Subscriber of the Gods Episode 306
Episode 306. I Understood
The magic fortress was a massive undertaking that required numerous spells, artifacts, and even potions.
The elite magicians gathered here had long discussions based on the knowledge they had accumulated over a dozen years, and were able to create a huge magical fortress in the Chernkastel territory.
That’s why I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at Ethan’s words.
No matter how great Ethan was, this vast amount could never have been passed down orally.
“Ha ha ha ha ha-!”
“As expected, Count Ethan is very confident! He has definite skills!”
“You’re also good at telling jokes!”
“I can’t help but laugh more when you say that with such a serious face!”
While everyone was laughing, Ethan also smiled faintly.
But soon his face became serious.
“I’m not joking. You really don’t have to write it.”
“So, Count Ethan, you can really memorize all of this? If it were something you could convey verbally, we would have just conveyed it verbally.”
“If it doesn’t seem possible, I’ll tell you. Then, write down your theory on parchment.”
Ethan said.
“So, let’s give it a try.”
“… … .”
At Ethan’s serious voice, Marteris folded his arms and met the eyes of the other wizards. The other wizards also shared Marteris’s opinion.
Ethan’s claim that he would listen to and memorize this vast amount of information was nothing short of ridiculous.
But Ethan is showing such confidence.
Besides, he said that if it didn’t work out, he would tell him directly. Marteris decided to do as Ethan said.
Once you hear it, your mind will change in no time.
I could be sure.
“Then as Count Ethan said.”
Ethan and the wizards entered the hallway.
It was a place where a silent magic called Silence was spread.
It was completely sealed off from the outside world, so no sound could ever escape from here.
“I’ll tell you about the theory, the production, and the overall installation method. Since we all have different areas of expertise, everyone here will explain their areas of expertise in order. First… … .”
First, Marteris explained the core theory of this magical fortress.
The basics of a magic fortress was to push away any enemy you wanted, in any way you wanted.
This was because the purpose of defending a fortress was not to kill the enemy, but to prevent them from invading in the first place.
“The spell is set up to expel intruders twice: once from the outside, and once from the inside if they are already inside.”
It wasn’t made of just one magic. It was a complex great magic circle where many magics were intertwined, so that even if one magic was destroyed, another magic would fill the gap.
“It consists of a total of 77 magic spells… … and it was officially named the 77 Composite Great Magic Circle. Of course, there were various names for it, but the Prime Minister strongly pushed for it.”
Marteris spoke about the magic he was in charge of.
“First of all, this is a theory, but if you want to use it practically… … .”
A very long and drawn out explanation followed. Marteris alone continued to speak for about 30 minutes, but the technology was so vast that it was difficult to understand even if he only talked about the theory.
Marteris also knew this well, so he planned to give a brief explanation for 30 minutes and then demonstrate it himself.
“Okay, then let’s get straight into the real thing. You have to remember the theory and go into the real thing to fully understand it, so focus a little more… … .”
“Oh, I understand.”
“What? What did… you… say… a cow?”
“understand.”
Before Marteris could finish speaking, Ethan began to draw a magical spell.
“That’s the basics.”
Marteris looked at Ethan with astonishment.
It is not something that can be understood through theory alone. You must see the drawn technique with your own eyes and learn the theory based on it to understand it.
“And then, by putting this together like this, you know, what does it feel like?”
‘I already knew that. I just didn’t know the detailed mechanism. The real exhaust is definitely different.’
I already knew about the theory of building this magic fortress. I just didn’t know the details.
It was easy to understand because they added detailed production knowledge to their existing knowledge. However, it was quite a shock to them.
“Uh uh… … .”
Only then did the wizards realize that Ethan was sincere when he said he had memorized everything.
Ethan continued to listen to the magicians’ theories and draw out spells, continuing to cross-check with each other.
It took time at first, but as Ethan gradually understood the magics, the speed at which he could convey the theory increased.
“understand.”
“No, I haven’t finished explaining it yet… … .”
“Isn’t the back part like this?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
As the theory was quickly passed on, the wizards looked at Ethan as if they were possessed by a ghost.
The expressions on their faces, which had been initially shocked, now changed to looks of wondering if this was right.
“Is this right… … ?”
In the meantime, Marteris, unable to hold back any longer, blurted out everyone’s thoughts.
No one would have thought that this vast amount of theory and knowledge could be conveyed in less than half a day.
But I did it.
“The materials that went into it are considerable. It will take some time to make the artifact, but with this, I have definitely learned how to make a magic fortress. I will have to make it myself to find out, but for now, I understand it.”
Marteris’ words that he understood now sounded a little scary.
