Chapter 736

Tohsaka Rin: "Actually, made a prosthetic limb out of wood!"

Shishigou Kairi: "Impressive, I have never seen this kind of magic."

Fiore: "Could it be that he created it himself?"

Gordes: "Very likely."

Kayneth: "This is not ordinary wood, but a very rare elf root; this old man is really willing to part with it."

【Graf: "Elf root was originally a product planted on stone statues to drive them and turn them into golems. As long as you choose a guy with a high degree of compatibility and cleverly combine it with Magic Circuits, you can also do this trick."】

【"... Gu, this kind of thing... where did you..."】

【Because the pain has not yet subsided, Seigen kneels on the ground and can't even speak clearly.】

【Graf: "This thing is a rare spell body on the surface, but in Albion, it's not difficult to get your hands on it."】

【"It has a very good compatibility with your shugenja path. Although there is no way to make it the same as the previous arm, it also has its uses; you will have to get used to it in use next."】

Shishigou Kairi: "Hahaha, it makes me want to go there and make a fortune."

Gordes: "Indeed, it is a place where magi can get rich overnight."

Waver: "Don't think about it; there are no supplies in there for you to replenish those strange bullets."

Shishigou Kairi: "Hehe, that's true."

【Graf: "Right, Princess of Edelfelt, you should know several magic spells that use gems for automatic reconnaissance."】

【Luviagelita: "Yes, what's wrong?"】

【Graf: "That kind of magic is also very useful in Albion, but in the great magical circuit, you'd better not concentrate too much magical energy; after all, it's full of magical energy everywhere, and there are enemy reactions at any time."】

【"Hmm, although the precision will be reduced by a few points, limiting the target of the reconnaissance magic reaction is the basic way."】

【Luviagelita: "Limit the target of the reaction?"】

【Graf: "For example, it's no problem to cast it by limiting attributes. When encountering this situation, just change the target attribute every second and you will be foolproof."】

【After speaking, the old man raises his hand and sprinkles what he is holding toward the surroundings.】

【That is the ore produced in Albion; there seems to be a trick when the old man twists his fingers or wrists, making the ore look like it is falling in all directions from his palm at the same time.】

【Graf: "I sprinkled a few pieces of ore; where did they fall?"】

【Luviagelita: "Ah, is that so?"】

【Saying that, Luviagelita takes out a blue gem and chants.】

【"Call."】

【The depth of the gem's brilliance changes, slowly from blue to red, from red to yellow, from yellow to green.】

【"Seven pieces... no, there is one hidden in the shadow. The position is—"】

【Luviagelita flicks the gem, and the bursting light falls on the ore the old man just sprinkled, letting the ore float automatically.】

Caules: "Is this teaching how to act in a labyrinth."

Fiore: "This old man is quite attentive."

【Graf clicks his tongue, saying: "So annoying, don't talk about fifteen minutes, it only took a few short sentences to finish finding them; if my students had such outstanding talent, it would be great."】

【Furiuga: "You're very long-winded, old man."】

【Waver asks: "Besides Furiuga, do you have other students?"】

【Graf: "Oh oh, because I am a magus. There is no need to be as pedantic as a proper magus about passing it down to only one child. However, everyone except that stupid student died."】

【Waver: "Hmm? Died?"】

【Graf: "... That's a boring story. Alright, you don't have time to waste, let's go quickly."】

【Saying that, he hands a piece of paper to Waver.】

【Waver sees the content on the paper, and his pupils shrink: "This, this is!"】

【"Hehe, this is the latest map of Albion."】

【Graf smiles: "I asked around with acquaintances and checked the routes where monsters have been spotted in the last few months. As long as Furiuga looks at this map, he should be able to reduce the chance of encountering monsters in the lower levels of the labyrinth to the minimum."】

【Furiuga: "Hey, old man! How did you do this!"】

【Graf: "Hmph, an old man who can no longer perform decent magic living in the corner of the mining city naturally has the channels to prepare this kind of thing."】

【"Alright, as long as you walk the route on the map, you may only need to have the minimum battle with the Phantasmal Species inhabiting the great magical circuit. It's better than nothing."】

【Furiuga: "I didn't mean that! The elf root just now, and this map, should not be things that can be easily obtained. When I was here, these would cost at least a year's income!"】

【Graf: "You stupid student, didn't I say it already? I died a long time ago; dead people don't need property. As a magus who is not a magus, no one will inherit my property. I am just letting go of things I originally wanted to find an opportunity to let go of through this opportunity."】

Caules: "Meeting by chance, to do this much..."

