YM778.TV Chapter 431 Magic Crafting ( 1 )
"I already told you I\'m fine… You don\'t have to visit me here."
Lola grumbled as she saw Brycen looking at her with worry.
Brycen went alone here in Nidite City to visit his senior sister. Although he didn\'t expect to be welcomed, he still felt disappointed after seeing how he was being treated.
\'She\'s still upset about that matter…\' Brycen thought as he felt difficult to state his real purpose for coming here.
Lola saw his dejected face and realized that she seemed to be too harsh on her junior disciple.
In the end, she tried to explain her situation…
"I have a lot of matters to attend to… I can\'t bring you around the city."
"It\'s fine, Senior Sister… I just came here to learn more about the Sea Race… I\'ve never encountered them before so I\'m curious." Brycen promptly replied. Although he indeed wanted to see her, he was also interested in these Sea Creatures that dared to invade her city after they were threatened by the Star Garden Peak…
There wasn\'t much information regarding this race and not even Solomon\'s Pillar can tell the limit of their capabilities.
The only thing he knows about this race is that they have the largest territory in this world! Through much research and experiments, they learned that the world they are in has a vast ocean surrounding their continent.
It means that if they really felt threatened in their current territory, they could\'ve moved away from there instead of planning to conquer a piece of land above them…
He was curious how they were forced by the Star Garden Peak to move above ground.
"Hmm… Do you want to join our traders?" Lola asked after thinking for a moment…
"Yes! That would be great." Brycen agreed as this is the best way to get in contact with them.
He then spent a few days within the city as he waited for the traders to set off. It seems that trading with the Sea Race only happens once a week.
Their transactions are being done on a small island 15 kilometers away from the shore of the Nidite City.
The Sea Race will trade various treasures that can be found under the sea like pearls, precious stones, shells, live fish, eggs, or replaceable parts of the members of the Sea Race like shark fangs, octopus ink, scales, and fins…
On the other hand, the One Sea Merchant Union will use Savage Beast\'s Cores and Mana Crystals to trade with them…
Unsurprisingly, they were valuing the cores more than the Mana Crystals.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A group of large Sea Creatures that seems to be shark variants approached the leader of the traders while the others started working and making transactions with other Sea Creatures that can speak their language.
They went inside the ship that was docked at the shore of the island. It seems that they will be having an important meeting.
If Brycen wasn\'t mistaken, the leader of the traders was Lola\'s right-hand man and one of the administrators of the city.
He immediately followed them and luckily, he was allowed to enter and join the meeting thanks to his status as the old Tower Lord\'s disciple.
"The Sea King wanted the Barbarians to be eliminated… We\'re here to make a proposal to make this happen…"
This is what the sharkmen said and the trade administrator was shocked by the sudden announcement. It was too abrupt!
The administrator immediately composed himself as he tried to understand the situation… He asked for more details and apparently, the Sea Race has been visited by the Star Garden Peak again and brought them a few corpses of the Barbarian Race.
The Sea King and many high-level members of the Sea Race liked the meat of the Barbarians, especially those that have many tattoos. They can actually get stronger by consuming them!
Furthermore, the Sea King learned that the Barbarians are a threat to humanity so they decided to ally with them and kill the Barbarians…
\'This… What are those people from the Peak thinking?\' Brycen was flabbergasted by this sudden revelation. He was truly confused by this mysterious organization that keeps trying to control the Sea Race through various methods.
However, he knows that they can\'t pass up this opportunity as well.
\'I\'ve never thought that the Barbarians can be treated as food… This Sea Race is too scary…\' Brycen mused and perhaps, everyone had a similar thought about this.
Nevertheless, if they were planning to eat the Barbarian Race, he immediately recalled the corpses that they\'d burned several days ago after the siege…
They killed hundreds of Barbarians at that time and burning them is the best method they thought to ensure that no disease will in the surroundings of their city.
Of course, they\'ve done this after looting their weapons and anything that can be harvested.
The normal barbarians have no valuable parts in their bodies but the Barbarian Kings and the Totemic Barbarians have… It was their eyes that can be turned into Magic Tools.
Although their hearts can be used as an alchemy ingredient as well, they have been unfortunately corrupted by the Bloodlust so they have become useless. It seems that they\'ve actually wasted these corpses. Perhaps, they could\'ve used those as trade materials if they were aware of it.
\'The Star Garden Peak ordered them to attack the land before… Now they were using them again to eliminate the Barbarians… Just what is going on here?\'
Brycen frowned thinking about it.
After a while, he can only try and convince Vincent to bring him as well to the Peak.

In the meantime, Vincent remained busy with his lessons and started his Magic Crafting…
After learning the basics from Levent, he was now attempting to create a higher-level Magic Item… He\'s not planning to create a complicated Magic Item yet but he wanted to see the limit of his skills. Creating an Uncommon Rank was already too easy for him so he\'s planning to use better materials now to create a Rare or even a Unique Rank Magic Item.
\'This should do…\'
Vincent thought as he looked at his workbench…
There are currently five items on it as he confirmed all of their qualities…
[ Primal Toadwood Branch +0 ]
[ Bright Amethyst Crystal +0 ]
[ A Bottle of Luxury Earth Powder +0 ]
[ A Bottle of Fine Burr +0 ]
[ Jagged Flower Essence +0 ]
These five items can supposedly make him a Magic Staff if he was successful…
"Alright, you can begin if you\'re ready…" Levent said as she sat in a corner to watch Vincent with his magic crafting.
