Weed Reincarnation ~ Carefully Raised in the Elf Village ~

Chapter 10-: The story of elders and magic

( TL By GUST )

 

 Hearing my "voice" he must be the elder that Sefie had said before.

 It looks like I have no choice but to call him an elder, and above all, he nods to it.

 It's the first time I've met a few days after I started living in an elf village, but I feel like he's not letting down his guard.

 Rather.


 ――Maybe you were wary of me?


 My existence is already widely known to the elves from day one.

 However, it made me feel a little uncomfortable that he come to see him now. Until then, if I was told that I didn't care about myself, the elder's words, the line of sight looking at me, the atmosphere and attitude that I felt relative to each other, gave me a somewhat humorous impression.

 Hearing my words, the elder deliberately opens his eyes.


"This is a surprise. Since it is a spirit that dwells in Walking Weed, I thought it was just a newborn micro spirit, but it also has a clear consciousness. "


 An old man who can't eat.

 I'm sure my race is a walking weed, but I'm sure that was clear if you've been watching for the last few days.

 I didn't bother to do something like groping for his stomach, so I frankly asked my question.


 ――In other words, is this ... the final confirmation or something like that?


 The elder was wary or suspicious of me for some reason.

 I think I was thinking that my existence was bad.

 However, I didn't feel any unpleasant feelings about my doubts.

 Probably because it's proof that he's so worried about Sefie.


"law……! Do you understand that much? ...... I see, this seems to be a spirit with a fairly high rank. As you say, just in case. Forgive me for your rudeness, Spirit


 The name changes from the spirit hall to the spirits, and the sign that emanates in a blink of an eye changes to just a good-looking one. Then I bowed my head.

 As the elder said, I would have been convinced that I wouldn't really hurt Sefi in the last few days.


 ――It's good. Apparently, it's rare to have something like me.


"Yes, quite. It's hard to believe this grandfather, as a spirit with a certain consciousness like you isn't a ghost tree, but rather dwells in the grass. "


 Well, that's right.

 In fact, even if you knew the existence of a spirit, you wouldn't normally think that it was dwelling in a weed that looked like it was growing randomly on the side of the road.

 And I can't dream that such a fluently speaking (or thinking) being is not a spirit but just a weed, a walking weed.


 That's why the elder doesn't seem to doubt that I'm a spirit anymore.

 ...... Well, I'm a grass spirit, right?

 Anyway, the elder continues to speak. That's why I was wary.


"So, to be honest, I was really wary that I wasn't a spirit, but something strange."


 --I see.


 Most people can't hear it, but if the grass speaks fluently, it's also vigilant.

 As an elf, it seems that you don't feel any discomfort if it's a ghost tree.


"Do you feel uncomfortable? 』\


 --No, not really. Do you take it for granted? Don't worry.


"Thank you for saying that."


 ――I have one more question to ask.


"what do you want? 』\


 ――Can you tell me how to use magic? It's hard to understand from Sefie's explanation.


"Hohohoho! The princess is a genius. I'm not good at explaining to others. "


 --Are you an idiot?


 While thinking about it, I am convinced that the princess is Sefi.


"I can't teach you so well, but if the spirits can't use earth magic, I'll explain it to you."


 ――Oh, really?


"Yes. Let's talk a little bit about magic. ”


 This is how I got a simple magical solution from the elder.


 According to the elder's explanation, it is certain that magical power and attributes are required to activate magic, but that does not mean that it can handle all of the aptitude magic that attributes have.

 for example,


"The spirit has the earth attribute, but earth magic and mineral magic are not very compatible. Since he is a plant spirit, he probably specializes in plant magic. "


 It seemed like that.

 Well, it's a spirit ... it's a plant itself.


"Many of our elves also have earth attributes, but not many can use earth magic and mineral magic. Most of them also specialize in plant magic. "


 In other words, it seems that I don't have the talent for earth magic in the first place.

 That's why you can't do earth javelin no matter how much I  practice.


"And how to use magic"


 The elder continues.


"Magic basically has the processes of" generation, "" transformation, "" change, "and" manipulation. "For example, let's say you attack an enemy with an ice spear."


 --Hmmmm.


"In this case, the process is to first generate water by" generating ", change it into a spear shape by" transforming ", turn the water into ice by" changing ", and eject it toward the enemy by" manipulation ". is. Of course, not all steps are required, and it doesn't have to be in this order. For example, it is "operation" to keep the water produced by "water generation" in the air and to shoot it at the enemy. "


 ――In other words, in the current example, "operation" is activated from the stage of "generating" water to the end...


"Hohohoho! As expected, spirits, understanding is quick. "


 It's only natural that the water you've created shouldn't fall to the ground right away.


