Chapter 134: 134

Demon Stone is a defect. Successful activation of the Demon Stone has led me to that conclusion.

No, it’s not like there’s no use at all. No, but… my head hurts. Future plans could collapse all at once. Gakun asks me strangely, holding my head by accident.

“Do you really care that much? Dear Annis.”

“… I will. You know, the trouble with demon stones is that they can only be used by wizards, but they crush magic, which is the greatest advantage for wizards.

In the hypothesis at the moment, to use Demon Stone, it has to be physical strengthening, but also magic adapting to Demon Stone.

First of all, it is not possible for civilians to use demonic stones as they are at this point. Because civilians cannot activate spirits that reside within the precondition of physical strengthening.

And the magic stone is activated by strengthening the body. If you want to name it, activate it by linking it to “dyeing magic.” Using dyeing magic as food, Demon Stone exerts its power and replaces the dyeing magic with more Demon Stone specific magic.

“We have a problem here. Dyeing magic must be produced to continue exerting the effect of demonic stones. But there are limits to the amount of magic you can hold. If there is more dyeing magic in the body, the normal magic power… decreases the amount of magic in the uncolored vegan state relative to dyeing magic. So far, okay?

“… hey, somehow”

“If you dye magic in one color, and if you dye the colors specific to demon stones, it becomes difficult to exercise magic by normal spirits as soon as possible. I mean, the Spirit won’t come by! Even though it can only be used by wizards, it seals the wizard’s magic! What a nasty material, Demon Stone!

Ugh! And I held my head and screamed. Even the advantages of the Kingdom of Palletia are crushed by the premise to use demonic stones, even though they say they wanted to make demonic stones a technology of kingdom occupation. Natural things can’t stay like this! Not very much, but not available!

“On the contrary, if one does not take magic as its subject, as Gark did, it may be more desirable… but the fact that it seals magic is lethal.”

“Really…? Is that what you need to do to use the Demon Stone?

“Gurk……”

All Navre said was he had a headache in Gakun’s response, and he held his forehead. I felt the same way.

“… you know, gah. You’re a nobleman for once, so come on…”

“To?”

“Not at all, Gark. If you’re in there, you can put a single shot in your fist.”

“Why!?”

“Why, you say? Look, Gark. For a nobleman, magical skill is a status, right? It is only with the admiration that magic can be used that nobility can gain. It is true that some misunderstand the grace and behave tyrannically, but the sense of privilege that has gone too far thanks to the movement of His Royal Highness the King and Her Majesty the Queen is disappearing. But let it be. That doesn’t make it an indicator of whether magical skill is a good opponent for nobility, does it?

Pushed by the temper of Navr, who begun his sermon with courtesy, Gakun became smaller as he saw it. I don’t stop because I deserve it.

Yes. That’s why demon stones don’t work. The Demon Stone is a power that can only be used by wizards, but can be gained without sealing magic. I don’t think it’s a good idea to get a clear assessment from the nobles. This is the reason why it is deadly and we have to call the Demon Stone a defect.

The announcement of my magic and the reign of Yufi have also diminished my sacred view of the Spirit. But magical skill is a value that cannot be abolished if the sacred view of the Spirit fades. It will continue to be a breathtaking value to want to surround a good wizard as a marriage partner.

Demon Stone sells fights head-on to such values. I can’t help but ask if you will abandon your pride for strength. It was such a difficult material to handle, natural demon stone……

“Ma, wait! Oh, I know if you’re talking about magical skills that lead to good luck, too! But, you know, it doesn’t mean everyone does!

“… Mmm.”

“It’s not a rare example of not being confident in a magical arm, like me, and being a treasure rotter after all. If that’s the case, then even Halfis was treated like a fallen student a while ago, right?

… I know what Gakun is trying to say. I get it. Still, I shake my head left and right quietly.

“Gah. It’s the truth, it’s the right thing to do. It’s not surprising that it’s actually taken up as a national issue. So I also think it would be good if it were in the hands of those who need it. But even if I agree with you personally, I can’t snort as a royalty.”

“… why”

“Because it also leads to the preservation of tradition. Admitting demon stones can lead to no magic if you do it poorly. I feel like spreading the word because I’m good too. But there are definitely people who are not amused about spreading it. Like the demon props used to be, right?

The nature of the demonic stone would stimulate the nerves of the aristocracy, which is a wizard, even if it does not like it. Originally, the demons on which the Demon Stone originated were the natural enemies of uncertainty in the Kingdom of Palletia. If we use that power for our own good, it’s still hard to tell them to abandon their pride in hunting the demon.

