FLFO – Chapter 65 – The Sorciere Girl
I woke up in the morning and started digging for ore.
Since my «Mining» skill has evolved into its secondary «Mining» skill I can now mine two ores at a time. And perhaps because of the increased skill level, the chance of Magic Iron appearing has also increased. It’s rather delicious. I’m happy.
My combat skills also improved during yesterday afternoons mining. It seems that basic secondary skills will learn new arts and magic up to level 30, while the previous skills are strengthened from 35.
«High-Class Magic Ability» is now at 35, but everyday life magic is more efficient as a result. In other words, it is not a huge benefit. The overall effectiveness increases with the skill level though, so I suppose it is better than nothing…
«Magic Catalyst» gave [Magic Stance] at level 20. The magic attack power increases, while magic defence decreases. [Magic Stance] may be okay.
«Luminous Magic» learned [Lumen Ray], so now I can fire lasers.
Right, I’m done with digging, so let’s have breakfast.
After finishing my morning activities, I promptly log back in. What should I do today?
…Let’s make some magic clay for now. I leave the detached palace to collect some soil and water.
And after collecting some, return to the palace and head to the alchemy room to buff myself while crafting some magic clay. Use Pure soil, Water of Recollection and try Orbs instead of magic stones.
Now, unleash your magic!
…… Well, let’s just say it’s a self-destruction. It’s a shame that the reason for it is my own lack of skill. My HP keeps on dropping while I craft.
I’ll use the magic clay I did manage to make into a bottle for holding water.
[Tool] Pure Recollection Bottle Rare: Ep Quality: B
A water bottle made from magic clay with an abundance of magical power.
Suitable for storing water containing magical power.
Yeah, that’s fine.
[Attribute Synthesis]
By combining two attributes, you can further strengthen them.
Hmm…Does this mean that composite attributes are possible?
This will need verification, but it is impossible for the time being, as I don’t have the materials. I have yet to find any materials with attributes to begin with.
There is a way to prepare multiple attribute metals and try it out…but that has a high cost.
I’ve made about 25 Magic Clay and have 32 Orbs left. There are also 20 Clear Orbs now.
Using Orbs for production is pretty extravagant, isn’t it? Magic stones are rare drops though, so it’s nice to have a free alternative.
Hmmm…For now, I will make 2 ingots from 8 Magic Iron ores. Then convert them into Almandine Magic Iron. This makes three in total, so if I give it to Ertz-san he can turn them into a one-handed weapon.
Alright, let’s go visit Lana until lunch.
After finishing my lunch of some somen noodles I had at home I logged in for the afternoon.
I learned [Defence Form] in the morning. I don’t think it will see its turn all that much, though.
I filled up the water bottle I made with Water of Recollection.
Time to go see Ertz-san.
“Welcome”
“I came to see the owner. I’m Anastasia.”
“Wait a moment, please.”
I ask the clerk to call Ertz-san.
“Would you like to process it?” I asked to Ertz-san when he came out, and handed him the slightly red iron ingot.
“Oh!? It’s time for a new facility! Three of them? What do you want me to make?”
“A one-handed hammer, please. Right…the mace type.”
“Mace it is. I’ll get on it right away.”
Even if you say one-handed hammer, there are several shapes. The spikey ball-like morningstar, a simple hammer, and a mace.
The simpler the shape, the higher the durability…apparently. More specifically, even if the displayed value is the same 100, that of a two-handed sword is different from that of a fine sword. The 100 from slashing with a blade is also different from the 100 of defending without one.
The durability in this game is all displayed as percentages, and depending on how you use something it can break. In other words, it’s probably better to say that the simpler it is, the harder it is to break.
Weapons are used for attacking and armour for defending. If you use the appropriate thing in the appropriate way durability loss will be less. Therefore guarding with a weapon is risky if it fails. You need to learn to do it well without relying on arts.
It will take some time to make, so I’ll sell some Vanadium and Molybdenum to the clerk and replenish my pickaxes.
“Isn’t that..the elder sister?”
“Hmm …? Oh, Ichi … No, it’s the class rep, right?”
One of the players in the store as a customer is a classmate.
“I’m Lapis. The rumoured princess … Anastasia? That means your sister is …”
“She is my sister indeed. You can call me Tasha, or Stasha. I don’t mind Princess either.”
“Hmm … is Tasha okay?”
“That’s fine.”
My class’s class rep. Ichinomiya Ruri … Ruri → Ruri Blue colour→ Lapis Lazuli → Lapis. In a sense, it’s the same.
“Tasha also plays games, then?”
“Of course, my sister loves games. I got this game from my sister, when she won it as a prize for the beta fighting tournament. I didn’t think you were the type to play games either.”
“I just happened to be able to buy it. It was a good price, so it would be a shame if I didn’t play it…and it was quite fun.”
When I tried it, it was fun and I got hooked, too.
Welcome to the swamp. Welcome.
“Oh, I made you wait. I got what I expected.”
“A fire mace, is it? How much is it?”
“I want information instead of money. I’m willing to pay for it.”
“Hmm … well, that’s fine. Then Lapis-san, I’ll see you later.”
“See you.”
After registering her as a friend, I followed Ertz-san towards the workshop.
Naturally, the atmosphere is quite different from the alchemy room. It’s a blacksmith’s workshop, so there are furnaces and anvils.
“Well…the attribute metal was made with alchemy. I don’t know any other way to make it.”
“Alchemy…”
“So far, it’s a combination of a Magic Iron ingot, magic stones and gemstones.”
“So that’s why Almandine Magic Iron. I have not even gotten Magic Iron in the first place…”
“It hasn’t appeared yet?”
“At least it hasn’t been brought in yet.”
“If I had to guess, it will not be Magic Iron unless the iron vein is in a place with a high concentration of mana. It looks like it might be a requirement to put a barrier and ore vein in your housing. The Nether seems to have a high mana concentration though.”
“I see. Those barriers are expensive but … should I try? How much can I get?”
“About half of what I get from mining it is Magic Iron, so it is a good probability. It may depend on the concentration, but it is hard to say with nothing to compare to.”
“Hmm…The fate of the first batch. Do I have no choice but to be a pillar?..”
The first batch is basically groping in the dark. Most of the information on the market is provided by the pillars that are the top players.
