Codes huh . . .
I do know few magic for deciphering codes .
But it can take too long to decipher a code depending on its level of complexity .
I also know a magic that can decipher any kind of code in an instant in exchange for an enormous amount of mana consumed, but unfortunately it’s not usable to the me right now .
” . . . Guess I can only hope the codes are simple . ”
“I have full confidence in Mathias-san being able to decipher it . ”
“I can’t say for sure before taking a look at them . . . Could you gather the documents in one place for now?”
Number of samples are the most important thing in deciphering codes .
The more samples there are, the easier it is to find a common point and to try out all kinds of angles .
“Yes . I had the same idea so I’ve arranged them to be gathered . . . I believe there have been about 10 pieces delivered already . ”
Ooh .
He sure can get the job done .
“Where are you putting them?”
“Here . . . In the basement of Second Academy . This building is presently the safest place in the capital after all . ”
Grevil threw out his chest .
Indeed, this academy makes the top of the safest place in capital list .
I mean, students who have been training in proper chantless magic are walking around all over this place .
Though I’m not sure which comes out first if compared to the royal castle . . . but there’s no doubt the academy is well suited for safe keeping of secret documents .
“Second Academy students and the knights are working together to collect the documents . They departed quite awhile ago, so it shouldn’t be too long now until they get back . ”
“Got it . . . But is it really okay to let students do the document gathering work . . . ?”
Students’ duty is to study and practice .
I’m not sure if getting them to collect documents is the right thing to do here .
“Many students in Second Academy aspire to apply at the knights after all . Many of those which wish to have an internship at the knights . ”
“Un . My family also told me to give my all experiencing how knights are like when I was departing for Second Academy . ”
“Me too I’ve heard about that! . . . In my case, it was about how you could undergo many unusual experience and even got money for it, so the competition was tough . . . ”
I see .
Never knew that Second Academy had that system .
To think knight internship would be popular . . . I had no idea about that at all .
. . . My father Castor is supposedly an old guard of Second Academy though .
” . . . I got it . No problem then . ”
These royal academies are not the same as ordinary [schools] indeed .
They even put the biggest priority in combat-related magic and all . . . I guess it’s like some sort of military academy .
Well, I’m thankful if the academy is helping .
The knights are gradually training in and getting better at chantless magic themselves . . . But Second Academy students are just more adept at it .
With their adeptness in magic, transporting the documents should take less time than normal .
“As such Mathias-san, please wait a bit more . ”
“Got it . I’ll wait . ”
It’s not my place to intervene if they’re already on the move transporting documents .
My soul still hasn’t made a complete recovery from reviving Gaias anyway, might as well take it easy till the documents are here .
◇
Two days after my return to the capital .
“And this one is the last of today’s shares!”
“A section of documents from distant territories is scheduled to arrive the day after tomorrow . . . We’re at 70% for the time being!”
Documents are getting delivered into a conference below Second Academy’s building .
There are 52 piece of documents that have been delivered in total .
Apparently the remaining 30% will be delivered later . . . Let’s work on deciphering what we have first .
20 pieces of those are normally readable without issue . . .
. . . There’s nothing of note in documents written in the continental common language .
“Un . It’s all obsolete info . . . ”
“They do have locations of those demons written down . . . But those demons have all died off anyway . ”
The language we’re using is known as Continental Common Language .
Since it’s also commonly used in Raginia Federation, I’ve never been conscious of it as a language in particular .
Information from documents written in this common language were all useless trivia .
Stuff like intimidations between demons like 『** is my hideout, piss off』, to 『Kill Mathias Hildesheimr, he’s an eyesore』, to, 『X Day Y Month, a wagon carrying a large amount of cash will be on the move . It’s our chance to get our hands on the currency humans use . 』, in short, all simple messages .
Demons from these messages are no longer of this world, so they’re all pointless .
Which means . . .
“These ones are our problem huh . ”
I look at documents written in an unknown language .
There are 32 pieces of documents remaining .
It’s in a language I’m not familiar with either . . . All these 32 pieces of documents seem to be written in this one language .
