Sword of the Philosopher

"So, Master Luon, what will you do about Mr. Romilda?

When Sophia asks again, I answer with my eyes narrowed and hands on my forehead.

"It is obvious that Nehmeisa knows about Romilda. So I think it's very dangerous for her to take the lead."

"But she's willing to fight"

"Well... if you're willing to fight, I don't have the right to stop you either. But we have to do something about it."

Here, I send my gaze to Sophia.

"... I will be told by the Marquis to move around quite a bit. I want Sophia to support her, if possible."

"Absolutely."

She nodded and ended the conversation.

Then I went back to the ground and talked to Richard. They don't have anything on the ground floor, three as a loot.

"The magic the knights took from the ruins and artifacts to the Dragon Demon Stone. Excellent achievement."

"And Mr. Leon, on the sword the knight had,"

And, Richard opens his mouth.

"Magic existed in the sword the knights possessed, but it wasn't structured to do anything special"

"The magic suction is caused by magic, not the ability of the sword. It's a great harvest to find out they can capture the power of the ruins."

The question is, what do we do with that magic? If you think about it normally, it's going to be a reason to move an artificial dragon...

"Then go back."

Richard says. I snort, I hang the order.

Exit the ruins and erase the magic used by the knights. Then Fei Long went to the waiting area and flew away.

"Do you want the Dragon Demon Stone you got to be the material for Mr. Luon's weapon?

Richard's question. It's another hand, though.

"No, let's pour it into creating the strongest weapon here. My weapon is only provisional."

"Are you sure?

"Oh. Creating a trump card is more important"

"... I doubt that Mr. Luon will use that weapon?

"No, it's not me. Use - be someone with the power of a dragon"

I mean, an emperor candidate - there are options I use, but more than that, combined with an emperor candidate, it's possible that true power will be exerted, and if I use it, Nehmeisa is putting in place measures.

Richard snorted at the opinion. Sofia also had a tonal atmosphere...... the opinions seemed united.

The next day, I returned to Exon's mansion and explained what had happened over there. Showing the loot, he said with an interesting look.

"Let's start an investigation into crystal spheres and artifacts. And that's a pretty pure dragon demon stone."

"Exactly, is it inferior to the Demon Stone the Marquis has?

"It's specially made… depending on the ability this demon stone possesses, it could be countered."

"What do you mean?

When asked back, Exon started explaining.

"Our Dragon Demon Stone is somewhat machined… rather than conferring magic to match the forces present in the Demon Stone. It brings out the power of Dragon Demon Stone."

"Do you mean that what you get this time will also show true value if you do such processing?"

"Hmm. Depending on its ability, it could beat me...... but I have to figure out how to handle it"

"How many ways do you do it?

"Oh. There are two very different ways to use dragon demon stones. One is a magical way to bring out the power of the Demon Stone like what I have. Another is to process and use the Demon Stone itself"

That's it, Exon put his arms together.

"The former has the advantage of being able to use the power of Dragon Demon Stone instantly if it can analyze magic. However, no matter how complex the surgical formula is incorporated, there is one dragon demon stone. Can't do more than that capacity."

"Can the latter do that?

"Exactly. The point is to combine a number of dragon demon stones to create a weapon in which powerful forces reside. A number of drawbacks require dragon demon stones, so they cannot be created instantly. Plus one more thing."

"You don't have to tell me. You're not gonna be able to do anything complicated, are you?

"Exactly. Each dragon demon stone has a qualitative difference to be called personality, but when combined with the dragon demon stone, it loses it. Therefore, the combination of dragon demon stones can be limited, such as amplifying the user's magic and enhancing his physical abilities."

"Conversely, if the user is a special ability, it will show true value"

"Maybe."

Exon stopped arming and mentioned me.

"I just got a report... that girl looks qualitative"

"You can decide that its power is more real than being an emperor's candidate"

"What do we do with her?

"Honestly, I'm overdeciding. Because there's no doubt that Nehmeisa has more in hand than targeted her. I'm just going to teach her more or less because I'm willing to fight her."

Most likely, I can't teach Romilda properly unless I find out what he's capable of... he's in a different situation than the game, and it's a challenge around here.

"If you're worried about that area, let's talk about it"

And here Exon cut the story once.

"Let's talk about this situation. Cheon doesn't seem to be doing anything for a moment. Then there was no noticeable movement on the part of the Imperial capital either. And your weapons will be ready in a few days."

"When it's done, I'll gather Dragon Demon Stone for once."

"Do you have a guess?

To inquire, I nodded.

"The dragon demon stone that existed in the story… in addition to that, Romilda stumbled upon the information as she fled the castle. The Dragon Demon Stone I got this time is one of them."

"Well, that's good"

"I just don't know how far I can get it, because even the Nehmeisa side will be moving."

"Hmm... Then I have a suggestion for you, Mr. Luon"

"Proposal?"

Do you also know about Dragon Demon Stone?

"From here to the south, there is the highest mountain in my territory"

"It's one of those mountain ranges."

"That's right. There's a natural cave in that mountain, and there's a dragon demon stone inside."

"Isn't Nehmeisa already taking it away?

"No, that's unlikely. Because there's a pretty powerful dragon man."

"Dragon Man? You didn't leave that place in the story for now."

"Right."

Exon between. He goes on further with his hands around his neck.

"The Dragon Man...... no doubt, but the person is colorfully influenced by the Dragon Demon Stone and is rampaging around its mountains"

"It's troublesome, so you take it down, and you get Dragon Demon Stone, so what?"

"That's right. When I go there myself, every dragon demon stone escapes. I can't handle it."

"I see. So, who's that dragon man?

"He was formerly an Imperial Knight, but at one point he entered the mountain to investigate and was possessed by the magic of the Dragon Demon Stone. This was roughly twenty years ago. No-one is currently leaning against the mountain range."

That's annoying...... but you didn't show up in the story even though it's an interesting story.

"That knight, is there going to be any connection to this fight?

"You've been a runaway knight for twenty years. That would just be irrelevant. Just."

"Just?"

"Recently there's been talk of unfamiliar knights moving in the territory. Maybe he's planning a crusade."

Nehmeisa...? Hmm, if that's the case, then it's the first thing to leave me alone.

"Nevertheless, the way you're still lurking. A weapon containing Dragon Demon Stone is probably a must to fight Dragon Man, but there will be plenty of room until its completion"

"Okay. Then we'll be on our way when the weapons are done."

Admitted in two replies. Exon makes another suggestion to me after he says, "Okay."

"Yuska, I have an idea for you, so leave it to me. You're offering to act with him, Katra. Same goes for you. And I'm talking about the dragon man having a nasty ability with so much strength. They'd better not take them."

"Then we'll go with Sophia, with confirmation of weapons capability, etc."

"Uhm, please"

Discussion is over - thus, the next goal was set.