Only the management know the specifications. Someone has to try it out, so the information can spread. It’s a gamble that sometimes exceeds expectations and sometimes disappoints.
If the first person does not give out the information, the number of victims will increase…
Let’s leave aside attribute metals for the time being and negotiate with Ertz-san.
Magic Iron processing. It is necessary for the creation of Haltium equipment.
“I’m sure the Magic Iron processing will be delicious too, so I don’t mind. I’ll give you a discount on Haltium equipment. I usually get my materials as ingots, but the top materials are different. It’s not a problem, since the Haltium becomes experience for me.”
“I’ve told Dantel-san about the mana concentration and such because of the Magic Silkworms. I think it’s still in the verification stage…”
“We can look into this more later… For the time being, one-handed sword, one-handed hammer, two-handed sword, two-handed hammer, small shield, large shield, right?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s tough to have a summon that can use equipment. That’s about 670,000 after the discount.”
“Oh, it’s been reduced a lot. The problem is that I don’t have the money.”
“Did you spend it on the housing?”
For more_novel, visit lightnovelworld.com
“Yes, I already spent a crazy amount…”
“Well, I’ll make it now, but you can come get it whenever.”
I can make money by cooking, or buy magic stones on consignment and sell them after converting to magic clay. There also seems to be a demand for talismans at the moment, which is troubling.
Before I went to bed yesterday I asked Dantel to make me a saddle. That cost 200,000, so money is tight.
Shall I hand over the ore for the time being and go to work?
Well, I left Ertz-san’s shop and went to the Union to collect the consignment sales. I made 500,000 from the talismans and magic clay….Is that about 1.1m including my savings?
It was enough to cover my expenses without selling it, but since I would be out of money I’d have to sell it eventually anyway.
The magic clay is selling well, so there are people who are using it, then.
The medium size of the magic stone is … about 800. Isn’t it better to use this than the Orbs? The demand for magic stones is not high at the moment. Should I secure some before people find a use for them and the price goes up?
I can get 100 of them for 80,000.
Jerky is … quite popular now, so it’s easily available. The price is a little lower than I was selling it for, but it’s not as low as I expected. In other words, it seems that it can be used to earn more.
Um … the recipe for magic paper is … vegetable fiber and magic viscous gel. Magical viscous gel is … slime gel, water and magic stones
The size of the stone doesn’t matter here, so the the minimum is 200 each. The fiber can be paper or wood scraps.
If I buy the paper, it’s 400 each, but if I make it myself, I get 5 pieces at a time. The cost of the magic stone and slime gel materials is about 60 per sheet. It’s better to buy the materials on consignment than to buy directly from Master then.
The time and effort involved in making them is not worth it, so I’ll use [Reproduction] for this.
I got 100 each of magic stones and slime gels, for 28,000.
I already have cooking ingredients, so there’s nothing in particular to buy there.
I’ll go back home and mass produce jerky, talismans and magic clay.
I have a lot of rumps and Tokkei meat, so I’ll turn the rump into jerky and the Tokkei into fried chicken.
I have the seasoning set received from the event, so there is no problem with seasonings.
[Shortened Processing]
A passive art that shortens the time required for preparation work.
It’s simple, but useful.
I’ve been working hard on mass producing the water for magical viscous gel, using the water of recollection. To earn money, you need numbers.
900 jerky, 190 fried chicken, 1200 talismans and 15 pieces of magic clay.
Magic clay has a high price per unit, but it is not very efficient. The other items can be made in multiples, but the clay has to be made one at a time.
To be honest, the money making efficiency of jerky is out of this world. You can make 60 pieces from a single piece of meat. It’s certainly a pain to make, but is worth it.
Oh, space, huh? It’s nice and convenient that it goes up on its own. The biggest problem is that it is not very useful or useable, though.
[Inventory Control]
Allows you to expand your inventory. You can choose whether or not to stop the time individually.
[Space Reinforcement]
A passive art that strengthens defensive magic and binding.
So that’s it? This is also rather simple… It’s certainly useful, but does this allow for inventory time manipulation?
…Speaking of which, let’s put the wine barrel out in the room. Yes, I already have my own house… It honestly slipped my mind.
Isn’t being able to use [Return] a pleasant feeling? Can’t I also learn a short-distance transfer?
Well, I guess I’ll go to the Union. When I got settled in, the production ate a lot of time, and it’s now evening in-game.
Leaving myself with 200,000 for the saddle I deposited the rest, and I’ve put the four types of item I made up on consignment.
Now to get in touch with Dantel-san and go buy it.
“Oh, you’re here.”
“Good day. I came to buy.”
“200,000”
“Here you go.”
“Thanks.”
I immediately equipped the horse and wyvern with it from the interface. It will be a problem if the body is bones, so it’s a zombie.
With a saddle, it seems you can use the «Ride» skill, so it’s easier to ride.
“I bought that thing, and it worked just fine.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Were the conditions correct?”
“I was able to start collecting straight away, but it’s hard to get enough. It might be better to have a training skill.”
“Did you take it?”
“Hmm. I think I’m going to take it. I’m going to use up a few rooms.”
If you buy more than one, you can increase the amount you can harvest. The problem is the land space for expansion.
“Speaking of which, it’s a different matter, but the prospects for dresses and maid clothes have also come to light.”
“Another matter?”
“It seems that Arachne people can produce spider silk. I’m waiting for delivery.”
“Spider Silk… I see. What are its characteristics?”
“Spider Silk for the vanguard. Wild Mana Silk is for the rearguard. And Royal Mana Silk, is an all-purpose type? If in doubt, go with Royal. And here’s the price.”
“I wonder if Ellie and Abbie have the money ready.”
“I’ve given you the price, so can you pass it on please, Princess.”
“Alright. Thank you very much.”
We talked for a while before I left Dantel-san’s shop.
As I walked along, with the sky turning orange, I looked to the west and spotted..something coming, right?
Something’s flying….A person on a broom! Like a witch! I can see a green marker, so they must be a Resident.
I remember hearing that witches were going to gather….Did they actually start to gather here? If so, there’s a good chance the person from yesterday was also a witch.
Their aim is probably the water of recollection.
That said, there’s no need for me to be directly involved. People who have returned from the dead are taking it home with them. That is unless you want high quality.
