Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 439

Chapter 439 - Magical Crystal

That gave that kid a huge advantage… Tutankhamun thought to himself. He was not an amateur like Hutton and Stephen. Although he did not specialize in magical enchantment, the vast knowledge and experience he had accumulated over the years allowed him to grasp critical aspects of any issue. Elemental iron was one of the most valuable magical metals in Anril. During the Dark Age 1300 years ago, only the royals of the High Elves had the right to use magical equipment made from elemental iron.

Furthermore, the powers of elemental iron grew with time. When Geresco created this crate, the elemental iron mineral vein he used was at least a few thousand years old. The mana within it was comparable to a magical crystal’s.

By itself, the essence of magic had neither form nor substance. It would only radiate dazzling beams of light after undergoing a complicated elemental sequencing. Although the halo on the tip of the gold rod was faint, its mere existence was terrifying enough.

If one were to make good use of that essence of magic, he would be able to complete at least three magical enchantments at the Master-level!

Furthermore, it being extracted from the elemental iron allowed the essence of magic to inherit qualities unique to the elemental iron. This meant that if one were to use that essence for magical enchantment, the equipment undergoing the enchantment would also grow in power as time passed. Over time, it would be as great as the legendary Divinity Metal!

If we let this essence of magic take its effect on a magical weapon that was made of the Divinity Metal…

The thought made Tutankhamun smile. How could the Divinity Metal land in the hands of a mortal? All of the Divinity Metal had been dug out during the prehistoric times, when the Titans battled with the Dragons. Those metals were used to create 12 Titan Dragon Spears. Now, anybody who wanted to get their hands on any magical weapon made from that metal could only enter the Pantheon to look for the remains of the 12 Golden Titans.

Tutankhamun still did not know that it was exactly what Lin Li intended to do. By this time, Lin Li had already planned out what magical equipment he wanted to forge. He just had to bring that essence of magic back to start work immediately.

“Oops, I opened it accidentally…” Lin Li said as he smiled hypocritically, and put away the gold rod with the essence of magic casually.

“…” Hutton nearly went out of breath. Can you put more effort into your pretense of humbleness? How could you say that you unlocked the box when you actually let such a big crate disappear? What a shameless man!

On the other side, Stephen realized that he would never see Felic embarrass himself. He realized he was the joke. If that happened to any other man, it would be nothing to fuss about. However, Stephen was a man who experienced comfort and luxury ever since he was born. No one in the Dark Blade would go against his wishes. This included his three elders. They would dote on him and fulfill all of his requests. Over time, he had grown to become a man who could never handle any failures.

Stephen had thought that he would be the first to claim all the objects within the metal box. He had not expected himself to be attacked so miserably by the numerous magic arrows when he actually employed the utmost refined skill of lock-picking which most mages did not know.

How could that Mage Felic resolve all issues with just one gentle touch of a metal rod? The stark difference between himself and Felic naturally induced hate within him…

However, Stephen had not been blinded by anger. He knew that there was still a Hutton who came from the Malfa Family by his side. If he were to start a battle, Hutton would be very happy to join forces with Felic to get rid of himself. Hence, Stephen only gave Felic one deadly glare before lowering his head again. No one knew what was on his mind…

After the blinding light beams faded, the relics of the God of Mages appeared.

There were three items lying quietly on the wooden table. They were namely a book, a key, and a magical crystal. There was a handwritten sentence on the cover page of the book: “Knowledge is the most powerful belief of a mage!”.

“This is really the Book of Eternity…”

That sentence was a well-known quote by the God of Mages. He said it while standing on the top of the Omniscient Tower on the day Alanna Guild of Magic was established. Ever since, it had become a quote every mage held dearly by.

The three young mages would believe the book on the table to be the real Book of Eternity even without that quote. There was a chance for every thing in the world to be fake, but not magical waves. In Anril, mages were always referred to as prophets and intellectuals. That was because mages used their hearts instead of their eyes to make sense of the world. There were many things that could lie to the eyes, but not the heart. Hence, a mage could identify the issue of any topic critically even if there were thousands of strands and loose ends before him.

