The Strongest Wizard Who Makes Full Use of the Strategy Book

"- So, Mr. Magnus, the ancient ruins? Are you going to explore?"

That's what Aria said after the meal, enjoying the aroma of coffee.

Today was the day I decided to go on holiday, and I was back at the Town Gate until Laxta.

The interior and the guests were in a calm restaurant, and we were on a lunch date.

Either way, I answer Aria's questions.

"Oh. There are amazingly many ancient ruins in Alabana, as well as many untouched areas that have not yet been explored. That's where my magic items are sleeping."

Alabana is currently a country whose majority of the national territory is desert.

But according to the literature, until five hundred years ago, it was a very lush pattern of land.

Above all, I can tell you that even in the Arcelia world at the time, it was a magical and flourishing empire.

But not for long.

With the life of Emperor Alabana of Time, we challenge the magnificent magical ritual of citing the country - failure.

It's lost track of what that magical ritual was for, but anyway, you think the enormous magic that erupted has ravaged the area and turned the fertile earth into a desert overnight?

And the cities of his time buried under the sand that was exhausting, unto the present day.

Collectively, they are called "ancient monuments."

Explore inside and you'll see the remnants of an advanced magical civilization.

Naturally, the "Magic Items" used there at the time are also rolling, and some of them can be scattered even at modern magical technical standards that have not yet caught up, or that are difficult to produce.

It was those Lost Magic Items that I was after.

Or in the first place, more or less Rank A "items", such as the "Great Demon Wand" and "Guardian Angel Ring" that I own, were once unearthed by someone at an ancient site in Alabana and were transferred to market.

"And in a mean way, the Alabana Empire is the people who came and sat down later on the old Alabana Magic Empire buried in the sand."

Moreover, during the founding period of the dynasty, the country was cited to explore, unearth, and invade the surrounding countries with excellent "magic items" obtained. We expanded the territory to the outside of the desert.

But again, it won't be long to be proud of.

They eventually excavated the "Magic Items" found on the surface of ancient ruins, which were relatively easy to explore.

The only thing left to do was sleep in the depths of the ruins (magic items) that could not be reached without such a high level.

This is where the new Arabana Empire got stuck.

Without the benefit of the "magic items" of the old magic empire, they are built on a barren land called the desert, because it is only a nation with a poor economic base.

They took back the land they had taken, and the fuzzy territory shrunk down to a tiny country that, five hundred years later, was now only in the first desert.

Currently, only this Arabana and Leanhalter are claiming to be "empires" in the Eight Powers, but compared to the latter, the world's best power without a multiplier, Arabana was only the last of the Eight Powers - sometimes known as the "Little Empire" and so on.

"Ha. Mr. Magnus knows everything."

"You're a wizard. Just like scholars, it's called intellectual exploration."

I replied to Aria, who leaked a sigh of admiration, that I was nothing.

I don't even have to string up the Strategy Book about this much, and if you're a little interested in history, anyone will know.

"Alabana all the way down, and now it's that white powder bastard, it'll be a long way to go - I thought. The prince and the princess, in fact, seemed promising"

"Right! You saved Mr. Magnus, didn't you?

"Oh."

Nod me.

Thanks to this, I didn't have to do anything lawless, like magically break through a cell and break out of jail.

Moreover, he also gave me a Primary Permit to Explore Ancient Sites, so I can legally unearth "Magic Items".

"That's it, if you don't have a permit, you shouldn't be exploring it?

"Oh. Instead of bringing back the Magic Items, I'm not even allowed in. All ancient monuments have been under surveillance around their entrance for 24 hours by Alabana soldiers."

That's how Alabana manages the ancient ruins, because that's the only resource in that country anymore.

Called adventurers, they earn high tax revenues by selling "permits" each year to their unique Alabana occupations (in a mean way, burglars) that make exploration of ancient sites their business.

The higher the level of the Permit, the more ancient sites you can access, the different taxes you pay.

