These type of people like this Leonard guy is so delusional to me. Like he just simply cant fathom that people have other goals or motives that dont align with him. Like the sheer narcissism to not being able to comprehend that he has to share the spotlight and other people have their own thought and opinions. Is it stupidity? Is it ego? Like bro is so petty that its more important for him to get a 1 up on people he doesnt like then pass the tower

Lol this interaction feels so wierd to me. Like a random city offical saying "im in charge here" to Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Like okay buddy you guys got grit to stay alive sure but the weakest person in the squad could take you all out no problem and here you are pointing arrows and threatening them with a good time lmao.

Hmmm so they have communication as well? I mean makes sense because otherwise a massive org like this would be really difficult to exist of it didnt not have support of some kind from the place of origin.

Really nice chapter and it really touches on a dynamic that alot of stories miss. Whenever you have a reincarnation or transmigration story, the parent is strangly "go with the flow" all the time, never taking a second to think about the absurdity of growth in the protagonist when they are a kid. Its one of those plot hole that are never unexplained or covered.

Oh dang I totally forgot about Baltak. I wonder how much Kael is behind on his payment for the Map 🤔

Dang i thought this would be a good moment for Ludwig and Celine to talk. Because her character seems half cooked now. Remnants of wrath, trauma from Sloth, some obvious overprotectivness but overall surface level discussion. In general I was hoping for a more discussion for all these character because theres so much to talk avout here. The uncle explaining more about what makes this dark continent so special that he decided to go with, what is thomas capable of now or is just as useless as before? Maybe Kaiser can teach Ludwog more advance black magic spells while they are at it? Also the Dark Continent is a glimpse of what the world would be with a Ursurper in full control for a solid amount of time, is it just a desolate hellscape or are there people there who are twisted cultists or husks like the one in greed? These one liner quips are humorous but I feel like we are missing alot here.

Oh thats interesting. Convential way of stories would consistently have the be more noble as mages due to more money for better care, bloodlines built to foster magical talent, and it being a major source of noble pride to foster elite mages and mage families. Thats interesting that this time its mostly comes from commoner or poor families. I wonder whata at play here and why noble family use the mundane methods while the common folk claim the extraordinary. it seems completely counter logic then the norm.

So if im understanding what makes this process different then the established process is that the "normal" way is the breath through the mouth and collect at the chest/heart and keep it there? or pass though back out the nose? This brings in mana but impurities are locked inside or barely affected. But this Manuel says is the that you breath threw the mouth but its past the heart to your stomach and then not hold anything and let it pass letting your body not hold in the mana but causing impurities to be expelled first thereby improving your talent? So when Lucious says that his talent is mediocre, that means your ability to be a mage is dependent on the impurities in your body?

Ludwig the Undead Gandalf lmao traveling all around the world given acharge by the gods to fight the evil while meeting with emperors, nobility, and the common folk as equals and doesnt care about status.

Hmmm greedful death being a dragon of darkness makes me think of the immortal shadows in the cave and the nephilim. And I also remember that Celine still has a shard of wrath still in her right? or is that now resolved? I wonder how her and Joann are holding up being chained to sloth. Thats 2 times shes been at the mercy of a sin and no doubt she needs some help or a check in. No doubt she might have heard of the Emperor wanting to have Ludwig marry the princess. I wonder what she thinks of that?
