"What kind of spell is this?" Claude asked, looking at the dazzling white light ball at the ceiling. This light ball was really like an energy-saving light bulb in the previous life. Now the entire hall was illuminated by this light ball. I just don’t know how long this light ball can last. If it lasts for a long time, it would be really good to learn to use it as lighting at night.
"Pearl of Light." Your Lady replied: "Actually, this is just the Light Technique that evolved from the combination of Light Technique and Illumination Technique. It was called the Autumn of Light at first, but later Sterling VI disliked the name as not good-sounding. Changed to Pearl of Light.”
Claude was a little confused, what are you talking about? Sterling VI changed the name of the spell because he disliked the name. Isn’t it because all the kingdoms in the continent are very taboo on magic? Everyone who sees a magician beats him to death. Why is the king of the kingdom? But it has something to do with magic, and judging from your serious expression, it seems that this is normal. What is going on? Is the magic taboo you know just a lie
Seeing Claude's confused expression, the lady finally laughed: "Put down your guard and put away your thoughts of murder and silence. Young man, I forgot that this is the southwest. It’s a remote corner of the kingdom, not the royal capital, so I opened my mouth to reveal your identity as a mage. I’m very sorry for this. For you, hiding your identity as a mage is normal, and it makes you want to kill people and silence them. It’s really my fault”
"You mean, it's okay to reveal your identity as a mage in the capital." Claude heard the subtext of the lady's words.
The lady shook her head: "It's not what you think, young man. In fact, our kingdom, like all countries on the mainland, strictly prohibits magic. But this is only an attitude on the surface. In private, the mainland Every country has secret departments that research and learn magic, and our kingdom is no exception. In the royal capital, if children with magical talents are found, the kingdom will have a special department to organize them to learn magic."
"You can also learn magic openly?" Claude asked.
"It's not public. These children who go to learn magic just join a special department of the kingdom. Even if they learn magic and become official magicians, they have to serve the kingdom." The lady looked at Claude and said seriously: "Actually, you You did nothing wrong by wanting to kill someone just now, because the kingdom prohibits wild mages like you and evil magicians from Shigros Island. If you reveal your identity, you will indeed be wanted and hunted by the kingdom."
"It turns out that I am a wild mage." Claude was speechless. He dared to bear the label of such a wild mage on his body: "I understand, madam, it turns out that the kingdom wants to control those magicians under their control. Magicians like me who are not under their control are among their bans. Then Madam, can you tell me why you are sure that I am a wild mage and not an evil magician from Shigros Island?"
The lady smiled and pointed to the matchlock gun placed by Claude: "The reason is very simple. What the magicians of Shigros Island hate most is the musket. They will never touch the musket. This is even their biggest taboo. . Even the disciples they taught have inherited their view. They believe that if a mage picks up this demonic weapon, it means betrayal of magic. So although you are young, you carry If you walk arrogantly on the road with a musket, I will know that you are a wild mage and not someone who has the magical heritage of Shigros Island."
Claude nodded, knowing some common sense about magic: "Madam, I have two more questions. First, can you tell me whether you are a wild mage or a magician belonging to that special department of the kingdom? Second, how did you find out that I was there? A spell was used to stop the frightened horse."
"I am not a wild mage, nor am I a magician belonging to that special department of the kingdom." The lady said frankly: "If you really care about your identity, I think I should be a registered magician of the kingdom."
"Registered Magician"
"Not all people with magical talents will join the special department of the kingdom, and not all people with magical talents can join that special department. There are not many people who can actually join that special department, and they need to meet other requirements. Conditions, do you understand what I say?”
"Understood." Claude nodded.
