After the battle in the royal capital, the damages were far more than what they had anticipated. So the Magic Knights were given a holiday for a month while the officials work on repairing the kingdom. I had nothing to do so I asked Miss Isabella if they had found the buyer for the advanced mana stone. Isabella remembered it and said "Since the golden dawn headquarters also suffered some damage I can't introduce him directly I have done work so I will give the buyer's address you should visit yourself.
I went to the given address it was a shop which had barely survived the attack. There was a sign hanging on top saying, Jake' smithy. I went in and I saw a tall and buffed man come saying the shop is not open. I said that I was there to sell an advanced mana stone. He didn't believe me so I showed my advanced rank mana stone. He looked at it for a while in shock saying "Mana stones are rare especially advanced-ranked ones this is my first time seeing one up close".
Then I saw a little girl coming from the inside she saw me and said " Hey you are one of the magic knights who helped me escape from the enemy". She was the girl we helped before fighting Rades. The blacksmith then thanked me for saving her daughter but he said he cannot buy this advanced rank mana stone.
When I asked him why he replied " Well there are two reasons one I can't afford to buy this mana stone even if I sold everything I had and two even if I did buy it I would have no use for this because nobles can easily make weapons using magic so they wouldn't want to carry a weapon with them all the time and commoners can't afford to buy the mana weapons so instead the Nobles only use mana stones in jewellery to flex on others. "
I asked him " Then can you make a sword for me with this advanced rank mana stone " he was shocked for a moment and said " I can but it will cost you a lot and it will take 1 month to finish. Do you still want the sword? " I nodded my head and gave him the mana stone. Mana stones are unique when mana stones are crafted into weapons or jewellery depending on their rank they can use the attacks used by the owner of the mana stone.
Since mana stones are rare they are only used to make jewellery which protects them from attacks so if the mana stone I brought was advanced rank and from a mana beast which majored in defence magic the mana stone would have been sold immediately. Since I have copy magic I would have no use for a flame boar king mana stone since I can just use its copied magic but mana stones of advanced rank or above have a hidden attribute that even I just figured out.
When I accidentally poured mana into the mana stone it got heavier. The more mana I poured the heavier it got. No one has seen an advanced rank mana stone in ages so they probably didn't know this. Anyways I have one month of free time and I will get my weapon after that so I thought maybe I should visit Miss Theresa. It's been so long so I wondered where she was I asked her location and visited her but I had no idea about the approaching trouble.
