: Celestial Magic: Model Garden (4)
“The Alliance’s Conjugated Liquor. Let’s kill the apostles…”
Kamrodal, the 8 apostle we met on the way to Yorta. I remember the League’s liquor that he mentioned while manipulating the body of an apostle.
Did you say that the conjugation master fought head-on with the apostle and ruined his body to the point where it could not be revived?
“I have heard of the name Sulju. “I understand it is a term used to refer to the owner of a specific spell within the alliance.”
[The joint master is one of the four great masters who make up the Great Connection of the Alliance.]
Oliveira said.
[It is said that among the master’s masters, he has the most unique and heterogeneous technique, and his last martial arts is also unrivaled among the masters of the same class.]
“….”
[As a special-type magician, he has a unique personality and moves independently from the alliance. It used to be this way, but there are quite a few people who think it’s surprising that he was in charge of the first gate.]
It’s a great connection.
That clearly refers to the Spell Federation’s ultimate goal of linking all the spells in the world into one.
Was the conjugation master one of the key magicians who formed the alliance’s great connection?
[Due to the existence of the left and right joints, it is not easy to approach the gate and steal the fragments of the veil.]
Oliveira said, shaking his head.
[Currently, Ganja has been sent to the first gateway to monitor the situation so that he can wait for the report to come in.]
“….”
Oliveira has already moved his subordinates and instructed them to collect information about the fragments of the veil at the first gateway. Did you do it?
That would be possible because I decided how to handle things before visiting the Dark Library.
Considering the difficult nature of the joint master and the harsh environment and situation at the ability gate, it is not impossible to understand the fact that work cannot be promoted immediately.
We must not forget that the process of obtaining the celestial magic from the Dark Library was so smooth that we were momentarily mistaken, but it was actually because we met Naoise Fen.
When Lennok stepped back for a moment with an expression of understanding, Oliveira winked at Clarisse.
[If the job fails, of course you will have to take action yourself, even if you don’t want to. Right now, let Clarice focus on learning astronomical techniques.]
* * *
Area 49 of the megacity Balkan. The magic tower of fastness.
Midnight, close to midnight.
Standing facing Lennok in the deserted underground cave of the Magic Tower, Clarisse opened her mouth.
“Celestial magic is a mediating magic created to arbitrarily manipulate the movements of stars and celestial phenomena. “It is the power to create a kind of test bed, so to speak.”
Paaaa!!
At the same time, a model celestial sphere unfolded in the dark underground cavity and began to rotate with faint starlight.
Clarisse, who had a model celestial sphere floating above her head, spoke with a complicated expression.
“It would be a great help to magicians who can’t make their own boards, but you are different.”
“….”
“I know. You already-”
[Oops.]
At that moment, something appeared behind Clarisse and grabbed her head.
Clarice jumped up on the spot and her shoulders shook heavily.
“~~~!!!!!”
There is no scream, perhaps because his head has been eaten, but you can guess how surprised he is just by looking at his body language.
Lennok, who was watching silently, opened his mouth to the baby dragon that bit off Clarice’s head.
“I know it’s nice to see you, but I have something to talk about, so please let me go.”
[Bow.]
The pure white baby dragon opened its mouth with a sullen expression, and Clarisse hurriedly pulled her head out.
“Choklkokkolok!! “What is it…!!”
“My guardian spirit beast was rude.”
Lennok said as he pulled out a towel from subspace and threw it to Clarice.
“It seems they are excited to meet similar people.”
“You mean the guardian spirit beast?!”
Clarice then suddenly raised her gaze and looked at the guardian spirit beast.
The appearance of a fat baby dragon snorting while looking at Clarice with bright eyes.
[Fuuuuu.]
“That’s ridiculous. “A dragon species was chosen to be the guardian spirit beast of the tower…”
Clarisse muttered in bewilderment as she looked at the pure white baby dragon.
“I don’t know what kind of technique must be used as the foundation of the tower to make something like this possible.”
“He’s usually shy, but this is the first time I’ve seen him bite off the head of someone he’s met for the first time.”
Lennok added with interest.
“It seems he feels quite friendly towards you.”
“…Are you saying that is an explanation for the current situation?”
Clarisse lamented, touching her forehead tiredly.
“I didn’t notice anything at all until this child approached me. “I almost brought the main body.”
“Anyway, if you want to teach me celestial techniques, you will have to summon the main body.”
Lennok said and nodded.
“For that purpose, the underground cavity of the Magic Tower was left empty on purpose. “It doesn’t matter if you start right away.”
“….”
Clarice shook her head as if the conversation was not working and looked down at the baby dragon lying on its stomach.
[Huuuung.]
“Really…”
Clarisse looked at the baby dragon with a troubled expression, then sat down and touched its belly as if it had no choice.
