Chapter 276 Strongest Sage, Becomes Cooperator
" . . . I see! Simply mixing mixing human personalities together was a fool"s errand wasn"t it!"
"That"s that . . . In other words, the next experimental body will surely succeed . "
"『Composite Test Body No . 1』 was a failure! But . . . The next one will definitely be a hiiiit!"
Looks like these guys are still h.e.l.lbent on continuing their experiment .
We can"t have them resurrect more weird bunch, they need to be stopped--but we need to find where they are first .
『I guess we"ll be looking for these guys next . . . 』
『 . . . Trying to find them looks like it"ll be a pain . . . 』
. . . [Warmongers] weren"t that hard to find since Grevil had a rough idea about their location and they had a trap quest posted .
However, searching for guys who merely hide themselves while doing some questionable things is a tall order .
Unlike demons, they don"t have peculiar waves of mana after all .
『Can"t you trace back that comm magic tool?』
『 . . . Unfortunately, they"ve put a countermeasure in it already . 』
I look at the comm magic tool .
A great many magic to conceal the transmission"s origin have been installed in it .
Our opponents aren"t magic researchers in name only it seems .
Their knowledge in combat may be crude, but the fact that they were able to create living things that combined [Supranatural Art] and magic is a testament to their highly advanced magic techs .
And this comm magic tool employs a similar level of techs .
Even if tracing back could be done, it would probably take many years to complete .
『Then . . . How do we look for them?』
『Right . . . How about asking directly . 』
I talk toward the comm magic .
"Oy, can I have a sec?"
" . . . What is it? The experiment is over . I"m calling off if there"s no more data to get . "
"We need to move on to our next experiment . No time to deal with partic.i.p.ants . "
Just as Anmorr brothers were about to call off the transmission, I talked to them .
In order to offer my cooperation in their experiments .
"It"s about that experiment . . . To tell you the truth, I was. .h.i.t by an urge to help further development of magic . Could you let me be a sparring partner in your next experiment?"
" . . . Sparring partner?"
"Yeah . It was me who defeated 『Composite Test Body No . 1』 . Won"t you get better data if you let me fight the next test subject as well?"
If I got to be a sparring partner in their experiments, these guys would lead me to their test site even if I did nothing .
There"s no easier method to look for enemies .
The problem is whether they"d fall for it-- .
『 . . . Eh? Sparring partner?』
『There"s no way they"d buy something like--』
The girls murmured to hear me .
But . . . The other party had something else in mind .
"Fine . We appreciate your cooperation . "
『He bought it!?』
Alma sounded surprised to hear the elder Anmorr brother .
The little brother seemed to be surprised as well .
" . . . Can we really trust these guys!? The next opponent of [Composite Test Body No . 1] must be someone full of spirit of inquiry towards magic!"
. . . Full of spirit of inquiry toward magic huh .
I never would have imagined someone would say that about me after reincarnating .
