1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 3 Episode 13

13. Elemental Ertel (1)

“Hmm, it’s completely cut clean.”

“Can’t you fix it?”

The workshop of Dantals in Ordo, the village at the edge of the earth.

There, Dantals was looking back and forth at what Hoya had handed him.

A sword with an impressive black and blue line like the night sky crossing the red blade and pure white sword was cut in two, the lower part was in Dantals’ hands and the upper part was placed on the table in front of Dantals.

Dan Thals, who had touched the cross section of the sword with his finger, opened his mouth.

“I think we can fix it.”

“really?”

“Don’t like it yet. It can be fixed, but the same stats won’t come out. He’s a bit tricky.”

Dan Thals said so, and what he tapped with his finger was Moanthaltium, a mysterious ore of light that crossed the center of the sword.

“Once the effect and form are established, this guy is completely scrapped when broken. The part made from the bones of the Gigant Red Bear will return to its original state when I repair it, but it’s not him.”

Hoya swallowed his disappointment at Dantals’ words.

I thought about using it up to level 300 a while ago, but not long after that, it became unusable.

At that time, without blocking Adora’s attack, he should have escaped by generating the effect of his fortitude.

It’s too late if I come to regret it now, though.

“So, how about making a new one right now? Do you have any good ingredients?”

Hoya tried to erase all the regrets about the partner who had already left at Dantals’ words and took out all the materials in the inventory.

Hoya was cleaning up one inventory at a time after the inventory was full.

So, Hoya’s inventory contained quite a few miscellaneous materials.

Dantals looked around the materials Hoya had brought out.

His expression looking at the subject seemed dissatisfied.

“Um, it’s not that bad.”

Hoya now knows the standards of Dantals to some extent.

When Thals said he was doing it, he meant that he didn’t live up to his standards.

That said, it is a material that cannot be used to make a weapon that surpasses the Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword.

“But these won’t come out with a weapon comparable to or superior to this broken guy.”

“Ummm…”

It was also Hoya’s idea.

Then Dantals came up with a solution.

“Take this opportunity to find the materials to make the perfect weapon for you.”

“Isn’t this really not right for me?”

“No, I don’t mean that. For example, the bleeding effect on this weapon. You have mana, right?”

“…that’s what I heard.”The ‘materials to make the perfect weapon’ that Dantals referred to meant that Hoya’s ‘materials that can maximize the abilities they currently have or give them the necessary abilities’.

A material from which you can expect special effects that are perfect for you, not like the bleeding effect of the Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword.

It was to get something like that.

“It’s the right material for me…”

“Think about it slowly. I’ll use it temporarily, and I’ll fix this.”

Having said that, Dantals took the Gigant Red Bare Bone Sword, which was cut in two, and disassembled the grip, guard and blade separately.

Hoya looked at Dantals who was doing the bellows, then leaned back on the chair and looked up at the ceiling and fell into thought.

‘The material that is right for me…….’

What materials can maximize the abilities you have now?

Hoya first looked back at his abilities.

Once Affinity is excluded, his stats are on average around 710 with the four basic stats, and his divine power is 541.

The Holy Power is definitely low compared to other stats, but the Holy Power itself is not very effective unless you are dealing with undead or dark monsters unless you are a paladin or a priest.

Therefore, even if a player who is not a priest or a paladin gains divine power, it does not use many points.

However, Hoya is directly related to the rise of the overall stats as it is higher because, as the divine power increases by 4 due to the effect of the title ‘Heir of Light’, strength, agility, stamina, and magic power increase by 1 each.

Hoya also possessed divine magic, so he was not a stat that could be ignored as a bonus.

Affinity has not yet been identified in detail, so it will be passed on.

Next, the attribute ‘ice’.

The ice attribute itself is weak to the fire attribute and strong to the water attribute.

Just as it deals additional damage to undead and dark attribute monsters if you have divine power, additional damage will be inflicted against water attribute monsters that are normally strong against you.

And if you use the magic trick Moan taught you, the attribute itself will show its shape, and additional damage will be added little by little, except for monsters with fire attributes.

However, Moan’s magic spells also have a cooldown, so they can’t be used frequently except for bullets, so they don’t usually have much effect.

Suddenly, I thought that it would be nice if the effect would be transmitted like magic when just swinging a sword and feeding a monster a basic attack without using magic.

‘Hey, that’s a crazy idea.’

Still, it would be nice if the efficiency of the ice attribute could be increased when using magic itself.

“……uh?”

Hoya felt as if he had seen the thought he had just had somewhere.

Where have you been… where have you been…?

Hoya, who had been pondering over her memories, tried to get up from her seat at the sudden memory that came to mind, but then stopped.

Now Dantals was hammering hard.

He didn’t want to disturb him by making noises.

Hoya got up from her chair very carefully, left Dantals’ workshop, and headed for the training camp.

Contrary to the appearance of a home, the inside is a large training ground like a playground.

Hoya entered there, approached the weapons neatly hung on one wall, and immediately touched a blue sword.