“You’ve only caught the bad habit of being rude and being cute. “Have you not taught this child any manners?”
“Isn’t it hard to be persuasive to talk while massaging your belly so hard?”
“….”
[Arururrung.]
The appearance of a baby dragon making a happy sound while touching its belly.
Lennok nodded, looking at Clarisse smiling.
“If it’s okay with you, I’d like to ask you to take care of this guy while I go up and down the tower teaching him celestial techniques.”
“Did you call me to the Magic Tower for this from the beginning?”
Lennok could have taught astronomical techniques in the research building located at the cartel headquarters, but Lennok insisted on calling Clarisse to his magic tower.
It was only after encountering the presence of the guardian spirit beast in the underground cave of the Magic Tower that Clarice realized Lennok’s intentions.
“It’s my guardian spirit beast, but I don’t really know what Yongjong is thinking about on a daily basis.”
Lennok said as he looked at the baby dragon rolling on the floor with sparkling eyes.
“The magic system I created is a very special concept of magic… It is honestly difficult to know what priority the guardian spirit beast has based on that image.”
“….”
The Ouroboros magic system is a perpetual motion machine designed by Lennok that uses imperfection as its power.
It is the limit of convergence that dismantles, absorbs, and devours all the laws and techniques that exist in this world.
Lennok’s guardian spirit beast is a spirit beast born based on the Ouroboros magic system and the mysterious material [Phoenix Hall] of Blaver’s predecessor’s magic tower master.
However, because it was based on an incomplete concept that even Lennok could not fully understand, the existence of guardian spirit beasts was also something that even Lennok could not fully understand.
Wasn’t it also a coincidence that I discovered that the subconscious of the Ascendant’s Manual was connected to the guardian spirit beast’s consciousness?
“It follows humans well, but it is unknown whether that emotion comes from the source of the Guardian Spirit Beast.”
“That’s…”
“If you are a Jangsaengjong, there will be no problem with minimal communication. “I would like to ask you a favor about that.”
Although it is said to be a guardian spirit beast that protects the tower, its strength and size are still those of a weak baby dragon.
As a guardian spirit beast based on the Ouroboros magic system, it has a strong appetite and good absorption rate.
In reality, it is unknown what form the guardian spirit beast will grow into during the process or what kind of power it will desire.
Lennok was thinking of asking Clarisse for advice on that very matter.
“…I can’t help it. “As long as I’m going to and from the tower while teaching astral techniques.”
Clarisse stood up while stroking the baby dragon’s head, her eyes shining quietly.
“Then, let’s start the lecture on the Astronomical Technique right away. “Could you please step aside?”
“Of course. “If you don’t want to be crushed to death, come this way.”
Lennok said so and lifted up the guardian spirit beast with his magician.
Clarisse sighed as she looked at that and muttered, raising her spirits.
“I’ve already learned only bad things from Oliveira.”
Paaaa!!
Clarisse’s true body descends once again into the dark underground cavity.
The shape of a gigantic divine beast with clouds covering its entire body and emitting a mysterious light.
[…?!!!!]
The guardian spirit beast that was hanging on the magician opened its mouth wide as it saw the divine beast that suddenly appeared.
Did the guardian spirit beast look shocking in the eyes of the guardian spirit beast, which was so large that it filled the underground cavity?
“The model garden is a type of legendary ancient magic whose name has been passed down from time to time among the Jangsaeng species.”
Clarisse said as she floated the celestial magic book in front of her eyes.
“You can guess from the fact that the Spell Federation is aiming for it, but there are many interesting secrets about this technique. “Let me tell you one of them-”
“Are you saying that the miniature garden is a force close to the source of the magnetic realm?”
“….”
Clarisse lowered her gaze as if momentarily surprised.
The giant divine beast and Lennok had to tilt their heads back halfway to make eye contact.
“I heard about him at Nox Biblio. “I understand the concepts and fundamentals of astronomical techniques, so it’s okay to skip them.”
“…okay. But that’s not the only thing I was trying to say.”
Shinsu cleared his throat and slowly tilted his neck back and spoke.
“Regardless of the fact that the model garden is presumed to be the source of the magnetic field, the two technologies have many differences from each other.”
“….”
“From the perspective of the modern art world, the efficiency of a model garden is so low that it cannot be compared to an area. That’s because model gardening is not a specialized ability for image imprinting in the first place.”
“Are you saying that it can only be used to interfere with the veil by twisting it?”
“no. The true value of a model garden lies in the ability of the practitioner to arbitrarily adjust the rules within the model garden.”
Clarice’s eyes lit up as she said that.
“A magnetic field based on fundamental imagery. An area that projects the user’s ideal world. “Both are powerful techniques, but ultimately have limitations in that they operate regardless of the user’s will.”
“….”
“But a model garden is different. “Depending on what materials and catalysts are put into it, a miniature garden can literally become a miracle that indirectly manipulates reality.”
