Chapter 310: Stability for now
Since we have obtained copious amounts of high rank magic stones, I secluded myself in the Sanctuary workshop, focusing on manufacturing the magic device.
Together with Laeva, we single-mindedly transmute magic stones.
Our goal was to make magic crystals of 1m diameter. The magic stones gathered at the dungeon were synthesized to raise their purity. A process repeated over and over again.
「If we transmute magic crystals of this size, the magic power we would expend would be terrible.」
「Very true. Even though it had taken Takumi-sama and Laeva who have plenty of magic power several days to make, it’s really at a level that other alchemists would give up on.」
I suppose. We plan on making four of these 1m magic crystals and it would take time even for both of us.
「When I think about filling this magic crystal with magic power, I really want to be given a break.」
「No, we’ll definitely be asking for everyone to help with that.」
When it comes to filling four giant magic crystal with magic power, that amount needed is exponentially large. On the other hand, the Sky Island wouldn’t stabilize if we don’t do that, so we had no choice.
Then a soft breeze blew, and Sylph suddenly appeared.
「As always, you’re way too free.」
「Wind does as it pleases.」
The Great Wind Spirit Sylph appeared without a care for the situation here. Sylph seemed to be able to read the air, and appearing like that was no issue by her standards.
「So, what’s up today? I’m right in the middle of stuff.」
「It’s about the Sky Island that you’re involved with.」
According to Sylph, it was about the Sky Island, so my hands stopped and I listened.
「What about the Sky Island?」
「Takumi, you’re making something that would support the magic device that’s making the Sky Island float, right?」
「Yeah, that’s right.」
Sylph more or less explained the condition and current state of the device controlling the Sky Island. And I tried to add on to her explanation.
「That island can move, right? If so, then couldn’t you bring it to the west of the Sanctuary?」
「Why? You mean above the western sea?」
If there was a surplus of magic power with the magic crystal, the Sky Island is capable of moving. But why though?
「Originally, the savage lands where the Sanctuary was dotted with monster nests filled with dense mana. And right now, the Spirit Tree is purifying the miasma in the land and sky around it, so don’t you think that a place where mana is dense yet without any miasma is ideal?」
「Ahh, if I take the magic device controlling the Sky Island had a system of gathering mana from the atmosphere into consideration, it was definitely ideal.」
「Moreover, the Sanctuary has a thick Earth Vein passing through it. The magic power of that Earth Vein is absorbed by the Spirit Tree and diffused into the atmosphere as pure mana. There’s nothing wrong with it as is, but it’d be a jackpot for the Sky Island if it could consume even a bit of that, isn’t it?」」
What Sylph wanted to say was that.
Even if there was no miasma, she still dislikes mana gathering too densely in one area.
「Got it. I’ll move this after stabilizing the controller of the Sky Island.」
「Thanks!」
Sylph disappeared with those parting words.
「So free.」
「……that’s Sylph for you.」
Laeva and I resumed transmuting the magic crystals.
Today, Marnie was the only one left behind in the Sanctuary mansion to take care of my meals.
Sophia and Maria left with Kaede, Titan, left with the army of familiars to retrain the Aligerous tribe at the Demon Continent. Akane and Lulu-chan have recently been going to Princess Mimir’s place for some reason.
Once the four giant magic crystals were complete, we went to the room of the dungeon core in the Sky Island.
The Sky Island had a Gate connecting to the Demon Continent which the Aligerous Tribe could use, and a Gate that connected to the room with the core which was restricted to authorized personnel only.
Laeva and I transferred directly to the what is now called the Core Room and installed the four giant magic crystals. Then we connected it to the system which drew magic power from the core.
「So this is a magic device that replenishes magic power if you put magic stones of various sizes into it?」
「Yup, I will install it, so please connect the line.」
「Understood.」
When all line connections were complete, magic power began cycling from the magic crystals into the core.
「Ohh! The core’s dwindling of magic power is beginning to be reverse. It’s a success.」
「That’s great! The magic device that gathers the mana in the atmosphere is functioning without issues.」
「Well then, all that’s left is to charge it up.」
「……that’s definitely still the case.」
After that, we got the Aligerous Tribe to help out with filling the four magic crystals with magic power, and we were able to finish the entire process in 10 days.
