Lily opened her mouth to say sothing but decided to stay quiet in the end.
The reason why Lily stopped talking when she was about to say sothing to Laura was because she realized that if she spoke words of comfort, she would burden Laura’s heart.
It occurred to that in the ga, the First Princess was supposed to have died in the attack on the royal capital. Certainly, that would have saved from feeling guilty in the ga. In comparison, the real world was a pain in the neck. Haah.
“So do a favor, Mazell.” (Welner)
“I’ll take care of it.” (Mazell)
Mazell was not so dull that he couldn’t understand what I was about to say. Perhaps what Mazell was the dullest about was the other party’s affection for him. He was simply living the trope of an old video ga character.
“Now then, let’s talk about the results of the survey.” (Uwe)
Once again, old man Uwe was sketchy. I appreciated that he changed the subject because it would have been complicated if this conversation had continued, but he sure was a blunt old man, wasn’t he? No, maybe he was still paying attention to this.
“From what I’ve heard, the Heavenly King who attacked the royal capital is injured, and I’d like to launch a follow-up attack, but there are so things I need you to confirm…” (Uwe)
“Yes, that’s right. But how should I explain it?” (Welner)
It was a concept that did not exist in this world, after all. After thinking for a mont, I decided to speak.
“Do you know the idea of Prima Materia?” (Welner)
“Prima Materia?” (Uwe)
“If you look at this world in detail, basically, everything is made up of the sa material, which is the rule of Prima Materia.” (Welner)
In my previous life, that would be a subject of research for a particle physicist. To be honest, I didn’t know much about physics. Besides, the first roots of alchemy, the primordial matter, Prima Materia, would probably be more correct to be involved in this world. I may know sothing about it, but that didn’t an that I was an expert in alchemy.
The concept of Prima Materia in alchemy was that animals, plants, and the universe were all created from the sa raw material. In other words, the most obvious property of Prima Materia was being able to change its form and beco whatever was defined by the alchemist as long as that material existed in the world.
Under this concept, if you make clay into the shape of a cat and define it as “cat,” it would start walking and purring. This should be the origin of the idea of homunculus and so on.
Of course, this was not possible in my previous life.
“To explain this very taphorically, first of all, there is water in the reservoir.” (Welner)
“Yes.” (Uwe)
“If you put this water in a round container, the water becos round, and if you put it in a square container, the water becos square.” (Welner)
I know it was a rough explanation, but I couldn’t find any other way to describe it. Anyway, as he nodded his head, I went on with my story.
“And different kinds of materials can be used as containers or vessels. Like wood, for example. If water is poured into a wooden vessel, the water will keep its shape, but if it is a container made of salt, it would be dissolved by water and would rge with it.” (Welner)
“Vanishing” without a “vessel” was a statent made by the person who called herself Juliane. In short, without a vessel of so kind, the “soul” could not maintain its state or existence.
Conversely, even monsters were essentially composed of Prima Materia, the first ingredient of this world.
Mubrial’s action of creating a monster stone after absorbing monster materials may have been to return the body to Prima Materia and remake it into a new monster stone. The question of how he could have done that, however, was sothing I didn’t know.
“You an to say that the magic fla doesn’t last for a long ti because it dissolves into the world?” (Uwe)
“Saying ‘returning to the world’ or ‘overwritten by the world’ would be more accurate, I would say, but that’s generally what I an.” (Welner)
Perhaps the vessels that existed in the world, human beings and minerals alike, would last a long ti. On the other hand, if a vessel was created with a “spell” and Prima Materia was poured into it, the vessel would not last long.
If you put Prima Materia in a vessel called a magic stone or a magic tool, it would last longer than if you cast a spell.
I imagine that the lifespan they have in this world would be the limit of the vessel. A scratch on a vessel could be repaired, but a vessel that had reached the limit of its ti could not be repaired any more regardless. Just like why recovery magic did not work on aging, the sa could be said to the limits of a vessel that was affected by the rules of this world.
When I explained this, Lily asked, “Water made with magic won’t disappear, can you explain what is going on with that?”
“There’s no way to find out currently, but I think it simply is a result of the world not identifying water created by Prima Materia as real water as it lacked impurities and thus not modifying its existence.” (Welner)
“Yes… Hmmm…..” (Uwe)
The air created by the wind magic tool was a mix of certain gasses at the mont when it was still contained within the bag, but it gradually changed when it was overwritten by the rules of this world as if to declare to the artificially created air by magic, ‘This is how an atmosphere should be.’
On the other hand, when it ca to water, even if what was created was 100% pure water (H20), unlike normal water, it could only be perceived as a tasteless unhealthy liquid as it lacked minerals in the form of impurities. Thus this world didn’t recognise it as water at all and didn’t override its existence.
Soil may start out as a standard mix of certain minerals, but I suspect that it would gradually beco one with the surrounding soil. If there were microscopes in this world, we could have experinted with soil, but I have never seen a microscope in this world.
I think the reason why magic fire was overwritten by the world was that it may break the balance of this world if it was allowed to exist forever like water etc.
Anyway, regarding one’s existence, the rules of this world still apply to them as the top priority. Even the self-proclaid Juliane was unable to escape that rule and in the end, her existence was also dissolved into this world.
