"According to the map, it's around here..."

I was walking down a beast path in the woods, relying on the map I got at Gunner Guild.

The place is a forest halfway between the second and fourth cities.

For the most part, the location is closer to the fourth city than the lake, where the great wolf of the trials is located, and ahead of the area boss.

I don't think there was a beast path in a place like this, but it's a game there.

I guess it's kind of impossible to discover without pulling some kind of quest or other trigger.

Anyway, I'm relying on the maps I got and the auto-recording maps.

I would have walked for plenty of an hour or finally discovered a cabin that would be my destination.

"I'm sorry. Shit! Is anyone there!

I scream at the cabin door.

But there is no sign that people will react.

I'll call you again just in case, knock on the door, but it's the same.

Is he away for a moment?

Visit us on a quest and the residents there are away...... it seems possible to operate here.

Keep waiting for the inhabitants to return here or let them go back out.

That's what I was thinking.

"Gghhhhh!!

I thought it belonged to the monster more than the back side of the cabin, and the screams echoed.

"Chip, now the scream is, Tiger Bear!!

It's just tough to relate solo, but I can't even say that.

I immediately summon Sirius into the woods on the back of the cabin.

Then there was Tiger Bear, as expected, and another person who seemed to have plugged into old age.

Tiger Bear intimidates the old man faraway, and the old man says this and has no movement.

However, if you are an old man, I guess you dare move (...) or (...) (...) instead of moving (...) (...).

Because of its misalignment, I feel a prestigious atmosphere that reminds me of warriors in the past.

I ordered Sirius to move to the opposite side of me to see what Tiger Bear and the old man looked like.

It was Tiger Bear, I should say, who set me up earlier.

The old man is blown away by a Tiger Bear assault, but lands without difficulty.

Perhaps that one flew behind itself to escape the impact.

I do this a lot, too.

You don't like how little damage was done to the old man, Tiger Bear gets ripped off with those two forefoot nails.

But the old man dug it without difficulty, then dived into Tiger Bear's pocket and blew the giant.

One gun was held in the old man's hand.

I tried it from the way it blew up and probably used a charge shot.

However, its power was extraordinary.

And you should have shot a charge shot, but the bullet fired from that gun looked like a giant fireball...

You don't need to keep your mouth shut any longer than you know what an old man is capable of.

Obviously the old man is more in character, and it would be only a matter of time before he defeats Tiger Bear, but that doesn't explain why he can't help.

I release restraint magic against Tiger Bear while hiding in the shade of a tree.

"Lightning Bind!"

Tiger Bear was blown away and restrained in that body with a flip.

Looks like my magic (INT) can hold Tiger Bear without difficulty after all.

After holding Tiger Bear captive, it was a complete one-sided game.

Sirius pops up to fit the restraint, launches an attack on Tiger Bear, and I unleash the magic of the pursuit, too.

And the shooting of the pursuit flew in from the old man as well.

That looks like a full burst.

However, the power was not comparable to the full burst I knew.

Besides, the bullet fired out of the old man's gun was still what we should have called a fireball, not a regular bullet or a demon gun bullet.

However, it disappeared at the same time as it landed on the Tiger Bear, and nothing burned.

In the end, Tiger Bear disappeared into a polygon before the lightning bind expired.

I checked the inventory, but I couldn't confirm the Tiger Bear drop.

It still seemed like an event combat treatment.

Thank you, young man.

The old man called me to confirm that.

"No, never mind. Besides, you didn't have to take a bayonet to win enough on your own, did you?

Yes, this is a fight that didn't need to be interrupted.

That's why I just broke in because it's what I'm looking at.

"Ho, ho, sure, even a single person can beat you, but it would have taken a little longer if it weren't for the assistant knife. In that sense, the helper knife was helpful."

"That's above all. I'm sorry if I was your grandfather."

"You don't have to worry about that. So what are you doing in such a secluded and despicable place? It doesn't mean I'm lost."

"Yeah, Amelia from the fourth city gave me a map showing the location around here. So, are you sure the owner of the cabin here is you?

"Come on. So, what's the errand from Amelia? I'd love to have a grandson."

"Unfortunately, we're not talking about that. My visit began when I heard that someone familiar with how to make a demon gun was introduced to me by Melissa, Gunner Guildmaster of the Second City."

"I see. An introduction from Melissa? Then you can also treat them in an evil way. You should come with me to Noun's cabin. I can take down Tiger Bear because of you, and I'll treat you to a bear pan."

I followed the old man as he walked into the cabin laughing cheerfully, and I walked into the cabin, too.

"Which, I'll make you a bear pan, so just wait a minute.... Speaking of which, you didn't hear his name?

"Oh, excuse me. I'm a Gentile twa. This wolf says Sirius."

"Hmm, signs I feel from that wolf. The wolf is Fenrill's toddler, isn't he? I'm following something amazing again."

"I was just lucky.... By the way, old man, what's your name?