[Blue Ertel’s Long Sword]

Class: Unique

Attack Damage: 3,800

Durability: 750/750

*Skill casting time is greatly reduced.

*When hitting the opponent, there is a 30% chance to absorb a certain amount of the enemy’s MP.

A sword made by the legendary blacksmith Dantals using blue Ertel, which is mainly used for his staff.

All of the blades are made of blue ertel, which greatly increases the efficiency when using skills and magic, and the appearance is as beautiful as any jewelery accessory.

Since he sneezed during production and impurities were mixed in, he did not get the performance he wanted, so he hung this sword as a decoration on the wall of the village training ground.

Wear Restrictions: Level 580, Magical 900+ Warrior

The special effects and descriptions of the items were different from Hoya’s wishes.

But he had an idea.

Hoya paid attention to one of the sentences in the item description, ‘It greatly increases the efficiency when using skills and magic’.

If done well, it may be able to increase the efficiency of the skill itself as well as the ice attribute.

Isn’t it written that the desired performance was not achieved due to impurities in the description?

Hoya thought he was capable enough of his thoughts.

And Hoya’s idea was feasible.

“If you refine Ertel itself, you can increase the effectiveness of skills or magic, that is, increase the power, or shorten the cooldown time. She was slightly twisted during production, so the cooldown disappeared and only the casting time was lost.”

It was the most absurd mistake of his own life, Dan Thals said as he wiped the repaired sword with a cloth.

“It would be possible to increase the efficiency of the ice attribute by putting the ice attribute into Ertel. Instead, the size of the effect depends on what the subject of the attribute is.”

In other words, it is said that there is a clear difference between a novice wizard who has just become a wizard and puts the ice attribute into Ertel and Moan puts the ice attribute into it.

As much as the difference, wearing restrictions become more difficult, so if you are going to add ice properties, you will need to choose the target carefully.

“Oh. Or, hoya, you can put it yourself.”

“Is that okay?”

“Huh.”

Rather, Dantals said that putting it in by the person who will use it would have an effect that suits him.

“And now, if you want to make equipment that can be used at your level, Hoya, the Ertel should be just enough to hold with one hand. If it’s more than that, you won’t be able to wear it.

The amount to be saved was less than expected.

Hoya looked forward to asking Dantals how he had saved Ertel.

“I do not know.”

“Yes?”

Hoya was taken aback when he said that there was an object made with these materials, but he did not know the source of the material.

“Uh… Then how did you make this?”

“It was made by the village chief with the ingredients.”

Dantals answered Hoya and handed over the repaired Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword.

[Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword]

Class: Unique

Attack power: 970

Durability: 110/110*When hitting an opponent with a sword, there is a small chance of inflicting the status abnormality [Bleeding].

* Recovers a small amount of HP for the duration when the condition [Bleeding] occurs.

A sword made by the legendary blacksmith Dantals as a gift to welcome members of the new village.

The condition of the main material itself is not very good, but the finished version itself is excellent after being done by the legendary blacksmith.

Wear Restrictions: Warrior with 270 Strength and 290 HP or more

Many of the swords Dantals gave him had changed.

It felt like the bones had been broken because the damage had gone down by 500.

Hoya thanked Dantals and went to ask Moan where to get Ertel.

“I do not know.”

why not?

From Moan’s mouth came the same answer as Dantals.

When Hoya was puzzled by it, Moan continued.

“Do you know how Ertel is made?”

“no.”

“Ertel is an ore that is created by naturally gathering magical energy in one place for a long time. In other words, once you get it, it is no longer in that place, that’s it.”

It is said that the Ertel, which Moan gave to Dantals, was also created here because of the magical power that naturally flowed while he lived there for nearly 200 years.

“Ah… Then I can’t find it now…”

“If you look for it everywhere, you might be able to find it, right?”

As Hoya’s eyes lit up at Moan’s words, she smiled mischievously.

“I’ll give you a hint. Find a ‘place with a lot of magic’. Hopefully it’ll be there.”

Mo An said she wasn’t having any fun talking any more, and she didn’t give any more hints.

Still, that alone was enough of a hint.

It can be viewed as a place with a lot of magical power, or, in a different way, as a ‘place with a lot of magical life’.

And Hoya knows a creature that is made of magical power itself, and that is likely to have a lot of magic flowing out where it lives.

“Hieros.”

“Hi. ……!”

Hieros, who appeared with a seductive smile at Hoya’s call, found Moan and immediately hid her body behind Hoya.

It’s been this way since the first time she called Hieros in the village, she was so mad at Moan that she attempted a mental attack on Moan, just like when she first met Hoya.

Moan doesn’t really care about it anymore, but Hieros was a little afraid of the same thing happening again.

“Ho, hoya. It’s good to call you often, but please avoid this place……”

“I’ll try.”

“Practice, not effort!”

In response to Hieros’ actions, Hoya greeted Moan and left Hieros and her house.

At that moment, Hieros seemed to be a little more comfortable.

Hoya asked Hieros if there was an Ertel in the place where he lived.

“Ertel? I don’t know. What is that?”
