Sword of the Philosopher

... I didn't expect a voice from Dragon Demon Stone, so I couldn't answer anything at first.

"I wonder what's wrong?

Yet another dragon demon stone asks...... does it feel like a grown woman with a bit of color in her voice?

"... what about you?

"I'm telling you, I'm not talking to anybody out there. The Dragon Demon Stone itself you have is talking."

I'm going to explain it politely...... and the dragon demon stone itself is talking? It just deepens my doubts even further. I don't know what to do.

Lord Luon, I have concerns.

Garc Speaks Out...... Hmm, Concerns?

"Talking Dragon Demon Stone is somehow extrapolable"

"Huh?"

"Earlier, you were talking about whether that ruin was an experimental site, right? Perhaps a person's will resides in a dragon demon stone... experiment with that, and the achievement is right in front of you?

... I see. Then let's ask a question.

"Are you a victim of that relic experiment or something?

"I don't really remember how this happened, but maybe not?

You're talking relaxed...... and there's more mention from Garc.

"The biggest problem is that this could change the trend of Nehmeisa,"

... Oh well.

I get it, too. Originally, this dragon demon stone was supposed to be in the hands of the imperial side. But we switched... if the Dragon Demon Stone was talking when the knights retrieved it, there would be a clear difference.

However, if Richard is a dragon demon stone who talks when he searches for material, it should be properly stated. I could also optimistically interpret that I did not find out for any reason.

"I have my doubts."

Now the dragon demon stone speaks out.

"Where did you get the information from to treat me so I wouldn't bother to start the trap?

... that I felt gaze naturally means she (?) You're going to be watching it, too.

I also thought about what we should do... either way, is it too late than we talked this way? I can only assume that the optimistic interpretation is correct here.

"Garc, why don't we just talk about it?

"Right."

Gark agrees. It's kind of odd... I decided to try to have a conversation with Dragon Demon Stone - I just didn't feel like telling you everything, so I'll just explain that I had information about the ruins.

- So now that we know our enemies are taking the Dragon Demon Stone, we've moved on to action.

"I see. So, what are you gonna do with getting me?

"... I want to ask you, if you suck away the power of Dragon Demon Stone like this, will you disappear?

"I guess."

It's light...... the knights get dragon demon stones to strengthen the power of artificial dragons...... does that mean death for this dragon demon stone?

Thinking about it, wah-wah screaming and being ignored and used as bait for artificial dragons...... pity.

"But I've never heard of a dragon demon stone you can talk to."

"You've never heard of me either. It must have been some kind of experiment."

... I thought you meant something that would further prove that this is an experimental facility.

But I don't know what to do with this... If I showed Anastasia, I'd say "Precious!! Keep it!!" or something, I guess.

"... okay. Let's just take it home. But I've got a problem."

"Maybe I should be able to talk fake too?

Dragon Demon Stone asks. Well, the way you put it...

"Maybe you can?

"There's a way. Once we get back to the fake place, we can't."

Just a thought...... I thought I should do it and tried to demand it. At that time,

"Oh, wait a minute"

"What the fuck?"

"I want to ask you one thing, what's going to happen to me?

"... you need to talk to your people."

"Then promise me you'll let me live for now."

... a deal? It is odd everywhere that the target is a dragon demon stone.

"Well, fine."

"You're not lying, are you?

"Because I'm not lying"

When I was in a bit of trouble, suddenly the Dragon Demon Stone shone.

"Oh?"

Then go back.

... Is that an indication of intent that I've figured it out now? I had my doubts, but for now I start moving my legs.

The same flow as earlier entered the ruins and went to the room where the Dragon Demon Stone was located. I didn't think you'd come back here.

"Then join me with the fake"

As I was told, approach the pedestal and hit the dragon demon stone with a fake. Then, for a moment only, the magic got stronger.

"Hmm, the magic has moved only slightly."

At the same time as Gark's words, I hear voices from dragon demon stones.

"Simply put, I only had a little bit of my magic in this fake, so I could talk fake through it."

"Sounds good then...... OK, go home and say Anastasia and Operation Conference"

But when I thought you were all in trouble... I realized one thing.

"Uh, let me ask you something, what's your name?

"There's no way there's such a thing."

"Oh well... um, I can't think of a good name, so I guess I'll talk to you about this too. We'll think about it when we get back."

"Where are we going?

"It's a Marquis Mansion."

Return to your original path. It's been kind of a weird development, but for now, I've served my purpose, so you can consider this operation a success.

I left the ruins again and started chanting to use the magic of movement...

"... hum"

Back at the mansion, I tell Anastasia what's going on. When I talked about Barvo and Dragon Demon Stone, I thought I would eat at Dragon Demon Stone, but the first question flew about the knight.

"At least not the knight I have."

"Then is that who Abel and the others lurked?

"No, the information around it has also reached me via Exon, but there is no information that women are entering. Besides, we're not crossing the dangerous bridge of taking something."

"So... you mean another organization?

"Uhm, its likely...... let's find out"

Anastasia sent her gaze to the dragon demon stone in front of me.

"Well, it's a lot more interesting than talking dragon demon stone..."

"You're not interested? I think it's a rare thing."

"The amount of magic you possess is no different than a regular Dragon Demon Stone."

What matters to her is the magnitude of her power?

"Now, let me say my opinion on the point that Lord Luon is concerned that Nehmeisa will understand dragon demon stone embezzlement. We need to be careful, but if we can be sure he won't move, we'll be fine."

Marquis continues as he cheeks.

"The biggest basis lies in how the Knights take the power of the Dragon Demon Stone. I'm pretty sure this was in Lord Richard's dossier. If they decide there is a trap, the Knights decide not to move the dragon demon stone resting on a pedestal or something, but only to suck the force away"

"... So in this case, before this dragon demon stone talks, it means he took away his powers and flew his consciousness?

"Probably. Let's assume the trap is activated when the dragon demon stone is removed from the pedestal. In fact, that's what Lord Richard's dossier said, and I'm sure of it. I can't be so pessimistic. You should think of a plan just in case you get it."

When she finished, she breathed once and asked the Dragon Demon Stone.

"I have a question. Is it possible to switch consciousness to another dragon demon stone?

"Uh, maybe you can?

"Then prepare another vessel. I'm sorry about the Dragon Demon Stone, but I'll let you use it."

"Nothing's fine. I'm not obsessed."

"Then ask me one more question. Can we currently see what the situation is with fakes?

"It's possible, though?

"Right."

Anastasia to be niggered. She said she was frowning about what it meant.

"Lord Luon, this harvest is quite a harvest."

"Do you have any ideas?

"Hmm. In some cases -"

The Marquis says as he drops his eyes on the Dragon Demon Stone.

"Perhaps the consciousness of living in this dragon demon stone will hold the key to battle."
