23 By The Way, How Strong Are You?

"Father. Thank you again for today"

"Oh Grint. Rest tight."

King Heim's capital, the new Round Heart residence...... Grint and Logus finished their morning training.

Punishment in the matter with Olivia has been downgraded to a substantial Viscount for territorial confiscation. Thanks to this, I was wondering if Grint's fringe would disappear as well.

But Anon's father, Aid, never dropped his daughter's engagement.

Grint finished his morning training.

Daily status checks were routine for him.

Grint Roundheart

[JOB] None · Roundheart Next Period Principal

"Father, you've got a little more status."

"Excellent. Keep going for the Heavenly Knight."

"Ha!... may I ask for one, by the way"

"What?

Grint looks a little like he expected from Logus.

"I'd like to show you your father's status."

"Well, I've certainly never shown it before."

"Yes! Even Heim, like your father, can't help but wonder about the status of a knight with a finger fold."

"Then I'll show you. If you don't go as far as me, you won't be a Heavenly Knight."

Logus Roundheart

[Job] General.

[Level] 55

[Health] 1490

[Magic] 811

[Attack] 653

[DEF] 421

[Agility] 317

[Skills] Great Sword moves, physical strengthening, command

That's how Logus released his status to Grint for the first time.

The mightiest knight in Heim, it means he who also has the strength of a finger fold on the continent.

Having seen such Logus status, Grint will have even more respect for his father.

"Awesome, Father! Such a high status...... I have to work harder on this too! I ran away, Ain't brother enough to deal with you."

"Oh right. Your harder work will also pave the way for the Heavenly Knight. It will be applied to the Holy Knight any day, that way the true power of Grint will be unleashed. I'm waiting for that to happen."

"Ha!"

"Mother-in-law. As my mother-in-law said, they don't set me up."

"That's right. It's a stupid story from the start, though I can't say much outside. We're already kings of this continent, even without the help of that country."

It's Isis to Alma that we're having a conversation. The theme was about Olivia and the others, Ishtarika.

"But in case something happens, you're going to wage war."

"I guess not. In that country, the words of the First Unified King weigh as much as the voice of God. That country and Heim don't have an economic deal, which is why they're banning people from entering the port."

Alma had not been asked about Olivia. Alma was the second daughter of the Baron's family, who had been sent in as a second lady, so she had not been told that the bond or anything else would be divulged.

The only two people in the Roundheart family who knew about Olivia were Isis and Logus.

For that reason, Alma feared that she would be executed when she found out about Olivia.

"But mother-in-law. Even if we are prohibited from entering the harbour, it will soon be detrimental..."

Alma felt the most at stake in the Roundheart family. I was a person who was cold with Olivia and the others myself, and a country so powerful that I wouldn't be opponent in Haim when it comes to Ishtarika. You can't say it in front of Logus or Isis, and it's not like you've ever seen Ishtarika with your own eyes.

But based on the knowledge I've learned so far, I thought Heim would be destroyed in a few days.

"That's true. I can't deny it...... but what was the result. I couldn't put Ain in the next round of hearts. Anyway, it was the one that was born."

Toxin decomposition. Its ability was commonly used in Heim to detoxify poisons from snakes in forests and elsewhere, and to cure light eating areas. So even if I followed EX, I could only think of it as something like that for Isis.

And that Ain't never happened, that Ain't gonna be the head of the famous Roundhart family of Wu.

"Right."

Haim where birth skills are important. Alma tries to convince herself that's why she couldn't help it.

Because of his anxiety, Alma also strongly supported Grint becoming a splendid Saint Knight...... Heavenly Knight.

"Ha... ha... So, Your Highness, thank you for your time."

"Oh, thank you. You must be tired, you can lie down."

"Excuse me...... let me sweeten your words"

Ein was training with the Knight of Istharika at the Knight's Stuff in the Castle, at the training center adjacent to it.

This was the first thing Lloyd made me start, and at first Ain was just rolled over.

"Good day, Dear Ein. You're no longer a regular knight."

Chris speaks to Ain after the game. This form of training was started by Lloyd, but Chris was also involved in keeping the guiding role and Ein safe.

"Can I beat my father soon?

If it's true, Ain wanted to call it off about Logus. But somehow there is resistance to callout.

Ain't been able to think about this because a lot of my thoughts on Roundheart were blown out as I came to Ishtarika and lived with this family.

