─ ─ Villain Lady and Alchemy

I put the removed Javawok material in the space gap and descended the next morning with Illis. Mr. Airhardt didn't seem to notice, and he succeeded in safely descending the mountain.

"Is that it? Sister, what are you lowering from your neck?

"This? You're gonna be good at magic. Bullshit. Shall I give it to Illis, too?

"Do you mind?

"Of course."

No one will see this purple liquid on a boulder and instantly spot it as Javawok's fluid. I put the same blood in the same glass bottle as mine and put it up separately, just in case I could never drink it to Illis.

I hope this makes Illis better at witchcraft too!

Well, that was it, and I decided to make a face for the Witch Society with the material from when I defeated Javawok as a souvenir.

"Well, it's rare with Javawok material."

Mr. Seraphine looks uncommonly at the Javawok material I removed and preserved in the space gap.

"Is it unusual?

"Oh. For a long time, Javawok materials have been valuable to magicians. They used to live more than they do now, but they disappeared somewhere to see if this world had gotten any harder to live. It's hard to just knock it down, but if you knock it down, it's a pile of treasure."

Doesn't that mean the numbers have decreased due to random seizures? I wonder what caused it?

"But if you want to leave this to me, you should leave it to Camilla. I can hear your precious story, can't I?

"Precious story?

"That's right. He was an alchemist before he was a witch."

Alchemy. Speaking of which, it was a fantasy world of swords and magic, but you didn't see alchemy altogether. It's usually supposed to be common.

"Well, I'll ask Mr. Camilla,"

Is Mr. Valentine a space manipulator, Mr. Seraphine a blood magic, and Mr. Camilla an alchemy?

"Mr. Camilla. I have Javawok material for my souvenir."

"Oh. Is that Javawok material? That's unusual again."

Ms. Camilla was reading a book written in an unknown language at some point.

"Mr. Seraphine told me that if I showed Mr. Camilla this material, she could hear an interesting story. What do you think?

"Interesting, is it? I don't know if it's funny, but we can talk about alchemy."

I tell you, Mr. Camilla smiles slightly.

"Did you know that something called alchemy is a kind of lost-magic?

"What is Lost Magic?

"Yeah. It's Lost Magic."

Hehe. I wonder what alchemy means by Lost Magic or something.

"Alchemy has once, as its name suggests, been developed as a means to generate gold. But when the elemental magic showed that gold could be produced, the alchemists began to turn to a different purpose."

"Another purpose?

"It's the development of poisons."

Yeah? Why would you try to make poison if you knew money was easy to make?

"Alchemy deals with many chemicals in the process. Few of them are harmful to the human body. Alchemists have produced many poisons with such chemicals. Blood magic walls can't even prevent death drugs."

Oh. Alchemy is also the foundation of modern chemistry on Earth, isn't it? It must be natural to be able to make poisons out of chemistry.

"The poison the Alchemists make was powerful. To the point of killing the king, destroying the city, and striking the army. But people fear alchemy and choose to forget it."

"So to Lost Magic……………."

But didn't it have the effect of banning alchemy? What kind of chemistry and physics are we learning in school behind schedule?

"Even if we ban alchemy, people have done something similar in the process of pursuing witchcraft. How to generate drugs to cure new diseases and understand the world."

That's right. I think he was on his face again.

"What I'm dealing with is old age alchemy. Of course you can make poison. With that Javawok material, you will also be able to create powerful poisons. It's like killing all the citizens of Hafel."

"Yeah."

It's such a mess. But if that's all powerful poison, it may not be impossible to strike the army either. Let me know... No, nothing so inhumane......

"You can tell me if it's poisonous. However, it is not recommended to use"

"Yes, no, thank you."

I wonder if the poison tastes bad on boulders. I feel like it's a line I shouldn't cross.

"Then why don't you make a ring that creates a magical barrier? Or accessories that improve the effectiveness of Blood Magic. Because Javawok's materials are so full of magic."

"Absolutely!

Yay! Maybe I'll be able to bond like Fenrill too!

"Now let's teach you how to create equipment using alchemy."

"Please!

I'm going to consume the souvenir.

"Let's finely crush these materials first. Scales and meat should be finely chopped and crushed. Doing so makes it an alchemy material. That's what you mix with this mixture. Look at this for recipes for mixed liquids."

