161. Magic stone theft case (2)

competitor.

Viscount Otierre flinched at those words.

“competitor. “It’s probably best to be suspicious of that side.”

Priscilla also agreed.

competitor.

Who would be interested in the experiments of a fallen aristocrat who has almost no ties to aristocratic society in a dilapidated mansion?

Of course, it is not a petty theft, but a theft crime that is thoroughly planned.

“Are there any competitors?”

“… … Speaking of competitors… … .”

There’s something there.

“It’s too big of an opponent to even call them competitors.”

At those words, Priscilla snapped her fingers as if something came to mind immediately.

“Count Altair.”

I remembered it too.

Count Altair.

The only family that virtually monopolizes the pharmaceutical market with pharmaceutical technology passed down from generation to generation.

“It’s incredibly big.”

No, maybe that’s why I aim for it more.

But nothing is certain, and there is probably nothing that will be discovered in this laboratory.

“You said you left it as is because of possible damage to the site, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You probably won’t find anything.”

“why… … Right?”

“Those guys who disarmed the security measures and left leisurely wouldn’t have erased their traces.”

As proof of that, no matter how much I raise my spirits right now, I can’t find anything special.

Of course, there may be a reason why time has passed, but now the floor is really clean without a trace.

“Couldn’t we identify the intrusion route specifically? Why, you did that yesterday. at there.”

What Priscilla meant was to use Jenna’s necromancy.

But it will be difficult.

“Even if we figure it out, it won’t be easy because it’s a very small area. At best, only your feet will be exposed, and if you specify the wrong location, you will only be wasting your strength.”

“Umm… … .”

And it’s not something Jenna should know about yet. Only my eldest sister, Sidrain, and Priscilla here know about business related to magic stones.

Best of all, there is a way to find out without that.

Would I have just thrown away a magic stone with such crazy efficiency that it cannot yet exist in the world?

“for a moment.”

I made the two people step aside and rearranged my magic power.

Then I felt the direction of the magic power.

northeastward.

I immediately unfolded the map in my arms and looked to the northeast from my current location… … .

“I knew it.”

The Count Altair mansion appears.

Although it is a simple map, there is no mistake because the direction is clearly checked.

“With this, half of it is confirmed.”

“What did you do?”

“I guessed the location of the magic stone. “I’ll unfold it a few more times on the way there.”

Of course, checking only once is not accurate.

It is pointing towards Count Altair, but it could also point to the northeast even after passing Count Altair.

Or, it may point in a completely different direction before you even arrive.

“But you can’t tie up Count Altair just because you specify him.”

“yes. But there is a way to make it unusable and extract information from it.”

Could it be that they made it so that only the location can be guessed?

My eldest sister is serious about managing her inventions.

Although it was inevitable only when research notes were stolen in the past, he said there had been several attempts to target prototypes or obtain information in the past.

So, the special magic stone I made had a similar arrangement.

“Count Altair.”

In fact, he is not a very well-known figure in aristocratic society.

Rather, I heard that it was a huge commercial success and that they were only focusing on building wealth based on that.

This is different from other nobles who put effort into socializing and strive to reach the center of power.

So I didn’t really think we would get involved, but I never thought it would end up like this.

“Well, well, but… … If you have anything to do with Count Altair, things may become extremely difficult… … .”

I tilted my head at those words.

“Don’t you want to cure your daughter’s illness?”

“… … I’m just worried about my benefactor. As you probably know, having that much money and business on the throne… … .”

Countess.

That much money.

Exclusive business.

And the power that comes from that.

I’ve heard this a lot somewhere.

I chuckled and answered.

“Just focus on treating your daughter.”

I then opened a subspace.

“Looking at the report you sent me last time, I saw that temporary experiments are possible even if you don’t have experimental equipment.”

“That’s right. However, to do it in earnest, you need experimental equipment, and manufacturing a new one takes time and money… … .”

What I took out was a magic stone.

And it was a bag containing crown gold coins.

“This will do.”

“Three, oh my god.”

Viscount Otierre sat down without even thinking about accepting what I had handed him with an expression of emotion.

I approached him and gave him a magic stone and a pouch.

“It’s not just given. It is ‘investment’. “You will get back what you gave.”

“Yes, yes…” … .”

Viscount Otierre answered blankly.

First of all, with this, we put out the urgent fire here.

ah. There’s one left.

“What are you doing?”

“I was wondering if there might be another intruder.”

I meticulously set up traps along the expected intrusion route and camouflaged them appropriately.

With this, the intruders will be at least stunned and at most seriously injured.

“I guess I could use it as bait.”

If we come here again before we move in earnest, it would be great as bait.

But there is no need to call it out for that reason.

“It would be best not to have contact with anyone from now on and just focus on the experiment for the time being.”

“Yes, yes.”

What are the guys who stole the experiment equipment and magic stone trying to do with it?

I can roughly guess.

Based on that, they will take the credit.

If you reverse engineer the experimental equipment and understand the general principles, you will be able to figure out what you are trying to make… … .

There is no need to go through such a cumbersome process.

Viscount Otierre has been working on developing a cure for his daughter for a long time, and everyone who knows knows that.

“really… … “I’m just sorry.”

“It’s not your fault, Viscount Autierre.”

Is the person who was scammed a bad person?

