“This is…….”

“Storm Sword Type 2. This is a modified version of that swordsmanship book.”

“……2 meals? Maybe all of them…….”

“Not all of it. I’ve only been able to interpret about 40% of it so far.”

“I see.… Can I read it to you?”

“yes.”

Abel opened the book and began to read. The reading time was not long.

“This too…… has a comment attached.”

“Yes. My escort… no. The captain of the Prinus’ knights personally gave me this information.”

Abel smiled faintly at my words.

“He’s the captain of the knights. Sir Leonhard has also become quite successful.”

“If Prinus continues to develop, then that’s what it’ll be like. I’ve already received confirmation about the modified swordsmanship. They gave me a similar evaluation as the first type.”

“……That’s truly amazing. It’s not easy to change swordsmanship…….”

“I tried hard.”

Although I did use the knowledge I already had, this is how it should be said.

Let’s say it with a strong sense of effort, and Abel nodded.

“I heard from my father. He said that as you level up in the Circle, you might be able to transform higher-level sword techniques, just like you can transform magic… That assumption seems to be half-true.”

“Yes. After achieving the second circle, it definitely felt like it was easier to modify swordsmanship. It could be because my overall knowledge has increased.”

“……That could be true. If Sir Leonhard made such an assessment……it must certainly be an amazing swordsmanship. I must see it for myself.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Abel and I went out of the training ground.

Abel then pulled out his sword and began demonstrating the transformed Storm Sword Type 2.

Abel’s sword dance at the speed of light was just like the appearance of a knight that would appear in a novel. Abel nodded with satisfaction as he put his sword away.

“Considering the amount of Aura consumed, the power is more than satisfactory. Thank you, Kyle.”

“No. It’s for the family.”

“I can’t just accept it. If there’s something you want, just tell me. I’ll do whatever I can to accommodate it.”

“Can I use the family’s storage facility?”

“It’s a materials warehouse. Do you know why?”

“I’m trying to make a walking stick for my own use.”

“I don’t think you’re talking about common items… Are you perhaps talking about artifacts?”

“Yes. I once got a staff from a dungeon. It was very useful. I think it’s time to replace it, so I’m going to try making a new one.”

“It’s true that artifacts are convenient. However, don’t rely too much on tools. In the end, everything is determined by your own level.”

That was right.

No matter how good a tool is, if the person using it is not good, its meaning is bound to fade.

It was a story that didn’t apply to me, though.

“Of course. Tools are meant to be used. The moment you start relying on them, the roles are reversed.”

He looked into my eyes at those words and nodded as if he was satisfied.

“You really are quick to realize that. Okay. That’s enough. As for the materials… you can take as much as you want.”

“You don’t look too happy when you say that…….”

Abel laughed bitterly at my words.

“Actually, I’m a little scared about how much I’ll take. The value of the Storm Sword Type 2 is something that cannot be measured in money… but my family’s circumstances aren’t so good right now.”

“You don’t have to worry too much. My family and I are not strangers. I will make sure to take out within five hundred platinum coins.”

“……Five hundred?”

“Yes. In fact, compared to the value of this swordsmanship, wouldn’t it be nothing more than a drop in the bucket?”

It was true.

Storm sword.

This was the sword technique that supported the foundation of the later writer.

The transformed Storm Sword, which had greatly increased its power, was so valuable that it could hardly be valued in monetary terms.

Abel nodded, momentarily taken aback by those words.

“Yeah… yeah. You’re right.”

I see that you were surprised that the production cost was higher than expected.

‘but.’

It might come as a surprise that a 2nd circle wizard would spend hundreds of billions on a wand.

The items in the material warehouse were usually stored to be used to create artifacts or to be sold at a profit when financial circumstances were poor.

This time it was going to be used for me, but I was going to pay a high price for it.

“I will try to modify the rest of the second form and the other seven sword techniques. Of course, it will take time.”

In fact, the value of what he just gave was already far more than five hundred platinum coins, but since the family was not well off, he needed to show some consideration.

So that was the offer I made.

If you’re going to give it anyway, you should at least make it look nice.

“……Is that true?”

“Yes, but I hope to receive help later when things get better.”

“Of course. If it’s all the sword techniques of the second form… I wouldn’t mind paying any price for it.”

The price didn’t have to be visible.

Political, diplomatic, or military support, etc.

There was so much to take in.

I just received the materials because I needed to make a staff now.

“Yes, thank you. Then I will go to the warehouse.”

“Yes. I hope you create a good artifact. To a wizard, a staff is… like a knight’s sword.”

As Abel said, I was thinking of making a really proper walking stick.

It is the ultimate luxury item.

So, I and the wizard of the family started to move towards the material warehouse.

A jewel to hold the center of the staff.?

And I had already acquired the wings of Centaur, which would hold the center of the jewel.

What was needed were materials to construct the body.

‘The ten gold stones are the best, though.’

This time, what I was making was a walking stick.

Of course, there were far more materials that went into it than the ring. If this body were made entirely of ten gold stones, it would probably take more than three thousand, not five hundred platinum coins.

It was only natural, since the entire body was made of a metal that was one level higher than the precious Mithril.

I couldn’t afford to spend that much on just one cane.

‘I guess some compromise is right.’

All you have to do is construct the body with materials that go well with the jewel. At this stage, that alone is enough.

There were three materials in total that I was thinking of.

Mithril. Pelanium. Gold.?

