I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

96 – Power Stone

I entrusted Ene with the sorting and sorting of the items piled up in the common area while figuring out in detail what to sell as a merchant, and after asking Baekmyeon to help Ene.

I transferred into a room with Ezerina.

“Is this… A warehouse?”

Ezerina looked around the room, which was about dozens of pyeong, and found a small amount of by-products of monsters placed in the corner of the room and asked me.

“That’s right. You can teleport to the entrance of the workshop, but then seeing someone else using space magic might be a little annoying.”

Anyway, it seemed like this warehouse was filled with materials just a week ago, but it’s already almost used up.

As if I was used to it, I walked from the storage room to the empty part, and poured out the materials for the monsters I had put in the subspace.

Patter-

Materials pouring ceaselessly from a hole in the air.

When the space is filled with materials, I move to the side, and I keep filling the storage with materials.

At that time, 90% of the warehouse was filled.

… To and from

The sound of someone rushing was heard, and the heavy warehouse’s iron door rattled! It opened violently with a loud noise.

“Welcome! My partner!”

There, a half-dwarf girl with bright orange eyes like jewels, Cyclops Red Mountain, was welcoming me with arms wide open.

“Ahahahaha! There are a lot of materials for rare monsters from dungeons! All of them are first-class quality without any unnecessary damage! It’s dangerous! My hands are itching already! My desire to create is overflowing! After all, a partner is the best!”

The head of the Cyclops smiled broadly like a child entering a toy store, looking at the materials that filled the warehouse.

“That girl is the master’s exclusive craftsman…? But isn’t she still too young to be a master craftsman…?”

Ezerina covered her mouth and murmured softly so that she could not be heard, looking slightly suspiciously at the childish-looking girl who was excitedly examining the materials piled up all over the place, with her orange hair tied in two pigtails.

When I saw that talented artisans called masters were usually middle-aged or older people who had honed their crafting skills for decades. Her question was reasonable enough.

Then, as if recognizing Ezerina, the Cyclops tilted her head and asked me.

“Huh? Partner. Who’s your sister over there?”

“He’s my subordinate. I have to renew her equipment this time. Kickle, can you make her equipment?”

“Of course! If it’s a request from a precious partner! This Cyclops will do everything in its power to make it for you!”

Placing her hand on his chest, the Cyclops with her confident smile began examining Ezerina’s whole body with her serious eyes.

“Hmm…. My sister is a swordsman who mainly uses quick swords? In addition, she specializes in light, fast wind-type footwork. The combat method is to constantly move and attack the opponent, focusing on the one-hit escape? Hmmm? I think there’s something else… By any chance, unnie, have your gifts bloomed recently?”

“How did you do that…?!”

Her startled Ezerina hurriedly turned her head to me and sent her eyes to me, implying that she might have given her information in advance, but I He shook his head and denied it.

The reason Cyclops, who hadn’t even heard the information beforehand, was able to know Ezerina’s fighting style in detail, came from her natural talent——thanks to her innate ‘sight of observation’.

From the moment she saw another person, the shape of the muscles attached to her limbs, her standing posture, her walking stride, her center of gravity…… Etc. Instinctively extracting information from literally everything on the visible body, seeing through what equipment the opponent needs…… He has a terrifying eye for observation.

To the extent that I immediately ‘recognized’ my true identity wearing the ‘Faceless Face’, a grade A equipment.

‘I was really surprised at that time.’

After I broke up with Miris, I immediately returned to the studio in the form of Mistiltein. Did you leave something behind? But what is that outfit?’ When he said that, I was so surprised that I was frozen involuntarily.

… Well, there was no need to desperately hide his identity unless the other party was from the Demonic Church, so I just revealed my identity and signed a contract as an exclusive craftsman.

For your information, the contents of the contract are to provide the materials for the monsters you hunted for free, to provide as much support as possible for the production, and that I have the priority of ownership of the product…… Etc.

It was a contract in which she benefited almost unilaterally, to the point where Cyclops had no benefit other than ownership of the product.

I know that the rapid growth of her crafting skills is an incomparable benefit compared to the trivial gains from selling monster materials, so I’m applying for a contract like this.

‘The Cyclops at the end of the game is a factory-level genius who produces A- or S-class items regardless of weapon, armor, consumables, etc.’

If the timing was delayed even a little bit, the current loss would not be included even in the axis of the loss.

“…As you guessed, a few hours ago I awakened a gift named [Fly Wing]. It is a gift that grants me the ability to ‘fly’.”

Anyway, thanks to her powers of observation, Eze Rina, who realized that the Cyclops’ skills were unusual, cleared her doubts, explained all of her information, and cooperated smoothly with the Cyclops.

“Hey~ It’s equipment that will help people with flight skills… This stimulates creativity again!”

Cyclops smirked as if he was very interested and listened intently to Ezerina’s words with a smile that raised the corners of her mouth.

