Chapter 261
Chapter 261
That’s right.
The item I intended to put up for auction at the Grand Auction House was none other than an artifact crafted from the Evil God’s silver feathers.
Though I hadn’t made it yet, any item created from these feathers would undoubtedly be at least a Legendary-grade artifact.
If I put it up for auction, I could earn an enormous amount of gold, and selling just two or three of them would provide more than enough funds to purchase Heuk-an.
To accomplish this, I needed to refine these feathers.
But time was running short to make another trip to Mueldum.
Mueldum was far away.
Though the Dwarves of Mueldum had begun trading with the Empire, they hadn’t constructed a portal or opened their city to outsiders.
It would be nice to see the Dwarves after so long, but the auction was only three days away.
And it wasn’t just about submitting it within three days—I needed to create it as early as possible and deliver it.
Technically, the selection of auction items was already complete, and Yuris had said she would make room for my entry regardless.
The fortunate part of this situation was.
Creating weapons or armor would be awkward anyway.
The material I possessed.
The Evil God’s silver feathers weren’t the type of material that required a smithy to work with.
If the Red Beast God’s lion hide had been suitable material for crafting armor, these feathers seemed better suited for creating accessories.
Well, even accessories sometimes required a smithy.
But the artifact I was envisioning didn’t require a smithy to create.
Instead.
“Knight Commander.”
“What brings you here? I heard you’ve been sparring with other Knight Commanders lately. Have you come to request a match with me as well? Haha.”
“I was wondering if I could borrow the Alchemy Workshop again, like last time. Or perhaps there’s an artifact crafting workshop in Cheongwol…?”
“Of course there is. Cheongwol boasts not only exceptional alchemists but also master artifact crafters. From the way you’re asking, it seems you’ve obtained some fine materials again?”
“I obtained several feathers while hunting the Evil God.”
“Oh, truly? We mustn’t miss such an opportunity. If you allow me to participate in the crafting, I’ll gladly lend you a workshop.”
“It would be an honor.”
“The honor is mine! Just as before, processing materials from an Evil God provides tremendous inspiration to our mages!”
At the Blue Moon Knight Order’s headquarters.
I needed access to Cheongwol’s workshops.
To arrange this, I visited Raymond Mistborn, the Knight Commander of the Blue Moon Knight Order, and he readily agreed.
He even offered to assist.
While he was delighted at the prospect of gaining inspiration, having the Knight Commander help would significantly boost my crafting proficiency—a far more welcome outcome for me.
“This is it. My personal artifact crafting workshop. Of course, like the Alchemy Workshop, when I’m not using it, the master craftsman operates it.”
“Greetings. I am Jorn, the master craftsman. I’ve heard the rumors. Congratulations on your promotion, Marquis Mir.”
“Ah, thank you.”
“Yes, Jorn. I’ve come today to help Marquis Mir with his crafting.”
“Crafting, you say?”
“Haha, it’s better to see it directly than to explain. Marquis Mir, would you show us? Jorn’s skills are every bit as good as mine, so he’ll be of great help.”
Chief Artifact Craftsman, Jorn.
Anyone who achieved the rank of Chief in the Blue Moon had already proven their skill beyond question.
Since I stood to gain from his assistance, I unhesitatingly showed him the Evil God’s Silver Feather.
Then.
“This, this can’t be! The Evil God from the rumors!”
“That’s right. It’s a feather obtained from the Evil God that Marquis Mir defeated this time.”
“This is incredible! Owen was just bragging about how he’d processed Evil God materials before, and now I finally get this chance too! Thank you so much, Marquis Mir!”
The reaction was far greater than I’d anticipated.
Owen was the Chief Alchemist who had assisted me when I transmuted the Refined Green Stone Demon’s Energy into an elixir.
It seemed they had connections since they both belonged to the Blue Moon.
“I’m the one who should be grateful.”
Though there was a brief commotion, preparations were completed quickly.
It was thanks to Jorn having organized the Workshop so meticulously.
In that sense, the item I was about to create now was.
“I’m thinking of making jewelry.”
“Jewelry?”
“Yes. First, three pieces of jewelry to put up at the Grand Auction House. I’ll make a necklace, a ring, and a bracelet, one of each.”
Jewelry it was.
Since the size was small, I could make one item from each of the Evil God’s Silver Feathers, which seemed to offer the best value for effort.
“It’s all well and good, but it’s a shame you’re putting them up at the Grand Auction House. The thought of some noble who doesn’t even understand the value of this material winning the bid is rather disappointing.”
“I’ve found myself in need of immediate funds.”
“Hmm, then would you sell me one? The material as is. I’ll still price it higher than what you’d expect to get from selling the finished jewelry at the Grand Auction House.”
“I’d be delighted if you would.”
“Once the gold comes in, I’ll spend it all acquiring various materials. I don’t have the funds right now, but I’ll prepare the payment by the time the auction ends. I’ll pay according to the auction price.”
“Understood.”
Somehow, I’d managed to sell one without any effort at a premium price.
Jorn seemed disappointed beside me, but even as a Chief Craftsman, purchasing this with personal funds would be difficult.
Since I had no intention of giving it away for free either, I had no choice but to ignore his sentiment.
‘That leaves five remaining.’
Three would be put up at the Grand Auction House.
Two would be gifts for Yul-ha and Kang Ju-hyuk, who had provided significant assistance in defeating the Evil God.
That’s what I decided.
Of course, creating jewelry required not just the main material but various supplementary materials as well.
