Lowman, wearing his protective suit, melted the metal according to the ratio I had told him. There was no resilience as seen when the ring was made. Mithril, pelanium, and gold gradually mixed together.

He tilted his head at the sight.

As a talented blacksmith, he might have sensed something from the sight of the three metals mixing together.

The process of making a mold using liquid metal and engraving a circuit followed.

As the work progressed, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

“……This can’t be happening.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“……The ratio that the 4th Duke spoke of is much better. The metal itself feels much more easily mixed. The elasticity has also been reduced much more than before. Lastly, the strength is also much……”

“Please remember this and use it wisely in the future. It is a small gift for you, Lowman.”

The ratio of metals mixed together.

This could be considered a kind of secret for blacksmiths. Depending on how much of this ratio they knew, the treatment they received varied greatly.

Knowledge is power.

This was a phrase that applied not only to magic, but to all professions.

I intended to give him this ratio in return for making the ring and staff for him to utilize.

“……Are you talking to me?”

“Yes. Since you have taken on such a difficult task, I should give you this much. In the future, when I find out about such a ratio, I will let you know.”

“……Such precious knowledge! Thank you, thank you!”

“No, I am grateful.”

This was a good match for the exchange.

In this way, the circuit was engraved on the jewel and the body.

After receiving the items, I left the blacksmith shop.

The place we moved to was the annex.

‘It’s been quite a while.’

The space I used as my room was still the same.

I put down the necessary materials there.

The creation of the artifact was not difficult.

The body of a staff with an engraved circuit and a jewel.

The process was to soak them in mana liquid, activate the circuit, and then use my mana to go through the imprinting process.

There was just one more step that needed to be added.

I picked up the jewel and took out Centaur’s wing.

Centaur was a flying monster.

He wasn’t a big guy. At best, he was about the size of a fist.

Since they were characterized by moving in groups to search for prey, hunting was quite difficult compared to their size.

Of course, the wings weren’t that big either.

I could see the cute, palm-sized wings.

There were four pieces of wings in total.

He breathed mana into the wing’s cut parts and the jewel, then connected them together.

Maybe because they both have high mana conductivity, they seemed to be perfectly connected to my mana.

‘Okay.’

From now on, these wings would primarily serve the role of amplifying the magical power flowing from the jewel.

The structure was such that the mana that was amplified once near the wings was amplified secondarily in the body of the staff, and then flowed to the jewel once again to activate the magic.

It may seem like a fairly long process, but since the materials have high mana conductivity, the magic will activate in an instant.

‘I can maximize the power.’

What if the power of the staff was combined with the existing magic that had tremendous power? It seemed like it would be possible to increase the power by about 0.5 circles in one breath.

When I brought the jewel to the head of the staff, the two circuits were connected to each other.

Finally, I poured my magic power into it to finish the engraving, and the completed staff appeared.

[I created an artifact.]

[Type: Staff-shaped artifact]

[An efficient way to create artifacts]

[I remember how it was made.]

[Analyze the artifact.]

[Name: (*Not yet decided/ You can decide the name yourself.)]

[A staff made with a body made of a mixture of mithril, pelanium, and gold, and the jewel of Lurmangel. The jewel and the wings of Sentar are in perfect harmony.]

[Special effects]

[Overload (A): Once a week, you can release the aura of the gem for ten minutes. When you release the aura, the power of all magic increases greatly. However, when you release the aura once, all functions of the staff are reduced by 50% for one month.]

[Mana’s Friend (A-): Mana recovery speed increases by 50%.]

[Magic Amplification (B+): Increases the power of all magic used with the staff.]

‘It’s okay.’

Increased mana regeneration rate, increased magic power.?

Even a finishing move that can be used when a crisis occurs.

It was a cane that was absolutely covered in sweet special effects.

The reason why the performance seems particularly good is probably because the effect is doubled every time you craft an artifact.

“The name is… the Staff of Lurmangel.”

[The artifact has been named.]

[Staff of Lurmangel]

It was an item that was a step behind the ring that he had given to Seron, but it was still a great deal. This was because it was one of the top-tier unique items.

‘I guess I can use it up to the 5th circle.’

Until then, it seemed like it could be put to good use.

From then on, I had to consider replacing it.

This was because the effect of the artifact varied depending on the user’s rank.

Mana regeneration rate attached to the Staff of Lurmangel.

If I use it, it’s a 50% recovery speed, but if an archmage uses this staff, maybe.

‘If we do well in the single digits, we will barely be able to show a recovery growth rate of double digits.’

It was also an obvious fact.

If all effects were applied absolutely regardless of the user’s rank, wouldn’t all archmages and sword masters be carrying around all kinds of artifacts?

Even if you wear just ten rare artifacts, such as Flornell’s Jewel Ring, your mana recovery speed will more than double.

The reason they didn’t do that was because they didn’t have many artifacts that matched their level.

That is why the saying, “Don’t rely on tools,” was often taken for granted as a maxim.

For a great wizard or sword master, an artifact of at least legendary level would be considered worthy of the title, but it was difficult to even see such artifacts.

Artifacts of epic and god rank.

My thoughts, knowing how to make and obtain them, were of course different.

‘Tools are meant to be relied on.’

Of course, this was when it was a good tool.

If it’s an artifact of God or Epic grade, shouldn’t you rely on it?

Although your own skills are important, it is even better if you have an artifact that amplifies those skills.

The appearance of the cane was very ornate.

The Staff of Valor was pretty cool, but it couldn’t compare to the Staff of Lurmangel, which had a blue jewel set in its center.