I understand why Clarisse emphasizes the importance of astronomical techniques at this point.
That was probably to make Lennok completely understand the concept of actually twisting the veil by putting the fragments of the veil inside the miniature garden.
However, apart from that, it was quite interesting to know that the concept of a model garden itself is a power that can be adjusted according to the will of the user.
Since it is a concept that is more primitive and closer to the source than the magnetic realm, does this mean that it is less powerful and efficient, but still leaves room for diverse changes?
As Clarisse explained at the beginning, this may be possible because the origin of astronomical magic itself is literally close to the power to create a test bed.
“There is no need to try to make me understand how useful the Celestial Art is. “Even if I don’t have to do that, I have no intention of neglecting my studies.”
Lennok asked.
“What do you want to say? “Do you want to tell us something about how to use a model garden?”
“…yes. In fact, yes.”
Clarice, who hesitated, answered.
“Because a model garden is not a power that relies on imagery or thoughts. To be precise, the practitioner’s consciousness… “The test bed itself, which constructs the space based on the ego or spirit.”
“….”
“So, if you spread the model garden infinitely wide, you can force a similar level of expansion of consciousness on the other person. And that, to put it another way, for longevity species like us…”
The giant divine beast’s eyes shone with a strange light.
“It is no different from the fact that the main body of the Jangsaengjong can be forcibly taken out.”
“….”
“I’m telling you this to warn you. After arriving at Kundara, you must not use the model garden carelessly. “Forcibly removing Jangsaengjong’s body is a serious crime punishable by death in that city.”
“What I’m saying is that it should only be used at the moment of need and only against the person who needs it.”
If the Jangsaeng species of the Abyssal City are hiding or modifying their bodies like Claris, it is difficult to detect their abilities or identity.
Clarisse thought that Lennok would eventually discover another way to use the model garden, and was warning him in advance by telling him how to use it.
“Come closer. First, let’s start by measuring the size of your consciousness.”
thud!!
Clarice, who turned over with a heavy roar, looked down at Lennok and said.
“After measuring the size of consciousness and classifying it, we will teach you the senses by drawing a celestial sphere and creating a miniature garden upside down.”
Lennok obediently came in front of Clarisse and placed his hand on the huge fin she held out.
It takes a while to start training like that.
“I guess I have a general sense of it. Is this a way to expand consciousness and build a virtual space?”
“How on earth…”
While the giant divine beast was muttering in disbelief, a small sphere like a soap bubble was floating in Lennok’s hand.
Although the size and shape are different, it is clear that it takes a similar form to the celestial sphere that Clarice developed through the grimoire.
While Clarice looked at Lennoc, who had gotten an idea of the concept of a model garden as soon as he started training, in bewilderment.
“It’s just as I explained. “It is unstable and has low output to replace the domain… but it has autonomy that the domain does not have.”
Lennok, who was looking at the soap bubbles floating in his hand, tilted his head.
“But if it’s like this, I think there might be a better way to use it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It was said to be a technology that creates a model garden and shapes reality.”
Lennok asked with a grin.
“Then wouldn’t the result be the same if we substituted the concept in a virtual space rather than reality?”
“You mean virtual space…?”
“okay. For example…”
A whole brain space located on a network rather than in reality.
While Clarice tilted her head at Lennok’s words, something stirred in Lennok’s arms.
[Hehehe….] As soon
as he heard Lennok’s words, he couldn’t hide his excitement as if he sensed something and was wagging his tail wildly.
Eventually, Dabi roared softly, in a voice that only Lennok could hear.
[Heeheehee… Hahahaha!!]
“….”
Is it an illusion that I feel like I don’t want to work when I’m just hearing laughter?
Lennok smiled bitterly and pressed the front of Dabi’s coat where his head would be located.

Bylon Research Institute located in Area 35. Press conference room located at the back of the main building.
Dozens of reporters are sitting inside the conference room, fiddling with laptops and cameras.
In the waiting room, the researchers who were looking at the scene nervously had a conversation.
“What did you say was the main research theme for this quarter?”
“Substitute particles and the fifth common magic. And again…”
The institute’s press conference room has become a frequent location for reporters since Evan Bylan’s inauguration as director.
The Bylon Research Institute, which is a research institute directly under the city government, is required to make an announcement on its research progress every quarter.
“It’s time. “Let’s go.”
“I wonder how long I have to do this job….”
“I heard they posted a job opening at the research institute. “When is our youngest coming home?”
Since no one among the researchers takes on the role of trumpet, it is customary for those ranked lower in terms of seniority to take turns killing time.
However, the reason researchers were nervous ahead of the interview lay elsewhere.
“A solution to improving the low efficiency of learning devices. “There will always be questions this time.”
“I can’t help it. “There are too many complaints about durability because it was developed with reduced performance for the purpose of mass production.”
