Episode 92 – Devour the Free Mana (2/2)
“Good Now let’s talk about how you’re going to fool everyone into thinking it is an actuallike a crafty oldartifacts are divine artifacts, and therefore, really precious, no one wants to openly waltz around and show the so Don’t even admit that you have it to people other than your close family In fact, it isn’t likely that anyone would openly ask you about it anyway nobles have an unspoken rule to not inquire about divine artifacts of other nobles because divine artifacts are considered as fa the dummy, you too, should be discreet about it If you are not subtle about it, that would be strange, and we don’t want people to think there is anything strange about your ability to use pure ht hand on top of the table “You should develop a habit to constantly channelartifact usually train themselves to subconsciously direct all their mana towards their artifact so they could purify it as soon as it leaves their soul That way, the mana inside their aura would always be completely pure, and they could use it instantly in the moment of need
Unlike them, you don’t need to worry yourself about which particles of mana are purified and which are not, you should just put up a show and roll your ht, I get it I’ve been acting for 12 years, this won’t pose a probleain “Let’s talk about et the chance to respond before Kiel continued: “You say that no one will be able to tell the real function of the ring What is the real function?”
Elaru grinned, her eyes glittered mischievously “Activate it, and you’ll find out”
Before she even finished her sentence, she transer spell
For the purpose of conserving power,reality For exa artifact to wasteit One of the simplest ways to implement mana conservation was to make the artifact activate only in certain conditions, such as by perforer spell in its vicinity
“Is it safe for me to activate it?” Kiel asked with narrowed eyes He didn’t knohat the ring would do once activated For all he knew, the ring could let out a light bea Or perhaps it would turn his hair pink The thought gave him shi+vers
Elaru rolled her eyes “You can activate it without worry Nothing bad will happen”
Upon receiving her confirer spell in the proxier spell inside the artifact’s monitored area Otherwise, the artifact won’t be able to ‘see’ the spell and therefore won’t activate
The trigger spell Elaru showed Kiel was si it As soon as the last line eaved the previously cold and lifeless ring reacted
It heated up to be the same temperature as Kiel’s flesh and the previously black kirine started gloith bright azure light
Kiel winced and involuntarily shut his eyes However, his eyes didn’t re up his arreeted hiht wrist blended into his flesh and disappeared without a trace
“You enchanted it to hide the mark of the bond”
“This way, you won’t have to upkeep a color changing spell on your skin Even if you are knocked out or asleep, our secret will still stay a secret” Elaru purred She looked at Kiel as if waiting to be praised
Kiel’s eyebroitched “It is somewhat useful, but wouldn’t the color revert back to nor was taken off? In fact, the whole pre is fake lies on theer If they took it off and wore it they would instantly realize that the ring is a fake, wouldn’t they?”
Elaru nonchalantly nodded her head “Yeah, they would”
“So, it doesn’t reallyspell et knocked out, whoever knockedto reveal the truth” Kiel continued
Elaru’s face revealed a devious save Kiel the chills “Not exactly”
“Not exactly?” Kiel’s eyebrow rose “Also, what should I do whenhirew “Oh, no need to refuse You can cooperate fully”
Inexplicably, Kiel suddenly had a bad feeling “What do you…” Kiel tugged on his ring “… and instead concentrated fully on taking his ring off He tugged, pulled, and twisted for a whole minute before his hands stilled
He turned to Elaru and looked at her with his signature ice cold glare “El…a…ru…why… can’t… I… take… it… off…?” He pronounced every syllable clearly in a ot to mention! It also comes with anti-theft function” Elaru’s face blossomed into a most wonderful s directed her way
“…in other words… no one can take it off… including me?”
