Absolute Necromancer - Chapter 160
Absolute Necromancer Chapter 160
“Huh…It’s really magic.”
“…There are some drawbacks in that the Maggi content is a bit lacking, and the iron itself is a bit soft…Even if it’s just like this, we can make high-quality equipment.”
After Jinhyeok’s exam was over.
Melton and Muyoung showed great interest in the magic iron created by Jinhyuk.
In fact, it was quite natural since they were two blacksmiths, both high-level craftsmen.
Magic iron.
A mineral created when demon energy resides in iron ore.
If you smelt this as if making steel, the resulting magic steel plays a very important role in making weapons.
It goes without saying that using good materials increases the likelihood of producing better products.
In particular, blacksmiths like Melton or Muyoung, who can completely melt the properties of materials into weapons, can melt the properties of magic into the armor and weapons they make.
This means that people who do not have magic stats will be able to use magic power to some extent.
‘It’s definitely worth liking like that.’
A weapon that is equivalent to creating a new stat.
As a blacksmith, this would be a weapon I would definitely want to make.
However, the downside was that magic iron was not a very common mineral.
But now, thanks to the existence of Jinhyeok, magic iron is no longer a mineral that is difficult to obtain.
“Is mass production possible?”
“Well, as long as it doesn’t come with demonic energy?”
“…Good.”
As long as the magic energy needed to make devil coins does not run out, it is now possible to produce as much magic iron as you want.
Melton smiled happily without realizing it.
“But then you don’t need any other iron?”
“…A different iron?”
But even for a moment.
Melton and Muyoung couldn’t help but tilt their heads at the same time when Kanghyuk said that it was a different Cheol.
Other than magic iron.
The two people, who had thought about it that far, looked at Jinhyeok with puzzled faces.
“…no way?”
“…I guess not?”
It seems like I would go crazy with happiness just by mass producing magic iron, but what if Jinhyuk can even mass produce other ‘irons’?
As if to prove their theory and hypothesis, Jinhyuk walked up to the table and picked up the remaining two iron ores used in the test.
and-
“Chajinhyeokryu Chapter 1, Coin Creation – Holy Coin.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Just like when the magic iron was made just moments ago, a pile of coins appeared on Jinhyeok’s hand.
The coins that appeared like that collided with the iron ore and were crushed.
Paaaa-
Iron ore emits a bright ray of light even though there is no light source in its place.
“…Is it Seongcheol?”
“…You’re crazy! It’s really crazy! Following the magic iron, there is holy iron! “I feel sorry for the lower class, but it’s really worth dying for!”
The holy iron was placed there.
Jinhyeok muttered while stroking his chin as Melton and Muyoung were captivated by the sight of Seongcheol overflowing with light, that is, divine power.
“Hmm, one thing is missing.”
“What is lacking?”
lack.
Melton, who was obsessed with Holy Iron, looked at Jinhyeok with a fascinated face.
And at Jinhyuk’s next words, the two couldn’t help but make dumbfounded faces.
“I still have dragon power and great power left, but I only have one iron ore, right? So that means you can only make one of the two…Then isn’t it a pity?”
“…It’s old, there’s a box of iron ore here, so use it! Just write it!”
thud!
With a heavy sound, Melton placed a box full of the highest quality iron ore in front of Jinhyeok.
The iron ore filled in the wooden box might have been heavy, but Melton didn’t mind.
I just hope that Jinhyuk uses the remaining energy to create a new iron as soon as possible, no, even a little sooner.
How Jinhyuk obtained those energies was not important to the two.
“…Thank you, then I won’t decline.”
Jinhyuk did not refuse the box full of iron ore that easily exceeded the millions of gold given to him.
In the first place, I had no intention of making all of these out of ‘iron’, which has a specific energy, so one wooden box was too much.
It was a shame for Melton and Muyoung, but Jinhyuk didn’t care much and turned the remaining energy into coins.
“Cha Jin Hyeok-ryu Chapter 1, Coin Creation – Dragon Coin, Giant Coin.”
-Krraaaa!
-Kwaaaaah!
Dragon power and might.
The coin containing two powers, unlike other energies, even dissolved its ferocity into the coin.
Coins buzzing.
They eventually focused on one piece of iron ore.
And naturally, I was born-
“I’m sure it’s molten iron and metal.”
“But unlike the previous ones, the purity problem is serious. “Isn’t this a bit problematic?”
These were rare iron ores called molten iron and geocheol.
