Chapter 62-: How to Use Runes

(TL By GUST)

In a room on the second floor of Gordo's workshop.

Guided to a murky room with only tables and chairs, we each sat down in the right places.

Sefie sat in a chair and I was put on his lap and I couldn't see the table, so I popped on the table.

Wol and Laurel sit to the left and right of Sefie, and Elder Gordo sits facing Sefie.

On the table was a swinging magic sword and two magic bags that he had left for rune technology analysis.

"So, is it possible to turn off the runes?"

This time, we asked Elder Gordo to analyze it not only because we also want to use rune technology to strengthen our strength.

As long as the religion uses rune technology, it is to see if there is a way to counter it or prevent the runes from absorbing the surrounding magic elements and increasing the magical effect.

Of course, that has already been explained to Elder Gordo.

"Um, it's impossible"

As expected, Elder Gordo's answer was simple.

"It seems that the rune technology developed by the state religion has two major roles."

Elder Gordo quietly begins the explanation.

"One is a technique for expressing attributes and phenomena and expressing magical effects. This is activated without sucking magic elements from the surroundings if there is the magical power of the user or magical power supplied from magic stones. If you look at this, it's just a magic tool. It's difficult to interfere with it from the outside and invalidate it. "

That's what I expected.

So I'm not surprised and I'm not asking for that.

The threat of rune technology is to suck up magic elements from the surroundings and make them more effective than the original magic.

If this effect could be prevented, many of the weapons possessed by the religious nation should not be a threat, and I was wondering if that alone could be realized.

"The other is a technique that sucks up the surrounding magic elements and enhances the magic effect. As the sake spirit says, it will not work if there are no magic elements around, but in reality, there is no magic element. It's difficult to create a space. Isn't that impossible if the other party moves? "

"Is that so ..."

This is as expected, but it's a shame because I was expecting it.

"For the time being, I understand these functions to some extent, so I can duplicate them, but like the elves, the dwarves also tell me that the demon absorption technique is contraindicated, so I'm against using it."

Said Elder Gordo with a difficult face.

"Are you not using the magic absorption technique in the dwarven pot?"

"It's natural. If you use it, the damage will be bigger than cutting the forest. I use runes to secure the necessary heat, but I'll make up for it with my own magical power or magic stones."

Hmm, nods.

The fact that elves and dwarves are contraindicated means that the technology that absorbs demons and improves their effects seems to be dangerous.

I don't really realize how dangerous it is, but it's more damaging than cutting down a forest, so we can't use it.

"Well, we're not going to use the magic absorption technique."

"Yes. Yes."

"Then, is it possible to cut out only that part and reproduce the magic bag?"

I think rune technology is useful unless you use a magical absorption technique that damages the environment.

There is no way not to use even this to counter the religion.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

"Huh? No good?"

The old Gordo, who shakes his head in a stunned manner, is surprised that it is no good.

Is it something that cannot be ignored, or is it technically impossible even with their dwarves?

"Wait a minute"

Elder Gordo left his seat without answering any questions and went out of the room.

"... what's wrong?"

"Is there any problem after all?"

"What about?"

"Maybe Sefie had a snack."

We mysteriously looked at each other and tilted our heads.

And Sephi's words are a desire.

"--I made you wait."

Soon, Elder Gordo was back.

A mysterious, green-coloured object is held in his hand.

"Let's do this for Miss"

With that said, I present the object I'm holding to Sephi.

Of course, Sefie was happy because she was happy with whatever she could get.

"Okay !? I did it!"

"Ummm. Put this string on your shoulder."

Elder Gordo handed it to the girl who was obediently pleased with a good-looking face.

Upon receiving the young grass-coloured object, Sephi gets off the chair and hangs the string on his shoulder as he was told.

Then I knew what it was.

"Is it a shoulder pouch?"

I hung a string around my shoulder and a small pouch that looked just right for an accessory case hung around Sefie's waist.

"Oh! Princess, it's cute!"

"You look good, princess"

"Hmm!"

Sefie, who showed her a full turn on the spot, stretched her chest and made a doy face.

The part of the pouch has a shape that imitates a familiar existence, and the face part has eyes and mouth.

It seems that well-polished magic stones are attached to the eyes and other parts.

"Is it me?"

It was a young grass-coloured shoulder pouch that imitated the shape of my spirit body.

"Is this made by Old Gordo?"

"Well, isn't it pretty good?"

As the word says, it was a well-crafted item in every detail.

