The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

Alice gave a wry smile helplessly, and explained, "The first-generation hero Ani and the first-generation demon king Beatrice are actually playmates who have been together since childhood, but later separated for various reasons, and finally embarked on different paths. Road... Luca—that is, the soul of the demon king in this bottle, she doesn't want Aini to know about it."

"Hmm... is there such a relationship? Interpersonal relationships are really complicated. What I hate the most is dealing with this kind of thing."

There was a trace of confusion on Colette's face. It could be seen that the third Demon King was not very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and his brows were all wrinkled. In the past, if the first-generation hero prevented us from killing the first-generation Demon King because of this relationship, it would be very troublesome.”

This is exactly the soul that was stripped out of the first generation of the devil - what Luca is worried about, she has the memory of the first generation of the devil, so it is very clear that the first generation of brave Ani is a very naive guy, once she knows that the first generation of the devil is her childhood best friends, it is likely that the first generation of the devil will try to persuade the first generation of the devil to stop the war.

But obviously, there is no possibility of the first demon king being stopped, because the part of her human nature has been stripped away, and even her reason was wiped out by the first demon king. Si and the others launched an attack, as if they were already insane.

So even though the first-generation devil is his own body, Luca still didn't think about convincing the first-generation devil with words, but hoped that Alice and the others could completely solve the first-generation devil who had lost humanity, and wipe the power of the devil from this world. Go—and don't let that naive Ani get in the way.

"Thinking about it this way, is it better to wake up Luca?"

Alice glanced at the soul of the Lolita Demon King in the bottle. Her alias Luca's knowledge of the first generation of heroes and the first generation of Demon Kings can still be of help. It is not a problem if she keeps sleeping. She woke up, and Alice still wanted to try it, "Colette, the method you mentioned to shrink her soul...can you explain it in detail?"

Chapter 890 VII Alice Blood Loss

Luca—that is, the part of the soul extracted from the human nature by the first demon king. Because of the incompleteness of his own soul, he cannot carry the thinking ability of a normal person. Therefore, he was affected by the soul's self-protection mechanism and fell into a deep sleep. The best way to wake her up is to reduce her memory and thinking to a bearable range.

Of course, doing so will undoubtedly lose a lot of memory and thinking ability, and it may directly make this soul, which should have decades of memory and thinking ability, look like only a teenager—but as the soul grows As she grows slowly, her memory and thinking ability can also be replenished slowly, and that is the truly complete soul.

The reason for waking up Luca is to hope that Luca, as part of the soul of the first demon king, can provide more help to Alice and the others, although Alice and the others have already learned a lot about the first demon king from Luca's memory. But after all, it was just a picture like a movie, and it was definitely not as clear as Luca's first-person perspective.

But when Colette told Alice the method of shrinking the soul, Alice and others were a little speechless, because the method he gave was to use a special ore called "Froya's magic stone" to shrink Luca's soul. "Physical" extrusion - of course, because the soul itself has no entity, so I don't know if it can be considered a physical extrusion.

"Froya's magic stone? That is a name that has been abandoned thousands of years ago. Where did you know this name?"

Because of the magic stone, Alice and the others found the elf Flora who lives in an apartment outside the Royal Academy of Magic in March——Andusia's elf friend who travels around, and has attainments in magic stones. It can be called very professional, and it can be said that it has thoroughly studied the branch of magic stone in alchemy, so it is natural to find her.

Just according to what Flora said, the name "Froya's magic stone" has been abandoned about thousands of years ago, because this kind of magic stone was originally mined from the mountain range owned by a nobleman named Froya. Yes, so the nobleman named it after himself, but it didn't take long for the mine of this magic stone to be discovered in more other places.

Because many mines have been discovered, Froya's self-serving naming has gradually been forgotten by people. Finally, the alchemists named this ore "Soul Radiation Stone" after its nature. It has been called this name until now, and the name "Froya's Magic Stone" can only be seen in some ancient alchemy classics.

