Energy Storage Rune, Elemental Conversion, Functional Rune, Trigger Sensing Device…
Magic Array Engraving, Mana-Element Resonance, interconnected with each other…
Connection, access, infusion of Magic Power, and finally, the Spell Circuit closes…
Wait for ten seconds…
No combustion, Magic Power reaction is normal.
Engraving, successful.
Krexia gazed at the magic scroll before her, which she had spent a whole hour crafting, her heart surging with excitement and exhilaration.
Oh, yes, I’ve become a Magus!
This was a single-use magic scroll engraved with a Fourth-Tier Defensive Magic—at a critical moment, it could be used as a lifesaving blade without any issue.
As long as the opponent didn’t open with a direct Fifth-Tier or even Sixth-Tier assault magic, there was still a chance of survival.
Getting instantly killed by an assassin with a knife to the face was now highly unlikely.
What happened last time, anyway?
Which Mage carries a magic scroll at home, anyway?
Of course, after experiencing something like that, regardless of what other Mages thought, she decided she would carry such lifesaving items with her at all times.
Even sleeping with it under her pillow.
Another important point was that she had found the balance in crafting magic scrolls—if she continued making them, the success rate would increase significantly!
And thinking about the market price of such things…
Tsk tsk tsk, with this, even if she reached an internal area dominated by commercial cities, there would be no need to worry about running out of money.
At that point, she could just buy some raw materials, make a few magic scrolls, toss them on the market, and let the gold coins flow in.
Not only was the safety factor high, but it was also a quick way to earn money.
“This body is truly convenient.”
After stowing away the magic scroll, Krexia stretched, her curves fully displayed, though unfortunately, there was no one in this space to appreciate such beauty.
She felt this way because of the inherent nature of magic scrolls—they were fragile and couldn’t condense Magic Power through the activation of an Energy Storage Rune, requiring manual pre-charging to function as Magical Items.
There was a step where a sufficient amount of Magic Power needed to be infused into the scroll to activate the magic.
How did other Enchanters do this during production?
By first using Spirituality to condense an Energy Storage Rune outside the scroll, then establishing a Supply Channel between it and the Energy Storage Rune inscribed on the scroll.
Then… slowly channel the condensed Magic Power inside.
However, the amount of Magic Power possessed by human Mages was extremely limited, so they could only rely on Spirituality to construct Magic Runes for the infusion.
This charging process typically lasted anywhere from half an hour to an hour, during which the supply of Magic Power needed to be steady, or else the scroll risked burning out.
But Krexia was different. With her abundant internal Magic Power, she didn’t need such a roundabout and complex method. She could directly connect with the Rune and pour Magic Power in.
The time required was greatly reduced—two minutes was all it took.
This was what you called an innate advantage.
“Ah, I feel like one of those Alchemists or Artifact Forgers from cultivation novels.”
Looking at the gunblade and a pile of Magic Materials on the table, she couldn’t help but sigh.
She took out two Third-Tier Magic Crystals from her ring and popped them into her mouth, chewing lightly and swallowing.
The depletion of Magic Power from several failed engravings earlier was quickly restored.
Next, she took out the last set of materials for a magic scroll and began engraving.
Forty minutes later, the engraving succeeded again.
Another high-quality magic scroll appeared in her hand.
This time, she tried a defensive magic of a different elemental attribute.
The engraving method remained the same, following her previous experience, and she succeeded in one try.
Pulling aside the curtains, she glanced out the window.
The sun was already nearing the horizon.
Unknowingly, four hours had passed since she began attempting magic scroll engraving to finally succeeding.
By now, the mercenaries who had gone out for commission tasks should also be returning.
Thinking this, she glanced at the tavern diagonally across from the inn.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the tavern seemed less lively, and the street was not as crowded as the night before.
Krexia frowned, considering the possibilities.
At this time…
She decided to wait a bit longer, then visit the Adventurer Association later to inquire.
There were still several Magical Items she needed to make, so she would finish her work first.
She drew the curtains again. The lightwax continued to shine dutifully, illuminating the entire room brightly.
She took a fine-tipped ink pen and paper from the desk, then began sketching the designs in her mind.
About five minutes later, a Design Blueprint for a Magical Item with a simple yet intricate structure appeared on the paper.
Its shape resembled a soda can, while the internal structure was even simpler.
From the annotated Runes, only three types of Magic Runes were used.
Energy Storage, Elemental Conversion, and Release.
That’s all.
The internal construction didn’t even include a Magic Circle—just three simple Magic Runes and a straightforward yet highly efficient Spell Circuit.
The design made it look like an apparatus created solely to release energy.
However, in the blueprint, the complete Spell Circuit inside the Magical Item was blocked by a small piece of Magic Material that had a partitioning effect on Magic Power.
The Supply Channel from the Energy Storage Rune, used as a power source, was cut off.
As a bystander observing the entire process, Coutia immediately recognized the prototype of this Magical Item.
“A hand grenade?”
“Yes.”
Coutia could access all her memories and knowledge, including browsing history, so it wasn’t strange that she knew what this was.
She had long since become accustomed to such things.
This person had also become more and more devious after reading through her memories.
“Tsk tsk tsk… I have to say, your integration of knowledge from two worlds is quite impressive.”
“By deliberately refining the quality of the Elemental Conversion rune and increasing the number of Energy Storage Runes, you boost Magic Power and extend the Elemental Conversion time, thereby greatly increasing power while achieving a delayed fuse effect?”
“As expected of you.”
“With someone like you in the Imperial Magician Circle of the Radiant Feather Empire, it’s a real stroke of luck.”
What Coutia said wasn’t wrong.
This design was indeed very simple, but for some reason, Krexia had never seen a Magical Item like it on the Mage market.
Perhaps people just didn’t respect the art of [Engraving] enough—they all focused too much on developing magic itself.
She picked her preferred Magic Materials from the pile, took up an inscription knife, and began crafting according to the blueprint.
She now had a means for self-defense.
All that was left was to create something capable of powerful attacks even when Magic Power was low.
A hand grenade was undoubtedly the best among her many ideas.