The person who commits fraud is a bad person.

Viscount Otierre just wanted to save his daughter.

“And take this too.”

Therefore, I handed an item to Viscount Otierre.

“This… … .”

“It is a self-defense item. You can use it when there is an intruder or your safety is in danger.”

What they took was experimental equipment and a special magic stone.

The special magic stone is an item that is enough to arouse people’s greed.

So, someone may come to visit Viscount Otierre again.

“Okay, thank you.”

Of course, that won’t solve the problem, but since a signal will be sent to me as soon as it is activated, it will give me enough time to go.

“Shall we go?”

We left Viscount Hauttier’s mansion, and as soon as we left, Priscilla asked as if she had been waiting.

“Are you going to the mansion right away?”

“no. “I will just specify the location and go straight to the temple.”

“god… … jeon?”

Priscilla tilted her head at the word temple.

Suddenly, it was called a temple, so it had to be that way.

But if it’s as I expected, they must come to the temple.

Otherwise, you might die.

“I’ll know it when I see it.”

I don’t like people touching what’s mine.

In my past life, so much was taken from me.

So, that won’t happen anymore.

* * *

Altair County Mansion.

Two people were standing in front of a brilliantly shining magic stone.

“This is it… … .”

“Viscount Autierre. “These are the instruments and magic stones he used in his experiments.”

“That’s great. “The same goes for the experimental equipment, and this magic stone that allowed us to continue the experiment with this ridiculous experimental equipment.”

Count Altair would never pass up even the smallest seed.

That’s why Count Altair’s pharmaceutical business was able to prosper.

Conciliate competitors, eliminate them, and even steal their technology if necessary.

The same goes for Viscount Otierre.

We already knew the story of him throwing everything away to save his daughter and focusing only on experiments, research, and development.

“I thought I gave up because I didn’t hear much news.”

However, there was little interest in the completely absurd experimental equipment and research purpose.

Still, I continued to watch… … .

“I never thought they would keep making things like this.”

Count Altair has extensive knowledge in this area.

So, after briefly looking at the experimental equipment and the ingredients on it, I felt like I had a rough idea of ​​what I was trying to make.

‘Once they’re made, some of our products will simply fail. It’s also a flagship product.’

Once Viscount Otierre’s research is completed, the family’s market monopoly may no longer be maintained.

So, it has to be stopped.

Anyway.

That’s why I brought it like this.

To prevent it from being completed at all.

He’s a human being who won’t benefit if you try to appease him anyway.

or not… … .

“We make it ourselves.”

Once created, the stage may expand from the entire empire to the entire continent.

Basic medicine.

Eliminates the cause of infection, prevents the spread of infectious diseases, and suppresses germs.

What a simple and amazing medicine this is.

A drug that may even deny the existence of priests.

‘I’m jealous.’

Count Altair asked.

“When you brought this, was there anything that seemed strange or bothersome to you?”

The person who answered was Count Altair’s loyal subordinate and former assassin, a man with the code name ‘Tuba’.

“There was none. “It took us less than five minutes to infiltrate as planned, disable the alarm, and leave with all traces erased.”

“Then there won’t be any problem.”

Still, if there’s something on your mind-

‘Who on earth created a magic stone of this efficiency?’

I haven’t tested it exactly.

But I know.

In order to operate such an experimental device, it is impossible to use existing magic stones.

The fact that this experimental device is running normally means that the efficiency of this magic stone, which I have never seen before, is extraordinary.

“hmm.”

Count Altair smoothed his chin.

Actually, what I’m coveting right now is this magic stone itself.

The efficiency of magic stones is a problem that many researchers have now given up on.

The general consensus is that nothing higher than the highest quality magic stones currently on the market can be produced.

But, isn’t it right here in front of your eyes like this?

A magic stone even greater than that.

“I guess I’ll have to do a little experiment.”

Count Altair recalled several studies that had made no progress due to problems with the efficiency of magic stones.

And after a while, the magic stone was moved and the previously used magic stone was removed and installed.

“Once upon a time… … .”

What we are currently conducting is an experiment to develop a drug with a powerful pain-relieving effect.

It was often discontinued due to efficiency issues with the magic stone… … .

“Oh my god… … .”

do.

And very lightly.

The combination and analysis work runs smoothly without stopping.

Count Altair’s eyes sparkled.

“That doesn’t make sense.”

You can do anything with this.

All kinds of aborted research that comes to mind.

In addition to restarting it, existing drugs can also be sold more expensively by improving their effectiveness.

A dry sting that goes away.

Count Altair finally asked.

“To determine the whereabouts of Viscount Autierre. And if possible… … “Get information out of him.”

“All right.”

Former assassin, codename Tuva.

He clearly understood the instructions and immediately remembered what he had to do.

“I will find out everything about the magic stone.”

“Kill me if necessary.”

“yes.”

That was when I said that.

“huh?”

Puzzle!

A light flashed from the magic stone-

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Count Altair trembled with a loud scream and fell to the floor.

“Count!”

Tuva hurriedly approached and checked the count’s condition.

I closed my eyes, and my whole body was convulsing.

Tuva had a hunch.

This cannot be solved with medicine.

“Temple.”

You need the power of a priest to take effect immediately.

“Holy shit.”

Tuva, who rarely showed emotion, hugged Count Altair.