A witch girl with beautiful silver hair and blue eyes is coming straight towards me.
“A rich and dense sense of death…a high-ranking Immortal. I want to know your name…”
She has a beautiful voice, but it’s a very leisurely tone, isn’t it? Is she the type that goes at her own pace and does not change her facial expressions much?
I have heard that witches tend to have a researchers temperament and are often…a bit weird.
“I’m Anastasia Atropos Nemeseia.”
“Nemeseia….! It’s my first time hitting such a jackpot… I’m honored to meet you…”
The girl’s name is Sophie Lilywhite Sorciere.
“I see. Sorciere-san.”
“Hmmmm…no. That’s more like a title. Just Sophie…”
“Oh my, you’re here too, Lilywhite-sama? And you’ve made contact with her…. Don’t bother her too much, okay?”
“Hmmm, it’s been a long time.”
It’s Lucianna-san, isn’t it?
So you’re a person of status, at least to the extent that Lucianna-san adds a ‘sama’ to your name. And you seem on good terms.
I’m also interested in the fact that it’s like a title. Hmmm, sorciere? Was it French for witch?
“Are you a witch, Sophie-san?”
“Hmm, a witch with the name of Sorciere.”
In other words, it is a way of saying that Sorciere itself has meaning.
“Anastasia-san. What do the Outsiders know about witches?”
“Most people probably have no idea. I asked Megan-san a few things, but the names did not come up….”
“Then let me explain the names.”
New novel_chapters are published here: lightnovelworld.com
She said she will tell us, so let’s have her do so. There is no reason to refuse.
“Witches have a ranking system. The lowest is an Apprentice Witch. After passing certain trials they will become a full-fledged Witch. Those who have gained power and also own their own pharmacy are called Great Witches. Among them, only a few become Immortal Witches.”
“So then…”
“Yes, Lilywhite-sama is definitely a genius, and is well known amongst the witches. She is the youngest person to become a Sorciere. When you become a Sorciere your growth stops…In other words, you remain the same as before.”
When I look at Sophie-san, she is holding the broom she arrived on, with a look of pride and her chest puffed out….not that there is much there.
By the way, she looks like a girl of about 12, and is wearing a so-called gothic lolita style dress and a big hat. As a matter of course, the colour is black.
Yeah, it’s a witch.
“Now I think I should have grown up a little more… I ran straight after my passion and this is what I got…”
So she says, while looking at my chest. Although there is almost no change in facial expression, I get the impression she is frustrated.
For now, it seems okay to consider her one of the most amazing witches.
By the point of Great Witch, they also seem to have the power to fight.
“Would you like to stay at my house? Or will you go to the Markalant family?”
“Hmm, thanks for your help. I brought some souvenirs…”
“Then I will prepare a room for you. Would you like to come right away?”
“Hmm … later.”
“Then I’ll head back.”
“Hmm.”
Is Sophie-san staying at the church?
Lucianna-san went home.
I’m curious about Sophie-san’s broom.
I don’t think the management here will make it that easy to fly, but if you have the right tools, you can fly too, right?
“I attached a dungeon gravity core and air thrusters…”
Sophie-san, who noticed my gaze, showed me.
It’s from a dungeon? I’m really curious about it.
“It’s got air thrusters on the front and back… and the gravity core in the centre. When you get used to it, it’s not bad…Except for poor full efficiency…”
“It takes some getting used to?”
“The thrusters will blow you away after you spin round and round…”
In terms of image… Is the direction changed by the thruster while straddling the horizontal bar? If you can’t keep your balance you’ll spin around and then be blown away by the thrusters.
As expected of management. They never disappoint.
“If I could get more, it would be stable, but I’m used to it now…”
“Can you make it yourself?”
“You only need to get the important parts, air thrusters and gravity cores…”
“I see…”
“And if you run out of magic in the sky….of course you’ll fall…”
“Well, yeah…”
“So, unless you have a lot of magic power, your servants and summons are more stable…”
So it’s a magic type.
Since it’s a broom there is no way that it can glide, and the moment the fuel runs out, do you exchange a passionate hug with the ground? It’s dangerous.
And this girl has a considerable amount of magic power.
“By the way, I want you to show me the materials of the Nether…”
“There are five kinds that I have right now. Let’s see…”
I will show you what I have one by one. Lotus, water, soil, punica, and netherlite.
“Very good stuff. I want them all… Especially the Moon-Netherlite. A better version of this…”
“This is about the limit of my skill…”
“Nemeseia should be the royal family. You can get it …”
“….That’s right. I can just ask for it..”
What a blind spot!
If I talk to the maid about it, she can get the person in charge to pick some up for me.
At least in the current situation, they are probably more skilled than I am. Aside from the vein in the housing, should I ask for anything else …?
“You did not notice….?”
“Yeah … let’s do that next time.”
“As thanks for these gems…I’m going to research and develop a resurrection potion…for Outsiders. I’ll give you a recipe when it’s finished…”
I was able to attract the interest of a living legend, Sophie Lilywhite.
It might be a good idea to give her the items she wants, and get in her good graces.
1. Deliver a Moon-Netherlite of quality A or better.
Condition: Negotiate with a Resident capable of making a resurrection potion.
Completion Reward: Recipe for Resurrection Potions for Outsiders.
This…I’m going to have to do this. Will the resurrection item finally be available?
But I am a bit doubtful that it will work right now?
“Sophie-san, will you be in this town for a while?”
“Hmm, I’m planning to be.”
“At the church, right? I’m going to the Nether for a while, so I’ll see you later.”
“Before you go back, sell me the water you have now…”
“Is this quality okay?”
“It’s good because you can change it depending on what you want…”
To be honest, from my point of view, it’s not worth much because I am just fetching it. I’m also not the only one who sells it, so it’s difficult to set a price.
It seems she has a container, so let’s transfer it and give it away.
I guess I’ll get paid for the higher quality that I’ll be picking up.
As the game changes to nighttime I parted from Sophie-san and returned to the detached palace.
After transferring, I gave the nearby maid three water bottles made of magic clay, and a Gushing Flask with its contents reset, and asked her to draw water for me.
In the meantime I’ll ask the…I guess my exclusive maid, who is usually nearby.
