Chapter 12: Finally!!! Training !!!

Z0 7 year, September 21, Day

- Young Master, focus! - Said one of the knights who taught me fencing.

* BAM * * BOOM * * BAM *

The sounds of the blows of wooden swords were heard throughout the training site.

- Excellent Young Master! - The knight praised me after I repulsed a series of his punches.

***

Two years have passed since the beginning of my training. Since my body was still not strong enough then, I only did that I studied geography , history, ancient languages, magic and trained my body according to the techniques from my past world . The geography turned out to be very useful for men , now I have finally made sure that in this world, so far, only three continents have been discovered - the Western Continent, on which I live, the Eastern Continent - on which the five races have united, for the extraction of useful materials and the Primordial Mainland - which were abandoned after the beginning of the "Age of Beginnings ".

Seven countries are located on the Western continent

Empire Kraus, it occupies twenty percent of the entire continent and is the largest. It is located in the southeast of the western continent, which contributes to the development of marine technology and also gives a monopoly on the eastern continent. The Empire is bordered by five countries: the Trade Republic of Euphras in the center, the Federation of Bestas Beastmen, which is located just below Efras, the Kingdom of Elves Iesnil in the west, the Duchy of Brux in the north and the Demon Nation in the south.

Trade Republic of Efras - With the smallest of all seven countries that are located on the western continent. It is located in the center of the southern part of the continent and therefore, most of the trade routes that go between countries, excluding the Demon Nation, pass through it . She is named after her founder Lauren Ephras. Every seven years, elections are held there, but even with them, the Ephras family constantly rules there.

Federation of Beastmen Bestas - In this country all the beastmen live, its territory is continuous jungle and forests, with access to the western sea. The strange seven rulers who are chosen by the people rule. Peaceful country that mainly supplies exotic fruits and vegetables.

The Kingdom of the Elves Iesnil - The Kingdom of Elves, which verges on the Duchy of Brux, the Kraus Empire , the Trade Federation and the Kingdom of Meyer. The kingdom is located in the Fairy Forest, and is protected by the divine beast - Fenrir. Elves are famous for their bows and their leather armor. Their main production is tied to them, and as well as beastmen, they produce and sell exotic goods.

The Duchy of Brux - The northernmost state, bordered by the desert of the undead - this is the territory that the God of Evil destroyed and turned all living creatures into undead. She is the stronghold of Southerners from the undead raids, so she has no production, and all she does is destroy the undead. Sponsored by all five races.

Demon Nation - The southernmost country on the Western continent, located mainly in the mountains. Their main production is metals and precious stones. Almost all metallurgy is tied to their supplies, if something happens to them, the only country that will not be affected by this will be the Kraus Empire, due to the fact that the empire has about twenty mines on its territory.

Kingdom of Meyer - This is a country where the Queen has absolute power. It borders the trade federation, the kingdom of the elves, and the federation of beastmen. Their main production is fabric, cloth clothes and the like. The country is located on the hills, so there is a very convenient place for breeding sheep and other similar animals. According to my teacher, the Kingdom of Meyer is the most unfortunate place for a commoner to live , corruption and violence, public executions and constant oppression of the people by the nobility flourish there, but the Empire can do nothing about it, because they have the strongest groups of adventurers. A rank is the main the reason why they cannot intervene, because if they do, then you need to be prepared for the serious loss of warriors.

Eastern continent

On the eastern continent, there is one single country - This is the United Federation of five nations. A country that is sponsored by all countries except the Meyer Kingdom and the Duchy of Brux. It occupies five percent of the eastern continent, is governed by five representatives from five different races. It was founded for the purification of the Eastern Continent from undead and the mining of useful metals such as Adamantite. It is also the only place people can escape if the Western Continent falls under the onslaught of undead from the north.

That's where my geography lesson ended ... The story went on, the historian was the old grandfather, who is the main librarian of the Kraus Empire. By the way, I studied history and geography in the capital together with Alice.

