The four magical skills, two magical enhancements, need no further explanation.
Minori always felt that skills like "Magic Maximization" in "YGGDRASIL" were somewhat similar to "Metamagic Feats" in other games.
They were the kind of skills that you might not use, but couldn't be without.
Of the remaining two spells, one was a large-scale control technique, which Minori currently lacked the most as a crowd control magic.
The other, "Gravity Reversal," although only at the fourth tier, felt like a relatively practical skill, so Minori mastered it as well.
As for the "Earth Attribute Crystal Specialization" magic used by Evileye, Minori didn't learn it, as he didn't lack offensive magical means.
Moreover.
He didn't have the elemental mage class of "Crystal Specialization," so even if he learned it with skill points, it would only be a normal magical means in his hands, without any enhancement.
"Evileye still held back."
"Being able to obtain these four spells in that kind of battle is already not bad."
Minori walked to the window, gazing at the distant royal city gradually shrouded in twilight, his eyes flashing with a deep look, then he gently shook his head.
Evileye's truly powerful means were techniques like "Negative Energy Rampage." As an undead, she wouldn't lack dark attribute attack magic.
This type of magic had a great restraining effect on angels, but Evileye had never used it, probably to hide her identity.
Also, "Accelerated Magic Power Recovery" and other means were not revealed by Evileye.
At the same time!
"Blue Rose" Headquarters.
While Minori felt regretful for the limited gains, Lakyus and others were also discussing Minori.
To be precise, they were discussing this sudden and astonishing battle.
Gagaran leaned her sturdy body against the sofa, arms resting on either side, clenching her fists to make the thick muscle lines contract powerfully: "It really gets me fired up."
"Such a powerful and exciting battle, I can't wait to jump in and get a piece of the action."
"You muscle woman, you'd just be the first to get blown away," Evileye said indifferently, sitting on a single brown sofa not far away.
"What muscle woman? I'm a delicate female warrior."
Gagaran pouted, retorting loudly.
Unfortunately, her strong body muscles and the powerful veins on her neck all proved that Gagaran had nothing to do with the word "delicate."
"However, your intuition is indeed sharp."
"You saw so early that we few were not his opponents." As Gagaran said this, there was no trace of fear in her eyes, but rather a sense of eagerness:
"It's the first time I've seen a fifth-tier angel."
"It's completely the power of the hero domain, but if it's just two fourth-tier angels, I can probably hold them off for a while."
Gagaran retracted her left arm, opened her five fingers, and vigorously rubbed her chin, while recalling the battle in the royal capital, she spoke softly:
"Angel monsters have relatively simple methods."
"It's not a problem to resist with martial skills, but I'd still lose because I can't get close at all and would just be worn down."
"Hmph."
Tia emitted a flat hum: "Direct combat has never been the assassin's strength."
"It probably still wouldn't work."
"The monster beside him should be a means to prevent assassination and sneak attacks."
Tina shook her head, thoughtfully saying: "The monster's sense of smell, hearing, and perception are far stronger than humans. That hellhound's size isn't that of an ordinary hellhound, so it would only be stronger in that regard."
"I'm sorry, Tia, Tina, I didn't bring back the assassination equipment," Evileye suddenly said, with some embarrassment in his tone.
"It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"The opponent is so strong that it's not shameful for the assassination equipment to fall into his hands."
"With the opponent's strength."
Evileye said here, looking at Lakyus, who had been silent all along: "Among us, the only ones who can fight him independently are me and the captain."
"Ah."
Lakyus raised her head, a hint of wry smile appearing in her emerald green eyes, "Saying that makes me embarrassed. In reality, I probably wouldn't be a match for that Mr. Minori."
Evileye shook his head.
"No."
"Black Hair hasn't stepped into the hero domain… Well, saying that is actually a bit inaccurate."
"In terms of faith-based spellcasters, Black Hair indeed hasn't stepped into that realm."
Evileye pondered for a moment, then spoke seriously.
