At this moment, the ruby embedded in Astaludi's chest glowed faintly, giving off a bewitching charm.
In fact, once this gem appeared, it would indeed cause a lot of people to go crazy.
Rozen observed it with his Divine Eye and then nodded.
"It seems that the Philosopher's Stone is working well."
The Philosopher's Stone.
It was a substance that only existed in myths, like the Holy Grail that western alchemists had been pursuing for a long time.
Because it could be used to replace any substance in this world. If it was used by a skilled alchemist, it would become a divine artifact that could create everything.
Some people could use it to turn common base metals into precious metals, such as gold.
Some people could use it to create elixirs of immortality, allowing people to obtain eternal life.
It had many names, such as "Philosopher's Stone," "Stone from the Sky," "Golden Touch," "Gold and Silver Raw Material," "Red Potion," "Great Miracle," "Great Creation," "Fifth Element," and so on.
Alchemists had been pursuing this substance, believing that it was the result of reaching the pinnacle of alchemy. In various legends and myths, this stone often appeared in different forms, sometimes solid, sometimes liquid, and sometimes powder, but without exception, it had a blood-like luster.
In the Atlas Courtyard, there was a technique known as the Secret Art.
That was to create an ultimate memory medium known as the Philosopher's Stone, which could record almost infinite information.
The Philosopher's Stone created by this technology was also known as the Water of Life. Not only could it cure all pain, diseases, death, and even vampirism, but it was also a precious material for alchemists in Atlas Courtyard to develop various technologies and magic costumes.
For example, the Three-pointed Hermes used the Philosopher's Stone to record information. The seven weapons in Atlas Courtyard that were rumored to be able to destroy the world seven times also used the Philosopher's Stone as a material. From this, it could be seen how versatile and precious this alchemy material was.
It just so happened that Rozen obtained a Holy Relic that could bestow life and will in the previous world, Want Stone.
So, according to Atlas Hall's Alchemy inheritance and his research on the Philosopher's Stone, Rozen made a Philosopher's Stone that could provide a huge amount of vitality.
No, to be more precise, it should be said that the Stone of Life was made from the Philosopher's Stone.
The Stone of Life was embedded in Astarudi's body by Rozen, giving her almost unlimited life force. When she summoned her beast, the stone would pay the price, allowing Astarudi to use the beast's power at will.
As for how to attach it to Astaruti, that was not a problem for Rozen.
With his current level of Alchemy, it wasn't difficult for him to create an artificial life form that was better than Astaruti, let alone make such a small change to an artificial life form.
"I'll call it the Stone of Life."
Rozen observed the operation of the Stone of Life and said.
"After a while, this stone should be fully integrated into your body, and by then, no one can take it away. But I have set up a protective spell on it. Once it leaves your body, the Stone of Life will immediately shatter and turn into powder. Remember to be careful, Astaruti."
That was also to prevent the Stone of Life from being abused.
After all, once the Stone of Life fell into the hands of those with evil intentions, it should not be easy to duplicate it. Because Rozen didn't use the technology of this world, without the assistance of High Speed Thinking and Split Thinking, it would take hundreds of years to analyze its composition and manufacturing method, and there was even a high chance of failure. That was why Rozen wasn't worried about that. But if he wanted to use its vitality, it was very simple.
For example, if a human or demon obtained the Stone of Life, they would no longer need to worry about the problem of their beast devouring their lifespan. Like vampires, they could get great power, summon their beast from another world, and use them at will, which was very attractive to many people.
For example, there were some taboo rituals that were too powerful or even against the rules that required a living sacrifice, and the Stone of Life could be used as a substitute, replacing human life with a huge amount of vitality, so that the taboo ritual could be completed without much effort. Needless to say, the consequences would be disastrous.
For this reason, Rozen set up a protective spell on the Stone of Life. Once it left Astaruti's body, it would immediately self-destruct.
In this way, it could be regarded as foolproof.
"Command accepted."
It was unknown whether Astaruti understood what Rozen meant or not, but after hearing Rozen's words, she still nodded expressionlessly.
"Then I'll go out now. Please look after the house."
Only then did Rozen stood up.
"Have a safe trip, senpai."
Xia Yin bowed her head and saluted.
"Okay."
Rozen smiled and patted Xia Yin's head. Xia Yin was shy, but she didn't seem to resist at all. He then left the Nangong family.
"Happy New Year, senpai."
Shue Cai was already waiting in the elevator. When she saw Rozen came out of the Nangong House, she immediately saluted like Xia Yin.
"Happy New Year, sorry to keep you waiting."
Rozen was also used to Shue Cai's overly serious or old-fashioned side, so he didn't care too much about it and directly entered the elevator.
The two chatted for a while, and then entered the main topic as the elevator descended.
"So, where should we start the investigation?"
Shue Cai asked.
"What do you have in mind?"
Rozen didn't answer but asked such a question.
"Me?" Shue Cai said cautiously: "I have thought of getting information from Lion King Agency, so should I go to Lion King Agency's office on String God Island?"
"Then have you contacted them?"
Rozen continued to ask.
"I tried, but they didn't pick up. It should be because of the New Year?"
Shue Cai said with an uncertain expression.
Seeing this, Rozen curled his lips into a smile.
"That's a bit hard to say."
At least, Rozen didn't believe that the Lion King Agency's office on String God Island would take a break after his return.
They could only do their best to monitor Rozen and find out where Rozen had been in the past two months.
Thus, the reason why Lion King Agency didn't reply to Shue Cai was probably the same as Nakamura, they didn't want Rozen and Shue Cai to get involved.
Unfortunately, they could escape, but not the temple.
"Rather than looking for the person in charge of the office, it's better to look for your immediate superior."
Rozen said.
"Eh?"
Shue Cai was stunned.
Rozen's expression suddenly became full of thought.