"Non abandoned his secular body and his name.... but is that hard to call? Call me 'Ozizizi'. I'm going to make a bear pan, so sit there and wait."

That's all I told you, Ojiji disappeared into the back.

I couldn't help standing there poking around like this, so I decided to sit in a chair and wait as I was told.

While I was waiting, Dwan and Iris even texted me that what I was asking for was done, but about half an hour after I started waiting, Ojiji came back with a bear pan.

"Come on, you might want to hear from Non, but let's start with the tummy."

"Yeah, I'll take it then"

"Uhm, eat real good. Let's put it on the wolf."

Ojiji took the bear pan apart on a small plate and placed it in front of Sirius.

Sirius is happy to start eating bear pot.

Don't keep looking at Sirius, I'll eat a bear pan too.

……

…………

………………

After I finished eating the bear pan, Ojiji, who finished cleaning up after, sat face to face with me and started talking.

"First, let me ask you why your Lord wants a stronger demon gun. If you're a Gentile, you're looking for stronger power..."

"There's that, too, but is the primary reason it's a bigger mystery rolling in front of you? 'Cause if it's funny to just call it a gun that uses magic power, and you can tell me more about it, there's no reason not to jump, right?

"To satisfy intellectual curiosity?"

"Would that happen if I said it in the end? Shouldn't you?

Ojiji shows a slightly contemplative sleigh,

"That would be good. It's not just about strength."

Apparently, Ozzie liked my answer.

"Hmm, if it's normal, I don't just teach you about the structure of a demon gun, but it seems like it would be okay for you to tell the Lord what you've taken another step in. Alchemy seems to be more skilled than elementary."

"Thank you for that"

"Good. So what if I told you in the back room? Come here. Oh, that wolf would be helpful if you could send him back."

I followed that word and sent Sirius back, and I stepped into the back room after Ozizizi.

It was a room with a small area and a pile of paper like various materials.

There is a table and a chair in that room, and I sit in a chair because I was advised to sit there.

"Well, let's start with a basic farewell. You have to use the same monster Demon Stone when building a Demon Gun. You know that, right?

"Yes, and I also know that the quality of the Demon Stone will perform better together"

"Hmm, did you also notice the performance changes due to quality?... did you experiment and confirm it?

"Yeah, that's right. Experiments of this magnitude will allow you to be in an immediate environment."

"Fine, very good. Now let's move on to the next step. … remember this before that."

Ojiji gives me two skillbooks.

"What's this?

"In the" Demon Stone Appraisal "and" Demon Stone Enhancement "skillbooks. It's a skillbook that only Non should know how to make.... Oh, use the skillbook without worrying because you can if you want to mass produce it. And without those skills, we can't move on to the next step."

If that's the case, I'll have to use it.

Confirming that he remembered [Demon Stone Appraisal] and [Demon Stone Enhancement] using his skillbook, Ojiji starts talking about it.

"Now for the next step, let's start by appraising these demon stones with the Demon Stone Appraisal."

Handed over were 2-Star and 3-Star Wolf Demon Stones, then 2-Star Killermantis Demon Stones.

I honestly followed Ojiji's words here and tried to appraise these demon stones with a demon stone appraisal.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Wolf's Demon Stone 2-Star

Demon Stone removed from Wolf's body

Attribute: None Attribute

Magic Value: 4

―――――――――――――――――――――――

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Wolf's Demon Stone 3-Star

Demon Stone removed from Wolf's body

Attribute: None Attribute

Magic Value: 6

―――――――――――――――――――――――

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Killermantis Demon Stone 2-Star

Demon Stone Removed From Killermantis Body

Attribute: Wind Attribute

Magic Value: 24

―――――――――――――――――――――――

An item called 'Attribute' and 'Magic Value', which is not displayed in the ordinary appraisal, was added to that appraisal result.

By the way, this is the result of my normal appraisal of Wolf's Demon Stone.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Wolf's Demon Stone 2-Star

Demon Stone removed from Wolf's body

―――――――――――――――――――――――

"Attributes and Magic Values should be added to the normal appraisal results. These contents become important when creating a Magic Gun"

"Ojiji, what are the results of this appraisal?

"That's not true. I'll explain now." Attributes "is not the attribute that the Demon Stone possesses, as its name suggests. It is often the same attribute as the monster that is basically the source of the demonic stone." The Magic Value is a value that shows how powerful the Stone is. "

"What is the relationship between these and demon guns?

"First of all, the main premise is that another monster's Demon Stone cannot be used when making a Demon Gun, or the performance is degraded due to the different quality of the Demon Stone because of different Magic Values. If the magic value is very different, the creation itself will fail, and if it is slightly different, the quality of the finished product will be reduced. I'll give you the details later, so you should check it out."

"Okay. So what exactly is an attribute?