Tohsaka Rin: "This old gentleman is really free and easy."

Extra Feng Xi: "Living in this kind of place, you don't know when you will die; there is no need to hold on to these things you can't take with you when you die."

Shishigou Kairi: "That's what they say, but many people can't see through this point. Even, some people, the older they get, the more they value these things."

Extra Feng Xi: "It's all the greed that is doing the mischief."

【Graf: "Hey, Lord."】

【Waver: "Uh, what is it?"】

【"I will remember that scene just now for a lifetime."】

【Graf smiles: "The Lord of the Zhong Ta actually bowed to me, someone who has always been looked down upon in the magic world; even if I told my old acquaintances, no one would believe it. No, the fact that a magus of the new generation actually became a Lord should be even more unbelievable to them than a dream."】

【"You are too kind."】

【Waver nods: "Although it is an even more willful request on top of this, may I ask if I can trouble you to bring a message?"】

【"Ha, we'll see."】

【Graf accepts the note, takes a backpack out of the woven basket and hands it to Furiuga, saying: "Hey, stupid student, this is for you. I picked some at random; they are all exploration tools that people use recently... also, take this too; the small knife I used when I was active before, I missed the opportunity to give it to you before."】

【"Is it okay, old man?"】

【Furiuga has a strange expression: "Before, no matter how many times I asked, you wouldn't give it to me."】

【Graf: "You know, my body can no longer use this knife; before, it was purely because I couldn't bear to part with it."】

【Furiuga: "... I understand. Thank you very much."】

【Graf waves his hand: "No need to thank me, go quickly."】

【Furiuga: "... Old man, don't die immediately."】

【"... Since that's the case, you must come back."】

【Graf mutters: "It doesn't matter if you don't come to show me your bitter faces, but you must, come back from Albion."】

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It seems the road ahead is really dangerous and unpredictable."

Waver: "It's okay, we will definitely come back safely."

【The group follows Furiuga forward, arriving at a hilly area where several connected cracked pillars look like a ring of megaliths, but they don't seem to be man-made, but changes caused by weathering.】

【On the way, Furiuga also tells everyone about Graf's past.】

【Graf is also a survivor of Albion; after leaving the labyrinth, he successfully made a name for himself with his shrewdness and agility.】

【Unlike other magi, he was unexpectedly willing to help others and often took in those helpless, down-and-out magi; Furiuga was one of them.】

【Graf's relationship with the Zhong Ta was very bad, not only in terms of philosophy but also in terms of actions.】

【The Zhong Ta always maintains the law that mystery should be hidden, but Graf's actions were often too high-profile. Although he did not violate the precepts of the Zhong Ta, it also caused dissatisfaction in the Zhong Ta.】

【Just like Furiuga said, Graf was too willful, did not pay attention to rules, not only spoke sharply, but also had unclean hands and feet, so he made many enemies, and even Furiuga at that time became estranged from him.】

【Furiuga at that time had already seen Graf's crisis and told him to close the business before being targeted and retire, but the high-spirited Graf at that time couldn't listen at all.】

【Later, the tragedy happened as expected.】

【When Graf accepted a commission to go abroad secretly, his workshop was raided.】

【It wasn't magi who attacked, but a chaotic army. Because civil war occurred frequently in that region, the workshop was affected by the flames of war.】

【Of course, this is just the surface.】

【Even if the rank is not high, they are magi; how could they easily die at the hands of ordinary people. Even if the other party had guns, it wouldn't be to the point of total annihilation. Not to mention, the workshop was equipped with a barrier, and the defense wasn't weak to the point of being invaded by physical means alone.】

【It is very clear that this was the result of instructions from magi who hated Graf.】

【When Graf returned, the workshop had turned into ruins. Not only were the catalysts and spell bodies he had carefully collected over the years looted, but the students responsible for guarding the workshop were also brutally murdered, and their bodies were left with traces of torture. It could be seen that they suffered until the very last moment.】

【Those people dared to be so arrogant, perhaps thinking that Graf was alone and couldn't make any waves, but they were wrong.】

【The angry old man turned into a demon of revenge, finding and slaughtering the perpetrators one by one, the soldiers who happened to be there, and the people who instigated them.】

【As a magus proficient in divination, those people couldn't hide from Graf at all.】

【The revenge lasted for two years, and Graf also became a demon feared by everyone.】
