Chapter 376.2
“I see…” Eugene murmured, disappointment coloring her tone. Memories of Mara’s cautionary words resurfaced—the warning against overlapping magics, spoken when the secret storage’s magic was first activated.
Overlaying magics must be a very high-level technique. If Mara is cautious, it must be.
Observing Eugene’s despondent demeanor, Aldrit approached the delicate subject with caution. “While I may not possess Your Highness’s profound insight, I have come prepared with some magic,” he began, his tone measured.
Rummaging through the bag at his feet, Aldrit retrieved two small notebooks, each roughly the size of an adult’s palm, their leather covers worn from use.
“I realized that our current method of exchanging magical insights, with me shuttling back and forth, has its limitations,” Aldrit explained. “Especially when monitoring Anika from the hideout or when urgent information about Mara arises, a swift means of communication is imperative. Upon consulting the elders, they imparted a solution.”
Without further ado, Aldrit laid out the two notebooks side by side and demonstrated their functionality. As he wrote in the left notebook, the same script appeared simultaneously in the right one. Likewise, when he scribed in the right notebook, the writing replicated in the left.
Eugene’s eyes widened with realization as she observed the seamless exchange between the two notebooks. “Could it be… if two individuals each possess a notebook, they can communicate through written messages, even across vast distances?” she ventured, her excitement palpable.
“As expected, Your Highness grasps the concept swiftly,” Aldrit confirmed.
Internally jubilant, Eugene likened the magic to a modern messaging program. “Can multiple notebooks be linked together? So that not only two, but three or more people can engage in simultaneous written exchanges?” she inquired eagerly.
