Hyperdimensional game! The ultimate aesthetics of violent wizards

"Okay, I'll pick you up in a week." Samir agreed.

Chapter 59: Buying a "Car" for Free

Because the work for the day was not finished yet, my uncle went back to work after lunch. If there were no distinguished guests visiting today, his lunch would usually be delivered by my aunt.

After lunch, Irena started her magic study. Although she didn't have a clear idea, she knew that there was a huge gap between her and Rhine. If she didn't study hard, she might not even be able to see Rhine's back, let alone overtake him.

Rhine was half lying on Irena's bed, leisurely reading the documents he had taken from his father's study, answering Irena's questions from time to time, looking very comfortable.

"Is this matter just over like that?" Crossing his legs, Rhine felt a little unreal. He thought he would be beaten up today. After all, his uncle had just asked him to be quiet, but he got into trouble again. He simply didn't take his words to heart.

And from the fuel-air bomb he used this morning, my uncle had every reason to believe that he was the one who blew through the forest. With that kind of power, my uncle wouldn't be surprised if it flattened the forest, let alone split it in half. But fortunately, the blonde witch used magic to restore the ecological environment of the forest.

"So what do you want? Let your dad spank you?" Irena looked at Rhine with a strange expression.

"No." Rhine shook his head quickly. But after thinking carefully, although this situation was beyond his expectations, it was also reasonable. Irena didn't tell her uncle because it would implicate herself, and her aunt didn't tell her uncle because she knew he wouldn't be in any danger.

"Thanks, here's a strawberry pudding." Rhine took out a pudding from his backpack and threw it to Irena. As early as when he was punished to stand, Hedgehog Head had already handed over all of Misaka Mikoto's snacks to him.

"What is this?" Irena asked curiously after taking it and pinching the plastic packaging of the pudding.

“Delicious food.”

"Just tear off the thin film on top and eat it with a spoon." Rhine said, taking out a mango pudding and two spoons from his backpack and began to demonstrate to Irena.

As for why he carries tableware in his backpack, isn't it normal for a foodie? Not only tableware, but also pots, pans, and various masalas (seasonings) so that he can eat delicious food when he lives in the wild in the future.

Irena followed Rhine's example and tore open the plastic wrap of the pudding. She picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of pudding into her mouth. "Mmm!!! Delicious!"

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Rhine asked proudly.

"I've had this dessert before. It's delicious, but not as delicious as the one my mom makes." Irena commented after taking a few bites of the pudding.

"What!!! Can my aunt make it too?" On second thought, pudding originated in medieval England. Although the overall development level of this world is also in the Middle Ages, it has a historical heritage of tens of thousands of years.

The low level of science and technology is due to the comprehensive checks and balances of the feudal system. This is not Earth, this is a world of swords and magic, and the feudal forces hold absolute power, so strong that the common people will never be able to overthrow it. They will not allow and will not allow the Industrial Revolution to happen.

However, the lack of technology does not mean that technology in other fields has stagnated in the development of tens of thousands of years. For example, fields such as food, music, poetry, magic props, handicrafts... have been constantly improving and perfecting, and the heights they have reached are far beyond the reach of human civilization with only a few thousand years of history. Therefore, Rhine feels that he can no longer look at this alien world with the eyes of the Middle Ages.

"Well, if you don't believe me, let mom make it for you next time."

"I believe it, I believe it very much."

"Have you ever eaten all these?" Rhine took out potato chips, French fries, marshmallows, Pocky, Gourmet Bars, and other modern snacks from his backpack like a magic trick.

"Where did you get it from?" Rather than the snacks, Irena was more curious about how Rhine managed to create so much food out of nothing.

"Don't worry about where I got them from. Just try them and see which one you like best." He didn't believe that no modern snack could conquer Irena.

"But I just finished lunch and I'm still full. Can I eat later?" Although Irena was also very interested in these foods, even the most delicious food would become bland after eating.

