Chapter 118: Chapter 118 – Seed

“What are you doing now?”

Ciri went and got a stool to sit beside Joshua. He saw Joshua had placed his fingers on the Frost Elf's wrist.

“Feeling for her pulse.”

Joshua once again said something Ciri was unable to comprehend. But Ciri was disinclined to ask Joshua about it. Just like that, she sat there quietly waiting for Joshua to explain.

” you can consider it as a method of medical diagnosis from the Nation of Daxia,” said Joshua.

” You knew medical techniques from the Nation of Daxia?”

Ciri gradually discovered that this Demon Prince seemed to know too many things. it was one thing for him to have strange ideas from time to time, but the way he utilized his runes, those sequences he spoke of, was something completely unimaginable to any mage using the rune of order.

“I don't, I'm only using this method to examine the magic power in her body…”

Obviously, Joshua had never studied traditional Chinese medicine. But, he was still able to feel the conditions of this elf by touching her pulse.

But, before Joshua could figure out what was going on with this Frost Elf's magic power, he felt a sharp pain from his fingertips.

As if he had been shocked, Joshua pulled back his fingers from Tylene's wrist. A completely white thorn appeared on Tylene's wrist.

“A plant seed?”

Ciri noticed the Frost Elf was holding a seed in her hand. The sharp white thorn was extended from the seed.

......

“While I do not know where this seed came from, it seemed to possess its own awareness.”

Joshua moved his finger atop the seed. The sharp thorn followed the movement of his finger. It seemed as if the thorn will pierce Joshua again the moment he touched that Frost Elf.

Unfortunately, a plant's thorn was simply incapable of causing any harm to a Chaos Demon. Joshua's finger ended up landing on this apple-sized seed.

A great amount of white runes emerged on the surface of the seed. Dim magic was gathering in the seed. It seemed to be gathering its power to unleash some sort of attack against the person who dared touch it.

But, before it could summon more sharp thorns, the white runes were enveloped by a layer of faint gray mist.

The gray mist began to gradually nibble away at the seed's white runes.

Joshua immediately pulled his hand back and looked to the gray mist that enveloped the surface of the seed. A painful expression appeared on the Frost Elf's face.

“This is… your magic?”

Ciri recognized the source of the gray mist. Back then, it was those gray mist that rendered those mages completely powerless. That gray mist possesses great resemblance to the magic used by the Chaos Demons.

“No, that's not it. I'm unable to control that mist. But… it does resemble my magic.”

Joshua was certain that the gray mist on the surface of the seed was not the special chaos magic that Chaos Demons possess. But, that gray mist should possess some sort of connection with Chaos Demons.

Joshua began to search through the Third Prince's memory. But, even the Third Prince had not seen that gray mist before.

“Do you have any way to disperse it? If not, we'll have to get rid of the corpse of this elf.”

Back then, Ciri had suffered enormously from Joshua's special magic. She was also completely powerless to do anything about the gray mist on the seed. Likely, all the mages in Norland would be powerless to do anything about it.

“Dispersing it is likely going to be impossible. But, that seed seemed to be able to purify that gray mist by itself.”

Joshua was carefully observing the seed. He discovered that it seemed to possess the ability to contend against the gray mist. Even though the gray mist was nibbling away at the seed's surface runes, the seed was utilizing its dimly shining magic to resist the gray mist's erosion.

“Unfortunately… it is too weak.”

Joshua felt like he had found the reason why the Frost Elf fainted. The seed growing inside the Frost Elf was simply too weak. The amount of magic power it contained was pitifully lacking.

“Let me give it a try…”

With a wave of her hand, thirty-one runes appeared before Ciri. Those were all the runes she currently controlled. Among them were several runes that could combine to form 'links' and 'transmissions.'

Soon, Ciri's runes formed a 'Magic Link.' That spell was capable of transmitting her magic power to a designated target. Unfortunately, it was utterly inadequate to deal with this situation.

“What's with that thing? Its magic store is simply too enormous!”

Ciri was panting in exhaustion. She had poured a third of all her magic power into the seed. Yet, it failed to even leave a splash within the seed's magic capacity.

Moreover, that seed was not interested in Ciri's magic power at all. It only absorbed a very small portion.

After Ciri made her attempt, Joshua decided to brace the risk of being attacked by thorns to touch the seed again. When he did so, he discovered the seed was amount to contain an absurd amount of runes.

Although it had not reached an unlimited amount, it had enough capability to compute with. That was simply something that the other originium crystals were incapable of accomplishing.

After realizing the capability of the seed, Joshua immediately thought of that black cat…

Apart from that black cat, this seed was the 'originium crystal' with the greatest amount of capability Joshua has seen so far.

Furthermore, this was only a seed. This meant that it was possible for it to germinate in the future. This meant that its rune storage space had an enormous potential for growth.

Joshua immediately decided that he will use that seed as the server for his internet. Of course, in order to do so, he would have to help the seed survive first.

The gray mist was winning. It had practically corroded all of the runes on the surface of the seed.

“Since that gray mist is eroding the runes on the surface of this seed… it might be possible to restore those runes.”

The essential construction of the seed was very similar to an originium crystal. A rotating white cube appeared in Joshua's hand. The white cube contained the sequence for the chat box Joshua compiled.

Joshua avoided the thorn from the seed and stuffed the white cube into it. The outcome was unexpectedly good.

The runes on the seed's surface were immediately filled in. Practically no gaps were present anymore. The gray mist was also gradually disappearing.

When the gray mist disappeared completely, the Frost Elf remained unconscious on the bed. But, from her steady breathing, she should be asleep right now.

“Ciri, I might have to stay up all night tonight…”

Joshua doesn't know if a plant could believe in the God of Order. But, that seed managed to perfectly assimilate a rune sequence from the runes of order. Because of that, it would be a great vehicle for the server.

With the Frost Elf sleeping here, Joshua had no choice but to postpone his proper business.

“That's alright. I can sleep here,” said Ciri.
