"The above is the report of the Black Sacred Code Zeros. What do you think?" Raymond, the chief earth priest, asked.
In Raymond's personal meeting room, other than him, the priests of the Six-Color Holy Scriptures and the priests of the institute in charge of magic development were all here.
Although this lineup was not holding a regular monthly meeting, it was almost there. This time, Raymond suddenly summoned the chief priests from the Six-Color Holy Scriptures and the chief priests from the Institutional Research Institute, which showed how serious the problem was.
Although it seems that these chief priests are sitting together now, drinking tea and chatting, they all have frowned brows and serious expressions, except for the chief priest of Fire, Bernice, who looks like that no matter what.
Beyond the amiable smile.
"Then why are you talking about the duel between the child and Clementine now? You must know that the troops of the Fire Extinguishing Scripture will set off tomorrow, and I need Clementine's help here." Chief Vulcan.
Bernice spoke first.
"Banis, now is not the time to discuss this. Besides, isn't Clementine still fine? Just go ahead as planned," Raymond said.
"Then what do you want to convey by calling us here?" Bernice continued to ask as if she didn't understand at all.
"That's it, I would like to ask you all to express your opinions on the outcome of the duel between the child and Clementine, as well as Clementine's development of new magic." Raymond explained clearly helplessly.
At first, when we saw Roche Bain, the priest of the Institutional Research Institute, who was only seen at regular monthly meetings, everyone basically had some idea.
"I don't think that kid will lose to Clementine. I'm afraid it's just a tie, and then Clementine will brag about it!" Light God Chief Ion said.
He knew the child's strength very well. Let alone the great demon king Ainz Ooal Gown himself, there was no reason why his daughter Clementine could defeat her.
"Then how do you explain the child's abnormal behavior these days?" Dark Priest Maximilian asked.
This priest is directly responsible for the management and care of Jue Die Jue Ming. Every move of Jue Die Jue Ming will be reported to him. Maximilian also reported to Raymond the unusual behavior of Jue Die Jue Ming in the past few days.
However, combined with Jellos' report, it is obvious that JueDeDe lost.
"This doesn't mean that the child lost to Clementine!" Ion still refused to accept the fact that Jue Die was defeated.
After all...if the last hope, Death and Death, cannot even defeat the daughter of the great demon Ainz Ooal Gown, then humanity really has no hope.
"Accept the reality! Lord Ion, I know it is difficult for you to accept it, but now everyone almost unanimously believes that there is no point in you persisting. This time I summoned all the adults here, first of all, I want to make this matter
Let everyone know and give everyone some space to think. Until the next regular meeting, I can only rely on the adults to think of any effective methods." Raymond said.
"Hey! Do you all think so?" Ion looked at the other chief priests in confusion. The other chief priests didn't reply. They all looked silent. Seeing everyone else doing this, Ion himself
It’s hard to say anything.
Although the problem has been left to others, who can come up with a solution? The strongest ace has been defeated, and the one who defeated her is not the big devil. This has basically cut off the direct confrontation with the Sorcerous Kingdom.
It's a possibility. If you can't even defeat that kid, who else can defeat him on the frontal battlefield?
"But judging from Jaros's description and the child's condition today, at least Clementine is not capable of killing her directly in a duel, so we still have hope." Raymond looked at everyone's lifeless expressions.
So he said something to comfort everyone.
After all, Jue De Jue Ming was fully armed and went out. With the child's temper, he would definitely fight to the death with Clementine. However, after the duel, the child did not show any side effects of receiving the resurrection magic. This
It means that the child was not killed and resurrected in that duel.
In this way, it is still possible to use tactics or more powerful secret treasures, and it is also possible to come back, although this is just Raymond's own wishful thinking.
"Then... there's one more thing. Please take a look at what Jaros brought back." Seeing that no one else had anything to say, Raymond took out Jaros and "smoothly" took it out of Clementine's room.
What he took out was a very strange thing, a small piece of metal with an irregular shape that was only the size of the fingernail of a little finger.
This small piece of metal fragment was passed among the priests for observation, and finally fell into the hands of Rochebein of the Institutional Research Institute.
"This is said to be a fragment produced by Clementine when she was developing new magic. According to Jellos' description, the body of this fragment looks very much like a cup made of mithril. I also asked someone to identify this fragment.
It is indeed a mithril fragment." Raymond continued to explain.
"Mithril..." When Rochebain got the fragment, he already knew that it was a mithril fragment.