As soon as Ezerina finished speaking, she began walking around her warehouse and quickly picking out materials for her equipment, as if she had already finished planning her equipment.

“Hmm… First of all, make armor using Boss Wind Wyvern’s wing membrane and Flying Monkey’s balloon bag… Ah! Arrow Fish’s injection engine! It would be nice to use this too! And… Yes… , I picked them all with this one!”

Cycrops, who had been busily picking out materials for a few minutes, hugged a bunch of materials in his arms, told him to follow him, and went out of the warehouse.

After leaving the warehouse, we arrived at a room that looked like a blacksmith’s shop, as if it had been used just before, and the air could still feel the heat.

“Now then, let’s start making it!”

The Cyclops, who put the material he was holding down on one side, picked up a few unusual ores piled up in the corner and threw them into the furnace where a weak fire remained. Did.

“Hmm, it will take about 10 minutes to get to the temperature needed for production….Ah, that’s right! Shall we use this opportunity to use the ‘that’ we got last time? It’s perfect for this equipment.”

“…’That’?”

“Yes! This is it!”

The Cyclops showed Ezerina the ‘something’ he took out of her crafting tool pouch hanging from her waist.

It is a crystal-like stone that shines blue. On the outside, it was a stone that looked similar to the magic crystals commonly obtained from monsters.

Ezerina must have thought the same, as she tilted her head and said.

“This… Isn’t it just an ordinary magic stone…?”

“Ah, that’s not a magic stone, it’s a ‘power stone’. It’s also called a gift stone.”

“Intelligence, seok…Iyo…?”

“It’s a ‘material that allows the gift’s ability to dwell in equipment’ made by skilled Gifteds by blowing their Gift into an empty magic crystal. For reference, this is a C-grade Power Stone containing ‘[Acceleration]’. “

Cyclops began to explain step by step to Ezerina, who looked like she was hearing about her superpower stone for the first time.

“Gifteds can use the gift without any special consciousness as long as they have enough magic power and the will to use the gift. If you literally think about it, you can say that the magic moves on its own and the gift is used. But there is not enough magic for the gift Gifteds who have mastery and have succeeded in understanding their Gifts more deeply can understand the movement of magic when using the gift and realize ‘another’ use of the gift. That’s what it is. It’s ‘granting abilities’ to other objects.”

“A gift of superpower…?”

“For example, a Gifted with the gift of [Hardening] Can temporarily use [Hardening] On an object in his hand beyond his own body? There will be.”

“If that’s a beginner level… Is there a next level?”

“Hmm, about 3 steps.

The first stage is temporarily granted to objects that are in ‘contact’ with one’s body.

The second step is to grant temporary gifts to ‘others’.

And the last step is to imprint a ‘permanent’ ability on an object that has the property of storing magic power, such as a magic stone.

… Well, other than that, there are rumors that people with a high understanding of magic can bestow the ability of a gift to ‘magic itself’, but I don’t know if it’s true or not!”

I listened to her words with one ear and looked for information on granting abilities in her strategy book. I was able to find information right away, whether it was a function implemented in the game.

『Grant 1: 30% required skill

Step 2: 50% required skill

Step 3: Required skill level 70%

Additional stage: Magical attribute of A grade or higher, required proficiency 30%~80% (depending on the level of magical attribute)』

The extra step written there must be referring to giving the ability of a gift to the magic itself that Cyclops just talked about.

If you think about it, I was already using the enchantment of the stage other than the last time quite often.

Mainly, by using [Hardening] On a thread made with magical power to make it look like a tough wire, or by using [Sharp] To enhance its cutting power.

It’s very easy to use, and the gift proficiency is quite high, so I used to use it often….

I didn’t expect it to be a high-difficulty skill that requires a considerable amount of skill to use.

Because even if it’s a ‘gift I just got’, I can immediately endow magic with superpowers.

For some reason, I feel like an afro-haired man who draws a picture and says, ‘It’s so easy~’.

“Anyway, this ability stone is a very rare material. As it is a material that only skilled Gifted can make, it is said that there are few items for sale. Oh, and even if Gifted is proficient in endowment, the stone dwells in it. It is said that the level of supernatural ability is at least one level lower. Still, it is still a very good material.”

She checks the temperature of the oven, tosses in some materials, takes crafting tools from her waistband, and so on. Even as she busily prepared for the production, she continued her talk.

“It is difficult even for a skilled artisan to fully imprint the ability of the Power Stone on a product. Perhaps a blacksmith in a village cannot make it, and even a blacksmith in a fairly large city cannot fully imprint the ability of a Power Stone, and one or two It will be imprinted with a talent that has fallen a step further. Isn’t it only about 30% that craftsmen with the name Master can fully imprint?”

“…And you?”

“Me? Of course…”

The girl with a confident smile said as she struck the hammer.

“Perfect engraving.”

Kang-!

A clear sound began to resonate loudly in the studio.
