86 Episode 85 Artifacts and Magic Stone Connections (2/2)

If so, it's a quick story.

Well, let's try the two-structure experiment first.

”I've already succeeded with the second structure. You'll need a larger magic stone. ......

The biggest one I have is .......

He said, and took out from the item box the magic stone of the sub-dragon that appeared after the first dragon was defeated.

They are about 50 centimeters in diameter.

The biggest one is the black magic stone from the first dragon, but I have a bad feeling about that one, so I won't use it.

The largest one is the black magic stone from the first dragon, but I have a bad feeling about that one, so I don't use it. ...... That's a pretty impressive magic stone, does it belong to a sub-dragon?

”After I killed the smaller dragons, two of them came out at once. This is the biggest one I have. Will this work?

”I didn't know you fought such things. ...... But you should be fine with something like the Giant Spider Club.

Okay. Then get me a blue flame.

Throw the large magic stone into the item box and take out a magic stone with a diameter of less than 30 centimeters.

I understand.

I'm not sure what I'm doing.

I don't know what she's doing, but I'm guessing it's some kind of advanced technology.

In about ten minutes it was done.

It's done.

Catherine proudly holds out the magic stone.

When I activated it, blue flames, different from those of ordinary magic tools, burst forth with great force.

Surprised by the unexpected power, I hurriedly put out the fire.

It was indoors, but it seemed to have prevented the fire from igniting.

Two structures with this much power: ......

The magic stone is also very durable. It's a performance that makes it ridiculous to make ordinary magic tools.

But since you can't increase the number of structures, the range of applications becomes smaller.

I think the Sapphire of the Sublime Dragon can be used for at least three structures.

It's a bit of a waste to use that much for three structures. I've got an idea: ....... How about connecting the structures with each magic stone?

Currently, due to the way to connect them and magical interference, it is said that you can only create a structure by placing it almost in a straight line.

Therefore, the number of structures that can be used depends on the diameter of the magic stone.

In the case of an ordinary complex magic tool, if the diameter is doubled, it is possible to make something eight times as complex as the volume of the tool, which shows how difficult it is to increase the number of structures.

If you wanted to make 100 structures, you would need a magic stone with a diameter of about 15 meters. Of course, there is no such thing.

Then, why don't we just connect the magic stones? That's a natural idea.

That has already been tested and failed.

Of course I know that. ”Of course I know that, but there must have been something wrong with the way it was done.

”Of course I know that, but it must have been a problem with the way it was done.” This is a natural idea, and there have already been experiments with the same idea.

However, it's just a piece of magic stone (from my point of view) that's been cut to fit.

Even if it were not magic but water, most of it would be leaked out.

If you remove the unevenness more finely and make it fit perfectly, you may get a different result.

So, how do you do it?

”Well, let's give it a try.

While saying this, I took out two magic stones of the same size as before, and shaved them to make a flat surface. The magic image is a belt sander.

First, imagine a rough surface and make a rough plane, and then gradually make the surface finer.

This is done while removing shavings, and in about five minutes, the two magic stones have a surface that reflects light like a mirror.

They pressed them together with more magic.

Something that can be used to fix it: ......

I rummaged through the item box and found a decibatore tree that I had cut down a long time ago.

The wood in the demon realm would become brittle over time, but it was durable enough to hold the demon stone until then, so I cut it down and forced the demon stone into it to hold it in place.

Use this to create the three structures. While I know the structure, it's safe, please.

”All right. Now, the Blue Focused Magic Lamp.

Catherine begins to make the same magic tool as before.

She seems to be concentrating even more than when she was making the two structures, but her speed doesn't seem to be slowing down much and she finishes the work in less than 10 minutes.

”Now, try to activate it.

”Okay, sir.

Catherine activates the magic tool.

If successful, it should emit a blue light (different from a laser) with a certain degree of directionality, like a flashlight, but there seems to be no ...... light emitted.

No?

Do I need to polish it more precisely?

Or am I treating it wrong as a magic tool in the first place?

I started to think about the cause of the failure, but Catherine seemed to be nodding her head in a different way than I was.

It feels like it's working, but ......

As she said that, Catherine was looking at the magic tool.

Then she covered it so as to block out the ambient light, looked into it, and shouted, ”It's working!

”It's working!

What?

It doesn't look like it's glowing at all. ......

When I did the same thing as Catherine, I found that there was indeed a faint blue glow.

However, although the light was bright enough, it was not visible even in a room.

Can we call this a success? It may have been activated, but with this kind of power?

The magic stone connection was successful! No one has ever succeeded before, and it's been a long-held dream of mage craftsmen, along with artifact duplication!

I didn't know that attaching magic stones was such an important technology.

The fact that the experiment was not appropriate may have been due to the underdevelopment of the technology as well as the awareness that 'artifacts are different from magic tools, so I'll give it a try, but it's probably impossible anyway'.

However, the fact remains that it cannot be put to practical use as it is.

...... So, let's just aim to improve efficiency to a practical level.

”Yes!