"...Soul Radiation Stone?"

When Alice heard the name, she felt a little familiar at the first time, and then thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered—isn't this the first demon king's soul she saw, the one possessed by Gulante? Is it a huge magic stone with radiation?Does that thing actually have the effect of shrinking the soul?

"Yes, on the one hand, it is because this kind of magic stone will have a shrinking effect on the soul, and long-term contact will cause the soul to shrink; It won't be too serious, but long-term exposure will also cause irreversible hidden injuries."

Flora nodded, and took out her backpack to rummage through. Although her backpack seems to be about the same size as a normal backpack, it is actually a prop that uses space magic, and the internal space is much larger than that of a normal backpack. It is much larger, "It is precisely because of this radiation that a special container is needed to store it."

Colette's expression beside Alice was a bit subtle, probably because he didn't expect that Froya's magic stone had been renamed thousands of years ago. Doesn't it make him look like an antique—but it's no wonder he, he The possessed Flami had a hard life since she was a child, and she had never been exposed to alchemy. She didn't know that the name of the magic stone changed normally.

"In fact, in the Demon King's City in the Demon Realm, there was a huge stele suspected to be a soul radiation stone, but the stele was too huge, causing the radiation emitted to be too terrifying, and ordinary people could not touch it at all, so the alchemy academic circle is very concerned about that stele. Whether it is the soul radiation stone or not has always been controversial."

While talking, Flora turned out a small glass cube from her backpack. In the middle of the cube was a black stone. On the surface of the stone, a little rainbow light reflected by the light could still be seen. , "This is the soul radiation stone, and the soul radiation stone that can be mined in general mines is only this volume."

Alice took the glass container, looked at the soul radiation stone inside, and then understood why the alchemy academic circles had disputes about whether the stone tablet in Demon King City was a soul radiation stone or not—because the size gap was too big, The soul radiation stone in this glass container is only about the size of a fingernail, and this is actually a normal volume.

Then, the stone tablet in the Demon King City, which is almost as high as a room, does not seem to be the size that the Soul Radiation Stone should be. I don’t know where that guy Gurant got it from. Is there any way for his subordinates to fuse these small pieces of soul radiation stones into that huge shape?

"Such a small piece of soul radiation stone...is it worth a lot?"

Alice thought about it, and asked this sentence. Although she is not short of money, she is still quite interested in the value of the Soul Radiation Stone. After all, this thing has many functions, except what Flora said In addition to those two abilities, this thing can actually be used to host the soul. Gulante, who has been dealt with by himself, is a typical example.

"It's very valuable. Although there were many soul radiation stones before, once this thing has an effect on too many souls, the effect will become weaker and weaker until it finally becomes an ordinary stone, so the current inventory is getting bigger and bigger. Less, there are already alchemists trying to artificially create similar magic stones to replace the soul radiation stone."

Flora nodded, and told Alice seriously, "In fact, there are alchemists who are eyeing the stone tablet in the Demon King's City, and want to help the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race solve the stone tablet of the suspected soul radiation stone, but in the end They all returned in vain...Even if they can get close, that stone tablet doesn’t know why it can’t be destroyed or moved.”

Alice did know the reason, it was because Gulant used the power of the devil to curse the soul radiation stele, and those whose strength was lower than his could not move or destroy the stele, and these alchemists studied academically all day long. Obviously, with their strength, it is impossible to surpass Gurant, and they can't do it even close.

But thinking about it this way, Alice still feels a bit at a loss. After he destroyed the stone tablet, all the fragments of the soul radiation stone were cleaned up by the four wind kings - if he knew the value of those magic stones Fortunately, if you don't know, the soul radiation stone that these alchemists are coveting, probably will be destroyed directly.

"Is this soul radiation stone enough?"

Alice turned her head to look at Gurant beside her, and handed over the Soul Radiation Stone contained in the glass container in her hand. Although Flora said that this was the normal size of the Soul Radiation Stone under normal circumstances, Alice After all, I have seen the huge stele of the soul radiation stone, so I am not sure if this small piece of magic stone is enough.

