Chapter 66 - Making the Monster Enhancer (1/2)

Making the Monster Enhancer

I’ve finally finished the procedure of selling the ornaments and jewelries I’ve found in the ruins.

After a while, my name was called.

They game me a satchel that contains coins.

According to the officer in charge, I received quite a sum of money.

It seems that the Marquis has instructed them to do so.

Are they celebrating for the discovery of the Dragon Eye Sakazuki?

Well, I’ll gratefully accept their generosity.

Though I said that, I don’t even know the market price of those treasures I sold off.

In any case, my purse became warmer again.

To the extent that even the three days of lodging isn’t even a problem.

[I also have to check some information about that egg soon.]

Should I look through the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts” later if there’s any information written in there?

[Hati-dono.]

When we were about to separate in the ruins, Mist called out to me.

[I’ve only seen it from quite a distance, but it seems that there’s an immense uproar going on in there.]

[Holding still in your position was a great idea. It is Hati-dono who really needs to be praised.]

Mist let out a strained laugh.

I pointed towards my backpack that carries the silver bones.

[I entered the ruins not because I want your praise, but because I wanted something for this guy. There’s no need for me to face unnecessary troubles. Anyway, what’s your plans hereafter?]

[Tomorrow, I will be receiving some hospitality from the marquis along with the reward.]

Like I thought.

[I wish I could decline too. But if I weren’t to accept it, I don’t think I would be able to get my rewards.]

[Well, it looks like that marquis is someone fixated on formalities.]

Surprisingly, she was being recruited by the marquis to be included in his private soldiers.

[That’s why, I’m going to have to stay another night here in Mills.]

[Are you going to be staying in the inn?]

[I was told that they would prepare a room in the Marquis’ mansion, but I declined their offer.]

[Then, are you going to rent another room in the room?]

[Yes. Nevertheless, I would be expecting to get 300 gold coins tomorrow so I have no concern about accommodation costs for the meantime.]

[You’re going towards their house tomorrow, so are you going to have some free time?]

[That’s right, but it seems like I will be able to stay here for some time.]

Around this time, the people of the Marquis were surely investigating whether this Dragon Eye Sakazuki that Mist brought is real or not.

I wonder if they can even be appraised by people who haven’t seen the real thing.

I take out the pocket watch.

[How about we talk in my room at around 8:00 pm? I thought you would also want to take some rest now in the inn. I feel like their making the dinner separately for different people in here though.]

[I understand.]

Finished making an appointment with Mist, I promptly left the ruins.

I already have the tools I needed to turn the bone meal into an enhancer.

I bought it when I visited the shops with Mist before.

They would get some cracks if I were to bring them with me inside the ruins, so I left them in the custody of the officer in charge of me at the checking station before I entered the ruins.

The necessary tools needed for the preparation of the Enhancer were also described in the “Encyclopedia of the Forbidden Arts”.

The basics about using these tools seem to be similar to the other tools from back in my world that resemble them.

It seems that making an Enhancer is simpler than I had thought.

The first bottleneck that I faced with making these were just the acquisition of the monster materials.

However, I’ve just safely acquired the materials earlier.

There was only one thing left that I have forgotten to buy before.

I forgot to buy it because I put my thought more on the ruins raid rather than the Enhancer.

I went towards the main street in order to purchase some.

Finding the store that deals the desired item, I entered.

There was a lot of them stocked in the inventory.

It seems that there were no shortage of this type of goods.

There are several types of the item I needed.

Their prices seem to differ from one another depending on the details on the said item.

However… the store owner won’t allow me to confirm the contents at all.

After checking them out, I presented the selected item towards the storekeeper.

[Can I have this?]

I finished the transaction and left the store.

Well, I kept standing outside the premises of the store and leaned my back against the store’s outer wall.

Untying the knot of the item, I spread it out in front of me.

[Let’s see, Jonato Principality is here…]

I have just purchased a world map.

I wanted to get this before.

The Urza Kingdom where I am now is located in the southern part of the continent.

Looking through here, Mills seems to be the southernmost city in Urza.

Further south of Mills, there is a dark-colored forest and the Disposal Ruins.

Right in the center of the continent lies the Great Ruins, the Golden Demon Zone.

North of the continent lies the Magnal Kingdom.

[The Magnal in the north is the forefront force against the Great Demon Emperor, or so I heard…]

The Kingdom of Magnal was spreading out from east to west.

It’s a pretty long country based on this map.

Magnal occupies most of the top par of the continent.

That place that the fallen Great Fortress – Night Wall was situated in seems to be somewhere in between two mountains.

Sharp mountain-like symbols were extending out towards the east and west of the fort.

I see.

So, they’ve set up the fortress in this plain area huh…

Before this fortress have fallen, they must have been obstructing the intruders in this place.

The name of the Mira Empire is written in the southwestern part of the continent.