“Here they are.”
A rumbling sound.
“Ooh, all of these are radiating a power similar to the feather!”
“These are materials obtained from the Evil God’s remnants. Since their properties are similar, they should work well to enhance the characteristics of the main material.”
“Perfect. With these, we can maximize the power of the main material just as you said.”
I had naturally thought that far ahead.
Luke hadn’t only devoured the Evil God.
The remnants of Evil Gods I had defeated before bringing down the Evil God itself.
The materials I obtained from defeating those remnants were carefully stored in Luke’s subspace.
I had retrieved all of them.
Since these materials all came from monsters infused with the Evil God’s power, I believed they would work well when processing the Evil God’s materials.
Immediately after.
– Using the skill ‘Crafting’.
I immediately activated the Crafting skill.
But that wasn’t all.
– Using the skill ‘Enchantment’.
I used the Enchantment skill as well, beginning the creation of an ‘Artifact’ called an ornament.
* * *
Cheongwol was far more than just the headquarters of the Blue Moon Knight Order.
Within it gathered alchemists, artifact craftsmen, enchanters, and more.
The finest talents from numerous magic-related professions had assembled there.
While one might consider them entirely separate fields, they overlapped within the broader framework of magic, so they had maintained active exchanges with one another.
Then, one day.
“Ah, now that you mention it, I remember again.”
“Owen. Please, stop.”
“When Marquis Mir and I alchemized the mythic-grade material ‘Refined Green Stone Demon’s Energy.’ That moment was truly priceless.”
At some point, Owen, the master alchemist, had begun speaking about Mir and the Evil God’s materials.
At first, everyone had been interested.
But after he repeated the same story more than ten times, they all grew tired of it and left.
Jorn, the master artifact craftsman, was no exception.
This was partly because hearing Owen’s repetitive stories was irritating.
‘I’m envious, though.’
Jealousy had stirred within him.
Though their fields differed, to have worked with mythic-grade materials.
And Evil God materials at that—such an experience was indeed priceless, just as Owen claimed.
But now.
“These are the Evil God’s feathers…!”
Mir had come to him as well.
And then presented the Evil God’s materials.
Though not mythic-grade, there were six of them.
The Knight Commander had said he would purchase one, but five still remained.
Looking at them, Jorn thought.
‘Now I can stand against Owen’s boasting!’
At the next gathering.
If Owen brought up that story, he would confront him directly.
He had handled five Evil God materials himself.
Owen would surely retort, ‘But they’re not mythic-grade materials, are they?’
‘Well, what experience would I gain from just touching one material? I’ve processed five of them. After processing five, the sensation has completely settled into my hands. Hehe.’
That’s all I needed to counter with.
Thinking this way, I began assisting with the crafting with a satisfied expression.
‘Isn’t Marquis Mir said to be the hero who defeated the Evil God? How is someone like that so skilled at such delicate work?’
Not long after, he was utterly astonished.
It was because of Mir’s crafting skill.
He had heard from Owen that Mir’s alchemy skill was extraordinary, but even so, he had assumed that the Knight Commander and Owen were the ones primarily carrying on the alchemy work.
Now it seemed that wasn’t the case.
‘It’s incredible. It’s like watching a Dwarf.’
Rings, bracelets, necklaces.
Such accessories required even more delicacy in their creation than other equipment, given their small size.
Yet he was processing such items with remarkable precision.
And while doing so, he didn’t forget to engrave the runes needed to imbue magic.
The more I watched, the more exclamations escaped naturally.
Seeing that figure.
‘Even if I’m like this, I’m the chief artifact craftsman of Blue Moon. I can’t fall behind in skill.’
Jorn, who had recently been in a slump, began to demonstrate his full capabilities in earnest.
* * *
The crafting proceeded smoothly.
The appearance and characteristics of the items to be created had been perfectly designed beforehand.
All the materials were prepared.
And above all.
‘So a chief really is a chief.’
The chief artifact craftsman, Jorn’s skill was truly exceptional.
There was no need to speak of the Knight Commander’s skill.
With those two assisting beside me, the crafting could only proceed smoothly.
And there was one more thing.
“Luke.”
– Yes, Master.
To create high-performance results, I began taking out tools from the subspace.
[ Ancient Dwarf’s Carving Knife ]
( Non-Tradeable )
Type : Tool
Grade : Legendary
Requirement : Level 800 or higher, Crafting Lv 80 or higher
Description : A carving knife passed down through generations by an ancient Dwarf elder during the age of ancient civilization, when superior magical engineering flourished, used for engraving mana circuits.
With the carving knife, I engrave rune letters and carve out mana circuits.
True to its legendary-grade status with an 800-level requirement, even hard materials difficult to work with are carved smoothly.
But that’s not all.
[ Dwarf God’s Small Hammer ]
[ Starlight Dust Whetstone ]
[ Spirit’s Silver Needle ]
….
I crafted accessories using various Mythic and Legendary tools.
There were five items I needed to create in total.
Since I wanted to complete all of them today if possible.
Then.
[ Crafting has succeeded. ]
[ Judgment: Transcendent Success ]
Finally, the first accessory was complete.
The judgment was nothing short of a transcendent success.
Perhaps it was thanks to the Knight Commander and Jorn’s assistance that I achieved such an unexpected result.
At this rate, I could even hope for a Mythic-grade item.
Thinking thus.
“Let me check the details.”
“Ohhh!”
“Heh, how exciting.”
I examined the information of the first item.