"Okay, then try it again after class tonight." Rhine didn't believe that there was any child in the world who could resist the temptation of snacks.

"Rhine, didn't you say you would help your aunt clean the utility room? Where are you?" My aunt's voice came from the backyard.

"I'm coming!"

"I'm going to help. You learn slowly on your own. Write down the questions you don't know how to answer and I'll answer them one by one tonight." Rhine waved his hand, and all the snacks on the table disappeared. Irene's eyes lit up and she kept asking how he did it.

"Aunt, do you need me to do anything?" After going downstairs, Rhine ran to the backyard.

Looking at the storage room filled with things, it’s not really messy. It’s just that there are too many things and they are all piled in a small space, which makes it look messy.

Among so many dazzling objects, the brooms hanging on the wall immediately caught Rhine's attention. He needed nothing but a broom (flying prop) that could allow him to fly freely.

Victoria noticed Rhine's gaze, stepped over a pile of debris on tiptoe, and took down a few brooms from the wall. "These are the brooms I used before. I couldn't bear to throw them away after I retired. They have been here for more than five years." Auntie said with emotion.

"Pick one. Think of it as your aunt's gift to you for school admission."

"For them, seeing the light of day again in your hands means much more than being covered in dust in a storage room. Maybe they can even bear witness to history," my aunt joked.

"Thank you, aunt. What are the differences between these brooms? Which one do you think is more suitable for me?" Although he could use the identification skill to see the information of these brooms, it was far less practical than the suggestions of the original owners.

"The first broom focuses on speed. Under normal circumstances, its regular flight speed can reach the critical speed of sound, which is 1314 kilometers per hour. After accelerating to the limit, its maximum speed can reach 5 times the speed of sound, which is 6570 kilometers per hour. Without considering magic consumption, theoretically it only takes more than five hours to fly from the westernmost end of the continent to the easternmost end of the continent."

"Awesome! But isn't the speed of sound 1224 kilometers per hour? Why is it 1314 kilometers?"

"That's not right. The speed of sound recognized by the academic community is 365 meters per second," my aunt corrected.

"Then I must have remembered it wrong." Well, this is not Earth. The air here contains ether (magic), and the speed of sound will naturally deviate due to the different propagation media. The speed of sound on Earth cannot be used to indicate the speed of sound in another world.

But this is even more terrifying, 6570 kilometers per hour! What does this mean? The fastest aircraft on earth, the North American X-15, has a maximum flight speed of only 6.85 Mach (7274 kilometers per hour), and it is still flying in the thin air of near space, while my aunt's broom can reach Mach 5.

Seeing Rhine's excited expression, my aunt poured cold water on him. "Don't be too happy too soon. This broom is a concept machine used by the dwarves as a product gimmick. At that time, they specially spent a lot of money to invite me, a legendary witch, to promote them. Even at my peak state, I only lasted more than a thousand seconds at the maximum speed before my magic power ran out.

"It is not calculated by magic consumption per kilometer like ordinary flying props, but by magic consumption per second. Even if it is just a normal flying speed, the magic consumption is not something that ordinary witches can afford, let alone a magic apprentice like you."

"The second broom focuses on maneuverability. Although its top speed is only 500 kilometers per hour, it only takes two seconds to accelerate from 5 to 500 kilometers per hour, and only five seconds to accelerate to the top speed. It feels great in the hand, has flexible steering, and can complete sharp turns, emergency stops in the air, and serpentine swings at high speeds. The mana consumption is linked to the current speed. For example, at a top speed of 500 kilometers per hour, the mana consumption for one kilometer is 200; if the speed is 200 kilometers per hour, the mana consumption for one kilometer is , and so on."

"The third broom focuses on the efficiency of magic conversion, that is, the endurance. Although the maximum flying speed is only 300 kilometers per hour, the advantage is that the magic consumption is extremely low. The average magic consumption per hour is only 500. You heard it right, the magic consumption of this broom is calculated by the hour. Even the most ordinary witch can fly non-stop for seven or eight hours without any means of magic recovery."

