Chapter 336. Water is life (3) Pena, who was listening to our conversation while looking for something on the bookshelf, was startled.
I must have been quite surprised to hear the word failure myself.
“Arel, you say that you are a failure, and why are you saying…
” “I also make simple mistakes. Well, rather than a mistake, I just made it moderately, but I wanted to regret it because there was nowhere to use it.”
It is an embarrassing memory from the past.
The water purifier is now just stuck in a corner of the Fahilia warehouse.
In fact, I thought of a household water purifier not to use in my estate, but to install it in my mother’s palace.
It’s because I saw wizards purifying the water I drank when I was young and thought that would be inconvenient.
Of course, the completed water purifier was presented to the palace where the mother is staying, and it is being operated normally.
It even comes with ice!
The problem is…
“That didn’t have much merit…
” “It’s less troublesome for a wizard.”
Dia also showed a subtle reaction as she looked at me complaining.
“I tried to make a magic tool to purify water, but it didn’t work.”
“Ah, yes.”
Pena said as if agreeing.
From the wizard’s point of view, chores were reduced, so it might be a little more comfortable.
But that’s about it.
In the first place, purification magic did not consume that much mana.
Of course, it would be quite difficult even with Dia’s own magical power to purify the lake unit area.
However, purifying the amount of water for an individual to drink only takes as much effort as lifting a bucket of water at best.
So will it be popular?
Even the purified result is no different from the one purified by the wizard.
Even if there is an alternative, it proves that it is meaningless if there is no overwhelming merit.
In the end, the one used in the mother’s palace is just used to prevent anyone from playing with the water.
The price was also an issue.
“It’s for home use, but it wasn’t for home use at all…
I’m trying to apply the theory of magic technology and filtration technology together, so the basic cost is bound to be slightly higher.
It’s not a burden for ordinary people to buy.
First of all, they tried to check the demand, but they were not attracted to household water purifiers.
In a city where the lord is a little strong, the wizards purify a large amount of water and even sell it, so there’s no big difference from that, so I was amused.
Accordingly, we decided to stop our water purifier development project and forget about it by putting it in a warehouse.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m trying to make it a little more certain at this point.”
Admit mistakes.
Yes, it wasn’t a household water purifier.
“The concept was wrong in the first place. At that time, I was just moderately bothered, so I only thought about household water purifiers.”
“???? then?”
I opened a new drawing to Dia who was puzzled.
It’s just something I did a little while ago.
“???? this is?!”
“wow??????
Dia and Pena reacted a little surprised.
“Yeah, it should have been like this in the first place.”
From the beginning, why did I only think of household water purifiers?
That was a misjudgment.
Even countries make mistakes.
So I changed my mind.
Miniaturization and personalization of everything is not the answer.
“It is to devise a water source purification supply facility at the city or village level.”
Sometimes there are times when you need to scale up.
If you can’t do it as an individual, you can raise it as a group.
“Let it go. Are you going to elicit a very good response this time?”
Recalling the mistakes of the past, I grinned and hurriedly shouted again.
I will definitely drink this water for everyone.
That’s how I started seriously considering how to feed everyone.
After that, we started designing large-scale water purification devices for cities or villages in earnest.
The basic frame was to develop the theory of the water purifier that had been applied before, and then devised it in earnest.
“Hmm… But I wonder if there’s a limit to just increasing the size.”
The first thing to think about is to supply an amount of water that can be covered by drinking water or living water from the village scale to the city scale, not the scale of the existing personal water purifier.
Or, in the case of a country without water, a device that can supply water.
I am reviewing it in two directions.
“Do I have to tear everything apart?????
As I twirled the pen around, I thought that this, too, would require quite a bit of brainstorming.
The water purifier designed before was a type of water purifier that applied a special filter processed here and a purification magic circle.
But that alone isn’t enough to make it large.
The biggest problem is water purification efficiency.
This is because it is necessary to apply a different principle to purify a large amount of water at once.
If you raise a magic circle and a ceremony… well, that’s not enough.
If you raise it more than this, the wizard will have to supply mana separately for operation.
also lacking
It needs to be designed with some additional elements added.
“I can’t add more magic formulas.
If that’s the case, you’ll need a bigger magic stone. Consumption is also fast. And filters aren’t perfect either.”
Getting clean water is so hard.
It is true that water quality is a measure of the progress of civilization.
“As expected, that’s it…
Then there’s just the right thing at the moment.
Yes, that would certainly solve the water quality problem further.
In addition, it may be possible to solve the problem of supplying water, not simply for the purpose of water purification.
still me
I convinced myself and quickly devised the remaining blueprints.
I’m sure there will be no one writing this theory on the continent yet.
I was so sure
Of course, to use it… you need the cooperation of one person.
well that’s no big deal
huh.
Because there’s no way she wouldn’t listen to me.
