Chapter 198: This is the Street of Craftsmen
『Light Bag [Storage/Light] [Rare] [Lv. 05] 』
: A pouch that swallows light. A specific light can be stored and retrieved when needed. The storage limit is not very large, but if you collect dozens of small lights, you will be able to confuse the eyes of enemies once in a while.
*[Save Lesser Light]
*[Lesser Light Emit]
“… … hmm.”
Jihoo received this artifact.
Nothing special.
The [light] attribute is not very good and precious. However, it was strange that there was no attribute that fell just as [Light].
‘The luminescence is light, but why isn’t it strong against demons?’
Fire is strong.
In the case of fire, it can burn demonic energy. However, compared to Lee Min-ho’s [Demonic Punishment], it was an extremely weak light.
‘Is the punishment strong?’
If it was just that, I wouldn’t have worried too much.
Jihoo looked at the book for a long time.
Artifact type and description. There are also many types of by-products on the Internet, but the rarer and more precious there are many that can only be found in books.
‘These days, though, things like that are on the Internet.’
I want the [light] attribute.
The [light] of the glowstone was not pure light, but [luminescence]. Or, most of them were luminous and light reflection.
why is this different
‘Rather than looking for the original light, are you looking for a match that is strong in magic?’
Jihoo asked himself.
Magi’s virtuosity.
In fact, maybe that’s not [Light].
In the end, Jihoo had to meet Kwon Yerim, Ifrin, and Seprin together.
“It’s a property of light, so I’m studying the light family, but I’ve never seen pure light except for light emission or reflection from certain by-products.”
She said.
At those words, Ephrin nodded cutely. It seems that she nodded seriously, but she couldn’t help but be cute in the shape of a little wolf.
-Fire is also luminescent after all. Is it different from light? If it’s because of the combustion process, then [Chlorification] was built as a miracle… … .
To that, Seprin retorted.
-Chlorination is, after all, a luminescence produced by a heat-generating process. In order to subdue the demons that my father is talking about… … .
“… … ?”
Jihoo sometimes feels awkward when he sees Seprin.
Obviously, what I’m doing is like an adult, and Seprin like a child. Sometimes they use immature groups and play silly pranks.
However, when you look at this intellectual side, it’s different.
-I think it’s divine power. It’s weak against [Night Punishment], but it seems to have divine power added to it.
Maybe it’s because I was born a ‘dragon’ and a ‘witch’. Because the descendants of humans mixed with dragon blood, the creator of magic, were the existence of ‘witch’.
I still don’t know the power of Seprin.
Even on the 12th floor, there was a strong feeling that they were assisting by experimenting with this and that instead of raising their power. Or maybe I’m just being careful because I’m still growing and maturing.
“It could be. Even in our academia, light is everywhere, but pure light… … It is only a standard in the academic world, but it is called the [standard of the world line].”
Jihoo nodded.
know roughly
Everything in the universe is relative, but it was light that set the standard. Even time and space are determined by light.
It will be different if we go down to the microscopic world where quantum mechanics is applied, but that is not the important story right now.
“It’s divine power. Where can I get one like that?”
Jihoo kept his mouth shut at Kwon Yerim’s words.
‘I can make one if it doesn’t exist.’
it’s divine power
Is there really such a thing?
never seen or heard
‘If that’s the case, I made light.’
Jihoo thought that some experiments were necessary. Light or holy power or both are good. It’s true that I didn’t see it well, so I looked for it.
But there was no need to cling.
[Baekok].
There are no other options.
made of adamantium. A pure sword touched by Mr. Jiyeol, a level 15 sword by itself.
Jihoo didn’t have the confidence to touch it properly, so he thought about adding an attribute called [light]. However, if ‘light’ was such an ambiguous attribute, something else might be better.
‘Shall we purely raise the level of the reinforcements?’
Jihoo’s [Growth Type Endowment Stone] is unnecessary for an artifact like this. Since he was already level 15, he had little room to grow, and even if he managed to grow, he would have to eat a huge amount of mana stones to become 16.
However, turning 16 doesn’t mean anything special happens.
‘It might be better to just strengthen and add one or two special options.’
The problem is reinforcement.
I did not set the level of the artifact to apply to increase the range of the enhancement stone. Because of that, there are also things that make the difficulty level much higher.
below level 9.
level 10 or higher.
It would have been much easier if I had made it this way. Of course, level 10 and above would have been difficult as it was.
‘Because it’s free until Enhancement 6.’
Of course, this is a story when there are many reinforcement stones.
Starting with Enhancement 7, there is a risk that the artifact itself will be broken, so it is better to refrain from using it. Especially when it’s a weapon that’s hard to find again like [White Jade].
“Ha- It’s difficult. difficult.”
Jihoo looked out the window again.
A cool breeze blows and many people come and go. You can’t see it from here, but the defense line is quickly being built.
It was then.
-Wheeying!
An alarm sounded.
Ji-hoo went out armed as always, and Mr. Ji-yeol also hurriedly came out.
“mister?”
“huh.”
“… … madam?”
Next to Ji-yeol, who was wearing the Death Knight armor, was Shim Ji-hye, wearing unknown leather armor and a stylish bow.
She had retired a long time ago, but her eyes looked like she might be on the battlefield right now. He was strong then, and he is strong now.
“I have to add a hand too.”
“You know how good she is.”