It's a cute work that I don't think was made by a very strong old man.

But what is this?

"Miss, you always carry that wooden sword, right?"

"Hmm? You mean Sefie's Misutorutin?"

Old Gordo refers to Mistilteinn, a wooden sword that Sephi frequently carries around and is still brought to him today and leaned against a chair.

"If you put it in the pouch, it's easy to carry."

That word really makes me think.

"Misutorutin, are you there?"

The reaction of Sefie who tilts his head is also natural.

The pouch is small and not very large enough to hold Mistilteinn.

"The eyes are buttons, so open them."

"Yes!"

Sefie snaps off the black-eyed button (like a snap-in button).

Then the part of the wide-brimmed cap popped open.

When I gently store Mistilteinn in it, it is swallowed like a magic trick.

"Wow! Everything went!"

Not only Sefie, but I, Wol, and Laurel were surprised at this.

It looks just like a cute pouch, but it's a magic bag-it's a magic pouch.

"Is it possible to reproduce it?"

It's an unbeatable praise.

Elder Gordo nodded with a smile on his face, and began to explain the magic pouch.

"I try not to use the surrounding magic elements, but to exert the effect with the magic stone of the eye part. The magic stone is black while it has magic power, but it becomes transparent as it decreases. If that happens, you'll need to replenish the magic stone with your own magic stone, or replace the magic stone. Well, if you're a young lady, you can afford to maintain it with your own magic stone, but if you do When you exchange it, you should bring it to me, right? "

"O.K. I understand!"

Sefie nodded happily.

Then Laurel, who heard the explanation, raises a question.

"What happens to the things inside when the magical power is completely gone? How much does it fit in?"

"When the magical power is exhausted, the magical effect will be cut off, and everything that was inside will pop out. If that happens, the pouch may be torn, so replenish the magical power early? , The number of runes to be engraved is reduced with the pouch, so it is considerably reduced due to that, and it is the volume of one large canopy bed. "

"It's still a good amount."

Laurel nodded, and Sefie, who was told to replenish the magical power as soon as possible, nodded.

"Skillful!"

Looking at the salute Sefie, I suddenly have a question.

"Hey, where are the runes carved on this pouch?"

It doesn't look like runes are engraved anywhere.

The surface of the magic bag is engraved with runes.

"The contents are made of leather and are carved on the surface of the pouch. The reason you can't see it from the outside is because the cloth is pasted on it. If it gets hurt, the procedure will stop. If you put a cloth on it, you can prevent it to some extent."

There seems to be a surprisingly reasonable reason.

In other words, to make a product that is more sophisticated than the magic bag made in Japan, there is no choice but to take off the hat of the dwarf's high technology.

I was impressed and nodded, and asked more questions.

"Can you reproduce the size of the bag?"

"Of course. However, the amount of magical power consumed from absorbing magical elements will increase, but that can't be helped by us?"

"I know that. And if it's magical power, it's enough to go outside and hunt monsters. "

"Sure, if you can hunt these monsters, you can make something that is practical enough."

The magic bag can be duplicated.

It's a useful tool, and I'm grateful for it.

"Then, what about the magic sword? Can you duplicate it?"

The magic sword used by the mob man also had considerable power.

I don't like the fact that fire is a plant to handle, but I can't say so if it's for strengthening my strength.

"Is this a magic sword? This is impossible."

However, Elder Gordo immediately turned into a difficult face and denied.

"This is a technique designed on the premise of absorbing magic elements. The power to absorb magic elements from the surroundings is as strong as that of a magic bag. If you try to operate it with your own magic power, ordinary guys will immediately The magical power is exhausted. In addition, even if there is a magic element absorption technique, the amount of magical power consumed is not stupid. It seems that it is made by limiting the people who handle it rather than a versatile magic sword. "

"Well, can't it be helped?"

Well, I don't think I'll force it.

After all, the purple flame used by the mob man seemed to have the property of being hard to extinguish and easy to spread.

In short, it's a flame that's likely to catch fire, and I don't know if it's because I'm a plant or if the flame itself has something I don't know yet, but I even feel a physiological dislike.

If you can't use it, you can't use it.

"Well, I learned a lot about the meaning of runes from the spirit of sake. I think I can build a new technique in the future, right?"

"seriously? It's a stone's throw

Old Gordes, or rather dwarves, are too good as engineers.

Well, it would be good to leave the technology development to them while making appropriate requests.

I'm looking forward to it.
