There is nothing impossible in advanced alchemy. -Universal skill to match the other world-

"What attribute is this?

That's what I asked...... Tania looked at my hand with a flashing face.

Then you grab my hand and start observing between your fingers, your palms, the back of your hand, etc.

"... what are you doing?

"It's a trick now, isn't it? Where did you hide the tools -...?

"No... magic though"

Apparently, he was looking for Tane because he thought it was a trick I did.

Of course, that was magic, not magic.

"That's impossible! Because there's no way you can use the magic of any number of attributes by yourself!

"... is that what it is?

"That's what it is!

I see......

Maybe I'm not what humans are made of today.

Does that mean that other people still have skewed attributes in their bodies?

Think about it. I see a merchant manipulating a carriage.

The man's body is biased towards earthly attributes.

"Is that merchant an earthly attribute?

"Hmm, you don't even know the attributes..."

"Wasn't that someone you knew?

"I just got a request for an escort, and you don't know what my client is like, do you? If you only know what you're asking for and what you're rewarded for, that's okay."

I see.

Even if you're going on a journey, it doesn't mean you know each other.

"That's what adventurers ask for, too."

"It's like that.... My client and adventurer don't know who they are because it's like they don't pry into each other."

"... isn't that scary? How can you trust someone who doesn't know anything?

The rule of keeping my client and adventurer from prying into each other... is gratifying to me.

"I'm from the world 500 years ago. And I'm young, 'cause I don't care what you say, you're just suspicious.

But... isn't it a little dangerous not knowing each other at all?

Especially in the case of requests such as escorts, the robbery and the contractor of the escort request conspire…. What a case I can think of.

If I'm the client, I don't want to ask someone I don't know for an escort...

"The guild guarantees the creditworthiness of the adventurer. There are rules that only people you can trust can order these kinds of escort requests."

"I see. So my client can make a request with confidence? … Will the Alliance confirm the client's credibility as well?

"My client doesn't seem to do much good research. As long as I give you the money you need, that feels ok. So you have to protect yourself."

Ooh...... Sounds pretty appropriate.

From the guild's point of view, it is the client who rewards me, so does it feel appropriate to check as long as I get the money?

Seems like a world of intellect.

"Is that why people's lives are light in labyrinth cities?

"Well, sometimes I hear stories about you getting caught and killed by some weird client. But for the most part, I think it's a pattern where demons or bandits kill you in the labyrinth."

"... Bandits?

I understand demons.

Even 500 years ago, he challenged the demons in search of materials and rewards, and those who were killed did not refuse to follow.

But... it was surprising that the bandits would be told as elements alongside it.

"I can't see the labyrinth from the outside, so I'm pretty much there. People want to kill people who come in and take their gear, their money..."

"I see... that's certainly dangerous..."

Apparently, the world today is more dangerous than I thought.

When you find someone in the labyrinth, be careful not to break your guard.

We followed behind the carriage as we talked about it.

◇

Then a few hours later.

Just around sundown, a merchant man asked Tania.

"Should we go camping?

"Right...... I think it would be nice to rest there because there is a place for the camp about a kilometer from here"

"... ok. So let's go camping."

Apparently, Turner even knows where the good camp is on the route.

It feels like a professional escort, you look kind of good.

Even with that in mind, the carriage proceeded slowly, reaching what Turner called the camp.

It's a beautiful place with open surroundings for the woods.

Sure, if you're wary of surprise raids by demons or something, this might be a good place.

"Well, I'll ask you later."

When the merchant stopped the carriage, he erected a tent that had been loaded in his luggage and began to sleep in it.

Turner, on the other hand, picks up trees, etc. falling on the surrounding ground and transports them to the right place.

"... do you even want a bonfire?

"Speaking of camp, it's a bonfire.... can you help me -? I want to collect firewood."

"Okay. What about firewood quality?

"If it burns properly, anything is fine. Local sourcing doesn't get proper firewood anyway."

... Whatever if it burns properly,?

So, suppose we make it look like it properly?

While I think about it, I put my hand on a tree that was nearby.

It's a tree that's too thin over a lot of moisture and not very suitable for firewood.

"Fire."

I unleashed a little more magic on such a tree than I had earlier.

A tree with a lot of moisture won't catch fire... but my purpose is not to light a tree.

(Mixed)

When I say that in my heart, the magic flame doesn't burn or disappear, it just sucks into the tree.

And after about a minute, I'm switching operations.

(change)

Then... the next moment, the tree disappeared from my sight.

Instead... brand new firewood appears where there was a tree just now.

That said, it's not the kind of firewood I cut and made that was originally here.

Compared to regular firewood, the bark is slightly thinner and the surface is less uneven.

The thickness is also a lot thicker than the wood that became the material.

I broke down the standing tree by alchemy and reconstituted it as firewood.

Disassembly and reconstitution.

It's one of the most basic procedures of alchemy.

"I got it."

That's what I said, I piled up the finished firewood by the fireworks.

Thin and small trees were used as ingredients, so the quantity is not that much...... enough to burn in the overnight camp, that would be enough.

Seeing that, Tania turned her eyes round.

"This firewood...... what is it?

"He told me to help, so I made it."

"I made it... I didn't make any sound of salary..."

"Alchemists don't crack firewood"

Salary... That sounds nostalgic.

Until I could make firewood out of "reconstitution," it was something I worked hard to crack firewood every winter came.

"I made it without breaking it...?

"Oh. Try to see if it burns properly"

Five hundred years ago and now, even the basic nature of man has changed.

Then it's not strange that even trees are different.

When processing, I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable….

"Okay -. Fire."

Tania used magic to light the firewood.

Then the firewood began to burn as expected.

No mullets, no smoke, good flame.

It's pretty tough trying to leave this kind of firewood to nature, but alchemy makes it easy to make uniform quality firewood.

"... that's good firewood. It's like buying a proper drying from a specialist firewood shop."

When she sees the firewood rising flames, Tania squeaks so.

Apparently, they were satisfied with the quality of the firewood.

Standing trees are not geared to firewood, but make up for their shortcomings by 'mixing' the magic of fire attributes beforehand.

This way of making firewood was learned from my master when I began to learn alchemy.

Even in today's world, this way seems to work.
