Even if all the power inside it is consumed, it will slowly recover on its own.

Although it may take some time.

Oh, you're here.

Is there something you need? Yua, who was toying with the fingersized philosopher<unk>'s stone in her hand, turned to look at the small exclamation from Ras and noticed it was her and sloth.

Seeing them, Yua couldn't help but smile and greet them.

Lord Yua, we have something we want to discuss with you, but we hope it's not bothering you.

Rast curiously pointed at the philosopher<unk>'s stone in Yua's hand and inquired.

Although she was somewhat surprised that Yua could create a complete philosopher<unk>'s stone, she did not forget the main issue.

It's fine.

What do you want to say? Ewa was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled and waved her hand.

In fact, even if the two girls hadn't come to find, she was already planning to look for them.

Now that she had a highle philosopher stone, Yiwa wanted to see what changes it would cause when used on artificial humans.

And conveniently, she had two artificial girl assistants in her territory.

So, Yiwa had just been planning to find them for an experiment.

However, unexpectedly, before she could find them, they came to her.

We heard that the territory seems to be short on energy.

"Is that true?" Rast asked, not hiding anything as she brought up the news she had just heard from the dark elves.

Chapter 265.

Changing the philosopher<unk>'s stone.

Indeed, that is the case.

You see, right now, the territory is in dire need of crystal cores, so their quantity is indeed very scarce.

Yuf felt quite troubled about this, but there is nothing to be done.

Rona and the others have already gone out to hunt monsters with all their might, but the demand for crystal cores in the territory is simply too high.

The speed at which Rona and the others hunt cannot keep up with the territo's needs.

But Yua had no good solutions for this.

After all, crystal cores can only be obtained from monsters.

In fact, this issue is not only troubling Yua.

Many great lords are facing the same problem.

Only those small lords are free from such worries.

After all, many great lords have buildings that no longer require basic resources and have transitioned to relying on runic resources.

The biggest consumer of runic resources is the runic crystal cores.

Since they are the source of energy, they are needed everywhere.

Because of this, runic crystal cores have become one of the largest expenses for territories.

So Lord, have you considered using the philosopher stone to replace those crystal cores? After all, the philosopher stone is also a source of energy.

Seeing Yua's troubled expression, Raz pointed to the eerie red glowing philosopher<unk>'s stone in Yuway's hand and said, "Of course, I thought about it, but it one tea work.

The runes on the runic crystal cores can't be inscribed on the philosopher<unk>'s stone at all, otherwise I would have used it long ago.

" Yuwa understood Rast and Sloth's intention in coming to find her and shook her head helplessly.

After realizing the importance of the runic crystal cores to the territory, Yua had actually tried to find other things to replace them.

However, no matter what it was, nothing could replace the function of crystal cores.

The reason is simple.

Only on crystal cores can those runes be inscribed.

Yua had of course tried on a philosopher<unk>'s stone as well.

After consuming 20 philosopher<unk> stones, she confirmed that no runes could be inscribed on the philosopher<unk>'s stone at all.

Well, it seems we were a bit presumptuous.

Hearing Ewa say she had already tried, Rast immediately drooped her head.

She originally thought she could leave a good impression on her lord, but unexpectedly the issue had already been considered.

Moreover, it had already been confirmed that it wouldn't work, which left her feeling somewhat helpless.

All right, there is no use in you worrying about the crystal cores.

Those things can only be found on monsters.

Since you're here, I actually have something I need your help with.

Yua waved her hand dismissively.

Her gaze scanning Rast and Sloth, revealing a somewhat mischievous smile.

Seeing their lord's scrutinizing gaze, Rast raised her eyebrows slightly, involuntarily puffing out her chest as if she understood Yu's intention.

Lord, if you need our help, just say so.

We will definitely do our best to assist you.

Actually, it's nothing major.

I just want to change your philosopher stones.

Upon seeing Ras's instinctive reaction, Yu's brow twitched slightly, and she immediately understood this artificial girl as thoughts.

She couldn't help but smile and shake her head, shaking the eerie red glowing philosopher<unk>'s stone in her hand as she expressed her thoughts.

Huh? Change the philosopher<unk>'s stone? But if that is the case, we might lose our original abilities.

Ras was taken aback when she heard Yua's words, originally thinking that Yua was interested in them.

Her gaze shifted to the finger-sized philosophers stone in Yua's hand, but her brow furrowed tightly.

After all, their current special abilities were bestowed by the philosopher<unk>'s stone of the seven deadly sins.

If it were removed or replaced, their abilities might disappear.

If that happened, they would truly become useless artificial beings.

Is that so? Yua wasn't very clear about this and genuinely didn't know that the abilities of the two girls were granted by the philosophers stone inside them.

This made her feel somewhat troubled.

After all, although there was a philosopher<unk>'s stone of the seven deadly sins inside the two girls, it was merely a gold level philosopher<unk>'s stone, and its potential was quite limited.

But it was indeed the source of their abilities.

What if, as they said, after the replacement, they lost that invulnerable claw ability? Why don't I give a try? My abilities are just strength and a bit of speed.

Apart from the ability to turn into liquid, it doesn't seem very useful, so I wouldn't mind letting you try it, lord.

However, just as Yua was frowning, Slaw stepped forward and spoke.

For her, it seemed that not having abilities didn't matter much.

Her biggest reason for existing was simply to stay in one place and eat and wait for death.

As long as she could continue to be a lazy fish, she wouldn't tind being a useless being.

Are you sure? Yued didn't expect sloth to have such courage.

This made her look a sloth with a touch of appreciation, but she still looked at her uncertainly and asked, "It's fine.

If I really become useless, Lord, you just have to take care of me.

" Sloth waved her hand nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Yayua and Lazite suddenly thought of something and both looked at her with strange expressions.

You can't really be thinking of making yourself useless, so you can openly be a slacker, right? Is that possible? Sloth did not deny it, but instead stared at Yayua.

Uh, I don't really care, but you can rest assured I definitely won't really make you useless.

Upon seeing Sloth's admission, Yayua's mouth twitched slightly.

He almost forgot that Sloth was lazy.

This guy would be more than happy if her abilities were rendered useless.

Then she could openly slack off at home.

Thinking of this, Yayua couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation, but this is actually good.

Lazite might still have some concerns regarding her abilities, but Sloth really didn't care about her abilities at all.

So, Yayou felt no psychological burden when conducting the experiment later.

Lazite on the side looked at Sloth with a beused expression.

However, she had nothing to say about her sister.

Since this was her own choice, she couldn't stop her.

Moreover, she was also curious to see what changes would occur after replacing the philosopher stone.

If she could retain her abilities, then she might apply for one like Yayua.

After all, the new philosopher<unk>'s stone seemed to be superior to the one inside her body.

Subsequently, Yayuette didn't hesitate and walked in front of Sloth.

The latter cooperatively turned around, exposing the serpent-shaped mark on her left shoulder.

As everyone knows, the philosopher<unk>'s stone is hidden within this serpent-shaped mark.

So, Yayua, holding the philosopher<unk>'s stone in hand, without a moment's hesitation, flicked it into Sloth's shoulder mark.

The moment the philosopher<unk>'s stone entered her body, Sloth stood rigidly in place, but only for a moment, because the next second, a slightly larger philosopher<unk>'s stone than Yayu, suddenly burst from her shoulder, landing on the ground.