The fourth tier corresponds to level "22-28." People in the other world can't accurately judge levels like players, but they can roughly estimate them.
Evileye couldn't determine Minori's level in alchemy, so he wasn't sure if he had really stepped into the hero domain.
As soon as these words came out.
Lakyus and others clearly showed puzzled and surprised expressions.
"I know what you're thinking."
"Black Hair can summon fifth-tier angels, using the ability enhanced by a special magic like 'Magical Ascension.'"
Evileye faced the gazes of several people, speaking slowly and calmly, "It's a kind of enhancement method that can forcibly increase one's spellcasting level by one tier, similar to techniques like 'Magical Optimization.'"
"It's a rather rare ability, which is why I'm sure that Black Hair's faith-based level hasn't reached the hero domain."
Gagaran and others showed expressions of realization and surprise.
"As a woman who serves God, how can I easily admit defeat."
Lakyus muttered extremely weakly, a trace of flame flashing in her emerald green eyes, and suddenly raised her arm to cheer herself up:
"I won't easily admit defeat. In a year, I will step into the hero domain!"
As a true genius, Lakyus had never felt pressure like this before, especially since Minori looked about the same age as her.
All along.
Although she had never been complacent about her talent, she also had the pride of a genius and a strong person, or perhaps a bit of laziness that even she herself wasn't aware of deep down.
Senior Rigrit Bers Caurau arranged for Evileye to enter the "Blue Rose" she formed, perhaps to remind her not to be lazy.
But!
Lakyus had never felt such real pressure as today.
"I won't admit defeat—Mr. Minori!"
Faced with the suddenly excited Lakyus, Gagaran and the others looked at each other. Although they didn't know why Lakyus suddenly became so enthusiastic, they were happy for their captain.
They believed that Lakyus's talent could indeed achieve it.
A hint of a smile also appeared on Evileye's young face behind the mask.
"Wait a minute!"
Tia stared at Evileye: "According to what you said, if that guy raises his faith-based spellcasting ability to the hero domain, can he forcibly summon a sixth-tier angel?"
"What I mean is, is there really a sixth-tier angel?"
"Of course, magic has ten tiers."
Evileye opened his mouth: "Haven't I mentioned it before?"
Everyone shook their heads.
...
Night fell on the royal capital.
In the palace corridor.
Princess Renner lowered her head and returned towards the castle, maids on both sides bowing in greeting along the way.
Rarely.
Princess Renner did not respond with her usual amiable gentleness, but all the maids knew that Her Highness the Princess must be in a bad mood right now.
The events of the day had already spread throughout the palace.
Although this matter was stirred up by the two adventurer teams, "Blue Roses" and "Free Will", Princess Renner, as the inviter, was bound to be reprimanded by His Majesty the King.
Leinas and Climb followed closely behind Princess Renner.
Climb occasionally looked at the figure in front, his eyes filled with worry. The astonishing and terrifying battle he had witnessed today completely shattered his understanding of power.
He wanted to protect Her Highness the Princess with all his might, but he also understood that such a level was something he could not reach no matter how hard he tried.
That's why!
He must work harder and train harder.
Climb made a firm resolution in his heart.
The three arrived in front of a luxurious door.
"You two, go back first." Princess Renner stopped and turned to look at Leinas and Climb behind her, speaking gently.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Climb immediately bowed respectfully: "Please rest well."
Seeing Climb turn and leave, while Leinas remained standing in place, Princess Renner asked curiously: "Leinas, is there something the matter? Come in and tell me."
Leinas nodded, first raising her arm and pushing open the door.
Princess Renner raised her foot and stepped into the hall, but her shoulders suddenly stiffened, and a strange look appeared in her sapphire pupils, but it returned to normal in an instant.
Only to see!
On the sofa in the hall, sat a figure who had already left, who should not have appeared here at this time.
Minori sat on the luxurious sofa, holding a thick book that looked like a notebook, flipping through it. A glimmer of magical power flashed in his eyes from time to time.