"The fourth broom focuses on comfort and experience. Although the flying speed is similar to that of the most common flying props (100-200), it has added various auxiliary functions. In addition to the navigation function and the automatic driving function, it also has a sleep mode. After entering the sleep mode, the magic array on the broom will automatically converge and solidify into an air single bed with a width of 0.9 meters and a length of 1.8 meters. It also has a light distortion function, which can not only create a comfortable sleeping environment for the driver, but also prevent people outside from seeing the situation inside, ensuring privacy. The most important thing is that it is the only flying prop here that can use external energy. Even people without magic power can activate the flying prop after embedding magic ore or magic core of magic beasts. This means that as long as there is enough energy, it can fly non-stop 24 hours a day."

"The fifth broom focuses on safety. It is not only equipped with a large number of defensive formations, but also with powerful offensive formations and offensive inscriptions. You can think of it as a mobile fortress in the sky. However, every attack or defense consumes a large number of formation cores, which is simply called burning money."

"And the last broom... it has no advantages compared to the other brooms, but it is also the most special one. Because it has spiritual intelligence. According to the Eastern saying, it has a spirit. But now it has been sealed by me and is sleeping."

Chapter 60: A New Car

After listening to his aunt's introduction to the six brooms, Rhine made a summary in his mind.

The advantage of the first broom is its extreme speed, but its disadvantage is its high mana consumption. It is suitable for rapid marches in a short period of time and can be of great advantage when traveling or escaping.

The advantage of the second broom is its high maneuverability, but its disadvantage is also its high mana consumption. It is suitable for aerial combat between mages, and can dominate both dogfights and chase battles.

The advantages of the third broom are its long endurance and low magic consumption, but its disadvantage is that it is too slow and is only suitable for medium and short distance travel.

The advantages of the fourth broom are that it has multiple functions and a good experience, and it can also use external energy. The disadvantage is that the speed is too slow and it is not suitable for long-distance travel.

The advantage of the fifth broom is its high safety, which is equivalent to carrying a mobile fortress with you, but its disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive. It is only suitable for use when exploring mazes or secret places.

As for the sixth broomstick... exclude it directly. What he needs is a tool, not a partner. His rigid requirement for flying props is performance, not intelligence. In Rhine's view, props are just props. Don't make things complicated. Props don't need to have their own thoughts and feelings, otherwise they will definitely encounter a lot of trouble.

In addition, the third, fourth and fifth can also be ruled out. Because for Rhine, the third and fourth are not very practical, and he is not going on a trip. Not to mention the fifth, can the firepower attached to the broom be stronger than his own firepower? When he grows up, he will be a mobile fortress.

The only thing that made him feel conflicted was whether to choose the first broom or the second broom. He didn't want to give up either of them.

"Aunt, can I have an extra broom? I want it no matter if it's the first or the second one." Rhine said truthfully with a thick face.

"Of course." Victoria was not dissatisfied with Rhine's shameless request, but rather a little happy. Because every broom here carries a memory of the past for her, even if Rhine doesn't want it, she can't sell it, so instead of letting them gather dust in the utility room, it is better to let them shine in Rhine's hands, which can also be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

"Really? Can I really have two brooms?" Rhine asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true. How could your aunt lie to you? I told you that these brooms mean much more to you than if they were gathered in the utility room. If you want, I can even give you all of them."

"No, no, these two brooms are enough for me. The others should be left to Irene. I remember she said she wanted to travel around the world when she grows up. Then these brooms can just meet her needs." He had already gotten enough things for free from his aunt. Even if his aunt didn't care, he couldn't continue to be greedy.