Of course, through the eyes of an excellent blacksmith, Melton and Muyeong noticed that the quality of Yongcheol, Geocheol, and Geocheol was far inferior to that of the previous Demon Cheol and Seongcheol.
“Think of these two energies as being inferior to the previous one. “Someday, we will be able to make perfect molten iron and cast iron.”
“…Hmm, well, I’m looking forward to it.”
Unlike magical energy and divine power, dragon power and mighty power are energies that have the word ga (假) attached to them.
Naturally, the magic iron and holy iron injected with coins made of ‘real’ magic energy and divine power are of higher quality than the ‘fake’ dragon iron and geocheol (巨鐵). It was something that could not be helped.
However, Jinhyeok was confident that someday they would boast perfect quality like magic iron and holy iron, and Melton and others believed in it.
The biggest reason was that Jinhyuk had no reason to lie to himself.
“Then can you supply these?”
“It’s nothing difficult. “If I can use it to equip the guild members in Yeokcheon, I can take that much trouble.”
When Moo-yeong asked about the supply of iron ore infused with the energy of the Four Emperors, Jin-hyuk nodded, saying it wouldn’t be difficult.
Reverse heaven.
Guild members whose guild has the meaning of turning the sky upside down.
They were certainly people who had been filtered by the hands of Gold Rich, but compared to the Four Emperors who had ruled the tower for a long time and the guilds or climbers like Nine Stars who received their support, they were so inadequate.
Therefore, we hoped to reduce the gap to some extent through unique and precious minerals such as magic iron, holy iron, dragon iron, and geocheol.
“What are the characteristics of each mineral?”
It was a natural question since Jinhyeok only knew how to change ores into new ores and had no idea about the properties of those ores.
And at least there was no one here who would ignore the question of Jinhyeok, who would supply them with the rare mineral ore containing the energy of the Four Emperors.
“Magic iron and holy iron literally contain the violence of magic energy and the healing power of divine power. If you use it as a weapon material, it will be a great help when competing against opponents with magical energy or divine power. The same goes for making it into armor.”
“The case of Yongcheol (龍鐵) and Geocheol (巨鐵) is a bit different from magic iron (魔鐵) and Holy Steel (sacred metal). Molten iron absorbs mana very well. Looking at the conductivity, etc., it is safe to say that it is superior to any other mineral, mithril. On the contrary, geocheol is harder than any other mineral. So, if you use Geocheol as a base and mix other Yongcheol, Seongcheol, and Macheol, you can kill two birds with one stone.”
“In the end, all four have their own characteristics and have a greater effect when mixed.”
Jinhyeok, who learned a little about the world of blacksmiths that he did not yet know, expressed interest by stroking his chin.
A way to get the best of both worlds by mixing something together.
That was in line with the direction he was pursuing.
‘Could it be said to be a clue to Ilwon’s next step?’
Mix. Jinhyeok summarized his thoughts well, focusing on this.
‘I guess I’ll have to put this off until later. It’s not too late to think about it after you become a complete member.’
It’s a starting point for moving forward, but it’s still a long way off.
After concluding his thoughts, Jinhyeok nodded.
“I see. Well, I’ll make enough minerals before heading to Goblin Village, so use them wisely. “I trust you.”
In any case, when it comes to the level of blacksmithing, Muyoung and Melton would be much higher than him.
I didn’t try to think about it that deeply.
Even if it was left to just the two of them, it would bring results beyond what they expected.
“Just leave it to me.”
“Hmph, of course! I’ll make you the best equipment! Have you ever heard of Temppal?”
Jinhyeok, who was satisfied with the sight of the two people nodding their heads excitedly, got straight to the point.
“Now then, let’s talk about Baal’s recipe.”
Baal’s Recipe.
That was the story about the manual for making weapons that he would use for the rest of his life.
* * *
“What do you think is the most important thing in Baal’s recipe?”
“Isn’t this the nucleus of a doppelganger? “I suffered so much because of that.”
An essential item in Baal’s recipe.
Non-fungible items.
Melton and Muyoung nodded when Jinhyuk said that that was the core of the doppelganger.
“That’s correct. But the answer to this problem is plural.”
“plural? “Then what is one?”
It is as important as the doppelganger’s core, but it is easier to obtain than the doppelganger’s core.
That was the second answer.
“Hyungangseok. It is a mineral also called section steel. No, it’s not exactly a mineral. “That’s because it is a mineral that is created rather than mined from a mine.”
“Minerals are made…I guess I kind of know what it is. ‘alchemy’…Is that correct?”
