Chapter 66

Making the Monster Enhancer

I’ve finally finished the procedure of selling the ornaments and jewelries I’ve found in the ruins .

After a while, my name was called .

They game me a satchel that contains coins .

According to the officer in charge, I received quite a sum of money .

It seems that the Marquis has instructed them to do so .

Are they celebrating for the discovery of the Dragon Eye Sakazuki?

Well, I’ll gratefully accept their generosity .

Though I said that, I don’t even know the market price of those treasures I sold off .

In any case, my purse became warmer again .

To the extent that even the three days of lodging isn’t even a problem .

[I also have to check some information about that egg soon . ]

Should I look through the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts” later if there’s any information written in there?

[Hati-dono . ]

When we were about to separate in the ruins, Mist called out to me .

[I’ve only seen it from quite a distance, but it seems that there’s an immense uproar going on in there . ]

[Holding still in your position was a great idea . It is Hati-dono who really needs to be praised . ]

Mist let out a strained laugh .

I pointed towards my backpack that carries the silver bones .

[I entered the ruins not because I want your praise, but because I wanted something for this guy . There’s no need for me to face unnecessary troubles . Anyway, what’s your plans hereafter?]

[Tomorrow, I will be receiving some hospitality from the marquis along with the reward . ]

Like I thought .

[I wish I could decline too . But if I weren’t to accept it, I don’t think I would be able to get my rewards . ]

[Well, it looks like that marquis is someone fixated on formalities . ]

Surprisingly, she was being recruited by the marquis to be included in his private soldiers .

[That’s why, I’m going to have to stay another night here in Mills . ]

[Are you going to be staying in the inn?]

[I was told that they would prepare a room in the Marquis’ mansion, but I declined their offer . ]

[Then, are you going to rent another room in the room?]

[Yes . Nevertheless, I would be expecting to get 300 gold coins tomorrow so I have no concern about accommodation costs for the meantime . ]

[You’re going towards their house tomorrow, so are you going to have some free time?]

[That’s right, but it seems like I will be able to stay here for some time . ]

Around this time, the people of the Marquis were surely investigating whether this Dragon Eye Sakazuki that Mist brought is real or not .

I wonder if they can even be appraised by people who haven’t seen the real thing .

I take out the pocket watch .

[How about we talk in my room at around 8:00 pm? I thought you would also want to take some rest now in the inn . I feel like their making the dinner separately for different people in here though . ]

[I understand . ]

Finished making an appointment with Mist, I promptly left the ruins .

I already have the tools I needed to turn the bone meal into an enhancer .

I bought it when I visited the shops with Mist before .

They would get some cracks if I were to bring them with me inside the ruins, so I left them in the custody of the officer in charge of me at the checking station before I entered the ruins .

The necessary tools needed for the preparation of the Enhancer were also described in the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts” .

The basics about using these tools seem to be similar to the other tools from back in my world that resemble them .

It seems that making an Enhancer is simpler than I had thought .

The first bottleneck that I faced with making these were just the acquisition of the monster materials .

However, I’ve just safely acquired the materials earlier .

There was only one thing left that I have forgotten to buy before .

I forgot to buy it because I put my thought more on the ruins raid rather than the Enhancer .

I went towards the main street in order to purchase some .

Finding the store that deals the desired item, I entered .

There was a lot of them stocked in the inventory .

It seems that there were no shortage of this type of goods .

There are several types of the item I needed .

Their prices seem to differ from one another depending on the details on the said item .

However... the store owner won’t allow me to confirm the contents at all .

After checking them out, I presented the selected item towards the storekeeper .

[Can I have this?]

I finished the transaction and left the store .

Well, I kept standing outside the premises of the store and leaned my back against the store’s outer wall .

Untying the knot of the item, I spread it out in front of me .

[Let’s see, Jonato Principality is here...]

I have just purchased a world map .

I wanted to get this before .

The Urza Kingdom where I am now is located in the southern part of the continent .

Looking through here, Mills seems to be the southernmost city in Urza .

Further south of Mills, there is a dark-colored forest and the Disposal Ruins .

Right in the center of the continent lies the Great Ruins, the Golden Demon Zone .

North of the continent lies the Magnal Kingdom .

[The Magnal in the north is the forefront force against the Great Demon Emperor, or so I heard...]

