Chapter 100 – Making Gold (4)
“What?”
Raize laughed at his fellow mage’s stupid question. It was such an odd question.
“Um, so…… What do you think would happen if a world came where anyone could use magic?”
“What an absurd sound…….”
It was unimaginable. Anyone can use magic? If that was possible, there would be no reason for the Mage Tower to trouble her because she could n’t find her apprentice her, and for her to study while struggling through her hardships here and now.
“There’s no way that’s possible.”
“But, people still use scrolls to use magic? Doesn’t that also mean that anyone can use magic?”
“I don’t say that they use magic after seeing them just copying like parrots without knowing how they work. That’s scrolling.”
“Anyway, maybe we’ll have a tool that allows anyone to become a wizard, like a scroll?”
“How would you feel if something like that came out?”
“Yes.”
Rize thought for a moment. In a world where anyone can use magic, just thinking about it is terrifying.
Magic was traditionally the exclusive property of wizards, and the fact that wizards sold magic tools and scrolls was a gift to ordinary people who had no access to magic.
If a world comes where anyone can get it, the world will fall into great chaos. It shouldn’t have happened.
“If you make something like that.”
“If you make it?”
“Perhaps all wizards will try to kill you?”
Lajeu answered that, and he urged Ka Huu to do some research instead of thinking about it.
* * *
“…… So this will replace all wizards?”
“Yep! That’s right!”
Noah, who had washed her brain by drinking stimulants and came back neatly redecorated, put down the tool I had invented and started to explain.
Her expression as she explained the tools I made was so lively that Dojin could n’t bear to tell her to stop and go to sleep.
“I got a hint from Deokgu’s words! Do something ‘replace’ This is a tool that replaces the wizard!”
“Uh……How does the principle work?”
“Ah, let me tell you again. So, by decomposing all circuits of the magic circle into 0s and 1s…… In such a way that the magic circle is implemented every time the engine is started…… According to the Gold Pillsberg Principle…….”
There were many theories and formulas that Dojin, a high school graduate in arts and sports, could not bear to understand. As she listened to the explanation, she felt her head her go blank the more she listened.
At first glance, the writings I saw on the Internet are passing by.
– Medieval people are not stupid. At least more than you
Do-jin reflected on how she had thought of them as uncivilized medieval people in a fantasy world. I don’t understand a single theory they set up, but I wonder if it wasn’t me who was really uncivilized.
In the end, she did n’t understand a single detail of her theory of her, so Do-jin asked her.
“Tell me in an easy way.”
“Well…… It would be faster to write it myself than to say it in words!”
Noah said so and put her staff in Dojin’s hand. The wand was heavier than it appeared, which meant the weight of the wand was high, which meant that it was as pure gold as it seemed.
“…… Could this be gold?”
“Yes! Gold is the best value for money!”
“That, is it?”
Do-jin, who was about to scold him for why he used something so expensive, kept his mouth shut when he was told that gold was the most cost-effective.
Come to think of it, this world was a fantasy world full of metals more expensive than gold. Mithril, Orichalcon, rare metals that Dojin has never heard of…….
Dojin silently turned his staff around. How he made it, one center of gravity was perfect. It may be soft, but it was enough to be used as a stick.
Do-jin points his staff at a tree in the yard, and he yells like Noah did earlier.
“Bread.”
But nothing happened. When Dojin looked at Noah with an expression as if asking what this was, Noah smiled and gave detailed instructions on how to use it.
“It is the image that matters!”
“Image?”
“Yes! With the feeling of thinking of an image you want and then shooting it.”
“Image…….”
If it shoots, then there is nothing to say. The most famous thing in Do-jin’s world was the gun.
Dojin recalled his gun his and put strength into his hand his holding his cane. Next, Quaang-! Something jumped out of the tip of the wand with a huge vibration.
Wow-!
“Kyaaak!?”
Noah covered his ears at the belated sonic boom. Surprised Noah looked at the tree.
A tree struck by something was bent and fell.
“Do, Mr. Dojin? What were you imagining…?”
“Gun… No, I didn’t know you could count like this.”
Did you say image is important? Do-jin, who was a high school student, couldn’t have actually seen a gun, and what came to mind was a scene in a movie or drama where all buildings and cars exploded in one shot.
Thanks to this, an outstanding power that is incomparable to real firearms has been realized.
Do-jin held out his cane, thinking of a slightly weaker firearm this time, so powerful enough to pierce a hole in a person’s body.
However, with a push——the staff stopped working.
“…… Is this broken?”
“Yes? Ah—it seems that the mana has run out.”
“Magic power?”
“Yes. You can change the magic stone. Are you running behind it?”
Certainly, the magic stone at the tip of the staff had exhausted its magic and was turning to ashes.
“This… So, just having enough magic power is enough, right?”
“Yes? Yes, in theory it is, but…… It’s safer to have magic stones, so don’t think strangely… Do, Mr. Dojin!?”
Magic stones were widely available in the mansion’s warehouse, but it was annoying to go there, and Do-jin, who was curious about whether it could be used without magic stones, changed the grip of the cane as it was.
