Maxi was relieved that Riftan did not have to face danger in the previous chapter. Readers are curious to find out how Maxi would progress her skills in Under the Oak Tree Chapter 87.
Ruth told Maxi she had to learn to cast a barrier, Maxi was not familiar with a barrier. Ruth explained to her that it was magic that created a barricade using matter such as rocks or dirt.
Compared to a shield, which created a protective wall purely from mana. A barrier only required a quarter of the mana.
Maxi was confused. She was wondering why Ruth did not teach her how to create a barrier first. Ruth explained that it was because a barrier was far more complex than a shield.
Ruth showed Maxi how complex it was, and Maxi thought that it would be easier to keep practicing the shield. Ruth assured Maxi not to worry about it, as the rune’s fundamental structures were the same.
So, it was going to take longer for her to learn, as the rune’s formula looked four times as complicated. Ruth mentioned that if she had sufficient mana, she would just practice using it skillfully.
But at that rate, even if they gathered mana for a whole year. She doubted she could cast a functioning shield. Ruth was wondering what spell Maxi could wield as soon as possible.
Recap
Ruth told her it would be better for her to learn every spell she could before she left. The king had ordered the Remdragon knights to join the campaign.
Ruth told Maxi he would do it soon enough because they had received the news that the situation in Livadon was growing serious.
The church was in Osiriya, and they were deliberating countermeasures. Though their decision was quite predictable, Maxi was wondering how long it would take to reach Livadon.
Ruth told Maxi that he had heard from Sir Hebaron that it was going to take them a month. He mentioned that even if they rode northwest for 2 weeks without rest, they would still have to sail for 10 more days.
So, it was going to take longer if they encountered monsters along the way. Ruth told her he did not wish to leave Anatol again for the next decade or so.
He had his fill of hardships in the Lexos mountains, yet there he was, off to another wretched campaign. Maxi was not sure if it would be alright for only a handful of knights to venture into such a dangerous place.
Ruth told her she did not have to worry, as they were combining forces with knights in Wedon. Maxi was wondering what knight he was referring to.
Ruth told her the king gave him his order, and all his vassals were sending their knights to form an army. It was usually how it was done when troops were sent across borders.
Both Balto and Osiriya were also going to send men, so he believed that everything would fall over by fall. He was sure that they would be back by early winter, at the very least.
Ruth told her she had to perform her duties to some extent while he was away. Maxi wanted to do her best, and Ruth was looking forward to seeing it. Maxi knew that hiring a skilled healer before Ruth left was probably the safest option.
