The girl started waving her hands in embarrassment, as a sign that I misunderstood her.
"I have no bad intentions, so you can put away that sword. If I had bad intentions, I wouldn't have helped you escape." She said.
"Okay, fine."
I put away my sword.
"I watched you for a moment and wondered what you would do with those thugs. You bravely approached them."
I didn't comment on it.
"From your clothes and appearance, I can see that you're not from here."
Okay.
"How long have you been in the capital?" She asked.
"One day."
I sat down next to her, I felt that the conversation would last a while.
"You're probably interested in what's going on here, so I can explain it to you."
The girl had burgundy hair, medium length, parted almost in the middle. The hair was cut in a specific way. You could say that it was layered. She was wearing a white shirt, a leather corset and short, also leather, shorts. The coat she wore was a bit darker than the color of her hair.
The burgundy-haired girl touched her chin with her hand, wondering where to start. She was sitting cross-legged on the roof and watching people from above.
"You could say that the current king was murdered. At least that's what the rumors are."
Oh, interesting.
"He was young, he had no family, no wife, so nothing was left of him, and the entire continent was left without a king."
Oh, cool.
"Actually, that's all in a nutshell, hehe..." She turned to me, noticing that I was focused on something else.
"I have to get stronger somehow..." I mumbled to myself, looking at something other than the girl sitting next to me.
If such thugs, like the ones I saw a moment ago, allow themselves to do such things, then I have to be stronger than them. The ones who approached me were definitely weaklings, but you never know who'll come... . I suddenly finished my thought when I heard the word magic.
"Hm? Do you have any connection with magic?" She asked, changing the subject.
"What magic? I don't understand." I looked back at the girl.
"Some people can use magic. Where have you been all this time if you don't know such things?"
"Actually, hmph....., I've been living in the beast's territory the whole time, haha..." I lied.
Lying like that isn't very good, but what
am I supposed to answer her?
"What? It's unrealistic for a person to survive there for more than a week completely alone." She was surprised.
"Back to the topic, how many people can use magic?" I asked.
"For 400 years, no one new has been given such an opportunity."
My dreams of becoming strong fell apart when I heard that. The girl noticed how I reacted.
"Supposedly about 2000 people on this continent got this ability. There were many more magic users, but over time many people died."
" Such people live much longer than the average person, currently 5 people live over 400 years. When a magic user dies, they can pass on this gift to their descendants. For some reason, most did not take advantage of this opportunity."
" It makes no sense." I commented.
" The king who died 10 years ago was one of those who lived 400 years. The government could not find the right person for a long time, because to become a king you have to have magic."
Didn't she mention a moment ago that he was young..?
" Over 90% of current magic users are people who are very educated and high in society, so none of them want to be a king."
I'm not surprised why someone would need such a pain in the ass as the title of king.
The girl took a breath.
"Due to all this mess with the king, people began to allow themselves more freedom, more thefts and murders began to occur."
"It's actually not good " I confirmed.
The girl noticed that something was bothering me. She guessed that it was because of how few people can use magic.
"Speaking of magic, it's not exactly like I said. I mean that there are two types of magic and only the second one is rare, so you have nothing to worry about." She tried to comfort me.
"And what are these types and what are their characteristics? "
"The first type is type A, everyone has it in them. It is characterized by the fact that you are able to strengthen weapons during combat, heal minor wounds, and some experienced ones can attract objects. "
"Meh, boring. And what does the second type look like?"
"The second type is called AB, this is the type that people from 400 years ago have."
"Do you know what this power looks like?"
"In the AB type, each person has their own, so it's hard to determine."
"This continent is huge, but remember that the counter of 2000 people is only in Limervan."
So the continent I am located on is called Limervan.
"I hope that these basics will make your life a little easier, I have no idea how on earth you didn't know that, haha..." She laughed, embarrassed.
I don't know why I didn't know that either.
"Okay, it's time for me to go."
The girl stood up, put away her bow.
"Wait a moment! What's your name and where can I get magic" I shouted.
When I said that, the wind started blowing hard. I had to shout so she could hear me.
The girl turned to face me. She put her hand on her hip and smiled. "My name is Sydia and when it comes to magic, there are a few solutions."
So it's not impossible to have magic!
"Hmm, I think you'd get an answer at the academy, but only the nobility have access there. There's also a possibility of getting an artificial magic core, maybe you'll manage to get it."
"Do you know where I can find it?"
I stood up and patted my dress.
"If you're so ambitious, I think it won't be a big problem."
The world can be divided into "two hemispheres of the same planet". The first is ordinary people living on planets.
And what about the second part?
Some beings in the universe do not have their own place, so they live with people on the same planet. There would be no problem with that, but a being with the power of God among mortals? Fortunately, no one in society knows about "these beings", so they live in peace, and these beings do not reveal their identity. Sometimes, however, this can involve serious problems.
Lytia, woke up in the "forest of the Beasts". She does not remember anything from her adventure so far, but she knows one thing, that she has lost her magic and must regain it. She only remembers the man with white hair who brought her to this place. Why did he decide to leave her completely alone in such a place?