“Besides, Gah. This time, I think it was a good quality Fenrill subspecies of Demon Stone, so I was able to use my powers to this point. And magical compatibility is carefully chosen. I can’t snort when asked if it should be introduced that far”

“… no, well, if developer Ennis says so. I’m sorry for making this air weird…”

“You pushed me too hard, too…. but Gark. You’re still trying to be a little more noble, aren’t you?

“So, I get it, I get it! I’m reflecting -!

Where Navr’s sermon was about to burst again, Gakkun began to block his ears with both hands and act deaf.

As they were smiling bitterly at their interaction, they pulled the sleeves of their clothes. Turn around, it was Charne. She’s peeking into my face worryingly.

“Charne?”

“Um… Her Royal Highness Sister Wang is depressed, I thought so…”

“Ah…… Well, I guess it’s good because I know clearly that I can’t use it as it is now. As you can see, it’s a defect, but it’s not like I can’t take advantage of it. Maybe there’s some way. That’s not why I gave up.”

I stroked Charne’s head to say it was okay. Though it’s certainly depressing, success is success. On top of that, I found out something. I’m stuck, but this happens all the time.

“If we don’t give up, we can clear the way. Besides, what you’ve worked so hard for here will never go to waste. That’s why I’m fine.”

“… Yikes!

“Right. And depending on the way you look at it, this technology has become an unnecessary product for the Reich.”

“Oh, yeah. I can’t use it at the moment except for the wizard…”

As of now, demon stones are useless unless they are wizards, than the technique of physical enhancement presupposes. I mean, whatever happens, the Empire just has to be a technology that’s hard to imitate.

But I wonder what’s going on. If it stays this way, technology using demon stones can be an abomination to wizards. Corner, even though you said you started it successfully.

Tomas also looks difficult. This is the first time Tomas has also used Demon Stone as a material on boulders. You must be worried about how I used it…. That’s when the flash passed behind my brain.

“…………… Oh, yeah!

“Yes?”

“What’s up?

“You just have to ask the experts what they don’t know!

The next holiday, it was the day to return to the King’s Capital. I went back out of the palace looking for Raini.

If you don’t know about the Demon Stone, you can ask someone who actually has the Demon Stone for their opinion. Although I myself engrave demonic engravings that can have similar effects to demonic stones, they are not demonic stones themselves. Then I thought this place should talk to Raini with demon stones as a vampire.

Come back out of the palace and get confirmation about Raini first. The samurai told me that Raini was resting in her room, so I immediately went to Raini’s room.

“Raini, is it good now?

‘- Oh, Dear Anis!? Hey, wait…!

Knocking on the door brought back Raini’s reply, stuffed with cut wings for a long time. Plus, it’s kind of noisy in there. But as soon as I thought it was noisy, it quieted down…

Ah, yabba. I think I know something about this. My hunch was in the middle of something like that. In Raini’s private room were Raini with a red cheek and Ilia with a clear face.

“… even if I don’t, am I interrupting?

“Yeah, let’s do that. What a bad guy in between, I think.”

“Dear Ilia!

“You say it’s good to call it off… it won’t heal, neither will Raini”

Ilia whispers in Raini’s ear, where Ilia’s arms draw Raini’s hips as if they were snakes, clutched together and tangled away. Then Raini turns bright red on his face like it was caught on fire, but he becomes Ilaria if he has lost his power, but it remains.

Raini has an incredible look on her face and is making her mouth fill with tears. I kind of have empathy and pity for that figure, but I wouldn’t dare touch him. Because I also know very well that being touched comes to my heart……!

“So… Raini had some errands…”

“Yes! Be sure! Leave someone like this alone for tea! Dear Anis!”

“Oh, terrible.”

Out of Ilia’s arms, Raini starts preparing tea with a puffy rage. Ilia sat in a chair without looking bad. I sat down laughing bitterly to imitate Ilia.

“… so? What’s wrong, it’s rare to visit Raini first”

“Mmm. I had a little trouble researching demon stones. I just wanted to ask Raini for his opinion.”

“Is something wrong with your study of demon stones?

Raini asks just for his face as he prepares his tea.

Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.

“Kind of. I’ll explain more when I’m ready for tea.”

“Okay.”

After waiting until Raini’s tea was ready, I informed Raini and Ilia of the results of the demon stone activation experiment and what I found out in that experiment and the problems.

By the time I’m done talking, the tea I was drinking was gone, so Raini is brewing it back to me. Raini, who finished making tea, put his finger on his lips about his seat.

“As long as I can… I understand the story. You got such a problem when you tried to use Demon Stone…”

“Yeah. I’m saddened that this investigation into the Demon Stone wasn’t enough. So I thought I’d start with Raini.”

“Really? I hope there’s something I can do…”

“You can’t start a demon stone unless it’s magic that fits its attributes, and its compatible magic presupposes physical strengthening, right?… but what happens in Raini’s case?

“Is that my case?

