The Order Of Golden Roses - Chapter 12 The East Village
The skies were already high by the time we reach the eastern parts of the kingdom as I blast my way through the forests to avoid patrolling knight and taking a detour.
I have stored the vehicle back and was walking to the entrance of the village. A man with a spear was guarding it. I cloaked myself, and get past the gate. I’m sure he will become suspicious of me if I talk to him.
Man, I still need to walk after the entrance to the village. Then, I thought the result of the previous experiment. Creating homunculus was almost the same as creating a flash clone.
it was done by creating numerous body parts even nerves through thaumaturgy branch alchemy by combining human cell, and numerous alchemy ingredients, it was like arranging complex puzzle rather than through medical way by using cloned human embryo and then just let it grow inside a tank.
So far, it was like playing god. After the body or the vessel was done I need to “breathe” life through it by conducting a ritual. I have successfully created 5 vessels with only 2 vessels survived the ritual while the other disintegrating due to some defect or incompatibilities. Interestingly, the moment the soul got infused some magic circuit also manifested inside the vessels though I have created it when “arranging” it before.
I remembered Doctor Halsey method of cloning when I read the halo book, she successfully created intact memories to be implanted into a flash clone of Spartan candidate when she kidnapped and replaced them with it.
Does it mean the flash-clone will have an identical soul with the original or the soul will be another one with just the same memories? So I went the same process as Doctor Halsey and created a clone of me.
Sadly, when I grasp the soul of the flash-clone, it just another soul with the same memories then I went to kill it before it suffered. Ah, here I thought I will have some easy power-up. You know like the FGO method of fusing two servants card to create stronger noble phantasm, I read that through an instruction manual.
The other two homunculi? They have blank-slate memories inside an adult body with sufficient knowledge I uploaded when performing the ritual. And well, I send them back into Akasha once again. It was too sad! When I knew their lifespan was only 2 years.
Well, next time, I will use high-quality ingredients and maybe magic core to create the next homunculus—And yeah, basically I was having too much fun playing god and forgot my original objective. Well, forget that! I will create my own personal Frankenstein-chan to fluff I mean to satisfy my scientific curiosity, yeah that one.
I break my musing when I noticed I have arrived in the village. Well, it was your typical medieval farming village with stone building and thatch as a roof. I can see wheat fields as far as my eyes could see, with some pasture and ranch. Also, don’t forget animals dropping beside the roads. Ow, fu*k that was gross when I accidentally stepped on it.
A young woman walked past beside me, she was wearing a large witch hat with black scholar robes and yellow scarf with a turquoise skirt, she was carrying a basket I presumed some herbs and flowers inside it.
“I’m sorry Miss, do you happen to know this woman?” I asked her.
“Ara, what a cute kid doing here?” what! Did she get past my concealment? I instantly grasp at her, extremely high magical reading, maxed level but how! Then I winced in horror when she lowered herself and pinch both my cheek “Mou! onee-chan I was asking why you suddenly” I speak incoherently as she squeezed my cheek and smiled sweetly at me.
“Haha, I’m sorry I can’t hold it when I noticed a sweet young boy before Me.” as much as I loved a night stand with a blonde young onee-san I haven’t reached my puberty yet!
Then she stopped her previous action, “what were you asking?” she inquired me
“Well, do you happen to know this lady” she was easily the strongest person I ever met in this world, but the most frightening thing was her magical reading, she could easily rival top-tier servant in term of magical capacity.
“Ah, this is granny roc address. It’s shameful for me since I couldn’t help her” she stated solemnly
“What do you mean nee-chan?” okay, this is getting ominous
“Actually in the past month, her condition got worsened since she was contracted with Mana exhaustion due to mana organ malfunction because of that her life force was progressively reduced to supplement her exhausted mana.”
it is a fact, that this world denizen didn’t have a magical circuit to constantly supplement them with Od or life force, instead, they have some kind of magical organs which supplement them with mana rather than Od, in turn, they can’t absorb mana in the air. But, I noticed it was not actually they didn’t have a magical circuit but they didn’t know how to open it, and with mana organ, it makes it harder to detect magical circuit.
She continued “And as a medical expert in here, I can only prolong her life with some medicine and mana transfer. Sigh, what a failure of a witch I am —ah, sorry I ended up vent my frustration” she chuckled emptily.
“No, it’s fine nee-chan though can you tell me where her house is?” she suddenly leaped at me and embraced me into her bosom.
“Kyaa!!! What with those puppy eyes! Nee-chan will take you even into the deepest dungeon!” okay, F*ck you!! stupid shota gene!! Still, not bad –warm, soft yet firm, her chest was not that big but I can feel it has a perfect shape I thought deeply as she rubbed my hair with her chin.
I noticed some passer-by started to grew around us, “nee-chan, this is embarrassing…”
“Oh! sorry, usually I could hold my impulses —well forget that let me take you to her house” she stood up and brushed her skirt as we walked and enjoyed the scenery.
As we walked she opened up a conversation, “well when you think about, I don’t know your names yet”
“Just call me Will nee-chan”
“All right will just call me Azusa, Will, I don’t mind if you call me nee-chan –no, it’s much better that way!” her name was surprisingly eastern despite her western appearances, with her blue eyes and a long blonde hair.
As we talked like this, we have arrived at the granny roc house.
