Chapter 458 Demonic Stone
Carly's strange expression was noticed by Miss.
An idea came to his mind.
The thing that the [Magician] guild member was talking about was most likely some kind of prohibited item that Carly didn't want Ron to know about, or it could be something that Ron gave to Carly.
"Is it because of the magic stone?" Ron asked in a deep voice.
Hearing the words "Magic Stone", Misty immediately became interested.
He had seen this special ore in an adventurer's notebook before.
This kind of stone is produced in only one place in the entire continent, the Ghost Town of Wall.
During the demon invasion a thousand years ago, a large number of demons died there.
In the thick demonic energy that could not be purified, a new species was born, the ghost clan.
Although they were named "Ghost Clan" by the Adventurer's Association, they are essentially the embodiment of demonic energy.
It has the combat power of a high-level monster and the brain of a low-level monster, which basically means it has no intelligence.
As time goes by, special crystals will form in the ghosts' bodies, which are called magic stones.
This crystal is a natural stimulant.
By absorbing the magical power, the dying adventurer can regain his vitality and prolong his life until the healing magician arrives to save him.
It is a rare natural life-saving tool.
Since the ghost clan has only appeared for a short time, the output of magic stones is even more limited, making it an extremely scarce treasure.
Carly's eyes were wandering, and she looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. It was obvious that Ron had guessed it right.
Ron looked guilty and was about to speak, but was interrupted by her.
"Brother, this has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it. This is just speculation."
As of now, there is no evidence to show that it was the magic stone on Carly that caused the demon general to enter a state of violence.
After all, this kind of crystal has only appeared for a few hundred years, and there is no chance to use it for experiments on demons.
But if it was really the magic stone that made the demon general lose his mind, things would become interesting.
This kind of crystal, after its effect is artificially amplified, may be able to affect the devil's mind.
"Stop talking, Carly. I didn't expect that the one who almost killed you was me." Ron clenched his fists so hard that his fingers turned purple.
A man with a severe sister complex almost killed his own sister. No one could bear such a blow.
Although Carly said that she didn't think it was a problem with the magic stone, the expression on her face had already betrayed her.
She also believed that it was the magic stone that caused the demon general to go berserk.
"Brother, you put the magic stone on me to save my life. This situation happened, it was all an accident."
Miss walked up to Ron, who was blaming himself, and patted his arm.
"I understand your feelings, but isn't Carly fine now? Isn't this the best outcome?"
As an older brother, Cassius also agreed with Mith's words.
"If the teacher hadn't arrived in time, Sister Carly might not have made it to the moment she entered the palace."
Seeing Ron's distraught look, his mood didn't seem to improve at all, so Miss decided to distract him first.
He asked tentatively: "By the way, Ron, you probably don't have any extra magic stones, right? I want to find one to use for the experiment."
Hearing what Miss said, Ron shook his head, "I only got one piece when I went to Wall Ghost Town this time. I really don't have any extra ones."
Mis sighed, "What a shame."
Carly was puzzled, "What's wrong, Miss, is it possible that the magic stone can be used in the subsequent war?"
Mis replied: "At present, this is just a guess. Whether it can be used or not needs to be tested."
Carly suddenly perked up, as if she had made up her mind.
"I'll go find it for you. It's my way of thanking you for the water of life, even though it may not be as good as..."
"No!" Ron said strongly.
Searching for the magic stone means fighting with the longest-surviving ghost in the Wall Ghost Town. Even if Carly is strong enough, she is not safe.
"If you want to go, come with me." Ron said a little embarrassed.
He never dreamed that such words would come out of his mouth.
"Brother, it's settled. Consider it your compensation to me."
Carly agreed quickly, as if she had expected this reaction from her brother.
Seeing that the brother and sister reached a consensus to return to Wall Ghost Town, Miss was too embarrassed to refuse.
Human relationships are a very mysterious thing.
For him, neither owing favors to others nor being owed favors by others is a very comfortable thing.
"I will leave marks on you and teleport you to my side at any time. I'll leave the matter of the magic stone to you."
After seeing Ron and his sister off, everyone else gathered in the palace.
Although the defense of the royal capital this time can be considered a success, Cassius' biggest concern is whether the Church will make a comeback in the future.
If the next invasion of the Church is still led by the demon general and they do not hold back, their situation will be dangerous.
Mis rejected his idea without hesitation.
Judging from the actions of the Theocracy this time, it is consistent with Miss's previous inference.
Simply to plunder the black crystal magic mine.
As for why Michel did not kill the people of the Kingdom of Veratis, it was simply because he wanted to keep them as nutrients and absorb them all through Tartarus's sacrificial magic.
However, the black crystal magic mine that the Church had gone to great lengths to snatch was not enough for Michelle to activate the magic circle.
He must be well aware of this himself.
Although Michelle knew that there was not enough magic mine here, he still chose to plunder.
He even asked Jie Lais for help.
Miss guessed that he most likely found enough energy, and all he needed were the magic mines in the Kingdom of Veratis to activate the magic.
As for where enough energy is, Miss doesn't even have to think about it.
"If I had known earlier, I would have left more marks in Sojer City."
He thought that the black crystal magic mine in Sojour City might be exposed, so he immediately checked the mark on Ricken's body.
But Rickon doesn't seem to be in Sojourn.
"Cassius, has Michelle shown up since the invasion of the Theocracy?"
Facing Miss's question, the little yellow-haired boy shook his head firmly, "At least he has never appeared in the territory of Veratis, from beginning to end."
"That's strange. For such a big operation, he, as the Pope, didn't show up. It seems that there are more important things that he needs to deal with personally."
Everyone was puzzled, "More importantly, he won't go to fight the demons, right?"
Mis smiled and said, "That old Deng probably isn't in the mood to do this."
If he guessed correctly, Michelle was probably already in Sojourn.
Mis did not stay any longer and decided to return to the Kingdom of Firris to check the situation in the city of Sojer.
