Sword of the Philosopher

It was the basement that was put through. There was a room as if it had created a hidden passage to the basement in a mere storage room and reproduced beneath it even the ruins of the stone... angel.

"It's a big basement."

"This place is the second biggest."

"... uh, how many rooms like this are under the mansion?

"Phew."

Chest stretching anastasia. I'm not complimenting you.

"It takes a lot of equipment to do all sorts of research to keep the Imperial side from finding out."

"Well... the Dragon Demon Stone..."

On the verge of inquiring, Anastasia opened a single door. Behind it, there is one demonic stone that glows blue.

"Well, I didn't say I'd adjust my magic, but that also has to do with the planting of artificial dragons"

"Hmm, what do you mean?

"Currently, this dragon demon stone has been subjected to procedures that restrict the movement and operation of artificial dragons. Then there is an idea to counter the existence that can also be called the trump card of Nehmeisa and the existence created by pouring a wide variety of dragon demon stones"

"Sure, you can't beat a simple amount of magic."

"Nor did Lord Richard get the blueprints or anything like the artificial dragon, so I guess if I think about it normally, I'll stop moving even if I succeed"

It'll be enough... and we'll get dragon demon stones for weapon creation. It's more like doing it because of this benefit.

"Shall we get back to it? What I want Lord Luon to do is to imitate the amount of magic when switching dragon demon stones so that the trap doesn't activate."

"Similar......" Wait a minute. You're gonna use my magic?

"Is there a problem?

"No... can I twist out the amount of magic inherent in Dragon Demon Stone?

"Keep all that rumbling in the ruins, say it often"

Anastasia shrugged as if she was somewhere shrugged.

"Well, it must be hard to imitate the quality itself. Anyway, the trigger condition for the trap is the amount of magic. If that's all you can do, you succeed. Theoretically, it's like switching stones with diamonds of the same magnitude in a trap that's activated without a certain weight."

"My magic treats me like a stone... no. So, you mean do it behind the ruins"

"Uhm. Of course, I'll pour out my magic beforehand, and I'll be ready... So, there's a reason to use Lord Luon's magic. Assuming you can control an artificial dragon... naturally, we'll be talking about who's in charge?

"Uh... could you possibly..."

"The Lord Luon will be able to capture the most battle by using the Demon of Usage. Then I thought I should leave it to you."

Oh, that's the idea...... but well, is it most reasonable?

"Uh, okay. Either way, you adjust with my magic, so there's no other way, is there?

"Right."

The nodding Marquis. Then he had a suspicious grin.

"As far as I'm concerned, I expect it here. The most likely way to move an artificial dragon freely is for Lord Luon to interfere both outside and inside."

I wanted to say that I had a "chance" because of my abilities. I think I bought it too much......

"So pour out your magic quickly. The magic amount of Dragon Demon Stone is also described in the material of Lord Richard. We'll use that as a basis to infuse magic, and then we'll adjust it locally."

Tough again...... but well, we have to do it.

That's why I pour magic into fake dragon demon stones. Until Anastasia says "That's it".

As far as I'm concerned, it was a spare amount... if I told you this, the Marquis would scold you again, so don't say anything.

"Okay, the first phase is done. So, I'm not a knight exploring the ruins this time."

"Sure enough, there are three knights in the dossier that are holding us back."

"Mm-hmm. There was very little mention of knights in Lord Richard's dossier, so I'm also looking into... a lot harder guards"

"What's the Knights profile or something?

"They're not available either... I think I'll be able to look into my background, but if I dig deeper, I might find them."

... you would want to avoid the knight's ability to leak even as a nephmeiza, and you mean tough?

"That's why it makes sense for Lord Luon to check on the knights this time"

- It will be more important to grasp your abilities crumbly than humans on this continent, starting with Yuska, not me.

"It's been a few days since the investigation went in. Until then, Lord Luon will verify the sword."

"Well fine...... does the Marquis do anything?

"There's time, and I should move a lot. The ability to fight an elite knight… I'm going to call one of them"

Oh, do you have a candidate?

"What's your name?

"It's called Eirado-Zaffer. Don't you know that?

Shake your head left or right. I'm not the person to be one of them in the game.

"More than the Marquis says, you can think of it as credible, right?

"Well. You're a tough old swordsman, but you're loyal to me for once."

Loyalty...... That's a word that doesn't suit the Marquis in front of you.

"Mm-hmm. I thought you didn't look good now, huh?

Oh, I found out.

"... who originally served the previous Marquis. I've been in the Mansion since I was a kid."

"You don't seem to get your head up."

"Exactly. I'm in hiding now, but I told him to call me if he needed help. I was concerned about the situation on the Imperial side about a month ago, so I guess I'm fine."

"Heh..."

"And you don't think too much of the current emperor. The impact of Nehmeisa's information manipulation."

... didn't appear in the game because Anastasia was working with the Emperor's side, huh?

"I found out about that person... are you strong?

"It may have fallen in comparison to the full season, but it's not the right level for those knights to bundle up."

Um, I'm just getting lost in judgment......

"If you doubt it, do you follow your servants?

"... you mean to go see him?

"Um, I don't think he's gonna lean on the mansion anyway. If you want to talk, you should do it when you explain the situation. It's not that far from here, so there's no problem with day trips."

That's it, Anastasia slapped Pong, her hand.

"Well, he also did something like a weapons appraisal. I don't know if we can find out more about the sword Lord Luon got, but we might get some tips."

"... I don't mind."

As for sword verification, I'm just exploring it.

"Anything else? A day trip is about using Richard's dragon, right?

"It's like a couple of hours on a horse from here. A dragon won't be long."

Then... I remember Sophia when I tried to snort.

"Can I take Sophia, too?

"I don't care, is there something?

"No, you're a long-time swordsman, aren't you? I was wondering if Sophia would be interested."

"Um, don't worry about it. Don't worry about a lot of people."

Answering that, Anastasia points to the exit.

"Shall we act quickly... bad for Lord Richard, who is resting?"

So me, Sophia, Anastasia and Richard. These four of us are going out. Forfa, by the way, but for some reason I was talking to Romilda.

"That, what's going on?

Asking Sophia, she sent her gaze to Forfa,

"Anything, she said I should teach her a lot too"

"... you mean to coach me. Well, she's hard to explain how we fight, and maybe the dragon elves are better."

"Are you ready?

Anastasia asks. Already ready ready ready to ride the dragon. I raised my hand to it and rode a dragon with Sophia.

"So Richard, please"

"Leave it to me."

He nodded, instructing the dragon… to continue yesterday and to fly on the back of the dragon again today.
