Philosopher's Stone!

Does this really exist?

Reiner's face was full of confusion and he looked at Lord Field.

"Are those legends true? Do the philosopher's stones that turn stones into gold, the alchemy dolls that are indistinguishable from humans, and the door of truth that touches all knowledge? ”

Reiner didn't believe in these things, but now that a high-ranking mage had brought it up, he had to reconsider.

"Let's not talk about the alchemy puppet and the gate of truth, the Sage's Stone does exist, but the effect is not as simple as turning stones into gold."

Lord Field bowed slightly.

"The Philosopher's Stone is actually a magic crystal of extremely high purity, which contains extremely pure magic power, which is enough to support the casting of magic above the seven rings, and for mid-level mages, this is the best tool for the use of magic at the next level."

"Then why hasn't such a thing been popularized before, it stands to reason that this should be a fairly convenient magic tool."

Reiner was a little confused.

"Because the Philosopher's Stone was originally created to fight against ancient mages, the material of this magic crystal is the soul of the mage, the more powerful the mage, the more powerful the Philosopher's Stone can be created, and the powerful Philosopher's Stone can be used to use more powerful magic to defeat the ancient mage."

Lord Field sighed, as if thinking about the tragic situation of the past.

Although in the history books, the magic revolution led by Lord Braggs is only a few sentences, but the real situation is extremely tragic, the mages of the ancient magic empire naturally could not allow their authority to be stolen by others, so they launched an attack on Lord Braggs and other mages, and the magic melee between the two sides has left indelible traces in many half-planes.

However, due to the fact that Lord Braggs's modern magic system can make a mage grow up quickly, the more he fights, the stronger he becomes, and in the end, the mages of the ancient magic empire even had the idea of destroying the stargate to split the half-plane, but it was stopped in time, so it did not cause a tragedy.

In such a cruel environment, the birth of the Philosopher's Stone does not seem to be incomprehensible, Lord Braggs and others need a powerful means to fight against the ancient magic empire with thousands of years of accumulation, and the Philosopher's Stone, which is getting stronger and stronger the more you fight, is the best choice.

By the end of the war, when the dust had settled, the High Council blocked any news of the Philosopher's Stone, and other information disturbances were circulating, describing the powerful Philosopher's Stone as a tool that could turn stones into gold.

After listening to Lord Field's explanation, Reiner sighed with emotion, but also had a bold idea, since the philosopher's stone that turns stones into gold does exist, then the so-called alchemy puppets that are no different from human beings, and the door of truth that touches all knowledge, are also real, but the actual function is completely different from what the legend describes?

He voiced his doubt, to which Lord Field smiled.

"You're smart, Reiner, but these things aren't accessible at your current level of magic, which can cause uncontrollable changes in your perception, even if it's the Philosopher's Stone, because you've come into contact with Macon. That's why Hydahya told you. ”

He didn't answer Reiner's question directly, paused, and continued.

"There's a good chance that Macon has left Olmster, and after the Serpent of Chaos failed to attack you, there shouldn't be a second time in the near future, at least you can feel at ease recently."

"No, Lord Field."

Reiner denied it.

"I don't think Macon left Olmster, he should still be lurking in the city."

"Huh? Why? ”

Lord Field had already prepared to leave, but when he heard Reiner's words, he sat back down.

"Originally, I was a little skeptical, but I couldn't be sure until you said that Macon was a member of the Chaos Serpent and had mastered how to make the Philosopher's Stone."

Reiner explained that he had thought something strange before, and now he had finally been answered.

"Macon has been in Olmster for twenty years, has been hiding his identity, no one has found out, must be an extremely cautious and cautious person, but in the backyard of my aunt's villa, traces of alchemy experiments can be easily detected in the dirt, as a room for alchemy laboratories, although repainting has been carried out, but such a means of covering up traces is too low-level."

This was the strange feeling Reiner had felt earlier, and the contradiction between Macon's image and the front and back of the information he had obtained made Reiner wonder.

Now, knowing Macon's true identity, Reiner has further refined his guess.

"I'm wondering if these traces of cover-up were deliberately left behind by Macon to attract other mages to find his possible legacy, but Macon actually wanted to make the Philosopher's Stone!"

Although Reiner has not been exposed to this kind of routine of releasing wind to attract outsiders and hiding behind the scenes to reap the benefits, it is easy to think of it, especially the Philosopher's Stone, a forbidden thing that requires the soul of a mage as a raw material, and it needs to be covered up.

"It's an interesting idea, and it's a possibility."

Lord Field had not known of Macon's residence before, and naturally he could not have thought of Reiner's ideas.

"I'll hide in Olmster and observe, you move normally, and if something happens, I'll be there in time."

He handed Reiner a card with Eagles on it. Field's name.

"At the critical moment, inject magic into it, and I will perceive it first."

With that, Lord Field stood up and waved away.

The ambiguity of the surroundings suddenly became noisy, and Reiner felt like he had returned to reality from the isolated world, presumably with Lord Field's departure, suggesting that the spell had also failed at the same time.

"Is this spell that can be used to eat the overlord's meal?"

Reiner thought that he saw that Claire was almost finished eating, so he called the waiter to settle the bill.

As soon as the two of them got up, they heard a commotion next to them, and when they looked closely, they saw that it was a drunken man who was being carried out by the waiter in the restaurant.

"Another one who eats the overlord's meal, takes all the valuable things from him, and throws them out."

The restaurant manager said indignantly, and then he saw Reiner again.

"Sir, you go slowly, and come back next time."

Claire ate food at the price of a gold coin alone, and today it can be said that she has played at a super level, and the restaurant manager naturally likes such a customer.

Reiner and Claire walked past the fallen man in the doorway, and he couldn't help but glance at each other, only to realize that this person was the guy who pretended to be sick on the regular ship.

It seems that he is used to swaggering and deceiving, and finally planted here.

Reiner thought about it and sensed the other party's situation slightly, but was surprised to find that this man seemed to contain magic in his body, at least a first-ring mage.

"Could it be that he is also a mage who came after hearing the rumors of Macon, how many such people still gather in Olmster?"

Reiner thought to himself.

"What's wrong?"

Claire asked, seeing Reiner stop abruptly.

"Nothing."

Not wanting Claire to worry too much, Reiner gently took her hand.
