Chapter 83: Magical Staff
What should I say?
Yes, it was grand.
That expression seems correct.
The horse was a cane, and when Jihoo stood up, it came to the bottom of his chin. The point where it touched the floor was sharp, almost like an awl, and it got thicker as it went up, and the top was the thickness of a thick thigh.
That’s the approximate look.
“The overall shape seems to be optimized for plugging in and hitting something.”
“I paid attention. Even if you hit it with an orb in it, there will be little impact on the orb. Because all the shocks coming down from the top are transmitted to the bottom.”
The uppermost part where the orb is inserted is shaped like six fingers wrapped around it, and as it goes down from there, the vine twists like a tree.
As you go down, the gap gradually narrows and becomes solid, but about 30cm was completely integrated, probably for durability.
“At that end, even if it’s that sharp, won’t it break?”
“Then, there is a reason why I use fairy spring water. If that end is broken, the whole wand will be broken.”
“The shock has been completely dispersed.”
“yes. Besides, I changed the metal spirit stone. Even if there is a crack in the whole thing, it will be repaired as long as it is not completely destroyed. It will take a lot of mana.”
This is why it is said to be magnificent.
From its size to dark gray.
It was the weapon itself.
『Magic Iron Staff [Demon/Gold] [Masterpiece] [Rare] [Lv. 06]』
: A predator-grade magic wand reborn in the hands of S-class craftsman ‘Shim Ji-yeol’. Since it was born with the hands of a pure craftsman without any magic or transfer treatment, the possibilities are endless.
*[Medium impact dissipation]
*[Lower Intermediate Self-Repair]
*[Medium Magical Amplification]
*[Low-mid light weight]
One simple name. Originally, it could not be said that it was completed with only a staff, so some were built this way on purpose. Because the staff was only completed when the orb was attached.
However, the explanation is not simple.
Besides, it is a [masterpiece].
“Incredible… … .”
“I couldn’t sleep for two days because of this. It was [Magic Iron], so it was this much, if I had brought Mithril, I wouldn’t have slept for a full month.”
“Hey, how do you get that? Thank you so much for this alone. How to pay… … .”
“This is a gift. Having a clear financial relationship is important. But this is a real gift. Do you know what that means?”
“… … thank you mister.”
Jihoo lowered his head.
This is not a refusal.
Jihoo held up the heavy [Magic Iron Staff]. He said he used iron that weighed more than 20kg, but what I felt was half of that.
Still, with a strength stat of 30, I could wield this lightly. I can’t even call myself a real normal person anymore.
“Is it lightweight too? Is that possible without a magic circuit?”
“It’s because some of the properties of the iron have changed. I focused on light weight and durability. It will probably become heavy again when a large crack develops.”
“Can I engrave the magic circuit?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter. Instead, when fixing the circuit, use this medicine. It’s a mixture of the same fairy’s spring water and the spirit stone, so it will be engraved without any loss.”
“thank you.”
Jihoo said goodbye once again and returned to the general store.
Received such a great gift.
You can simply think of it as a [Rare] grade at level 6, but it is a level and grade made without any magic circuits.
Besides, [masterpieces] are difficult to quantify in terms of price. Even if you sell this itself, billions will come out easily.
‘I should give you a present too.’
First, focus on the wand.
Jihoo shaved his right arm.
Chandler-
A soft sound rang out.
Jihoo put [Dark Shadow] and [Desolate Dark Shadow] here. And put a stick in it.
Certainly, the space is large.
It was a big thing to go up to [Advanced]. If it was [Intermediate], one shadow would have been the end.
“The space is plentiful.”
It’s definitely comfortable because I have this bracelet.
Just because you put them in order doesn’t mean you have to take them out in order. The entrance can be anywhere in the square space.
‘Anyway, I guess I’ll have to upgrade this now.’
“… … .”
After thinking for a while, Jihoo put the cane back into the subspace.
“It would be right to study first.”
you can do it right now
But after doing it, I felt like I would regret it. If possible, he wanted to touch Jihoo after his magic skills had improved even a little.
I didn’t want to mess with Mr. Jiyeol’s [masterpiece] by carelessly touching it. Also, you have to find the right [Orb] for this wand.
Jihoo suddenly looked back.
[Mysterious Egg (Lv. 06)]
: An egg with mysterious power. It’s holding something, but I don’t know what it is.
Things that I haven’t been able to touch yet because of overlapping work. Jihoo’s [super sense] worked, so he won the bid… … .
“… … Hopefully, this won’t go into the Orb.”
That’s too far-fetched.
Even if it’s the [Sixth Sense] of the [Super Sense].
* * *
Kim Mi-ji came.
He brought a lot of magic books in his expansion bag, and even made a schedule for training. I explain it there for 30 minutes, but it definitely helped.
“… … So, a [Magic Engineering] 1-star master is a 6-month course. Five months to study the basic theory of [Conversion] and learn the first ‘Conversion’ magic, [Liquefaction]?”
“Yes, isn’t that obvious?”
Well, it was.
Didn’t Jihoo also learn 2-star emotion magic and a few magic circuits from a young age until he was over 30?
I completely forgot.
“thank you. I’ll take it slow.”
It’s obvious, but I didn’t mean to slow down. I decided to use the SP properly this evening.
“You have to go slowly and carefully. Jihoo’s magical knowledge is quite deep, but without the foundation, you won’t even be able to remember what’s wrong at some point. If you don’t have a teacher who is always by your side, accidents can happen.”
“… … All right.”
Jihoo scratched his head.
