Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 114 Chapter

33 Crow

I checked the desk on the wall near Selena’s window. Well, no problem at all.

“…Ancient?”

Selena asked from behind.

“okay. “It was something I had to do at some point.”

“It was something that had to be done?”

“Because you have to report to Mangot.”

Selena looked at me quietly and her eyes widened.

“…So you’re telling me to make up a sentence and report it?”

“You can do that later. But for now, I will teach you the basics, so you can just convey them to Mangot.”

“Oh, you want me to tell you? At Mangot?”

“okay. “I will believe you only if you show me the real thing.”

I actually plan to teach Mangot ‘a little bit’ of the ancient language through Selena.

Only then will Mangot trust Selena and will consider my ability to interpret ancient languages useful.

“Tell it to Mangot as is. “I decided to teach you.”

“For what reason?”

“It doesn’t matter what. Any excuse is fine, such as that I have come to trust your escort abilities or that I can’t escape from your temptation. That’s the result Mangot wants anyway. “If you choose the right one and deliver it to Mangot, they will like it.”

“….”

Selena made a subtle expression as if she was having trouble answering. Well, both of them were the effect Selena was aiming for, but they are telling her to lie about it.

“…That Mr. Frontier. I have something to ask.”

“what?”

“Are you not trustworthy in my escort abilities? Let’s say the temptation was useless.”

Let’s just say it was useless.

It wasn’t polite, but it was an expression I liked.

I pulled both corners of my mouth upward.

“Reliable. very. That’s why I’m using you as an escort.”

“…When you smile, your eyes should also smile to make it more believable.”

“Right.”

I wiped my smile.

But I wasn’t lying. I highly value Selena’s fighting abilities. So after Selena, I was able to trust her and carry out somewhat unreasonable tasks.

“And you said, ‘It was useless,’ but that’s not what I think.”

“…yes?”

“But rather than facial expressions or body acting that don’t work.”

I saw Selena.

As I spoke the next words, something clearly appeared on my face.

“Now is better.”

Selena’s face became somewhat blank at my words. Then, he raises one corner of his mouth slightly. It feels like something is forced.

“…Are you just testing what I just said? “You learn quickly.”

“Now we can stop chatting. Let’s get started right away. “Sit at your desk.”

“Starting today?”

“of course. Enough time has already passed. If you fail to deliver a significant harvest to Mangot, you will be suspected.”

Selena hesitated again at my words, then walked over and sat down in front of the desk.

I took out the blank notebook on the desk and opened it in front of Selena.

“I will write down the words, so look carefully.”

“Words… Isn’t it important to teach them letters first?”

“impossible.”

Selena tilted her head, but it was easier to see than to explain.

I picked up the pen and let the mana flow. It was an application of acquiring aura.

Now that this has become possible, I can now teach Selena.

I wrote down two words with the same shape.

“How do the two words look?”

“…is it the same?”

Yes. Both sides of the word are seemingly exactly the same.

“You can use Selena’s Aura, right?”

“…yes.”

“Gather the energy in your fingertips and put it on the writing.”

Selena followed my instructions and placed her finger on the word on the left.

For a moment, Selena was startled and pulled her fingers back.

“…I can hear a sound.”

“Then point to the word on the right.”

Selena pointed to the right word this time.

“…I can hear sounds from here too.”

“What do those two sounds sound like? Does it sound the same?”

Selena shook her head.

“no. “It was a completely different sound.”

“Yes, that is a characteristic of ancient languages.”

Ancient language is the language of ancient wizards. As expected, ancient languages have magical properties. The pronunciation is contained within the text. So even though it appears to be the exact same letter, it can have different meanings.

“This is why ancient languages remain in written form but have not been interpreted until now.”

“…because the ‘voice’ contained in the letters disappears.”

I nodded.

A half-written text whose sound has disappeared. Of course it cannot be interpreted.

However, only ‘Frondier de Roach’ was able to intuitively guess the meaning just by looking at the letters.

We also discovered that the difference in sound is what completely changes the meaning of the same letter. After mastering it, Frondier was able to interpret the ancient language without having to use an auror.

Of course, since there were no Aurors, it was impossible to add a voice to the text, but it was possible to read existing text.

Even if it wasn’t a particularly constructive direction of revenge against Elodie, it was great talent and effort.

“So it is impossible to learn the letters first. Rather, you must first know the formula for combining them.”

“Formula….”

“Even if it captures sound, it doesn’t mean you can add any sound. Ancient languages draw ambiguous images over the words themselves. “Sounds can only be selected from among those images.”

Therefore, in ancient languages, you must first be able to divide the lines of the double or triple overlapping letters.