"Are you really not going to choose another one? The two brooms you want have very high magic consumption and are not suitable for daily travel. What's more, you are still a magic apprentice. Even if you have a magic storage capacity far exceeding that of your peers, you will not be able to bring out the advantages of these two brooms in a short period of time." Victoria persuaded.

"Thank you, auntie, but I really don't need it. For daily travel, an ordinary flying broom is enough for me." Moreover, for Rhine, who has the blessing of the artifact (recovering 4% of the maximum mana per second), the disadvantage of high mana consumption is really not a disadvantage, because no matter how fast the mana consumption is, it is not as fast as his mana recovery speed. This kind of proportional mana recovery blessing is almost like playing a real-life version of unlimited firepower after he grows up.

"I'm so sorry, I don't have any ordinary flying props here. How about you take this broom? As long as the spirit of the weapon is sealed, it can be an ordinary flying broom."

“No, no, no, it’s such a waste to use a flying prop that has given birth to a spirit as an ordinary flying prop. Let’s leave it to Irene. Maybe she can become good friends with this broom in the future.” What Rhine didn’t know was that in the original book, Irene really became best friends with her broom.

"Anyway, ordinary flying brooms are not expensive. You can buy them anytime you want. And I believe that the magic academy will also provide students with flying props, so my aunt doesn't have to worry about it."

"Okay, then auntie will briefly tell you how to use the flying props."

"No need, aunt. I have already learned how to use it. Can I test drive it now?" Rhine asked expectantly.

Being able to fly freely in the sky like a bird has always been a dream of mankind. Thanks to the advancement of science and technology, people have realized this dream of flying. For most ordinary people, flying to the sky is easy, just a matter of buying a plane ticket; but it is a bit difficult to fly freely.

In this world of swords and magic, even if you are not a wizard, you can still fly if you have practiced to a certain level; for wizards, flying is as easy as drinking water.

Rhine has flown on commercial airliners, experienced fighter jets in Russia, and even tried skydiving and hang gliding, but he was always accompanied by a professional instructor. He was more like a passenger than a driver.

But riding a broom is different, you can really go wherever you want. After briefly experiencing the joy of free flight in the morning, he fell in love with this feeling.

"Of course you can, but with your current magic power reserves, this broom is the most suitable." My aunt picked up the broom with the lowest magic power consumption and suggested.

"It's okay. The ancient treasure I have has a blessing that can greatly increase the speed of magic recovery. As long as I fly slower, I can barely keep up with the magic consumption of the broom. Otherwise, I would not have chosen these two brooms." Rhine explained.

"It is indeed the product of the highest civilization of the High Elves Era, and it is even comparable to the legendary artifacts." My aunt said with emotion. Even a legendary strongman like her had never obtained such an ancient treasure, but now it appeared in the possession of a four-year-old child.

"Little Rhine, you must know how to hide your shortcomings at school and don't stand out too much. This world is complicated, and being overly outstanding may not always bring you praise, but may also bring you malicious intent. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, especially for a male like you. For some people with malicious intentions, they will not think about whether you are really outstanding, but will guess whether you have some treasure. Never underestimate the darkness of human nature." Victoria warned earnestly.

"Don't worry, aunt. I'm not that stupid. I just let my nature out in front of you. I'm very cold and low-key in front of outsiders. I'll try not to take action if I can, but once I do, I'll leave no one alive." Having lived two lives and experienced the dark baptism of the empire, how could he not know that human nature is sinister?

Don't think that he is so carefree now and does not hide his "talent" in front of his uncle, aunt, and Irena, because he has accepted their family in his heart. If it were a stranger or a casual acquaintance, he would be in a different mood.

"If you can understand, I won't say more. Anyway, you must not trust others easily in this world. Even if it is your companions in the same adventure team, you should keep an eye on them before you fully understand their character. It is good to find a companion who can entrust his life to you, but not all companions can entrust their lives to each other."

"Okay, I've cast an invisibility spell on you, so you can fly without worrying about being seen by other villagers."