Gold and silver are materials with high magical conductivity, and their properties also go well with higher-level materials.

Mithril and Pelanium not only have no resilience to each other, but when mixed in a 2:1 ratio, the conductivity of mana can be maximized.

10% Mithril, 5% Pelanium, and finally 85% Gold.

What was the optimal combination ratio that I remember?

By mixing it like this, the strength of the staff could also be increased.

It may not be as strong as one made entirely of mithril, but it should still be able to maintain a decent amount of strength.

This was one of the ratios used by the blacksmiths of the ancient empire.

It is now one of the lost pieces of knowledge, as the blacksmiths here did not know the exact synthesis ratio.

Lowman, the chief blacksmith in the family.

If you give him these three ingredients, he’ll probably come up with a similar ratio, but even so.

‘I can’t think of an exact ratio.’

Lots of gold, and a bit more mithril than pelanium.

It’ll be about this level.

This was the difference between civilization and knowledge.

There is a world of difference between making something with a quantifiable ratio and making it with a feeling.

That’s why artifacts from ancient empires that are sometimes found in dungeons are considered luxury items.

So I brought the materials.

Since the gold and silver family also kept a considerable amount, it was not difficult to take them out.

The same was true of mithril and pelanium.

Although they were precious materials, they were not used in huge quantities, as they only accounted for about 15% of the staff’s body.

Leonhard and I naturally headed towards the blacksmith shop.

A furnace of fire.

As we entered the place like last time, soon after, Lowman started running in, panting.

Judging by the anticipation in his eyes, he seemed to have instinctively known that I would be commissioned to produce it.

“It’s been a while. Your Highness the Fourth Prince… no, Baron Kyle.”

“You can just call me the Four Princes. That’s more convenient.”

“Okay. What’s up with you today…?”

“Why would a wizard come to the blacksmith shop? Of course, it’s a crafting request. I’m thinking of making a wand for myself.”

“A staff… You’ve come to the right place. A good weapon can sometimes save its owner’s life. Come this way.”

The place he guided me to was the office.

“This time too… Are you planning to make the body out of that metal?”

There was anticipation in his eyes as he finished speaking.

You may have become aware of the higher-level metal called Sippumseok because of me, but it was an item that could not be created without Sippum Synthesis Reagent.

The blacksmith’s eyes were filled with a desire to work with superior materials.

I shook my head when I saw Lowman.

“If the entire body of the staff were made of that metal, there would be no money left in the estate.”

Lowman laughed bitterly at my words.

“Now that I think about it, that makes sense. If the entire body is made of that metal, then one of the hundred artifacts might change places.”

A hundred artifacts.

It was a list of the top 100 artifacts among the numerous artifacts found in the central continent.

These each had their own ranking,

Although a few were wrong, I would say that about 90% of them were in the correct ranking.

‘5 epics. 80 legendaries. And up to 15 unique artifacts.’

The list of components was roughly like this.

Here, three of the epic-grade artifacts were held by the Alton Empire, while the remaining two were held by the Holy Empire.

As the most powerful nation in the central continent, it possessed the highest level of artifacts.

If information about the ring Seron possessed had spread, the locations of one of the Hundred Artifacts may have changed.

Ten-geum stone ring.

Because it could be evaluated as a top-tier item even among unique artifacts.

‘Well, that won’t happen, though.’

Whether it was skill or good items, it was better to hide them than to reveal them. I looked at Lowman and took out the materials.

“Mithril and pelanium. The rest is gold.”

“Yes. The magic circuit is like this. You can engrave it on the body of the jewel and the staff. Is that possible?”

When I handed him a piece of paper with a circuit diagram drawn on it, Lowman nodded vigorously.

“Yes. It’s about the same level of difficulty as the ring. It’s definitely possible. Since both Mithril and Pelanium are good materials, it doesn’t seem like it would be difficult to make the exterior.”

“Thank you. Oh, by the way, just mix the three ingredients in the amounts I took out.”

“……yes?”

The blacksmith was seen tilting his head as if he did not understand.

“You can mix the ingredients in the ratio I just showed you. Just like it’s written on the paper. I brought it in the ratio you’ve set.”

“Your Highness, I am in charge of setting the ratio. Besides… the ratio you wrote down is hardly the optimal ratio…”

“Is anything known about the optimal ratio?”

“……That’s not it. Mithril and Pelanium are very valuable materials. Since this kind of information is actually a secret of production, it is common for each blacksmith to mix it according to their own knowledge.”

“What percentage did you have in mind, Mr. Lowman?”

Lowman, who had been pondering the question for a moment, told me the ratio he had been thinking about.

Up to 18% Mithril, 8% Pelanium, and 74% Gold.

It was quite different from the optimal ratio I knew.

If you use it like that, not only will the consumption of Mithril and Pelanium increase, but putting in a lot of good items doesn’t always mean you’ll get good items.

“Then, from now on, we can change that common sense. I am confident in the results. If you try making it once according to the ratio I mentioned, you will immediately understand what I mean.”

The old man, who had been pondering my words for a moment, nodded.

“……Okay. Last time, I blocked the Fourth Prince because of my common sense…… So this time, I will follow the Fourth Prince’s words.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“No. If it makes things better, then I’ll learn something from it too. Hehe…… Then let’s start making it.”

Then the blacksmith, wearing protective clothing, began to melt the metal.

The production of the walking stick began.
