"Red stone... red like the color of blood"

I remembered the [Incomplete Stone of the Sage] made from the souls of those killed in battle that I had previously heard from Ana-san.

Who the hell are you?

An old man in a robe tells the rest of the soldiers to capture us with their hands.

As a result, the soldiers rushed towards us.

However, Marc and Letia, who had already taken the leash, were stunned, and the rest were stopped by Ariel's magic arrows and stunned by Lynn's head.

The old man sitting on the throne is not as strange as the old man in the robe who gives instructions to jump up and capture us.

"Yes, there are so many useless people... you guys, who are you!" What can I do for you, a wolf in a place like this... "

There, the old man in the robe stops talking.

The gaze was nailed to me and to Wu Wen, who had red wings beside me.

"Green hair like a young leaf, blue eyes. And that face. And the red dragon....."

The old man clenched his mouth.

"Nguyen Reel..."

"Yes! This is my new master." The alchemist of the descendants of Nguyen Reel-sama! "

The old man looks at me with a stare at the words.

"The descendants of Nguyen Reel... moreover, an alchemist?"

... I'm a little scared, but...

When I looked around, everyone laughed and nodded to me as if they were brave.

I thought it was okay.

So I nodded to his words.

"Yes, my name is Daisy von Presularia. The Alchemist of Zartenburg! I'm here to stop the war you seek!"

I proclaimed so, and offered him an Azotrod adorned with prayer stones.

"This is a prayer stone made from the stone left by the ancient gods in their desire for peace. The stone that Master Nguyen Reel wanted to make. This is a stone that will bring peace to all. This is the ultimate alchemist's goal!"

"What do you mean? The Elixir that brings immortality and the Stone of the Sage are the ultimate purpose of an Alchemist. I'm trying to get to the top of the Alchemist, Gerz.... if you were an alchemist, you'd know about the Elixir!"

"I know, but I won't admit it." I mean, how many people does that benefit? And is it really happier to live forever? "

I asked the old man in the robe, Gerds, and I returned.

"The chosen man will rule the rest of mankind, and with eternal life, he will govern consistently. That would be the ideal of governance!"

Consistent governance. That is certainly true.

As long as the ruler hasn't changed and the policy hasn't been decided, it can't be anything big.

Even though my status was low from the Viscount family, I knew it.

... but...

I looked around again at everyone around me.

What if I were chosen by the Stone of the Wise, the Elixir, to have eternal life?

What if, at their expense, they became stone materials for the wise men?

Even if it doesn't become a material, everyone will die one day, right, leaving me to live forever?

... no!

"Do you really want eternal life? No friends, no family... no one wants to live with you."

I threw the answer I gave to Gerds.

He should have lived normally. Then my family and I would have been friends.

It was a friend... that's what Nguyen Lee said.

"... haha. It's sentimental!" I threw that thing away! "No, it's better if my friends and I are abandoned..."

No!

"What does the little girl say!"

"No! I mean, Nguyen Reel-sama wrote about you as a friend." He wants to stop you. That's why you're doing research. Someday I want you to stop someone in the future, that's what I wrote! "

I denied it to Gerds head on.

Because I just wanted to make sure that Nguyen Leel-sama's thoughts were properly communicated.

That's one of the reasons I came here.

Nguyen Reel-sama wrote that he wanted his friend Gerz to stop.

"... my friend?"

While you're arguing with me, your arm that was stretched out to the side goes down without strength.

And put your hands on your chest.

"That left me in a shame....... I deny my research, leave, and hear that I have a cage in the tower....."

"That's right. And to deny your wrong research in that tower... right, no." I was looking for a good, conscientious answer! "

When I told him, Gerds scratched his chest with his wrinkled hands.

"So what? I broke up with my friend, I broke up with my friend and I lived without anyone to understand me...?"

Saying that, I collapsed and poked my knees.

"... even though Nguyen Reel-sama is not an alchemist, this is the answer." And this is what I've made, taking over some of the materials and my aspirations! ”

Once again, I offered Gerz a stone of prayer.
