56 – Obsidian Research (2)
There are only 3 weeks left.
Until the day he was invited by the Dwarf United Kingdom to participate in the Iron Hammer exhibition.
Time was tight.
I have to somehow complete my entry ‘Return of Honor’ before the departure date, but I’m currently facing a problem.
It’s because they haven’t figured out how Black Yodo generates black mana, or how it works.
“Hmm… somehow I managed to mix positive emotions with mana.”
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any results.
Over the weekend, after immersing myself in research except for 4 hours of sleeping with Pix, I succeeded in combining the feelings of courage and bravery with mana, not the feelings of anger and hatred.
The first condition to become a holy sword was fulfilled.
The problem was that the core of Obsidian Mana Stone only accepts ‘Red Haze’.
The ‘golden haze’ that came from the feelings of courage and sacrifice was not even recognized at all.
‘Besides, I have to deal with the black magic.’
Also, Black Yodo still uses black magic as its main power.
It was a far cry from the Dwarven Artifacts of the past, which exuded brilliant holy power.
There was no way the Dwarves would welcome such a half-baked thing.
“Whoa… what the hell is wrong with it? I’ve put in all the hypotheses.”
getting more and more anxious
The deadline is getting closer, but the remodeling and research of the sword continues to stand still.
What the hell am I missing?
“You look like you’re worried?”
At that moment, someone’s voice pierced my ears.
It was Elena.
“… Master.”
“What’s the problem? If it’s related to magic, I’ll help you.”
Saying that, Elena joined me.
In response, I made a point about the problem at hand.
“Hmm… if that’s the case, I’ll have to look at the Core Power Magic Stone.”
Elena turned on her blue eyes while saying that.
A blue light seeping into her eyes.
Before long, she looked at the spell engraved on the mana stone, the core power, and raised the corner of her mouth and said.
“Ed, is this different from what you said?”
Is it different from what I said?
No way.
Obviously, I drew the symbol of this spell accurately to Elena and asked myself what kind of spell it was, and she replied that it was related to emotions.
But now, it’s a different technique.
“Whoops. It’s a very confusing expression. It’s worth it. If you don’t open your eyes, you won’t see the ‘overlapping’ spells.”
oh Was it like that
It seems that there is a difference between seeing with blue eyes on and just looking at it.
“Then what are the overlapping spells?”
“It looks like a spell related to memory. It has a powerful thought. It’s safe to say that this mental art is the main one. It’s because you’re controlling the emotional technique.”
Thought spells that control emotion spells.
A light bulb flashed in my head.
It was because he seemed to know what the memory of this demonic sword was.
‘It was because of the memory that I couldn’t accept other emotions. Because it has painful memories.’
memories and emotions.
These two factors are very closely related.
This is because when you recall a certain memory, it is necessarily accompanied by the corresponding emotion.
For example, when you recall the memory of kissing your ideal type.
We indirectly experience the touch and the stimulation that follows.
And that indirect experience secretes hormones and makes us feel emotions.
Just by recalling a memory, you feel an emotion.
‘The thoughts embedded in this sword only accept the feelings of hatred and anger. then·····.’
Memories that bring anger and hatred.
That memory was embedded in his thoughts, and he was controlling this sword.
In other words, if you remove that thought, you can return this demonic sword to its original state.
“Master”
“yes?”
It’s just that I won’t just get rid of this thought.
Because I know the TMI about this demonic sword very quickly.
I intend to separate the thoughts and preserve them as they are.
Only then will it be useful for the Iron Hammer exhibition.
“The Thought Spell and the Emotion Spell. Can you separate these two spells?”
“Well·····.”
At my question, Elena thought for a moment.
Then he nodded and replied.
“Well, it is possible. There will be intense resistance.”
“Resistance?”
“yes. This thought itself is the will of the sword. Black magic will try to kill me.”
“·····are you okay?”
“then. Who am I? You can press it with force.”
Elena’s confident expression.
Well, even if she’s a bit sloppy, an archmage is an archmage.
However, my order, which was requested in succession, would be a difficult mission even for her.
“Then, removing the thoughts without any damage and then making the memories into a video?”
“…”
Elena frowned.
She replied scratching her head.