"Thank you, Auntie! I'll go test drive it now and I'll be back soon."

"Well, don't fly too far, too high, or too fast on your first flight, otherwise it will easily cause an accident." Although Rhine seemed a little unreliable, Victoria still believed that he would not joke with his own life.

"I understand, aunt."

After Rhine rode on the highly maneuverable broom, he lifted the broom handle up little by little, as carefully as if he were adjusting the temperature of hot water in winter.

When the height climbed to forty or fifty meters in the air, the body tilted forward at an extremely slight angle, and after sensing the shift of the center of gravity, the broom also began to move forward slowly.

20 kilometers, 30 kilometers, 40 kilometers... the tilt angle became larger and larger, until the broom reached its maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour, when Rhine shifted to 10th gear and locked the current speed. Before unlocking, no matter how he changed the tilt angle of his body, the broom's flying speed would not change. The speed interval between each gear is 50 kilometers, and ordinary flying props generally have 4 gears. If there is no such function, flying long distances and flying in the same posture without moving will be exhausting.

500千米的时速意味着每飞行一千米就需要消耗500的魔力值，根据速度与时间的计算公式可以算出扫帚的极限飞行速度为139米每秒（500X1000÷3600），飞过1000米的距离则需要7.2秒（1000÷139）。换句话说就是极限速度下扫帚的耗魔量约为每秒70点魔力值（500÷7.2）。

Rhine's magic recovery speed in non-combat state is about 170.6 magic points/second (4265×4%), which is far more than the broom's maximum magic consumption of 70 magic points/second. Even when the magic recovery speed is halved in battle, it can still reach a recovery speed of 80.3 magic points/second, which is still greater than the magic consumption of 70 magic points/second. That's why the disadvantage of high magic consumption is not a disadvantage for him at all.

If you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel the world. It is precisely because he had already calculated the result that he chose to test drive the broom without hesitation and increased the speed to the maximum speed without fear. He is not afraid of death, but he will not die. Behind the seemingly reckless behavior is the result of precise calculation.

Unlike airplanes, the fairing at the front of the flying broom is made of a transparent magic film, which provides a very wide field of vision. Rhine, who is sitting on the broom, cannot feel the wind resistance generated by the broom when it moves at high speed, but he is sure that he is not in a confined space. It is really amazing. If he has the chance, he would like to disassemble the broom to see the principle.

Chapter 61: The Price of Being Above

After flying for about an hour, Rhine, who had had enough fun and was about to go home to help his aunt sort out the clutter, discovered... damn, he was lost!

He was so engrossed in the fun that he didn't realize he was so far away from home without realizing it. You have to know that the broom was flying at the maximum speed during this hour.

What does this mean? It means he has flown 500 kilometers! If he had flown in a straight line, it would have been fine. He could have just turned around and returned the same way. But the problem was that he was too excited and kept doing all kinds of stunts, including cobra maneuvers, bell maneuvers, three and a half turns in the air, sharp turns, falling leaves, etc.

Flying east and west, he had long forgotten where he came from. If he was in Roberta, it would be fine, as he roughly knew which direction the village was in. But the problem was that 500 kilometers... especially for a region like the Free City Alliance, which was dominated by city-states, 500 kilometers would have already spanned countless countries.

In the past half month, Rhine had been moving around the village, and the farthest place he had been was Hans Town, where his uncle had taken them yesterday. He had never even left Roberta, so how could you expect him to know where he was now? The most uncomfortable thing was... he wanted to find a local fellow to inquire about his current location, but he found that the invisibility magic cast by his aunt on him was too powerful.

Not only could others not see him, they couldn't even hear his voice. Even if he slapped them a few times, they still didn't react. He felt like Mai Sakurajima in Rascal, a transparent person that no one could detect.