After all, I have been dealing with these things all year round. Mithril is a metal that has strong resistance to magic and also takes into account hardness. As the person in charge of a magic development agency, of course I am very familiar with this.
"Ask a question, did Geros say what the magic developed by Clementine is called?" Rochebain asked. As a magic developer, the naming of a new magic can directly explain the effect and effect of a magic.
effect.
"It has been mentioned, it seems to be called by Clementine, internal blasting...It is said that it is still in the development stage." Raymond said.
"Are you starting... the development stage?" Rochebain's face suddenly turned bad, and others naturally noticed it.
"Is there any question? Lord Rochebain." Raymond asked on behalf of everyone.
"The characteristic of mithril is that it has resistance to magic that ordinary metals do not have, and it also takes into account good hardness. Therefore, mithril is often used as the main material of high-level armor or weapons. Normal magic must break through mithril armor.
Magic resistance is basically based on other additional effects caused by magic, such as fire blast. The magic effect of fire blast itself cannot cause any damage to mithril equipment, but the high heat generated will still have an effect.
Because of the mithril equipment itself, people equipped with mithril equipment will still be burned to death by the magic of fire blast." Rochebain explained to others why he was so surprised.
"But... this is the first time I have seen the magic that directly destroys mithril from its internal structure." Rochebain held the mithril fragment in his hand and raised it for everyone to see.
"There can be such irregular damage lines, and it can't be done by external factors of magic alone. The magic developed by Clementine is just like the name she gave to the magic. It is directly used
The magic power interacts with the inside of Mithril, directly destroying its structure, so it is broken into pieces like this." Rochebain continued.
Almost everyone here is a high-ranking magic caster or warrior, and almost all of them understand how strong the magic resistance of mithril equipment is.
However, the magic that directly acts on the inside of the metal and destroys it can even destroy mithril like this, and it is still an unfinished version. If she were to complete it, it would be such a destructive magic!
"What also surprises me is that such a terrifying magic was actually developed by her alone." Rochebein continued.
Originally, the development of magic was not something that could be done casually by just one person. The institutions and research institutes under his jurisdiction and the subordinate staff totaled hundreds of people. However, with the joint efforts of these hundreds of people, within a few years or ten years,
It may take several years to develop a magic that can be used safely, but Clementine is developing magic alone.
"To put it this way, I remember that when Black Sacred Scripture Jeroos reported his first encounter with her in Wu Da Forest, he reported that she used magic that he had never seen before, not all of them.
Did she develop it herself?" Dominic, who had remained silent, said.
"The last time we had her fight against the Black Sacred Scripture, she was able to use teleportation within the anti-teleportation barrier. I'm afraid it was the teleportation magic she developed herself." Sinedin also recalled the time when he watched her fight against the Black Sacred Scripture.
, the teleportation in the anti-teleportation world happened, and some of the ice magic she used that time was something she had never seen before.
"Fortunately...she is one of ours now." Baynis said with lingering fear, probably remembering how she beat all six members of the Black Scripture team to the ground by herself.
"But no matter what, she is still the daughter of Ainz Ooal Gown! This is undeniable! One day that guy will recover his memory and become our enemy!" Dominic said very unhappy.
"Not necessarily, even if she returns to normal she won't necessarily be our enemy," Sinedin said.
"Huh? Lord Sinedine? What do you mean?" Raymond was very curious as to why Lord Sineding, the most virtuous and respected person in the Six-Color Sacred Scripture, would say this.
"Originally, I wanted to sort this out before presenting it to you. Since I mentioned it... let me reveal a little bit about it. The Suiming Canon has already encountered a group of adventurers in the village of Karn outside Elandir.
We have a team of investigators and got quite important information from them," Schineding said.
"Important information?" Not only Raymond, but also everyone else's curiosity was aroused by Sinedine.
"Yes, the adventurer team that lives in seclusion in Karn Village is the team that was once hired by the Empire to invade Ainz Ooal Gown's lair and successfully survived!" Sinedin continued.
"What... this is an important discovery! Why didn't they be invited to the Theocracy?" Raymond beamed with joy and continued to ask.
"They can't leave because they are cursed and cannot leave the sphere of influence of Elandir." Sinedin continued.
"It's cursed? What's going on?" Others were very surprised, why is there another curse?
"Don't worry! Listen to me slowly." Sinedine then told the whole story of how the team met Clementine, how they were in trouble, and how they were rescued by Clementine.
