E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 81 - Enchantment
Leo, who had confirmed that Feris had gone far away, immediately entered the inn.
But before that....
"You're a new guy, huh? So did the woman just meet Artemis or something?" Leo asked the girl who was cleaning up the rest of the Ferris drink.
"That's how sir, before Miss Feris had met some soldiers. Ask about their journey." Answer the girl timidly.
"Hm.... That so? Good job." Reply Leo while immediately entering the inn.
In it, he also saw quite a lot of changes. Starting from the area devoted to practicing with stone floors and also wooden scarecrows.
In the corner of the room there were even shelves containing various wooden weapons. Be it spears, swords, axes, shields, and so on. Giving freedom to the user of the training ground was choosing their weapon.
'Huh.... How much of this place is....'
Even before Leo could finish his thinking, there were a lot of new faces in this place. Makes it more confusing.
'10? No... 12 new people? What the hell is going on here?' Ask Leo to himself in the heart.
At that moment, Selene finally came to Leo. Explains everything he talked to Ferry about at the diner.
"Mr Leo, earlier when I spoke to Ferry at the diner....'
Both of them sat at a table. Not to forget a waiter seemed to bring a drink in the form of fresh and cold orange juice.
A pretty deep conversation is underway.
In essence, Ferry wants to develop the number of personnel in this inn in order to help many other jobs. The potion shop was not closed at all and was only run by new people.
The result is also not inferior to the restaurant, where they grossed 13 platinum coins for 17 days.
Not getting there, a lot of new labor is also needed to do a thorough mapping of market data. Ferry has hired 3 new people who focus on recording all market prices in the City of Venice.
The result is more diverse and more complete data than Leo ever created.
Of course, this thinking is based on Leo's idea to master and predict market prices based on time and situation.
Even with just this temporary data, their spending on daily food needs as well as the need for food costs for stores decreased by about 30%.
All because they really control the market price and know in which district the price of a commodity is lower. Of course while considering its quality.
In addition, Ferry also recruited new bodyguards. Especially in the store of the month. Only, it would be bad to see a big-bodied man with armor and a sword in a restaurant.
Therefore, Ferry began training charming-looking girls to fight with bare hands and small knives. As an additional form of disguise, they also worked as servants in the tavern.
And one of the trained servants was the girl Leo met in front of the inn.
As for the next plan, Ferry thought to buy a building next to this inn to increase the capacity of the Leo group in Venice City.
For now, one room is filled by 2 people. Be it two men or two women. That way the capacity of this inn can increase even though it has not done additional construction.
The goal is to expand to the city of Daeta which is about 3 days if only by horse carriage, and about 7 days if there are pedestrians in the group.
Heard everything....
"Damn it.... I don't have time to shine in all this...." Leo complained as he put his head on the wooden table.
"That's not true, Mr. Leo. In reality, they could all be excited because of Master's kindness. What's more, Ferry says that he admires you, making all of Mr. Leo's thoughts the basis of his ideas." Reply Selene.
Leo only gave a look filled with a sense of defeat to the white-haired woman before him. With slightly narrowed eyes, Leo replied.
"Hm.... So now I'm too useless to be entertained?"
"No! It's not like that...."
But this is a good thing for Leo.
If he can leave most of this work to others, then he can focus elsewhere. Especially to a place that they cannot reach.
With that thought....
"Well, thank you for comforting me, Selene. Now you rest. I'm going back to work to do Enchanting on the weaponry sent by Feris. During the trip to the village of Rarth, I had only completed about half of it." Say Leo while immediately sipping the orange juice.
After that, he stood up and walked towards his study. While Selene herself could only smile thinly to pay attention to the figure of her Master before returning to her room.
By the time Leo opened the room, he was quite surprised that not much had changed.
Nothing except a room that is cleaner and tidy, without any changes in the arrangement of the arrangement of such a large item. Leos are not confused by the changes that occur.
His right hand was gently stroking the small box that contained Alicia's holy sword. So is the big box that contains 60 fixtures.
'They've all gotten him out of the car well huh?' Leo thought in his heart while smiling.
With this good mood, Leo did not want to waste it. He immediately opened the box containing Alicia's holy sword.
After opening it, he had not taken it out of the soft pillow that was in the box.
But Leo immediately took a chalk to draw a magic circle on the wooden floor.
The shape of the magic circle is quite simple, namely the various complicated writings that have been memorized by Leo since his brief class with Roselia, as well as the arrangement of three triangles that make up the ninth star.
At the end of each corner of the star, Leo makes a circle with a slightly simpler writing.
After everything was done, Leo closed the magic formation with three different circles. One is a regular line, the second is a complicated writing that seems to form a chain, and the third is a thicker straight line.
Above each small circle at the end of the star's corner, Leo placed a Mana stone that had been filled.
Then last....
Right in the middle of that seemingly empty magic circle....
Leo put down Alicia's holy sword without her sword sheath.
The magic circle is ready.
Mana is enough.
Now all that is needed next, is the activation of the magic owner.
Leo closed his eyes to fully focus. With both hands wide open, he began his magic recitation.
His speech sounded quite subtle and not very understandable. But Leo said it as if it were an understandable sentence.
Soon after, a beautiful reddish glow began to shine through this room. Little by little it formed a magic circle exactly as drawn by Leo with that white chalk.
No. gabe....
More precisely the magic circle was forced to follow the shape drawn by Leo.
The first step of this magic is to collect Mana. That is the function of the 9 small circles that surround the Mana stone.
'Swuuussshhh!!!'
A beautiful bluish light seemed to be drawn towards the center of the magic circle. Replacing the red light that previously dominated.
Everything seemed to fill the shape of the nine-pointed star as well as the intricate writing surrounding Alicia's sword.
After that, the next step was to utilize the Mana that had accumulated and turn it into a real magic.
An Enchantment magic that was much more powerful because it used a greater Mana than usual.
Leo realized the huge increase in magic power just by utilizing this Mana stone to cover up his weakness in terms of Mana capacity. And he realized it while fighting Igor in the village of Rarth.
He had also predicted it a little.
But Leo did not expect that the increase would be that big. A magic usually used to burn wood, it could even injure a figure as strong as Igor.
And this time....
Leo was also very sure.
That the results will increase rapidly.
Once everything is ready, Leo perfectly imagines what he wants to achieve with this much Mana.
And the increase chosen by him....
Is the increase in the defense of this sword user. That's Alicia.
Igor points out that a simple skill like [Iron Skin] can make him very powerful. Even without any other skill.
So what about Alicia who is indeed a killing machine with so many deadly skills like that?
The answer is of course....
He will not be defeated while holding this sword.
"Inchantment!"
All that energy and light seemed to be absorbed into Alicia's sword. Making it look like it gained great power in just an instant.
