Subscriber of the Gods Episode 311
Episode 311. Let’s make a bet.
“Aren’t you coming too early? You spent too much money to come early.”
“What if I came late and missed it? You guys saw it too.”
Marteris looked solemn.
“The look of understanding on the spot. He asked us to attend, but it was something he might have finished on his own before we even got there.”
Everyone was silent at Marteris’s words. It was exactly as Marteris said. The overwhelming understanding and magic that Ethan showed on the spot pierced the core of the magic fortress.
How many people in the world are there who can perform magic simply by listening?
It might be possible to do simple magic, but this was one of the most complex and difficult magic fortresses on the continent.
If you want to set up that magic fortress alone, you should come quickly.
“Ethan Wickers, who I saw there, was amazing. He was just ridiculous. If he had just pretended to understand, we wouldn’t have known.”
“Because it completely penetrated the core.”
“But, Mr. Marteris, this is something we should actively help with. No matter how you look at it, it’s dangerous. If you do it alone, something big could happen.”
“You know, if something goes wrong, this entire Wickus estate will be blown away.”
“If that happens, not only will we all die, but the catastrophe will haunt the Chernkastel family for a long time.”
The wizards of Chernkastel looked uneasy.
The magic fortress is a huge magic.
Because it was a magic that weaved and weaved magic together to create one huge fortress, the weaving process was very important.
Even if numerous wizards gather together to cast spells, mistakes are bound to happen.
Can you install this massive spell alone?
No matter how much I thought about it, it was questionable.
“I heard that Ethan Wickus brought some magicians from the Magic Tower. They sell artifacts containing magic, centered around the magic they were researching at the workshop currently run by the Wickus family. They also offer other services. I heard that they also dye equipment.”
“What? Selling magic?”
“They say they sell artifacts with magic.”
“Isn’t that it? Oh, really, they’re guys who don’t have the pride of a wizard.”
“But you can’t just look at it that way.”
The wizard of Chernkastel briefly investigated the Wickus Estate on his way here. Of course, he already knew something about the Wickus Estate.
It was because the rumors I heard were all so incredible.
“The wizards that Ethan brought from the Magic Tower were said to be those who studied non-mainstream magic. They were said to have been obsessed with magic that was not recognized.”
At those words, Marteris’ expression turned serious. At one time, the wizards of Chernkastel were like that.
The Magic Fortress was a powerful magic, but because of that it was also an unconventional magic.
Because the difficulty was so high, the chances of success were extremely low.
People were only focused on installing the magic fortresses that had already been built, and did not dare to improve them to make them newer and more powerful.
The magic fortress had many flaws that could not be fixed.
The wizards of Chernkastel devoted themselves to research to compensate for such shortcomings.
Everyone said it was useless research.
Just like the wizards of the Magic Tower did.
“The more you dig, the more great things come out of it, really.”
“I am pleased.”
“Everyone is here.”
Ethan arrived while the wizards were chatting and greeted them.
“Everyone, come here. I’ll do it alone first.”
“Huh? You’re doing it alone?”
“You are my guest, so how can I personally help you? I will just ask you a few questions. In addition, please tell me if what I have done is the right thing to do.”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that. We’re here to help.”
“We will help you! We have heard the story. Count Ethan has done a great job. We did not know.”
Marteris told a story about the wizards of the Magic Tower.
It was quite a touching story. Since these people were thorough magicians, I could completely empathize with them.
Besides, I was in a virtually identical situation with the magic fortress.
I felt renewed respect for Ethan, who saved them. That was why I was determined to help him. After all, even Prime Minister Chernkastel had already given his permission.
But Ethan shook his head.
“I can build a magic fortress by myself. Or would you like to make a bet with me? Aside from this magic fortress, we need quite a few more hands. As you can see, we are short on wizards as we continue to develop.”
Ethan said.
“We also need veteran magicians, not just ordinary magicians. The skills of those who built the magic fortress of the Chernkastel family will be of great help to the development of our Wickus.”
“What kind of bet… are you suggesting?”
“This is a bet to see if I alone can establish a magic fortress in the center of this Wickers.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
At Ethan’s words, the eyes of the wizards of Chernkastel lit up.
“You’re really confident. Of course you’re confident, but… … Okay, then how much will you pay for the bet?”
One of the Cherncastel wizards smiled faintly and said:
“If I win this bet, I would like all the wizards of Chernkastel, including Master Marteris, to stay here for a few months and provide support for the magical aspects of Wickus.”
“Then, if the Count loses… … ?”
Ethan held out his hand in response to Marteris’ question.
“Is there anything you want?”
“Are you willing to listen to anything? If that’s the case!”
The wizard looked at Marteris.
“Please join us in researching the magic fortress at any time! That is our bet.”
Marteris said with a smile on his face.
“It’s not a difficult condition. Okay, I understand. Shall we start betting right away?”
