The Economics of Prophecy

The day after the policy meeting, I was on the first floor of the lab. The Magic Catalyst relationship has gone to the new building, so we're going to experiment with negative demonic crystals in an empty, former biology lab.

Fulsey is reluctantly going to the sorcery dorm to discuss it because Noel is crying at her. I watched this one until I left. I want you to be the oldest, the Earl at some point, and the shield of your young men because they are the culmination of the magic of the kingdom.

Alfina also cared if she did it, but now she has Noel to help her. As long as we're dealing with Demon Guided Silver and existing Magic Catalysts, that's right. Funny things happen too. This one doesn't know what's going to happen.

So now next to me is Mathier, who doesn't hide his curiosity.

"I'm ready."

said Maitille, who was preparing Elise. There are three types of demonic crystals available in the tray of the table. It is a mustard grain-like mushroom warcraft crumb demon crystal, regular red demon crystal, and deep red demon crystal.

"Now it's time for this."

Black minerals were taken from tightly sealed bags. Observe against the light of the lamp. Except the color is black. It doesn't look so different from the demonic crystal. However, the shape is distorted because it is not shaped. However, the cross section is sharp and shiny. Say color, and resemble the precious resources of the stone age, obsidian?

"Well, I wonder what we're going to do with this troublemaker"

Mathier peeks into my hand. My shoulders are close enough to touch me.

"First, I want to confirm the phenomenon. What exactly do we do to extract magic from normal demon crystals with negative demon crystals?

"It feels more like wasting demonic crystals than drawing out magic. It's easy, look..."

Mathier is a black negative demon crystal on his right hand. Have a reddish brown crumb demon crystal on your left hand. And stuck the two together.

The contact emitted a pale light. The light faded slowly and brightly, disappearing lightly in seconds.

"Like this. Now this demonic crystal is empty."

Maityle pinched the Crumb Demon Crystal with her index finger and thumb. Demon crystals that are supposed to release magic according to the will of the demon conductor do not respond at all.

"... right now, I can do it too"

I received a negative demon crystal from Maitir and took a new crumb demon crystal. When I approached him with a little nervousness, the light emerged, just as it did with Mathier.

"Whoa."

I was just a little touched. I feel like a wizard.

"I've found a promising demonic crystal mineral vein in the Empire, but there's a black layer that contains this in the same place. There have been times when the exhumed demon crystals could not be used at all. So they basically hate you. They used to tell me how to break demonic crystals and soil them."

"But it brings out magic, so it seems like it would have a use..."

"If we were to pull magic out of demonic crystals, we'd be made to be somewhat oriented, but now that would have spread in all directions. In other words, it is inefficient to flush it to the Magic Leadership. Besides, the total amount of magic seems to be less than if we pull it out."

"It's a good thing the magic spreads, but I don't know how much..."

I thought about it. My prospect is that I can't force myself to pull purple magic out of the crystal using this. I just can't tell you what I'm talking about. Sometimes I'm not driven by temptations like deliberately softening and wasting crystals......

"I wonder if that means I'm gonna suck the magic out of you."

"Hmmm...... Well, maybe it's close to that feeling. I still feel a little uncomfortable..."

"Uncomfortable?"

"Thanks for the wavelength...... Yeah, if you measure it, you'll see."

"Right, let's call Ellis"

Even if they say something sensual, it doesn't look like much to me.

Hanged on to measurements at Ealis. The magic generated by contacting the negative demon crystal with the scum demon crystal illuminates the sensory demon paper. Three bands appeared on Sense Demon Paper. However, the band is definitely thin. Plus, it's blurry when I do it.

To confirm, have Mayteer try to extract magic from the Crumb Demon Crystal after contacting the negative Demon Crystal. As expected, there is no band on Sense Demon Paper.

"You're definitely drawing on magic."

It's self-evident to Mathilde, but this is the only way for me to do it. Even though the phenomenon itself doesn't have to have qualities, there are too many things I can't do to find out. And there's too much we have to do.

I almost sighed when I looked out the window, which was completely winter.

Looking back, Mathier was staring at the band. And, more importantly, when you take out the Crumb Demon Crystal, you bring out your own magic.

"Look. They look alike and they're off."

"... what do you mean"

"This is what I thought was strange earlier."

