Chapter 314 Darkness Elemental (2/2)
”I see… And what was that?” Eisen inquired, before he and Xenia slowly made their way back to the Dungeon entrance.
”Ah, that's just Ragnar disappearing back into the 'Spirit Realm', which is what the version of the world when seen through spirit-sight is called. Until they're needed, that's where one's spirits are. They can't interact with the regular world like that, but they're still technically here and can see everything that's going on.” She explained, and Eisen nodded with a smile before asking her about the name 'Ragnar' that she chose for the Serpent, but Xenia shook her head immediately.
”Oh, no, a summoner doesn't give a name to a spirit. The Spirit already had a name, and it was 'Ragnar'. Well, that's what it is when spoken in english… In the Spirit language it has hundreds of variations, and the right variation is only used when you have the right intent in your mind. Every spirit has a unique name in the spirit language, after all.” Xenia told the old man, who just nodded his head curiously.
”And what exactly can you do with 'Ragnar' now?” Eisen asked her, and Xenia just scratched her cheek.
”Well, let me just check…” She answered before seemingly pulling up an information window. ”Ah, it seems like Ragnar is specialized in 'Constraint', so that's probably all it can do as well. It's going to hold enemies in place, basically. Pretty fitting for a snake like that, huh?” Xenia told Eisen, and the old man just replied with a laugh.
”I guess so, yeah. Well, either way, here's your staff. If you want me to help you look for more Spirits, let me know.” Eisen told her with a smile, before he remembered something that wasn't on his mind at all for a while now.
”Or rather… Can you help me with something if you're not too busy teaching the Goblins?” Eisen asked Xenia, and she quite furiously nodded her head.
”Of course! After making me a staff like this, I owe you one!” She exclaimed, and the old man replied with a laugh. ”That's good to know. I need four different magic metals… We should still have just enough of everything for it. If you have the time, can you infuse some gold with fire elemental mana, some silver with earth elemental mana, some iron with air elemental mana, and some bronze with water elemental mana? One pound each.” Eisen asked her with a grin on his face, although he felt rather stupid for forgetting about all of this up until now. After all, the box that he found inside of his soul storage was one of the few great mysteries of this world that Eisen had not a single clue about what it had to do with.
For now, the old man figured that he should at least use the leftover elemental mana to create the different metals to unlock the box.
”Oh, sure, I can do that… erm, which materials are which exactly?” Xenia asked with a wry smile, before Eisen just chuckled in response.
”There's a small sign in front of them that tells you which one it is. And besides, you have appraisal, don't you?” Eisen answered, before the High-Elf slowly nodded her head slightly embarrassedly before stepping out of the dungeon again to make her way to the material storage.
”Alright, now, let's continue… what else did I need to make?” Eisen muttered to himself as he stepped up to the area where his apprentices, as well as his Grandson and the Woodworker-Kobold, were currently working. They were all seemingly finishing up one item each as the last part of the Woodworking lessons, so the old man figured he had enough time for one more small item, and he already had a rather good idea what that item should be.
With a smile on his face, Eisen grabbed a piece of wood that he asked Komer to buy for him especially for this project. It was a special type of material called 'Fleeting Wood', coming from an Ent-type monster similar to that 'Brawling Tree' that Brody kept mumbling about every once in a while, just one that instead of trying to fight whoever comes into its 'Territory', it's a type of Ent that just runs away from anyone.
The material itself isn't necessarily an especially high-quality one, but it's something rather hard to get due to the Ent's behaviour, so the material is a little pricy. But even then, Eisen figured it was a good base to use for Evalia's mask that would help her hide from any players that might recognize her, as the 'Fleeting Wood' was a type that was often used to create equipment for assassins, thieves, spies, and so on. Basically, anyone that needed to be as inconspicuous as possible. And that was just perfect for Evalia outside of 'Performances'!
So, Eisen swiftly grabbed the piece of paper with the design for the mask on it, and then hurried up and carved it out of the wood. The mask itself wasn't really that much of a special shape, just that it was made to perfectly fit Evalia's face as well as possible. It had a little bit of an outline of her facial features, but for the most part, it was just a blank, flat mask. At least on the outside.
On the inside, Eisen had quite a bit of fun playing around with a few different things. First of all, he placed the smallest Mana Battery that he could manage to create while keeping a rather large level of mana-storage capabilities into the mask, and then continued creating an enchantment that was covering the whole inside of the mask, basically just doing one thing, placing a 'Hiding' effect on the person that was wearing it. On top of that, the old man treated the mask with the help of an 'Sneak Potion', which allowed someone to blend into the environment more easily.
And after Eisen did that, all was left was to paint this mask in bright, absolutely not inconspicuos colors, just like he and Evalia had planned.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
