You seem to understand. You understand quickly and are looking forward to the future. Well, if it's easy to do with alchemy, I can show you. Would you like to hear it?

That was the main point, wasn't it?

Please.

Well, it's famous for its magical stone generation. The beauty of alchemy is that you can actually do almost anything else.

Can you do most of this?

Is that a production job, okay?

'It's one thing and one thing only. For example, HP potions. It's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. But with alchemy, it's quicker to create and the quality is constant.

So, in other words, if you're looking for quality, you're looking for production skills, and if you're looking for mass production, you're looking for alchemy.

It's the difference between making a good drug and making a lot of money all at once, or selling a lot of ordinary drugs.

That's what it's all about. The other thing you can do is restore the durability of your weapons. That too has its advantages and disadvantages.

''For example, the pretty young lady over there has a stone sword, but with alchemy, she can use the stone from which the weapon was made to recover its durability value. But the blacksmith has to use his skills to strike the weapon. Naturally, it takes time, and it takes money for the business.

For a moment I thought it was alchemy all-around, but I was curious.

''Do you have the materials from which the weapons were made? I have a feeling that the rarer they are, the harder it is.

That's the problem with alchemy, isn't it?

I see. So weapons with a high rarity level are difficult to recover through alchemy, but the blacksmith can fix them with skills and re-hitting the weapon?

That's about it.

'Thank you. It was a great learning experience.

No need to thank me. If you want to know more about it and how to do it, you can use the town library.

What? Now, I've heard something important.

Do you have a library?

Of course. It's just that to read, you have to have reading skills. Well, if you're a studious person like me, I think this is an institution that can be put to good use. You can ask the facility staff about your reading skills and they will give you a skill scroll.

I don't know the word.

'Is it a skill scroll?'

It's a scroll that contains a skill. It's handy because you don't have to spend any points to get it.

Oh! Definitely useful! I mean, it's priceless. So, you get a free skill for going to the library... which I'll have to go to!

Well, I'd better get to the point, though. It's easy to do. First of all, choose the alchemy skill, then choose the magic stone generation.

Yes, sir.

I do as I'm told and two magicians appear. I didn't understand the meaning of this one.

The one on the right is the source material and the one on the left is the material to be used for smelting. If you want to use different materials, you should basically put the good one on the right. The normal magic stone is just two stones, so don't think too much about it.

I understand.

I place the rock on top of the magic circle.

It's all ready now. All you have to do is use the magic stone generator. Have a go.

'Yes! Demonstone generation!

When I activate the skill, the magic circle goes down to one and the stones disappear.

There's nothing there... what?

Looks like a failure.

Oh...did I hear Crowe say that? If it fails with this rare material, the damage will be huge.

The only thing you need to do is to be patient. The higher your skill level is, the less mistakes you'll make.

I understand. Thanks for all your help.

I didn't tell you anything of importance. And you can ask the Beast Demon Guild about the summoner's contract. And you should also belong to the Beast Demon Guild. All summoners and beast handlers are members of the guild.

Okay. I'll go now.

I thanked the alchemist's grandmother and left the alchemy guild.
