Chapter 4 – One by One, Step by Step(part 2)
After returning to home, I started to prepare a list of equipment that would be useful for entering the dungeon. I've made some weapons, armor and a few simple magic tool prototypes.
Apart from forging metal, Leo also often shares some of his knowledge and input on magic items and the magic tools, even though he admits that he is not very good at making them.
In the next month, it looks like I will be very busy making equipment and gathering materials.
In making magic items and the magic tools, several components must be prepared in advance, starting from metal, magic iron, which is iron that is specially processed and is a good catalyst for flowing mana, magic crystal. And then [Rune] which is an array of letter formations used for creating desired magical phenomena, such as coding in computer programs. Some also require element crystals.
Magic iron and the like which are suitable for use as a catalyst for flowing mana, apart from requiring a special process, I heard some materials from beasts can be used as a mixture to give a certain effect.
For the manufacture of magic items and the magic tools, in addition to processing magic iron, making runes and processing element crystals requires quite complicated skills, plus the most important thing is the idea and concept of the tool.
And because of the things above, plus having to look for other materials from beasts, then element crystals which are also quite expensive. Not to mention, not all cities have craftsmen who can do and must be brought from other areas, all of which makes the market price very expensive.
How can a person who has only studied for two months reach the stage of making prototypes? My hobby this time again plays a big role.
When compiling runes, indeed ideas and concepts become very important. Runes were composed of ancient writings that were compiled, and this was what made them a formula for creating the phenomenon of converting mana into magic.
I have a hobby of studying foreign languages and it really helped me when learning rune making, plus the mental note function on appraisal glasses really helped me when compiling runes.
And the problem of concept, I come from a more advanced civilization and technology plus references from novels, films and others, of course I am more advanced than some magic item and magic tool craftsmen.
Even though it took a little more effort and a little bit of my rest time to make these things, I think it would really help the quest this time. And for a hobby, of course, it's worth doing.
Without even realizing that two weeks had passed by meeting at the adventurer's guild, I had already made some of the items on the list. In search of inspiration for new ideas and to buy supplies, I decided to head to Rockaxe, this time only Yugo was assigned to accompany me.
“Hyuga, we'll be in town in a bit. "
Yugo called out to me who was lost in my own thoughts. When we were in Rockaxe, of course the adventurer's guild became one of the places we had to visit.
Arriving at the guild, I saw that the support squad recruitment quest was still installed there and several adventurers who saw me coming came straight to me.
As usual, most of them asked me to take a look and do a maintenance on their equipment. In this city the number of adventurers is quite large, considering that great forest is not far from here, therefore the craftsmen in this city are quite overwhelmed with this number of requests.
I also gave a cheap rate, considering that all I did was simple maintenance. Instead, I asked them to share the information they heard or asking some stuff.
And because of that, most of them were rookies whose ranks were still below the D rank. Rag and his party also came up to me and said, they'll be joining in two weeks as a support squad.
I offered them to come to the village to train together. Since we'd be on the same team, I wanted to know their abilities, and they agreed.
I also talked with some of the mages in the guild, asked some questions about magic, after that I visited a few shops that sell magic items and talked to the shopkeeper. I got some clues that could help with my experiment.
After finishing buying a few things, the final destination was the merchant's guild, to buy things I couldn't find in the shop and also browse the list of magic tools sold there.
The merchant guild besides taking care of the members, merchants, shops and trades in this city. They also handled transactions for the craftsmen's items that had not yet opened their own shops and other specialty items.
" Wow! The things on this list are very expensive. "
Yugo who looked at the catalog of magic tools sold here was surprised to see the value listed there. I was actually as surprised as he was, luckily Yugo reacted first and I was able to pretend to be calm seeing the listed price.
I asked a few things about magic items and magic tools to the officer who served us, he kindly explained to me.
When I was done, I handed him the list of things I needed and continued the transaction.
