Alchemist After Possessing

77. Ice Woman (3)

77. Ice woman (3)

Sora, the snow woman who helps me with my work, is more capable than I thought. She understood everything I said with just one explanation, and she already memorized the names and abilities of all the seeds and flowers I had, and learned to do simple magic gardening combinations.

Is that all? Cleaning surface. Cook if cooked. Sora showed his competence in many ways to the point where he wondered if this was okay. Above all, this is what makes her great.

“This is… Is it Cole Undead?”

“That’s right. It’s the magic written in Arisha-sama’s forbidden book. It is one of the magics that cannot be used with a human body.”

From noble mtl dot com

I got the bones of an animal from somewhere, and I raised the animal by turning it into an undead. Is that all? The missing bones were filled with ice, and the body was made of ice on top of it, giving it the shape of a dog. The so-called Cold Undead, born from Sora’s hands, goes to the soil where the flowers were harvested and fills the soil back with her paws.

“I know a lot of magic that can be used in everyday life. But… I couldn’t read forbidden books higher than my level, so I can only use really simple magic.”

As she said, just reading Arisha’s forbidden books increases your magical power, and the higher the level of forbidden books you read, the faster your magic power increases. If you open a forbidden book with magic that exceeds your level, you could die in an instant.

Even in the original work, the strongest four types of magic that can be acquired using Arisha’s forbidden books were magic that could not be used right away even if the forbidden books were acquired.

First of all, you have to clear the 1st round, receive the Melguard privilege in the 2nd round and raise your HP to the limit, receive the Shaiza privilege in the 3rd round and pile up MP potions that are hard to find even within the worldview like a mountain, and in the 4th round you have to collect forbidden books You have to open the forbidden book while sucking on the MP potion that you obtained and moved to item succession.

The only time to learn the strongest 4 magic is the free time right before the ending, so you can’t use it directly. Now go into the 5th round, receive Arisha’s privilege again and clear the game. Before entering the 6th round, Arisha’s memory transmission function must be used to transfer the knowledge of the 4 magics learned in the previous round to the next round to be able to use it.

The reason I’m telling you this story now is because one of the forbidden books that recorded the four strongest spells came into my hands.

“You must never open it. This… Arisha-sama gave it to me directly, so I brought it with me when I left her mansion.”

“I don’t want to die early either. Maybe someday I will try to open this up.”

After saying that, I put down the forbidden book . You cannot read this book right now. Still, it’s greedy. Even if the penalty was removed by lowering the Karma value, it would be difficult to read this book.

Even in the original work, even if Rin and Ren’s mana was maxed out. It was also impossible to read the HP and MP potions unless you drew them from the previous round and the previous round.

However, if I lowered my karma even further and received a stat correction, I wondered if I would be able to read this book. If he could learn , He would really be able to acquire the one-hit killing technique, so he couldn’t help but be greedy.

“Ummm… “

“Lord, master, no. I-I will confiscate this.”

“Yes, you should rather have it. I think I will end up reading it if I keep it.”

Lowering the karma level itself is a burden on my body. If you lower it enough to receive a correction, you won’t be able to read the forbidden book, and you won’t know what you’re doing.

During the last duel with Zakat, you lowered your Karma level to the limit. I think I was conscious until Karma went over -50, but I can’t remember anything after that.

There is no way I can sit still and read a book in such a state of congestion, so even if I mobilize all the cards I have, I won’t be able to read that book. For that reason, I tried to erase the existence of that forbidden book from my head, but it continued to flicker.

“Ha, I can’t. In times like these, I have to work.”

“Are you going to work?”

“Yes. There’s a lecture in the afternoon, but I’ll make some potions before leaving. How about going with Sora?”

“Yes, I will follow you wherever you go.”

“Do only one of the two, Master and Master.”

Sora nods her head. I moved to District 3 market with her. With the living expenses I gave her and a little pocket money, Sora buys a lot of fruit and bread.

By the way, Sora’s hobby is cooking. Since she noticed that I can use my magical gardening ingredients for cooking, she buys food ingredients this way if I give her pocket money.

“Sora, spend money on yourself sometimes.”

“Please don’t worry about that part. If the young master succeeds, he will bestow a large mansion and servants on me, so there is no need to save money from now on.”

“Then what if I go wrong?”

“Shouldn’t it be Shayza that reverses the situation that is going to go wrong?”

She couldn’t help but smile at Sora who said that. Even so, Sora was competent, so I planned to take him with me even after I left the academy. Thinking of that, she and Sora were looking around the market, and before they knew it, they arrived in front of the construction site in the middle of the market.

Since we are building a building on a scale that did not exist even in the original work, curiosity is naturally aroused.

“There were many shops around here until yesterday, but they are all gone and a big building is going up.”

“That’s right. This is quite a bit of money… “

While talking, I couldn’t help but frown when I saw the sign in front of the construction site.

“Why is that, young boy?”

“… Take a good look at the pattern on the sign.”

As I said that, I pointed to a picture of a mushroom in a round flask.

“What pattern is this? If it’s a flask, is it the Alchemy Society?”

