Sword of the Philosopher

When we got back to Anastasia's mansion, we started training the next day. Sophia tries to work with Dragon Essence Forfa, and I do a validation on the ruin sword I accidentally got.

"Lord Luon."

After breakfast, as I was waving my sword in the garden, Anastasia called out.

"It's a sword, but how does it feel?

"I don't think things are bad in themselves. But don't remain anxious to do magic convergence. There's so much damage to the ruins... I'm scared I can't use it if I can't control it"

I left it overnight with the Marquis to check things out... did you get the results?

"Right. When I tell you what I know at the moment, I can apparently fine-tune how I handle that sword, the magic I poured."

"What?"

"When Lord Luon unleashed a test at the ruins, he was set to amplify and diffuse the magic he poured."

Amplification and diffusion......

"Let's just say I inflated my magic and increased my range of effects. That would mean more damage."

Anastasia, who explained that far, put her arms together.

"Depending on how you use it, it could be interesting. Based on the destruction of the ruins, the magic spread considerably. Maybe the moves and magic will also be high range. When you deal with artificial dragons, there's a chance that you can take advantage of them."

- I mean, let's say that or the artificial dragon blew fire, for example, all over town. That range is huge, and the defensive magic I use may not protect the people around me.

But if this sword amplifies its potency, it might produce enough magic to prevent fire - something like that?

"I got the story. So, being able to adjust means being able to contain it, right? How do you do that?

I don't know.

"Huh?"

"There are no instructions. Lord Luon will have to look into that."

... a sword you don't know how to handle. Wouldn't that be a high hurdle?

"Maybe we should take a long look at this. Anyway, now would be a good time to recognize that it might be useful…"

"Let me do that."

After responding, look to the side. Sophia continues to train with Forfa.

"Now, give me a bare hand."

"Yes."

Sophia swords at Forfa's instructions. The movement is beautiful, like her original sword judgment.

It doesn't look like Forfa's power is on top of his appearance......

"This is pretty tough,"

"My magic, which is a dragon elf, is entering arms and such. I guess it means it's loaded. '

It just seems like she's struggling, according to her words. Hmm, how about this one soon?

"Sophia, are you okay?

"Yes. somehow."

"What about you?

"I don't know exactly how this sword works, so I'm going to have to do it by hand."

"I wish I could at least successfully use the ability to adjust the amplitude"

Anastasia says. I kind of look at the sword... but it's hard because it doesn't even have a switch.

Do you use magic to adjust? But even so, I don't know how, and you're blocked in eight directions.

"Well, including whether or not to make use of this sword, we should consider it in the future"

Anastasia turned to me after telling me so.

"Well, I'd like to have an ops conference for my next plan... okay?

"Oh, fine. You're replacing dragon demon stones and taking care of artificial dragons, right?

"I don't know. As for the dragon demon stone to be replaced, it was completed today"

When the Marquis says so, he invites me.

"Let's just say we have a meeting first. Also, at the same time as switching, the Cavaliers' analysis of their power... combined, it would be more efficient."

Sophia keeps training, so me and Anastasia go into the conference room in the mansion.

"Speaking of which, Lord Luon. What happened to Lord Richard and Romilda? I don't see you after breakfast."

"He said he's taking the day off. Especially Romilda, who seems particularly tired of diving in the ruins."

"Well... then let's get down to business"

Anastasia spread paper over a large table - a map.

"Between the mansion and the imperial territory, there are several mountains. There are ruins of angels dotted in them. Some of them have already completed their investigation and dragon demon stones have been removed"

I'm sorry about that.

Anastasia is going to regret my mention.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about all this... keep an eye on the material? Ruins of purpose are labyrinthine and hidden exits exist"

"The dragon demon stone is connected to a place where it rests... and I go backwards from the exit of the hidden passage to replace the dragon demon stone. We're going to run a battle analysis on the knights to match it."

The Marquis agrees with my words.

"Mm-hmm. It sounds easy to put it with your mouth, but actually acting right has a lot of obstacles...... demons first. It looks like he was in the hidden passage, so we can't avoid a fight."

"I can handle that."

"So when you make a replacement, it doesn't mean the trap is activated... how about that?

"The dossier says if you take the treasure, the ruins will collapse."

Sounds classic, but it's a trap I don't really see in angelic ruins... in the first place, it's a rare case of having a hidden passage in the deepest room. When I say ruins, did they have different uses than the others?

"Let's go over the procedure again"

Anastasia, who said so, dropped her eyes on the map.

"Lord Luon goes backwards down the hidden passage to where the dragon demon stone rests. So, it's the key trap, but this is the type that senses and activates magic power. Use it."

Magic sensing, huh?

"The Dragon Demon Stone rests on a pedestal and the trap cannot be activated immediately after it is taken into your hands. Measure the amount of magic around the pedestal with some kind of trick, and activate it when it goes below it."

"This is a roundabout... if I normally took it in my hand, the trap would start, and so on?

"I don't know. I don't know what the angels are thinking. Anyway, if the amount of magic within a certain range is the same, you can't start the trap."

- Here, one question arose.

"Hey, about Richard's material but... you know a lot about it this time."

"You didn't hear from Romilda?

On the contrary, they ask me back. Do what?

"Oh well. Maybe he didn't tell you because he touches the core information."

"... I mean?

"According to Romilda, Lord Richard when he was doing this material, that was what was so urgent. That's all I want to settle for this fight."

"... I hear there's been so much going on"

"I don't know. Also, the source of the ruins is due to material held by Nehmeisa that keeps coming back to time. That he also ran out of ruins to win this battle. Consider it credible."

Nehmeisa... I mean, I did a lot of research to efficiently get dragon demon stones to put in artificial dragons?

"I get it. Then we'll follow the information and move... but how exactly do we do that?

"Can Lord Luon adjust his magic?

He spoke abruptly, and I frowned.

"The Dragon Demon Stone created for this replacement is free to enter and exit magic. That means Lord Luon is on his way to the field, where he will analyze the magic and take steps to prevent the trap from being activated."

... tough again, that.

"Surely Lord Luon has his own Spirit and the Divine Spirit, right?

"So with the help of Garc and Resvail, we will carry out our mission..."

If I could, I'd be the only one.

"Well, can you show me the demon stone to be replaced this time?

"Um, let me show you around"

- And I left the room and walked out the hallway.
