"Healing Stone" collected by Lynn in the "Moss Healing Cave".
I'm worried about whether I'll make this myself or give Marcus a chance to make an alloy that he hasn't made yet. Recently, thanks to Ariel's help with the studio, Marcus has more time than ever before....
... you can't do it alone. The art of alchemy must be taught and disseminated even by people close to you.
Yes, I've been thinking about it lately. Especially since Marcus is a boy. Sometimes I wonder if having a shop independently would help him get married or something.
And if he opens his shop independently from our studio, more people will be able to buy good potions and additive accessories in the neighborhood.
Well, it's still a long way from here.
So I talked to Marcus at breakfast about trying to make alloys.
"Well, I disagree with the idea of using a 'healing stone'. It's a product that can be picked up with your colleagues and will be useful in the future, right? Then I think it would be better not to use it as my practice platform for the first time."
I was told, and I thought, yes.
Well, I kept it in the first place.
Hmm, so maybe we can start at the store where we found the "Stone of Fortune" or something. Marcus is not going on an adventure, so if we get some material, we can raise it in the store. It's good to have that experience!
Well, why don't you go to the store that sells gems and magic stones and start by looking for materials?
Then, Marcus's expression, which looked like he was in trouble, suddenly changed happily.
"Yes! Absolutely!
The shops located in Wang Dynasty are either enthusiastic about business or have a fast opening time. If you finish breakfast, get dressed to go out, and walk, the shop will already be open. Me and Marcus decided to take the leaf to the jewellery store they had visited before.
"Hello."
When I opened the door of the store and carried my foot inside, the owner's uncle stood on the other side of the glass case.
"Welcome! You're the girl who found the excavation before! Did you come with a different girl today?"
The owner of the store is as carefree as ever.
"Nice to meet you. I'm an alchemist with my daughter's employees, but I'm here to find a stone to practice alloy preparation."
And Marcus greeted me and told me why he was coming to the store.
"If it's for practice, it might be cheaper to use the one in the crate over there to find something to dig up! Lucky if we can find the excavation! Is that what it feels like? Any one of the wooden boxes is fine with five large copper coins. And what's inside this glass case is either valuable as a gem or something with a special effect as a magic stone!
Marcus will explain to me what I've done before.
Well, let's start by looking for an excavation.
So Marcus crouched over his arms' sleeves in front of the crate and began to look at the stones.
... yeah. Shall I see if there's anything good for me?
The excavation box was occupied by Marcus, so I decided to look for it in the glass case.
Hmm, it's certainly good, but there's nothing you want me to say about it... that?
Stone of health pride
Classification: Ore and Materials
Quality: intermediate to premium
DETAILS: Equipment increases the health of the Equipment by 500. Perhaps it would be better if it were a metal and alloy with good compatibility.
Feelings: Mukimki, power up!
... Mukimki is superfluous, but when he gets better, maybe Drake won't hit him with a single blow?
Ugh, but it's expensive just because it's in the case.
But you can't change it safely. You want me and Ariel and Lynn.
"Lady, there are two stones of interest...."
There, with two troubled faces, Marcus came to me with the stone and looked inside the glass case.
[Good Edge Stone]
Classification: Ore and Materials
Quality: Normal to Luxury
DETAILS: Stones that attract good luck. Lead to a better future if you have someone you want.
Feelings: connected ♪
"This... my mother seems to have a better chance of remarrying... and wants to give it to her. If it works, my brother and sister will also have a father, which will make it easier than it is now for me to serve and rely on my mother's job."
Stone of Talent
Classification: Ore and Materials
Quality: Normal
DETAILS: The talent your child is trying to develop is more likely to grow.
Feelings: I'll cheer you up!
"I want my brother and sister to have this... I'll pay for it from what I saved up, so can you go to practice twice?"
"Oh, what are you talking about? It's for the employees of my shop to study. It's an expense. I'll pay for it!
Fufu, I jump Marcus's offer with my chest full.
As he watched, Marcus lowered his head and laughed bitterly.
"Store manager. Can you show me the accessories ingots again, like the other day?
Yes, just a moment.
So I brought ingots from the back of the shop and lined them up on the glass case.
... Marcus doesn't see "feelings"... but maybe you should try it yourself.
"When it comes to alloying, the compatibility of the mixture affects the quality when it comes to alloying, but it doesn't matter which one looks good, so can you choose for yourself?
"I see, that's what it is. I'll try."
That said, Marcus repeated, one by one, bringing stones closer to the ingot and closer to the different ingot.
"... that. Only when I get close to silver does the stone sparkle a little."
Marcus was muttering with his neck tilted.
... I wonder if some people "feel" that way?
Comparing the stones Marcus had with the ingots, it was true that both the stones he chose were compatible with silver.
"Wow, Marcus!" Vision "is different, but you have an eye for compatibility! What a gift!
"Eh! It was somehow... You were right!
Marcus' face turned a little red, whether it was unexpected that the answer was correct, whether it was illuminated by praise after a moment of flickering.
Then, I asked the shopkeeper to take the "stone of health pride" out of the case and compare it to the ingot.
This is a mythrill.
So we paid for all the stones and ingots for Marcus and me, and we left the shop.
