I stopped the carriage, to enter the forest from the paved road, and to prepare for camping at night.
Because a distance of approximately 60 km was covered while they ran for five hours, they deserve a rest.
If the fatigue accumulates in the horse any more, they will not proceed.
But, the supply base of the Empire is little more than 40 km away. It seems we will arrive tomorrow.
Lucie, while I took the horses into the depths of the forests to feed them grass, is struggling with the flint to set fire to the dry branches by the collected firewood.
「For elves、fire magic is hard after all」
Attribute magic, Although the internal magical power 《Odo》 with the magic power of nature 《Mana》 is used to activate it, attributes are adhered to the mana itself, there affinities exist.
It is roughly divided into six attributes, four of which are important since they are general use, but there are two that are one of a kind.
Earth・Fire・Wind・Water
For example, there are individual differences but if you see the standards of humans, the maximum appropriate value is 100.
Earth:40 Fire:40 Wind:30 Water:30
Which is what the amounts would be. While using Earth Magic, when the affinity is 40, the internal magical power《Odo》 will not respond to the mana of the Earth no matter how much is available, control after having gathered it will be awfully difficult as well.
The Existence of human beings themselves are not suitable for attribute magic. However, the affinity of the present me as an elf is as follows.
Earth:30 Fire:10 Wind:90 Water:70
To the same extent as being loved by the wind and water, earth is almost as weak as fire and can hardly be used.
When wind is at an affinity level of 90, if 1 of internal magical power 《Odo》 is consumed and the mana is called, 10 of Mana will be gathered. And, because control is also easy, almost all of the collected power can be used as magic.
But, in the case of fire affinity of 10, if 1 of internal magical power 《Odo》 was consumed and mana is called, 0. 05~0. only 1 power would be returned. Moreover, difficultly level of the control will jump over to nearly impossible levels. Even for me, most of the collected power will be lost.
Even for a first class magician, with an affinity level of 40, it is said that is the bare limit of the line necessary to even use magic.
「Because fire and earth are convenient、it is painful not being able to use。 Worst of all、in my time as a dwarf with a unique magic、or should the time as a Dragon be called」
Being able to do it is my strong point.
If I were to become a previous self, even compatibility will radically change.
Even so, Lucie is slow. It is free time, so I will go secure dinner.
Still, there is some of the soldier’s preserved food in the carriage, it would be better to save those.
「【Chikaku Kakuchou】」 [TLN: Perception Enhancing]
The internal magical power 《Odo》 is activated、it is merged with the mana of the surrounding wind。
My perception is integrated into the wind mana which spreads to every area that has air. With the brain’s current processing capacity and magical power, at the most a radius of 300 km is the limit, the area the perception can widen.
Indeed it is an affinity level of 90. Far from the wind mana not resisting when being called on, it even seems that it is lending its power.
「There is a deer.」
The enhanced perception caught a wild deer. And even a wild boar.
In addition, near a creek, some edible wild plants, and also mushrooms. Cranberries are looking good growing in the wild.
Above all……
「Is the tree in this forest maple!?」
Nature has smiled on me.
Maple is one of the most useful trees in the forest in that number. The characteristics of the wood, the heartwood is stiff, the skin is dense and resistant to impact. Most of all it is beautiful.
In addition to its use as wood, despite the limitations of winter, it is precious in subarctic climate zones like the district where we are……
「It is no good、a thought has gone to the direction of the day after tomorrow。 Food should be secured first.」
I set my eye on the big deer that was previously marked down by approximately 100 m. The reasons that deer was chosen, the line of fire goes on without obstacles, and second thing is that it seems to not move while absorbed in grazing off the grass.
I take a knife out from my breast pocket and at the same time apply body reinforcement magic.
Taking a stance for throwing, the spell formula for ballistic calculation is run. Then, the muscles of the entire body are perfectly controlled, throwing in an ideal form with absolutely no power loss.
Diving protection of the wind is applied to the knife.
With this, the influence of the crosswind will avoid the knife and the wind will not hit it from the side, it will not be subject to air resistance, and will reach the target with almost its initial velocity.
The knife is thrown out, as if tracing the simulated trajectory, it pierces the neck of the deer, blood gushes out of the deer from where it was struck in the carotid artery with the force of a fountain.
「Now then、shall I go collect」
I muttered while beginning to walk.
On the way to the deer, wild edible herbs and mushrooms found beforehand are secured, furthermore I filled a bottle with water from the creek. Never forget to remove the impurities with water magic. Sometimes raw water will be poisonous.
「Your life is not wasted.」
The deer has sunk into a sea of its own blood.
I pulled the knife stuck in the neck, and began dismantling on the spot.
