Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 304
Chapter 90 Hitchcock (3)
Frondier moved from place to place with Jeremy following Paul’s guidance.
They said they would let me choose a product, so I thought they would leave the first research center and return to the company, but they headed even further inward.
Jeremy spoke first, as if he was concerned about the idea.
“The products we will show you are items that have not yet been released to the world. But the performance is certain. “These are safe products that have been tested in advance.”
“You mean it hasn’t been released yet?”
Paul answered that question.
“yes. Except for people from our company, Frontier will be the first to see this.”
Frondier looked forward to those words, but at the same time, a faint feeling of apprehension ran down his spine.
‘It’s natural, but I’m going deeper and deeper into the company.’
If Frontier’s guess is correct, assuming that Jeremy is the devil, it is highly likely that he induced this whole situation.
Of course, it was Frontier who gave the hint about the three-dimensional map, but even if that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t have been difficult to bring Frontier here.
At least it would be enough to claim that it provided the idea of a three-dimensional map.
If Jeremy is the devil and Hitchcock is the devil’s hideout.
It is no exaggeration to say that we are putting our head in the lion’s mouth in this situation where we are going inside the company.
“Here we go.”
Paul’s voice stopped Frondier from his thoughts and he looked into the room Paul had shown him.
“…and.”
And a small exclamation.
Of course, the quality and design of the countless items arranged inside were excellent.
Actually, it’s more like, ‘Is it okay to ‘look’ at this many items?’ It originated from a feeling of remorse.
But remorse is remorse, and Frondier’s eyes quickly scan the items displayed inside. In an instant, the list of new items in the workshop filled up.
“Let’s look around slowly.”
Paul said, and Frondier followed suit and walked slowly, looking around at the items on display.
I was impressed when I saw the imperial palace armory, but the things on display inside were surprising in a different way.
There were items that looked close to guns, and there were also items resembling wizard views or smart watches, or items that I had no idea how to use.
Of course, there wasn’t a big problem because Frontier gave a rough explanation when you put it in the workshop.
“By the way, Mr. Frondier, it is rude to say that…”
Paul’s cautious voice was heard from behind Frondier, who was looking around.
“The product you are wearing now looks very similar to our product.”
“Oh this. “Jeremy said that too.”
Frondier raised his arm to show his arm. It is so thin that it is almost invisible as it is hidden under clothes, but it is not particularly hidden and sometimes shows through inside the sleeve.
In fact, Paul may already know about Frontier’s side.
“It’s truly amazing that an object created to control mana can be applied in such a way.”
“….”
To those words, Frondier looked at Paul without answering.
Frontier immediately understood the meaning of what he had just said.
Therefore, Frondier opened his mouth with a faint smile.
“…Is that so?”
“….”
From Frontier’s perspective, the Judo newspaper is very easy to understand.
Frondier did not reveal the source of the adhe used. However, if you answer yes to the question just now, you are admitting that this ad has applied Hitchcock’s product.
“I already told you, but I know nothing about magic engineering.”
“Excuse me.”
Paul bows his head. Frondier smiled at that and walked again.
And it stops in front of an artifact.
‘…this bracelet.’
A luxurious-looking bracelet was placed in front of him. It was placed without any particular distinction from the others and was not really a superior artifact.
However, it was after the artifact was stored in the workshop that Frondier noticed it.
[Bracelet of Mental Resistance]
Grade: Rare
Description: Slightly resists all forces acting on the wearer’s mind. Resistance does not discriminate between caster and type. In other words, it resists forces that benefit the wearer. As the range of resistance became wider, the resistance became weaker.
As you can see from the description, it is a bracelet that responds to the mind.
Currently, Frontier is doubting whether he has fallen under Lili’s charm. Although he is not as devotedly loyal as other knights, it is difficult to shake the worry that his influence is minimal.
Above all, Frontier forgave Lili.
What if that forgiveness was due to ‘enchantment’?
If it had been a normal Frontier, would it have punished Lili?
In other words, is this situation after not making the right choice?
