After being betrayed by the Empire, I decided to assist the Demon King

Chapter 34 Teachings and the Nature of Alchemy

"Ding!"

"Hmm~"

The scarlet sickle in Satan Ye's hand was knocked away by the slender stinger in Ira's hand... The long-handled weapon held in both hands was knocked away by the seemingly light rapier. This is an unimaginable picture .

This is the power of [Fourth Wing Pillar Giant Bee Wingspan]. At this moment, the transparent wings protruding from the spine near the waist of Ira prove that the source of Mana is Ila's previous battle. Killed a giant bee.

"I lost."

As Satan Ye said so, she reached out to recall the scarlet demon sickle, silently thinking about her shortcomings in the previous battle, and she summed it up for the time being... Sure enough, she was still not familiar with the usage of the sickle.

"If you find it difficult to use, then you don't need to use it, and you don't need to move closer to your father in everything."

Ira said so, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "Actually, your father's sickle seems to have no skill, and I still think that he only uses the sickle because it is not a low-level [magic staff] .”

Recalling the fight with the scarlet dragon demon king on the battlefield, Ira seemed to realize something, and said: "He uses a sickle, and the most common way is to smash or release the light cannon...that is, the beam of light gathered by mana. attack."

"..."

"Well, is that so?"

Satan Ye, who seemed not very familiar with her father's fighting style, said this, she looked at the scythe in her hand hesitantly, and poured mana into the scythe without a teacher.

Mana is filled in the scythe... Although the quality and control ability of Mana, Satan Ye is not qualified, but because of the strength of the scarlet dragon race, after these days of training and witnessing the fight that day, her Mana The numbers have grown by leaps and bounds.

At least to the extent that it can withstand the use of Satan Ye himself and Ira at the same time.

Therefore, this is also the confidence for her to instill Mana in the sickle at this moment.

"..."

Constant injection, following the guidance of the sickle... Wait!
Realizing that something was wrong, Satan Ye's eyes widened, and Ira's reminder was long overdue, and his voice came from the opposite side: "It's great, but it's best to stop injecting mana, and then quickly type out ...you don't have enough control..."

As soon as Ira spoke halfway, Satan Ye felt that the scythe in her hand was a little out of control. She simply cut off the connection between her Mana and the scythe, and shouted: "Mr. Ira! Get out of here!"

As soon as the words fell, the scarlet demon sickle inherited from her father in her hand released a crescent-like slash in an instant, and flew towards Ira under Xilina's shocked eyes.

"Ah, so..."

Looking at the crescent-shaped mana scythe coming at a high speed, Ira said so, and he had no choice but to strengthen the needle in his hand with the mana he cheated directly from the world tree, and continued: "Be careful of your own limits... ..."

While saying this, the bright red mana crescent flying with a huge wind pressure collided with the thin needle that Yila swung violently, making a crisp and sharp sound: " Ding!!!!"

"bump!!!"

Accompanied by a slight explosion sound, the scarlet Mana was instantly disintegrated by Ira's sword, scattered in the air in an instant, and turned into dense red dust.

Under Satan Ye's guilty gaze, Yila gently shook the bee stinger in her hand, bathed in the scarlet mana, and said, "I don't need this expression, in fact, I have expected it to be like this Things have happened, and you still have a lot to learn.”

"Well... yes, Mr. Ira!"

----------

Vera, who was fiddling with the giant bee's corpse, seemed to feel the slight explosion sound. She was immersed in the research and raised her head slightly, realizing that it was the teacher-student session between Satan Ye and Ila, and she quickly ignored the explosion sound .

"Sure enough, the reason why a monster is a monster is not only the mind, but also the soul?"

Vera was talking to herself like this, but she couldn't figure it out all the time. Is the wisdom of the mind determining the quality of the soul, or is the destined soul determining the upper limit of the mind?

"Giant bees, whether they are worker bees, soldier bees, or queen bees, their souls cannot be used to refine the Philosopher's Stone."

Vera propped her chin with her hands, because she was a little tired, so she put the burden on her chest on the table. She tapped the table lightly with her other hand, thinking about something.

What was placed on the table was a stone with a muddy color, and what Vera wanted was a colorful stone-like thing, even if this amount of soul could only be refined into a little bit of residue.

"Oh, I still don't understand."

Vera said helplessly, she played with the muddy stone casually, and decided to give this magic stone to the leader of the construct in the Demon King's collar. She said with emotion: "Alchemy is really difficult. I understand, it would be great if Guleira was here."

Talking to herself, the [Gu Leila] mentioned by Vera is the court alchemist of the empire. It is worth mentioning that... the alchemists of the empire are all crazy admirers of Ira.

Because they will always go after the manuscripts that Ira draws out of boredom beyond ordinary people's imagination, and there are also some fanatics who will shout [Hey hey hey!My Lord Ira!Small and fragrant!Hey hey hey! ] and the like.

That kind of fanaticism will make people wonder what Ira looks like in their eyes... Their behavior has become the material for many bards who make a living in taverns to describe the fanatics of the Theocracy.

Because the entire line of alchemy is considered to be a member of the [Ira sect], and now after Ira defected, I don’t know if it will be suppressed by the empire... From what I know about Isabella, Wei La felt that at least she would not be suppressed.

But other nobles are hard to say... After all, those guys are nobles!

"I remember that guy Gu Leila seemed to hate Ira..."

Vera, who seemed to have thought of something, looked at the fake philosophic stone (waste) in her hand... It seemed that some theory by Ira made Gu Leila a fanatic all of a sudden.

What's the theory?

Vera frowned and thought about it. She should have an impression. If it doesn't work, she can ask Ila... although Ila may not remember what happened ten years ago.

"Hmm... that's right!"

Seems to be……

……

【Ok?Is there a difference between alchemy and magic?Well, the mana consumed in magic is used to create magic. The properties that are as hot as fire and as cold as ice appear out of thin air. 】

【But the mana consumed in alchemy is just a medium, because...】

"Because [the essence of alchemy is not to create something out of nothing, but to exchange at equal value]?"

Vera thought about what Yila had said, she seemed to understand something, and she threw herself into a new round of experiments with bright eyes.
