"I have heard, that I have, Mister Alphonse. Something interesting is going on."

"Galius. You're using [Poison Disable], aren't you?　It's good to be excited, but it's bad for you if you don't use it regularly."

Oh, yes, that's right. It's all right, that it is. So, I would like to actually see this "Lassen's cauldron of hellfire", that I would like to see, that I would like to see?

"Yes, sir. Follow me and I'll show you around."

　A few more days have passed since the fresh-blooded Norns recovered the flaming ore.

　We had been in contact with the New Barka Town and others, and Galius, who had heard about the situation, immediately arrived at the scene.

　He seemed to be very interested in this place.

　He suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and started to talk to me like he was going to shout something.

　For the time being, I tried to calm him down and took Galius to [Lassen's cauldron of fire].

"Oh, really? This place is completely surrounded by walls, isn't it?　There are only a limited number of places you can go inside."

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

"Well, yeah. The cauldron can't seem to extinguish the fire inside when the lid's on. That's why they put a wall around it to keep people out.

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

"This is because of the flame ore that burns in response to magic power. Normally flames are extinguished when completely sealed up, that they are not, are they?

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

"Apparently. Maybe it's different from normal fire when it reacts to magic power and produces flames. I don't know, but I've heard that flames can be produced even in a place like space where there is no air.

"The universe, that is?　Where is it?"

"The region of the moon in the sky, I guess. To be honest, I don't really know what it is, but anyway, it is said that the flame ore burns in situations where it would not normally burn.

　He explains while showing Garius around.

　The site where this "Lassen's Hellfire Cauldron" was located was originally a place where a river was being replaced.

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

　And the land itself was sold at a low price to pay off the debt from the previous "Rasen's Crash", and was purchased by Ai.

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

　Therefore, this place is completely private property.

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

　Even if there are people who have lived nearby for generations, this land belongs to Ai, and what Ai gets from this land also belongs to Ai.

　Therefore, the Rasen's Hellfire Cauldron, where the precious flame ore was obtained, was to be strictly controlled.

　The current situation will be explained in more detail in the land surrounded by walls and manned by security guards.

　I also told him about the strange properties of the flame ore.

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

　Garius is a craftsman who can make all kinds of things, and is therefore also familiar with fire.

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

　He raised the question that fire would normally disappear once the air is cut off, but this is not the case with the flame ore.

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

　It is not the case with the flame ore. It is only a reaction to magic power that produces flames.

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

　Hearing this, he became even more curious.

"So, how do you plan to use this cauldron of flame, that you do, Mr. Alphonse?

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

Hmm?　How are you going to use it? I'm going to keep it under control and get as much flame ore as I can in the future, right?"

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

Is that all there is to it, that it is?

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

"What do you mean that's all? Isn't it enough that we can get flame ore?"

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

"What are you talking about, that you are, Mister Alphonse? Look at this land, that you should. Who gave that fiery pit the name of the Hellfire Cauldron? There is a fire there that never goes out, that it is always burning at a very high temperature.　Are you going to leave that great firepower unused, that you are?"

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

"......E, don't tell me that Galius is thinking of blacksmithing with the flames coming out of that ground?"

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

"Of course, that I do. It takes a lot of charcoal to light a fire in a furnace, that it does. If the charcoal is not needed and the flame is available, it would be a waste not to use it, that it would be. I think that we should consider how to use the flame of the furnace itself, that we should.

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

　I see.

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

　Perhaps you are right.

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

　Since I knew that I could get the rare flame ore, I had not been paying much attention to the flame cauldron itself.

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

　However, it may be true that a place that keeps burning without fuel is hard to find.

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

　I was not sure if the vertical hole that Lassen dug under the cauldron could be a dragon's vein or not.

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

　Dragon veins, or also called "earth veins".

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

　It could be like a path for the flow of magical power in the land.

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

　There is a physical flow of magic between lands.

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

　This information must have been confirmed by Brother Ars.

　The transfer stones that exist in a certain labyrinth can move instantly by using magic power if they are placed at a distance from each other if they are magically connected to each other.

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

　If the labyrinth is filled with magic power by the labyrinth nucleus, the transfer stones can move with less magic power consumption, but even with the [road construction] made by Ars, the earth veins are connected and it is possible to move to the transfer stones at a distance.

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

　However, it seems that without using magic that interferes with the land, such as [laying a road], the land veins are not considered to be connected, and thus, it is not possible to move.

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

　In short, what I am trying to say is that when magic or sorcery that interferes with the earth is used, an earth vein or a dragon vein that did not exist before may be created.

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

　And it is possible that Lassen, who has the same kind of magical properties as Ars, was able to do so.

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

　It is possible that the vertical hole dug to mine oil has become a special place that sucks up the magic power of the earth and reacts with the flaming ore along the way to produce flames.

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

　In other words, even if we take out all the flame ores mined here and put them in other places, we will not be able to obtain an unquenchable flame.

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

　If this is the case, then we should probably take into account the opinion of Galius that we should utilize this land itself while taking the flame ore little by little using the norns.

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

　It's like a labyrinth of vertical holes.

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

　That's the impression I got when I saw [Lassen's Hellfire Gate], which spews out unquenchable flames and fills the surrounding area with poison.
