Magi Craft Meister

After Edgar went looking for wine, César asked Elsa a question the other way around.

"Lord Elsa, what's that... what's that about?

but Elsa shakes her neck to the side.

"... Now, you can't speak of uncertainty. Please wait a little longer."

Edgar returns after such an exchange, a little over a minute, at a tremendous speed.

"Dear Elsa, I brought you"

"Thanks...." Analyze ""

Now Elsa analyzes the wine. The face was praised.

"What's up, Elsa?

Jen, who had been watching in silence until now, spoke out because Elsa's expression was unusual.

"... I thought the poison was mixed, but it wasn't"

"Oh, I see"

Saki's grandfather, the Marquis Theoderic, was also drunk of arsenic wine, which destroyed his liver. I would have remembered that.

But then why doesn't Elsa's face clear? The reason was told immediately.

"... but there's a mixture of things like vegetable alkaloids that I'm not sure about"

"Wait a minute."

To Elsa's words, Jen waited.

"A vegetable alkaloid?

Alkaloids are the generic term for organic compounds of natural origin, often indicating basic (alkaline). Morphine and nicotine are alkaloids.

Jen knew that alkaloids also included drugs.

"Some alkaloids have an exciting or anesthetic effect."

It's not nearly as versatile as the magic of Analytics. It is incomprehensible unless it is a substance known to the operator. Elsa won't get any more information than, no, even Jen, seems to be an alkaloid.

"... I don't know what that is, but my father always said that drinking this wine would give me a headache."

"Can you hold your head..."

"Usually, when you consume alcohol, your judgment and reaction become dull. That's what I call 'head-busting'..."

Jen and Elsa conceived. And the conclusion we arrived at.

"... you can only assume it contains narcotic ingredients"

Caffeine is the first thing that comes to mind with something of plant origin that seems to have such an effect.

"'Analyze', 'Analyze'"

Jen looked into both Teye and wine, which had been prepared for drinking. The idea is that even if we do not know the structural formula of caffeine itself, we would know that if we had a common substance.

"... sounds like it's not caffeine"

But it contained no common substance.

"Brother Jin, then stronger drugs?

"Oh. Or maybe it's a drug that I don't even know about."

Thirsty Jen, saying so, drank the juice that was by his side.

"Speaking of which, they said something about a lot of additives in the juice..."

In modern Earth, a variety of synthetic substances are used for juice. Jen also remembered that the dean had prepared the juice to be drunk by the children in the facility with only natural ingredients as distressingly as possible.

"You never drank coke..."

When I went to regular high school, I was surprised at the taste of coke I bought and drank from vending machines. It didn't taste delicious, it felt uncomfortable.

(You had some more unsavory drinks...)

There was also a refreshing drink that smelled like medicine and Jen couldn't drink very well.

"... cocaine!?

And the word flickers unexpectedly. It hasn't been added anymore now, but it also seems to have been added in the first period.

"Sure..."

Reminds me of a drug and drug feature I was doing on TV.

"Sure, Sherlock Holmes was addicted to cocaine too..."

He said it acts on the central nerve and helps to elevate the spirit. They didn't think it was addictive at the time, and it was easily available to the average person.

Actual cocaine is powdered and inhaled from the nose or injected intravenously with an aqueous solution, but Jen is not that familiar.

Either way, the ingredients in this wine appear to be effective orally, unlike cocaine in that respect.

"You've got another word I don't know. I don't know what Kokai is, but I know that wine not only has a high alcohol content, but it is also made by soaking a variety of herbs."

"Really..."

Listening to César's words, Jen and Elsa were almost certain that the ingredients of his plant origin eroded King Richard's spirit and flesh.

Elsa tells that clearly.

"Some of the herbs were toxic. Sure, you might be able to lose your mind, but you're going to eat more than that."

"... Indeed. My father has lost so much weight in the last six months."

"And cerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension, this is the direct cause of His Majesty's fall. Earlier treatment stopped the bleeding and rectified the circulatory system, but the already broken brain cells will not return…"

Even magic cannot regenerate brain cells.

Seeing how sad Elsa looked, César the king nodded with a sinking face. I didn't understand half of what was explained.

