...
After Roland and the mortal woman left, Agatha heaved a sigh of relief.
"Did I say too much just now?" "Maybe I should be more kind to this lord after 400 years, even if he is a mortal." Although she thought so, she still did not like people other than witches to step into the laboratory where she was about to start making Sigil, and she did not want His Majesty to know how to make Sigil.
Of course, she would not be able to keep this a secret for long.
Agatha turned around, laid out the six square wooden boxes that she had prepared in the morning, and put the God's Stones of Retaliation collected by His Majesty into them.
This was the template for making the base of the Sigil.
She needed to make four Sigil of Listening, one Sigil of Screaming, and one Sigil of Insight.
Just as she expected, His Majesty did not choose a Sigil for a weapon. Instead, he chose a basic Sigil based on the Magic Stones he had obtained. In the Quest Society, it would have been a waste to use the high-quality Magic Stones left by the Magic Slayer for the Sigil of Shriek and the Sigil of Insight.
Now that Roland had powerful firearms, he naturally did not need a Sigil of Weapons as much as before.
Not to mention that the more powerful the Sigil, the higher the demand for magic power.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"It seems that I need a few servants in addition to a research tower." Agatha reluctantly put down the Magic Stones in her hand and opened the wooden door.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Is there anything else..."
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Agatha."
"Well, do you need me to treat the demon again?"
This time it was Anna and Nana who came in... They were also the assistants she had requested from Roland.
"No... ahem," she corrected herself. "You came just in time. I've just finished the screening. Put the remaining materials into the box, and then we can officially start making."
...
When the blue blood flowed into the wooden box through the coated tube, the God's Stone underwent a wonderful change.
The two blended together and produced a series of bubbles. The hard stone was like a burning candle, and the water chestnut turned into a viscous liquid that flowed down, followed by the God's Stone itself.
The demon seemed to realize what they were doing and used the last of its strength to struggle. Unfortunately, it was useless under the iron chains.
Soon, the six boxes were filled with the blood of the Mad Demon. The first box that was filled with the blood seemed to be boiling. The surging liquid mixed fine sand, mercury, and God's Stones together, looking thick and turbid.
Anna carefully observed their changes. "Does the quality of the Sigil have anything to do with the raw materials?"
"Yes, it mainly depends on the God's Stone of Retaliation and the Magic Blood. The Quest Society believes that magic transforms the body in all aspects. The physical fitness of Senior Witches is obviously better than that of ordinary witches, and the Transcendents have reached the limit in this regard. In order to improve the effect of the Sigil, the best Sigil would be made from the blood of powerful demons and the best God's Stones. For example, Lady Alice's God's Punishment Sigil was made from the blood of a dying Magic Slayer on the battlefield. "
"Is it the same when a witch's blood fuses with a God's Stone?"
"It's not the same. Magic Stones won't melt like candles, and the reaction won't be as intense. The liquid that forms is as clear as water and can flow freely. But the demon's blood will eventually solidify and become as hard as a stone. " As Agatha spoke, she put a partition panel into the wooden box. "Therefore, the process of making a Sigil is similar to smelting metal. Before it completely solidifies, the Magic Stone must be put in and the most important step must be completed — connecting the magic vein."
"Vein?" Anna asked curiously. "Like a plant?"
Agatha nodded. "Do you remember what I said before? The Quest Society believes that only life can carry magic power. Without this step, the Sigil is just a dead thing. The Magic Stone is still an individual, and it won't combine to produce incredible power. "
"Can the Demon's Blood give these ordinary substances... life?" She asked in surprise.
"It's not enough to rely on the demons alone," Agatha said calmly. "You have to add the witches' blood."
Nana covered her mouth in shock.
"The Quest Society discovered this secret by accident. When the blood of witches and demons is mixed, it can produce a strange effect. The melted God's Stone remains in a 'fresh' state, just like a plant. Even if it is left for a long time, the vein will not lose the blessing of magic power... I don't know how to describe it. In short, you'll understand after you watch. "
The liquid in the first box had calmed down and was covered with a layer of gray light. It looked like blue wax after it had condensed.
Agatha took out the panel, leaving two hemispherical grooves and a shallow strip-shaped groove in the box. Then she picked up a knife on the table and cut her wrist — bright red blood instantly gushed out and filled half of the wine glass. She gestured to the little girl and said, "Help me heal the wound."
This was the reason why Agatha chose these two.
Anna was the witch with the best learning ability in the Union and was suitable to inherit this skill. On the other hand, Nana could effectively relieve her pain — in Taquila, healing witches were the main force in the frontline and could not be assigned to the Quest Society. Most of the time, after bleeding in the laboratory, they could only use herbs to treat their wounds.
If Roland Wimbledon had not shown her the hope of defeating the demons and had no prejudice against witches, she would have rather buried the method of making Sigil. Even in the Union, most people could not accept the fact that the blood of witches could be perfectly mixed with the demons. Even after she came into contact with this matter, she once had doubts about the origin of witches. This confusion was very disadvantageous to the Battle of Divine Will, so the making of Sigil was one of the secrets that the members of the Quest Society had to keep.
This was also the reason why she did not want His Majesty to participate in the Battle of Divine Will.
Especially in this era, there were still rumors that witches were the minions of the demons who had seduced the demons.
Even if he would find out sooner or later, Agatha still hoped that it would be a little later.
She sighed to herself and thought, "Maybe this is also a kind of self-deception."
When the mixture was half hard, Agatha forcefully inserted the Magic Stone into the groove and poured the warm blood into it. The red blood flowed in the shallow groove, and the surrounding blue blood clots began to squirm. The edges of the two gradually blurred, forming a state of mutual penetration.
Then she infused magic into the Sigil.
In an instant, the red blood lines emitted a subtle light. Countless light spots flowed on the veins, and with the surrounding squirming, they expanded and shrank rhythmically, as if they were breathing.
Anna and Nana simultaneously understood what Agatha meant.
