“I'm useless, but if there's anything left, bring it. ”

Marcus explains the magic magic tools in detail and ponders. If you don't have Mana, you need a stable stone to use the Magic Cube. However, pure horseshoes are rare and expensive.

Although the supply of Regeneration Stones was universalized, the purity and content of Mana were more than doubled compared to purity. Therefore, renewable stalls were used for mass-produced, factory-type machinery, and pure stalls were used for expensive, personal crafting equipment.

“You fool! You don't know how much it costs if it's not regeneration and pure stallion! No trauma!”

“So if there's anything left, bring it. I'll live.”

“Haha!”

“Are you sure? It's not funny if you keep doing that. ”

“Huh! So scary! ”

“Ha... I don't care if it's just right. ”

“Is it true?"

Markus carefully looks suspiciously and carefully brings a Luxury Box from the corner of the store.

Inside the box was a round blue stone, the size of which was a fist, and a smaller but luminous stone. Isaac's left eye clearly saw a clear, bright blue light, rather than a slightly dark, dull blue light of regenerated mana stone.

“The biggest one is purity 3.9. The rest is pure. Even if you go elsewhere, you won't find anything more pure than this right now. ”

“What is purity? ”

In Isaac's question, Marcus asked, "How am I supposed to talk to someone who doesn't have this foundation? I said with a meetingful face.

“Purity means the total amount of Mana that the stable stone has. The stable stone continues to accept external mana, but when it crosses the threshold of the stable stone itself, blue light is emitted. This blue light is caused by the expiration of Mana again held by the Horseman who crossed the threshold. By the way, this stable stone is the same as the stones on the road until it reaches the threshold. That's why it's so damn hard to find and so rare that it's so expensive to trade. ”

“What about regeneration? ”

“Regenerative Stones are just a byproduct of research to find more purity. An artificial Mana Stone made of pure powder that consumes Mana. It's a mixture of ingredients that accepts Mana relatively well, not a stable stone. ”

“So the higher the purity, the better? ”

When Isaac asks, Marcus sighs as if he's pathetic.

“Similarly, this purity may mean stability, but the lower the purity, the greater the total amount of Mana ejected by the stone to the outside. ”

“3.9 is not a good thing. ”

Marcus shouts, "Are you offended by Isaac's grumbling?"

“What are you talking about! The purity of a pure stallion, usually traded, is between 3 and 5! There's only one magpie with the highest purity in existence, an 8.5! ”

“Oh! Is that a good thing? ”

“Of course!”

Markus gives a puzzling, arrogant look at Isaac's impressed young face.

“But what talent do you possess in such a thing? ”

“Hehe. A year ago, a hillbilly brought it to me to sell horseshoes, and I traded it for resurfacing... Hehe! ”

Markus, who was about to make a proud rap, kept his mouth shut with a contemplative look on his face, but Isaac, who had already heard it, smiled in contrition.

“So... it's a fence? ”

“…… rotten brat. ”

“Hmm… indeed. The stable stone is a similar concept to a battery. ”

After failing to learn magic, Isaac has never cared much about how magic works. Since all the laws of physics come into a world that is solved with a single word of magic, digging deep is only tiring.

But we can't just play around until we find traces of the old world. After exploring the magic stones and the book "Fundamental Magic Progression Theory," which had stolen the goods from Bilmiro Marcus for half the price, you can see that drawing magic bars on parchments was nothing more than a thorough shovel. It is true to read the manual before anything begins.

‘How can we make magic safer, more powerful and faster than others?' The history of the sorcerers that began with the proposition hung entirely on the mystic knights, and their accomplishments came as a magician and a tool that applied them.

A tool. It is a technology and academic discipline that culminates in Mado Engineering and has taken the world's civilization to the next level on behalf of science. The development of an activating sorcerer that enabled ordinary people to use magic tools easily, even if they were unable to use them for an elderly person who was physically uncomfortable, was a groundbreaking invention that allowed everyone to enjoy the benefits of the magic tools that only a few privileged people had.

Created for the convenience of the sick elderly, the First Trigger Wizard repeatedly improved and developed under the leadership of merchants and towers who recognized its endless usefulness, and the magical knights with copyright and patent rights attributed all rights to the empire in good faith to those who did not use Mana, even though they could earn big money.

As a result of the great loss of the payment of royalties, the Wizards of the Trigger continued to improve at a faster rate, actively researching the fields of tools and magic, and as a result the way they were drawn was also changed. The basic concepts such as manganese, complex symbols, letters, etc. disappeared, and developed circuits using simple, summarizing, and formalized symbols.