“I want a Moon-Netherlite of quality A or better, can I get it?”
“Of course. If you want it Sire, we’ll get it right away.”
“Then I’ll need one, please.”
“Understood.”
A little while later, the water came. When I checked the quality I found it to be…A+. It’s much better than drawing it myself.
The Gushing Flask is also A+, so that’s great.
After a little more, a large, beautiful jewel arrived. A Moon-Netherlite, also of A+ quality.
This seems like it will allow me to proceed with the quest. Was it 6pm when the morning came in-game? I guess I should go to Ertz-san’s place to pick up the equipment.
I went to the Union again and withdrew 670,000. My savings are down to 200,000. ….It has decreased considerably, but I’m sure it will return when I collect the consignment sales that are currently posted. I’ll be patient for a while.
Now I will bust into Ertz-san’s place.
“…Oh, Tasha. Good timing.”
“It’s Lapis-san. What can I do for you?”
“I’m worried about my equipment and I was hoping you could give me some advice…”
Really? It’s been a month since the second batch arrived, so it’s probably not a problem with the type of weapon, but materials?
“I’m using bronze now, should I change to iron?”
“What is your base level now?”
“21”
Follow new_episodes on the lightnovelworld.com platform.
“If that’s the case, skip iron and go for steel. It’s safe to assume your weapon will not change in the 20’s, so steel is ideal. Cobalt HSS is supposed to be for the 30’s,so we’ll have to stick with steel until then.”
“So I can get a little excited and buy steel, right?”
“The top groups are shifting to Cobalt HSS, so the price of steel equipment is dropping. It’s a good time to buy…though you could also wait a little longer.”
There is quite a large price difference between steel and cobalt HSS equipment.
This is for the top tier teams, so that’s why it is more expensive….but cobalt HSS is an alloy of five different types, right? The cost goes up, so the selling price does too.
Iron is made into steel, and chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium are mixed with the steel. Naturally, the price will be higher than turning iron into steel and making a weapon from it as it is.
Even if you use the [Reproduction] art, it is a lot of labour.
“Is there anything else?”
“Haltium has come out in the last few days. It’s probably an improvement over cobalt HSS, so the steel could drop further.”
“I see. Then maybe I should wait…”
“Even so, a two-handed hammer is powerful.”
“Well, it’s easier, because you just have to hit with it. I haven’t played a lot of games.”
“I see. One-handed sword and shield are said to be an orthodox style, but in terms of simplicity, I’d say the two-handed hammer.”
It is often said that you have to hold the blade correctly, and make sure you slash in a smooth line to use the edge best, but the sword system is actually rather plain, isn’t it.
Some skill is required to use a sword. It particularly has a lot of influence on the Japanese sword system, apparently.
Compared to that, the hammer is a blunt instrument, so you can just smack things with it. However, it still requires some technique to make a clean hit with a blunt instrument.
Lapis’s two-handed hammer is a hammer type… a warhammer.
It’s really simple because you don’t have to think about using a shield to protect yourself. You just hit your target with all your might.
“Oh, you came? Did you get it?”
“670,000, right?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve collected the consignments and made some money, so I brought it.”
“It’s been a good skill training. I’ll give you the Magic Iron too.”
Trade money for the equipment, the equipment goes straight into «Necromantic Secrets», and I’ll switch the template equipment.
And then, summon the armour-type with Haltium equipped.
“How is it #1. Is there a problem?”
“kata-kata“
“It seems not.
I’ll send back the armour and summon again as bones.
“Any problems?”
“Kata-kata“
“Okay, [Change Arms]”
#1 puts the one-handed hammer and shield in the magic circle that appeared in front of him, and pulls out his two-handed hammer.
“Is there a problem there?”
“Kakun“
“There is…”
However, since #1 can’t speak, he is expressing himself through actions.
You’re making a lifting motion….
“Is it heavy? Is it a weight issue?”
“Kakun“
“A lack of strength”
“Kakun“
“Oh, well, Haltium seems to be quite heavy, doesn’t it.”
Hmm… I’ll re-summon with a zombie body instead of bones.
“What’s the problem?”
“Katakata“
“Hmm … Is it a drawback of the bone body? Light weapons are for bones, heavy ones are for zombies …”
Let’s switch from zombie to the skeleton wolf and try it.
“How about that?”
“Kata-kata“
“No problem?”
“Kakun“
“Hmm … Is it because it has four legs? Same bones, but a different body type…”
I’ll change the template a little and save it.
I guess the bronze one-handed hammer and zelkova round shield are no longer useful. I’ll ask Ertz’san to take them back.
“Is Cobalt HSS lighter than Haltium? I wonder if I can balance it around that. I’ll have to try alloys… Then I’ll get back to work.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“Sure, thanks a lot!”
Ertz-san returned to the workshop.
“You can pay 670,000? As expected of the top players.”
“I’m also doing production, so I earn money there. The equipment is for summons. The price is so high because there are so many of them….”
“I’m curious about the summoning system….”
“Basically, it’s a training game. I’ve heard that it will change a little depending on how you have them behave, such as fighting style and what they are eating.”
“I’m a little jealous when I see people holding rabbits and such.”
“The bones…are also cute when you look at them …”
“I don’t think I have that hobby …”
“Isn’t it cute? The mini-skeleton.”
“Oh, this might be a little cute…”
Well, the mini-skeleton is a worker, so it’s special.
After this, I passed the time talking with Lapis-san for a while.
I mainly taught her how to use the BBS. It’s convenient for collecting information. However, I also told her to take it with a grain of salt.
“Then, I’m going to go run some errands now that it’s morning in-game.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
“Mm, bye.”
The sun had risen a little while ago, so I parted ways with Lapis-san and headed to the church, asking a nearby sister to call Sophie-san.
After a short wait, Sophie-san arrived, looking a little sleepy.
“Good morning. I have come to deliver the items you ordered.”
She seems to have woken up perfectly when I lined up the three water bottles. Her eyes changed from sleepy to sparkling.
Then I gave her the Moon-Netherlite.
“Oh…very good. The royal family is amazing…”
“Is that okay?”
“Hmm, perfect. I’ll keep my promise…”
『Research and development of resurrection potions for Outsiders』
I was able to attract the interest of a living legend, Sophie Lilywhite.