When it comes to "special" or "first class" that I have, it is not normally issued. These were no longer so much used as diplomatic cards against other countries.

"I'm not talking about the barn, but if Mr. Magnus can't magically break through with Dockern?

"Ha ha, I hope it still hurts"

To Aria's joke I slap my knee and laugh.

But in reality, there's no way such lawlessness can pass.

I magically forced myself to break through, but at the end of the day, I'm going to be on the blacklist as a sinner and chased all over Alabana.

So why don't you just hide who you are and break through? nonsense. As we repeat that, the Alabana Army said, "Unknown ruins vandalized! Don't be harsh!" This will result in heavier security for all sites.

There are not one or two ancient sites I would like to explore.

Ultimately, it's a terrible story about how many guards we have to kick. Even though they are innocent people who just work seriously and feed their families with the pay they get from the state.

So, why don't we just use Sleep? No, that's not either. Soldiers who have allowed a break-in into the ruins vandalism just because they won't be hurt directly with my hands will eat big eyeballs from their superiors. They will be punished for salary cuts, etc.

I do travel to kill the Demon King, to save the world.

For that great cause, will you be forgiven for doing anything?

No. No. No.

For a noble purpose, you don't have to choose the means, you can suffer a large number of people - how different is that egoistic justice from the invasion of humanity by the Demon King?

To kill the Demon King, a new Demon King is born.

Is there such irony?

... but I'm not a regular guy either.

If it doesn't bother the innocent at all, it can also stain your hands on illegal sleuthing practices.

Borrowing the wand of a lonely old man without permission or taking possessions from the villains is that it?

"Well, it's not an easy journey. Wouldn't you at least like to go with your chest up?"

"Thank you to both Your Highnesses for giving me the" Permit "to talk. By the way..."

Suddenly, Aria's eyes sat still.

"- Her Royal Highness Princess Farah is a beautiful woman, isn't she?

I'm not denying it.

I met her when the moonlight just plugged in, though in a stone prison.

She was a flashy beauty full of hegemony, as if the desert sun had appeared there.

Also Alabana is a country of heat and heat. Indoors, women dress dewy as well. It looks like underwear from another country, and it's not like that.

There are no more exceptions than His Royal Highness the Princess, at best enough to weave thin silk that is clear from the top. He had a grand exposure to brown skin, glossy as oiled.

Denying that charm would be a lie, wouldn't it?

"Heh. Ho. Hmm."

Aria held her eyes still, pointing her lips.

I pretend to be jealous - knowing I've gotten greedy with a beauty. This.

If it had been me a while back, I would have really taken it and been a werewolf.

But lately I finally figured it out.

Aria doesn't get jealous because of her shame. He believes in me all the way.

So this is just pretending.

"The only thing I like is Aria."

I just want you to tell me that.

I'm not usually in the mood for a floating dialogue.

Don't let Aria take the trouble.

"Is it true, Mr. Magnus?

"Oh. You doubt that?

"It was true. Say it again. I can hear you a little more, not Boso Boso."

"What, another turn?

I looked around the store quickly.

Even if I raised the volume of my voice a little, I checked it carefully to make sure it wasn't easy for me to be heard around.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

All right.

I'll tell you.

"Aria's the only one who likes me."

Ah, I bit you!?

I don't have enough training either!

I held my head by accident, but I couldn't.

Because Aria, who put the cup down, took my hands softly from across the small table.

And in a whispering voice, but I said it more clearly than I did.

"I'm just Mr. Magnus, too"

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

After lunch, he walked down the street, especially without a hit.

The two of us held hands the whole time, and we bickered.

It's just that all we talk about is my journey.

I don't know if there can be a more moody conversation, but I'm not that masterful, and most importantly, Aria wants to hear that story.

"I understand about Her Royal Highness, but what is Prince Haydal like?

"He seemed so weak that he didn't think he was the Crown Prince."

"Heh! That's the opposite of your sister."

"around (...) top (...)"

"What?"

I told Aria I was nothing.

It's Heydal who's behind the bandits.