"Come on, what do you think? I still don't know unless I actually fight. It doesn't mean you can win if your status is high."

"You did. Though I don't think I'll ever see them again."

"It's something you don't know what's there, Dear Ein. Now wipe the sweat."

Hand me a fluffy, dry towel. The refreshing aroma of herbs soothed Ein's fatigue.

"Thank you, Mr. Chris. Speaking of which, Mr. Chris can beat your father......?

"Do you hear that?"

Chris replies with just a few evil looks on his face.

"Shouldn't I have listened"

"Oh, no, not that I can't, but I was wondering what to explain."

"... what do you mean?

"Hmm. So I'll show you my status, shall I? You never showed it to me, did you?

"Yes, I just released my status and you never showed it to me before, did you?"

Ain looks resentful, but Chris laughs bitterly.

It wasn't that I wasn't willing to show it, I was purely losing sight of the opportunity.

"Because it's a good opportunity. Take a look."

Christina Wernstein

[Skills] Holy Swordsmanship, Wind Magic, Spirit Magic,

"Oh, no. Strong."

Ain't got a weird tone to stick with. But I had no choice but to do so. It was Chris in status.

"Some parts of me are winning, but Master Lloyd is more expensive overall."

"Is it a monster"

Chris keeps talking with a dull laugh.

"Hehe... you can't help it if they think so, can you? He's probably the hardest and strongest man in Ishtarika."

"You did indeed. Can you actually beat your father?"

"I'm so sorry for your loss. Though I think you've seen my status. Probably losing in physical strength such as offense and defense. Nevertheless, I have quick moves and wind magic... so clearly, it doesn't seem like a battle."

Ain't been surprised to see Chris' status, but I'm not convinced it's because there's quickness and wind magic in a word.

"Maybe Lord Logus can finally follow me with his eyes... so I think it's easy to take him down."

"Much and proper"

The answer was appropriate. Never so much as a pompous trick, but Chris was also gradually becoming more and more of that nature to come out even before Ain. I think I explained this time with a few more words.

What she just said was the word 'at last'. The feeling that I could handle it was too much on the table.

I felt a little confident in Chris that I could defeat the habit he had spoken of if I didn't actually fight him.

"Because if you have the strength like Master Lloyd, you can follow it with your eyes. They'll take care of it."

"I see. By the way, I've never seen anything called Sacred Swordsmanship. Is this different from the Sacred Knight?

"Oh, I can use the Holy Sword. If I could use it, I would have gotten the skills. Even the Devil's Sword and other systems would probably get it if it was advanced in use."

Lightly, they have a holy sword. Chris says it is a testament to those who can draw on the strength of the Holy Sword, those who can handle it, and that it will be easier to draw on its power. It doesn't mean you can never take the Holy Sword without this, it just makes a good sword with the cleavage you just have.

"I want something of my own, too."

"Right. A rare knight of darkness… no, it's a skill that can't possibly reside in people, so I think you can think of a weapon to go with it"

"Is that the Devil's Sword or something after all?

"They also had Durahan, who had the Holy Sword. I've read it in books."

Anything at all.

Katima's lab changed.

In this room beneath the castle, Ain and Katima studies and discussions take place.

"So you're saying that cases where you can absorb skills from demon stones are rare?

"I think so. Ain't you been eating Green Wyburn's magic stone the other day?

"That's an unsavory one. I ate it properly. I also tend to have HP status."

"There are also hypotheses about rising status. Can I explain it to you?

"Nice."

There were significant discrepancies in skills and statuses that could be absorbed from the Demon Stone.

To conclude with regard to skills, not one has been able to be acquired since Durahan.

The rise and fall were still intense in terms of the rise and fall in status.

"Don't imitate me. Come on, Skill. Green Wyburn is definitely a miscellaneous fish in Wyburn, but it's still a Wyburn species even if it rots. Flying, braces, all sorts of skills."

"But I have to get one."

"Uhm. That's why I think about the magic and vitality of Demon Stones!

"What the hell is that?"

Katima launches the Nyanya hypothesis.

"The amount of magic and vitality contained in Durahan's demonic stones is enormous. That's why I expect to get skills."

"I mean, that doesn't mean you can't get skills if you smoke the demon stone of a weak demon..."

"So yes, this is Nha! I have 10 Black Fuorn Demon Stones in my Pocket Money!

