FAULT ; ARTIFACT chapter 51
"And how do you imagine that? She was on the raid, so she should rightfully get something."“Only what dropped in the raid. You didn’t tell her about the scimitar?”"Not. She just came and asked for your contact. She doesn't know what happened.""That is great. So say it's nothing."“So she can see from the logs! Everything that fell from the boss is written in the general chat of the group. And if we refuse, then she will turn to a higher authority and present the chat recordings as evidence. And when they see that there was a scimitar, but it did not pass through the corporation, they will already ask specific questions to me, and then to you. We'll be lucky if we get off with fines and several years in prison.""Don't be afraid, Alex. She will not see anything in her logs, because before killing the boss, I left the group, ”I said.There was silence for a few moments.“You are smart, Tim. So you left the group?“Well, I thought everyone was dead. And looking at the dark nicknames o

I thought. On the one hand, eight hundred credits is not enough, but on the other hand, it’s just killing castars, all the more I don’t lose anything, I just need to kill them.- A thousand credits and the whole drop goes to me.He hesitated for a moment, but waved his hand and said:- I agree.- That's great, now I'll throw the bill.- Instead of credits, will you take zen? Ten thousand. You can easily exchange with corporations for the same thousand.“Okay,” I agreed.Perhaps it’s even better this way: I don’t have to explain where a thousand loans were transferred to my account from, and whether I sold something on the side, bypassing corporations.I threw a request to enter the group, the guy immediately accepted and handed me the leadership. A small inscription "Galldin" appeared in the corner.- Interesting name.- It was my online nickname, but I liked it so much that I replaced my name with it. So now, in all documents and databases, I am Galldin.- Why didn't you like your na

- All right, it's the past.We are sitting on a fallen tree at the edge of the forest. Ahead is a huge field, on which castars grow at a short distance from each other. The bright sun hung in the middle of the sky, and it seems that the "flowers" of the castars instinctively, like sunflowers, turned to him, opening their mouths, as if wanting either to devour the rays they send, or the sun itself.- I hope now you understand how dangerous this world is?“Yes, quite,” he assured me.- Well, since you understand everything, then do not break into trouble. Sometimes it's better to run away.“And you still need to find loyal and strong comrades like you,” he suddenly said.I chuckled.- Yes, it will be easier and more profitable with friends. But don't count on me, I play solo.- That's how? It's a pity. Tim, you are very strong. I managed to see strong fighters, but I meet a magician for the first time. And I will say for sure that of those that I have seen, you are the strongest. Perhap

- That's it, continue for another twenty minutes, - looking over his shoulder, said Alast.“Yes, teacher,” I replied humbly, but mentally grimaced.On the one hand, it seems that I am wasting my time instead of farming mobs, but on the other hand, in games, crafting is almost always more profitable than simple farming. However, it’s the same in life - it’s easier to carry bags of coal than to write programs and design aircraft, but it’s clear that an engineer or programmer earns more than a loader.Finally, after half an hour, only a small fine powder, similar to flour, remained.- Excellent. Now onto the scales. We need ten grams of powder and twenty grams of slime residue.I took a small spoon, scooped up “flour”, suddenly an inscription appeared above it: “22 grams of powder from the castar stem” .I raised my eyebrows in surprise.“We won’t need scales,” I said, shaking the spoon a little, dropping extra grams.As soon as it was ten, I turned to Alast.- Here's ten grams.The alch

- And where is your friend now? I asked cautiously.- Over the ridges, in the outside world. Now we are cut off from it by goblins, so the only communication is either through magic crystals, or, when they are not available, like this - through mail karshans.Interesting. It turns out that there are faults in the outside world. That is, theoretically there are tunnellers who came out of them and now calmly walk around the outside world? Be that as it may, the presence of faults that are beyond the control of corporations is a very interesting thing.- And where did he find this gap? I asked.“Hmm… I’ll show you now,” he said.The alchemist moved to the back of the room, where there was a bookcase. Alast returned with a large bundle. It turned out to be a map depicting some country. I took a closer look, one of the areas is similar to the one in which we are.The area of the Kingdom of Santonia has been discovered.It's that simple. It is enough to see the map and the "fog of war" th

Advanced Alchemy.From these words, I felt my back covered with sweat, but I restrained myself and did not let fear show on my face, remaining outwardly calm."I haven't found out yet who might have it," I said.Eugene looked at me for a few moments, causing my forehead to sweat, but due to the fact that the room is dim, my condition is not visible.“Something tells me you haven’t really looked for it.- Of course, I didn't look specifically. I follow rumors, but doing this is like looking for a person in an unfamiliar residential complex, not knowing his name and appearance. If there were clues, then I would somehow be able to move forward in this matter, and walking around and asking everyone: “Do you have an artifact” is a waste of time."Yes, I agree," Yuuji said after a short pause. “Still, Tim, I don’t trust you. You are clearly hiding something from me. Those four and a half thousand that you earned, exactly all that you took out of the rift?“Yes,” I lied without batting an ey

I wonder if they will work in our world? Because if so, then improving the properties of materials using alchemical means is a breakthrough, as well as a big profit. I really should have gone straight to alchemy, though... given that the training costs a decent amount and the ingredients are not that easy to get, I probably did the right thing by focusing on leveling and getting the initial funds first, and only after that deciding to take up one of the crafts.“As you can see, alchemy is needed for many things in the world, just like magic. Has your head been spinning yet? he asked, smiling.“Yes, to be honest, I went,” I admitted. - I have a question. How to determine which ingredient is suitable for which potion. For example, which ingredient is suitable for a fire magic protection potion, and which, for example, enhances your fire magic?- Oh, it's simple. All alteration potions are made with a primary or two primary ingredients and a secondary. For example, salamander blood. It c

- That is, potentially strong warriors have more resistance to poisons and other potions of destruction?- Right. So where to start? You can make a potion that turns into mist, and oil, and even a powerful acid.With these words, he took out various jars with liquids, powders and other things from the magical space.At that moment, a bell rang. Alast frowned and looked out the window.- Wait a bit, I have a client.- Of course, teacher.He quickly left, leaving me with the ingredients. As soon as I looked at the substance in front of me, an inscription appeared, what it is, but without any explanation. Here and the drool of some monsters, and dry herbs, and even charcoal.My eyes fell on a jar of dry, powdered salamander blood. Slightly reddish, like spices, it beckons my eye, but its properties are unknown. If I remember correctly, Alast was talking about a book with ingredients. I wonder if there is information about the blood of a salamander in it?I looked out the window. Alast co