"It should be enough. Although Luca's soul is a genuine demon king's soul, under normal circumstances, a lot of soul radiation stones are definitely needed... But after all, it is a soul that has been forcibly filled. In essence, she is just a broken soul. , this small piece of soul radiation stone is enough."

Colette glanced at the soul radiation stone, thought about it, and finally nodded.

Chapter 890 The eighth chapter of the purification blade has made meritorious service (by mistake

The soul radiation stone given by Flora is covered with a special glass container. This glass container can isolate the radiation emitted by the soul radiation stone. Of course, the isolation ability naturally has an upper limit. The original alchemists I should have tried to use this kind of alchemy glass to deal with the soul radiation stone in the demon king's city, but it probably failed.

"The radiation released by such a small piece of soul radiation stone is not a problem for people of our strength... But this is a residential apartment after all, so it's better not to open it here."

Today is different from the past. When Alice first crossed over, she was troubled by the radiation of the Soul Radiation Stone, but now her physical fitness has long been able to ignore the influence of this radiation—not to mention that the Soul Radiation Stone is far away. It's not as big as the one in Demon King's City, so its radiation does little damage to her.

But Alice and the others can ignore this kind of radiation, but other ordinary people can't. Flora now lives in a house in an apartment building, and the residents of this entire building are undoubtedly ordinary people, let alone Lilith Still by her side, Flora's strength can't ignore radiation, so obviously she can't take out the soul radiation stone here.

"The Soul Radiation Stone has special operating equipment, but I don't have it on hand... After all, the equipment is quite complicated. If it is placed in the backpack, it is easy to be damaged due to long-distance bumps. It would be a waste of money. "

Flora shrugged her shoulders and said that she couldn't help. All her luggage was just this backpack. Although a large space was expanded inside the backpack with space magic, most of the things were still randomly piled inside. , The space in the backpack will also vibrate, if there are any delicate instruments inside, it is indeed easy to break.

"Then find a place where no one is around and open this container, Colette, do you know how to use the soul radiation stone to shrink the soul?"

Alice was also a little helpless when she heard the words, she could only turn her head to look at Colette to ask for advice, and Colette nodded after hearing the words:

"Leave this to me. Although my alchemy is not very strong, using the Froya magic stone... oh, it should be called the soul radiation stone now. Using the soul radiation stone to shrink the soul is not very complicated. I can help with work."

"But where should we go? Don't forget, the radiation emitted by the soul radiation stone is not only effective for people, but also for plants. If we find a forest like we did just now, I'm afraid it will cause a small area The forest has been radiated to destroy its vitality, so we must take care of the environment."

It's just that before Alice and the others triggered it, Milia spoke again - according to the contract she said before, she must speak to help maintain nature when necessary, although the final result of the maintenance has nothing to do with her, but At the very least, she has to maintain the behavior, so she suddenly said this sentence at this time.

"This problem is not simple? Didn't Alice just cleared out an open space without plants? Why don't you just go there?"

Lilith said - Alice's uncontrolled purification blade just now directly destroyed almost a small forest, and indeed forcibly destroyed a piece of wasteland. If it was there, There is no need to worry about the radiation affecting the surrounding creatures. After all, the trees there are only sawdust.

"Is it really okay to go directly there? Although we might not have been discovered because we were in the forest when we released the blade of purification... But by now, satellites should have noticed that the forest was destroyed, right?"

Alice was a little helpless. This world also has artificial satellites. Although the creation is based on magic as a theory, its functionality is basically the same. Therefore, Alice estimated that the forest suddenly became bald. After such a period of time, it should have been destroyed by humans Just noticed it.

In this case, if they ran over directly, they would probably be directly discovered by the satellites that have been observing there. Even though it was an inconspicuous small forest before, it must have been noticed by people now.

