    • Chapter 35, Divination Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   There was a popular joke that circulated among the common people on this continent. “When the dear mages launched magics, they are not only showing how good they are at using the divine power they owned, they are also showing how good they are at throwing away money.” Even the cheapest staff demanded a standard parangon atop. The amount of money a precious or rare staff was worth could definitely bury any rival of its…
    • Chapter 34, Horus’ Wrath Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   Amon did not tell Lynk where he had gone the day before. It was too complicated, and it was better to keep his privacy intact. Amon asked Lynk if there were any marshes or pools in the nearby iron-rich areas so that the Ironbacks could find a new home.   “I know of a good place, indeed,” Lynk answered after thinking a short while. “There’s a pool in the thick forest below the rocks to the southeast of the village, not…
    • Chapter 33, A Cat’s Melancholy Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   “Mortals can become gods, but the path should begin by waking the power of both sides. I think the gods have plotted together to hide this secret from the mortals. They divided the path to immortality into two, the well-known routes of magic and body arts. Neither of these two paths reaches immortality individually.”   “Practicing magic allows one to obtain the power given by the gods, even to get a precious glimpse of…
    • Chapter 32, A God’s Rib Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   Amon quickly improved at controlling the boat. He pointed the staff into the distance. Waves appeared around the Ironbacks, sending them towards the boat. Then he flicked the staff upwards and an invisible force dragged the Ironbacks onto the boat.   The boat was spacious enough for five big Ironbacks.   Exhausted and afraid of this strange space, the four big ones sprawled on their stomachs cautiously. The king…
    • Chapter 31, This Is Your Only Chance Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   Schrodinger was lying in the hay. It couldn’t be more real! Stepping closer, Amon could even hear the cat’s breath, rhythmic, like a faint purring. It seemed to be asleep but now Amon wasn’t so sure.   He had been well aware that the cat was extraordinary and might harbour secrets. He was telling himself that there were many things he couldn’t understand in a world with magic, so he was never that surprised by it. But…
    • Chapter 30, I Just Cannot Hate You Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   Amon was crying for his father, for Crazy’Ole, and for the Ducians. He finally knew what the disaster was, and had just confirmed it from the message in the Terroculus. Nietzsche died, his father died, Mayor Dusti died. No one in Duc had survived in the flood!   When he had heard the thunder and seen the low dark clouds from the east, Amon knew that there was a thunderstorm brewing. In his short fourteen years of life, Amon…
    • Chapter 3, Modus Ponens Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   Judah Fayol was in a good mood. Truthfully, he was kind of proud of himself. Rod Drick had given him 30 gold parans to award the craftsmen, but those were still in his bag. What he had put on the anvil for the boy was 30 silver coins, which was of the same size as a gold paran but weighed about half as much. The 30 silver coins were worth one and a half gold paran. The rest was his now.   He wasn’t afraid of Rod Drick blaming…
    • Chapter 29, Enlil’s Answer Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   The scene of Nietzsche flying into the sky and defying Enlil was floating around in Golier’s mind. He had a strong gut feeling that Nietzsche had known that Enlil would show up and that he waited under the flood until he had arrived, wanting him to witness something, something Golier knew was a message, but it’s content still eluded him.   Nietzsche was confirming something important, looking for an answer, but he couldn’t…
    • Chapter 28, Nietzsche’s Challenge Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   Behind Golier was his student Warret and his youngest apprentice Raphael. The two young men didn’t hear their teacher’s muttering, but they could tell that he was not in a good mood. It seemed that Duc was going to be destroyed by the flood. They chose to stand aside silently.   Golier stayed the whole day gazing in the direction of Duc on the ramparts, refusing to take a rest. The following noon, Governor Schmul came to him…
    • Chapter 27, Duc’s Disaster Cover
      by Silavin Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon   Everyone would be confused and distracted sometimes. It wasn’t something that called attention to itself in and of itself. But for a calm and stable person like Amon, it was an anomaly to be in such a state for a long time. He was a second-level mage that had fully mastered the basis of magic practice: meditation. To be disturbed continuously by various trivial thoughts and left unable to enter the state of serenity needed to focus on…