The history of this world is continuous cliches, seven races lived together on the original mainland, but once, the race Angelo imagined herself to be the strongest and set the conditions for the other races. You have a choice, to become our subordinates or to disappear from our hands. Due to the fact that the six races did not answer their request for a very long time, the Angels sent their strongest general to destroy the Fairy race, and when he did almost that, the remaining five races declared war on them. Together, they crushed the race of Angels. Rejoicing in the speedy victory, the alliance of five races with a hundred thousandth army of men and women, with the support of the remaining fairies, moved to the capital, where it was destroyed and turned into undead. The Supreme Angel possessed hitherto unknown magic or an artifact, this was never found out, and with the help of his power he was able to resurrect the dead.

Under the guidance of twelve heavenly generals, the Angels drove the remnants of the six races from the original mainland, and began to rule them. But they were few. Two hundred years later, when all the races forgot about their enemies, they returned and the "Age of Chaos" began, the races united again, but the enemy's strength was too great. The eastern continent fell in fifteen years, and after another seven, the Angels came to the north of the western. After seventy years of war, Heroes appeared. Seven great heroes, under cover of the remaining people, went north to overthrow the God of Evil.

The God of Evil was overthrown, but the price paid by all six races was too high. Of the seven heroes, only three survived

Holy Woman - Julia Rise

Elven Sage - Eleanor Iesnil

Holy War - Nikon Gray

And the number of soldiers who returned from the battlefield was seven thousand. After the victory, all the races united and built the Duchy of Brux, which was supposed to protect them until new heroes appeared that destroyed the remaining undead army.

To this day, in the north of the Western continent there are three Higher Lichs, who control the undead. However, they had never once attacked the Duchy with all their forces.

- Now it's clear why the Archbishop said that I am the one who will free this world from the remnants of the army of the God of Evil. - I sighed, I said, after the old librarian finished his lecture.

- So there is a son, you are the Messenger of Heaven! You are able to save all those people whose souls were consumed by higher lychees. And I hope that you can save the soul of my son. - Having said this, the old man began to cry, recalling how good his son was and what kind of lovely grandchildren he left for his wife.

- And I always knew that Esh was special! - Absolutely without reading the atmosphere, she said happily as Alice.

After history and geography, I already at my estate, in the city of Aquos, earnestly took up the study of magic. Well, how I come from teachers, which I was assigned parents, and only they could, that clap their mouths, when I'm with the first or second time, creating the average spell. It was then that they decided to teach me higher-order magic.

Water Element - This is the magic of Ice [Ice Wall], [Ice Spear] and [Ice Fortress]. Two defensive and one attacking, these spells were given to me more difficult than the previous ones , but they are also spells of a Higher order, right?

Element of the Earth - These are several spells of the highest defense - [Bastion], [Steel Wall] and [Meteorite], again, two defensive and one attacking. The Bastion is an analogue of the Ice Fortress, the Steel Wall is an improved [ Wall ] , and a Meteorite is literally a meteorite. Creating a large earthen formation, it was literally thrown at enemies. Fortunately, the people who mastered this magic can be counted on the fingers of one hand ...

Element of the Wind - This is an attacking spell - [Absolute Hurricane] - Creating a ten-meter cyclone that simply carried everything in its path.

The Lightning Element - [Thunder Dragon], [Lightning of Wrath], [Red Lightning] and [Cyclone of Lightning] - All these spells are attacking, but I had to learn from books, because my teacher knew only the first two.

[Thunder Dragon] - This is a weakened form - [Imperial Thunder Dragon], [Lightning of Wrath] - I possessed it for a long time , this is the easiest magic in the highest category of all. [Red Lightning] - An improved version of Chain Lightning, I learned before, but unlike it, it is the first very difficult to manage, and [Cyclones Lightning] - a combination of elements of the average order wind - [Cyclone] and lightning element [Chain Lightning]

By the age of eight , I calmly mastered all these spells and even created some of my own, but in order not to arouse suspicion, I showed good results only with the Elements of Lightning and the Element of Water

***

So it turned out that now, having learned a large number of spells, I fight on equal terms with one of the knights, well, as equals, I use dark energy and my pure mana to strengthen the body, otherwise I would have no chance to resist the elite knight Order of the city of Aquos.

* BAM * * BAMM *

A few more blows of wooden swords sounded, and after my next blow, they simply broke. The sword that I held broke in the middle, and the knight's sword , which was defending itself from my blow, simply burst like paper and was now lying on the ground.

