Old Archmage Living As A Puppet Girl

Chapter Two

Touching the protective cover, it softly bounced her hand away as she pressed on it. Xavius took a few step back and landed a few shots from the magic runes and the protective cover deftly absorbed it. Then, she took a few meters back and jump kicked it. This time, the protective cover bounced her a few meters away.

"Huh."

Touching the film again, she murmured. "Physical attack would be bounced off while magic attack would be absorbed to strengthen it. This is interesting."

Looking left and right, she headed for the gate where she saw the metal rectangular thing beside it where she figured the mechanism might be.

Xavius pried open the mechanism door and squatted to study it.

There was a one meter tower mechanism and under it are countless magic runes inscribed on the metal. Some of the words are unknown to Xavius but some a bit familiar in it's shape of wording.

Xavius: Nani Σ(ﾟДﾟ)ノノ!!

Xavius: Did she become illiterate? ORZ

Putting aside the illiterate matters, she looked at the runes and tried to decipher it. "There are one, two, three... seven runes. I know one of the two are for physical attack resistance and the other is absorbing the magic particles. What are the other five for?"

Other than the tower-like gadget, she glimpsed a few crystal gems attached firmly on it.

"What type of crystal is this?" Narrowing her eyes, Xavius tried to search for all the crystal she knew but couldn't find it. As we all know, different crystal have different ways of uses. For example, the Pierro crystal. It was crystal formed deep underground and was used for communication. There are also rune communication but it can only send voices but using Pierro crystal can send picture. The name Pierro was taken from the magician who researched it.

Having no recollection of it, this may be a crystal found after his time of death. It is a big world after all. Who knows what other hidden treasure that nature made.

Another things is that, "Should I pry it out? I want to research it (☆▽☆)"

Although her hand was itchy, Xavius still understand that things can't just go the way you want it. What if she pries it apart and something happens.

Xavius closed the mechanism door and went to the back of the manor. Although it's in the middle of the jungle, the manor was really clean. No wild vegetation sprouted here and there. Not even vines or weeds in the front lawn but was clean and neat. The back of the house was even more impressive. It was really suitable for training an army.

Standing at the front of the training lawn, it was almost as big as the palace training field.

Stroking her chin, Xavius contemplated: "Is the 'master' in the military? Such a wide training place, I feel like I went back to the time when I became a guest of Trueton Kingdom."

Trueton Kingdom, one of the biggest and strongest kingdom, known for their military feats. Although they do have magicians working for the kingdom but there aren't as many as Sword Caster.

Back then, people can go and test to see if they have any magic particles in the body. If you have magic particles, there are two choice. Either became a Magician or a Sword Caster. A Magician have many roles to play. They can become a healer, an experimenter, an attack type magician or all three of them together. A Sword Caster, like it's name, focus more on swords rather than Magic. Magic is more to support them in fight.

Most people choose Magician as it has broad choice of profession but Trueton Kingdom are like an odd ball. Most of their people would choose to become Sword Caster as their kingdom focused on military. Even their Emperor would have to have a high military rank before becoming an emperor. Because of their military ways, their kingdom have military discipline traits and was one of the safes kingdom.