“…That’s sharp. “That’s correct.”
Hydraulic stone and alchemy were the answer.
“If the core of a doppelgänger is software, then it can be said that the core of the doppelganger is the most important piece of hardware.”
“The only thing is that the difficulty of collecting it is easier than the doppelganger hack.”
“That’s right, it’s easier than never finding the doppelganger’s core, but it’s just as difficult. “As the name suggests, hengangite is a mineral that changes freely, so it is difficult to make it properly unless you have excellent alchemy skills.”
“Don’t worry though. The owner of this workshop has a lot of money, so he will help me out somehow. “Like the doppelganger core, it’s not something you can’t get even if you have money.”
However, the problem was that the difficulty of collecting it was quite high, but it was still an item that could be obtained as long as you had the money.
But Jinhyuk slightly shook his head and asked.
“Do you think that the higher the level of the alchemist who handles alchemy, the better the product? Or is everything the same once you pass a certain level?”
The question is whether there is a difference in the quality of sectional stone.
At that, Muyoung and Genno simultaneously shook their heads.
“The higher your alchemy level, the higher quality you can make.”
“The difference in speed and quality of change will be large. So, we planned to try as many times as possible to get a feel for the lowest and lowest grade angle steel, and finally, for full-scale production, use at least mid to high grade angle steel.”
The answer is that the quality of section steel varies depending on the level of the maker.
Since even Muyeong and Genno could not be sure that they would make a perfect item at once, several pieces of steel were needed.
Jinhyeok, who had heard that far, said as if there was no need to hear any more.
“I’ll just get the shaped steel. “The quality is, of course, top notch.”
“…very? “I know it’s not even for sale, so how can you do that?”
“You’re not bluffing, are you?”
Top quality sectional steel.
Even though it was not the core of a doppelganger, there was no change in the fact that it was also an item that could not be purchased with money.
So it was probably natural for Melton to ask whether he was bluffing.
However, Jinhyuk did not say anything and instead responded with a grin.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
After finishing speaking, Jinhyuk left the Gold Rich Workshop.
The place where Jinhyeok’s steps after leaving the workshop were headed –
“Where is Goldrich? “Ask me if I found the guy I told you to find last time.”
It was the headquarters of Gold Rich Company.
* * *
“…What kind of fucking idiot is this, coming to the company at all costs?”
“Sorry, I was in a hurry. “Is that why you found it?”
“I found it. When I looked for it, I found out that ‘that guy’ had borrowed a lot of money from our company. Several times, with various appearances and nicknames. Thanks to that, finding it wasn’t enough and it was easy to capture it.”
“Because you’re in debt?”
“okay.”
Trudging-
The basement of Gold Rich Company’s headquarters.
As I walked down there, I talked to Goldrich.
The being I asked Goldrich to find.
When I looked for it, I found out that I owed Goldrich a large amount of debt.
widely-
“Are we here?”
“Yes, we were tied up inside and negotiating.”
As I continued talking, I found myself in front of the basement door where ‘that guy’ was.
When I heard that they had tied me up inside and were negotiating, I nodded roughly and grabbed the doorknob.
Uddangtangtang!
“…What does this mean?”
“It looks like you are escaping from Sidon.”
“Aren’t you being too calm?”
“How many times do you think he tried to escape after I caught him? I was surprised once or twice. “It’s routine now.”
I turned the doorknob while calmly hearing the noise of ‘that guy’ trying to escape coming from inside.
“Ugh! Sorry! It’s not like I was trying to run away…. Oh, but who is the handsome oppa next to me?”
In that place, a woman was lying on the floor, tied to a chair, with her head turned to the side and an impressive amount of hair sticking out.
She was embarrassed and making excuses because she thought her escape attempt was caught, and her eyes sparkled when she looked at me.
At that sight, I had to sigh and feel my head pounding.
“….Is this guy really him?”
I don’t think this was the image of the guy I was looking for.
It was hard to believe that she, who had such a foolish appearance as well as a clueless one, was the one who created an uproar in the tower with the nickname of a genius alchemist.
but-
“This is the ‘Alchemy’ you were looking for.”
“That’s right! I am the greatest genius alchemist! ‘Alchemy’, it’s Christina Rothschild! i look forward to!”
Goldrich nods his head confidently, and the woman who is tied to the chair jumps up from her seat and introduces herself.
So, the fact that ‘Alchemy’, which I had been searching for so long, was a foolish thing that was right in front of my eyes did not change.