The Kingdom of Magnal was spreading out from east to west .

It’s a pretty long country based on this map .

Magnal occupies most of the top par of the continent .

That place that the fallen Great Fortress – Night Wall was situated in seems to be somewhere in between two mountains .

Sharp mountain-like symbols were extending out towards the east and west of the fort .

I see .

So, they’ve set up the fortress in this plain area huh...

Before this fortress have fallen, they must have been obstructing the intruders in this place .

The name of the Mira Empire is written in the southwestern part of the continent .

This is a place that I’ve only known for the first time .

Situated in the southeast lies the Bakuos Empire .

Nearby, there’s the Holy Kingdom of Neia that is sandwiched in between Urza and Bakuos .

I heard that Bakuos has invaded them and they had surrendered though...

It seems that this map hasn’t been revised yet .

And then, there’s the Jonato Principality that’s located in the northwest part of the continent .

That’s the country that Mist said she was aiming for .

[However...]

I shift my line of sight towards the upper right corner of the map .

The Alion Kingdom is located in the northeast part of the continent .

It’s the country where that f*cking goddess lives .

North — Magnal Kingdom

Northeast — Alion Kingdom

Northwest — Jonato Principality

—In the Center — The Golden Demon Zone

Southeast — Bakuos Empire

Southwest — Mira Empire

South — Urza Empire

There are these six countries on in this continent, that’s if you exclude the Golden Demon Zone .

Alright .

I have roughly grasped the locations of the these countries .

[............ . ]

I was able to grasp the information that I wanted to confirm .

I proceeded on checking out the time .

There should still be plenty of time until the time we promised to meet up .

If that’s so...

[Is it possible for me to just go back to the inn and get started?]

–to make the Monster Enhancer .

v

After excusing myself from the innkeeper, I started making the Enhancers in my room .

It can be said to be easy to make since it only makes use of a single material .

I quickly washed the utensils that I would be using with water in the area below .

Pigimaru is lying on the bed .

He’s swaying left and right, but he’s trying to keep quiet as much as possible .

I spread out the tools on top of a clean mattress .

Overall, the utensils were quite compact .

Or rather, I chose the utensils that were as compact as possible .

It’s so that it would be easier for me to bring them on my trip .

Well, I might still make use of it in the future...

I reconfirmed the contents in the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts” that was left open beside me .

[Let’s see, I should first...]

First, I should finely crush the bones .

Again and again, I pounded down on the bone in a mortar and turned it into powder .

Crush~ Crunch~

Next, mix the powder with water .

[Hmm?]

When they had thoroughly mixed, it looks like the water level has considerably decreased .

The color has also changed from its silver color to a translucent blue .

[Next would be...]

I put the mixture into a glass container and heated it .

There are special tools that were specifically just for heating .

When it was heated, the transparency of the blue bone powder is increasing .

Until finally, it became transparent .

I feel like I’m doing some kind of science experiment or some sort .

[After this, I will use this filter to— wait, before I do that...]

There were some crystals that were attached to the filter .

When I’ve injected magic element into the crystal, it began to shine .

With this, this filter could neatly filter things through some unique ability .

The price of this thing and that heating magic tool was quite hefty .

It seems that tools that make use of magic energy is somewhat more expensive .

By the way, they said that these tools can’t be used indefinitely because it has some sort of life span which depends on the number of uses each tool could do .

The first filtration for the mixture of bone powder and water is finally finished .

I repeated this until all of the bone meal was used .

And with this...

[It’s finally complete . ]

I seem to have used up a lot of bone meal...

[If you mix water with the bone meal, the water level would go down by a lot . In the end, I only have around the volume of one coffee cup...]

Anyway, the Monster Enhancer is finally complete .

Suddenly, I felt really drowsy .

I check out the time in my pocket watch .

[Should I sleep for a bit...?]

Sleep is really important .

I still had some fatigue that accumulated in the Mills Ruins that hasn’t been released yet .

I would try to use the Enhancer to Pigimaru later I’ve taken some sleep .

It would be hard for me to sleep properly after I tried using it and something wrong suddenly springs up .

Well, I think it’s going to be okay since the effect was written down in the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts” .

[And with that, We’ll just use the Enhancer later . ]

[Pii~ ♪]

After asking Pigimaru to wake me up if something happens, I fell asleep on the soft bed .