‘I guess I’ll have to carry it in my pocket.’

I thought I should put this in my magic pouch since it would be quite noticeable if I carried it around.

After making the staff like that, I went to see the Marquis.

It was to use the gate.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, father.”

“Yeah. It’s been a while, you too, Leon.”

“Is your Majesty well?”

“okay.”

Perhaps because quite some time had passed since he had killed Adolf, Remton’s face had brightened somewhat.

“I came here because I wanted to use the gate.”

“Are you heading to Lopelian?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Yes. Be careful of your actions. Unlike Duke Meleos… Houdini has a rather authoritarian personality.”

“Have you ever met?”

Remton nodded at the question.

“Yeah. We met once a few years ago.”

“I will keep my father’s words in mind.”

As Remton says, Houdini had a rather authoritarian personality.

That might be because he was always treated as second in command behind Duke Meleos.

The desire to be recognized.

It would have appeared in an authoritarian form.

After accepting the power of evil.

‘That longing must have grown even more explosively.’

The original evil power had the effect of greatly increasing human desires. Whether its real appearance is the same as what it showed in the game or not, we will find out when we meet it.

So Leonhard and I headed to the gate.

Although the distance between the Marquis Kaylon and his family home was quite far, they still had one thing in common: they both lived in the East.

That’s probably why high-quality mana stones weren’t used.

After entering the gate.

After going through the same process as when I moved to the Duke’s House, the scenery before my eyes had changed.

“Huh. Are you Kyle?”

A kind-looking nobleman stood before my eyes.

It was the Marquis Houdini.

Although his actual age was similar to that of Meleos, who was in his 60s, he appeared to be in his 40s.

It’s a monster.

Despite the smile on his lips, his eyes were scanning my appearance thoroughly.

It looked like a snake.

[The mind’s eye is activated.]

[This is an opponent of a much higher level.]

I tried to activate the mind’s eye briefly, but it was lightly pushed away as if it was nothing.

“Yes, my name is Kyle Celtharion, and I am the one who recently built the new tower in the East.”

“Haha. Not only did you overcome Hermemu at the age of twelve, but you also received the title of Lord of the Tower. Even the dragons that are only mentioned in legends wouldn’t have shown this level of talent… You’re truly amazing.”

“I don’t know what to do with myself when Your Majesty praises me like this. Feel free to speak freely. As a wizard, I am by far your junior, aren’t I?”

Although I am a descendant of the Baron and the Celtarion family, that doesn’t mean I can compete with Marquis Houdini. He was the head of a famous magic family in the East and a great wizard of the 7th Circle.

At least so far, there are still quite a few differences.

Houdini nodded as if it was natural to hear me say that.

“You are a polite young man. As you said, let’s speak a little more comfortably. Did you say Truth Tower?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“For a newly built tower, it’s quite large. I remember it being very spacious.”

“I put in some effort. The size of the magic tower symbolizes authority.”

“That’s right. This is not the time. Follow me. I can’t leave the guests standing.”

The place Houdini guided us to was his own office.

Leonhard waited outside while the Marquis and I went inside.

As expected of a great wizard, his office was filled with all kinds of magic books.

I was tempted to read the magic books.

‘It would be great if I could just take a few of those magic books.’

Among the numerous magic books, the original will probably be there. Judging from the contents written on the cover, it starts from the 4th circle at the minimum.

It was like a treasure trove for me.

I would like to do that, though.

Unfortunately, that is not possible now.

After I personally closed the bastard’s eyes, I thought I should sweep away all the magic books in the study.

“Do you like tea?”

“yes.”

“Just wait a minute.”

After finishing speaking, the Marquis snapped his fingers once.

Then, the tea utensils in the office suddenly floated up. It was a sight that would have made you open your eyes wide if you had seen it in real life.

‘Well, it’s no different here.’

The Marquis was moving objects with only pure mana, not magic. That was one of the most difficult things to do. It was because it required a certain level of skill in controlling mana. Well, for a great wizard, it would be as easy as yawning.

A teacup was placed, and tea dripping from the air filled it.

Judging from the scent, it seemed to be black tea.

“I heard you were coming, so I made this in advance. Have a drink.”

“It smells really good.”

“Thank you.”

Houdini took a sip of tea and looked at me.

“I heard you won the theory competition. You came up with some really innovative magic?”

“Not to that extent. I just modified it a little.”

“You don’t have to be so humble. If you won a competition hosted by the Duke’s family, then that would be obvious. Yes. How is the Duke’s family?”

“Maybe it’s because they’re the most famous magic family in the empire… They definitely look strong.”

“That’s right, Meleos. I’ve been seeing him for quite some time. You probably know a little about my relationship with him, right?”

“yes.”

“So I’m proud to say I know him pretty well. Meleos… is quite a heavy-set man. Not only did he personally attend the judging… but there’s a rumor going around that he even spoke to you in person.”

If you had the intelligence of Marquis Houdini, it would have been a piece of cake to figure that out.

The Marquis continued speaking with a slight smile on his lips.

“I think that guy may have suggested that we come to the West… Is there a reason why you built the Magic Tower in the East?”

The Marquis’ eyes narrowed after he finished speaking.

I was going to fight the Marquis, but not right now. I still had to build up my base in the East. I had no intention of drawing the boar’s attention before I could even walk.

Depending on how you answer from now on, the time you have to lay the foundation will increase or decrease.

If there was one thing that was fortunate, it was that I was quite confident with my words.

It wasn’t difficult to come up with an answer.

He met the Marquis’ gaze with a serious expression.
