Episode 102. Characteristics check and mirinae
rattled.
Chi profit.
I slowly poured the solution from the flask in my hand into the potion bottle.
The place where I am now is Diene’s private laboratory.
While I went to the Tower of Modras, research was being conducted in her lab, so the place was moved.
So, naturally, Lucia and Diene were right next to me.
The two held their breath and watched what I was doing, but their eyes were quite serious.
And my eyes won’t be too different from theirs.
What I am doing now is not experimentation or research, but the manufacturing of the cure itself.
‘I still have enough ingredients to make two more, but.’
Contrary to my expectations, the material I received at the meeting was larger than expected.
A good number to try at least three times.
Of these, this was the first attempt.
“Diene.”
“uh. here.”
It was necessary to continuously mix the exact amount of the formulation at the correct time.
Fortunately, I had gifted-level potion talent, so I was able to judge as freely as breathing.
I put the mixture Diene made and handed over to the potion bottle again and mixed it.
The method of mixing was also different from time to time, and at times it was hectic because it had to be heated.
“Raise Lucia’s temperature.”
“yes.”
Diene and Lucia moved busily at my hands and instructions that worked like machines.
And finally the time of waiting has come.
“We did everything we could.”
“Good work, both of you.”
“Good job.”
Following my words, Lucia and Diene spoke in turn.
After putting the potion bottle in the refrigeration tool installed on one side of the lab, I took a breath.
Now, in three days, it was the two months Salem said.
‘Perhaps Salem is immersed in the Bible, forgetting the promise.’
Maybe he was still looking for the Bible.
Even if I told you the location, the area was so wide.
“How many hours did you say you had to wait?”
“3 hours?”
“Then let’s go out for a bit and fill our stomachs.”
Lucia nodded in response to Diene’s words and looked up at me.
“You two go. I’ll get some rest.”
Lucia gave a regretful look, but Diene, who was quick to notice, took Lucia’s hand and left. It must have read the atmosphere of wanting to be alone.
I confirmed that the two of them were leaving and immediately pulled out the Galaksur from the waistband.
[Sealed Sword―Galacsur]
[73% Mana Conductivity]
[It is sealed.]
[It can be strengthened.]
A sentence that did not exist before has been added.
I took a close look at the statement that reinforcement is possible.
[Can be enhanced.]
―240g of gold is required.
After reading the description of the addition, I fell into trouble for a while.
The unique characteristic ‘enhancement’ obtained as a reward for achieving this achievement has never been obtained before, but unlike evolution, it is not complicated.
Literally spend money to strengthen.
According to what I checked so far, the phrase that it is possible for items and my undead came out.
‘But that gold is the problem.’
At first, I didn’t know how much 1 gram of gold was.
It happened because of a lack of common sense about gold.
However, when I tried to buy gold to try to strengthen it, I knew roughly how much it was.
‘The price of gold here is roughly 100,000 won per gram.’
It was said that the cost to strengthen Galaksur once was 24 million Will.
24 million will was the same as my one year tuition.
‘Crazy.’
Of course, the strengthening cost was different depending on the item.
Galaksur was a named-level item, so it felt particularly expensive, and my undead ones were a little cheaper.
As a test, when I strengthened Nickel once, the phrase +1 was attached to Nickel’s description window, and the phrase that the stat increased came to mind. Along with that, it was confirmed that the cost of reinforcement also increased by a small amount.
‘The funny thing is that there is not only success in reinforcement, but also failure, so gold can evaporate as it is.’
I don’t know where else I learned this bad habit.
How good is it to just succeed?
In any case, the newly acquired traits gave him a reason to earn more money.
They say money makes you stronger, but you can’t help but use it.
There’s already quite a bit of money coming in through patents, so I won’t give up on making potions in the future.
For me now, the only corner to make money was the potion patent.
‘Good. After all, while researching the cure for Lucia, her talent has evolved to a gifted level.’
Looking back now, I could see that the decision to create a cure for Lucia worked to my advantage. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have thought of making potions and would have had to live like a beggar.
When I thought of Lucia’s cure, my gaze naturally turned to the refrigeration tool.
‘It would be nice if I could succeed at once with this one.’
The probability I calculated is over 90%.
In the first place, that level of probability was expected, so I tried it.
Perhaps Lucia doesn’t show it, but she’s probably trembling inside.
‘There was never a mistake. Everything went in as I had calculated, and the time was within the margin of error.’
But why?
When I thought I had made a cure, I felt relieved and drowsiness began to set in.
I haven’t checked the results yet, but my eyes are closed.
It’s true that I’ve been running without a break lately, so I was exhausted.
From before entering the Tower of Modras to after leaving, he never took a break.
‘Shall we sleep for a bit?’
I slowly closed my eyes in a corner of the study room before I knew it.

“Lucia?”
The street left Adrias alone.
Suddenly, Lucia, who was walking well, showed tears.
Diene Alven looked bewildered and called out Lucia’s name.
“Oh sorry. Suddenly, without even realizing it, this is it.”
Lucia tried to wipe away her tears with her sleeve.
In the meantime, her emotional state was unstable as much as she had suffered severely.
Diene, who learned about Lucia’s story through this production, slowly embraced Lucia, who was wiping her tears with trembling hands.
“great job. Was it hard?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Lucia smiled brightly and said as she got out of Diene’s arms.
“On our way back, let’s buy Adrias-senpai too!”
“Okay then.”
She said it was okay, but Lucia couldn’t hide her feelings the entire time she went to Alven Street. Thanks to that, she couldn’t achieve her goal of filling her stomach, so Diene bought something to eat and told Lucia.
