Chapter 276 - Four Star (1/2)

”Meteor Glass?” Asked Evan.

”Yes, after the symbiosis ends, Golem comes out of anabiosis, and at that moment, you can get the very rare material Meteor Glass. But, it's not as simple as it may seem at first glance.”

Dorlus sighed and continued, ”First of all, these Golems are at the - Two-Pointed Star stage. That's why I told you that you're not strong enough yet. Given your current stage. But, that's not all. After the symbiosis ends, the Golem is covered in transparent, brown crystalline armor. In this state, which lasts for three days, his strength is equal to a mage on the stage - Two-Pointed Star with two flames. Such an opponent would be tough to deal with.”

”I see, I need to kill such a Golem to get Meteorite Glass, right?” Asked Evan.

”Yes, but this armor is not Meteorite Glass. It's just normal material from monsters. Meteorite Glass looks like a sphere, and that sphere is near the Monster Core of this Golem, okay?” Said Dorlus.

Evan nodded and immediately asked, ”Will one sphere be enough? I mean, how many flasks can a small sphere make?”

Dorlus was a little puzzled, ”What makes you think one sphere won't be enough? The Golem is at least ten meters tall. The diameter of this sphere, according to my data, is one meter. That would be more than enough for dozens of flasks. Moreover, if you want to make some money, you can kill a few more Golems. We'll buy all the Meteorite Glass you offer us from you.”

”I have a question.” Said Evan.

”I'm listening to you.”

”You say that Meteorite Glass, this is rank three material, but these Golems are in the - Two-Pointed Star stage, how is that possible?”

Evan didn't understand how that was possible. He thought it was some kind of mistake that a mage at the - Two-Pointed Star stage could get third-rank material on his own.

”That's a good question, unfortunately, I can't give you a detailed answer. I can tell you that these Golems are unique to such a phenomenon, but don't be deceived. As I said, you can only get Meteorite Glass within three days of the end of the symbiosis. Furthermore, even though Meteorite Glass is a third-rank material, most smiths do not consider it.” Said Dorlus.

”А? Why?” Evan was puzzled.

”Meteorite Glass is a very fragile material. You can't make armor or weapons out of it, but Meteorite Glass is suitable for making flasks or mirrors, for example. In general, you can't use this material to become stronger. It's more for doing experiments of some kind.” Dorlus explained.

Evan nodded. Now everything was falling into place.

”Evan, there's one problem I have to warn you about.” Said Dorlus.

”What do you mean?” Asked Evan.

”There's another reason I wasn't sure if you were strong enough to go after Meteorite Glass. As I'm sure you've guessed by now, the end of the Golems symbiosis in those caves will occur in exactly two weeks. By then, you should preferably already be there. Of course, you don't have to be in such a hurry, you'll have three whole days. But, there is someone else who is interested in Meteorite Glass.” Dorlus said quietly.