"Attributes are items that determine which magic is converted into when building a Magic Gun. Of course, trying to mix another attribute with each other when creating a Magic Gun rebels. Aye, creating a Magic Gun fails. Then, with demon guns, even if you use demon stones with attributes to create demon guns, the effect of the attributes is weak and only non-attributed bullets are fired."

"On the contrary, if the attributes are the same and two Demon Stones have a near-magic value, you say the creation of a Demon Gun will be successful?

"Don't be. However, if the intensity of the monster varies, the magic value basically varies greatly. Even if it was somewhat close, the creation would not succeed because it was inhibited by something called demonic stone compatibility."

"So there's no point in being able to appraise the magic value?

"It's the Demon Stone Enhancement that makes up for it. Try a 2-Star Wolf's Demon Stone with Demon Stone Enhancement and magic."

As they say, I will try to magic Wolf's demonic stone.

Then I felt Wolf's demon stone magic increase... the demon stone smashed to pieces.

"Too much magic.... No, it's too much magic, but it's bad for you. You can't use magic stones so quickly in a regular person."

I didn't expect high magic (INT) harm here.

"Let me give you the new Wolf Demon Stone. Now, slower, smaller amounts of magic."

Follow Ojiji's instructions and slowly pour a smaller amount of magic into the Demon Stone than earlier.

I tried magic for a few seconds or so, but this time it never cracked and scattered.

"Hmm... Perhaps the Demon Stone of that quality contains an amount of magic that is close to its limit... you should check the results with the Demon Stone Appraisal for now"

Because they said so, perform the Demon Stone Appraisal against the Demon Stone with magic.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Wolf's Demon Stone 2-Star

Demon Stone removed from Wolf's body

Attribute: None Attribute

Magic Value: 11

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Then, the magic value of the appraisal results had risen from 4 to 11.

The first Demon Stone was broken, but the Demon Stone I received later was also 2-Star, so the original Demon Stone value should have been about the same.

"Sounds like we've been able to confirm that the magic level is rising. Demon Stone Enhancement is a technique that controls the amount of magic contained in Demon Stone in this way. It is called Demon Stone Enhancement, but on the contrary, it is possible to lower the Magic Value by extracting the Magic from the Demon Stone."

Try to extract just a little magic from the 3-Star Wolf's Demon Stone.

This is the result of the subsequent appraisal.

―――――――――――――――――――――――

Wolf's Demon Stone 3-Star

Demon Stone removed from Wolf's body

Attribute: None Attribute

Magic Value: 3

―――――――――――――――――――――――

It was just a quick extraction but the magic level had dropped by 3 as well.

"Safe, looks like you succeeded in extracting the magic. You can study for yourself how much magic you can put into which demonic stones. Next, create a Magic Gun using another Monster's Magic Stones to match your Magic Values... this is actually quicker to show, wait a minute. I'll be ready soon."

Two demonic stones and a barrel of guns from the box that was in the corner of the room, then Ozij, who took out the grip, lined them up on the table.

"You should first try to appraise these demon stones. It's a different kind of monster's magic stone, but you can see that it has the same magic power level."

Perform the Demon Stone Appraisal as you are told.

Then it turns out that these two demon stones are the same magic value, even though they are the demon stones of a different monster: Graywolf and Wolf.

"If you create Magic Guns with the same attributes and the same Magic Stones, the creation of Magic Guns will be successful. Give it a try."

Follow the instructions to activate the alchemy and try Magic Gun Manufacturing.

Then the creation of the gun did not fail despite the different types of demon stones, and the demon gun was completed.

"The results are as you can see. We're trained to produce the same magic value, but if we can match it, we can create this passing gun."

That would overshadow the prerequisites so far.

But...

"Well, I know you're careful, but making a magic gun this way is very tricky on the laborious side, and clearly, it doesn't fit the bill. But this is where it matters."

Ojiji continued to say things once in a while.

"The demon guns created between demon stones that have raised the Demon Stone's Magic Level are made of material. The higher the Demon Stone's Magic Level, the more aggressive it is, it has that nature. Of course, when you combine the same monster demon stones with each other. Even then, it is still preferable for the magic power value to be close. If it's the same monster's demon stone, there's no problem with some errors."

Does that mean that if you raise your magic level with Demon Stone Enhancement, you can create a more powerful Demon Gun than ever before?

Practice the Demon Stone Enhancement, because you need to match it on a point by point basis, but that's good information.

And then we need to find out how much magic we can use to break the Demon Stone.

"Now, this is the end of the description of the Magic Gun… Any questions?

"No, I have no questions. All I want to do is try it in practice when I get home."

"Fine. Let's move on to the next (...) s (...) te (...) p (...)"

"Next step? Aren't we done with the artillery gun thing?

"Mm-hmm. I'm done talking about demon guns. So I thought I'd explain (...) to (...) at the end of the gun."

What was that before the demon gun...?

"What lies ahead of the demon gun. In other words, the end of the demon gun that improved the demon gun (...) Cheng (...) Shape (...) That's the technology to tell you," Magnum. "