It might be a good idea to give her the items she wants, and get in her good graces.

FLFO – Chapter 65 – The Sorciere Girl
I woke up in the morning and started digging for ore.
Since my «Mining» skill has evolved into its secondary «Mining» skill I can now mine two ores at a time. And perhaps because of the increased skill level, the chance of Magic Iron appearing has also increased. It’s rather delicious. I’m happy.
My combat skills also improved during yesterday afternoons mining. It seems that basic secondary skills will learn new arts and magic up to level 30, while the previous skills are strengthened from 35.
«High-Class Magic Ability» is now at 35, but everyday life magic is more efficient as a result. In other words, it is not a huge benefit. The overall effectiveness increases with the skill level though, so I suppose it is better than nothing…
«Magic Catalyst» gave [Magic Stance] at level 20. The magic attack power increases, while magic defence decreases. [Magic Stance] may be okay.
«Luminous Magic» learned [Lumen Ray], so now I can fire lasers.
Right, I’m done with digging, so let’s have breakfast.
After finishing my morning activities, I promptly log back in. What should I do today?
…Let’s make some magic clay for now. I leave the detached palace to collect some soil and water.
And after collecting some, return to the palace and head to the alchemy room to buff myself while crafting some magic clay. Use Pure soil, Water of Recollection and try Orbs instead of magic stones.
Now, unleash your magic!
…… Well, let’s just say it’s a self-destruction. It’s a shame that the reason for it is my own lack of skill. My HP keeps on dropping while I craft.
I’ll use the magic clay I did manage to make into a bottle for holding water.
[Tool] Pure Recollection Bottle Rare: Ep Quality: B
A water bottle made from magic clay with an abundance of magical power.
Suitable for storing water containing magical power.
Yeah, that’s fine.
[Attribute Synthesis]
By combining two attributes, you can further strengthen them.
Hmm…Does this mean that composite attributes are possible?
This will need verification, but it is impossible for the time being, as I don’t have the materials. I have yet to find any materials with attributes to begin with.
There is a way to prepare multiple attribute metals and try it out…but that has a high cost.
I’ve made about 25 Magic Clay and have 32 Orbs left. There are also 20 Clear Orbs now.
Using Orbs for production is pretty extravagant, isn’t it? Magic stones are rare drops though, so it’s nice to have a free alternative.
Hmmm…For now, I will make 2 ingots from 8 Magic Iron ores. Then convert them into Almandine Magic Iron. This makes three in total, so if I give it to Ertz-san he can turn them into a one-handed weapon.
Alright, let’s go visit Lana until lunch.
After finishing my lunch of some somen noodles I had at home I logged in for the afternoon.
I learned [Defence Form] in the morning. I don’t think it will see its turn all that much, though.
I filled up the water bottle I made with Water of Recollection.
Time to go see Ertz-san.
“Welcome”
“I came to see the owner. I’m Anastasia.”
“Wait a moment, please.”
I ask the clerk to call Ertz-san.
“Would you like to process it?” I asked to Ertz-san when he came out, and handed him the slightly red iron ingot.
“Oh!? It’s time for a new facility! Three of them? What do you want me to make?”
“A one-handed hammer, please. Right…the mace type.”
“Mace it is. I’ll get on it right away.”
Even if you say one-handed hammer, there are several shapes. The spikey ball-like morningstar, a simple hammer, and a mace.
The simpler the shape, the higher the durability…apparently. More specifically, even if the displayed value is the same 100, that of a two-handed sword is different from that of a fine sword. The 100 from slashing with a blade is also different from the 100 of defending without one.
The durability in this game is all displayed as percentages, and depending on how you use something it can break. In other words, it’s probably better to say that the simpler it is, the harder it is to break.
Weapons are used for attacking and armour for defending. If you use the appropriate thing in the appropriate way durability loss will be less. Therefore guarding with a weapon is risky if it fails. You need to learn to do it well without relying on arts.
It will take some time to make, so I’ll sell some Vanadium and Molybdenum to the clerk and replenish my pickaxes.
“Isn’t that..the elder sister?”
“Hmm …? Oh, Ichi … No, it’s the class rep, right?”
One of the players in the store as a customer is a classmate.
“I’m Lapis. The rumoured princess … Anastasia? That means your sister is …”
“She is my sister indeed. You can call me Tasha, or Stasha. I don’t mind Princess either.”
“Hmm … is Tasha okay?”
“That’s fine.”
My class’s class rep. Ichinomiya Ruri … Ruri → Ruri Blue colour→ Lapis Lazuli → Lapis. In a sense, it’s the same.
“Tasha also plays games, then?”
“Of course, my sister loves games. I got this game from my sister, when she won it as a prize for the beta fighting tournament. I didn’t think you were the type to play games either.”
“I just happened to be able to buy it. It was a good price, so it would be a shame if I didn’t play it…and it was quite fun.”
When I tried it, it was fun and I got hooked, too.
Welcome to the swamp. Welcome.
“Oh, I made you wait. I got what I expected.”
“A fire mace, is it? How much is it?”
“I want information instead of money. I’m willing to pay for it.”
“Hmm … well, that’s fine. Then Lapis-san, I’ll see you later.”
“See you.”
After registering her as a friend, I followed Ertz-san towards the workshop.
Naturally, the atmosphere is quite different from the alchemy room. It’s a blacksmith’s workshop, so there are furnaces and anvils.
“Well…the attribute metal was made with alchemy. I don’t know any other way to make it.”
“Alchemy…”
“So far, it’s a combination of a Magic Iron ingot, magic stones and gemstones.”
“So that’s why Almandine Magic Iron. I have not even gotten Magic Iron in the first place…”
“It hasn’t appeared yet?”
“At least it hasn’t been brought in yet.”
“If I had to guess, it will not be Magic Iron unless the iron vein is in a place with a high concentration of mana. It looks like it might be a requirement to put a barrier and ore vein in your housing. The Nether seems to have a high mana concentration though.”
“I see. Those barriers are expensive but … should I try? How much can I get?”
“About half of what I get from mining it is Magic Iron, so it is a good probability. It may depend on the concentration, but it is hard to say with nothing to compare to.”
“Hmm…The fate of the first batch. Do I have no choice but to be a pillar?..”
