"Is there a place suitable for processing?... I want as much space as this tavern. It's a place where you don't have a problem burning flashy fire."

"Then the guild's training center looks good. I need the process to borrow it, so can we meet back in an hour?

"Oh. In the meantime, I'll get the tools."

That's why we broke up.

Bare hands are enough if you just change the shape of the material, but when you try to give it 'decent strength' so it can be used as a weapon, it takes a lot of tools.

We're talking about getting paid if things work out, and we'll keep it out of hand here.

We need to make sure we don't bend over as much as we've been attacked by dragons.

Then a little later.

We came to the guild's practice area.

The practice area will also conduct flame magic and other exercises, so they seem to be built with fire protection in mind.

"That's pretty wide...... is this, like, rented out?

"Of course it is. It's expensive to rent out, but don't worry, I'll have it"

I see. Well, if you're trying to rent out such a big place in The City of Beginnings, it'll cost you money and deserve it.

The land of "The City of Beginnings" seems to be so expensive.

With that in mind, I take the tools I use out of my special space bag.

It's a very common blacksmith tool, such as a golden floor, a hammer, and lots of firewood.

The commercial product was not likely to withstand my usage as it is, so it has been processed appropriately and hardened and heat-resistant.

"Well, let's get started"

"... please wait. Where did you get the material from now?

"Same as that, special space bag..."

That's what I'm referring to. I'm referring to the bag Mistalt has.

That's probably a special space bag, too.

"I know that...... why are you getting in so much!? Obviously, it's not the size of a gold floor or anything in it...?

"Special space bags can be less volumetric, right?

By making the interior space special, the bag compresses the volume and mass of what you put inside.

For this reason, it is natural that something bigger than what it looks like will come in.

Mine seems to perform better than the Mistalt ones, but the basic principle itself is that any special space bag remains the same.

"Sure, but...... how many times as many bags does that bag come in?

"Thirty times that. It will be one-thirtieth in volume and weight."

"Ko, national treasure class artifact!?

National treasure classes are exaggerated to the extent that they are made appropriately from commercially available materials.

No matter how few decent alchemists there are, it seems like a bag of this magnitude would normally be available.

That's how you got a word you've never heard of.

"What's an artifact?

"It is the name of goods that cannot be reproduced in modern times, made by the alchemists of the ancient civilization"

"... the alchemist of the original ancestors?

Could that be about the time I was born?

In my time, it also makes me wonder that only 500 years ago civilizations are called 'ancient civilizations' and so on... because of the decline of civilizations, there was definitely a great disconnect between civilizations today and those of that time.

"Yes. My ancestral alchemist, Myahase...... don't you know?

"I don't know."

The name Maiahaze is the same as the master.

But I've never heard my master called "The Alchemist of the Original Ancestors" or anything like that.

"It may be an incredible story… Until about 480 years ago, this world was so developed that it was lined up with buildings that could reach the sky."

I know that very well.

Anyway, I lived in those days.

"The developed civilization was supported by only one alchemist…" The Alchemist of the Original Ancestors Maiahaze "by only one"

Oh, this' Alchemist of the First Ancestors' is probably about the Master.

The pride that all the high-rise buildings that existed in the world at the time were made by the master has been heard by the master.

There may be some questions about just one person and how they built buildings all over the world...... but that's because the only thing the master made was "Baoyu," which is the core of architecture.

When activated with magic flowing, "Baoyu" gathers materials such as dirt and metal from its surroundings at will and creates buildings in an instant by reconfiguration.

Such 'Baoyu', the master produced in large quantities and was scattered around the world.

Something else the master made seems to have supported the civilization of the time... but the question is why that civilization declined.

"How did you end up in a world like this?

"It is now said that 480 years ago...... everything made by the 'Alchemist Maiahaze of the Original Ancestors' has disappeared. Instead, the labyrinth appeared.... He said that civilization at the time relied on Maiahaze's productions and he couldn't rebuild civilization on his own"

I see.

It's hard to believe but... when I heard that story, I had an explanation for all the things I was wondering.

If the master wanted to do it, he would certainly have done so much as wipe out everything he had made.

I'm also convinced that the lab was extinguished while I was asleep.

That laboratory was built so sturdy that it could withstand disasters, but it was the master who made the building part.

If everything the master made disappeared, it would be natural for that laboratory to disappear.

Perhaps it is also the area involved that I felt the magic of my master from the dragon that appeared in the labyrinth.

It doesn't seem a coincidence that the labyrinth appeared at the same time that what the master made disappeared.

Or was the old civilization supported by the master?

Maybe even in the world at the time, the master was the only one who could be called a single alchemist.

I didn't know much about the world outside the lab, so I can't look into it now.
