Chapter 229: Chapter 105: The Use of the Sage’s Stone?

"Drip~"

As the blood dripped into the glazed glass tube, the originally colorless liquid inside immediately became colorful. The combination of blood-red and colorless turned into a rainbow of colors. This was undoubtedly a good sign...

Vera carefully placed this glazed glass tube to the side, next to the blood-red potion bottle... The rack here had a label that read [Ira]. This indicated that everything here was related to Ira.

Whether it was the anger potion that could actively induce Ira into a Mutated State, or the colorful potion that heavily relied on Ira’s blood, they were all closely connected to Ira.

Ira’s body was like a treasure trove, truly worth exploring.

"The next step would be to find a way to add a large amount of souls and then extract the crystals... Hmm, at this point, I’m completely clueless. If only Gurela were here."

As Vera mumbled to herself with a look of regret, she suddenly thought... *If Gurela were here, seeing me this close to Ira, I’d probably be turned into a potion.*

It was quite simple for an alchemist to make someone disappear without a trace.

"The Sage’s Stone? Do you have someone you wish to resurrect?"

"..."

"Aahhhh!!!!"

Vera screamed in shock, taking two steps back away from Ira, who was beside her. Her pupils constricted as she complained, "Ira, why are you always like this? Do you know how scary you are?!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry."

Having just arrived here using his Void Travel ability, Ira gave a rather insincere apology and said, "But now I usually observe my landing spot carefully. If someone is bathing or doing something else, I won’t travel directly into the room."

At first glance, it seemed polite enough, but Vera sharply noticed something amiss...

"So, you observe carefully. Doesn’t that mean you see the person bathing?"

"..."

Ira fell silent for a moment in response to Vera’s question, then turned his head and sighed. "So, turns out you requested my blood to research the Sage’s Stone?"

"You saw everything, didn’t you? You saw everything! That’s why you’re deliberately changing the subject!"

Vera loudly complained... This indicated she wasn’t particularly keen on discussing the Sage’s Stone, but given the circumstances, Ira wouldn’t likely let it go without clarification.

"So, I originally thought you needed my blood to study something related to eternal life, but it turns out you want to create the Sage’s Stone? That’s not your area of expertise... Is there someone you can’t let go of? Your lover?"

As Ira said this, Vera decisively shook her head, replying, "Ah, no way, no way. I haven’t even touched a man’s hand. Hmm... Well... Ah! Ira, do you know the functions of the Sage’s Stone? Do you know?"

Ira might not necessarily know, but he was sure of one thing... *Vera was making it up on the spot during her pondering just now.*

"I know... It can resurrect the dead, make crops flourish, enhance a person’s Mana Adaptability, and help people heal quickly... Right?"

Ira tried to say as much as he knew about this mythical item. Most of his information came from books because, historically, only the theocratic country full of alchemists ever possessed the Sage’s Stone.

The records themselves weren’t extensive...

"Well, that’s roughly correct, but there’s another crucial function."

Vera said this, adopting a serious demeanor, and continued, "The Sage’s Stone is the best known artificial product for Mana storage, second only to the extremely rare Mana Crystal (Mana Coin) used as currency in higher planes."

"You see, you’ve been researching ways for non-magic users to harness special powers, so I thought I’d make the Sage’s Stone to help you... Right? It must be like that."

Vera nodded as she spoke, as if moved by her own reasoning.

However, such a response had a significant flaw.

Ira stared at Vera without changing his expression, watching until she broke into a cold sweat, then sighed and ruffled her head, saying, "Well, thank you so much... Even though I hadn’t even started that research when you began making it."

"..."

Oh, what a dilemma!

"Hahaha... Well... actually, it’s not that I can’t say. It’s just a bit funny... um, well..."

Having been caught, Vera laughed awkwardly. Her intention indeed wasn’t to resurrect any ’lover.’ Heaven and Earth could bear witness... Her interaction with men was mostly, and at best, getting beaten... beaten by her mentor, by her father, by her brother, and by Ira.

She often got hit.

"Whatever, I’m not interested anyway."

Ira said, leaving the room and gesturing for Vera to follow. He added, "It’s probably still about survival, right? Your obsession with ’living’ is truly extreme... Just don’t use innocent civilians’ souls for making the Sage’s Stone."

As Ira advised, he looked at Vera to make sure she understood before turning his head away again... He really worried that Vera might enact a nationwide transmutation, turning an entire country’s population into a potion.

If that happened, Vera would truly have no choice but to die.

"No, no... haha, it’s not that I must stay alive~"

Completely seen through by Ira, Vera said with a cheerful laugh, her eyes gleaming with an intense determination. She continued, "I just absolutely don’t want to die... That’s all."

And indeed, to a certain extent, a Witch Demon couldn’t be considered as *truly ’alive.’*

"By the way, Ira, what did you bring me here for?"

Vera asked as she followed Ira leisurely.

"You don’t see a problem with just following me without knowing?"

Ira responded, pointing underground where the mechanical bodies were displayed, and said, "Topps’s research has progressed. He can now stably release the ignition technique... Let’s go see if there are any areas needing improvement."

No way!

Vera’s eyes widened. She knew that by ’stable release of the ignition technique,’ Ira didn’t mean chanting and communicating with the source to cast spells in the normal way but bypassing this process entirely for... automated spells.

"But I don’t understand any of his work..."

Vera said, not feeling she could be of any help.

"You still don’t get it... The main body for casting spells is the magic wand. Whether it’s us or the wand casting spells, there’s no fundamental difference, only the chanting differs."

Ira said, tracing a spell model in the air, but without chanting, he couldn’t inject magic power into it. He added, "Topps doesn’t know how to construct the best spell model because his talent is really poor."

A mediocre person, using his own realization, shattered the accumulations of countless geniuses... *Is this a protagonist’s setup or what?*
