Chapter 299: The Price of the Crown, and the Activation

「Oh light come forth, Equal Solace, Area Heal」(Touya)

I secretly place all of the wounded people in the black ic After all, I really don’t want to stand out Nevertheless, it ht be already too late for that now

There aren’t as ed to hold Viola back? However, that probably is only true for this floor

Yuri seems to have already confirmed it, but the picture of hell itself has apparently been drawn on the upper floor

I particularly don’t mind it if I catch anyone’s attention, but it’s bad for Nia, Rouge, and Yuri of the “Red Cats” to stand out Therefore, we decide to return to their hideout using “Gate”, since I’ve already done what I’m supposed to do and have more no reasons to stay here any further

After we arrive at their hideout, I drink the tea Yuri served us in the tent of the fortress and finally feel at ease

「At any rate…What an outrageous goleh I heard about Viola’s recovery abilities fro it in action was still kinda unexpected I have no doubts that Viola’s recovery skill is about the sa froh I’ve bisected it horizontally, being able to recover from that as well is… The speed of its recovery is at a level wherein it could no longer be called a regular recovery anymore… It’s almost like an instant resuscitation from the moment it’s invoked

「Is that the ability of the “Crown” series…」(Touya)

Hearing e by her side

「…A ”Crown” golem possess an incredible power, but in turn, the contractor is forced to shoulder a huge risk ~you see Do you think that “i any sort of price?」(Nia)

「Price?」(Touya)

「Rouge, for exay at the cost of its contractor’s blood The rows They say there’s nothing in this world that it can’t break if someone fully throay his life into it This is how the previous leader of the “Red Cats” — how my father — died」(Nia)

Blood is the compensation!? And you said that he died… Did he offer all of his blood to Rouge!?

For some reason, preserved blood is said to be completely ineffective, and the blood that should be offered is the fresh blood of the contractor I heard that a human will die if that person loses ⅓ or o over that li the purple crown is……」(Touya)

「I’m not sure about the validity of this information… but I’ve heard that the contractor of Viola loses his or her sanity They go crazier and crazier as time pass by until Viola finally severs the lifeline of its contractor once they couldn’t understand anything at all It’s said that “Only the Purple Crown can kill the Purple Contractor”, which is soh… In fact, it’s rumored that Viola killed each and every one of its previous contractors, no exceptions This is what the compensation for immortality is like」(Nia)

In that case… are those crazy actions and strange words the side effects of being contracted to that “Crown”? Nevertheless, her sense of individuality is still there though…

「Fundamentally, it’s probably the purple contractors who have the shortest lifespan The other contractors of the “Crown” series and I don’t have to worry about dying if we are careful, but the purple contractors have certain death waiting ahead for the that immortality I’ve initially suspected that she’s undead, and it’s a pretty close guess Isn’t she so corpse?

The contractor’s er tell who they are It’s no different from hell wherein somy the search function of h, is she possessing sooleic, so it’s likely possible

The “Crown” series is souess Don’t tell olems that I’ve purchased also require a compensation similar to the “Crown” series?

「The Etoile series doesn’t have a de compensation, so don’t you worry The “Crowns” are just too much of an exception They say that the Croere created by a gole by the nadom, but they also say he was fairly out of his e Déjà Vu Is there soeniuses happen to be oddballs? The professor of our household is a regrettable existence for anything aside researching…

C’mon, she even installed a hidden ca like an old arly Naturally, she was punished with by getting hit on the head though

For now, I bring out the three “Etoile” series fro… Or perhaps I should say, soe” I’m sure of this because I’ve tried it with the chibi-robots before As such, storing the three “Etoiles” inside h conversely, I’ll be troubled if Nia’s group doesn’t teach me the method to start the three “Etoiles”

I take out the “Etoile” furnished with clear red parts from the case Its size is similar to a child Doesn’t it look like she’s even shorter than Rouge?

The golem has the forirl The basic color is white Aside fro ears, aa e charm in it It’s not like her face is absolutely smooth After all, the shape of its face is similar to humans

「As I suspected It does look humanoid, doesn’t it?」(Yuri)

Yuri oleoleolem that’s not suitable for coent, it’s also said they were probably created with that appearance inor watching over theolee or that Viola due to the for clad in armor even if all of the them with the “Babylon” series from our household Every ti to myself “In ay?”

「And, how do you activate them?」(Touya)

「Place your hand around the chest area and say “Open” while pouring in a little bit of ic power」(Nia)

I don’t really understand it, but I still try doing as she has said

「Open」(Touya)

I hear a s out while the chest part is opening up Strange mechanism fills the interior of the chest There’s even a transparent glass-like container as big as a softball and a dice-shaped cube floating inside and eoleolelass-like container, they easily pass through it What’s that feeling? It’s like touching a lu theh I’ve taken out the transparent emerald crystal cube that’s about 4 centiets stuck toas this G cube reoleh After all, those are stored in the “Q Crystal” inside the head」(Nia)

Apparently, the “Q” crystal being the brain, the “G” cube being the heart, and the body created by the ancient kingdoolem

Conversely, it’s likewise possible to rebuild a unit that can inherit the oleraded version in coolem has been inoperable for several hundred years, the acies have no rettable

「And, what should I do with this?」(Touya)

「To register as its master, this G-Cube needs to take in the infor to be its master Any part of the body is fine — be it a hair strand or a nail With that, the registration will be cos, I let it touch the G-cube The strand sistration ends here, right?

Returning the G-Cube back to its original container, I then close the ar it to “lock” in place

By the hen trying to steal a goles to soistration Moreover, it’s also necessary to co it a very troubleso itsits memory erased with all of its power

Of course, those actions are illegal by nature and is punishable in turn since golems are personal possessions It appears there are soolein to hear a quiet running sound fro, a faint light begins to emit from its clear red parts However, that’s only for a oes out soon

「It really isn’t starting up Normally, it should have started up by now」(Nia)

「So, is it broken like what the storekeeper has said?」(Yuri)

Hhhh, what’s this feeling that I’? It feels as if this is an old broken electrical appliance Could this be due to a loose connection? Though it probably won’t be fixed with just so

Should I exa analyze oleole behind what most parts are for

However, I could understand the flow of ic that flows fro the Q-crystal inside the head It stops soe be caused by so that, in comparison, is sih it would be extremely terrible if the blood vessels in the neck were to be blocked

I walk around the “Etoile” golem and examine its neck There I notice a red clear cubical part about 1 centi it, but there’s no reaction In the first place, it doesn’t look like a switch Once I again try to validate this part with “analyze” though, I notice a somewhat small barrier stretched underneath, which seeic power

Is this part acting as a safety device? Under nor like a startup key which disables this safetyabout it in that case

「Cracking」(Touya)

I interchange the structure of only the tip section The no attribute ” cuts into the startup formula and cos Though it’s iolee a sets erased, and the flow of ins eic power reach the Q-crystal?