"What is that Black Fuorn, by the way?"

The cat took out a demonic demon stone called Black Fuorn. I took out about 10 of them, which were made of cod brown.

"Fuorn is a word-speaking tree demon, smart and harmful to people, so knock them down, but Black Fuorn tricks people into nourishing them and eating them."

"I see. You mean bad Fuorn"

Katima explains that both Black Fuorn and Fuorn move by generating fog as they move.

It can have a messy effect if it occurs in a wide area or in a woodlike place, but it's not a big effect if you do it in a visible place near the field, he said.

From its black Fuorn demonic stone, Ain felt a fragrance reminiscent of an aromatic walnut.

The smell alone was intense, and the aroma was palatable, but there was only one problem.

"Mr. Katima, do you have a minute?

"Nha?"

"Black Fuorn demon stone, it smells like walnuts... I don't like walnuts"

Ein didn't like walnuts. Rather than dislike it. The touch and fragrance were really hard to accept. I already like this because I like almonds and stuff.

"What are you saying to the half of the dry ads..."

"Hey, dry adds don't just eat nuts..."

If you breathe water, it also takes nutrients from the soil. And if you're human, you eat regular meals. It wasn't special considering that.

"It cost me a lot of money. Eat it because it's going to be useless."

"How much, by the way?"

"Black Fuorn's magic stones are expensive. 90,000 G each, so 900,000 G in total."

The demon stones Ain bought at Majolica's demon stone store were 30,000 G and 52,000 G. And the mysterious demon stone 300,000 g. Aside from the mysterious Demon Stone, it's an unbeatable price for the White Bison and Green Wyburn Demon Stones.

"Exactly, that's bad, so I'm going to smoke it"

"I'll be there at once."

I made up my mind. I thought I'd smoke you fast enough not to have time to taste it.

Ain then reaches for the Demon Stone and begins to absorb it.

"It tastes so dark... I'd love it if it wasn't for me."

What Ein felt was the intense fragrance of walnuts.

I guess this would be a reputation if I made cakes and other treats, but that doesn't matter at all to Ain't no good with walnuts.

Ein, who had thus finished sucking all the demon stones, had lost a little energy. Because I've smoked a lot of flavors that I don't like.

"Green Wyburn's demonic stone wasn't too smelly or tasty either. It was only painful to smoke such a bad taste..."

"Good day. Hoi Riplemodoki"

Do a reword with the Riplemodoki demon stone given to Katima. The first experiment was terminated.

"Huh healing. Delicious."

Ein had Riplemodoki's Demon Stone as his favorite. Good flavour but inexpensive and easy to get is also highly appreciated.

"Ain, check your status. Are you getting more skills?

Ain't been told to check his status. HP had increased by 100 to 1355, that was the only increase in status, but I confirm that I have more skills called thick fog.

"The fog has been added. Success."

"That's Blackfuorn's skill, blind as an application. Apparently, the experiment was a success with both skills and stats. I hope you use it in the courtyard for a prank."

Katima asked about Ain's status, his skills and said he was as expected. It's been a strange thing so far, but it finally reveals a little bit about the demon stone absorption.

"Are you saying that not only skills, but stats also have something to do with Demon Stone's amount of magic and vitality?

"What I've learned from my current experiments is that I can't build my skills or stats without a certain amount of magic or life. We can have these two up to a certain line, and it's just like nourishing."

"It's just gourmet."

"Yeah. I think Ein's status has something to do with it. The more status you gain, the more candles you need. I think any Demon Stone I've ever been able to absorb my skills and stats will become more powerful."

Katima explained this.

In other words, if a demon stone does not have a lot of magic or vitality, increase the number of the same demon stones and increase the amount of magic similarly. That if you don't, you don't have an absorbed effect on your status or skills.

He also said that as Ain grows, so will the skills and stats of many weak demons and demons he was able to absorb until then.

"Surprisingly, there's a bad part of it."

"That's a real monster if you can absorb anything from clams."

Ein was convinced what Katima would say. Ein has absorbed Durahan's demonic stones, thus gaining the ability to detach humans. But it has always been too good to talk about infinitely increasing stats and skills like this.

"So on the contrary, if you smoke more demon stones, do you also have more skills and stats that you can suck away for that matter?