“okay? I heard that your bow skills have improved quite a bit lately. Did you learn from going around with a guy called Hyungung?”
“ha ha ha… … .”
A cold sweat broke out in an instant.
I pretended not to know when my aunt asked me to come to study, but if I found out what I learned from Seon-ae Lee, I might be disappointed.
Or ask them to come learn in the future… … .
“Learn well. It shot pretty well.”
“That, is it? hahahaha. Still, the aunt is even better. I’ve seen it since I was little, but I haven’t seen anyone who can shoot as well as you.”
“Guy, you mean.”
“More than that?”
The geothermal man intervened.
Fissures in the demon realm began, and monsters were sticking their heads out of some of the cracks. Crack formation becomes faster and more extensive.
“Hoo- Shall we go? Jihooya, the most important thing on the battlefield for a person holding a bow is rapid fire. Accurate is a matter of course, so practice rapid fire. Understand?”
“all right!”
Jihoo looked up at the sky.
Gradually, the location of the rift is changing to the sky. Is there a change to the demon king summoning stone at the center of the defense line?
Jihoo doesn’t know very well.
kill them once
profit.
In the meantime, Shim Ji-hye’s protest was pulled. An arrow was shot. As if that was a signal, attacks began from all directions into the sky.
* * *
[Artisan’s Street] has become stronger.
Jihoo and Lee Heeyeon. Kim Mi-ji and Lee Min-ho. It means that the distance itself, excluding Lee Seon-ae and Jung Woo-yeon, has become stronger.
The increase in the number of people on the streets also played a role. Thanks to that, the number of hunters also increased, so it can be seen that the potential power is increasing.
Most importantly, the quality of the artifacts created on the streets has gotten ridiculously better.
All the people in the world who had some money and had done some hunter work flocked to it.
[Black Hunter].
Those wearing black hoods that do not reflect light. Africa’s famous mercenary band wearing a cape that looks like it’s made of snake scales.
The elite mercenaries, each one of S rank, looked up at the sky.
“Cracks appear in places like this?”
I didn’t feel threatened.
Any rift would be a more comfortable place than Africa’s den of hideous monsters. But it was strange that there were so many people where the rift appeared, and it was strange that not everyone was very nervous.
But soon the mystery was solved.
“… … Isn’t that the owner of the quest shop we stopped by earlier?”
“you’re right.”
“Beside him is the blacksmith boss. Next to you is the wife who was wearing an apron at the smithy?”
“… … It seems right.”
It is unknown.
They didn’t even participate directly. The monster created in the sky had a hole in the middle of its forehead or was cut in half without being able to properly get out of the crack.
Falling to the floor, I thought someone would get hurt, but with exquisite magic, the monster was moved somewhere.
They’re not the only ones who witnessed that.
[Red Scorpion].
The red hooded mercenary group, which mainly operates in the Sahara Desert, couldn’t keep their mouth shut while looking up at the sky.
He came all the way here to obtain a ridiculous artifact called [Skill Book].
[Royal Knights].
The knights with simple names were all wearing the same uniform, and each one was an elite enough to reach A rank, and it was a famous guild that guarded Europe with British nationality.
They also stopped by to purchase the [Wand of Healing] sold here, and the purpose of securing the [Skill Book] was also great.
And that’s not all.
USA, China, Europe. Even countries so small that you wouldn’t even know the name of the country came here directly.
It was because of the rumor that the [Skill Book] that made the auction house buzz was made here, and that you could get a [Skill Book] as a reward if you beat the [Quest].
They all had the same purpose.
What they saw was the same.
“Is that the surface-to-air missile we’ve only heard about?”
“Hunter.”
“… … I know. It’s called the Hyeongung.”
“… … .”
What they saw was the same.
Right above [Craftsman’s Street] there was a force field with blue waves, and a wave of bullets and arrows penetrating from the inside to the top. A storm of magic and aura blades.
From within goes up, but from above cannot come in.
What’s more terrifying than that.
“excuse me… … Aren’t you the owner of the bookstore we just left?”
“Is there a stir-fry boss over there?”
“What the hell are you doing here?”
More than half of the direct combatants were artisans. Besides, it’s not just adding power, it’s main power.
Even if you can’t do it, you can see A rank, and strong people can see S rank. There were also people who are commonly referred to as SS ranks at the site.
Those who are called the main force in a region, no, a country. Even in a large company, it is said that it is amazing to squeeze out a small elite of about 5 people.
There are plenty of them here.
If that’s the case, don’t speak.
If you’re lucky, it’s a famous street, so if a lot of people from all over the world gather, I think it can be.
“No, aren’t they all artisans?”
“Does this make sense? It’s not enough even if you devote your life to making artifacts. Does it make sense to have such power!”
Seeing that, someone was in despair.
“Isn’t it tempting?”
“Does that make sense? No matter how good the artifact is, it doesn’t make sense to have such power.”
“I don’t know, because he’s a craftsman who makes great artifacts, he must have been plastered with [Treasure] grade from head to toe.”
“… … If that’s possible, why are you here? I will live in a penthouse in Seoul right away.”
“why. I think it would be safer here?”
Also, someone has seen the truth.
What surprised them even more was that they were ordinary customers who casually shopped under it. As if this is not the first or second time, they peacefully walk the streets without knowing that it is dangerous.
[Artisan’s Street].
This was a strange place.
No, it was even scary.
