Carefully inscribing the illusion sigil, my butterfly flute was completed!
Hahaha…
There, a flute decorated in butterfly is on my lab table.
Once you play the flute, an illusory butterfly will flutter around the flute, how great, how beautiful. It will surely sell well among the ladies.
Yes, sell you heard it right!
I am going to open a shop.
That was a thought.
An item shop to be specific, don't tell me you never thought of opening a shop if you happen to 'isekai' in another world? Even if you didn't, I did.
I always dream of opening my own shop as well if I were to isekai. Having read too many of isekai genre and seeing the main character opening a shop, I also thought of often on what I shall sell if I Isekai and open a shop.
Making up for one of my dreams is the right way to go. Leggo!
I neither have an extraordinary culinary skills nor great sense of fashion design, baking or whatever typical skills the main characters possess. But, with my imaginative mind and my passable craft skills along with my abundant ether that makes up a lot for my lack of skilled craft skills, I found out I am very good at forging.
Many sorcerers have a side hobby while pursuing the grand sorcerer stage.
Some create potion, some armament forging, beast taming etc etc…
But hobbies also needed high skills and I happen to be skilled in forging.
Beginner sorcerer cannot fully control ether at well. Inscribing sigils and verbal incantation to channel our ether is not easily achieved if we are not able to have good control of our ether.
You just don't understand how powerful and useful sigil and incantation can be.
I have breakdown the complex formula of sigil and verbal incantation for the past two years and I can say that I am one of the experts of basic incantation among my peers that is. I will not say I am the best because there is always heaven's beyond heaven.
I have studied the sigil that helps in changing ether to water, ether to fire, ether to controlling earth.
I have studied but was not put much into practical usage, I still want to learn more first then I will start the official practicing.
I know that molecules forms water but how did ether gathers those molecules is what I try to find out then blindly thought of 'If I gather molecules water will form'. The question here is how in the hell did ether collect the molecules?
After all my research, what I have found out is that ether is present everywhere, from the smallest known atom to the vast cosmic space, everything is make up of ether, in a subjective of course.
I also remember my past memory on when I read up to what ether was, according to my previous world understanding.
I am interested in spirituality, metaphysics and such things after all.
So according to what I've read, 'Ether also refers to as 'stillness'. It is both nothing and everything at the same time, yet it's the very thing that makes all movement and life possible. Referred to as 'akasha' in Sanskrit, ether is the element that comes first in yogic and Ayurvedic thinking'
We have to learn to channel the ether and then channeling the ether to control matters.
It was fascinating.
This is what I always dream of learning, Oh… I'm a bit emotional right now. *Snifles*
Hurray to knowledge.
Ether is the first realm of understanding and getting in contact with the vast cosmic power, according to me.
There are a lot to learn and I will learn a lot as well.
Right…
Today, I was working inside my laboratory again.
I asked mother to build it for me and she did. Best mom award definitely goes to her.
I insist on having a laboratory because I want it to be my practice room. I am finally going to start practicing.
I took off my monocle as it gets a bit misty.
My monocle is a gold like rimmed with golden color chain hanging down, it can magnify infinitely. Well, infinite is a bit exaggerating but it's a strong magnifying monocle.
There are other sigils in my monocle but I cannot activate it, only the magnifying part for now.
Father gives me this as a gift on my birthday.
I wear the monocle again before picking up the butterfly flute and keeping on the cabinet.
There are a lot of things that's I have forged over the past month, I look around my laboratory in mirth. There were piles and piles of things that I forge, all with their own unique function.
But it was all of low level though.
There are a lot of sigils I understand but because my ether is not pure enough or that because it was still at a low level, I cannot put my knowledge to used.
Looking at the piles of items stack together, a strong desire to open a shop has tingles my senses again.
I have to request mother to give me one of the shop that is under our Ducal-ship. Last time, I inquired Mina about opening a shop, license for having a shop and all and she said that we have a lot of shops under our household name.
Our Dukedom is a family of sorcerer so there are many masters who are proficient in developing different items like potion, armament and different kind of forging.
Each is proficient on their specific skills. In terms of forging, I don't have specific skill. I can forge anything as long as I know the what, why and how.
Such is the benefits of being smart *imaginative*
*Imaginarily rub my nose and smile smugly*
Hehehe…
I am mighty!
I'll quickly go and ask my mother for a shop to transfer under my name, my mother is rich. Our Ducal house is the richest among the four Dukedoms.
All hail money!
Birds die for food, human die for money.
Thankfully, I don't have to work my ass off to earn money in this world.
All hail isekai to rich family!
The Ducal of Volitient has the most commercial activities in the empire as we are a ducal of sorcerer with many skills.
I may have not mentions this before but each Ducal house have their own, how do I say? 'Local specialities'?
Our Volitient Duke house is a household of sorcerer.
The second duke, Soren Duke is a household filled with warrior.
The third Duke, Kuthal Duke is a household filled with Swords man.
The fourth duke, Khaos duke is a household filled with lunat- ugh… I will talk about this later.
Unlike the other kingdom that are specialize in one each occupation, the Allerick empire is called an empire because it has everything.
The sorcerer, the swords man, the warrior, the lunatic- eheum… and many other small as well as rare professions.
Anyway, an empire will be called an empire when it has everything.
Even that geek has face tough battle in the wars with the Allerick Empire even when the three kingdoms combine forces. The empire may lose 1000 soldiers but the joined alliance kingdoms lose 800 soldiers on the war. That's a metaphor and I hope it is understood.
As for the fourth kingdom…
Hah… I don't want to talk it about it. But just for information, they don't participate in the war, at least on the surface.
The four Dukes can hold on to the power for generations because each duke house has a peak master.
A Grand Sorcerers…
A Sword masters…
A Berserkers…
A Peak luna-…
The peak of sorcerer known to mankind is the Grand sorcerer, just like so, a peak of swords man is sword master, the peak of a warrior is a berserker.
With such strong forces, why did the empire still lose? Maybe it's the protagonist halo *shrug shoulder*
I'll just go and ask my mother of the shop instead of thinking about the geek. Since I don't understand, I will stop thinking about it.
I am not very good in political intrigue things anyway.