"Hmmm... I think the status growth is going to be huge. But the skill... you shouldn't expect too much. Sometimes strong races like dragon breeds gain multiple skills. You smoked Riplemodoki's magic stone before, and your stats improved? But I don't have the skills. That's why I think there are more elements of skill that need to be structured."

"Then you won't know soon enough."

In the meantime, I decided to experiment with this matter later if I had the opportunity.

No matter what they say about dragons, there's no way I can prepare any number of demonic stones of such a race, and I abstained from drawing conclusions now.

Concon con.

"It's Chris. The Queen and Olivia have invited you to tea."

"I'm a little tired and I think I'll take a break. What about Mr. Katima?

"I'll think about it some more. I want to find out what stone Ain bought me."

That's how Katima sees the red and black demon stone in the case Ain bought.

Since the day he bought it, Ain't never heard anything like his voice.

It also seems to shake my willingness to research as a Katima, and for now this demonic stone was kept and managed in Katima's lab.

Ain replied that he found out about Katima and headed to where the queen and Olivia were waiting about Chris.

Laboratory after Ein left. Katima was expanding the book and doing every research.

Not that one. Not this one... I was looking into the characteristics of the demon stone. I did discover a similar demon stone, but it belongs to a giant dragon species, and I would exclude it because it would be a child's demon stone, but it is too small for this size.

"Mmmm..."

Another thing, there was no record of demon stones acting like they curse people.

That's why I launch one hypothesis.

"... an equivalent class of demons to Durahan, specializing in magic? Undead if it's like a curse......?

If you have enough power to be good at magic and keep your own will, could you possibly leave something a little like your heart? That's what I was thinking.

In the end, though, the Demon Stone was taken from dead demons and inhumans. I couldn't really believe the hypothesis that my mind would stay with it, nor for Katima, who makes research a business.

Ain't been guided by Chris and came to a place where he's having tea.

"Sorry to disturb you."

"Oh, there's Ain."

"Welcome, Mr. Ein."

Would you like some tea? And he invited me, and the first to arrive was Ain's mother, Olivia, and grandmother, Laralua.

Laralua was Silvard's wife, or queen, and the race was the half of a dark elf.

Now she is young and beautiful, she was Silvard's only wife.

"Thank you for inviting me"

"Come this way, Ain't you"

"Then excuse me."

That's what they said, Ain sat next to Laralua. If Laralua is present, Ain often sits next to him.

Even as her, she was her first grandson, and a child like Ain was preferable to her.

"What was Ain doing after his training?

"Something like an experiment at Mr. Katima's. I know a lot about my absorption."

"Oh, Ben, this is Ein? Why don't you tell us if you like?"

That's what Laralua tells me, and Ain explains what he figured out earlier.

The conversation thrived because it was also a rare fact for Olivia and the others.

"Really... then, if you had the skills you wanted, you'd have to have a lot of those demon stones"

"Hey Ain. Don't you know how many you need?

"I think a lot of experiments would tell. But I knew I'd need a lot of magic stones to experiment with."

"It's not that easy."

This experiment cost me 900,000 Gs. Assuming you did it 10 times for the same amount, 9G, and even if you looked at how much you could have smoked each time, you wouldn't easily find a "certain line" to build your skills and status.

It's also unrealistic to re-examine Ain every time he gets stronger.

"I feel like I just have to go through all this myself and learn some kind of line"

"Right. It's as much as you don't know by your status, and good luck, Ein."

"Yes, it's a status, Ain. I need to talk to you."

I hope Laralua has a good story to tell, see Ain better and talk with a smile.

"Good story, is it?

"Ain't what you're getting bigger too. Lloyd told me you could have a decent weapon."

"Is that true? I've always been a wooden sword, so I'd be happy to go to the next stage!

Ein is still young, so his body length is never too high. For this reason, what I am using now was a sword made of wood.

In the meantime, there's no way I'm happy to be told I can practice with a decent weapon.

"My body is still small though, and is it from a dagger and heel?

"Right. I think Ein is full of just having a normal sword. So... there was something just right in the treasure trove, looking forward to it?

"Show your mother how cool you look with your sword, too, huh?

It was abrupt, but Ain was happy.

I was glad to have been allowed a decent weapon from the wooden sword that seemed to acknowledge my growth.

Laralua tells me I'll give you that dagger next time, and Ein can't wait for the day.

But first, I decided to thank my grandmother for looking for my dagger.

"Thank you, ma'am. I'll make sure your mother sees me grow up too!