The first batch is basically groping in the dark. Most of the information on the market is provided by the pillars that are the top players.
Only the management know the specifications. Someone has to try it out, so the information can spread. It’s a gamble that sometimes exceeds expectations and sometimes disappoints.
If the first person does not give out the information, the number of victims will increase…
Let’s leave aside attribute metals for the time being and negotiate with Ertz-san.
Magic Iron processing. It is necessary for the creation of Haltium equipment.
“I’m sure the Magic Iron processing will be delicious too, so I don’t mind. I’ll give you a discount on Haltium equipment. I usually get my materials as ingots, but the top materials are different. It’s not a problem, since the Haltium becomes experience for me.”
“I’ve told Dantel-san about the mana concentration and such because of the Magic Silkworms. I think it’s still in the verification stage…”
“We can look into this more later… For the time being, one-handed sword, one-handed hammer, two-handed sword, two-handed hammer, small shield, large shield, right?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s tough to have a summon that can use equipment. That’s about 670,000 after the discount.”
“Oh, it’s been reduced a lot. The problem is that I don’t have the money.”
“Did you spend it on the housing?”
For more_novel, visit lightnovelworld.com
“Yes, I already spent a crazy amount…”
“Well, I’ll make it now, but you can come get it whenever.”
I can make money by cooking, or buy magic stones on consignment and sell them after converting to magic clay. There also seems to be a demand for talismans at the moment, which is troubling.
Before I went to bed yesterday I asked Dantel to make me a saddle. That cost 200,000, so money is tight.
Shall I hand over the ore for the time being and go to work?
Well, I left Ertz-san’s shop and went to the Union to collect the consignment sales. I made 500,000 from the talismans and magic clay….Is that about 1.1m including my savings?
It was enough to cover my expenses without selling it, but since I would be out of money I’d have to sell it eventually anyway.
The magic clay is selling well, so there are people who are using it, then.
The medium size of the magic stone is … about 800. Isn’t it better to use this than the Orbs? The demand for magic stones is not high at the moment. Should I secure some before people find a use for them and the price goes up?
I can get 100 of them for 80,000.
Jerky is … quite popular now, so it’s easily available. The price is a little lower than I was selling it for, but it’s not as low as I expected. In other words, it seems that it can be used to earn more.
Um … the recipe for magic paper is … vegetable fiber and magic viscous gel. Magical viscous gel is … slime gel, water and magic stones
The size of the stone doesn’t matter here, so the the minimum is 200 each. The fiber can be paper or wood scraps.
If I buy the paper, it’s 400 each, but if I make it myself, I get 5 pieces at a time. The cost of the magic stone and slime gel materials is about 60 per sheet. It’s better to buy the materials on consignment than to buy directly from Master then.
The time and effort involved in making them is not worth it, so I’ll use [Reproduction] for this.
I got 100 each of magic stones and slime gels, for 28,000.
I already have cooking ingredients, so there’s nothing in particular to buy there.
I’ll go back home and mass produce jerky, talismans and magic clay.
I have a lot of rumps and Tokkei meat, so I’ll turn the rump into jerky and the Tokkei into fried chicken.
I have the seasoning set received from the event, so there is no problem with seasonings.
[Shortened Processing]
A passive art that shortens the time required for preparation work.
It’s simple, but useful.
I’ve been working hard on mass producing the water for magical viscous gel, using the water of recollection. To earn money, you need numbers.
900 jerky, 190 fried chicken, 1200 talismans and 15 pieces of magic clay.
Magic clay has a high price per unit, but it is not very efficient. The other items can be made in multiples, but the clay has to be made one at a time.
To be honest, the money making efficiency of jerky is out of this world. You can make 60 pieces from a single piece of meat. It’s certainly a pain to make, but is worth it.
Oh, space, huh? It’s nice and convenient that it goes up on its own. The biggest problem is that it is not very useful or useable, though.
[Inventory Control]
Allows you to expand your inventory. You can choose whether or not to stop the time individually.
[Space Reinforcement]
A passive art that strengthens defensive magic and binding.
So that’s it? This is also rather simple… It’s certainly useful, but does this allow for inventory time manipulation?
…Speaking of which, let’s put the wine barrel out in the room. Yes, I already have my own house… It honestly slipped my mind.
Isn’t being able to use [Return] a pleasant feeling? Can’t I also learn a short-distance transfer?
Well, I guess I’ll go to the Union. When I got settled in, the production ate a lot of time, and it’s now evening in-game.
Leaving myself with 200,000 for the saddle I deposited the rest, and I’ve put the four types of item I made up on consignment.
Now to get in touch with Dantel-san and go buy it.
“Oh, you’re here.”
“Good day. I came to buy.”
“200,000”
“Here you go.”
“Thanks.”
I immediately equipped the horse and wyvern with it from the interface. It will be a problem if the body is bones, so it’s a zombie.
With a saddle, it seems you can use the «Ride» skill, so it’s easier to ride.
“I bought that thing, and it worked just fine.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Were the conditions correct?”
“I was able to start collecting straight away, but it’s hard to get enough. It might be better to have a training skill.”
“Did you take it?”
“Hmm. I think I’m going to take it. I’m going to use up a few rooms.”
If you buy more than one, you can increase the amount you can harvest. The problem is the land space for expansion.
“Speaking of which, it’s a different matter, but the prospects for dresses and maid clothes have also come to light.”
“Another matter?”
“It seems that Arachne people can produce spider silk. I’m waiting for delivery.”
“Spider Silk… I see. What are its characteristics?”
“Spider Silk for the vanguard. Wild Mana Silk is for the rearguard. And Royal Mana Silk, is an all-purpose type? If in doubt, go with Royal. And here’s the price.”
“I wonder if Ellie and Abbie have the money ready.”
“I’ve given you the price, so can you pass it on please, Princess.”
“Alright. Thank you very much.”
We talked for a while before I left Dantel-san’s shop.
As I walked along, with the sky turning orange, I looked to the west and spotted..something coming, right?
Something’s flying….A person on a broom! Like a witch! I can see a green marker, so they must be a Resident.
I remember hearing that witches were going to gather….Did they actually start to gather here? If so, there’s a good chance the person from yesterday was also a witch.
