Chapter 313 – Bracelet of Antima #1

Near the end of March, I decided to make a new artifact with the money I had saved up so far.
After all, if you are an adventurer, shouldn’t you invest in equipment whenever you accumulate money?
If you have the luxury of earning enough money, you are no different from a glutton that eats away at the adventurer industry.

‘There is an artifact that must be made.’

There was an artifact I wanted to make for myself and other party members in a hurry.
It is an artifact that grants resistance to mental attacks and hallucination magic.
As for why such an artifact was needed first, it was because of hallucination magic, which is often rumored these days.

‘They say the Drakes are going crazy because of hallucination magic.’

Hallucinatory magic was not only eaten by monsters, but could also be abused by people.
What if hallucinatory magic were to hit my main party members?

‘It’s terrible.’

I never want to go through the experience of being stabbed behind my back by an ally!
I would have tasted more severe sadness than having my lover be NTRed.

In particular, it was the Wisemans who were suspected of using hallucination magic.
He’s a dreamer like me, so he has eyes that hypnotize people.

Not fascinated.
The eyes of high-ranking dreamers who hypnotize the opposite sex. There are various restrictions, such as being able to hypnotize only one person at the same time, not being able to hold hypnosis on a person for a long time, etc., But there is no doubt that it is a troublesome ability.
Needless to say, it was the counter of my fixed party, which was made up of all female members except for me.

If we ever run into the Wisemans again, it could be catastrophic.

‘I’ll have to do something. NTR should be avoided.’

It’s time to need an anti-mental attack artifact.
I visited Rumi’s library and searched for suitable artifacts in the book.
After searching the library all day, I was able to find the most useful artifact.

――The anti-ma bracelet.

It was a bracelet worn by the ancients during the Great War in preparation for the demonic attack of the demon army. The Demon Lord Loki is a god who is synonymous with tricksters, and he often used hallucination magic to disturb the ancients even during wars. Most of the artifacts of the ancients were enchanted to protect the mind.

The Anti-Ma Bracelet is a representative protective artifact of the ancients.
It is an essential equipment to deal with the demon king’s army that casts all sorts of curses and hallucination magic.

“Rumi. Make a copy of the blueprint for this Anti-Magic Bracelet. I’ll take it outside.”
[All right. We will make a copy of the artifact blueprint.]

I got a copy of the blueprint from Rumi and carried it out of the library.
There were a lot of alchemy materials needed to make the Anti-Ma Bracelet, but you just need to buy them from Delia.
Having connections in Ninggard was quite convenient.

After visiting the space-time gate lab, I asked Delia for the necessary materials, who were stuck in her lab.

“Delia, do you know about the artifact called the Bracelet of the Anti-Horse?”
“Anti-demon bracelet? It’s an ancient artifact used for mental protection. It’s also kept in our research lab, so of course we know it. With that one, it blocks all sorts of mental attacks.”
“It’s nice to talk about it. I want to make a bracelet of anti-evil with my own hands. I want to make six, so I’ll buy enough materials. I’ll ask you.”
“You’re going to make six Anti-Ma bracelets each?”

Even if you wear the anti-ma bracelet repeatedly, the effect does not increase.
The reason I make several is to hand them out to my lovers or children like my daughter.

Rebecca, Kate, Bella, Wendy and Mary.

Including myself, there are six people in all.
I gave a short answer to Delia, who wondered why she needed so many bracelets.

“I have to share it with the party members. It’s to reinforce the party’s strength, but I don’t want to save money.”
“Yeah, that’s right. My brother says something that looks cool for some reason. Do you know how much it costs?”
“You have to calculate and let me know.”

Delia calculated the material cost of her bracelet before opening her mouth.

“Since you’re a regular customer of our lab, I’ll give you a special discount! All in all, it’s 180 gold. This is a huge discount, so thank you.”
“180 gold?”

No joke, it was a really big discount.
I didn’t come to the research center without knowing anything like Hogu.
Originally, a total of 60 gold was required to make one Antima Bracelet.
Since you are making 6 of them, you can say that if you multiply them, you will get 360 gold.

The amount Delia sang was 50% off her cigar.
It’s as good as having a sale on Steam!

‘Cut 180 gold coins? Does that make sense?’

I was wary of the excessive discount rate.
Just like meeting the followers of a pseudo-religion, when you meet people who treat you too well, you start to get suspicious.

Why does this Mesgaki bitch keep doing me a favor?
At this point, I want to know the specific reason.

I asked Delia cautiously.

“Do you like me?”
“Don’t be silly.”

Delia frowned as soon as I asked if she liked it.
I can tell from her reaction that she doesn’t think of me as a man.

“Otherwise, there’s no reason to keep helping like this. It was free when we rented the lab, and they did almost free to investigate Drake, and this time they gave us a huge discount. Isn’t it reasonable to assume that there is some rational reason?”