‘It’s said to be minimal resistance, but if you feel anything after wearing this.’
It doesn’t matter whether this bracelet actually helps.
Because the fact that it is ‘effective’ itself disproves the fact that I was being seduced.
Of course, Lili’s power may not be something that this bracelet can block, but it’s better to try.
“Can I try this for a moment?”
Frondier asked, pointing to the bracelet.
Of course, Paul nodded willingly.
“of course. As I said, wear it yourself and check the effect before making your choice.”
Frondier nodded, then picked up the bracelet and put it on his left arm. You can feel the mana surrounding your body, which is definitely different from a regular bracelet.
‘…I don’t think there’s much difference.’
But when you tilt your head because it doesn’t really have any effect on your mind.
Whiing –
A light suddenly came on from the display stand where the bracelet was taken out.
“huh?”
The light swept across the frontier as if scanning it.
That moment.
“Ugh!”
Frondier was shaken by strong dizziness and placed his hand on the display stand.
‘This…!’
For a moment, I thought it was another mental magic, but it wasn’t. In the first place, a clumsy mental attack cannot even hit Frondier.
The fact that Frontier felt dizzy was not a direct effect. Secondary things.
What Frontier actually suffered now was
‘mana was taken away!’
Yes. The mana inside the body was disappearing at a rapid rate.
It’s probably a way to protect against intruders trying to steal the artifacts here.
However, even while Frontier was looking around, the device was still operating.
“This is such a shame.”
Paul’s expression suddenly changes and he looks at Frondier coldly.
“Since you keep your mouth shut about important issues, we have no choice but to use a slightly harsh method.”
“It’s a bit rough…?”
Frondier laughed out loud.
If a person’s mana drains quickly, they can even die.
It survived because Frontier’s mana was so vast, but if it had been an ordinary person, it would have died from shock. It’s not that different from someone who loses blood in an instant.
Moreover, it doesn’t end that way, and this device will probably continue to function even after the mana is lost. It is clearly a device designed to kill people effectively.
“Answer my question before you die.”
Paul came trotting along. It seemed to him that the crime prevention device had no effect at all. The same goes for Jeremy, who was behind him.
Is this a crime prevention device designed to only target intruders?
‘…Is this effect only applicable to humans?’
If it’s the latter, it’s really interesting. Because the machine is distinguishing between humans and demons.
“Why did you attend that banquet hall?”
“…what…?”
Frondier frowned. I thought you were going to ask about Adae, but suddenly you said it was a banquet hall?
Paul shook his head and waved his hands in the air. Then, Frontier’s mana consumption stopped. As if giving a reprieve.
“You’re being pretentious. You are clearly looking for the devil. “Where did you get that information?”
“…What on earth are you talking about? The only devils I met there were those who came in droves like clouds of dust.”
Pugh!
Paul kicked Frondier in the face. Because Frondier lowered his stance due to loss of mana, the kick went straight.
“Foolishly again. Jeremy heard you talking to the demon of Agris. “You wanted to know how to distinguish humans from demons, right?”
Frondier let out a laugh. As expected, you were listening to Jeremy.
“Are you on the side of the Devils of the West? Are you moving with them to catch the demons hidden in the empire?”
…Oh my.
Frontier began to roughly understand the situation.
At the time when Elodie was trapped with magic and Frondier was talking to a demon.
Frondier, who would normally kill all the demons right away, talks to one demon for quite a long time. At that time, Jeremy began to have strange suspicions.
Are the Frontiers actually on the side of the Devils of the West? Was the reason they were blocked because there was confusion in each other’s information?
The moment he had that suspicion, he approached Frondier and, sure enough, Frondier asked him how to distinguish between a devil and a human.
“Answer me. Frontier de Roach. You already know too much and you want to know more. “But since we don’t know anything about you yet, it doesn’t make sense, right?”
“…I have nothing to say.”
“Did you not understand the question? After this you die. “I became a miserable mummy with all my mana taken away.”
“Didn’t you understand what I said?”