"The order that Mr. Hyuga needs will be provided immediately. But before it's about the order for the guild, have you brought it? ". I handed several boxes of knives to the merchant guild officer.
"Alright, a total of 10 kitchen knives made by Mr. Hyuga. The total payment is 1 gold 50 silver. For the items you ordered a total of 90 silver, we will hand over your share of 60 silver. "
“ Wow... Just a knife, can it be that expensive? "
“Some of the cooks in this town and the surrounding towns are quite fond of Mr Hyuga's knife. The number of fans who increase the market price. "
“You make such good knives, why not focus more on making weapons? ", Yugo whispered to me.
“I'm more focused on doing something I like. I make weapons when I'm in the mood making them. After all Leo is more famous for making weapons than I am. "
"Oh, Mr Leo?! We are happy to market his work, some orders from other cities had wanted it. Unfortunately master Leo refuses to make weapons exclusively. "
“Hahaha… He only makes weapons to help soldiers, knight, adventurers and some of his acquaintances that really close to him. Everyone is equal before him. "
"It's like the Mr Leo we know. Alright, we'll wait for the next transaction. And Mr. Hyuga, if you have succeeded, we will gladly assess and maybe buy it...", he said as he stood up and then bowed his body
“I can't promise much. Even now, I'm still not satisfied with the existing prototype. "
We left the merchant guild and bought some food at one of the food vendors, then continued our journey back to the village.
“Hyuga, what does that person mean? "
"I'm working on something, I hope I can finish it before we leave. "
For a week, I focused myself on learning and completing magic items and the magic tools, at least to the point where they could be used properly. Even though it's still very simple, during the process, my understanding of how magic and mana in this world works has grown.
I managed to make a magic lamp which is the easiest magic tool to make. I also made several types according to the shape of my old world.
" Okay! I'm starting to understand it more..."
" Oi, Hyuga! You have a guest! "
When I managed to create a new magic item, a guest came looking for me. They were Rag and his party members. Apart from them, I saw three other people with them.
Three young boys and one of them looks younger than the other two members. They were a rookie party that Rag knew, who would also be joining the support squad.
" Big bro Hyuga, we're coming! ", Rag said in a loud voice when he saw me coming out from behind the door.
"You brought what I asked for? Come with me, let's go to the training ground. "
They handed me some rolls of paper, while walking I saw the contents of the paper that was given to me.

' Indeed the scroll status is less reliable when it comes to physical abilities. But actually they are... the skills they possess are not suitable for some people. '
I looked at Dom, he noticed then looked away with blushing face.
' Their abilities weren't that far off compared to John, who had recently finished training. At least, in these few months, they have grown. Even though we're in the back row, I don't really want to see anyone I know get hurt...'
I had informed Ricardo of our arrival a few days earlier. When we arrived, I asked them to do some physical tests and sparring, because of their odd number, I asked John to join them.
John and Walter arrived two days ago, while Walter was preparing to go to the dungeon, John said he wanted to join the training.
“”” Ha… Haaa….. “””, They were all exhausted after following the training menu Silvet had given them.
“Looks like you made the right decision to summon them here…”, Silvet glanced at me.
“The guild officer gave them permission to participate in the quest this time. With the location and the lack of info, are they short on people? "
"I don't think it's because of that. “, Ricardo came up to us and tapped my shoulder. “Looks like the old man deliberately gave us an extra task. And I also, think he knows that you know them so they are allowed to participate in the quest. "
“Ugh! ", Suddenly I can imagine that old guild master's face smiling.
" Okay! I advise the seven of you to stay in this village and attend training for the next 4 days. Tomorrow the training schedule will be given to you, if anyone has any objections, please tell me. "
One of them a youngest of one, the sword wielder boy named Jin looked like he wanted to give up. But the stout male, Jil talks a few things and managed to persuade him.
After that we separated, the vigilante corps members showed them a place to rest.
"I leave the morning to afternoon training menu to you, I will come in the afternoon. Arg! That old man added my job!! Even though I still have a lot to do…”
