Fate: Path Hero# chapter 17: Learn magic
🕑 Added 2025-02-06 05:57:05 +0000 UTCWhat Ryū did not expect was that the most proficient person in magic in the city-state of Uruk was Siduri's father.
But he understood too.
For a position like a priest, it seems natural to be proficient in magic.
Although Ryū wanted to start learning from the other party immediately, the other party had just summoned Siduri.
So, he and Gilgamesh thought it would be better to go tomorrow.
So early the next morning, Gilgamesh took Ryū to visit Siduri's father.
At the same time, they also saw Siduri, who was writing something on a stone with a tortured look on her face.
There was no paper and pen in this era.
The recorded text was still engraved on stone tablets.
So in this era, writing is also a torturous thing to a certain extent.
When the two saw Siduri, they wanted to say hello, but were stopped by a tall old man.
The tall old man was Siduri's father.
Ryū looked at the other person.
As a priest, the other party did not have the elegant impression that priests give to people as Ryū expected.
Instead, his body was covered in muscles, giving him the appearance of a warrior.
The other party first bowed to Gilgamesh, then explained that Siduri was accepting her punishment.
As for the reason for the punishment.
The two of them knew this without even asking.
Then Gilgamesh told the other party why he had come.
After Gilgamesh told Siduri's father that Ryū wanted to learn magic, he did not refuse.
This surprised Ryū a little. He thought there would be some tests, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
After the other party agreed, Gilgamesh made an excuse to leave.
He simply left very quickly as if something big has happened.
It certainly wasn't because he couldn't stand Siduri's resentful look.
Ryū followed Siduri's father into the room.
The two sat opposite each other.
Siduris father then began teaching Ryū without further delay.
The other party spoke of all his understanding of magic without reservation.
Ryū didn't know how valuable this magical knowledge he learned was in this era.
This is something to give people power, and it is impossible for ordinary people to learn it.
If Gilgamesh doesn't bring him here.
Even with Ryū's noble status, he was not qualified to learn.
After Ryū began studying, he finally realized another effect that the second reward brought him!
He learn everything at a very fast pace.
The description of the reward when it was introduced was just a simple introduction.
However, it was only when Ryū truly began to learn magical knowledge that he realized how amazing this ability was.
He could understand and comprehend every word from Siduri's father the first time he heard it.
There are no obstacles or difficulties at all.
In addition to the extraordinary memory that the reward also brings.
He quickly learned to ride a rocket.
This shocked Siduri's father greatly.
After only one week since he started teaching Ryū, Siduri's father felt that he had nothing left to teach him.
In the end, Ryū's education ended.
He taught all the magical knowledge he knows and understands to Ryū.
Ryū also expressed his deep gratitude to Siduri's father.
When bidding farewell to Siduri's father, Ryū also asked many questions:
"Why is it that you, as a father, are proficient in magic, but Siduri, as a daughter, knows nothing about magic?"
Siduri's father answered Ryū's doubts with some helplessness:
“Although Sidori has the talent of communicating with God to become a priestess, she does not have the talent of magic. Practicing magic also depends on physical fitness.”
Ryū then asked:
"If I want to improve my magic, where can I go to learn?"
The answer from Siduri's father was:
"Besides Uruk, there are other city-states on this earth. In those city-states, there may be other skilled people who master magic. Besides the land above, there is the Netherworld. Legend has it that The Goddess of the Netherworld masters the most sophisticated magic in the world."
Ryū then continued the question:
"If I want to go to the Netherworld, where do I need to enter?"
The answer was:
“No one can enter the underworld while he alive, unless he has permission from the Goddess of the Netherworld.”
This made Ryū silent for a while but then he asked:
“Then how can I get permission from the The Goddess of the Netherworld?”
Siduri's father was also silent for a moment, then replied:
"I don't know because the Netherworld is not a place for living people to stay. Even with the goddess's permission, ordinary people will die soon after entering. If you insist on seeking an answer..."
Siduri's father sighed and continued:
“You should pray to the Goddess of the Netherworld. Perhaps when the Goddess is affected by your prayer, you may be able to enter the Netherworld and meet her.”
After listening to this, Ryū nodded slightly, then bowed to the old priest on the ground according to the etiquette of the era.
"Thank you for your guidance and answering my questions during this time. I will never forget your kindness."
“Hahaha, I have no regrets about having a student like you at the end of my life.”
The old priest laughed heartily.
