久久一本通凹凸一道久视

A few days passed while Leon was training with his friends and trying to learn the Seal spell. On a random day, a few of his acquaintances called him; the first one had been Sarah.

"Hello, it\'s been a long time. Are you busy at the moment?"

"No, I\'m more or less free now," Leon said and then decided to stop his daily practice to learn Seal.

"Well, I just contacted you to inform you that the nations of Africa became our allies. We negotiated with them and then accepted the alliance when we sent a few water mages and some magic weapons to help them in the battle against fire monsters."

"So, until now, they had difficulty against that type of enemy?" Leon asked.

"Yes, just like in North Europe, you found several types of ice monsters, and in Brazil, you found several insect-like monsters, the Africans had a lot of dungeons which spawn fire monsters."

"I see…" Leon rubbed his chin.

It looked like Leon could be of some use there and put his amulet and ice magic to good use there… if he had time, which he didn\'t.

"By the way, I heard that you regenerated your limbs and healed Gisela\'s eyes. Congratulations."

"So, do you want to send some people over for me to heal?" Leon asked.

"Is that obvious?"

"Yes, but don\'t worry, you don\'t have to be so roundabout about such a thing, it\'s not really a problem," Leon said. "Still, you must warn anyone injured who wants to see their bodies back to normal. It\'s isn\'t a painless process, I don\'t think the spell can actually fail, but at worst, those who I heal will end up unconscious for a few days."

"I see, thank you very much for your understanding. I will inform the people about the pain… Changing the subject, the engineers who are trying to replicate the choppers finally discovered a few things. Even though they are more or less understanding of how the engine can absorb mana, it\'s impossible to replicate because the engine is made of an unknown metal."

"I see… so it\'s not only alien technology but the metal used to create the engine is also from another world." Leon rubbed his chin. "Still, that took quite a while for you guys to notice that."

"Well, the appearance and texture of the engine looked like regular steel, but after doing some tests, we concluded it wasn\'t the same. The metal is much more resilient and lighter."

"Is that so… it looks like a good substance to make armors and weapons of." Leon said.

"Do you think you can replicate it?"

"I don\'t know; I trained to make only steel because I think it would be enough for my personal use," Leon answered. "I have one of those choppers so I can try to replicate, but right now, my hands are full since I\'m trying to make magic items."

"So, you are finally studying that ring? Well, I wish you luck with that. No pressure, but we are looking forward to you solving the mystery behind it. If we could mass-produce magic items, we would be able to do a lot more things by ourselves."

"I\'m aware of it, but just like everything else when it comes to magic, I won\'t learn overnight," Leon said.

"I understand."

After that, the call ended, and Leon resumed his practice. But soon after, he received another call, this time from Yuki.

"Did something happen?" Leon asked.

"Can\'t I call you without needing your help for something?"

"You didn\'t call until now, so I thought you wouldn\'t unless something big happen," Leon said.

"I called you… I invited you and your friends to my coronation. But I heard you were busy saving lives in Brazil."

"Bad timing, huh," Leon said. "Well, congratulations on your promotion. Once I learn my new trick, I will send my gift."

"It wasn\'t my birthday, so you don\'t have to send gifts… anyway, it was just a big ceremony and festival. Knowing you, you would refuse and spend the time in your basement doing your shady things."

"So, you already heard about it," Leon said, impressed. "We just train here, nothing more."

"I suspected as much. Well, I also called you to inform you that the survivors in Australia accepted to become our allies."

"Finally, huh," Leon said. "It took quite a while, did you run into some problems with them?"

"Not at all, we had an amicable relationship with them. They just took a while to accept the alliance for the sake of appearances; they had no reason to refuse it since so many nations are already working together. They had no choice but to pretend that they were thinking about it because, until now, they managed to survive on their own. The leaders there would appear weak if they accepted the proposal so readily, the population wouldn\'t like that."

"Yeah, I can imagine that." Leon nodded. "Anyway, now we just have to negotiate with China and India."

"Yeah, but it won\'t be easy. For the time being, they are busying hunting in the dungeons the Russians can\'t watch, so they are not doing anything against Japan. However, even with the things, you may offer to them like teaching basic magic and Heal. I doubt that they will become allies that easily."

"Why do you think so?" Leon frowned.

"You know that India and China had a big population in the past, right? They lost a lot of lives, but they still had many. According to our alliance estimations, we have two million soldiers and fifteen million citizens. The Indians have two times more than that and the Chinese four."
