The morning was like the morning before before but this time Aldric had the desire to reveal the entire palace so that he did not get lost again so that in the event of an emergency he would not die easily.
Last night Aldric asked one of his waiters to bring him a charcoal and paper well the picture wouldn't be good but at least it could help pinpoint the location.
he goes out and starts drawing and if there is something striking in a room that is different from the others he gives a little note or additional drawing in the room, after two hours he finished finishing his plan it was a mess on paper even though he looked proud because he was able to read the plan without any problems.
And there he just realized that yesterday he was lost because it turned around in 2 aisles and 3 the same room, he said, he was a little embarrassed by this but he knew this was the kind of mistake that only he knew so he was not too ashamed of this mistake.
After finishing the floor where his room was located he planned to reveal the floor that was underneath it, he went back to his room and picked up the new paper that was still clean and went downstairs and started drawing again he did this secretly from the servants on duty
Aldric carefully and quietly continued his efforts to reveal the lower floors of the palace. He wanted to make sure that no hallway or room would ever get him lost again. With the new charcoal and paper he was holding, Aldric began the process of drawing the floor plan downstairs.
and he did this until the afternoon because there were 20 floors below, not to mention the floor above his room, but he was not discouraged even more happy because he knew he would not get lost again and could explore the beautiful and luxurious palace.
Until he finally reached the first floor, the first floor looked more like a defensive post, perhaps indeed the last defense before the opponent could access the palace?, a great many guards and they were not just any guards, perhaps indeed the last defense before the opponent could access the palace, their spearheads lit up orange and the air around the tip of the spear was a heat wave could be seen surrounding it.
Some of the guards also had very large swords even though they were so few in number maybe they were more elite than the troops carrying the spears ?.
At first Aldric was not so attentive but there was a wobble in the air in some corner he did not know what it was, but he should not approach it maybe they were army-type assassin or something like that, if only he did not look for every detail of the room/area to note maybe Aldric would not see or realize them.
The archers were also no less happy than the asassin troops, they were guarding the post from a difficult angle to reach but they could easily shoot anyone approaching,
Aldric came out of the palace for the first time a vast meadow and a giant fortress in the background, yes the palace is surrounded by a large fortress with a height of 30 meters to the extent is less known but clearly it is sturdy.
When he started walking a guard came, he used thick black armor, both of his hands each had a large round shield that covered his entire hand, his armor looks so heavy and looks impractical strangely he moves like a normal person.
"sir Aldric, what are you doing here ?" his voice was so heavy, his breathing could be heard clashing with the helmet covering his head.
"abs... I-I'm just walking" Aldric said while slightly nervous, "ah.... You have not walked outside the palace for a long time.... Perminlan I control you", he said while looking down, although the appearance is a little scary it seems he is a good person "yes of course" Aldric could not refuse it anyway he was outside the palace although not outside the fort something might happen should be on guard.
They walked together around the palace, exploring the vast grasslands and looking at the towering fortress around it. Aldric was amazed by the robustness and beauty of the palace, as well as the serious escorts that were carried out in the outer vicinity of the palace.
"hm.... Hey how thick the fort is" asked Aldric curiously, "oh the fort is my master's best fortress, built in the time of the chief god, built directly in the dark ages, the energy si-" guard stopped talking when he wanted to mention the word magic, maybe he was not good with his old man who could not use magic.
"um?, is there a problem ?" the guard seemed to have a hard time answering "sorry sir.... I don't mean.." he said, looking down, there Aldric understood what was happening as well as his older brother who liked the topic of magic when talking to him.
"hey no problem let's continue the story, I even want to know more about this fort", seeing the old request of the guard continued the story "the magic that flows in this fortress like blood is pumped by the determination of people from the past and the present to protect the future, now this fortress is the protector of this country's castle.... This was the last bastion of humanity, before the non-human race made alliances with the human unat.
Aldric listened enthusiastically to the story told by the guard. He was interested in the history and significance of the fort to the kingdom and mankind. Although the guards seemed reluctant to talk about magic, Aldric still wanted to know more.
"It's exciting" Aldric said with interest. "Has this fortress ever suffered a significant attack?".
The guard railed, "it used to be hit by a world eater-class monster and suffered irreparable damage, a huge crack.... If you want to see it you have to go outside the fort... If you really want to see it, you should ask the king's permission to go outside the palace".
Aldric shook his head, "it doesn't need a story from you enough, it's an interesting story... What is the name of the fort in-" Aldric keceplosan asked the name of the fort, as the prince of the country should he know the name of the fort, right ?.
"ah, no wonder you confused many names for this fortress such as the fortress of gods... Um... Fortress of hope, but the temple founders and celestials called it Sanctuary Fortress.I don't know what it means but it sounds better than any other name I've ever heard..." said the guard while looking at the menteng.
"meaning the holy fortress means fort and sanctuary has many meanings but in the current context it means holy to be a holy fortress", the guard looked at Aldric as he looked surprised but hard to see because of his face covered by the helmet.
"i didn't know you could use the ancient language, to be honest I was surprised" said the speaker in a complimentary tone, while Aldric was still at a loss as to what he was talking about.... Is English the ancient language of the world ?.
"no!, I'm sure Seraphina reads books aloud in the library... So it's not entirely me" Aldric said frantically, "you still don't need less or college but you can understand the ancient language is amazing", "u-um, I don't know all the words okay that fort just happens to have a word that I understand" Aldric once again tried to deny.