He holds the middle of the staff with one hand and the tip of the staff with the other. A grip like holding a spear. Dojin was satisfied with the posture he liked very much and remembered the scene he wanted.
What he imagines is a powerful attack that could even defeat the wolf king, the only one he couldn’t overcome.
What it could be, the first thing that came to mind was a nuclear explosion, but that was too much. There was a high possibility that even Dojin himself would be swept away.
So, a little weaker than that—the next thing Do-jin thought of was a beam attack that seemed like something out of a giant robot cartoon.
A beam attack that fires intense beams from the weapon in your hand. The one in my hand was just that type of tool.
When Do-jin had a clear imagination and had the will to exhale him, the staff that grasped that will immediately began to calculate the corresponding magic.
Magic is a general term for all things that eventually change the world and cause the phenomenon you want. At most, the wand didn’t use much computation to radiate heat rays.
In an instant, the operation corresponding to the chanting ended, and an intense beam of heat shot out from the tip of the staff.
Do-jin was frightened by the magic that began to leak like poison, and was shocked at its power.
Shoot aaaaa!
Powerful beams of heat were burning the walls. Surprised, Do-jin tried to stop it, but he did not learn how to stop.
“Do, Mr. Dojin! Sky! To the sky at once!”
“Uh, uh!”
Do-jin, who heard Noah’s words, raised his staff up without realizing it. As a result, all the buildings in its path were scorched little by little, and then a huge pillar of fire spewed out brilliantly inside the mansion.
“How do you turn this off!?”
“Just put it down!”
At that, Do-jin stuck his cane into the ground. Fortunately, the staff did not absorb the magic of the planet and shoot more powerful magic, and the fire pillar disappeared as it was.
However.
“…… How do you do that?”
Dojin is next door, next door, and even the next door next door.
He said, pointing to countless scorched roofs.
Noah wiggled his fingers with a miserable expression, then opened his mouth.
“Pretend you don’t know.”
“…… Is that so?”
“Because there are no wizards in the mansion…… Nobody will know if we keep our mouths shut!”
“I guess…… ?”
In the end, Dojin decided to kiss Noah and her. If only the two of them kept their mouths shut, they wouldn’t know.
In fact, he testified to the guard who came in the afternoon that he did not know what was going on, and it did not happen that Dojin’s mansion without a wizard raised suspicion.
Eventually, a ghost story emerged in the city.
The dragon is back!
Such a joke.
* * *
Intelligence Artifact.
It was decided to give the tool Noah made such a name.
“It’s a magic tool that thinks and calculates on its own!”
Dojin worried about her and asked again.
“Can I not announce this?”
“Announcement? Well… It’s okay!”
“Really?”
“…… But if I announce this, the wizards will try to kill me?”
“I hope so…….”
Even as Dojin said that, she thought unconsciously that she could do that. Traditionally, vested interests are bound to fight to protect their rights, and a group called wizards were a group that would overthrow even the country in order to protect their magic.
Noah said don’t worry and she laughed haha.
“In the first place, I also improvised this, so I don’t even remember how I made it.”
The Intelligence Artifact was such a masterpiece that even she herself had no idea how to make it, but at the same time, it was a great mystery.
At that time, it was like being possessed by God. She could feel the splendid melody running in her head, and she just played it.
“Then this… Can I really have it?”
“Yes, of course. Oh, you’re not cutting me just because you can’t make this again, right? Mr. Dojin?”
“I hope so.”
After hearing what Dojin said, Noah smiled and replied that he would really go to bed now. Even with the help of stimulants she has already been awake for far too long.
She couldn’t remember how many hours she had been awake already. 200 hours? 300 hours? It’s definitely over 100 hours.
“Haaaaa…… Then I’ll go to bed… Mr. Dojin, do your best today too…….”
“Uh, yes.”
After escorting Noah to her room her, Dojin stopped by her warehouse her and put her magic stone behind her wand her. After seeing the magic stone in action, Do-jin realized that it was very inconvenient to carry around with her staff.
‘Can’t it be smaller? Like a necklace….’
And at that moment, the cane grasped Dojin’s will and immediately began to shrink.
Atoms and electrons began to clump tightly together. They were put together to make one necklace.
Dojin laughed at the cane that suddenly became a necklace. This was such a difficult task that the magic stone I had just inserted turned into ashes.
“Yes, yes, you are good.”
Do-jin, who put a new magic stone in her necklace and hung it around her neck her, lost her balance and stumbled. Come to think of it, this was 1.5 meters of solid gold. The weight was no joke.
“… Um, are you okay?”
After moving a few times, Do-jin adapted to the weight and immediately packed her equipment and headed to the dungeon with Eun-ha.
In front of the dungeon, Rize and Orion, who had already gathered, welcomed the two.
“…… A necklace you haven’t seen before? What is that?”
“Oh, this? Just an accessory…”
“Okay?”
Raize showed some interest, but he moved on without much question. Phew, Dojin sighed lightly.
Her sorceress shouldn’t have found out about this.
“But isn’t that a magic stone?”
“Uh, huh?”
“Why is the magic stone stuck in the necklace?”
