Chapter 177
We returned to the mansion in the royal capital .
This was so we could start making the magic tool in Philly’s laboratory .
Kathe and Dorgo also came to the mansion in human form .
Kathe said hesitantly,
“Uh, Locke…”
“What?”
“I would like to watch you make it…is that alright?”
“Oh, I don’t mind…what about you, Philly?”
“Of course, I don’t mind . ”
Philly said . Kathe wagged her tail happily .
“You can watch too, Mister Dorgo . ”
“Thank you . I am very interested in this . ”
They had shown us very valuable resource material .
And we would be creating something based off of that, so of course, we would share the results .
Milka was also in Philly’s laboratory .
“Master! I want to watch too!”
“I don’t mind . What do you think, Mister Locke?”
“Of course, I don’t mind . ”
“Yes!”
Milka seemed to be very interested in the making of magic tools .
But it wasn’t something a novice could just understand by watching .
Still, it would be good for her to at least get a feel for it .
If this awakened an interest and she wanted to continue learning, then that would be wonderful .
First, Philly brought up a blueprint for the general construction .
“Locke, what do you think?”
“Let me see…”
It was quite detailed . It also had suggestions for the necessary magic to use .
On the other hand, I talked about the principals of magic and made my own suggestions .
“In that case, I think this kind of magic circle should be used . ”
“I see . In that case…”
It was surprisingly fun to talk about this .
I felt that we would be able to make something very good .
After talking for a while, Philly declared,
“Yes! Now it is decided!”
“Yay!”
Milka said excitedly .
I turned to Dorgo .

“What do you think, Mister Dorgo?”
“I think it would be wonderful if you succeeded . ”
He said this as if he wasn’t completely convinced that we would .
Kathe looked at me seriously .
“I don’t think you can really do it . ”
“We can just think of another way if we fail . ”
“That’s true . ”
Apparently, they both didn’t think it would work .
The wind dragons were good with alchemy, and they found the method that Philly was planning on using to be very difficult .
“Well, I understand your concerns, but I hope you will watch us . ”
Philly said with confidence .
As we all watched, Philly started to create the magic tool . This meant creating the materials first .
Orichalcum and Mithril . She used magic stones a small amount of the Philosopher’s Stone .
I also used magic at different times during the process .
I carved in the magic circles with precision .
After about an hour, the magic tool was complete .
“I think it turned out quite well for our first try?”
“Yes . It is good for a prototype . ”

Philly and I said as we rested . Kathe was shaking .
Lo-Locke . And Philly… Can I see it? I mean…can I touch it?”
“Go ahead . It’s just a prototype . ”
Kathe and Dorgo stared at it obsessively .
Next to them, we continued to talk about it .
“I think this part should be changed…”
“Yes . There is definitely room for improvement . ”
There were things we learned from doing this for the first time .
Dorgo looked quite shocked as he inspected it .
“Why this is… This is of higher quality than what we make . ”
“Surely, you exaggerate . ”
“Not at all . I am very impressed with this . I did not know such a thing was possible . ”
“It was very educational . Thank you . ”
Dorgo and Kathe thanked us .
They were probably just flattering us, but it was nice to be praised by wind dragons who knew a lot about alchemy .
And so Philly and I returned to work .
It took another whole hour . But this time, I was very satisfied with what we had made .
It was a bracelet .
When you put it on, it used the flow of magic within your body to raise your mental resistance .

“No Vampire High Lord will be able to cast Charm on you if you wear this . ”
“Hmm . Yes, I am quite happy with this . ”
Serulis would be safe if she put this on .
As I thought this, Philly said,
“Now… There was something I was thinking about while making it… If we simplified this part and replaced the materials with cheaper stuff…”
“We could mass-produce them?”
“Well, not that much . But perhaps we could make enough for a medium to large team of soldiers…?”
It would be weakened if you simplified it . But it would still be enough to stop a Lord’s Charm .
If we made more, we could give them to soldiers, knights and Adventurers .
Dorgo heard this and opened his mouth after thinking for a little while .
“In that case…”
He was the old king who was could at alchemy, after all .
He suggested a way we could make these while maintaining the quality as much as possible .
Kathe and Milka stood at the side and nodded .
Philly thought about and said,
“In that case, we will need much more mithril . And magic stones, if possible…”
“Alright . We’ll do something about that . ”
If we could produce a lot of them, it would give us a great advantage in the battle against the dark ones .
