Chapter D015 – Became Dalmagna’s Assistant

[Rosenweil Capital City]

As soon as she appeared in the Town Square, Hecate went to the liquor shop first.

Surely, it would be inappropriate to visit her mentor empty-handed. So she had to prepare something that Dalmagna liked as a gift, in this case of course beer and wine.

In the shop, Hecate didn't stay for too long, as she simply chose something randomly from the shelf.

"This one seems nice."

Usually, she would just buy a cheap beer for <img /-oa4oidsG1lE/YPCSFRG9BDI/AAAAAAAAAL4/nS7NmHH4-LQruDuWgUtKzzbXF0BQJa1-QCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Dumbledore-Coin.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" />1 and call it done. After all, she was not a drinker and couldn't appreciate the taste of beer. Heck, she didn't even know the difference between beer and wine.

But this time, she didn't plan to buy the cheap beer, and instead chose the slightly pricier one on the shelf.

Spoiler Item Name: Vargr Blood Cocktail Type: Consumable - Drink Rarity: Durability: 20/20 Brewer: Kaina Effects: Increase Max HP by 20% for 300 minutes.

Drunkenness +30 Description: A 750ml dark red cocktail containing wolf blood. It has an unforgettable taste like the ferocity of the legendary wolf. This cocktail is very potent and can make your throat burn.

Be careful if you want to drink it.

[collapse]

Hecate took the bottle and went to the store clerk, which was a Native middle aged uncle.

"Mister, I want to buy 10 bottles of this." (Hecate)

"Oh, it's you, little girl... That one is quite expensive, you know? Ten of them total <img /img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDQev-PBiOZDQ0RTHWY9nBfIz74bepUowMaovHqGZy1JoRmFV2ZrwWi-ydA-id9r99eEeB_8oRdNMmM8hYACgm8jzbWrc6zfs8NABN7qM_5aee4w9D5gi4Wfeus59iBOE3IkfYy4FTGsDYwMOiBlaaRU-YGdFeMFn26qdkywKGhfZwRVEPDY8j9e7L/s120/coin_1fa99.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" /> 250,000." (Clerk uncle)

Well, the price was unexpectedly higher than expected.

Compared to the usual cheap beer that costs <img /-oa4oidsG1lE/YPCSFRG9BDI/AAAAAAAAAL4/nS7NmHH4-LQruDuWgUtKzzbXF0BQJa1-QCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Dumbledore-Coin.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" />1 per bottle, this one bottle costs <img /img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDQev-PBiOZDQ0RTHWY9nBfIz74bepUowMaovHqGZy1JoRmFV2ZrwWi-ydA-id9r99eEeB_8oRdNMmM8hYACgm8jzbWrc6zfs8NABN7qM_5aee4w9D5gi4Wfeus59iBOE3IkfYy4FTGsDYwMOiBlaaRU-YGdFeMFn26qdkywKGhfZwRVEPDY8j9e7L/s120/coin_1fa99.png" alt="" width="16" height="16" />25,000, almost double the price of her soon-to-be-built dream house in the real world.

Looking at the effects that will occur when drinking it, most likely, the ingredients for making this cocktail come from elite monsters. In that case, it was normal for the price to be expensive.

But still, this price was still nothing for Hecate.

"Okay, here is the money." (Hecate)

"Thank you for the purchase! Wait for a moment, I'll get the rest!" (Clerk uncle)

Done with the purchase, she headed straight to Dalmagna's workshop.

[Dalmagna Blacksmith]

As she expected, Dalmagna stared at the cocktail bottle with a glint in his eyes.

"Oooh! Is this the rumored Vargr Blood Cocktail I saw? I heard it's so difficult to brew this stuff that nowadays, only Players can brew it." (Dalmagna)

"Yes, but unfortunately I only managed to get you one bottle." (Hecate)

Even though she actually bought 10 bottles, she only give him one bottle.

As for why she didn't give all the bottles, of course it was because the remaining bottles had to be kept for personal use.