Adhering to the principle of looking for the Adventurer's Guild when there is a problem, Rhine also specially picked the largest city nearby. Just from its towering hexagram-shaped city walls and the size of the city, it can be seen that the development of this "country" is quite good.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Although it was not as good as the capital of his principality, and even more so than the imperial capital with a population of one million, it was the largest city he had ever encountered in the free city-state region where a city was a country. Rhine estimated that this hexagram city should be able to accommodate a population of more than 100,000 people. Maybe there would be a powerful witch or other professional in the adventurer's guild of this country who could find him.

If this country can't do it, then those other countries will be even less likely to find him. The idea is good, but the result is not satisfactory. I don't know if they are too useless or the magic of the legendary witch is too powerful, so that no one in the entire guild can detect his existence, including some adventurers who have reached the witch or king level.

Even the most powerful guild master in the guild could only sense something based on his years of work experience, but he just couldn't find him. Rhine was so angry that he kicked him on the butt a few times and left. He planned to try his luck at the Magic Integration Association next. After all, the spiritual perception of a mage is much stronger than that of other professionals.

Ordinary witches can't find him, maybe high-level witches or great witches can find him? Although it bothers Rhine that he can't communicate with others, it's not a bad thing. At least he doesn't have to pay for things now. What's more strange to him is that no one bumps into him on this busy street, you know, he is a nobody now! After observation, Rhine was surprised to find that everyone would subconsciously avoid him when they were about to bump into him.

He guessed that the magic his aunt cast on him might not be a simple invisibility magic, but a magic that could reduce or block his presence. Otherwise, it would be impossible to deceive the professionals in the Adventurer's Guild who were on the edge of a knife all day long with just invisibility and silence.

Besides, a Saint-level expert like the Guild Master should be able to detect his presence just by the change in airflow, even without vision and hearing. But if it was a magic that blocked or eliminated the sense of existence, then Rhine would not exist in their cognition, so even people with the sharpest senses would not be able to detect him, because to them, Rhine did not exist at all. If something does not exist, no matter how hard you try, you cannot sense it. And there is one thing Rhine did not consider, that is, his artifact itself has a sense of shielding.

Its shielding ability is so strong that even the aunt, who is a legendary witch, needs to touch his body to detect his abnormality, and it is only a little bit. So even if the guild leader senses something with his senses, he can't find Rhine at all. The magic of the legendary witch is indeed powerful, but the most important thing is that the shielding perception of the artifact itself is too strong. The former eliminates the sense of existence, and the latter blocks the perception. The combined effect of the two is far greater than the effect of 1+1.

In order to verify his idea, Rhine went to a fruit stand, picked up an apple, and ate it in front of the owner. As a result, the owner did not react at all. He then patted the buttocks of the beautiful lady in the flower shop next door, but there was still no reaction. This also confirmed that Rhine's guess was correct. He was not invisible, but did not exist in this world. This also shattered Rhine's idea of ​​communicating with others by writing with a pen.

"Good boy! If I were not only four years old, I would have done some plotting from the book. Things like husband committing a crime, time stopping, and being a transparent world, etc." Of course, this was just Rhine's way of finding joy in misery. As a contemporary three-good young man who had received quality education, he would most likely not do such a dirty thing.

"This magic is really useful, much better than invisibility. I must ask my aunt to teach me when I go back." With a little expectation, Rhine found the base of the Magic Integration Association stationed in this city. He kicked the door open, as arrogant as he could be, but the witches inside still didn't react. They thought it was blown open by the wind.

"Hey!!! Can anyone hear me?!" Rhine yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing throughout the hall, but no one paid any attention to him. Everyone was minding their own business.

"Identify, identify, identify, identify!!!!" Rhine used his detection skills recklessly, trying to attract other people's attention. Because the mages' mental power was very strong, they would be able to find out immediately if someone was spying on them.

"No way, big sister, you are a high-level witch! I have used my identification skills on you like crazy, please give me some reaction."

"Emile, do you have the feeling that someone is spying on you?" The witch who was entangled by Rhine asked her colleague next to her.