“Uh… it works, but it will take some time. It’s also very difficult. If I had to compare it, it would be like counting the rice in a paper bag by moving it one by one with chopsticks. In the meantime, there’s also a strong wind blowing, so I have to count while blocking it. It is a very stressful job.”
In other words, it is possible, but I don’t want to do it.
It has ‘I don’t want to do that’ written on its face.
But from my point of view, I have to make it happen.
“Master! This is a disciple’s earnest request!”
I said that and grabbed Elena’s hand with both hands.
Her shoulders trembled, her cheeks flushed red.
“Why, why are you like this! I, Sue, have classes…?”
“Take care of the gap.”
“yes?”
“This is a serious matter. If you succeed in what I asked for, you can immediately resolve the diplomatic issue with the dwarves.”
“…”
Elena’s eyes begin to change at my words.
then she said
“Really?”
“Yes. Please replace classes with supplementary classes or homework, and focus on them for now.”
I don’t take Elena’s classes anyway.
Even if you replace it with a task, the blow is 0.
After a while, Elena, who had been organizing her thoughts for a while, answered.
“yes. If that’s the case, I can’t help it.”
In the end, Elena sighed and decided to listen to my request.
When I finally let go of her hand, she cleared her throat and glanced at me.
Both cheeks were still stained red.
“Hmm. then····.”
But that’s only for a moment.
Soon, she began to focus on the core mana stone of Obsidian.
Then, the core mana stone of the Obsidian rose to the surface.
In that state, Elena looked at the mana stone and spoke to me.
“Ed. I’ll be splitting my thoughts, so pass it on to my assistant professor. Give an appropriate reason, take care of this class, and hand out class materials and give them assignments.”
In the end, a class with an assignment ending.
I nodded and came out of the lab.
I am very sorry for the students who suddenly faced the ending of the assignment, but what can I do?
It doesn’t have to be me.
***
After giving the bomb to Elena’s assistant professor, returning to the lab was a mess.
The black magic power is rampaging in all directions, making a fuss.
“Oh, are you here?”
However, Elena’s expression was calm.
As if to soothe a child, he was working to separate the magic, suppressing the black magic with his own magic.
If you weren’t a great mage with a terrible amount of mana like her, this ignorant method would have been unimaginable.
“How long do you think it will take?”
“Well? Nine hours?”
·····Nine hours of this ignorant work.
It was okay to use mana for such a long time. Indeed, it was Elena who had a mana receptor that was different from normal wizards.
“Please suffer. After all, there is only Master.”
So, after saying thank you, I sat down.
Because there are many other things to study.
how much time had passed
While studying the computer’s sorting algorithm, Elena opened her mouth.
“Whoa! it’s over.”
Elena wiped the sweat from her forehead and put down the floating core mana stone.
As she said, the two spells that were tied together were separated.
The memory spell imbued with evil thoughts was separated from the other mana stones I brought.
“thank you for your effort. You have been through a lot.”
I said that and took out a cold drink from the refrigerator.
Soon after, Elena drank the drink I gave her, and set the glass down on the table with a refreshing expression.
Then he glanced at his watch and said.
“Still, it won’t take until nine hours? I finished it in 4 hours.”
“It’s because you’re Master.”
“Puhh. to float.”
She lifts the corner of her mouth as if she feels better when she lifts Elena, who has worked hard.
Now that they had succeeded in separating the memory spells, it was time to test whether the black yodo could accept other emotions as well.
After taking the randomly prepared ‘Potion of Courage’, I created a golden haze.
And I put my hand on the core mana stone of the Obsidian.
-Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
do.
started to absorb.
It functions as a sacred sword that was originally the original black yodo.
Elena said with a broad smile.
“congratulation. It worked.”
“Thanks to Master.”
We laughed hahahahahoho and congratulated ourselves on the achievement.
In the midst of the remaining 3 weeks of how to solve this problem, I solved all the problems in just one day.
Also, when experts in each field join forces, the synergy is considerable.
“Then, let’s check what separated thoughts are?”
Just because the work was over quickly, I didn’t intend to play like this.
If the memory of thoughts is what I think is correct, it is because the stage needs to be set up so that the memory can be effectively experienced.
“yes. I’m curious as to what memory caused this holy sword to become a demonic sword. Let’s play it.”