"It's okay! Even if I just take a sip, I'm already satisfied! Quick, give it to me!" (Dalmagna)

With that said, Hecate gave the bottle to Dalmagna.

He immediately opened the cocktail bottle and drank a few gulps of its contents. At that moment, a hot burning sensation spread throughout his body starting from his lungs, causing his face to turn red.

"Puhaaa~ What a good stuff!"

And so Dalmagna said with a satisfied face. He didn't drink his cocktail any further and just enjoyed the aftertaste.

Dalmagna greatly appreciated the gift you gave him. Dalmagna's favorability to you has increased by 30.

Seeing the huge increase in favorability points in the notification, Hecate knew that Dalmagna was very happy.

Although she didn't understand what was so good about that cocktail. Seeing his red face, he seemed to be in constant pain but still looked happy. Maybe this can be compared as the relationship between smokers and cigarettes.

"Umm, yes... I learned this skill at the Magic Academy where you sent me to." (Hecate)

"Good! So, tell me everything you experienced there." (Dalmagna)

It wasn't strange that Dalmagna knew about Basic Mana Cultivation, since it seemed like he had some connection with the principal of Soltreus Magic Academy. Dalmagna himself did not use this skill because his race was not Human, but he had definitely seen many people who used it.

Hecate summarized what she did there, but of course not everything she said was the truth.

She used the interface to show the same information she reported to the Genesis Guild and presented it in front of Dalmagna, except without the Blacksmith relic which was complete nonsense.

In front of her, Dalmagna listened carefully to the story Hecate told him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good! By now you should have learned about the Artificer's main skill, Engrave Glyph, right?" (Dalmagna)

"Yes, that's right." (Hecate)

Originally, to learn this skill you had to get the Artificer Subclass, but when I looked at your Mysticallurgy, I checked and found there was an Impart option in my skill window. But unfortunately, none of my Artificer skills are Lv10, so I can't Impart them to you." (Dalmagna)

Dalmagna paused for a bit and sighed.

That skill was truly overpowered, allowing this loli student of his to learn another Subclasses skills without having to waste a Subclass slot. It was just that his skills are lacking that he can't Impart anything further.

If people want to Impart a skill to other people, there are two requirements that need to be fulfilled.

Firstly, the people who got imparted has the Subclass of the imparted skill. And secondly, the people who imparted the skill has mastered the said skill, in other words the said skill had to be Lv10.

A successful skill impartment will cause the people who got imparted to learn the said skill at Lv1.

By the way, only Subclass skill can be imparted.

"I understand... So that's why you sent me to Solstreus Magic Academy, so I can learn the basic there." (Hecate)

Dalmagna nodded, affirming Hecate's words.

"Correct! Now that you have learned the skill, why don't you help me with my work for a while? This will also improve your proficiency as well." (Dalmagna)

"...Okay." (Hecate)

The work that Dalmagna refers to, seems to be about those scattered items.

There are many ways to increase Proficiency points of a Subclass skill besides of using it continuously. One way is to be tutored by someone with a higher skill level or witness how they perform the skill and understand it.

Becoming Dalmagna's assistant was the same as getting free tutoring, she doesn't have any reason to refuse.

"Very good! It's such a coincidence that you're here now. At first I had Shuna help me with my work, but I don't know what happened to her, she hasn't visited me since two days ago." (Dalmagna)

Hearing Hecate's confirmation, Dalmagna smiled in a good mood. He patted her head with his calloused hand, causing her hair to become messy.

Hecate just kept quiet and let Dalmagna ruffle her hair as he wished.

The reason why Shuna hadn't visited him recently was undoubtedly because of her nonsense reports about the Blacksmith relic. Perhaps initially, this free tutoring was intended for Shuna, as she was Dalmagna's main disciple whom he had specially trained to inherit his Dwarven skills.

Thinking about this, she didn't dare look at Dalmagna in the eye.
