Chapter 251 – Birth of an Alchemist

This is the magic scroll that I kept by my side when I was recharging my magic all day yesterday. I held the rolled magic scroll in my hand and swallowed.

‘Is the experiment a success? Or fail?’

An experiment to apply magic power to inanimate objects.
The alchemists of Tabula injected mana into the magic scroll by using mana concentrate. All alchemists on the continent may have different methods of injecting mana, but the long time it takes is the same.

It takes more than a month of maturation to complete a magic scroll.
That is an absolute proposition known among alchemists so far. It was the idea of ​​the alchemists that shortening the period was impossible. But at this moment, I don’t know if I can turn the impossible into possible. With the unique ability of the dreamer clan that no one knows about.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and focused on the magic scroll in my hand. The moment I sensed the inside of the scroll, I could feel the accumulated mana through my skin. Compared to when it was just taken out of the pot yesterday morning, the mana capacity increased incomparably.

“Ohhhhh…!”

High purity mana with no impurities.
That’s enough mana to activate the sealed [Ice Javelin]! The experiment was a success. It has been proven that the mana released by magic charge is also absorbed by inanimate objects. In other words, there is no need for repetitive labor of stirring the jar anymore.

Having sex for a day vs doing manual labor for a month

If you have to choose between the two, of course it’s sex, right?

“Oh, sex!”

I had goosebumps all over my body from excitement. Because I learned a new application method of mana charging.

The ability to imbue inanimate objects with mana without any equipment!

As an alchemist who uses mana as a power source, he has obtained excellent abilities in his hands. Recharging and using exhausted mana stones, or injecting additional mana to enhance the performance of magic tools. When the other alchemists are wasting their time over mana problems, I can move forward without hesitation.

Of course, the experiment isn’t over yet.
The magic scroll was activated immediately in the room. I opened the rolled up scroll and recited the pre-determined start language.

“Running.”

The magic scroll, recognizing the start word, responded immediately. The condition I set to activate the magic scroll was to open the scroll and recite the starting words. At that moment, the mana accumulated through magic charge began to circulate and the magic formula began to be interpreted.

The heater turned on and the room, which had been warm, gradually cooled down. Above the unfolded magic scroll, elements of cold air were gathering. It gathers, compresses, and solidifies to create an elongated spear of ice.

In other words, everything is being done as designed for the magic scroll. The moment the Ice Spear is completed, the [Ice Javelin] Will be activated immediately in front. Since there is no particular problem, the experiment can be considered a success as it is.

“Stop.”

I canceled the activation of the magic scroll by reciting the starter word that meant interruption.

Magic scrolls are consumables after all.
Once activated, you can’t waste an object that can’t be used for experiments. It’s enough just to make sure the magic is cast without any problems. The elements of cold air that had gathered in the air were scattered in all directions. It is the first magic scroll made, but it seems that there will be no problem selling it on the market right away.

From now on, will I be able to earn a living through alchemy? It means you have a good source of income.

“Ugh… It’s cold.”

Could it be because he felt the cold because of the scattered cold elements?
Kate, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She said that when you share joy, she doubles it.
I told Kate, who had just woken up, the good news.

“Kate! The magic scroll is complete. It means that the magic scroll you and I recharged worked properly. The time it took to make the scroll was drastically reduced. What used to take a month was solved in just one day!”
“Eh… Magic scroll? Come to think of it, we did an experiment yesterday, right?”

Kate stared at the magic scroll I was holding with her half-closed eyes.

“Aren’t magic scrolls sold at high prices? It means that you can print them in one day. It must be a great way to make money.”
“You’re quick to understand.”
“Whoops! It’s the fruit of love that Mongma-nim and I created. Isn’t it the best thing to make money by doing lewd things? If you have an alchemist husband, you won’t have to worry about old age. Please take good care of me in the future.”

Match!

I high-fived Kate, who raised her hand. Like a nun who can reveal money, you know the value of magic scrolls well. Normally, I would have hung out with Kate a little more in the room, but now it was time to visit Tabula’s workshop. Because I wanted to show Kellon the magic scroll completed in one day.

“I’ll go to the workshop.”
“Sweets when you come.”
“Yes.”

She put on her coat and went out of the inn.
Quite a bit of time has passed since we arrived at the holy land of the Great Forest. Snow was falling in the Holy Land, which had completely entered winter.

I walked through the ankle-deep snow on the street and went to Tabula’s studio.

“Luke-sama! I was embarrassed because he suddenly ran out of the workshop yesterday. I don’t know what kind of experiments he did, but he finally returned to the workshop. Let’s start injecting mana into the magic scroll again.”

