conversations.value:  "A sacred law of the world, being watched—both quite unsettling phrases, to say the least. Do you know what’s in the box?"
conversations.prefix: Ilias:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Yes, a magical tool he worked on while he was in the empire, and a notebook compiling his research."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "What does the magical tool do, and what’s in the notebook?"
conversations.prefix: Ilias:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "The magical tool is a ring that amplifies magic. It’s unstable, due to being unfinished, but if a person learned to use it, it would greatly increase their magic ability."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I see…" As many readers have likely already guessed, the one who learned to use said ring in Revo-Lily was the protagonist, Philine. "As for the notebook, I don’t know much. It should contain data on human experimentation conducted in the empire, as well as some writing lamenting said human experimentation. The notebook was only ever referred to as some anonymous researcher’s work in Revo-Lily. Mr. Torrid’s name never came up, but if everything else is the same, then he lost his own daughter to that research."

conversations.value:  "How awful…" I recall the research notes being quite vivid in their description and many of the experiments being inhumane. I had a hard time believing a gentle person like Mr. Torrid could author those notes. "But I don’t see what he could mean by ‘this world’s most sacred laws’ and ‘being watched,’ We should ask him again after we open the box."

conversations.value:  "He’ll probably be furious with us."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  I agreed, but this was Mr. Torrid we were talking about. He would probably understand and relent, saying, Oh, what’s done is done. He’d also likely be willing to elaborate on his unsettling words, as he wasn’t the type to leave someone in the dark. "So how do we open the box, anyway?"

conversations.value:  "Do you remember the magical stones on its front?"
conversations.prefix: Ilias:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Yes. They were black, blue, and red, so they must be correlated with earth, water, and fire magic, no?"
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "That’s correct. To open the box, you need to send the corresponding magic attribute into the stones."
conversations.prefix: Ilias:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "That’s it?" Claire said, disappointed.
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Not quite. If it were that simple, it would have been opened long ago. You see, the source of all three attributes has to be the same person."
conversations.prefix: Ilias:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Huh? You don’t mean to say…"
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "I do. Only a multi-caster or quad-caster with earth, water, and fire magic can open the box." In this world, where dual-casters were scarce enough, multi-casters and quad-casters were few and far between. There might well have been more, but the only ones I knew of were Manaria, Mr. Torrid, and May. In Revo-Lily, Manaria helped open the box while on a visit to the Nur Empire, but that would be difficult, given the current state of affairs.