The band that appears deviates to the low energy side compared to when negative demonic crystals are used. No, the magic pulled out by the negative demonic crystals is off to a short wavelength, or high energy side. If it's light, does it feel like blue square offset?

"You mean you've converted the amount of magic into quality?

"I don't know. Now, the wavelength analysis is incredibly useful. Every time I do something, there's a phenomenon that I don't know."

"Oh, yeah. I know it's funny. Now......"

"I know."

Mathilde repeats the same thing several times. The results were not stable, but there was certainly a tendency for the band to basically shift to the high energy side. But the width of the shift is somewhat unstable, and the band is unclear.

But this is a tremendously valuable discovery. I moved my gaze over the tray. There is another souvenir from the Empire.

"............... if this is with a crumb demon crystal. Hey, Mathilde."

I was excited to come up with one possibility. It seems that Mathier also understood what I was trying to say, he took the Deep Red Demon Crystal. Making deep red contact with negative demonic crystals creates a blurry band quite far from the Sensory Demon Paper.

"I knew it, there's a magic wavelength that's close to purple. I can use this!!

It's a result I don't even wish for. Maybe I can use the Deep Red Demon Crystal to create Purple Magic. It can generate purple magic without alfina or crystal.

"Oh, no. It's an important result. Oh, it's funny..."

"... I know. What Ricardo's thinking is right."

Mathier said sarcastically, but soon becomes the face of a serious magician.

"You're not stable. And inefficient."

"You're right."

I guess there are some conditions. The way the band appears is even more variable than when using the Crumb Demon Crystal.

"But this is a phenomenon worth pursuing."

"Yeah, I'll admit it as a magician."

Mathier also agreed. It still doesn't seem like something interesting. With that said......

"Is Maityle okay with the purple magic?"

"Even if there's something, it's this amount. Nevertheless…"

Mathier came a long way closer to me.

"Hey, what's up?"

"He's worried about me, too."

"Well, that's obvious."

"Could it be a useful experimental tool?"

"I never thought of it that way."

When I panicked like that, the door opened.

"Ricardo. Now there's magic similar to crystals..."

Alfina brought Noel into the room. It hardened for a moment when I saw me and Mathilde.

"Master Alfina, do not approach inadvertently"

I said it unexpectedly.

"Too bad. I knew you'd treat me very differently than you did."

When Mathilde shrugged her shoulder, she left me.

◇ ◇

"I knew it wasn't stable."

I roared when I saw the Sense Demon Paper. Since then, I have repeated experiments considering various elements such as angles, distances, shapes, etc. But they all seem to relate, and none of them are conclusive. Several parameters may be interacting.

"You used it flashy."

Maitir said when he saw the mountain of deep red demon crystals that had lost their magic power. Not to mention that there are many deep red demon crystals supplied by the Empire. Not to mention, I can't waste it if I think about a showdown with a demon bug.

However, in order to generate purple magic, the Crumb Demon Crystal is not possible, not even ordinary Demon Crystals. It increases the original wavelength, so naturally. But I don't understand the principle.

"Deep red can't be replenished with a charging furnace."

"Right. You might be able to do it with that purple magic vent from Flying Dragon Mountain."

"Right, do you have that too..."

When the battle against the Devil Bug has become a long-term battle, it is important to know if you can recycle the Deep Red Devil Crystal using a purple magic vent that is likely to appear in the Kingdom and Empire.

"But if there's enough to use here..."

Mathier looked in the next room.

"You can't do that."

I went.

".................. Ha. Well, if that's Ricardo's policy, I respect that. You deserve to be so selfish."

"Sorry. Thank you so much"

"I'm the one who blew in things that make me more anxious for Ricardo than anything else. But..."

Mathilde stared at me. I think I know what you're going to say. I can't tell you that. I don't know what to do when a situation comes.

It could also be an extra burden for Alfina. But I see Alfina falling asleep or falling because of the crystal. I'm sorry about that again.

"Be ready to move when a purple magic vent appears"

"Right."

More to do again. No, there's more I can do.

It is a great success to find out that you can create purple magic with negative demonic crystals, the Serendipity, which instead came down to me without a percent genius. Then we'll just do something about it with 100 percent effort and ingenuity.

If you want to go through with it in this situation, that's about right.