Kelon, who was supervising the laborers in the workshop, greeted me. Even today, countless slave workers could be seen stirring jars with canes. Up until yesterday, I was mixed up with those beasts and went to work.

“Injecting high-purity mana definitely takes time. I understand the desire to make a finished product in a hurry, but it can’t be helped. Our Tabula has also studied for a long time. But no matter how short the period is, it still takes a month. The best way is to use mana concentrate.”

Was he worried that I would run out of the studio again?
Kellon grabbed me and gave a lengthy explanation. Perhaps he firmly believes that the experiment has failed. So far, the continent’s alchemists must have tried to shorten the time it takes to inject mana. The alchemists just didn’t know the abilities of the dreamers.

“Is that really for the best?”
“Yes?”
“Was the method of using the mana concentrate the best?”
“Of course, it’s the best! It’s an injection method that senior alchemists discovered after countless experiments. It’s impossible to shorten the period to less than a month. Unless we discover a new substance that transfers high-purity mana…”
“It wasn’t impossible.”
“…What does that mean?”

He held the completed magic scroll at Kelon, who had a puzzled look on his face. It is a magic scroll completed in one day through the magic charge of the dreamer clan.

“The experiment was a success. The magic scroll with [Ice Javelin] Sealed was completed. It took just one day to inject high-purity mana. You can check it with your own eyes.”
“Haha… What nonsense.”

Kelon accepted the magic scroll and responded with an absurd response. It must be because she can’t trust me, a newcomer to alchemy. However, the moment she opened her scroll and sensed mana directly, Kellon’s reaction changed.

“If you’re joking, it’s not very funny… Huh?!”

Kellon clutched her scroll with both of her hands and widened her eyes.

“…God, that’s very pure mana! There are no impurities that can be detected compared to when using mana concentrate? The magic scroll is completely filled with mana!”
“The [Ice Javelin] Also activates just fine. I checked in the morning to see if it activates without difficulty.”
“Impossible…! You must have brought another magic scroll from somewhere? I’ve never heard of someone completing a magic scroll in one day!”

There was no doubt about the magic scroll that had become a finished product. It is a magic scroll in which I wrote the spell with my own handwriting with the help of Kelon. Kellon must have known well because he personally watched the process of working from the sidelines. That this must have been a piece of paper that hadn’t even contained a handful of mana a few days ago.

Kelon looked at her in disbelief as she checked the magic scroll several times. However, the fact that my magic scroll was a finished product did not change.

“What kind of experiment did you do!! Did you newly discover a substance with extremely high mana conductivity? Please tell me!!”

Kellon shouted as if the workshop were about to leave. She drew the eyes of Tabula’s members and countless numbers of workers to us. It must be that the attention is focused on the sudden uproar.

“What is it? Isn’t that the adventurer with Mr. Kellon?”
“Why is Kelon suddenly having a seizure?”

There were whispers, but Kellon didn’t care. She’s just staring at me to clear up her doubts. As an alchemist, this must be information you want to find out. She said she reduced a month’s worth of work to one day, but she couldn’t help but feel hot.

“I was foolish to think it was the best way! Please, Lord Luke, teach me!”
“The way I injected mana…”
“Way?!”

I mean, what is that method?

“Sex.”
“Sex?”
“…”

It’s sex, it’s sex!

I was about to give an answer, but I was speechless half way through.

Magic charge of the dreamer clan.
An amazing ability to become a mana battery on the bed. I’ve achieved what countless alchemists couldn’t, but I couldn’t be honest.

… Embarrassing to speak

It’s an embarrassing ability to talk openly in front of others. Talking openly about having sex with your lover all day? What kind of shame play is that

“Well…”

I said a word to Kellon, who was full of her expectations.

“…It’s a secret.”
“I’ll provide you with the information fee!”
“Money is not the problem. It’s a secret that will take you to the grave.”

Poof!
I quickly snatched the magic scroll that Kellon was holding. I want to quickly evade the seat before arguing further. Isn’t it a method that other alchemists can follow just because you teach it anyway? Magical charge is a unique ability of the dreamer clan. After all, I’m the only one on the continent who can print a magic scroll in one day.

“I’ve learned how to make scrolls well. I’ve been taught enough, so I’ll just go down the mountain.”
“No! Our Tabula haven’t been taught yet! We can’t let Luke down!”
“Work hard.”

I ran out of the workshop without looking back.
I learned how to make a scroll, so I didn’t have to see Tabula anymore.

‘Cause now I’ve got some free time
The time has come to teach Wendy magic.