 ――Is it okay that "generation" is not necessary when using an original substance?


"Yes, of course."


 ――It consumes less magical power, right?


"That's right, isn't it?"


 Hmmm, the elder nods.


 -I see. Well, I understand that you have to be aware of each process in order to use magic. So what happens to the essential magic activation method?


 I understand that using magic depends on attributes and aptitude.

 Then how do you activate the magic? Do you need spells, wands, special magical controls, and so on?


"It's easy. All you have to do is release the magical power to the outside of the body, put it together so that it does not spread, draw the thing you want to generate there concretely in your brain, and put in a strong will to generate it. When manipulating an existing object, put magical power into the object to be operated and vividly imagine how to "transform", "change", or "manipulate" it. Well, in other words, all you need is magical power, imagination, and will. "


 It didn't seem to be surprisingly difficult.

 But when that happens--


 --Huh? What about spells?


"Ah, that's to supplement your imagination and willpower. It is more efficient to cast a magic name that can be activated even by an expert, but more chanting is used by inexperienced people or to assist magic that is not good at nature. Well, as an exception, it is also used in ceremonial magic with multiple people. Also, adolescents tend to cast their own spells. "


 ―― …… Hey.


 It hurts, my heart.


 ――When it comes to that, the reason why my earth magic failed is simply because I didn't have the qualities.


"I was sneaking a look at it, but there was nothing strange about it ... except for spells (sledging)."


 --Huh?


"No, nothing."


 --Yes?


"Yes"


 ――But then, can I use plant magic?


"That's right"


 ――What can plant magic do?


"Forcibly accelerate the growth of plants"


 -It seems to be bad for your health.


"Energize plants"


 --Oh, Sefie's "Ouen".


"You can also manipulate plants to some extent."


 -Is it like the thorn wall?


"You can also get the fruit right away. Well, if you do it with magic, it will be very unpleasant. "


 --Is that so?


"Yes, it's incomparable to the spirit-like fruits. Besides, it is impossible to produce many varieties at will. "


 So that's it.

 That's why my fruits are popular with elves.

 There seems to be a reason why I can be believed to be a spirit. Because I'm doing something I can't normally do.

 When asked what I can do, maybe because I'm a skill, not a magic?


 ――But it's sober, plant magic.


"No, it's very useful magic to live in the woods, isn't it? 』\


 That's right, but that's not what I was looking for.

 Is it weak to be unmatched?

 It seems that it can be used as much as helping Sefi, but for now, it is also magic that I can not think of a scene that I need so much.

 Even if I promote my own growth, it doesn't make sense unless the level goes up, and when it gets bigger, it will be difficult for Sefi to carry it, so I reject it.

 Well, I'm going to do a lot of research on this magic.


 ――Are there any other magic that I could use?


"There is"


 ――Is that so! ??


 I heard it with no use, but I was nodded easily.


"Magic that doesn't depend on attributes ... In other words, it's non-attribute magic. This can be learned by anyone with magical power. There are a lot of tricks that are a little difficult to learn, though. "


 ――What can you do with that?


"Strengthening physical strength ... doesn't seem to make much sense to spirits."


 The elder said, looking down at my body.

 Well, it's a fascinating magic, but why not strengthen my physical strength?


"And ... how about the magic of" telepathy "? 』\


 ――What! ??


 I raise my voice involuntarily.

 Right now, because I have my "voice" picked up unilaterally, I can't communicate with anyone other than Sefie or the elder who can hear my "voice", but if I can use this "telepathy", I can communicate with other elves. I may be able to talk with everyone else.


 -Is that the one Sefi and the elders use to reach me? Can it be used for me too! ??


"Of course. However, this magic only delivers a voice unilaterally. For the spirits to talk to the people in the village, they need to be someone who can also use "telepathy", or the spirits need to be able to hear our words. "


 That said, it's a fact that communication is much easier.

 It was a magic that I definitely wanted to learn.


 -Tell me that "telepathy"!


"Hohohoho! Of course, it doesn't matter. …… But now ”


 The elder who turned around and had a troubled expression.


"Because I'm too old ... It's tiring to stand, walk, or talk to someone for a long time. If it is a "telepathic" conversation, it will consume less magical power. "


 ――?


 I have a question mark in my heart as to what I mean.


"When you get tired, sweets look good on your body. Sweet fruits are good ... ”


 It seems that you can bring fruits to the tuition fee.

 Well, there is a reserve of rhizomes in this square, so it doesn't matter at all.


 --all right. If you tell me, I'll give you your favourite fruit.


"Oh, I'm sorry, it seems to have urged you. I'm grateful that you give me as many fruits as you like. "


 -As many as I like! ??


 Please do not be so bold.