“Yes. It is the emblem of the Deglus Alchemy Association.”

“As for Deglus… Are you talking about that Deglas?”

“Yes. The Deglus Alchemy Association is an association of alchemists who pride themselves on being the closest to Shaiza.”

While saying that, I let out a deep sigh and started walking.

“In the alchemy board, if you say Mr. Shayza, isn’t that the person everyone respects and targets?”

“Yes, the Deglus Alchemy Association is just one of many associations that inherit Shaiza’s business, but their behavior is a problem.”

“How about a problem?”

“It is said that it is the association closest to Shaiza, and the name of Shaiza bets on all actions. You can say that until there.”

I turned and looked at the building belonging to the Deglus Alchemy Society, which was under construction.

“Inhumane human experiment. Slave trade. A murder contract disguised as an experimental accident. Illegal arms trade. Manufacture and sale of drugs. They are in denial, but it is an association that has raised money using all sorts of dirty tricks. By selling the name of Shaiza.”

“… That’s a little upsetting.”

“Yes. When I leave the academy, the Deglas Association will try to keep me in check. Maybe send an assassin. They should be the closest to Shaiza, but I, who is Shaiza’s successor, is holding on.”

One of the reasons I haven’t announced that I’m Shaiza’s successor is because of the Deglas Alchemy Society. An all-out war with them will happen after I graduate from the academy, but that doesn’t mean I won’t get tangled up with them while attending the academy.

Shaiza’s head, who will enter next year, belongs to the Deglus Alchemy Association, and he thinks he is the one who will succeed Shaiza, and he is actually a genius with the ability to do so.

The problem is that what was done within the Deglus Alchemy Society is being done at the academy as well. Probably the one who will break my head the most next year. And the person with whom I will connect most deeply is likely to be that student at Deglus.

“Master?”

“Nothing. Let’s go back The Deglus Alchemy Society can’t do anything right now. Still, it is one of the richest and most famous associations.”

“Is that so? But it’s pitiful. Because one day it will perish at the hands of the young master.”

“Sora.”

“Yes. Young master.”

I looked back at Sora and smiled once before opening my mouth.

“You are quite good at social life.”

“Yes. I learned everything from Arisha. In particular, if you told me that you were more beautiful than Shaiza-nim, you gave me a lot of prizes.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

On the way to my store, Sora told me about something that happened when Arisha was alive. Sora laughed when she talked about Arisha. She showed how much she admired Arisha.

When I think of Arisha, I think of an illustration of her applying medicine to her swollen calf while shedding tears. It’s probably an episode after being caught by Shaiza while doing a dangerous experiment and getting scolded by being hit on the calf with a cane.

There are many other illustrations of Arisha, but only that one comes to mind. She had as much impact as she did.

“So that’s it. What did Arisha-nim do at that time—”

She wanted to ask if she had ever seen Arisha hit her calf, but she decided not to.

After Woros left for the lecture, Sora, the snow woman, made delicious jam with magical gardening ingredients, spread it on bread, and enjoyed tea time with strawberry tea. Nishia and Denas, who drank tea together, smiled as if they were happy.

Nishia and Denas, the original members of the Woros faction, were already following Sora well, and Sora didn’t hate this atmosphere either.

“Then I’ll go. Nishia, please help me. Sora-sama, I’ll be back.”

“Yes, senior Denas, have a good trip too.”

“Please be careful.”

“Yes!”

De Nas Yeseul left her shop with the bag Woros had packed. According to her, she was affiliated with a famous restaurant. Today, Denas Yeseul is going on a business trip because of that. Even though she’s on a business trip, she’s at the store 10 minutes away.

It’s a small shop, but Sora is always surprised when he sees Woros’s shop, which runs as systematically as a large guild. The division of work is well done, and they even work shifts on Sundays.

I hear that when the store gets a little bigger, she hires someone to do the paperwork. It seemed that he was trying to document all the indicators in the store. Later on, all of that will become property or something.

Anyway, whenever I see something like this different from other stores, I can see how competent Woros Blood is. It makes you think about how wise it was to put a line on him.

Sora thought that what I had to do was to help the young master safely graduate from the academy and demonstrate his competence on the continent.

Every time I sense Woros’ competence, I feel the same joy as when I served Arisha in the past.

“Then, Lady Nishia. Excuse me too. I need to buy dinner.”

“Okay. Sora-sama… Take good care of your senior.”

“Please leave it to me.”

Sora said that and smiled brightly. Woros Blood is a very strange person. The people around him respect him in this way. With his fellow student status, he makes himself respectful.

How hard is it to go beyond friendly feelings and make respect? It is even more so when it comes to student-student relationships. Woros did such a difficult job casually.

Thinking so, Sora goes around the market while humming his song. Today, I’m thinking about what kind of food to make. It was then.

“Hey, would you mind taking a moment?”

“Yes? Who are you?”

“My name is Melgard Year 1, Len Epeny.”

With that said, Melgard’s student, clutching the scabbard, asked for time. Sora nodded his head, thinking that it would be okay for a little while, though he was busy going to make dinner for the young master.