That’s right. Since magic is to mimic a specific phenomenon by moving the mana in the body, the mana can damage the body if done wrong.
“Oh, can I ask you something more than that?”
“sure. Is it about the Pennental Station Field?”
“Yes, yes, I don’t understand this part.”
Jihoo answered her curiosity for about an hour. She thanked me and went back, saying that she would come the next time there was a blockage.
It’s a busy day.
However, Jihoo’s studies are just beginning.
“… … Before that, mental strength.”
It seemed like I should invest the rest of my SP into abilities. How to raise it most efficiently? What can be assisted with artifacts?
It wasn’t that difficult, but you have to be careful. It is important to use the remaining SP as efficiently as possible.
‘The remaining SP is about 40,000.’
It’s best if you create a [Trait], but I already have three Talents. Every time you make one, it doubles, but you’ll need 100,000 to make a decent trait right now.
‘Ability is a little disappointing.’
[Mental strength] and [Perseverance].
Or I want to raise [Intelligence].
Jihoo opened the status window.
『Status Window』
Name: Shin Ji-hoo
Age: 36
Power: Lv. 03
Rating: None
The power level is already 3.
Abilities and characteristics, excluding performance of artifacts. Or, it is the level of power judged by talent.
‘I don’t want to go up any further.’
maybe greed
And this time, I took a look at the ability.
There are certainly many changes.
『Basic Abilities』
[Muscle 30] [Magic 33]
[Stamina 30] [Spirit 46]
[Endurance 30] [Intelligence 43]
[Right 30] [dexterity 34]
[Sense 30] [Perseverance 26]
There is no change in physical ability after raising it to 30 with SP. However, magic, mental strength, intelligence, dexterity, and tenacity rose a lot.
‘The mental power is considerable.’
There were some that went up by 1 in the middle, but what I gained from overcoming the [trials] on the 4th floor was big. Also, [Persistence] was higher than expected.
‘But it’s also the lowest.’
Jihoo decided to set his persistence to 40.
Once [mental exhaustion] comes, the feeling of exhaustion is so painful. Dizziness, chills, nausea, etc.
– A total of 4,800 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save?
Not too many.
Jihoo saved it right away, and thought over and over again about where to use the remaining 35,000 SP.
There should be no regrets.
Going up to the 3rd floor or hunting on the 2nd floor is no longer difficult. However, it was still much less than the SP gained on the 6th floor.
‘I’m sorry to ask Choi Hye-yeon again.’
I’d listen if you asked, but I didn’t want to. If I could climb the 3rd floor cliff with the help of Jihoo and Lee Heeyeon, then I wanted to climb it.
“… … If that’s the case, it’s probably the only one.”
Jihoo looked at one side of the status window.
『Outstanding magic talent (B)』
: In magic, the realm of the gifted beyond the ordinary. However, since he is not a genius, the limits are clear. Even if you try for decades, you can’t reach the Archmage.
This is Jihoo’s magic talent.
No matter how much I attached the growth type, my proficiency increased, but after going from C to B, it only increased by 5%.
‘It will take a while.’
maybe a few months. No, maybe it will take a year.
Jihoo decided to raise this to A grade.
[Genius Magic Talent (A)]
: Genius (天才), a person with innate talents. Or the realm of 0.1% talent, which is also called a talent given from the sky. Now, given the perseverance of working hard, the realm of the archmage is a place that has been entrusted. In fact, you may reach it someday without much effort.
– A total of 25,000 SP is consumed.
– Do you want to save?
“… … Crazy.”
It’s just the difference between B and A.
However, the length of the explanation is different.
This is why they say that magic is all about talent.
“You say you can reach it someday without much effort?”
This was the most shocking.
It was confirmed that a B-class talent cannot become a great wizard no matter how hard they try, but A-class talents do not have to work hard to become one.
“save.”
If so, 25,000 SP is not a waste.
I was curious about the next S rank, but it required a ridiculous SP. If you want to become S rank right away, you need 200,000 SP.
“… … I think I can only live on the 6th floor for about a month.”
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
The problem is that it is time enough to close the grocery store altogether.
In fact, the same is true even if the target is not an S rank. Now I need to find a way other than simply [survival time]. If you get this talent, even if you go to the 6th floor, the SP you get per hour will inevitably decrease.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve looked through the [achievement list].’
Except for the ones that take up too much time.
No matter how important SP was, I couldn’t give up on the General Store. I’ve been wasting too much time so far.
This [general store of trust] does not exist simply to make money through business. It is a symbolic place in [Street of Artisans].
It is also his father’s will, and it is also a promise with craftsmen who are like family.
– Total SP held: 10,450
SP was also moderately left.
It’s good to keep this amount for emergencies. You may come up with an ingenious use case. It’s been such a long day.
and the next morning.
with my daughter-
Occasionally, there are such unusual guests.
They come to me randomly, put things on the table, and tell me.
“It doesn’t matter how much it costs, so please strengthen it nicely!”
Like the guest right in front of you.
As you can see, it is a B-class hunter with a power level between 4 and 5. A normal sword or spear. It was a Hunter who used a unique weapon, not magic or a bow.
The item put down was a ‘gun’.
Fortunately, it is a [revolver], not something like a [Glock].
Sparkling silvery luster, straight muzzle with impeccably finished cylinders. Fine troll leather wrapped around the handle.
It’s a good thing.
However, firearms cannot be easily strengthened. If it had been before that Jihoo didn’t have the [Set Intervention Authority] attribute, he wouldn’t have accepted the request at all.