“Look at this. It looks like letters that have fallen, but they are connected by long straight lines. In this way, independent straight lines are meant to be superimposed on top. And…”

“I, Mr. Frontier.”

Selena interrupted me during class. How arrogant.

But Selena turned her very serious eyes towards me.

“Are you sure you don’t mind?”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you sure you don’t mind teaching me this?”

Selena looked at me with a very determined face.

Even with that expression on my face, my answer has been decided a long time ago.

“If you’re really planning on betraying me, you’d better not ask that question.”

Both the Indus and Cape Mango are huge forces opposing the empire.

If the Indus is the back side of the empire, Mangot is the backbone of the empire.

The fire does not go out until the karma disappears.

However, Selena will be the banner that controls Cape Bay’s endlessly burning flame.

I will make it happen.

Three days later, Constel was on his way to school.

I met a crow.

“….” The

crow

was sitting on the wall of a residential area. He was trimming his wings as if he had no interest in me.

…Yeah, probably not. Crows exist everywhere.

I started walking again.

About five steps.

[I still need to develop my eyes to see a little more.]

I stopped at those words and went back and saw the crow.

The crow put away his shameless act from earlier and stared straight at me.

“Gregory.”

[Yes, it’s me.]

“I thought I was stuck in prison.”

[of course. Dirty and safe, dirty and safe. But you can’t stop my abilities. My abilities are not magic. It is a bloodline ability.]

Prisoners of Etius wear restraints. The wearer becomes unable to use magic or Auror. But can the bloodline ability break through that restriction?

[But bloodline abilities usually don’t have lethal power. So the empire just shrugs it off and moves on. Or maybe the magic engineering hasn’t reached this point yet.]

“So, why did the prisoner call me?”

I feel embarrassed talking so seriously to a crow.

If possible, I wish you would tell me about your business as soon as possible.

[There is no need to be too cautious. Because I came to help.]

“It’s help.”

[I don’t know what you may think, but you are my lifesaver. Crows are animals of gratitude. how is it? Can you trust me?]

The crow in front of me flapped its wings as if showing off.

…What does it matter?

[I came here to give you information. This is important.]

“What is it?”

The crow bobbed its head left and right once. It seemed like he was checking to see if there was anyone around.

It seems like a really important story.

[Among the rumors spreading in Constel, there is one that I did not spread.]

“…!”

indeed.

This is truly a story that cannot be overlooked.

“…Someone else took advantage of that moment and spread another rumor?”

[okay. There is someone trying to profit from the chaos. Or you want revenge. Either way, he’s a dangerous guy.]

At the time, I was so busy being chased by so many students that I couldn’t think about it.

When so many untrue rumors spread, there are people who insert new things in between them.

“But is he dangerous simply by spreading rumors? “I think most people are just joking around.”

[Of course, that would be the majority. But think about it. In order to divert the attention of Indus, I invaded the imperial palace and manipulated the knights to divert the attention of the outside world. Still, I was caught by Kraken. Why do you think?]

“Why? “Isn’t it because the Kraken has excellent sensing ability?”

[Of course, Indus’ tracking ability is excellent, but if his detection ability was that great, I would have been caught a long time ago.]

“What do you want to say?”

When I asked, the crow’s eyes turned to me.

The bird’s eyes, whose emotions could not be read, were somehow creepy.

[There is ‘Indus’ among the Constel students. He passed on my information to Kraken.]

“…And he’s the one spreading rumors?”

[If I think right.]

My head was spinning.

It was only three days ago that I fought the Kraken. It already feels like I’m about to get caught up in another incident, and my eyes are as cold as a person who hasn’t been able to sleep.

“…I understand first of all. “Let me take a look.”

[Yes.]

I lost all my strength and trudged along.

And a crow climbed on my left shoulder.

“…What are you doing?”

[I’ll go with you too.]

“It’s heavy on your shoulders, so go away. “You can investigate on your own.”

[To enter Constell’s campus, it is difficult to use a simple crow. A freer investigation is possible only if the animal was tamed by a Constell student.]

“…So you’re going to pretend to be a crow that I tamped?”

[Pretending is not something I do. That’s what you do. Pretend you tamed this crow. Then the students and teachers won’t say anything.]

My eyesight got really dark and I covered it with my hand.

In Etius, like in Korea, the crow is a symbol of fire and also a symbol of a witch.

I say I’m trying hard to improve my image, but it seems like bad things are starting to pile up for Frontier de Roach.

[Then let’s go. I have never been to school. My heart is pounding.]

Caw- After babbling wildly, he cried wildly.

Do I have to tell other kids that I was timing something like this?

My shoulders are heavy.

Especially the left one.