"You can rest assured about this. I have already contacted King Height and asked him to help deal with this matter. The area will be dealt with in a few days. Before that, no one else will pay attention to the situation there. .”

However, as soon as Alice finished speaking, Luna's voice rang out. She seemed to have already considered how to deal with the follow-up matters brought about by the blade of purification, so she had already contacted Heite in advance. Seeing Alice's concern, she opened her mouth to explain what she had just done.

I have to say that Luna is really capable as a maid. Alice has always felt that she has caused a lot of troubles, but she has never seen related news on the magic net. Maybe it is because Luna has silently helped her Those things are sorted out.

It's just that if Alice didn't take the initiative to bring it up, Luna wouldn't specifically tell Alice about her funeral—just like this time, if Alice and the others didn't want to return to the destroyed forest, they probably wouldn't Knowing that Luna has contacted Heite to deal with the follow-up effects of the purification blade just now.

======================================

"Then, let's get started."

Standing on the land that had been plowed by the blade of purification, Colette held a kitchen knife and a saw in both hands, and looked at the two items placed on the ground in front of him—one was a drink bottle containing Luca's soul , and the other is the soul radiation stone, and at this time the soul radiation stone has been taken out of the container, spreading subtle radiation.

Standing aside, Alice could feel the effects of the radiation, but her current physique did not need to worry about being affected by the radiation at all, and behind her stood Lilith and Flora—— Although the two of them cannot resist radiation, Luna has attached an enchantment to their bodies, so they will not be affected by the radiation.

"Every time I see these two alchemy props of yours, I feel very weird. It makes people think that you are not doing alchemy, but killing people."

Alice looked at the kitchen knife and saw in Colette's hand, and couldn't help complaining—although she already knew that it was a prop used by Colette as an alchemist for "spiritual smelting", but the weirdness of perception was really Make it impossible for her to ignore it.

"I've already done the calculations. At the beginning, I had an alchemist under my command. That guy's 'spiritual refining' tool was a leather whip. Every time I saw him doing alchemy, it was like spinning a spinning top. The bottle of the potion was smashed, and there was a lot of fuss."

Colette pouted, and retorted—the props he used were still easy to control, much better than some alchemists' weird props.

Chapter 890 IX Be Careful Of Radiation

The props used for "spiritual refinement" were really amazing. Alice watched helplessly as Colette used a saw to saw an incomplete cut on the surface of Lucca's little soul, and then used a kitchen knife to finely cut the cut. A huge gap was cut, and finally the soul radiation stone was controlled by the power of thought and put into Luca's soul.

The operation seems to be very simple, but in fact there must be a lot of skills used in it, because at least Alice does not know how to insert a physical soul radiation stone into the soul without a physical body. If something with substance is put into the soul, it will only pass through the body of the soul without substance.

If you insist, the relationship between the soul and the soul radiation stone should be reversed - the soul can be attached to the soul radiation stone, but the soul radiation stone cannot be inserted into the soul, so Colette's operation just now must have used What kind of alchemy method Alice has never heard of, and it also involves the complex level of the soul.

"Is this all right? And then wait?"

Alice looked at Luca who was put back into the drink bottle by Colette, and asked curiously—after the soul radiation stone was put into Luca's soul, it was completely integrated into it like this, but even if it was integrated After entering, Luca didn't seem to wake up. I don't know if it will take a while to wake up.

"That's right, just wait, she will wake up after a few days... I just used alchemy to implant the soul radiation stone into her soul, and then I just need to wait for the effect of the soul radiation stone to continuously affect Her soul, just let her soul contract."

Kelette nodded, and glanced at Luca's soul in the drink bottle in Alice's hand. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his right hand and gestured with his thumb and forefinger, "It has probably shrunk to half its current size, about this size. Size, her thinking ability should shrink to the extent that the current integrity of the soul can carry."

"So that's it, that's good... But the radiation of the soul radiation stone seems to be still there. After all, the soul itself has no entity, so naturally there is no effect of isolating radiation."