Ethan stretched his body.
Then he immediately started taking something out.
These were all items needed to install the magic fortress.
“Ah, I was going to tell you about the core artifact… … but?”
Marteris, who saw the last thing Ethan took out, closed his mouth and trailed off.
It was the melody.
“Uh, how about that?”
“The Prime Minister told me to take it with me. Thanks to him, I think the energy problem has been solved.”
Marteris and the magicians were surprised that the chancellor had given them that melody, but they were even more surprised that Ethan already understood how to use the melody.
Given the prime minister’s personality, even if he were given a melody, he probably wouldn’t have told him how to use it.
That means you saw and figured it out for yourself.
What are the shortcomings of this magical fortress, and how should the melody be written to compensate for those shortcomings?
For a moment, the wizards felt uneasy about the bet they had proposed. Come to think of it, it was Ethan who had proposed the bet first.
Could it be that they were caught in the giant net that Ethan had spread?
But before they could even think, Ethan began his work in earnest.
‘The most important thing is location.’
It has to be exactly centered.
This way, the magic fortress can spread throughout the entire territory. However, there was no need to align it exactly in the center of the territory right now.
“We’ll adjust the location a bit. The Wickers Estate has a lot of potential for development, so it’ll expand in more directions.”
So Ethan chose the center, considering the size of the territory that would expand.
“Hey, are you saying we should do it here?”
“Levitation.”
As Ethan was about to begin work on the empty lot of the slightly lopsided Wickers Estate, Marteris used her levitation magic to see the entire Wickers Estate.
“her.”
Then he soon let out a sigh. If you call this place the center, then the territory extends far beyond that.
That was a huge improvement. Just looking at it made me feel like money was slipping away.
“How much do you plan to develop your territory?”
“As much as I can expand. That’s my plan.”
Marteris had no choice but to remain silent at the plan, which was larger in scale than he had expected. Ethan left the wizards behind and immediately drew a magic circle.
“Make this the center.”
‘The magic fortress is quite difficult. You have to concentrate.’
Eye of Horus, Waryongshi.
“Luca.”
“Ouch!”
Ethan summoned Lucas. Lucas, who had come out after a long time, climbed up Ethan’s arm to the top of his head and began to transfer mana to Ethan.
The wizards’ eyes widened when Lucas appeared.
“That, that thing! Isn’t that an ancient spirit?”
“That’s right, it’s an ancient spirit!”
The wizards of Chernkastel were surprised to see Lucas.
Lucas enjoyed the gaze and sat down on Ethan’s head, crying softly.
‘I have to use everything I have.’
Shaaaaah-!
Ethan, who received mana from Lucas, drew a magic circle without hesitation.
This magic circle I am drawing now is a rough sketch on a huge piece of paper.
Starting with this magic circle, we start drawing the big picture.
Swish-. Swish-. Swish-.
In an instant, a central magic circle was drawn and branches began to spread out. There was no hesitation in Ethan’s movements.
“Do you already have it all in your head?”
That means the blueprint already exists.
The magic fortress must have different characteristics for each city where it is installed. Therefore, it is not possible to copy the magic fortress seen in the Chernkastel territory.
Because it doesn’t fit on the ground.
Based on the framework of a magic fortress, you have to customize it to fit your territory, but this was actually the most difficult process.
But this process has already ended.
“Aren’t we at a historic moment right now?”
“I think that Ethan could take the magic fortress to the next level… no, I’m sure of it.”
Everyone was thrilled by the installation of Ethan’s magical fortress.
Even as they watched in awe, Ethan was quickly setting up his magical fortress.
He was completely absorbed in magic and had no other thoughts, just focused on setting up the central fortress.
Create one and weave it, then create another and weave it. The point was to weave the magic so that it didn’t overlap. In the process, the magic circle had to be fused so that the effects of the magic could be maximized.
Ethan was able to weave and dismantle these magics because of his experience as a grave robber in Mephans.
As a grave robber, you will receive huge rewards whenever you dig up the tombs of great men, who are usually covered in numerous magic spells.
It is said that there are numerous devices, including magic and artifacts, to prevent grave robbery.
Ethan had unraveled the device countless times.
If you can untie it, you can tie it.
Ethan continued to weave his magic.
Dozens, hundreds.
After five hours, hundreds of magic circles had been woven together from the center where the magic circle was first drawn.
The wizards of Chernkastel smiled faintly at the sight.
I know because I’ve made them too.
What they are doing is magic, but at the same time, it is art.
Ethan listened to the melody, sweating as if he had been hit by rain.
“This bet.”
And then slowly placed the melody into the central magic circle.
“I think I won.”
Shaaaaaaaaaaah-!
Energy was supplied to the magic circle, and magic was cast with a loud noise.
Soon, the magic spread out from the central magic circle and shot into the sky, then spread out like a net.
It was the moment when the magic fortress was installed in the Wickus estate.