Evan Bylan’s third masterpiece, the Public Magic Learning Device, was a prototype created to demonstrate a thesis from the time it was created.
Afterwards, learning devices that were mass-produced and distributed on the market without performance improvement were pointed out for various problems, contrary to the initial enthusiastic response.
Cheap material. Poor finishing, poor durability.
There are many problems pointed out in the process of mass production of learning devices, but the most important one is that the ‘learning’ itself of common magic does not work smoothly.
You do not need to purchase a learning device to use common magic. In the eyes of those who dream of learning common magic and using it without the help of a learning device.
There are many areas where the performance and efficiency of learning devices fall short of expectations.
“Complaints about it continue to come in from the city government and the Technology Management Department. “They said to come up with a clear alternative to this issue within this year.”
“In the end, this is a problem that cannot be solved unless the director steps forward…”
In the end, all the researchers can do is withstand the barrage of questions from reporters at the press conference.
At least, I should say it is fortunate that we achieved some success this quarter, led by Professor Raphael.
The researchers who came forward grumbled and squinted as they faced the flashing camera lights from all sides of the conference room.
Papababababat!!
“What is this….”
“What, we haven’t even started yet?”
Wide-eyed reporters are jumping up from their seats and pressing the shutter as if they are out of their minds.
The researchers, who had blinked their eyes at the passionate and then frantic reactions, soon turned their gaze in the direction the camera was pointing.
When I saw the young man leaning next to the podium, I froze.
“Oh, you’re here.”
“…Director Bylon?”
The appearance of a young man who maintains a smiling expression without blinking even though the light is constantly shining on his face.
Evan Bylan, the director of the institute, who has rarely been seen since the institute was established, is sitting there.
The researchers, who opened their eyes with difficulty as the flash exploded in front of them, asked with difficulty.
“What are you doing here…?”
“When you say that, doesn’t it seem like you’ve come to a place I shouldn’t have come to?”
“Oh no. “I didn’t mean that…”
“I’m just kidding. “I took some time because I had some accomplishments worth briefly announcing.”
“…Are you talking about the castle?”
Instead of answering, Lennog grabbed the microphone placed on the podium.
“This is Evan Bylan. Nice to meet you.”
As voices rang out, questions from reporters poured in from all directions.
“Chief. Starting with the reason you came to the conference today-”
“I understand that the Technology Management Bureau has asked for advice on a patent issue, do you have any opinions on this?…”
“There are a lot of complaints coming in regarding the durability of the learning device-”
Jjiiing. !!
As Lennok tapped the microphone with an annoyed expression, the noise coming from the speaker sharply pierced my ears.
The moment reporters inadvertently covered their ears and silenced a noise that sounded like hands scraping glass.
Someone shouted quickly, as if they had taken the opportunity.
“Citizens’ complaints about the lack of performance and convenience improvements in learning devices are skyrocketing. What do you think?”
“….”
Was this the question Lennok was most curious about when he appeared at the press conference?
The moment those words rang out, my son-in-law became quiet.
The reporters held their cameras in silence as if waiting for Lennok’s answer.
Lennok looked around the conference room in silence and raised the microphone.
“We succeeded in building the Spell Assistant Server in the global brain space.”
“yes?”
Lennok said as he looked at the reporters who did not understand what he was saying and tilted their heads.
“It means a virtual space that assists in the calculation and chanting of common magic. “It’s a word I just made up, so you can call it whatever you want.”
“…What does that have to do with improving the performance of learning devices?”
“It means that things that were previously possible only through learning devices are now possible without hardware.”
“What do you mean there is no hardware…?”
“I think it would be quicker to give you an example.”
The moment the reporters paused at the strange explanation that gave them a sense of déjà vu, Lennok put down the microphone with a smile.
“This means that it is now possible to create and distribute a public magic learning device as a mobile phone application.”
With those words, Lennok disappears to the back of the conference room.
The reporters who were staring blankly at the scene jumped up from their seats and started moving.
“Hurry up and do additional interviews. What are you doing!!”
“No, post the article first. “You must go out on an independent report!!”
“it’s crazy? If we don’t put an embargo here, the city government will definitely-”
“But we still have to do it!!”
Some people run out of the conference room following Lennok, while others sit down and write articles on their laptops.
There were also reporters who overturned all the desks and chairs and ran around the conference room looking for a place where they could connect.
Some people ran out of the lab holding the video recorded just now.
Uddangtangtang!!
Even the security guards waiting outside the lab were panicked and running around the conference hall in disarray.
The researchers left in the chaotic conference room were looking at the chaos.
“…What on earth am I looking at?”
“What are you looking at?”
The oldest researcher among the dogs said with a blank expression.
“Our director didn’t want to hear criticism about the learning device, so he just got rid of the hardware.”
