"So what do you want to ask..."

"Uh, actually, we're on a request right now."

"All three of you?"

"Yes."

Nicola with a strange look on her face. Anyway, if it's just Rais and Lulimes, it's probably because some Seth are aristocrats. It is not true that mere alchemists and nobles receive the same request. However, since it is troublesome to explain the situation at any rate, Reyce speaks only about the matter.

"Maybe we need liquid metal for that request."

"Hmm, is it liquid metal?"

Nicola is the only craftsman I know of Leis. If it were her, even if she doesn't own liquid metal, she might know what's in circulation within the kingdom. With that in mind, I visited the place.

"I know a few things, but which liquid metal are you looking for, Mr. Reyes?

"Are some liquid metals in circulation in the country susceptible to changes in liquid and solid conditions? That's what turns it into a solid when it's heated."

When Reis touched the crystalline part of the crystalline dragon, it was warm as if blood was flowing. If you're going to feel that warm on the surface, the inside should be hotter. That's why Reis said it.

"Right......"

Nicola shows her contemplative work, silence. Honestly, when I don't even know two coras, I'm only about as bad of a virus as I think I can rely on. I'm kind of scared to rely on him, so I really want to avoid it. I don't see what you're going to be demanding in return.

"Speaking of which... I think I recently heard that a new liquid metal was imported into the kingdom"

"Do you know the name or where it was imported from?

He said the current state of Jinglong was unprecedented. Then there was something different.

New liquid metal. Likely.

Reyce either comes from expectations or becomes frozen in Russia.

"I think I heard you picked it up from the south... I wonder what your name was..."

"South, is it?"

I got the information I had in advance, and a new one called South, and there was one name that came up in Reyce's brain.

"Could it be - light silver?

"Oh, that's it, that!

"Uh, I see..."

Reyce said the right thing brilliantly. But his expression doesn't clear. Would it rather feel like I was happier to be off? Lulimes, too, leaks his voice and looks like a pain in the ass.

"Is there any left, by the way?

"I don't know, they didn't have many, and they probably don't have any more left"

"Well, right..."

I asked him what he wanted, but the answers he returned were just as expected. Reyce sighs like she's unwittingly tired.

But Seth, who doesn't know why Reis is depressed, was frowning. It would be a delightful occasion because I got the information I was looking for.

"Sure you didn't get it, but don't you just have to figure out who you are?

"No, well, if this is just metal, then it's all hail. For once, that's a nasty thing to say."

"What the hell? Whatever I say to the house to pick it up..."

"Maybe not."

With almost certainty, Reyce denies Seth's proposal. Because before the metal called lamp and silver was scarce, it was not available (...).

"Lights and silver are basically metals in the volcanic zone, but it's up to your luck to get them."

"Luck?"

"Volcanic areas with lamps and silver must be active, erupt regularly, and the mountains themselves are covered with heat."

In other words, light and silver exist only in so-called active volcanoes. This is not a problem because it is also found in other metals.

"So, there's one problem. Many volcanoes with lamps and silver have another piece of metal. And troublesome, the metal looks terribly like light and silver. That's so indistinguishable anymore."

Light and silver are rare metals, but they are extremely few to get because of the reasons Reyes said more than that. So what is the case when you get it?

"But light silver is liquid metal. Even though heat changes to solids, if the temperature changes, it also changes to liquids. In other words, only when the volcano is not active are the lights and silver found in liquids. There's nothing wrong with that."

Lights and silver are easily available only when in liquid condition. The point is, if you're aiming for a time when the volcano is inactive, getting it is easy in itself.

... But if this is the end of the story, neither will Reis bother his head.

The trouble lies ahead.

"It's a time when the volcano at heart is inactive... but this is another troublesome thing unknown. Thank you. They say there are spirits in the volcano where light silver is available, depending on their movements."

A Spirit is a form of magic that resides in a natural phenomenon, and can also be seen by humans with a high level of qualities as a magic guide. The spirits also dictate volcanic activity.

This is the element of luck in getting the light and silver that Reiss mentioned earlier. There is nothing that the Reyes can do, that is to say, the greatest enemy.

"... you're even troublesome"

"Besides, they don't have a particularly noticeable usage value for the light and silver that you struggle so hard to finally get. That doesn't mean nobody's going to get it, and it doesn't count. Especially after I recently exported to the kingdom."

For all the above reasons, Reyce could tell Seth that she couldn't get the light and silver. At the same time, it's why I thought it was bothersome.

Hopefully now is the time when volcanic activity is accidentally subsiding, but there will be no such sweet story. When that happens, we have to look for the real thing while there is a large amount of metal resembling light silver.

In the desert, it's like looking for a drop - maybe too much for a boulder, but there's something close to it.

"... do we really need to get the real thing in the first place? If you know who the metal is, you don't have to..."

"If I could experiment with the crystal dragon, I wouldn't need it."

Lights and silver are metal that neither Reis nor Lulimes have ever gotten. I have a past where I gave up obtaining because of the harsh conditions. I must therefore say that my knowledge of light and silver is still shallow.

It's important if you do something bad in that state and it turns out to be a matter of hurting Jinglong.

"... I see"

"The world doesn't work that well."

It's just annoying.

Nevertheless, I can't help complaining all the time. Unless you do as much as you can.

"Mr. Nicolas, can I ask you to find out if there's still light and silver in the kingdom"

"Yes, that's good..."

"I'll pay for it, and when I hear the results, I'll send my master over"

"Happy!!

On unspoken terms, Nicola jumps with her eyes shining. Lulimes, who was decided on his own, doesn't seem dissatisfied, but he doesn't complain.

"For once, will you just try to get Seth too? Or I want you to make sure the royal family doesn't have the rest."

"Oh, I get it."

If you still can't, you'll have to think about going on the ground this time to get it. Although, to be honest, it is the result I would most like to avoid.

"For now, that's all I have to do for today. Excuse me for taking the time."

"No, then I'll look into it, so I'm waiting for Mr. Lulimes to come!

Dropped off by Nicolas, who was true to desire, the Reyes left the store.