After hearing Colette's explanation, Alice immediately understood, but then she discovered another problem - although the soul radiation stone had been put into Luca's soul, Luca's soul was obviously not like that special glass container , can isolate the radiation emitted by the soul radiation stone, so now the radiation is continuously released centered on Luka.

In this case, Alice has no way to bring Luca back. Although the radiation emitted by Luca is far less serious than the soul radiation stone in Demon King City, it can radiate at least half a street away. In the city, there must be countless people who will be harmed by radiation, and Alice can't let this happen.

"The glass container used to put the soul radiation stone doesn't seem to have the function of storing souls, so I can't stuff Luca's soul into that glass container... and that container is indeed a little small, put a small stone It's okay, Luca's current soul is about the size of a palm, and it probably won't fit in."

Milia, who was floating beside Alice, touched her chin and said, as a soul, she seemed to have a special right to speak at this time, "It's a pity that my alchemy ability is limited, and I don't know how to modify the anti-radiation container, otherwise I can help you This beverage bottle was further modified, transforming it from a 'soul container' to a 'radiation-resistant soul container'."

"I don't know how to make anti-radiation alchemy containers... Although this guy named Milia and I have both learned alchemy, you also know that it is often enough for demon kings to learn things, just like To learn spiritual magic, you only need to be able to release the forbidden spell of the spiritual system, and you will not be proficient in the true sense."

Colette also agreed, "Only in the field that the devils are really interested in, will they thoroughly study a certain subject. For example, the maid Luna by your side is a devil who is proficient in spiritual magic, and I am more proficient in Psychic magic... so although we know a little bit of alchemy, what we can do is very limited."

"Then what kind of alchemist is needed to make a radiation-proof container?"

Andusia sat on Alice's shoulder and asked while swinging her legs - she doesn't know alchemy, after all, although every devil has dabbled in various types of magic subjects, there are so many types of magic , and it is impossible to always cover everything. Andusia belongs to the type who knows almost nothing about alchemy.

If it is necessary to say that Andusia has learned something related to alchemy, it is probably only when she used the power of the devil to forge props that she studied a little bit of alchemy-related knowledge.

"It's better to be an advanced alchemist. For example, the elf who gave you the soul radiation stone is called Flora, right? Since that guy has so much research on magic stones, he should be able to make anti-radiation props, but he doesn't know how to do it." How about determining her handy study of the soul."

Colette said, "If she can only make a radiation-proof container, but not a container for the soul, it may not be helpful-we can do this kind of alchemy on the soul because we have studied the soul. Magic, if that elf hasn't studied souls, I'm afraid he won't be able to create a radiation-proof container that can hold souls."

"That means Flora can't help, right..."

Alice was a little distressed. She hadn't thought of this kind of problem at all before. Scratching her head, Alice's gaze inadvertently glanced at the anti-radiation glass container that she threw on the ground beside her, and then she seemed to think of something. , walked over quickly, and then picked up the glass container with his right hand.

She still had the impression that when she took the glass container from Flora just now, the function of this glass container popped up in her mind - of course, because it was nothing outstanding, Alice didn't take it seriously, but thinking about it now, Maybe this thing can help Alice at this time.

[Weapon: Flora's handmade anti-radiation display box]

[Quality: OK]

[Effect: Magic +15]

[Additional ability: Radiation isolation (passive skill, the radiation inside you cannot penetrate your body)]

If it was before, even if Alice saw this ability, she might not think it was useful, but now, Alice felt that saying no would be useful—she concentrated on her right hand, and soon, A faint white ball of light emerged from the surface of the glass container.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"So that's it, are you extracting the ability of that radiation-proof glass container?"

Seeing Alice grabbing the glass container with her right hand, and then a ball of light was peeled off from the surface of the glass container, Milia immediately understood what Alice was thinking—aside from the girl's chubbyness. Regardless of the situation, the ability to extract other items is undoubtedly inextricably linked to the ability of the item itself.
