Chapter 16: Rae's magic

Viktor and Rae went into the second basement of the house. It was dark, full of thin spiderwebs and dust. The surroundings looked like people didn't use this room for decades.

"Rae, are you sure you can't open that box ?"

"Yes, there is a barrier around it . I can't get in because I lost my powers. But I think you can open it. "

-This is a long hallway inside the basement that leads to 3 secret exits. But where is that other secret room he is talking about? The way is getting narrow.

"Hey, Rae. Do you think the duke has ever visited this place before?"

"No, there is no trace of human here. The last human trace left here was before 120 years. This basement is more than 500 years ago. I don't think anyone from this house knows about its existence. "

"That's really odd. "

"Why?"

Rae looked at him and saw Viktor's face full of excitement.

"I wonder what's inside of that box."

They stopped walking because Viktor could feel the presence of the door.

"Wait that's weird. Yesterday, I went inside this room from that place. Then how's the room here today?

"Rae was confused so he opened the door and saw the box protected by a barrier.

"It's maze magic. The room changes every day to keep the intruders away. "

Viktor went inside the empty room and tried to touch the box.

"Hm? I can pick it up easily. There's a barrier for sure but it's only 7-circle magic. I can open it easily. "

"Easily you say!"

Rae was annoyed so he left the room to search for something else.

-A small box protected with this level of magic.

He cast a lock opener magic he learn from the liberty book and it opened.

There was a shiny stone which was super shiny and full of mana. It was a high-quality mana stone.

"Just this? "

Viktor was disappointed because of the thing he just found.

"No, there must be something else within it. "

-Should I break it? I don't need this mana because I have my own.

"Hey Rae, come over here. I have something for you."

"Why are you screaming?"

"Here, take all in. "

He threw the mana stone to Rae because that was useless for him.

"This is!!! Are you sure you want to give this to me????"

"Yes, take it and give me back the empty stone. I need it for some research. "

"Okay!!!!!!"

"Let's go back to the house. I am hungry. "

...

Back to home at 9 AM.

-My morning city tour turned into Duke's house tour. But I am not that disappointed. I just found some new magic called maze magic. And an empty mana stone. A transparent one of course.

If I make something out of it, I am sure this will become a great thing to use.

But about Rae's head, that's what I am worried about .

Rae took in the mana from the high-grade mana stone and he gained some of his power back. So he was casting random magic in the air outside.

-Hah! I just want to make that bug disappear...

"Viktor !!! Look!! I can cast my gravity magic!!!!"

-Tsk!!!!

"Shut up!!!!"

-Why can't I just have a normal day inside my blanket?

I cut the high-grade magic stone into tiny pieces like diamonds to make some magical items.

Magical items also exist in this world. They are made from a monster core or mana stone found in the mines. But people don't know how to cut them to prepare good material. So they use the whole stone to make products.

Magic stones also come with grade. The highest grade of mana stone is A grade, and the lowest one is F- grade. Bright white is an A grade and dark black is an F-. They are all used to make magical items by the tower magicians.

Mana stones are like chargeable batteries that magicians didn't know. Once a magic stone is fully used, they crack. But if they are used in the right way, they can be used over 10 years or more.

-I am a greedy person so I won't be letting out this science outside. Not even my products. Being a businessman is not suitable for me. I don't have that kind of patience in me. And earth technology can be deadly if it's upgraded with the magic of this world.

Viktor put all the small stones inside his left crest and went outside his room. The sun was already going down. Rae was laying on the ground exhausted to his core after shooting fireballs since the morning.

"Oi, wake up. It's dinner time."

"Hm? It's already dinner time? Where are we going tonight?"

"To the city. We will have dinner outside today. "

-I missed my morning walk, so I will just take a night walk in the city. Of course, I have something to pick up from there. I need it to complete my magic item.

Both of them went outside and followed the path leading to the city. It was filled with lights and the people were celebrating a winter festival.

The weather was getting cold, but it doesn't snow in the Vestrain kingdom. So, there was no need to prepare for the winter like he used to do it back on earth.

-It's already December here and the temperature didn't even reach 10°C. It's like summertime to me. But look at them wearing jackets like they are going to freeze to death.

"It's not even cold, so why are they wearing big jackets?"

"So you're too? I was wondering the same thing."

Viktor and Rae were standing in the middle of the street wearing a single white shirt showing off their chest and black pant. They were too attractive that the people on the street thought they were nobles . Even some kids came and asked for their family names.

"We should move to somewhere quiet, the festival noise is making my ear hurt."

"I saw a bar a few days ago. Do you want to go there?"

"I am still a minor Rae. I can't drink. "

Viktor was really disappointed because of his age. It was hard for him to be a 14 years old kid when he was 29 inside.

"Don't worry they don't serve alcohol to minors. "

"Just how did you walk around every corner of the city in just 2 days? How did you know that they sell good food in the first place ??"

"I am a formal guardian boy, don't compare me with those humans."

"You damn freeloader."
