Episode 45.11
"Hyo hyo. I see I see. But you're aware that you might be barred from ever setting foot in Palcimo if you go with ."
"I got no more business with this town and dungeon once we conquered it."
"Hyo, hyo, hyo. Excellent."
Lecan grinned as well.
Then he recalled sothing.
"Oh yeah, I heard having you along will fill the role of one and a half people."
Jiza fell silent for a while. Then she asked with an oddly low voice.
"What does that an. You, what do you know."
"Era Morfes supposedly received two gifts from Mazara Wedepasha. One is a wand, and the other is a masterwork made with the help of Yacklubend. I wasn't told what it is."
"Who did you hear that from."
"My magic teacher."
"What's their na."
Lecan paused.
This elderly mage would likely go seek out Shira if he spoke her na. She'd definitely find out how Shira is an apothecary that lived in town of Vouka who was also said to be the Herb Saint's master. Knowing that alone isn't really a big deal, but it'd be obvious to Jiza that Shira is closely related to Mazara Wedepasha. Which could turn into a clue that leads to the fact that Shira is a detested undead.
"I'm not sure if I can disclose it."
"How is this master of yours related to Mazara-sama?"
Can't exactly tell her they're the sa person.
"Right, my master told . I'm to tell you that I've been initiated in ."
"What'd you say!"
Jiza looked surprised for once.
"Lecan-chan, did you learn from this master of yours?"
"Yea."
"You can use then, Lecan-chan?"
"Yea."
"Oh my goodness."
"What about it."
"Era Morfes-sama was bestowed the art of Ancient Word Magic by Mazara-sama."
"She did huh."
"Era was unable to wield Modern Word Magic passed down in Morfes Household well despite the enormous mana she possessed, but once she learned Ancient Word Magic, she gained enormous power. Era would then completely imrse herself in the world of Ancient Word Magic."
"I see."
"One day, thus spoke Mazara-sama. 'Don't get too crazy on it. Yes it's true that many spells of Ancient Word Magic are powerful, but Modern Word Magic also has a lot of handy spells. It's all about how you put them into practice. Don't narrow your world view now, you hear ?'"
"And?"
"Era talked back. 'But there is no Modern Word Magic spells that can surpass Ancient Word Magic in term of firepower.' And Mazara-sama said to her, 'That's the narrow mindset I'm talking about', and demonstrated an example of powerful Modern Word Magic in the form of . As Era had been fighting dungeon monsters all her life, she never entertained the idea of going up against an army. Era was awfully fascinated by and entreated Mazara-sama to teach her the spell. But she was unable to learn it."
"What? That's weird."
"No matter how much she practiced, the most she could cast was only 200 at once. According to Mazara-sama, it could not pass as unless she could cast thousands if not tens of thousands at once."
"Didn't seem like she was lacking mana or sothing."
"Apparently not. According to Mazara-sama, it was because Era was the type who used logic and reason to cast magic, whereas requires its user to cast magic instinctively and with extrely precise mana control."
"Ah. Yeah, sounds right."
"And now you are saying you have learned to cast ?"
"Got a passing mark at least."
"Would you show it to once."
"Fine by . Here and now?"
"You plan to burn down this whole forest? The townlord's soldiers are going to arrest you and you can forget about dungeon diving. No, let's save it for another occasion."
"Got it."
Jiza must head back to her lab and make preparations. She needs to inform their to-be companions too. But the board of directors might notice what Jiza is plotting if they don't move fast here. Hence they would go inside the dungeon in one day ti.
"Okay then, I'll walk around the town instead of diving in today."
"Yes, do that. Ah, right, Lecan-chan. There's one thing that's been bugging . Is the necklace hanging around your neck perhaps a . And a specially made one at that. Could you let have a quick look on it?"
Lecan took off the necklace and handed it to Jiza.
"I knew it. Lecan-chan. Would you tell how this cos to be in your possession?"
"We were ambushed by Jaira, an adventurer party, at Dungeon Ninae, they almost got us, but we won in the end. That was when a retired adventurer by na Jade entered the scene, their lives were spared thanks to him. The following day, they sent six platinum coins and this necklace as an apology."
"They went and did all that, huh. You see, this necklace was my creation."
"Hou."
