"How can it be called a trivial matter..." Lan Yu Asagi retorted dissatisfiedly, picked up her cell phone and prepared to deal with the pile of jelly piled at the scene.

But just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly froze in mid-air.

Who was speaking just now?

Lan Yu Asagi looked up and saw Elquet opposite her staring at her thighs intently.

What are you looking at...?

She reflexively lowered her head following the latter's gaze.

The little jelly bear on his thigh seemed to suddenly come alive, looking up at him, his round claws grabbing the corner of his clothes in a very human way, and the light pink jelly on his face revealed a somewhat painful expression.

"First, I..."

"Wow--!"

Amidst Aiba Asagi's heart-wrenching scream, Elquet caught the flying jelly bear.

Her bright red eyes met the bear eyes made of jelly, and she slowly revealed a kind smile.

"Hello and goodbye."

Elquet raised his right hand in a friendly manner, and the light of magic slowly surged.

Only the dead are welcome here among the strange creatures that appear out of nowhere.

"Wait wait wait wait!"

The little bear, whose words had previously been suffocatingly uttered, now screamed frantically, waving his short arms wildly in the air. "I...I am a good citizen, not in league with that alchemist."

real or fake.

Elquet pinched the bear's neck suspiciously and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

The little bear opened his arms wide in a friendly manner, and the suffocating look appeared on his face again.

"Can you change back to your original form first? It's hard to breathe in this state."

"Change back?"

Asagi Aoi, who was hiding next to Himeraira Setsuna, raised her cell phone and looked at Elquet for his opinion.

"Let's change her back and see."

Elquet casually placed the little bear on the table and called the Nicol and Elquets who were watching the show to come over.

If the opponent has bad intentions, just knock him down.

Looking at the girls who were being closely protected by Neko and the others, Elquet nodded to Aoi Asagi.

As the mystical eyes of Aoi Asagi glowed faintly, the crimson light of "Holy Annihilation" fell on the little bear.

The jelly body slowly disappeared, and after the power of the "Holy Annihilation" that changed the world was reversed, the little bear slowly revealed her original appearance.

A ruby ​​cut into a beautiful polyhedron is lying quietly on the table, and the crystal clear ruby ​​emits a faint glow in the sunlight.

"Oh..."

Elquet looked at the ruby ​​in surprise. "Could it be Aizhe Red Stone?!"

The metallic life form sample brought back by the Moon Spirit's marrow fluid suddenly began to tremble, and it squirmed towards this side as if it had gained life, slowly wrapping the ruby ​​inside.

A few seconds later, a small figure that looked like Asagi Aiba and looked like a doll appeared on the desktop.

"Thank you very much. I am Nina Adylad of Palmyra, a descendant of Hermes Trismogistus, a practitioner of Magnus Opus."

The little man, less than 30 centimeters tall, bowed politely. His exotic face contrasted with the long hair by his ears, and his eyes shone with curiosity.

"What is that Aizhe Redstone?"

Chapter 71 "Sage's Blood"

"What is that Aizhe Redstone?"

Nina asked curiously, her eyes shining.

The never-heard-of term aroused the alchemist's curiosity.

"That is one of the necessary tools to achieve a perfect creature."

Elquet said seriously, looking at the ruby ​​on Nina's chest.

In a certain JOJO, Lord Kaz became a perfect creature by embedding the Aizhe Red Stone into the Stone Mask.

"Wow, a younger generation has already created perfection." Nina said in a tone like an old person who missed her youth. "Can you tell me the name of that younger generation?"

"Ahem..." Elquet coughed twice and looked at the ceiling guiltily. "Let's talk about this later."

"Is it some unspeakable name?" Nina tilted her head in confusion.

"Ah, I found out." Lan Yu Qiancong interrupted Nina's questioning and showed her phone. "Nina Yadilad—a great alchemist of ancient times. Legend has it that she gained an immortal body and infinite magical power through the "Sage's Blood" she forged herself."

