How much time had passed since I had asked about Cross's kid? He still looked pleased and continued to talk about his family.
'Hey, Master Lid, isn't my daughter pretty? You see, I asked an artisan I know to paint my daughter and my wife on a small piece of paper. I always carry it with me so that I can look at it anytime, anyplace. Then Commander Dinas asked me who I preferred, my daughter or my wife. But that's a matter of course⁉ My wife or my daughter, both of them, of course⁉ What do you think, Master Rid?"
I, who kept listening to Cross' bragging about his wife and daughter, was stunned.
And before I knew it, I was in a state of flowing his story from right to left.
But I suddenly regained consciousness when he asked me a question.
"...... Eh⁉ Ah, yes. Yes, you can't really compare my wife and my daughter. ......"
Isn't that right⁉ I don't understand what Commander Dinas is thinking when he says such a thing......, and it's difficult to ...... understand his words.......and ......
Are there more...................? No way, is it still continuing ......? As my complexion began to turn to fatigue, the Goddess of Salvation spoke up.
'Please stop right there, Vice Commander Cross. If you are going to talk about the charms of your wife and daughter to Master Rid, it will be difficult for him to understand you. If you are going to speak, please speak to someone who can understand you."
"Deanna is right, isn't she? I am sorry to have to put you through such a long talk, Master Rid".
Cross, as pointed out by the goddess Deanna, bows to me as he finishes saying it.
I was indeed a little taken aback at the sight and smiled dryly.
'Haha ...... it's okay, I'm the one who asked about your child. More than that, I'd like you to teach me the skill of slicing away the spell you showed me earlier as soon as possible. ......"
"Oh⁉ That's right. I was so caught up in the conversation that I forgot about it".
Cross smiled brightly in response to my question and showed an expression of surprise.
At that moment, I had a slightly dark feeling and a certain question in my mind.
(......Is this personality the real reason why Commander Dinas took Rubens instead of Cross? ......)
After muttering in my mind, I huffed and shook my head.
I still don't know much about Cross.
And yet, it's not good to make assumptions.
Besides, he said I look like my mother and father, and he's going to teach me some new skills.
I give him a smug black smile.
'May I ask you to cut the jokes a bit and get started?
, "Yes, of course. I'll explain it to you.'
Cross seemed to sense the "black aura" that I had created with my dark smile, and he put on a slightly awkward face and began to explain to me about the "technique" that had just dispelled the magic.
I forgot how tired I was and started to listen to the story with my eyes shining.
The explanation was really interesting, and what Cross did was a kind of magic called "magic addition," which is similar to a magic barrier.
As the name implies, "adding magic" means to add the magic of the wielder to an object.
The " skill " that Cross just showed me was to add magic to a wooden sword, so instead of " wooden sword and magic, " magic and witchcraft " collided with each other and canceled out the magic that I had just fired.
I wrinkled my brows a little as I asked Cross for confirmation.
So you're saying that if ...... magic power is applied to an object, it can cancel out the spell of anything?"
"You are right, but not exactly. It is true that if you add magic to an object, you can make it a magical weapon that can cancel out the spell . However, if the object does not have the durability to resist magic, the object itself will be destroyed before it can be offset even if magic is added."
The object's durability does not endure? Even though you are adding magic? I looked at Cross with a suspicious expression on my face, wondering what he was trying to say.
Cross looked at my face and continued his explanation with a smile on his face.
"Let's say you hit a pebble with a wooden sword "and it flies away. The pebble will fly away, but there will also be a slight impact on the wooden sword that struck it. The same goes for adding magic, and although the magic can be canceled by the added object, the impact of the magic when it is received cannot be erased".
"The same is true of magic-added objects: they can cancel magic, but they cannot eliminate the impact of the magic. So, if the magic-added object can't endure the impact of the offensive magic, it can't cancel it out."
In response to my question, Cross nodded and continued talking while showing me the wooden sword.
"You are right. When I sliced away Master Rid's magic just now, there was a certain amount of shock. If the magic had been more powerful, even with the magic added, the wooden sword would have broken first from the impact of catching the spell, and I don't think it would have been able to offset it."
After I finished listening to Cross's explanation, I turned my head down as if in thought.
This is a very interesting magic to add magic.
The quality of the "object " to be added is also important, although it can be used to offset offensive magic.
And depending on the amount of magic power and ability of the person performing the magic, it may be possible to do a variety of things. For example,......, as I was thinking about this, a question arose in my mind and I posed it to Cross.
"...... you mean that offsetting by magical power impartation is effective against magic produced by ...... magic power, right? Then is it less effective for magic called 'manipulative magic'?"
Cross looked surprised at my question.
"You noticed it very well, You are right. The manipulative magic of the earth and wood attributes is not a magic generated by magic power. It is manipulating existing earth and trees, so you could call it 'magic with an object. Even with the addition of magic, it is not easy to cut the moving earth and wood with manipulative magic. I don't think there are many people who would use this type of spell, but if someone uses earth and tree magic, you can either deal with them with a magic barrier or just lose."
The more I listen to Cross, the more I feel the potential of spell.
On the other hand, it seems to be very hard when you actually have to fight with magic, swords, and everything else.
But ...... magic is still an interesting thing.
As I was smiling happily at my newfound knowledge of magic, Cross suddenly clapped his hands with a 'pan' sound.
Now, Master Rid, that's enough explanation, the next step is to try to actually 'add magic power. Once you've done that, you and I will be standing around using our magic as well."
'I'll master it in no time.'
Cross smiled happily at me as I nodded and replied with a big smile on my face.
