Episode 477 The Subterfuge of the Wise Man System

　At the time of the wise Emilian's arrival, I headed to the arrival hall of the airport. As I waited, Emilian appeared on a stretcher. Next to him was Clarice with a worried look on her face.

　Emilian seemed to be unconscious. His face was so pallid that I thought he might be dead.

　They put me straight into the ambulance and I went with them to the hospital.

How is Emilien's condition?

The knife wound is closed and okay, but the poison went throughout his body and now he is unconscious.

　Clarice explained the condition. She said that she had given him an advanced antidote magic potion, but it had not worked. Advanced antidotes are not effective against all poisons.

　They say that a single poison is quite effective, but a mixture of multiple poisons will make it ineffective.

　After arriving at the hospital and being taken to the ward, the doctor instructed me to use the "antidote ring. It is a rule that a doctor must be present when medical treatment is performed using magic equipment or magic potions in a non-dungeon setting.

　If something unexpected happens, those without medical knowledge will not be able to respond.

Then the Ring of Detoxification."

　I put the "antidote ring" on Emilian's finger. Then, Clarice tightened her grip on the hand with the ring in place.

I will channel the magic."

　I nodded and moved off to the side from Emilian. I noticed that Clarice had begun to circulate magic power within her body. I poured that magic into Emilian's hand.

　Then the "Detoxification Ring" glows, and its light envelops Emilian's entire body. After a while, the blood begins to return to Emilian's face.

　Emilian, who had been unconscious, opens his eyes.

"Clarice: ......"

　Emilian regained consciousness and had a short recovery from that. He is currently undergoing blood tests and other tests.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

I'm grateful to you. You saved my life."

But even Emilian can be caught off guard, can't he?

I'm only human. If I knew you, I would let my guard down."

　It seems that the person who stabbed Emilian was an adventurer who knew him.

But I don't know why Lambert stabbed Master Emilien.

　Lamberto said that after stabbing Emilian, he ran away and was never caught.

Come to think of it, Lambert had put the spilled blood in a glass jar."

"You mean the blood of Lord Emilien?"

I think the blood is incidental. If he wanted blood, he didn't need to put poison on the knife. He wanted to kill for sure."

'At that time, you were looking into something called the Kamegal text, right?

Ah, here we go."

　Emilian produced a sheet of paper from a storage ring. It seemed to be a transcription of a camegal text.

　I took the paper and read the Kamegal text. It was written in temple script.

Can you read?"

Yes, I used the Scroll of Knowledge.

　One of the ways to reach God was written there. It seems that there is more than one way to reach God. It says that if you do not aim for God in a way that suits your talent and personality, you will fall into the hands of an evil god.

　The method to reach the god written in the Kamegal text is said to be to obtain the feathers of Ziz, the scales of Leviathan, and the fangs of Behemoth from the three giant beasts and process them according to the written method to produce a divine medicine called "Nekutansia".

　This "nekutansia" is said to slowly evolve humans into earth gods. It takes 300 years for this to happen, and few people can become earth deities even if they can create "nekutansia.

　I shared the contents with Emilian and Clarice.

Three hundred years? That means it is impossible for a human being to become a god of the earth.

　Clarice says, letting out a sigh.

There is one person who can do it."

　I explained about Palmiro. Clarice was very surprised. Clarice had met Palmiro before. And she told me that she had talked to him about Emilian.

I am sorry. I don't know why I spoke."

　Clarice apologized to Emilian.

It could be a psychological attack.

　I told him about Palmiro's mental attacks in detail, and when I asked him if he thought that a high level Class A student would have a method of defense against mental attacks, he told me that he uses a ring for defense against mental attacks.

I use them in dungeons, but not on a regular basis."

　Clarice, who apparently did not usually wear that ring, shrugs her shoulders. She said she doesn't usually use it because it is a magical equipment that consumes magic power to protect against mental attacks.

　I taught him the 'steel heart technique.

"Thank you. As a thank you, I will teach you a trick of the wise man system."

　Emilian taught us how to use the sage system to examine the structure of other systems of magic. However, it does not mean that we can create other systems of magic.

I apply the mechanisms I've discovered through this subterfuge in creating magic equipment. It sure has a lot of use value."

　I thought it was interesting to see what is in the magic that is not living magic. It must be true that if you are proficient in using it, it is of great use.

But what is this 'nekutansia' mentioned in the Kamegal text?　That if you drink that divine medicine, you become an earth god, but are gods and earth gods two different things?"

　Clarice started to say something difficult. According to the Kamegal text, a jishin is like a landowner god in Shinto, a god who protects a certain land.

　I didn't want to be an earth god because I felt like I would be bound to one land, like an earthbound spirit. Emilian and Clarice didn't want to either.

　However, if one continues to be an earth god for a long time, he or she seems to ascend to godhood. However, since it is the god that the dungeon thinks of, I believe it is different from the god that humans think of.

Perhaps by 'earth god' you mean dungeon master."

　Clarice started to say. I don't think dungeon masters are gods, but are they gods to the dungeon?　No. Isn't a dungeon master a magical intelligence like Metis?

　There's still a lot we don't know.

By the way, why do you think they took Lord Emilian's blood?

　I asked, and Emilian shook his head.

I don't know. Will have to look into it."