Every time I helped, I gave a suitable excuse, but this time there will be no excuses.
180 gold coins is not money buried in the nose of children, and if you sell the materials of the laboratory at a bargain price, you will get a backlash from the members of the organization.

There is also a limit to acting in large groups.
Reveal your true heart, Mesgaki bitch.

“Whoa… Can’t we help it?”

As I stared at her, Delia shrugged her shoulders, unable to make up her excuses.

“Actually, there’s a reason she keeps helping her brother.”
“Is this what the boss told me to do? Help me?”
“That’s not it. It’s my will to help you. Brother Luke seems to be underestimating his status in the world of magic too much.”

My stature?
The status of a first-class wizard with a reputation in the adventurer’s guild?

“Luke, how old are you now?”
“He’s 23 years old.”
“Yes, Luke is a genius who became a first-class wizard at a young age in his early 20s. As the heir to Ninggard, it is impossible for me to become a first-class wizard at his age. He’s a strong candidate to reach.”

To the wizards of the continent, the archmage is treated as a legendary superman.
In fact, in the 500 years since the end of the Great War, only one person has been able to become an archmage.
Only Lawrence, the leader of Ninggard.

Only one archmage has been born in 500 years, and Lawrence is now too old to pass away.
The attention of wizards would have no choice but to focus on the candidate for the next great wizard to be born.

Perhaps Delia wants to say something like this.

“It’s sad, but the headmaster read the heavenly gi and said that his lifespan was short. In this situation, Luke’s brother became the only archmage candidate. Of course, from Ninggard’s point of view, we can’t help but be interested, right? The same rune mage class It’s even better because the magicians of the world will prosper.”

Delia looked at me blankly.

“The reason I’m helping my brother is, to put it simply, I’m sponsoring a rune mage who has a bright future. It’s to invest the money now and build a friendly relationship with him when he becomes a great mage in the future. To be honest in front of the person concerned A little bit, though.”
“Was it sponsored?”

It was only now that he was able to fully see through Delia’s intentions.
It was to build intimacy with me, who would become the archmage in the future, from an early age.
It was a must-do for Delia, who would become Ninggard’s boss.

‘Is this a donation of 180 gold coins?’

When she found out about her situation, she was finally able to accept Delia’s favor without question.
If she says it’s a donation, isn’t it a debt she must repay?
Besides, when I was living on Earth, I used to be very envious of streamers who craved donations.

‘Honestly, I was so envious of streamers who collect money with Donero.’

All you have to do is sit back and click your mouse and you’re making money.
Of course, there are people who react violently, but the feeling of envy doesn’t change.
However, after being reincarnated in another world, the day when I received support came before I knew it.
My heart was pounding because I was strangely moved.

It’s a sponsorship of 180 gold coins!
How the hell am I supposed to react?

“Anyway, thank you for helping me. Since it’s sponsorship, you’re helping out of pure kindness. I’ll show you my reaction too.”
“Reaction…? What is reaction?”
“It’s reacting to the person who supports it. Just stay there.”

It was when Delia was staring at me with her puzzled expression.
The time has come to teach the people of this world what reactions are.
I moved closer to Delia and grabbed her body with both hands.

Took!

“Go, what are you doing all of a sudden! Don’t let this go?”
“Huh!!”

I raised Delia high into the sky while shouting. Her small size makes it easy to hold in her hand.
Most of her weight is probably taken up by her chest and hips.

Whoa!

“President Delia!! Sponsored 180 gold coins!! Thank you!!”
“Oh ahhhhh!”

I held her Delia up and moved her as if she were playing her airplane with her baby.
Without using magic, he reacted with great care using purely muscular strength.

“I wish you all the best in the future.”

Thud!

When I put it down on her floor, Delia had a stunned expression on her face.
The reaction with 180 gold coins was so good that he must have gone crazy.

“This, this is a reaction? You didn’t mean to kill me?”
“Actually, I wanted to play a joke. You’re playing a joke on me too.”
“Kuh…”

Delia pulled herself up with a look of indignation.
It’s her side who usually pranks her, so even if she gets hurt, she won’t have much to say.

“I’m waiting for you at the lab I lent to her brother the other day. I’ll bring the materials needed to make her anti-ma bracelet.”

I was able to pay Delia her gold coins and get her materials.
They are expensive materials such as rare metals, jewels with magical effects, and rune stones that can engrave runes.
After that, he locked himself in the temporary workshop of the research institute and immersed himself in his work, quickly creating a finished product.

Total work time was 6 days.
This is roughly equivalent to creating one artifact per day.
I heard that the work speed was unbelievably fast from the staff of the research institute, but I did not feel that it was so fast from my point of view.

‘I’ll have to test the finished product to see if it works properly.’

I went outside with anti-ma bracelets and thought about who would be my test subject.

There is Gwangmyeongseong Church nearby.
We can test the effectiveness of the bracelet on Kate.

Is it time for you to take a nap in the church building at this time?
As scary as it sounds, I’ve rarely seen Kate work in a church.
