The Moonlight Swordsman

Chapter 261 Arcane Magic Circuits

"Ha..haha about the gifts, we don't really get the time to buy the gifts.

"You know the rogue mages were very dangerous, it was very difficult to beat them," Aizel said.

"Whoa...

"How did you beat them..

'Yes, tell us more about it....

Aizel entertained the children while they dined together by recounting exciting tales of their travels throughout the magnificent kingdom.

He spoke with a tone that was equal parts excitement and satisfaction as he recalled their mission.

He described in detail the battles that they had fought against powerful foes, including the sophisticated magic spells and incredible skills they had used to triumph over the forces of darkness.

"Awesomeee...

"Mumma is getting stronger...

"But next time, bring us with you, please....

"Yes, we will go with everyone next time," Aizel said.

"By the way, where is Shelly?" Aizel asked, noticing that she was missing.

"About that, she ate something bad and fell ill. She is resting in my room," Vespara replied.

"Nothing serious, right?"

"Yes, don't worry. I have given her a potion. She will bloom like a flower by tomorrow, ha...haha"

"And what about this meeting with the king?"

"Oh about that, well the Princess team and the Kingsley family team will be invited to a private dinner with the king," Vespara replied.

"What type of guy is he?" Aizel asked as he stared at Vespara deeply to not miss any detail.

"You can say he doesn't look like a king. And he is the weakest if we compare him to other kingdoms kings and queens.

"Weakest?" Aizel asked.

"Yeah, he is only a Grade VI mage,"

"What!" Aizel exclaimed.

"And you along with many other powerful mages, follow him, but why?"

"Even he is weak, he is really shrewd. You already know why I was following him, I had no choice.

"And other noble families have an ancient connection with the Felgura family. They have promised and bound some spell contract that they will always follow the next king or queen from the royal family," Vespara replied.

"What about that blue-haired guy?" Aizel asked, thinking about the Grade VIII mage.

"He is a very different person,"

"What do you mean?"

"You will get to know him more," Vespara winked.

"I don't want to. I would like to stay away from everyone.

"One more thing I wanted to ask something from you. That guy created a magic circle out of nowhere when he teleported me along with him onto a cliff. 

"I thought you had to create a magic circle before you could use it," Aizel asked.

He wanted to know if there was another type of spell or connection to this mystery.

"That is called Arcane Mana Circuits," Vespara replied.

"I didn't tell you about that because you are eventually going to learn that in the magic institute," She further added.

"So what makes it different?" Aizeld asked, his interest piqued.

"Well, Arcane Mana Circuits are the most difficult arts in the world of Xelgar.

"You have to learn a lot about magic circles, their properties, how the circle works, their uses and disadvantages, and many more. 

"Once you have mastered it, you can create any type of magic circle or even invent a new one of your own.

"You can create these circles with the mana present in the world and with the purest form of mana from the magic crystals. 

"A water mage who can't use a fire spell or has a fire core can learn and create a magic circle that either helps him to use fire spells or creates a fire immunity for some time and many more things like that.

"There are infinite possibilities with the magic circles," Vesparaa explained.

This is incredible, this is just like a magic system."

[Yes Master]

If I can master these Arcane Mana Circuits and with the help of my imagination... it is already giving me goosebumps just thinking about that," Aizel thought.

"But this is a very difficult art. Not every mage can perfect it and the ones who did will keep it hidden as their trump card." Vespara said.

"Can you use it?" Aizel asked.

"Of course," Vespara replied with a smug smile.

"Can you teach me?" 

"You are going to learn...

"There must be a condition for learning this type of art from the institute. I bet nobles are not that stupid, right?"

"Ahhh... I am sorry; I literally forgot about that. Yes, they will make you swear an oath and bind your soul to a contract."

"What is it about?" he inquired.

"You can't use that art against the royals and the noble families. Even in friendly duels, you can't use it or else your soul would be destroyed."

"What about you?"

"Oldie taught me, so I am free from the contract," Vespara replied.

"Please teach me then, Vespara," Aizel asked. 

He grabbed her hands and looked at her with puppy eyes.

"Pretty boy, you don't have to worry.

Suddenly, Vespara tightened her grip, holding Aizel's hands.

"I..will... teach...you...everything...." Vesparar slowly whispered in his ear.

"I only want to learn the art. Don't take this the wrong way, you hag."

"Hhahaha...."

"How much time do you think it will take for me to perfect this art?"

"Don't know. It depends on the person's capabilities and talent in this field.

"Even I had never invented my own magic circle. So you can even say I have yet to master this art."

Fuck, it's a long process then." Aizel thought.

[Don't forget about your imagination, Master; maybe it will be easy for us.]

Yes, you are right."

"Are mages from the other kingdom gonna use these arts in the tournament?" 

"Maybe if they know and are very desperate to win. Mostly everyone doesn't like to disclose something like this on a big stage." 

Aizel nodded with Vespara.

"What are you guys talking about?" Daisy asked. 

Daisy strolled back to the table, carrying a dish of hot meals. She smiled warmly as she joined Aizel at the table and waited for their responses.

"Nothing; I was just asking how it was for him to spend some time in another kingdom," Vespara replied.

She doesn't want her to know about that. Maybe nobles don't want everyone to learn this art," Aizel thought.
