The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I'll Manage My Store Carefr
250. Incomplete Sage Stone
"Um... Ana-san"
What's the matter?
I asked her in confusion.
Even though it's incomplete, did the wise man build the stone and elixir of the wise man called Gerz?
"... what did you say?"
Anna answered my question by putting her hand around her mouth.
"The Stone of the Sage is said to be forged by the alchemist himself or only communicated orally to his very limited disciples.... well, I don't know if that's actually true."
Saying that, Anna still seems to have explained what happened.
So, did someone named Gerds teach you how to make sage stones, or did you make them yourself?
"... well, that's what happens." It's just a matter of how to make it. "
In that case, I chewed the fingertip of the hand that was attached to my mouth.
To Ana, who is always calm, is too unusual an attitude.
"... how do you make it?"
I didn't know what I was going to do, so I asked Ana frankly.
"... Daisy, don't be surprised. That's good."
Anna's gaze turned to something gentle that cared for me.
I'm sure he cares about being shocked and overwhelmed.
"... yes, I understand"
I replied, exhaling heavily and inhaling.
That alone calms the mind.
Anna-san, please.
"... yes..."
That said, there was a moment of silence between Ana and me.
"... his wise man's stone ingredients." It's a problem. "
What's the ingredient?
"Oh, yes. Alchemy is the basic principle that creates beneficial things from worthless things. So he looked at something."
"... what is that?"
I still can't come up with that answer on my own, so I ask Ana.
It's a soul.
Soul?
Too unexpected an answer, I return the words as if I were giving them back (parrot).
“I told you before that his country had made Schwarzburg a military state. That's why we took our people with us and went to exile."
"... yes"
Looking at Ana-san's face, she was chewing her lips tightly.
"... a soul is something pure and worthless that has no value as an individual yet." I shed a lot of blood to get that soul... first of all, to usurp the nation. Then we started a war with a country on the other side of the world. No, to be precise, the Gerz instigated a new emperor to start a war.... and gained the soul of a fallen warrior. "
"Huh. So, the incomplete sage stone material...!"
"That's right... it's the soul of a fallen soldier." I was forced to help as an alchemist's assistant, so I've seen the stone of the wise one. Extremely small, but terribly, it was a red jewel like blood. ”
Then, once she had explained everything, the silence reigned between them again.
It was the leaf that stood beside me that broke it.
"Anastasia, why is it called incomplete?"
As if breaking the silence, Reef asked Ana.
"It's incomplete. And the knowledge that can be given. The power of the elixir made from that stone."
"... what is that?"
Elixir. It is said to be a panacea for the effects of immortality when consumed.
I felt like I wanted a new emperor.
... although I don't want it.
"That incomplete elixir has a long life." But I can't give you old age. "
I was surprised by the truth that Ana-san told me.
... what? Wait a minute? Just longevity...?
"Ana-san, you won't die, but... will you continue to grow old?"
When I asked in horror, Anna nodded one by one.
"Even I am incapacitated by this old body and I have pain."... that should be even worse. Still, they're stubborn about life. "
I was stunned by Ana-san's words. That's why I couldn't say anything.
... Anna knows that I am the love child of the Green Spirit King. And my master.
That's why I also told them that I had special abilities.
Then I think it would be better to ask a little more about it.
I thought so.
“Anna, actually, I've been lost in two of the three Elves on my material extraction journey.”
Huh?
Ana was not surprised by my confession, but rather responded with an interesting sensation.
"In one of them..." The mysterious vermin caused the world tree to wither away... and the rift that leads to the underworld where the soul sleeps underground has once led the soul astray. "
I didn't know what it meant.
But now I feel like it has something to do with Ana's series of things.
"The world tree.... the three holy trees that support the world in mythology, right?"
Yes.
"... there was a pest that would eat it." And now there's a rift into the underworld, hey.... "
Ana murmured with a face that said something was connected.