"Deciphering Magic"
The arrival of Princess Renner did not cause Minori to look up at all, completely different from his previous display of courtesy.
It was as if the true owner here was not Princess Renner but him.
Faced with a situation that was enough to call the guards.
A situation that could be described as an assassination attempt.
Princess Renner not only did not panic, but instead a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she walked to the center of the hall, swaying her skirt, and sat down opposite Minori without any hesitation.
Seeing Minori still looking at the notebook.
Princess Renner did not disturb him, but instead picked up the magic tool thermos on the tea table, unscrewed it, poured out the red tea that was still steaming, and pushed it in front of Minori.
Then, she leisurely poured a cup for herself.
This magic tool can keep the temperature and quality of the drink inside unchanged for a period of time, and is one of Princess Renner's favorite magic tools.
Especially when entertaining distinguished guests, it is usually not used much.
Leinas also walked forward from behind, this time not standing behind Princess Renner, but standing behind Minori.
In the eyes of outsiders, if this were not the royal palace, they would really think that the true owner here was Minori.
The information recorded in the notebook was not much.
Minori finished reading it all without much effort. The information recorded above was all about adventurers, mainly "Orichalcum-ranked" adventurers, not only from the kingdom but also from other countries.
The most detailed record was of "Blue Rose", and his "Free Will" was also recorded, but with little information.
"Don't you mind?" Minori closed the notebook and put it on the table.
Princess Renner stretched out her jade-like fingers and tucked the golden hair in front of her forehead behind her ears, gently saying softly: "This is something Climb recorded."
"He usually likes to collect various hero tales, adventurers' adventures, and this kind of unknown heroic stories."
"This is Climb's self-proclaimed little hobby that is unknown to others, and the notebook in front of him is just a copy of Climb's records."
Of course, Princess Renner naturally did not say this, but Minori knew it, and some of the records inside also made Minori a little interested.
Princess Renner's beautiful eyes looked at Minori without any concealment, and she could not see the weak state of the other party after the battle not long ago, with excessive magic power consumption.
This could not be hidden from her eyes.
"Leinas will fully assist you in the future. In terms of money, I can also give you a certain amount of support. Some orphanages have already been injected with a certain amount of funds."
Minori did not say any nonsense, picked up the steaming red tea, took a sip, and said softly, "I am indeed not short of money at the moment. The treasure in the Ancient Fire Dragon Cave alone, if all converted into gold coins, would reach an astonishing level, enough to support a war."
"I am not interested in the throne."
"I know."
"Good." Princess Renner smiled brightly.
Tap.
Minori put the teacup on the table, looked at Princess Renner, and suddenly asked: "How much do you know about the Holy Kingdom?"
This meeting with Princess Renner was the result of Minori's careful consideration.
He does have a certain amount of vigilance towards Princess Renner, but before "The Great Tomb Of Nazarick " descends.
He is still confident that he can control Renner. In about three years, he also needs to use Renner's wisdom to achieve certain goals faster.
Otherwise, Princess Renner would be of no value to him.
As the red tea in Minori's teacup bottomed out, the subtle conversation between the two also came to a complete end.
"I wish you a good dream tonight, Your Highness Princess,"
Buzz!
Under Princess Renner's gaze, Minori's figure disappeared into thin air. If it weren't for the empty teacup in front of her, it would seem as if he had never existed.
"I should also say goodbye, Your Highness Princess." Leinas bowed slightly to Princess Renner and also turned to leave.
Click!
The door closed again.
"Mysterious Mister Minori."
The corners of Princess Renner's mouth on both sides turned up, her eyes staring at the sofa opposite, she picked up the magic tool thermos and filled Minori's empty teacup.
Then.
Princess Renner brought it over, her delicate lips touched the rim of the cup and took a sip, stretching her slender white swan neck, her rosy tongue sticking out to lick the corner of her mouth: "It's really delicious."
[TL: Damn]