- Fuh , Young Master, do you want to kill me? - The knight asked, looking at his wooden sword.

- Of course not! Who will protect the city then? - I joked.

- Ha ha, and that is true ... - said the knight, rising from the ground. - But still, you are too strong, I believe that you are able to compete with our captain , or even the squad leader! - Standing on his two and brushing off the dust from his clothes, the knight said, after which he picked up the remnants of the swords and went to rest.

- Thanks for the lesson, teacher! I can't wait for our next battle! - I shouted into his back, from which the knight's hair stood on end

- Y-yes, Young Master, but I doubt that I will be useful to you! You better choose someone stronger than me, someone who can teach you something! - Try to department and tsya from me, even he resolutely l substitute his captain. - You better ask our captain! He will definitely teach you something, he could last a duel against your father for three minutes! - Having said this, he bowed and ran away .

"I went too far ..."

[The Master agrees, but on the other hand, you were able to defeat the Elite Knight! Congratulations] - Aina supported me, who came up with a plan for me to defeat this knight. Since that case with the goblins, she constantly comes up with new plans for battles, trying to create better strategies. As now, it is well said that I can make a knight to defend themselves, causing rapid and not very powerful blows, and then, when it is driven into a corner, began to beat less, but to invest in a blow all its power.

- Brother so strong! You were able to defeat the elite knight !!! - Running to me and holding out a glass of water, said Roxy . - After three months, when I'll go through the rite of baptism , I , little brother would teach me magic? She asked, looking at me through the eyes of an imploring kitten.

- Of course I will, I, Alice and Emilia, we will all teach you magic! - Taking a glass of water and stroking Roxy's head, I answered.

- Hooray !! Sister Alice will also teach me! - Hearing that even Alice will come to her baptism and that she will even stay for a while, due to the cold snap beginning in the capital at this time, she began to jump with happiness.

"You are my sister after all ... How can I not teach you magic? These and the old teachers just explain everything terribly, so you will learn only from me. "- Remembering the way I was taught magic at the highest level, I had a disappointed smile on my face , these old men couldn't explain anything to me, they only and they did what they told me to spell and made me memorize every word of it, without really explaining anything . Now I understand why Emilia had problems with this, but how was she able to learn anything at all ???

But unlike these old men, my mother, teaching me the Magic of Light, took off and arranged everything on the shelves. These should be feelings where it is worth paying attention to a certain syllable in a spell, etc. As a result, for two years I was able to learn medium-level spells, and one higher one - [Highest Purification] - A spell created to purify the souls of the undead. Using it, you can destroy several thousand dead at a time. Mom can use it only once, and this is due to the fact that she does not have a very large amount of vital energy, unlike me, who already has it [HP: 451/451, MP: 8521/9845 ]. Unfortunately, the amount of my mana stopped growing at a frantic pace after my sixth birthday . After that, for almost a year of hard training, I was able to increase the mana supply by only two hundred and fifty units. Basically, it grew further due to the fact that I raised the level that I now have [Level: 54 (590000/622500)]. My level, for two years of hunting, it went up pretty well, basically I hunted goblins and hobgoblins, but sometimes I was lucky and I found the Goblin General, although it was a rarity, but because of a successful hunt, I was able to get four shadow warriors who put in the shadow of their entire family. Now I can, using the [ Shadow Exchange ] to come to their aid, even if they are on the other side of the continent.

After training with an elite knight, I went home to take a bath and sit down to dinner. After dinner, I went to teach Roxy to read and write, as I do every day, her servant certainly tried to convince me that I needed to sleep and learn my subjects, magic, for example, but I looked at her and said .

- This is my little sister, and I will read and write it! - After such words, she did not dare to object to me, and just brought us tea, followed my lesson. Under my guidance, Roxy quickly learned to read and write, and had already studied the geography and history of this world. The main pretext was that for every correct answer, she received sweets, no one knows how to make them, except me.

Teaching my beloved little sister, I inadvertently thought about the fact that I needed to diversify new dishes. Now our usual food is soups and potatoes with bread, but I was able to come up with and make other products that decently diversify everyday food, not only of the nobility, but also the commoner.