“If possible, wouldn’t it be better to eat together in the lab?”
“yes! I do.”
After simply buying snacks and snacks, the two returned again.
And when they returned to the lab, they found Adrias sleeping against one side of the wall.
Is it because it looks so unexpected?
Diene and Lucia just stared at Adrias, who had fallen asleep at the entrance.
“Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Adrias-senpai take a break.”
Diene also searched for memories at Lucia’s soft words.
from what moment
It seems that Adrias has never wasted time since he started exercising at dawn.
When I thought of him reading a book even while the train was moving, my feelings became complicated.
‘Since when? How the hell have you been?’
Just thinking about his actions that I had passed without thinking about it made me feel sick. In the meantime, it just passed by like a passing scenery, but when I thought about his actions, it was a tremendous forced march that made my stomach ache.
At that time, Lucia approached the sleeping Adrias with a hurried stride and crouched down.
Seeing him staring intently at his sleeping figure, Diene let out a mischievous laugh.
“what are you doing?”
“It is a precious figure. If you don’t watch it now, you may never see it again. If you don’t see Diene-senpai right now, you won’t be able to see it anymore?”
For some reason, Lucia’s words were transmitted to Diene with strange persuasiveness.
In the end, Diene unknowingly went to Lucia’s side and looked at Adrias’ sleeping face.
‘There are scars.’
Traces of a slight cut were left on the cheek.
When did the wound occur? Could it be that it happened in a tournament?
While creating such a strange picture, Adrias’ eyes suddenly opened.
“ah.”
Lucia opened her mouth involuntarily, and Diene jumped up in amazement.
“What are you doing?”
An awkward atmosphere pervaded the laboratory.
Diene looked bewildered and took out the food she had bought as if nothing had happened, but Lucia was still crouching, examining Adrias’ face.
“Your senior looks like an angel sleeping too.”
“So you’re saying you’re usually a devil?”
“It’s not like that, but honestly, wouldn’t it be more like a devil than an angel?”
“done. What am I talking to you about?”
After clearing her throat between the two, Diene hung up.
“Eat what you bought. I purposely brought it to eat with you.”
“yes! Seniors!”
Lucia immediately got up from her seat and smiled.
Seeing that, Adrias also laughed and got up and started eating.

As a result, the cure was safely produced.
Lucia didn’t realize it, but on the contrary, she seemed calmer than me and Diene.
I delayed taking the medicine, but I needed to prepare before taking the medicine.
Treatment did not end in an instant by taking a cure.
It may progress over several days and may be accompanied by great pain during that time.
‘So I asked the academy for their understanding and decided to go back to my parents’ house for a while.’
The treatment will probably be taken at the home.
In a few days, he will probably return to the academy in good shape.
The fact that he made a cure was also known to Lucia’s family.
Thanks to this, Viscount Hollington wanted to pay homage, so he said he would visit the academy himself, but he politely declined and decided to meet Lucia after he got better.
Now I need to take some time for myself.
“Did you wait long?”
The magic circles that filled the private laboratory were connected to the floor, walls, and ceiling. And in the middle of that magic circle, the body of Mirinae, the former Fairy Queen, was placed.
I got it last fall, so it’s been over half a year.
Compared to that time, my magic skills as well as everything in general have grown.
[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ squirms.]
When I tried to activate the magic circle, original sin reacted.
Those emotions were read, but it seems that my idea was interesting.
“When are you going to spit out the crown?”
I didn’t expect it, but as expected, there was no answer.
Anyway, I wanted this summoning of the undead to work properly as much as I put a lot of effort into it.
‘This may also have a great influence on what I learned from Charon.’
Charon experimented with unusual undead, such as zombie skeletons and chimera zombies. It was no exaggeration to say that the current summoning of the undead was also inspired by it.
I touched the magic circle and blew mana into it.
At the same time, he used the Banshee Summon he learned from Morne’s Black Magic.
For reference, the magic circle is a magic circle that implements Kyler’s shadow magic.
‘Is it okay?’
Mirinae’s corpse was shaken.
And soon, the shadows from the magic circle began to swallow Mirinae.
‘Now, the episode related to Karon has to be resolved by beating the head. Power reinforcement is essential.’
To be honest, I thought that Mirinae alone was not enough, so I had a plan in place during this vacation. Mi-nae was really looking at the basics, but I was hoping that the basics would succeed.
Blasphemy!
A cracking sound came from the shadows that covered the Milky Way.
‘Is it a failure?’
At first glance, the sound was not very good.
However, an unexpected notice appeared.
[The energy of ‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ is added.]
The energy of original sin began to bloom in my magical power.
Parruk.
Whoa!
As the robe fluttered, dark but pure energy burst out and swayed the laboratory.
“I didn’t expect this.”
The swirling aura of original sin began to affect banshee summoning magic as well as the magic circle.
Quadduk. Kwajik.
Wooded Deuk.
[Intermediate Synthesis Necromancer: Banshee Summon (Shadow Magic) Success]
[Summoned a Shadow Banshee (Legend).]
[The level of the summoned ghost is excellent. A stat bonus is added.]
[The level of the summoned ghost is far superior. Tiers go up. It becomes a Shadow Fairy Banshee.]
[The level of the summoned ghost is close to Transcendence. I get a little bit of my self from when I was alive.]
As if a new life was born from the disappearing magic circle, the lofty figure of the Fairy Queen appeared.
“Prepare.”
When I called her name, Mirinae, a shadow banshee that sprinkled black light, looked at me with her eyes open.
