"So you're saying ......, the magic stone found inside Master Carlos' body was not functioning as a nucleus?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That would be true. If that were the case, it would not be surprising that Carlos would start moving like an immortal when he died. But it didn't happen that way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What, so you're saying I was wrong about the nucleus being inside the body after all?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We don't know that yet. Maybe the head of a larger noble family might have a magic stone as a nucleus in his body. We won't know until we actually examine it, will we?

"No, it seems to me that such a thing has been handed down from generation to generation in the great noble families. But if that's the case, it doesn't seem to make much sense to experiment on human bodies by implanting magic stones in them.

"......But that is not quite so, my comrade. The ones implanted with the magic stone have undergone slight changes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Change?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Actually, when I took out the magic stone from inside my body afterwards, I found that its color had changed. It was a darker blue than when it was implanted.

"Does that mean that the magic stone has absorbed magic power? You really did some crazy experiments! Did you get the consent of the test subjects for this experiment?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then do the subjects know about the experiment? Then do the subjects know about the experiment?

"No, the explanation only said that the abdomen would be cut open for examination and reopened after a certain period of time. He must not have realized that a magic stone was in his body. I might have felt some discomfort, though.

　I don't think you can call that consent anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is quite malicious to the extent that the information is withheld completely intentionally.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I'll make sure to mention that to Meme later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fact that the results of this experiment were more important than the fact that the results of this experiment were found was more important.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The meme said that people who had a magic stone implanted in their bodies had, without exception, a darker color of the stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that the magic stone has absorbed magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, that in itself is not so strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In Barka, magic stones are usually used by replenishing the remaining magic power by means of "magic injection" and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if the magic stone taken into the body naturally absorbed the person's magic power without the use of spells, I thought it was just a matter of whether such a thing could happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, memes seem to be different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because, besides the color of the magic stone, Meme noticed that there were other changes in the subjects.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is, the amount of magic power leaking out of their bodies seemed to decrease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many people live their lives by constantly creating magic inside their bodies and letting it leak out of them like steam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is true for ordinary people and knights alike.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unless they use a method to block the magic power leaking out of their bodies, such as the [meditation] spell I created, they are in a state of leaking magic power unconsciously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the subjects in this experiment showed a decrease in the amount of magic power leaking out of their bodies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the magic power produced inside the body may have been absorbed by the magic stone before leaking out of the body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is what Mihm hypothesized.

"Well, that could be the case. But is it really something to worry about?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, my comrade. Don't you realize how much this means to me?　Then I dare to ask such a comrade. Could you define your personal sphere?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes?　Domain?　What are you talking about, Meme? What about the magic stone?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just answer the question. Where do you identify your body from?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you mean from where to where in my body? Well, everything from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, from a single hair to a drop of blood, is part of my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, what if a magic stone is implanted in his body?　Would you say it is part of your body?　Or can you say that the magic stored in that magic stone is yours?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Hey, are you saying that the magic in the magic stone in a person's body is recognized as the total amount of magic in that person?　That would mean that the more you accumulate in the magic stone, the more it has the effect of increasing the total amount of ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You are right, my comrade, you are very quick to understand. That's what I was thinking too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Seriously. So what happens if we use it on the knights instead of the general public?　If a person who can use [Wall Building] but cannot use [Wall of Atmos] is buried with a magical stone and stores magical power in the magical stone inside his body, will he be able to use [Wall of Atmos]?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know. It is becoming an interesting study for my comrades, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's a study I'm interested in, though. No, it's a curious study, but if it were, I'd be in a lot of trouble. We should ban the sale of magic stones and keep this information secret or we'll be in trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Oh, I see. As I recall, the magic stones are handled in bulk and sold to the Reinsatz family as well. But I'm sure they'll be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay with what?　When the Reinzatz family finds out about this, they will surely imitate us. The largest and most powerful noble family will be outflanked. It would be a big problem for our defense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry about that. This experiment was both a success and a failure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Failure?　What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The magic stone didn't settle. That's strange. After the surgery, I left it without reopening it, and before I knew it, it was dissolving and getting smaller and smaller inside my body, and eventually it was gone. As a result, the total amount of magic power that increased will be restored when the magic stone is gone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　What the hell is that? That's what you get for wasting your money. It's not worth it after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you talking about? Failure is the mother of success. This experiment ultimately provided me with valuable information. That alone is worth something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But if it's going to disappear in the end, it's information that can't be used very effectively. d*mn, I feel like I'm missing out on a little excitement."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Have you forgotten?　In the experiment, it is true that the magic stone placed in the body disappears after a certain period of time. However, there are definitely magic stones that have remained in the body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Well . I remember there was a magic stone left in Master Carlos's body. No, but that's not the same as an embedded magic stone. Or rather, was it really a magic stone in the first place?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mm. I guess that's what we should focus on. From what I have confirmed, it is definitely a magic stone that contains magic power. However, I cannot say whether it is the same as the magic stone produced by the knight of Barca. That is why I wanted you to see it. The magic stone of Mr. Carlos.

　With these words, Mihm took out a box.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the lid of the box is opened, the inside is filled with a soft-looking cloth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the cloth was carefully removed, it came out from inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a blue stone that looked round and slightly drop-shaped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if such a thing had been inside Carlos' body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at it more closely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The blue stone was indeed filled with magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And a lot of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I was a little concerned about the amount of magic contained in it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed to me that the amount of magic power was too much for a stone the size of a thumb.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other magic stones I saw belonged only to the Immortal Bone Dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I succeeded in making a magic stone from the immortal bone dragon's magic stone by [memory storage].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the magic stone I made had an upper limit to the amount of magic power depending on its size.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you want to put more magic power into the stone, you need to increase the size of the stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the way, if you use the spell of "Create Magic Stone", which the knights of Barca can use, you will get crystals that you can wrap in the palm of your hand, but all of them are of the same size.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only way to make a magic stone larger is for me to create it by manipulating magic power without using a spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, my magic stone contains a lot of magic power that cannot be contained in this thumb-sized stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, there is a high possibility that it is a little different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I call out to the meme, then reach out my hand to the magic stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I mumble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　"Memory storage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I succeeded in memorizing in my brain the exact location of the magic stone that existed in Carlos' body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... what should I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm angry at the meme, but I'm very curious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I bury this magic stone in my body, will it be lost in the same way or will it remain?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was a little worried, but maybe the conclusion was already decided from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If there is a problem, then so be it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's just say that memes did it on their own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I became involved in Mihm's human experiment as an accomplice in the name of collaboration.