Their aim is probably the water of recollection.
That said, there’s no need for me to be directly involved. People who have returned from the dead are taking it home with them. That is unless you want high quality.
A witch girl with beautiful silver hair and blue eyes is coming straight towards me.
“A rich and dense sense of death…a high-ranking Immortal. I want to know your name…”
She has a beautiful voice, but it’s a very leisurely tone, isn’t it? Is she the type that goes at her own pace and does not change her facial expressions much?
I have heard that witches tend to have a researchers temperament and are often…a bit weird.
“I’m Anastasia Atropos Nemeseia.”
“Nemeseia….! It’s my first time hitting such a jackpot… I’m honored to meet you…”
The girl’s name is Sophie Lilywhite Sorciere.
“I see. Sorciere-san.”
“Hmmmm…no. That’s more like a title. Just Sophie…”
“Oh my, you’re here too, Lilywhite-sama? And you’ve made contact with her…. Don’t bother her too much, okay?”
“Hmmm, it’s been a long time.”
It’s Lucianna-san, isn’t it?
So you’re a person of status, at least to the extent that Lucianna-san adds a ‘sama’ to your name. And you seem on good terms.
I’m also interested in the fact that it’s like a title. Hmmm, sorciere? Was it French for witch?
“Are you a witch, Sophie-san?”
“Hmm, a witch with the name of Sorciere.”
In other words, it is a way of saying that Sorciere itself has meaning.
“Anastasia-san. What do the Outsiders know about witches?”
“Most people probably have no idea. I asked Megan-san a few things, but the names did not come up….”
“Then let me explain the names.”
New novel_chapters are published here: lightnovelworld.com
She said she will tell us, so let’s have her do so. There is no reason to refuse.
“Witches have a ranking system. The lowest is an Apprentice Witch. After passing certain trials they will become a full-fledged Witch. Those who have gained power and also own their own pharmacy are called Great Witches. Among them, only a few become Immortal Witches.”
“So then…”
“Yes, Lilywhite-sama is definitely a genius, and is well known amongst the witches. She is the youngest person to become a Sorciere. When you become a Sorciere your growth stops…In other words, you remain the same as before.”
When I look at Sophie-san, she is holding the broom she arrived on, with a look of pride and her chest puffed out….not that there is much there.
By the way, she looks like a girl of about 12, and is wearing a so-called gothic lolita style dress and a big hat. As a matter of course, the colour is black.
Yeah, it’s a witch.
“Now I think I should have grown up a little more… I ran straight after my passion and this is what I got…”
So she says, while looking at my chest. Although there is almost no change in facial expression, I get the impression she is frustrated.
For now, it seems okay to consider her one of the most amazing witches.
By the point of Great Witch, they also seem to have the power to fight.
“Would you like to stay at my house? Or will you go to the Markalant family?”
“Hmm, thanks for your help. I brought some souvenirs…”
“Then I will prepare a room for you. Would you like to come right away?”
“Hmm … later.”
“Then I’ll head back.”
“Hmm.”
Is Sophie-san staying at the church?
Lucianna-san went home.
I’m curious about Sophie-san’s broom.
I don’t think the management here will make it that easy to fly, but if you have the right tools, you can fly too, right?
“I attached a dungeon gravity core and air thrusters…”
Sophie-san, who noticed my gaze, showed me.
It’s from a dungeon? I’m really curious about it.
“It’s got air thrusters on the front and back… and the gravity core in the centre. When you get used to it, it’s not bad…Except for poor full efficiency…”
“It takes some getting used to?”
“The thrusters will blow you away after you spin round and round…”
In terms of image… Is the direction changed by the thruster while straddling the horizontal bar? If you can’t keep your balance you’ll spin around and then be blown away by the thrusters.
As expected of management. They never disappoint.
“If I could get more, it would be stable, but I’m used to it now…”
“Can you make it yourself?”
“You only need to get the important parts, air thrusters and gravity cores…”
“I see…”
“And if you run out of magic in the sky….of course you’ll fall…”
“Well, yeah…”
“So, unless you have a lot of magic power, your servants and summons are more stable…”
So it’s a magic type.
Since it’s a broom there is no way that it can glide, and the moment the fuel runs out, do you exchange a passionate hug with the ground? It’s dangerous.
And this girl has a considerable amount of magic power.
“By the way, I want you to show me the materials of the Nether…”
“There are five kinds that I have right now. Let’s see…”
I will show you what I have one by one. Lotus, water, soil, punica, and netherlite.
“Very good stuff. I want them all… Especially the Moon-Netherlite. A better version of this…”
“This is about the limit of my skill…”
“Nemeseia should be the royal family. You can get it …”
“….That’s right. I can just ask for it..”
What a blind spot!
If I talk to the maid about it, she can get the person in charge to pick some up for me.
At least in the current situation, they are probably more skilled than I am. Aside from the vein in the housing, should I ask for anything else …?
“You did not notice….?”
“Yeah … let’s do that next time.”
“As thanks for these gems…I’m going to research and develop a resurrection potion…for Outsiders. I’ll give you a recipe when it’s finished…”
I was able to attract the interest of a living legend, Sophie Lilywhite.
It might be a good idea to give her the items she wants, and get in her good graces.
1. Deliver a Moon-Netherlite of quality A or better.
Condition: Negotiate with a Resident capable of making a resurrection potion.
Completion Reward: Recipe for Resurrection Potions for Outsiders.
This…I’m going to have to do this. Will the resurrection item finally be available?
But I am a bit doubtful that it will work right now?
“Sophie-san, will you be in this town for a while?”
“Hmm, I’m planning to be.”
“At the church, right? I’m going to the Nether for a while, so I’ll see you later.”
“Before you go back, sell me the water you have now…”
“Is this quality okay?”
“It’s good because you can change it depending on what you want…”
To be honest, from my point of view, it’s not worth much because I am just fetching it. I’m also not the only one who sells it, so it’s difficult to set a price.
It seems she has a container, so let’s transfer it and give it away.
I guess I’ll get paid for the higher quality that I’ll be picking up.
As the game changes to nighttime I parted from Sophie-san and returned to the detached palace.
After transferring, I gave the nearby maid three water bottles made of magic clay, and a Gushing Flask with its contents reset, and asked her to draw water for me.