I think there is no problem.
* * *
Just like that, I ran to her and immediately asked with a big smile.
“So that’s why Pena? Why don’t you make a contract with just one more spirit?”
“???? to?”
When I asked for this out of the blue, Pena made a face that seemed completely incomprehensible.
She put down the book she was reading and put on a puzzled expression.
“Arel? Sudden Jeongsu… What are you talking about as soon as you come out after being locked up all the time making something?”
“Ah… yes, I have to explain that first.”
People around me are so smart that if I pretend, they will understand me, so I sometimes forget.
okay. I need to explain.
Because conversation is what matters.
“Actually, animism is needed to develop the city-level water purifier. That’s why I want you to call me just one.”
“government ordinance?”
As Pena tilted her head, she fell on the table! A salamander sprang out, spitting out embers.
no you are not go away.
I waved my hands.
“It is not a fire spirit. A water spirit.”
“…I’ve never signed a contract like that.”
“That’s why we want to sign a contract for one more dog. How simple is it?”
Pena is showing the same reaction as someone who has heard all-time bullshit for the first time in a while.
“no way? it’s possible Aren’t there any spirits that have recently contracted?”
Obviously, in the last two years, Pena did not sign a contract with a new spirit.
And it’s not like she neglected her training due to her personality.
Obviously, the affinity must have made more progress than before.
So you can definitely call it.
I’m so sure
“Can’t we just call the person who signed the contract with the water spirit?”
“It doesn’t matter, but I don’t really like it.”
Of course, it’s not a realistic reason that it’s annoying to call.
Absolutely there is a reason.
“I’m going to use the power of the water spirit to make a water purifier. It’s a bit dangerous for anyone to use the power of the elemental magician to use at that time.”
“Dangerous?”
“It’s a device that purifies water. What if someone could intervene at will?”
“Ah… that’s it.”
Pena seemed to understand at first glance.
Even in a modern civilized society where water purification facilities are naturally equipped, it is necessary to defend them as a top priority.
Water is literally directly related to life.
If you play with evil intentions there, it will lead to a big accident.
The key to this device is that the fewer people know, the better.
Of course, there are many other Elementalists I can trust, but there are few people involved, and the more people next to me, the better.
That’s why I want Pena to help if possible.
“huh? So, call one water spirit and make a contract with me.”
“…Yes, I’d like to listen to Arell’s request.”
However, Pena still had a question in her mouth as if wondering if something was difficult to understand.
“But can I only summon the water spirit?”
“Theoretically, it is possible.”
It is true that Pena has a high probability of summoning the fire spirit, as she has done in the past.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a chance to call a water spirit or another elemental spirit.
There are a total of 7 elemental spirits in this place.
However, among them, the 4 basic element fire, water, wind and earth spirits can be summoned in common, only depending on the individual’s inclination.
As for the other three attributes, the conditions are difficult, so this would be impossible for Pena.
I don’t even want to teach the conditions that much.
In other words, the probability that Pena will pick up the water spirit is not zero.
It’s faint, but there is also a chance to pick up water or other elemental spirits.
The problem is that the odds are low.
“…What does that mean over there?”
My clever wife broke into a cold sweat after hearing the explanation up to this point.
will be noticed
The way to draw the water spirit I suggest.
That’s right.
I laughed and nodded my head.
“You can call me until they come out.”
If you pull it out, it will come out someday.
Unless the probability is zero, it will come out someday.
Pena, who understood my simple ignorant yet astounding method, swallowed dryly.
It’s an expression of sincerity.
yes i’m serious
If you want something, pull it out until it comes out.
What is that but an indomitable spirit that never changes in human history?
So, Pena and I started preparing to draw the water spirit we wanted.
The place was decided to use the training room Pena used in the past.
It was good that I left it on purpose.
Draw camp on the floor and prepare the items needed to summon the spirit one by one.
It is a minor trick to increase the success rate.
“… and reminds me of the past.”
Looking back at the scene in the prepared room, Pena murmured as if deeply moved.
“Ah, have you ever taught like this before?”
I remembered too.
After all, it wasn’t that long ago.
What is the difference between then and now: She ??????
Now we’re about to start doing some crazy shit.
“Okay, there is no error in the drawn summoning circle.”
Since the mercury purified for ritual use was painted with a processed liquid, pure mana would pass through it just as it is.
“And today this one!”
And voila!
What I held out was a strange stone of transparent color.
“ah!”
Pena was also surprised when she recognized what this was and clapped happily.
“Is it a spirit stone?”
“It’s fake, but it is.”
A counterfeit spirit stone I used when I gave a spirit magic lecture to Pena in the past.
That’s it.
“I will use this to summon.”
“You haven’t used it before?”
“At that time, it was only for training. If possible, it would have been better to succeed in summoning with only your qualities.
But today is different.”