The Trigger Wizard was simple. Place Mana Stone in place of the caster's Mana and draw a magic circle. Similar to a simple electronic circuit learned in high school skill time, it creates a path for Mana to travel, places mana stones that act as batteries, creates switches, and connects the magic team to trigger it through the Activation Wizard.

After completing basic magical initiatives such as the product manual, Isaac realized that the use of magicians was divided into a series of enchantments engraving magic jewels on scrolls and objects that create and tear magic jewels on paper or parchment.

“Success.”

Isaac mutters as he tears the paper, making the blue sparkling little arrow-shaped object that appeared in the air disappear. I succeeded too easily, but Isaac's face is frozen cold and he's staring at the Monami Ballpen.

“This is an unexpectedly larger treasure. ”

In fact, at first I gave up drawing magic bars on paper or parchment. Isaac is a peculiar feature of smoking a little Mana, but that's it. The Magic Cube inscribed on the scroll is not nearly as valuable as Mana's.

Magicians were life-related, so they needed accurate figures on how much Mana they had. That's why it was a formula for measuring the amount of Mana that he had, but when Isaac smoked cigarettes, he could barely trigger the triggering sorcerer.

So even if you create a Magic Cube in the scroll family, you can blow Mana and trigger it, but the Magic Cube will never dream of it. So I gave up the scrolling family and thought about looking at the enchantment family.

You can solve the complex, ballsy scroll magic in one queue with Monami. So as a test, I triggered the Magic Arrow, one of the basic magic that cannot be triggered by the magic of cigarettes.

The outcome is a success, so it can only get worse. The magic of the scroll family is less popular than the enchantment family because there are drawbacks, but it is difficult to create.

Basic magic is simple, but the more you try to use higher grade magic, the higher the production cost. It doesn't matter about basic magic, but the more powerful the magic you try to implement, the more expensive and hard to get materials you have to use. Once you make it, you have to pay attention to the storage and use it once, it's a one-time use.

That's why usually skilled people custom-make it with a number of insurance or spleens, but using a ballpoint pen ends a complex process in one queue. And that too, regardless of the Mana consumed in the enchantment, only a tiny bit of Mana will trigger the triggering enchantment.

Although the disadvantage was that it only lasted a day, it did not shake the market. I haven't tested it because of the rooftops, but if a Strategic Weapons-grade enchantment is possible and someone opposes the Empire... … the empire will be destroyed in no time. You can't go to war with an enemy using a tactical weapon-grade weapon.

“This won't stop Arc Royale. ”

A portable scroll. The entire empire will be in chaos if the empire blows up at the center of the empire. If you rebel in that gap, you will succeed.

“What the fuck is a Munchkin pen! ”

Honestly, the strategic armor-grade magic that was powerful enough to erase one Satan in one blow was only recorded, but the only thing that was certain was the possibility was that the person who made it or the person who knew the information would be responsible for retrieving this item.

It was hard to recognize the power of the district chiefs when they were making this kind of stuff. Or...... someone's already been captured and is cooperating.

She bites a cigarette in her mouth and spins around, holding a ballpoint pen in her hand, thinking that there will be forces unknown to her.

“Just pretend you don't know? Or are we going to give it to Central? ”

If you ignore it, those who seek the Pen will not erase Isaac from the Dragon Ship. I didn't feel the gaze of surveillance, but I couldn't help but notice the gaze of surveillance, so I can do it with caution, first and second.

I have nothing to say if I'm guessing that the problem with handing it over to Central isn't right away. Moreover, when I knew the existence of the lens, I almost caught it, dissected it, or tore out its eyes. Isaac is more valuable than an individual.

After thinking about it, it was a big mistake to borrow a book from Marcus about the occult. I don't have any business, but I muttered thinking I should visit a few more times and harass you.

“I don't care about the lens, it's about the ballpoint pen. There's no way to hide it... Ahh! ”

Isaac, who was whispering out a puff of smoke, suddenly got up in a frenzied state when the ball pen swirled from his hand melted like ice cream and was absorbed into his hand.

“What, what, what is this! ”

Surprisingly, I dropped a door cigarette on my mouth and touched my right hand, but the ballpoint pen disappeared everywhere and instead I saw a golden thread the size of a ballpoint pen from my wrist to the tip of my index finger through the contact lens of my left eye.

“Was it absorbed? ”

Isaac grips his right hand and stares at it as if it were a silly gesture. He grips a piece of paper on his desk and rubs it with his index finger, but Mana doesn't draw a picture.

“What? Why isn't it coming out? Ah!”

Just in case, when I pick up a cigarette that fell to the ground, I take a sip and rub my index finger and draw a picture of Mana.

“What is it, Magic Finger? ”

Isaac grips his wrist and stares at his fingers in a daze.

“... Are you glad it's not your middle finger? ”