In the meantime I’ll ask the…I guess my exclusive maid, who is usually nearby.
“I want a Moon-Netherlite of quality A or better, can I get it?”
“Of course. If you want it Sire, we’ll get it right away.”
“Then I’ll need one, please.”
“Understood.”
A little while later, the water came. When I checked the quality I found it to be…A+. It’s much better than drawing it myself.
The Gushing Flask is also A+, so that’s great.
After a little more, a large, beautiful jewel arrived. A Moon-Netherlite, also of A+ quality.
This seems like it will allow me to proceed with the quest. Was it 6pm when the morning came in-game? I guess I should go to Ertz-san’s place to pick up the equipment.
I went to the Union again and withdrew 670,000. My savings are down to 200,000. ….It has decreased considerably, but I’m sure it will return when I collect the consignment sales that are currently posted. I’ll be patient for a while.
Now I will bust into Ertz-san’s place.
“…Oh, Tasha. Good timing.”
“It’s Lapis-san. What can I do for you?”
“I’m worried about my equipment and I was hoping you could give me some advice…”
Really? It’s been a month since the second batch arrived, so it’s probably not a problem with the type of weapon, but materials?
“I’m using bronze now, should I change to iron?”
“What is your base level now?”
“21”
Follow new_episodes on the lightnovelworld.com platform.
“If that’s the case, skip iron and go for steel. It’s safe to assume your weapon will not change in the 20’s, so steel is ideal. Cobalt HSS is supposed to be for the 30’s,so we’ll have to stick with steel until then.”
“So I can get a little excited and buy steel, right?”
“The top groups are shifting to Cobalt HSS, so the price of steel equipment is dropping. It’s a good time to buy…though you could also wait a little longer.”
There is quite a large price difference between steel and cobalt HSS equipment.
This is for the top tier teams, so that’s why it is more expensive….but cobalt HSS is an alloy of five different types, right? The cost goes up, so the selling price does too.
Iron is made into steel, and chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium are mixed with the steel. Naturally, the price will be higher than turning iron into steel and making a weapon from it as it is.
Even if you use the [Reproduction] art, it is a lot of labour.
“Is there anything else?”
“Haltium has come out in the last few days. It’s probably an improvement over cobalt HSS, so the steel could drop further.”
“I see. Then maybe I should wait…”
“Even so, a two-handed hammer is powerful.”
“Well, it’s easier, because you just have to hit with it. I haven’t played a lot of games.”
“I see. One-handed sword and shield are said to be an orthodox style, but in terms of simplicity, I’d say the two-handed hammer.”
It is often said that you have to hold the blade correctly, and make sure you slash in a smooth line to use the edge best, but the sword system is actually rather plain, isn’t it.
Some skill is required to use a sword. It particularly has a lot of influence on the Japanese sword system, apparently.
Compared to that, the hammer is a blunt instrument, so you can just smack things with it. However, it still requires some technique to make a clean hit with a blunt instrument.
Lapis’s two-handed hammer is a hammer type… a warhammer.
It’s really simple because you don’t have to think about using a shield to protect yourself. You just hit your target with all your might.
“Oh, you came? Did you get it?”
“670,000, right?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve collected the consignments and made some money, so I brought it.”
“It’s been a good skill training. I’ll give you the Magic Iron too.”
Trade money for the equipment, the equipment goes straight into «Necromantic Secrets», and I’ll switch the template equipment.
And then, summon the armour-type with Haltium equipped.
“How is it #1. Is there a problem?”
“kata-kata“
“It seems not.
I’ll send back the armour and summon again as bones.
“Any problems?”
“Kata-kata“
“Okay, [Change Arms]”
#1 puts the one-handed hammer and shield in the magic circle that appeared in front of him, and pulls out his two-handed hammer.
“Is there a problem there?”
“Kakun“
“There is…”
However, since #1 can’t speak, he is expressing himself through actions.
You’re making a lifting motion….
“Is it heavy? Is it a weight issue?”
“Kakun“
“A lack of strength”
“Kakun“
“Oh, well, Haltium seems to be quite heavy, doesn’t it.”
Hmm… I’ll re-summon with a zombie body instead of bones.
“What’s the problem?”
“Katakata“
“Hmm … Is it a drawback of the bone body? Light weapons are for bones, heavy ones are for zombies …”
Let’s switch from zombie to the skeleton wolf and try it.
“How about that?”
“Kata-kata“
“No problem?”
“Kakun“
“Hmm … Is it because it has four legs? Same bones, but a different body type…”
I’ll change the template a little and save it.
I guess the bronze one-handed hammer and zelkova round shield are no longer useful. I’ll ask Ertz’san to take them back.
“Is Cobalt HSS lighter than Haltium? I wonder if I can balance it around that. I’ll have to try alloys… Then I’ll get back to work.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“Sure, thanks a lot!”
Ertz-san returned to the workshop.
“You can pay 670,000? As expected of the top players.”
“I’m also doing production, so I earn money there. The equipment is for summons. The price is so high because there are so many of them….”
“I’m curious about the summoning system….”
“Basically, it’s a training game. I’ve heard that it will change a little depending on how you have them behave, such as fighting style and what they are eating.”
“I’m a little jealous when I see people holding rabbits and such.”
“The bones…are also cute when you look at them …”
“I don’t think I have that hobby …”
“Isn’t it cute? The mini-skeleton.”
“Oh, this might be a little cute…”
Well, the mini-skeleton is a worker, so it’s special.
After this, I passed the time talking with Lapis-san for a while.
I mainly taught her how to use the BBS. It’s convenient for collecting information. However, I also told her to take it with a grain of salt.
“Then, I’m going to go run some errands now that it’s morning in-game.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
“Mm, bye.”
The sun had risen a little while ago, so I parted ways with Lapis-san and headed to the church, asking a nearby sister to call Sophie-san.
After a short wait, Sophie-san arrived, looking a little sleepy.
“Good morning. I have come to deliver the items you ordered.”
She seems to have woken up perfectly when I lined up the three water bottles. Her eyes changed from sleepy to sparkling.
Then I gave her the Moon-Netherlite.
“Oh…very good. The royal family is amazing…”
“Is that okay?”
“Hmm, perfect. I’ll keep my promise…”