“Yes. I think Raini is conscious and able to use the power of the Demon Stone, but isn’t it using physical enhancement?

Raini puts her finger on her lips with a troubled look on Ilia’s point. After a long roar, Raini opens his mouth.

“If you ask me, it is, but in my case, the Demon Stone is already in my body, and the magic is optimized,”

“Magic is optimized?

“Yes. Uh, I’m talking about the spirits in my soul that resonate with the spirits around me that make me magical, but I think the spirits in me are probably already perverted.”

“… to the point of becoming”

Raini says with his hands on his chest. Lhumi says that the soul of this world is more or less inhabited by spirits. With exceptions like mine.

Raini also said he could use magic before he woke up a vampire. That means Raini should have had a spirit in his soul, too. Or it’s possible that the spirits that lived there were degenerating with vampire demon stones, but that can’t be verified anymore.

“Since vampires may be a special example, they may not be when asked if it’s a story that can be applied to other demonic stones… but Master Anis’s example is the same as mine in that sense, isn’t it?

“Me?

“Yes. You said it would go well with the engraving marks made of dragon demon stone because you’re under the curse to be a dragon, right? It’s very similar to the state of my vampire’s demon stone.”

“Well, that’s right. But I’m a special example, too, because I seem to be a rare person told that my soul has no spirits in the first place.”

“… because the exceptions have been around too long before, it seems natural to me that you didn’t think the Demon Stone was such a troublesome substitute”

Me and Raini accidentally looked at each other and laughed bitterly at Ilia’s pointing out that she squealed softly.

If you do say so, I, Ufi and Raini can all be described as unusual. How dare you, well, impress me that all these anomalies have gathered in the outhouse.

“Let’s get back to it. So Raini doesn’t have the magic to be colorless?

“No, I don’t think so. Maybe, because otherwise, the magic props won’t work.”

“Yeah?”

“Demonic props use all kinds of spiritual stones, don’t they? But for example, you think you can force yourself into the Spirit Stone of Fire, the Magic of Wind Attributes?

“… I don’t know, I never tried it in the first place. What do you think of Ilaria?

“You wouldn’t normally do that if you could, would you? I mean, if you’re unconscious on a daily basis, isn’t magic stained with any color, even if demonic stones exist in your body?

Although there are many different types of spiritual stones that are moving demonic props, I certainly wouldn’t have thought of putting in the magic of different attributes, if you ask me. If you ask me if I need to, I don’t need to. Although the interest itself.

Anyway, the colorless magic that is not dyeing magic beyond moving demonic props proves that it exists in Raini’s body, which is a vampire. In fact, we have to experiment to see if this hypothesis is correct.

“So what stage do you think it will color, though we proceed to talk about it as having uncolored, colorless magic?

“… Wouldn’t you like to use magic? I can’t use magic unless I’m really aware of it. It’s the same power of demon stones, the same power of engraving marks, right?

“… Indeed. I mean, magic doesn’t stain certain colors if you’re unconscious……? So if you become aware of the Demon Stone, you will be pulled by the Demon Stone’s magic powers and you will not be able to control it well……?

Isn’t Raini’s hypothesis a pretty well-deserved opinion? The powers of magic and magic stones react to the will to use them. In other words, the colorless nature of magic is lost at a stage when you become aware of magic.

In the case of Demon Stones, because they have the power to try to pull this magic, even if they don’t like consciousness, they turn to Demon Stones. When this happens, even the magic that tries to use magic may be pulled by demon stones.

If this hypothesis is correct, it is a very troublesome issue. Because we have to give up using magic as usual already in the phase of using demonic stones.

“… it might be a natural story if you say it again, it”

“Hmm? Why, Ilia?”

“The Demon Stone is a subspecies of the Spirit Stone, but the Demon Stone becomes the Demon Stone by preying on the Spirit, right? Our magic is due to the Spirit, so isn’t it natural that if we try to use the Demon Stone, the Spirit’s power will be preyed upon?

“… ahhh!? True!?”

I was stunned by Ilia’s allegations. Yes, if you ask me! So the relationship between the magical power from which the Spirit comes and the power of the Demon Stone, which works by eating the Spirit, is dominant on the Demon Stone side!

Besides, this is the theory you put forward! Why don’t you notice, me!?

“… that? Is this packed? No, it would be useful if I reopened it, but it would definitely disapprove the nobility, how the demon stone works.”

“Master Anisphere really likes to sell fights to the Spirit Faith…”

“I’m not selling because I want to!?”

I’m not a believer, but I’m not a disbeliever!? I’m quite grateful to the Spirit!?

Raini laughs vaguely as he deludes into such my clarification, and to Ilia, the beginning and end of laughing with his nose. Ugh, ugh! Oh, I hope not!