"... so don't blame yourself, Elsa Him did the best she could. That's something I know very well. Even if the Father King's consciousness does not return, it is not your fault"

"Your Highness..."

It was a dripping Elsa, but it seemed a little easier to say thank you from the King Prince César.

"... With that herb, do you know more about it?

And tell us a little bit about the future.

"Yes, many kinds, if that means, you can find out which of them is toxic, if you look at the real thing"

"Uhm. Then let's get it back as quickly as we can. To keep the same victims out."

With samples, maybe we can take measures, and we can prevent them. Elsa and Jen agreed without one or two.

"Well, it's time for the day to tilt. Guests are invited to return to the hotel."

Since the king is like this, it is inevitable that Prince Wang will take command.

The heads of state headed to the hotel with a slightly tired face.

Bathing preparations and dinner preparations had been investigated at the reception hotel.

Being mentally and physically tired from the disturbances during the day, it seemed that the bathing was done there and dinner was left behind.

Jen, on the other hand, was slowly immersed in the bath and flattened without leaving a meal. It is the difference in mental margins.

Of course, so is Elsa.

And the two of them, in the saluted room, were receiving reports from Lao Tzu through Lao Tzu.

"Makina's role has been successfully terminated, all withdrawals have been completed earlier"

The sendout used a forwarder, but the return to Penglai Island is not going to be the same.

However, Lake Asur has a floating base set up during the battle against the Unity Party (Unifiler), some of which has a large transfer gate (Warp Gate), so it returned to the island via there.

"For now, you've proven that Makina and I are different."

'I guess. So, there's one more report.'

"Yeah, let me hear it"

I found it in the basement with Anne and me.

It is about a basement found in a building a short distance from the outer palace.

"It was sealed so that it could only be opened with a 'key' that the royal one supposedly would have. It was disarmed, but further underground, some of which may contain ancient relics (artifacts) sleeping '

"Hmm......"

The Kingdom of Celluloa is an old country, and it is not strange that relics from the time of the Magic Wars remain. Jen is also a little interested.

"Do you want to ask Prince Wang tomorrow?"

'So far, it's less urgent, so I think that's fine'

Next, we will look at future responses.

'Perhaps tomorrow, from the capital, Esaia, cabinet and army will come'

"I guess."

'The problem is that the leaders of this country are now absent. Even though Prince Wang is here, it is not known if he has enough strength.'

"So I remembered.... Elsa, is King Rishar no longer expected to recover?

Asked by Jen, Elsa nodded sadly.

"... yeah. Can't."

He had hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, and brain cell necrosis due to delayed allowances was an irreversible level, Elsa says.

In addition, the poisoning symptoms caused by the drug ingredients in the wine you used to drink. Don't miss out on liver and kidney damage either.

"In that case, tomorrow, when there are representatives of the neighbouring countries, it would be best to ask Prince Wang to assume his reign,"

"Oh well..."

Beyond being a kingdom, the presence of kings is essential for the maintenance of order.

"I'm not the one who talks around it..."

Ann disagreed with this.

"No, sir. You are already on par with the representatives of all countries. That opinion is a weight that cannot be ignored. Please be aware of that."

'Ann is right. Perhaps one of the delegates will say, but if no one does, your husband (My Road) should take the initiative to propose'.

"Oh, yeah... but isn't that going to be an internal affairs interference?

Originally, Jen, who is just a technician, is a little heavily loaded. but.

"No, things don't stay in the Kingdom of Celluloa. As you've seen, battle golems, big airships, and big ships, including 'Lyons'. What do you think that was prepared for?

Jen could also have guessed at Ann's words.

"War, or..."

"That's right. oppressive diplomacy, was that it? At least you were thinking about it, King Rishar said."

……

Again Jen thought about it. Seeing Jen like that, Elsa spoke up.

"... Brother Jin, I'm here too. Don't forget."

A word of Elsa reminded me of last night. Jen is not alone.

"... you did"

If Jen also had Elsa so that two people could carry luggage that I couldn't carry by myself, I felt like I could manage to do it as "Yi Ying".
