Chapter 341 Creating A Powerful Magic Jewel

-----

I quickly connected my Magic Circle with the Mana of Erika and her father, asking for their Affinities to enchant the Magic Circle to its pinnacle of power. It was so strong that I wasn't able to bear with its complete power on its totality, but with the assistance of two magicians with the affinity for Illusion Attribute, it was working! With that done, the magic circle quickly unleashed a wave of pink and purple essence, pure Illusion Attribute Essence, flowing into the Magic Cauldron and enchanting the synthetized items together.

"This better work…! Synthesis!"

I once more used Synthesis, adding all the MP I had into it.

FLAAAASH!

A bright white light came from within the Magic Cauldron, blinding us all for a few seconds.

When things finally ended, I slowly stood up, looking inside the magic cauldron, a bright red colored jewel was floating over the liquefied magical essence within it.

As I held the item, a smile rose in my face.

[Loki's Draconic Crimson Heart (B Grade)]

A special red jewel imbued with the power of Blood Element, Spiritual Essence, and Illusion Essence, and infused with the power of several Magic Circles of the Illusion Element. Additionally, because Lesser Wyvern materials were used for its creation, it has gained a Lesser Draconic Essence within itself. The culmination of it all has created a powerful magic jewel which, if imbued in the right item, might awaken incredible magical powers related to Illusion, Blood, and Lesser Dragons.

"Excellent!"

It was better than I had expected, I couldn't contain my excitement so I ended shouting how excellent the item was. Of course, it appears that Erika nor her father are able to see through the information of items like my Grimoire showcases to me. Each time I see a new item, the Grimoire registers it and even with a small drawing of it at the side.

This jewel was better than I could had expected, it seems that adding the Wyvern materials was the right call, as it strengthened its quality to B Grade, which is already an item of tremendous price. This alone could easily cost hundreds of thousands of Telis, if not millions.

Erika's father quickly took a small monocle and suddenly inspected the item. The monocle shone with a bright gold light, generating a small magic circle atop of it. This Item was an Appraisal Monocle, apparently made by a Magician with the Appraisal Skill, they're very rare and often only very rich nobles have one, it seems that this is a lesser version as it can't inspect people's status but only inspect items.

"I-Incredible… It is even imbued with the power of Lesser Draconic Essence, and it is B Grade in quality! …This is truly the work of the Holy Spirits, Blake!" He said. "You've been guided well by them, I suppose I can't help but believe you now…"

"I am glad you were able to believe me, sir." I said with a smile.

"Woah… this jewel is sparkling…" Erika said, touching it with her finger.

? SPARK!

"Ouch!"

"Erika, don't touch magic items after they emerge from the magic cauldron without special gloves like Blake did." Said her father, reprimanding her.

Special Gloves were often used by Alchemists, often named [Protective Items] which are used by all sorts of crafters and alchemists. These items are essential for [Creators] as items that are recently created often emanate a strong aura of magic which can hurt someone that touch them directly, to ignore this side effect, special items that can protect against Magic Sparks were created. I borrowed some from Erika's father, and later on bought my own.

"Now what do we do with this?" Wondered Erika's father.

"Isn't it obvious? We'll craft a special item with this." I said with a smile. "The necklace I told you about…"

"Oh! Will that also be done through alchemy?!" He asked.

"Of course… But this time, I want this to be divided in two." I said.

"Two?" Her father asked.

"Indeed, the truth is, I also want a necklace for myself, so I made the jewel purposedly big so I could slice it in half." I said. "Also, if two pendants are made from the same jewel, they'll gain a magical connection, this way I can easily check on Erika's state and always know if she's alright… or not."

"I see… That's very convenient." Said her father, rubbing his chin.

"S-So we'll share two halves of the jewel?" Wondered Erika, suddenly blushing. "L-Like in that novel I read about a prince that gave the princess the half of a heart-shaped jewel, so both kept them and made them feel together! When they came closer, their pendants would resonate with one another and…!" Erika continued speaking about romance books she had been reading.

Due to her father's inheritance as a noble, he had tons of expensive books, romance, and fantasy for the most part, which seemed to belong to Erika's mother. She had been learning how to read exclusively to read these stories, and these last years she had been reading them nonstop. Perhaps she's getting weird ideas about marriage from them now that I think about it…

"Erm, not really something like that… But sure." I said, without wanting to throw her off her fantasy that much.

"Yaaay!" She said happily. At least she won't resist in using the item.

After we finished talking, we quickly moved to the easier creation of the necklace, as I threw a chain made of iron, another wyvern scale, demon and wyvern blood, vampire blood from Eleanora and also my own, and then half the jewel, alongside a few other lesser spirit orbs as catalyzers, and then began spamming [Synthesis] for several minutes until the item finally shaped itself together. After one was done, I did the second, and it was over.

Two, almost identical necklaces were lying over the desk, glowing with bright red and purple essence… these were improved versions of my original Loki's Necklace! And to boot, I had turned them into self-growing Cursed Items!

"Incredible… these items are amazing…!" Erika's father couldn't stop praising the "creation of the Holy Spirits".