The guard smiled, understanding that Aldric was trying to lower his abilities. "Remain, your ability to understand ancient languages is amazing. A lot of people can't do it, so you should be proud"
"let's go, let's go in. Anyway night is coming" Aldric tried to end their conversation began to walk under the orange sky of the afternoon, but something caught Aldric's attention was Brianna.
When he saw that he was practicing, he stuck his magic wand on the ground, and closed his eyes, magic waves could be felt out like waves of wind from him, however as he opened his eyes a disappointed expression formed on that beautiful face of his.
Aldric was curious but did not want to disturb anything he was doing at the moment, but Brianna looked towards Aldric and approached him and crossed her right hand on her chest.
"sir Aldric what are you doing here ?" he asked, this is the first time Aldric saw Brianna closely, his hair is short for women who do not even cover his entire ears, his hair black sparkles clean, the floral farfum he uses can be clearly smelled, the beautiful and expensive white dress makes the appearance more beautiful.
Aldric also did the same thing that crossed his right hand on his chest, "ah daughter Brianna... I just walk the afternoon.... Please lower the word 'master' anyway to our two old men so close", Aldric tried to be polite and not look awkward.
"hehehe then you also lower the word 'princess' also dong..." Brianna chuckled, "ah i-iya sorry... Brianna well I rarely talk to my fellow noblemen sorry"
Brianna smiled broadly at Aldric's words. "It's okay, Aldric. I-i understand. Sometimes that formality feels a little stiff, doesn't it? Let's talk more casually after all our country has been cooperating for so long it would be strange if we spoke like strangers"
"i-iya that's right.... What are you doing here?", Brianna has trouble answering without possibly hurting Aldric's feelings of "um... Youknew.... That's loh..." Aldric again knew what people were trying not to talk about in front of him "magic?, don't be afraid I get hurt just by talking about magic, I'm not that sensitive" Brianna who heard this was a little surprised but there was also a feeling of admiration "really?, you have no problem with people talking or... Using magic in front of you?, but you-"
"yes I can't use magic but that doesn't mean I hate magic instead I like it and want to see many types of magic in this world... So what did you learn?", Brianna was impressed by Aldric's view that even though he was born disabled he had the spirit of a normal person.
"i'm practicing radar magic... I have to study it for a test later this month" Aldric seemed interested in radar magic "can you explain what magic looks like ?" Brianna nodded "this magic shoots out a thin but sensitive mana wave in the area around the user and any creature that is hit as long as it is alive and reasonable will be detectable"
Aldric is increasingly interested in "how big is his radius ?" Brianna thought for a while "the furthest distance can be up to 2km in diameter but for the test I should be able to detect as far as 500 meters" Aldric gave a sign of interest to Brianna's explanation,"can give a step ?" Brianna shook her head "I don't know... I always forget it or I can't visualize it in my head, the book is right there on the table"
Aldric looked up at the hovering plate of a magic book at his open with his step Aldric oun read it "first close your eyes and imagine the third person's point of view, the second imagine the area around you from memory, to the three wave shots where subtly, the fourth feel the interaction of mana against the target"
Aldric then did the ordered thing by ignoring the 3rd and 4th instructions because he could not, imagining the 3rd person's point of view was very easy for him, in the illustration of the book the point of view of the third person is like in a game with a third person point of view so he easily visualizes it, namu Brianna doesn't know what a game is with or how it looks like a third-person perspective.
Aldric no wonder visualization is the basic key to magic in the world, at least that's what he said the magic book he read even though he hadn't finished reading it.
Aldric also had the idea he took out a spare paper and charcoal that he brought and started drawing on the plate, Brianna looked confused what Aldric was doing.
After Aldric had finished giving the picture to Brianna it was a point in the middle that was in a medium circle and a large circle that surrounded everything like a simpler submarine radar.
He marked on the outermost line 500 meters, and the circle in the middle 250 meters, and he oun gave it to Brianna "try this" Brianna looks confused "what is this ?" Aldric Oun explains "think the point in the middle is you, the circle inside is a radius of 250 meters and the outer is 500 meters should be easier to remember than the point of view of the 3rd person's point of view from the sky"
Brianna is initially unsure but he will try "alright" he looks toward Aldric's rough image and remembers it in his head and focus, he said, he then put it on the table and stuck his stick to the ground and closed his eyes.
It easily visualizes a rough picture of Aldric then it shoots out a wave of whichever it is, then he saw the green dot dot above the rough picture of Aldric and it was the person who was in the radius of 500 meters, he saw it clearly.
"250 Meters distance there are 7 people.... About 270 people are 10.... Distance 500 meters.... There are 8 people... L'm.... I know where they are !" Brianna opened her eyes in shock and was happy at the same time tears could be seen in her glassy eyes.
"This oldric succeeded ! hahaha" Aldric stood in front of her clapping with a wide smile on his face "congratulations Brianna you made it !".
"oh my gosh thank you so much Aldric" Brianna unconsciously hugged Aldric because he was happy but he let go quickly "ah... Sorry me... I'm too excited" Aldric doesn't seem to object to this "hahaha no problem.... Once again I congratulate you"
On that day Brianna no longer kept the picture of Aldric in her student book or in her head but in her heart.