Frontier’s head is raised. The brightly shining black eyes pierce Paul.
“I have nothing to say to you, bat.”
“…great.”
And Paul waves his hands again.
Whining –
The device is activated and Frondier’s mana disappears in an instant.
“A hero who won the Frontier de Roach War and even defeated Belphegor, one of the famous seven sins.”
Paul spoke as if he was reading a person’s resume.
“But humans can’t do anything without mana. “Neither the weave you boast nor the black can be used for anything.”
Even as Paul speaks, Frontier’s mana continues to disappear. Once even the slightest trace of mana disappears, Frondier’s body will scream from the symptoms of mana loss.
Frontier, who has had this experience a few times, may be able to endure it for a while, but the time cannot exceed 5 minutes at most.
“Have you become too strong for your topic?”
Paul speaks mockingly.
Jeremy approaches from behind him.
“…Director, if we kill Frontier like this, we won’t know where he got the information.”
“That’s Okay. The western devils can’t find us anyway. “Their method of finding demons is nothing short of obscene.”
While the two were having that conversation.
“…flaw.”
Finally,
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehehehehe,” I endured with all my might for a really long time .
hahahahahahahaha!!”
Frontier burst out laughing.
Paul and Jeremy were speechless at the sight.
I wasn’t angry or funny. The two were just surprised.
How can a human who has been robbed of all his mana smile like that? Even if it is a bluff, it is unreasonable.
“Oh, that’s a relief.”
Frondier said and raised his head.
“what…?!”
A voice of astonishment comes out of Paul’s mouth.
The effects of mana loss are not felt at all on Frondeer’s face. Far from showing signs of fatigue, his face was almost the same as before he came here.
“Actually.”
Frontier takes off his bracelet. I leisurely put it down in its original place.
Paul and Jeremy just watched all the action. The two could not understand the scene before their eyes at all.
They are scientists before they are demons. If they deviate from the theories and systems they have learned, they will not be able to come to their senses for a while.
“I was worried that I was the only bad guy. I thought the demons knew my skills to some extent, but they were acting like they had no clue. “I was really thinking about what to do.”
Saying so, Frontier raises his right hand.
The black sky gathers above the hand and changes into a certain shape.
Once completed, it was the first item Frontier saw on display here.
“…What, how…”
Jeremy stutters, unable to understand at all.
As if accelerating the impact, the black cloth on Frondier’s right hand changes its appearance one after another into the next item.
“I’m glad you guys are bad guys. “Because he really is the devil.”
Even the slightest guilt that remained in Frondier’s heart disappeared.
For one extremely childish reason: they are also bad guys.
“…Nonsense!”
In the end, Paul’s cry of denying reality came out.
“There is no way a human who has been robbed of mana can be that healthy! No, you can’t even use a skill in the first place! Even if you use biological energy, it won’t be that leisurely!”
Paul’s words were correct.
Without mana, neither magic nor skills can be used. That is the main premise of this world. It’s literally talking about the foundation itself.
“You said it yourself.”
However, Frondier still leisurely changes the artifact in his right hand and
soon creates ‘Neil Jacques’ Shortsword’ and holds it in his hand.
“You guys don’t know anything about me.”
Frontier’s mana was clearly lost.
However, that is only limited to the mana of this world.
The reason this system doesn’t work for Jeremy and Paul is because they are evil.
Then, Frontier also has it.
It’s not the mana of this world.
Quaaaa-!
Frondier radiates all of its mana as if it has nothing more to hide.
It is ‘Helheim’s Mana’.
Paul and Jeremy take a step back. They spread their wings hidden behind their backs, but they do not feel ambitious, as if they are only for flight.
“It doesn’t make sense. How can a human lose mana?”
Of course, to the two who don’t know the situation, the sight of Frontier is just fear.
That look is really fun and enjoyable.
“Demons.”
Frontier laughs.
Having lost all human mana, he
was filled with Helheim’s mana.
“How do you guys distinguish between humans and demons?”
