The Sended's

Chapter 84: There's no Shame in Deterrence

.

Qing, qing,

The largest city in the Continent and perhaps the largest in the human region is filled with many library buildings that store books on certain fields only, this city has become like a library itself, he said, while the building is part of this great library

That's just a parable, because among them there is indeed the largest and grandest, the library in Fuzhou may be only a quarter of that size.

"Magic is not only a tool for war and killing, it is a means of life and prosperity" one teacher taught by the wayside

"But it's growing rapidly because of fighting and bloodshed, can't you denounce that?" I just entered his language

"Yes it's true young people, but if we keep thinking negative things, then magic itself will be bad where the majority of people are" he replied

"You're right... I want to ask where is the famous Qing library?"

"Ah, you are a tourist apparently, you just need to follow this main street, when you arrive at the roundabout of the fountain, turn left, from there are many signs that lead to the large library,"

"Well, thanks old man,"

Explained quite difficult, like the city of Chang'an, here there are many schools on the side of the road. Most are philosophies, in the second position of new magic

Usually in this Continent philosophy and magic merged into one, with the addition of literary spice then created a peculiarity of the Eastern Continent, the most intelligent Continent in the human region.

Smart indeed, but do they really excel at everything?

"Come and watch the battle game! On our left side is lord Zhuge with his unexpected tactics, on the left side is lord Zhao who dares to take a big risk to win!"

I don't know, it's a kind of chess but it's moved by magic and without a turn change, the game reflects the real conditions on the battlefield where nothing is static, everything keeps moving.

That's what I meant

The Eastern Continent, even the most brilliant among humans, if it was only based on books then the Kings of the Western Continent with their war experience could easily defeat it

The rare occurrence of fighting despite bringing prosperity, would be disastrous if not offset by building military strength.

There was no need to be ashamed in that regard, owning a weapon was very different from using it

"Luck stands with the brave!"

I may begin to understand their game a little, both of them controlling their armies with a kind of weak telekinesis magic. Well, for example, they were playing games with controllers, while the magic was the controller cable

Zhao put in all his backup units and made the game even more exciting, meh.

With that he could only wait for the outcome of the battle site, while Zhuge could still move some units. This is a victory for Zhuge

"He who will win knows when to fight and when not to,"

In his position, Zhuge just did the twisting motion easily without hindrance again because the entire Zhao unit was fixated on the battle.

Of course he won, Zhao used such outspoken tactics, very predictable and trickable

You should make your plan as dark and impenetrable as night, and when you begin to move, move like lightning that strikes quickly. In history, this concept has continuously made a nation superior in warfare

"The winner is Mr. Zhuge!"

The spectators applauded Zhuge's skill

I actually wanted to participate in the game, but as I said before that Ming could attack at any time now, I would at least like to read some books before Kyouka contacted me through magic.

"A room without a book is like a body without a life,"

I no longer understand...why can this library have a design that is more similar to the Western style?! This is the Eastern Continent!

The interior design looks elegant with beautiful carvings on each wooden fence and stairs, a dim light that makes the conditions comfortable for the reader, and a large structure in the middle of which is the center of this library

It was similar to the structure of an atom complete with its electron path, while its own atomic nucleus was glowing quite brightly.

Here, as said, it is vast but crowded with shelves and books and of course readers coming from all over the Continent.

"In the war of the three dynasties, a new magic was created. It was a light magic that awakened the fighting spirit of Liushu's army when it was besieged by thousands of Caowei warriors, becoming a turning point as well as restoring the balance of power in that land,"

Someone I know is reading the book

It was none other than Xia Li, she was the girl I gave the book regarding Ruby's history back then.

"If humans can use light magic, then we should be as powerful as the Seraphim" I said

"That's also what I thought, surely it's just some kind of trick or... eh? I think I know that voice..." He dropped the book off his face so he could see me

.

"Welcome to Qing, Miss Ryuu,"

"You didn't feel this polite, Li,"

"That's because I didn't know that you were a very important person in Ruby-Ups!" He returned with his informal language

"I'm more comfortable with that" I said

He insisted on showing me the city of Qing, to the places he liked to visit, so I followed him and made him my tour guide

We went to the highest tower where the sorcerers researched their magic, this was the highest place in Qing city and was probably the most beautiful if we did not go to the next places.

On the East side of the city are statues commemorating the scientists and writers who have contributed the most to the knowledge of mankind, around it were also tall stones engraved with the names of people with similar roles.

After that we went to the pavilion of a noble who was opened to the public, in which there are various kinds of plants that each require special treatment.

The last one is the Qing academy, here Li becomes a student who will graduate this year

"When I graduate, I want to become an adventurous sorcerer who goes to the end of the world to research all the anomalies that exist,"

That's a big dream, but it's very possible to be realized with the presence of Ruby.

"Regarding the academy, what did you learn there?" Much

"Lately the popular is alchemy magic, first developed by the Dwarves, now the magic has been labeled as a new breakthrough by the academy officials,"

Because on this continent there is a Dwarf colony so their science is also channeled to us? That's a very good development

There are actually many good things we can get if we have a good relationship with Dwarves or Elves, but at the moment it seems impossible considering our strength is too small to be considered balanced

We will be used even later....

"The magic is exchanging raw materials as a result right? It's not strange if the Dwarves develop it..."

"Did Ruby not develop alchemy magic? It will be useful in the future" he asked

"Well, I'm sure the leadership of our intelligentsia knows what he's doing, I don't have the authority to interfere in it. But the development here is becoming more rapid because of that?"

"That's.... Alchemy magic was still a new concept, so the use in the field was also still very little,"

Ah so there's no result yet...

"I've always thought of this Miss, can you use magic?"

"Can you, why are you so thoughtful?"

"Umm, as a fellow magician I want to ask you something. Have you managed to find out the secret behind this magic? Because I think there's a big answer behind it, I intend to find it" he said

The secret behind magic hmm?

"Already," I answered

"Have you? That right?" He doesn't believe

"Yes, I already know where and how the magic started, I also know how to actually use magic,"

"Eh? Can you tell me?"

"Of course, but later your adventure becomes boring. I'll tell you a clue, how to use magic is easier than you think, then the origin of magic... I also don't know where they are right now but there's a race that never appears in any book or anyone's tongue set it up for us, I hope you look for them while on your journey, Li," I explained

Machinarum, I don't know where they are but I'll make sure they're by my side.

I forgot about the academy...

Like an academy, the place is spacious and many people in uniform go in and out of this place, but Li is not wearing that uniform even though he is a student here, I do not know the reason and do not want to ask...

The academy itself is divided into several complexes which have different fields each complex, Li said he had entered each building to satisfy his curiosity

He's the kind of guy who thirsts for science eh? Might match up with Maou

"This is where I'm researching,"

"Eh? You got your own place among these buildings?" I'm amazed by that

"Yes, since I managed to get a lot of achievements before, the academy prepared this specifically for me, I'll show you some of my inventions come on in!"
