magic has been replaced by modern magic from old magic, and mana cores have also become a product of the old world.
And just like the old magic was abandoned, the mana core was also abandoned, becoming the exclusive possession of the knights.
It was roughly like this.
‘… … Why didn’t I know this?’
For one year before becoming a nonconformist and obtaining the Bytenor expression.
I tried everything I could to find a way to revive the old magic.
really learned a lot
It was then that he learned information about abandoned magic, including Memorize.
However, I just knew about the mana core for the first time.
It was a blind spot.
In the modern magical society, creating a mana core was a taboo for wizards at the level of turning mana into their brains.
So, of course, I didn’t even think to investigate.
He didn’t even pay attention to it.
‘If only I had known this… … .’
Wouldn’t my 1 year have changed a little bit.
When I thought so, I felt sick to my stomach.
‘No. What wouldn’t have changed… … .’
The magic efficiency increase of mana core is ‘average’ twice.
The power increases by about 2.5 times, the gathering power increases by about 3 times, while the casting speed increases by 1.05 times.
In other words, my magic activation speed, which was my fatal flaw, would not have changed.
I was saying that my one year would not have changed in variety.
It’s because the casting speed that took 10 seconds to become 9.5 seconds doesn’t change anything.
‘Thinking about it now, what I found were ways to solve the magic activation speed. No wonder he doesn’t know about the mana core.’
In finding a way to solve the magic activation speed, there was no way that information about the mana core would come out.
I smiled bitterly and closed the thesis.
‘Anyway, the question has been resolved.’
Asran said that the mana core and mana circle are in a mutually beneficial relationship.
It was the AI chip that rebelled against the mana core, not the mana circle.
‘This means that there is no problem even if I create a mana core.’
I am a non-conformist who cannot receive an AI transplant.
As long as there is no AI, there is no problem generating mana cores.
‘Looking at the laws and rules that mana cores work on mana circles, they won’t exert such a variety of effects on my infinity circle… … .’
The reason why the mana core and the mana circle synergize with each other is because the mana core activates the body and dramatically increases the processing speed or rotation speed of the mana circle.
However, the infinity circle activates the body by itself, and accordingly, the processing speed and rotation speed of the circle are already close to the best.
That’s why, even if I create mana cores, it won’t be twice as efficient.
‘Still, the efficiency will increase by 1.1 times if it is less and 1.2 times if it is more.’
10% to 20% efficiency increase.
It looks small compared to 2x, but this is also terrifyingly large.
Right now, the increase in magical efficiency of S-class artifacts is about 7% to 9% on average, so that’s all I said.
‘good… … . Then go back to the page of the fifth test and create the mana core first.’
My heart races.
How does it feel to find money in an unexpected place?
I quickly closed the laptop and opened the book of Idred.
And just when I was about to head to the page of the fifth test.
“ah.”
Suddenly, Master’s robe was placed next to the table.
The ‘Ray Bell Bytenor’s Robe’ caught my eye.
‘I almost forgot again.’
I kept forgetting about more important things.
‘I have to go to Mimir’s office and hear about real magic first.’
Information on the original magic of the Bytenor style, which Mimir called ‘real magic’, and information on the real power of Master’s robes, etc.
There were many things to ask of Mimir.
‘Go to Mimir’s Book, then return to the page of the fifth test.’
I decided on the route and closed the book of Idred.
Then, holding up the master’s robe that was placed next to it, this time, he opened the book of Mimir.
With a familiar reversal of vision, I moved to Mimir’s side.
“Come on. successor.”
Mimir greeted me as I entered Mimir’s Book.
It stands still in front of me, as if it knew I was coming.
“Mimir. I forgot to ask last time… … .”
“huh. I know what you mean.”
Mimir said with a small smile.
“Did you come to hear about mythic magic?”
“… … mythical magic? Is that the official name for the magic you described as ‘real magic’ in the past?”
“huh. that’s right. mythical magic. It is a magic that boasts even more overwhelming power and output among the unique magics of the Bytenor type… … .”
Mimir’s eyes emitted a brilliant light.
“It’s magic that can recreate the myth.”
