Chapter 366: CH.359 Alice and Lua’s Magic Skills

I finished planting the flowers and explaining the new devices, so we were done at the adventurer’s guild. So after a bit more chit chat, we left the guild and headed for the Sage’s tower. My carriage followed the one that Shisu was riding. 

As we came to the street that led to the Sage’s tower, I was again reminded of just how crazy it looked. Okay, the building itself was quite the simple tower structure, but it was the tallest building in the city, so it is special in that way. But what really makes it special are the two magic circles floating in the air around it. It really is such a wasteful way of upkeep magic, as projecting the magic circles takes quite a bit of mana, but I’m clearly not the only one foolish enough to do that.

“Brian, did you ever reverse engineer those magic circles?” Alice asked.

“Yeah, I did ask my monsters to do that after my second visit.” I answered. “One is a defensive barrier around the city. It is the reason the bird-folk have to come guide my ships down to the ground, because otherwise the barrier would trigger and … well, bad things might happen. The second is some sort of a large scale communication spell, but even my monsters struggled to fully understand it. They think it is what keeps the guild communicator network running.”

“Wow. Great Sage Arcadia must have been a genius if she could come up with something your monsters can’t understand.” 

“And that one isn’t the only one. There is also the massive magic circle that is drawn on the ground using the streets of this city. They said it is too generic to decipher when it isn’t active.”