She put on a guarded expression again, folding her arms across her chest.

"Since we're both alchemists, what's your relationship with that guy wearing a red and white checked hat and a white cape?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Nekkerkui guards quickly took out various weapons.

"Tianzhong Hao is my disciple, but he was expelled from the sect a long time ago, so he should be considered a former disciple." Nina crossed her arms and spoke in a very calm tone.

"Aren't you in the same group with him?" Lan Yu Asagi narrowed her eyes suspiciously, and with a flick of her finger, Nico and Erkui raised their weapons and moved closer to Nina.

"of course."

"Who would believe that?" Lan Yu Qiancong raised her chin and said unhappily, "When I met you, you wanted to run towards me."

"I wanted to save you at that time, but..."

Nina said as she slowly lowered her head and glanced at Aoba Asagi who was staring at her.

Who would have thought that the young girl who was frightened to the ground by the attack of "Sage's Spirit Blood" would immediately launch a counterattack and kill "Sage's Spirit Blood" in seconds.

It was killed in one hit, so there's nothing more to say.

The "Sage's Blood" that she had spent her entire life researching and refining was actually destroyed so easily. This gap made Nina twist her mouth into a 'へ' shape like a little girl in a tantrum.

Did this guy really live for over two hundred and seventy years?

Asagi Aoi looked at Nina who was obviously sulking alone and complained in her heart.

"Since you refined the Sage's Blood, it wouldn't be some clichéd plot of a disciple rebelling against his superiors." Elquet gently poked the ruby ​​on Nina's chest.

"...Although I really don't want to admit it, it is true."

Nina, recovering from her sulking state, placed her hand on the faintly glowing gemstone on her chest and whispered, "This is called the 'Refined Core,' the control unit of the self-reproducing liquid metal life form, the 'Sage's Blood.' Consider it the incarnation of my soul."

Legend has it that Nina gained an immortal body, apparently by transferring her soul into an immortal metal life form.

Arquette nodded slightly.

This was probably the reason why I felt uncomfortable when I turned into a jelly bear.

but...

"Self-proliferating type..." Elquet muttered the word in a low voice, remembering the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and the appearance of the prisoner described by Aoi Asagi.

They were all men wearing red and white checkered hats and white cloak coats.

"So, the one who attacked Asagi and Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid is the same guy."

"If they were all attacked by the Sage's Blood, then that's it." Nina sighed softly. "The reason Tianzhong Mercury can use the Sage's Blood is because he has the Pseudo-Refined Core."

"Fake?"

"Yes, it can be said to be an imperfect 'Refined Core.'" Nina nodded to Elquite, confirming, "The 'Pseudo-Refined Core' can also control the 'Sage's Blood,' but its effectiveness isn't perfect. A small mistake could lead to loss of control."

"Tianzhong Mercury stuffed that 'pseudo-refined core' into the sealed and dormant 'spiritual blood'. And he took advantage of the fact that I, the orthodox control device, had not yet fully activated." As she spoke, Nina raised her head with a look of dissatisfaction, her expression like that of a teammate who was secretly scolded by Lao Liu behind his back.

"It's just like not installing viruses before the anti-virus software is activated, right?" Elquet nodded in understanding.

"That's right. Although I don't know what antivirus software is, I can tell you already understand it." Nina shifted her gaze to Aoi Asagi. "The monster next to Amazuka Mercury that attacked you earlier was the out-of-control 'Sage's Blood'."

"Tianzhong Mercury has five 'pseudo-refining cores' that he can use. If we think of the cores as souls, what do you think would happen if there were multiple souls in one body?"

"Schizophrenia." Arquette snapped his fingers and answered confidently.

"Yes, even on this basis, it will get out of control. Therefore, I will be cut by the polluted spiritual blood and escape to the outside world."

"Oh~" Lan Yu Qiancong, who was listening to the story, suddenly remembered something, "If I hadn't brought you back, you might have been lying there unable to move."

