Will of Сhaos

Chapter 46: What to do from now on

Thanks to the interrogation of the assassin with the title Viper, we already have a sense of the conspiracy that an extremist group from the Church of Light is plotting and we have an overview of their plan to start a war between the Cartoza Kingdom and the Trigan Kingdom.

Before I talk to the girls about plans for what we're going to do going forward, I have a few questions I want Kira to answer.

"Kira tell me something, how's her hired spirit doing?" (me)

"..." (Kira)

"So the master noticed didn't he?" (Kira)

Kira is startled by my question and her eyes widen, while rica and Diana are surprised by my words and Kira's answer that opened a slight smile of happiness on her face.

"He's sleeping inside me master, he looks like he's a young spirit, all I know is that his elements are Thunder and Metal, he's a rare dual-element spirit." (Kira)

"Do you know how long he's going to sleep?" (me)

"Unfortunately not, but I know the reason I awakened my spirituality is you master, so I thank you." (Kira)

"Thanks to the master I can be considered an Elf Genius, for having managed to make a contract with a Spirit before I was a hundred years old." (Kira)

"No need to thank me, I just wanted to know how he's doing since he's still sleeping so never mind." (me)

"Back to the topic, you might be wondering why I asked about a lightfastness skill for Viper, right?" (me)

"Yes master, if you wanted to know something you could have asked us earlier, I'm sure many of us would be happy to answer any questions you have." (rica)

"Yes, it's like rica said." (Diana)

"I also agree with rica's words." (Kira)

"Alright, next time I'll talk to you guys when I need something." (me)

"As you may know I have an ability that allows me to acquire skills from those I eat." (me)

"I would like to get the light resistance skill, so I asked him that." (me)

"If the master needs this skill I can go into town and get you someone to devour." (Kira)

Diana is annoyed by Kira's statement and rica makes a face of indifference as she nods as if she agrees with Kira's words.

"I appreciate your goodwill, but I won't kill an innocent just for the sake of it." (me)

"Sorry for suggesting something that displeased you master." (Kira)

"Just keep in mind the next time I don't kill innocents, I don't do it because I'm a good person, but because I don't want to be a monster that just acts on instinct." (me)

"I will keep that in mind in the future master." (Kira)

"Speaking of this ability, according to Viper all priests and above have this ability along with a Light Elemental Affinity ability." (me)

"If we're lucky one of the nobles who will participate in the assassination plan might have this ability, or if I'm right and someone is infiltrating the prince's delegation, he'll certainly have this ability." (me)

"How can the master be so sure that if anyone is undercover he will have this ability." (Diana)

"Because this infiltrator would surely be a priest of the Church of Light, it would do the church's image very well if one of its priests kills the prince's assassins." (me)

"I see, not only would they silence the killers but they could also claim that they tried to stop the killers, which would put them on good terms with the Cartoza royal family." (Diana)

"Exactly." (me)

"But this is all just an assumption for now." (rica)

"But if the master's guess is right, we can kill this priest for the master to eat." (Kira)

"That would be the best possible scenario for me." (me)

We went over everything we heard during the interrogation and thought about possible scenarios and possible plans, in the end, we spent almost the entire day that was left talking about it.

In the end, we agreed that the assassination plan must take place on the road to that Kingdom.

After roasting some meat and eating some I tried to ask rica something.

"rica do you know anything about the items he described that are in his body item box?" (me)

"I do know master." (rica)

"The items he described and their quantities seem to refer to some kind of ritual and a powerful one." (rica)

"Nucleus is used all the time in rituals and global currencies have pure energy within them so they are used in almost all kinds of rituals." (rica)

"Usually monster blood is used to draw magic circles or spirit runes, so True Dragon blood should be used that way too." (rica)

"How these items are used in a ritual." (me)

"Monster blood or some other kind of magic conductor is used to draw the magic circle, then the cores are used at critical points of the magic circle to regulate energy, after which the cores become part of the circle and serve as points of concentration and transformation of energy, then global coins are used to burn that energy and amplify it during the activation of the magic circle." (rica)

"Of course, we can't forget that activating the magic circle needs someone to input their own energy to control the energy flow of the magic circle and direct this energy through the magic circle correctly, by doing this the controller's energy will be spent so it's impossible for someone to make a magic circle above their own level." (rica)

"From the items, he reported, what do you think is the level of the mage who needs these items." (me)

"Well the rituals I mentioned are simple, and many other items that go into different rituals, but by the levels he described they are, it must be a S or SS Rank mage, it can also be ten to a hundred A or Rank A mages. B to make up for the difference in power." (rica)

I already understood more or less how magic circles work, basically, they are similar to circuit boards, at least it was with this comparison that I was able to relate their operation.

Now know what to do the next day.

Hmmm...

I spend some time thinking and talk to the girls when I get my thoughts in order, it's just too much information for a single day.

"Diana and Kira are going to town tomorrow with the goals we've talked about before." (me)

"But this time after you finish your goals I want you to try to get information about the delegation." (me)

"Diana will try to find out from the Guild discreetly and Kira will try to buy this information on the black market or find someone who knows and get him to talk." (me)

"Understood master." (Diana)

"As you wish, master." (Kira)

"Try to do these things slowly so as not to draw unwanted attention, I'll give you guys a week in town before I get back, Kira you can meet Diana at night and sleep in your room to hide, it's safer if you are together at bedtime." (me)

"When you fulfill your respective goals and still have some money, buy me some books." (me)

"Books about all the elements, basic magic, rituals, blacksmithing and Forge, alchemy, woodworking, spirit, works, abilities, Ki, monsters, religions and about these reading and information crystals." (me)

"..." (rica)

"Isn't that a lot master?" (rica)

"Yes, I know it's a lot and that's why you're going to take more than one box of items, remember that the books I want are basic I don't have any knowledge about them and I'm going to use those books to learn." (me)

"I'll buy whatever the master wants, some of these books I can get from the Adventurers Guild." (Diana)

"I can get books that are hard to buy or that are forbidden for the master, don't worry." (Kira)

"I'm counting on you, remember not to overdo it too much, if you don't do it well, I'm in no hurry." (me)

I talked to the girls for a while until bedtime, told them why I wanted these books and why their goals in this mission were easy things to find.

I'm going to use the Forge and Woodworking books not just to learn how to create things like weapons, armor, bows, or a chair.

I want to see if the methods I know from my research and my years of creating and repairing furniture or asking the strongest children to help me create kitchen utensils at the orphanage in my youth are still valid in this world.

I have a lot of knowledge that would be labeled useless in my old world thanks to my research for my games, that knowledge could be of great help here in this world for me, but I have to make sure it will be useful first.

This world has laws of physics similar to my ancient world, but there are also ways to break those laws, there are also forms of energy that didn't exist in my ancient world, so I don't know how useful my knowledge is here.

I will use these books to verify these doubts and finally have a starting point in this new world.

I just remembered one more very important thing that I turn to the girls and say.

"Please, if you find books that describe the various types of foods, recipes and drinks bring them to me." (me)

"I'm looking to improve our diet, I'm tired of eating raw or just roasted meat." (me)