It was like the Book of Eternity before them. Although the three men had not met Geresco before, the sight of the book enabled them to understand that it was the true copy left behind by Geresco lying on the table.

In that moment, Hutton and Stephen could not help but display burning passion and excitement in their eyes. That was very normal. Any mage who saw the relics of the God of Mages would have the same expression on their face. Furthermore, those were no ordinary relics. The Book of Eternity alone had the entire record of the knowledge and the experience of the God of Mages!

Lin Li was no exception. The only difference was that the excitement in Lin Li’s eyes only stayed there for a split second. His gaze landed on that magical crystal next to the book very quickly.

“Oh my God…” Lin Li gasped when he saw the crystal.

The magical crystal was as big as a fist. It was definitely much bigger than the other crystals Lin Li had handled before. It would be good if the magical crystal of a common magical beast could be the size of a thumb. Even the crystal he got from killing the Crimson Python at Black Clouds Town was just twice the normal size.

Lin Li had seen truck loads of magical crystals throughout his journey from the Endless World to the Anril World. That would include high-end ones that were at least level-10, if not level-20. However, he had only seen one and a half pieces of a crystal as big as this…

One was the heart of the Eternal Furnace—the rare legendary magical crystal of the Fire Wyrm. The crystal was the size of a human head, and contained massive amount of mana sufficient for the furnace to function. In fact, the Eternal Furnace was a piece of war equipment made after Osric referenced the structure of the Sky Castle. The number of magical weapons, magical devices, and mageweaths and the amount of mana needed to create the Eternal Furnace were astronomical. After Lin Li had descended into the furnace to put his Spiritual Brand on the Fire Wyrm magical crystal, he gained huge benefits. One of them was reaching the Archmage-level immediately.

The remaining half of the crystal he had seen would be the one dug out from Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction. The reason why it was ‘halved’ was because Lin Li still could not extract any bit of mana. He had tried everything he could for the past one year he travelled from the Endless World to Anril, but to no avail. It was as if that was just an ordinary stone.

Lin Li remembered very clearly that he had skinned Azardas and had ridden it of its veins. He had searched Azardas’ body very thoroughly. He went through its skin, bones, veins, blood, and even fur, but could not find any other objects related to the Wyrm Crystal other than that stone.

Furthermore, how would there be a stone within the Dragon of Destruction? Unless it got gallstones from a sedentary life by sleeping in its cave… Alright, even if that happened, it did not make sense for the stone to be growing in its head…

After eliminating everything else that would never happen, there could only be one conclusion: the stone-like object Lin Li had got from the dragon was a real magical crystal. That was the largest magical crystal Lin Li had seen in his life.

Oh, yes. I shouldn’t let Tutankhamun know this. Who knows if he is the son of the Dragon of Destruction? Although it was a different world, it would definitely offend him. For his Sanctuary-level abilities, he would be able to seek revenge for his father any time he wanted. Even if Lin Li had 10 lives, the result would be his death.

That thought caused Lin Li to steal a quick glance at Tutankhamun guiltily. After realizing that the expression of the descendant of the Dragon of Destruction remained unaffected, he managed to calm down gradually and direct his focus on the magical crystal again…

Lin Li discovered that Stephen and Hutton were all looking intently at the Book of Eternity. They were not a bit interested in that magical crystal which came together with the book.

That was because the magical wave emitted by the magical crystal was definitely incomparable to that of the Book of Eternity. If the Book of Eternity was a bright moon, then the magical crystal had to be a firefly. Although its magical wave was not weak, it was certainly ordinary. Judging from the frequency of the wave, the maximum would only be around level-15.

A level-15 magical crystal would be an uncommon treasure to the usual mages, yet when it came to Stephen and Hutton, coming from the Dark Blade and the Malfa Family, respectively, their taste had long surpassed that of common mages. To them, a level-15 magical crystal was good. But, it was just “good”. They would rather pay more attention to the Book of Eternity…