"That's exactly what happened." Nina nodded with a sigh, "But there's still a way."

"A way..." Lan Yu Qiancong remembered what Nina said before about saving herself. "Isn't it you who said before about saving me?"

"As the price for repairing your body, I may have to stay inside you for a while."

"Alas..."

Lan Yu Qiancong suddenly hugged her shoulders, her body trembling slightly. "There's another person inside me, it feels so weird."

But as the price of saving my life...it seems acceptable?

"It's the usual ring grandfather part, albeit a little different." Elquet pinched Nina's now figurine-sized body. "Can you still make spirit blood?"

"Well, if I had the same weight of gold, silver and various rare metals as this girl, plus nine hundred liters of mercury, and fourteen or fifteen psychics as sacrifices, I might give it a try." Nina pointed at Lan Yu Asagi and said.

"Forget it, I was thinking of trying to upgrade the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid." Elquet shook his head in disappointment, and waved at the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that came out from the kitchen. "How's Xia Yin?"

"She wasn't injured in the previous attack and is now trying to help in the kitchen." Yue Ling's marrow fluid gently patted the maid's skirt and she stood gracefully behind Elquet.

"Natsune... The Natsune you are talking about, are you referring to Yeze Natsune?" Nina suddenly showed a nostalgic expression on her face, but immediately came back to her senses.

Other characters appeared in the latter half of Elquet's speech.

"Upgrade?" She once again displayed her alchemist qualities, her eyes flashing with curiosity.

"Hehe~" Elquet raised his head proudly and waved to the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid beside him.

The next moment, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid turned into mercury and bounced twice on the ground in a round shape.

The slime-like Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid suddenly made Nina open her mouth in surprise, and she pointed at Elquet with a trembling finger.

"Are you the one who created the perfect offspring?"

"I'm not." Elquet instantly put away his expression and waved his hand coldly.

She's not some brother who stopped thinking in space.

Chapter 72: Is He Dead?

"Tianzhong Mercury died five years ago?"

Nina glanced up in surprise at Natsune Yease, who was holding her, but then gave a matter-of-fact look. "Yes, I remember that in the accident five years ago, half of his body was devoured by the Sage's Blood. He shouldn't be alive."

"It seems that your 'Sage's Blood' is really easy to get out of control." Elquet narrowed his eyes in disgust, carefully observing Yeze Natsune's current actions.

Yeze Natsune was her cat petting teacher, and she had seen that pose in Yeze Natsune's cat petting tutorial class...

That's the friendly way to approach a strange cat for the first time!

Xia Yin...wouldn't she treat Nina as some kind of pet?

After taking a look at Nina, who was less than 30 centimeters tall and looked like an elf, Elquet became more certain of this idea.

"That's because Tianzhong Huan..." Nina muttered in dissatisfaction, then raised her little face and said, "Five years ago, Tianzhong Huan appeared before me and asked to become my disciple. At that time, this guy brought a 'fake refining core', but his goal from the beginning was to take my body and steal the 'Sage's Spirit Blood'."

"But he ultimately failed, leading to the tragedy five years ago."

"Once the Sage's Blood escaped my control, it went haywire. Everyone in the monastery died, and half of Amazuka Mercury's body was devoured." Hearing Elquet's words, Nina let out a bitter smile. "It was Yeze Natsune who ultimately stopped the Sage's Blood."

Natsune Yease, who was holding her, slowly stopped moving. The horrible experiences of the past emerged in her mind, and the fingers on Nina's chin began to tremble involuntarily.

Yeze Natsune stared at the ruby ​​on Nina's chest, and spoke slowly after a few seconds.

"That horrible thing killed all my friends..."

"Since Mercury Amazuka died at that time, why can he come out to attack us now?" As if wanting to interrupt Yeze Natsune's memories, the silent Himeragi Setsuna suddenly spoke.

"That's the problem." Nina's face showed an angry look. "I've always found it strange that it's impossible to create a "pseudo-refined core" with Tianzhong's mercury level."