Hmm. Fly eyeballs on cord, baby blood and sulphuric acid...... Not even Roku......

"To make a ring that creates a barrier, you can produce it with Javawok scales and blood. The portion has 80% scales and 20% blood. If we can combine these well, we can make red jewels like this."

Mr. Camilla tells him so, measuring the scales and blood in a scale, soaking the Javawok material, carefully transformed into an alchemy material, with a mixture full of suspicious substances, stirring them together as they simmer.

"Come on, pour your magic power here, Mr. Astrid"

"Yes, sir"

It smells so strange... Honestly, I don't want to pour magic......

But if I think I can use the junction, it's cheap!

That's why I'm going to put my magic power into the ex-Javawok material that turned into a mysterious liquid that emits a strange odor. Take my magic power.

"That's about all you need. Because too much pouring will make the material unbearable and cause collapse. Just because you pour it in bulk doesn't mean the barrier gets stronger. Materials limit it."

"It's Rika!

Does alchemy have to think about materials? That's tough.

"Now, the finish is this mercury and your blood, Mr. Astrid. 1 teaspoon of mercury and 2 or 3 drops of blood."

"Eye, mum!

If you come with alchemy, it's mercury! You can't use mercury on Earth anymore, but if it comes with alchemy, you won't let it! I feel fantastic filling!

So I poured my own blood into a hot pot of pompous and ex-Javawok material cut with a teaspoon of mercury and a knife as directed by Mr. Camilla.

"Oh. Sounds good. It's done, Mr. Astrid."

When Mr. Camilla told him so, he put a spoon in the boiled pan and removed the red and shining gem from it, placing it on the cloth.

"I could!

"After that, you should wipe the mixture and cover it with perfume as well. But don't touch it with your bare hands because it's still hot."

Done! It does smell a little awful right now, but I guess it will improve over time. When it's hot and cold, wipe a lot of mixing liquid and perfume it. And it's attached to the ring!

"Can I make something else out of Javawok material?

"So shall we create accessories that increase the efficiency of Blood Magic? This is also easy to make. The original Javawok material is good. The boulder is only a magical creature from ancient Tai."

So I used another Javawok material from it to create a gem that would improve the efficiency of Blood Magic. I have a bad taste in fitting a bunch of rings, so let's make this a bracelet as well.

"By the way, didn't you get the Javawok eyeballs?

"That crushed my head and knocked me down……………………………."

That's how sorry I am to see and tell Mr. Camilla about the remaining Javawok material.

Yes, it is. Javawok's head was blown away by me with an anti-tank grenade, and Fenrill smashed it so it didn't look like he had any left.

"Hmm. That's a shame. The eyeball turned out to be a good material."

I don't like accessories that use eyeballs on boulders......

"If possible, you wanted us to capture you alive. Javawok's ability to regenerate is so high that if I caught one, I could collect six or seven pieces of material, and if I kept it, I could take unlimited amounts of material."

"Wow."

Wow. It's the devil's idea. But I couldn't afford to capture Javawok at my best just to defeat him. I can't catch that one or anything. Difficult.

"Well, there will be a lot of things you can do just with this. Can we have the rest of this material?

"Yeah, that's why I brought it back."

I brought it back from the beginning with the intention of presenting it to Mr. Camilla. Though I was supposed to make my accessories unexpectedly.

"Still, how does this barrier gem activate?

"If you put magic into that gem, it activates. Point that radiant surface in the direction you want it to act, right? Would you like to try it?

"Yes!"

Now I'm like the kid who bought me a new toy!

"Now throw this coin, so try to prevent it with a barrier"

"Go ahead!"

When I set up the jewel, I turned to Mr. Camilla's radiant side and poured magic.

"Bye."

Mr. Camilla played the coin with her thumb, slapped it with bread and threw the coin at me.

The coin came straight at me.

"Whoa?"

It made a kinky noise and was played at my present.

"This is the barrier. It's also called the junction, but it's not more powerful than the junction. But if it's about an arrow or a flame, you can prevent it."

"Wow! Thank you, Mr. Camilla!

This not only increases your Attack, but also your Defense!

"Needless to say, this is Lost Magic, so don't use it too publicly."

"Absolutely!

The gems that make this barrier are also due to alchemy. I have to keep it to myself.

Hehe. But now our army has doubled in strength......! Victory Day is near!
