Chereads / Arcane Universe[AU] / Chapter 16 - Magic Items

Chapter 16 - Magic Items

Aizen entered the Adventurers' guild; Magic book was not the only reward, it would also earn gold coins.  

After talking to the receptionist, he was guided to a room.  Aizen opened the door and saw a middle-aged man sitting in a chair.

"Aizen LightStar? You look very young."  The Vice-leader of the adventurers' guild was surprised.

"Ok, thanks."  Aizen sat opposite the vice -leader.

"Here it is."  The Vice-leader delivered 25 gold coins to Aizen.

"I thought it was only 5."  Aizen was confused.

"We learned that King Lizardman evolved to Rank King. This ended up causing problems for the guild, we were going to cancel the mission and try to find professional adventurers, but who knew you could kill him. Thanks for that."  He thought Aizen was a promising kid.

The King Ranking is different from social standing, a King will not always be classified as a King, the classification of the system is different from the social position one holds.

"Thanks."  Aizen accepted the money willingly.  He is a merchant and will never reject extra money.

"Go to the mages guild, they will also give you an extra reward."

Aizen thanked the Vice-leader again before leaving.

-

"Oh, it's you! We've been waiting for you."  The young man greeted Aizen.  He was the receptionist who had attended her last time.

"Come with me."  He led Aizen to a room at the back of the guild.

"Here it is, it's yours."  He delivered two books to Aizen, plus some gold coins.

'Magic smithy;  advanced water magic and ice magic.'  Aizen was a little surprised to read the title of the first book.  Magic blacksmith?  Seems interesting.  The ice and water magic book would also be welcome.

"This book is a little special, so take good care of it."  The young man said. 

There aren't many books like this in small towns, to get a book on magic blacksmithing, you would have to go to a big city.  

The mages guild is one of the only places in small towns where you could purchase this type of book. 

Initially, the reward was the advanced magic book, but things got out of hand and King Lizardman evolved into the King class.  In the end, the guild decided to give this book away as a bonus.

"Thanks."  Aizen thanked him.  Before leaving, he bought a few more books.  He bought books about the Earth and Air element. It only lacked these two elements for him to complete all the basic elements.  He tried to buy advanced Earth and Air element books, but he only had the basics.

'Well, let's go back.'

-

Aizen spent some time reading the magical blacksmithing book.  He was curious about this book.  The book talked about forging items and enchanting them, Basically how to make magic items.  At the end of the book, there was a manual on how to make some items.

'Interesting…' Aizen got up from the bed and headed towards the merchant guild.

-

"Hi, what do you want?"  The receptionist greeted Aizen.

"Do you have these items available?"  Aizen handed over a list of names.

"Well… let me see."

...

"45 gold coins in total."  The receptionist calculated the value of the items. The items Aizen wants are not common and easy to find, so the price would likely be high.

'45 gold coins…' Aizen felt he received a stab to the heart.

'Well, that can come back later.'

"Here it is."  Aizen paid the woman and took the items. Now he only had 15 gold coins.

-

Aizen joined the blacksmiths guild.

"I need a room."

"1 gold coin a day."

"Here it is."  Aizen paid and went upstairs to the living room.

Entering the room, Aizen felt the temperature rise. 

'I think that's enough.'  Forge hammers, anvil, furnace, etc.

Aizen placed the materials on the table.  He had in mind what he wanted to do, but for that, he had to practice first.  He took the steel with the tongs and placed it in the oven.  

After warming up, he took the hammer and began to mold the sword. 

After molding the sword, he went through the heating and cooling process.  He repeated this process 3 times.  After that, he began the process of sanding and sharpening the sword.

After a few more processes, he reheated the sword again.  Now was the crucial moment.  He gathered the mana in his fingers and began to form little magical matrices.  Magic matrices are for you to program and encode certain spells,  he learned this from the magical blacksmithing book.  Magic matrices are basically magic circles with different functions.

Aizen ran his hand lightly over the blade of the sword.  The magical matrices remained on the blade of the sword. He waited for the blade to cool.

When the blade cooled, Aizen took the sword.

'It worked?'  Aizen swung the sword.  The magical matrices began to work.  Ambient mana began to gather on the sword blade.

'That's it!'  His first test was a success.

'Well, let's keep going, things could get complicated going forward.'

The next tests would be more complicated.

-

Aizen spent hours making items.  Several failures and several successes.  He spent hours and hours like this.  He had been at the game too long, so he decided to go out and get a peaceful sleep.

-

The other day, Aizen returned to the game and continued making items.  His excitement didn't diminish even after failing.

*Bang!* *Bang!*

The hammer's clatter continued to echo through the room.  When night fell, Aizen left the game again and went to sleep.  He didn't need to leave the game to sleep, as when you enter the game, your body in the real world goes into an inactive state, that is, you sleep.  However, making magic items was tiring and he wanted to rest too.  Well, deep down he's still a little lazy boy.

-

Aizen spent his 3rd-day forging items.  Of course, he didn't stay in the game that long.  He went out to lunch, dinner, showers, etc.

When it was about to get dark, Aizen gave his last hammer blow.  He took a certain magic item from his inventory and injected it into his sword.  At the same time, he began to build magical matrices.  Everything had to be perfectly connected.

*BOOMM!*

The sword emitted a burst of mana.  A few seconds later, the arrays began to glow.

Aizen took the sword, a hopeful expression on his face.  Did it work?  As he picked up the sword, he felt like he was holding a feather.

Aizen smiled when he saw that he was successful.

'Now, it's you.'  Aizen looked at the fabrics that were on the table.  He wasn't just hammering all the time, he also tried to make magic clothes.  The construction of the clothing was easier than the construction of the sword.  But the enchantment…

Aizen took another magic item and inserted it into the clothes.  These magic items were what granted abilities to other items.  The magic item that Aizen inserted into the clothes was a dark crystal.  After inserting the item, he started making magic matrices again.  After several minutes of making arrays, the garment emitted a dark glow.

'Now, the last one.'  Aizen looked at the staff that was beside the clothes.  That would be the item he intended to sell.  Magic players were really excited lately, why not make some money from them?  maybe he recovers the money he had spent on these items.

Aizen took his last magic item from his inventory.  This magic item was a sphere that glowed green.  Magic items were the most expensive items he had to buy.  They are also more scarce.

Upon inserting the magic item into the staff, he began making matrices again.  This time it was simpler than the other items.