“Thank you for your advice. Would you be able to join us in building a magic fortress on our territory?”
All the wizards, including Marteris, nodded at Ethan’s words.
“Of course we should! We will all attend.”
Now I’m really curious.
I wonder if the knowledge they had imparted in such a short time was properly passed on to Ethan.
And how complete will the magical fortress that Ethan will create be?
“Then I will contact you.”

“It’s strange. It’s truly strange.”
The Magic Empire.
It was a dark night, but the blue moonlight streaming in through the window brightened the room as if the sun had risen.
There were three people in beautiful clothes sitting at a long table.
Two men and one woman.
The aura emanating from them was so ominous that it filled the room.
The core of the dawn meeting.
These were the top apostles.
“I summoned all the apostles to deal with the saint. But is this all they have come for?”
“There are apostles who have not yet come, but it seems that there are apostles who will never come. 1 Apostle.”
“Even if they are lower-ranking apostles, they are not the type of people who would die easily. But they are also not the type of people who would easily make a mistake that would lead to their death.”
“What’s your last report?”
A figure wearing pitch-black clothes that clung tightly to them appeared in front of them.
“I will report to you, Apostle.”
The three apostles were impressed when they received a fairly thick piece of parchment.
He unfolded the parchment and read through its contents in a flash.
“… … This is strange? 1st Apostle, 2nd Apostle. The situation is flowing so strangely. There is a name that appears in common… … The Apostles are dying around that person. If you get involved with that person, your whereabouts will disappear from then on.”
The first and second apostles quickly raised their hands.
The two apostles unrolled the parchment with a gesture of their hands and read the entire text in a matter of seconds.
“Ethan Wickers, you bastard. You’re ruining our cause.”
“In the end, interest does the work.”
It was a tone of voice that seemed to indicate that he had already known from the beginning.
“The connection to the Chernkastel prime minister has also disappeared. The Chernkastel family, which should have been in turmoil due to his death, is now unharmed.”
“That means death has disappeared.”
“The soul gathering is practically a failure. It’s just not enough.”
The expressions of the three apostles hardened.
“We can’t leave this place empty.”
“The three apostles.”
“I guess I should go. Apostle 1, I’ll take care of it cleanly and come back, so please focus more on chasing the saintess. If I lose the saintess here, it will be a regret for eternity.”
“If the three apostles go over to the Holy Empire, that’s not the only thing they have to deal with. The failed ones are on the move.”
“You mean the roses?”
“That guy named Ethan Wickers is Rose’s failure. No, I should say he’s her only success.”
“… … A success?”
The three apostles made impressions.
“It’s something that is neither here nor there. It couldn’t become a vessel of God, but it didn’t die.”
“Did you know?”
“I was watching. I thought Rose had been supporting me until now. But it seems not. Something is different.”
The feeling the apostle spoke of was a simple intuition, but it was close to certainty.
Because the superhuman powers he possessed were of that type.
“The difference is… … that this wasn’t done with the support of the Roses, but by Ethan Wickers alone?”
“perhaps.”
The second apostle also nodded in agreement with the first apostle’s words.
“But now, it is more likely that Rose will support him. Rose must have already known. How the results of their work have grown now.”
The two apostles stood up from their seats with a “hmm.”
“Those who live intoxicated by past glories are the ones who will block our path. Should we call it coincidence or fate?”
“I will take care of it myself and come back, so please take care of the saintess. If we capture the saintess, our plan will reach its final stage.”
* * *
“Please tell them to forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.”
“No, Grandpa will understand. And he will be very grateful. Don’t worry. He is very busy now, just like before.”
Chancellor Chernkastel is the chancellor who oversees the administration of the Holy Empire.
It is said that until recently, he was dying of illness, and that there was even talk of the Emperor personally coming to the Chernkastel estate.
“His Majesty the Emperor has cancelled his visit. He must go and explain the whole story, and he must be busy in many ways. When things are over… I think he will repay you properly.”
Nadia nodded.
This was truly a matter of life and death for Nadia.
“Thank you so much. Really. You are like a benefactor who saved my life. No, you saved not only mine, but also my mother’s life.”
Nadia said.
“I’d like to introduce you to my parents. Is that okay?”
Ethan nodded at Nadia’s words.
“I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a quick look around and say hello.”
“……yes!”
-Your chances of survival increase!
-The survival probability has reached its limit and will not increase any further.
‘……huh?’
I couldn’t figure out why she came, but it seemed like it was because Nadia had a strong confidence in herself.
“Before that, Grandfather opened up the treasure vault, so let’s stop by there first!”
Nadia said in a cheerful voice.
