Chapter 323: Chapter 323
After a day and a night of sailing at full speed, the Sound of Dawn’s speed finally returned to normal.
Fortunately, the concentration of Magic Power in this area was extremely high. Even after sailing at full speed for a whole day and night, the ship could still absorb the surrounding Magic Power to replenish itself, so Alka and the others didn’t need to worry.
Sailing at full speed for a day and a night was the absolute limit the Sound of Dawn could endure without sustaining damage.
This place should be safe enough.
The scenery over the azure ocean remained unchanged, but luckily, those aboard the ship had long grown accustomed to it. They were even prepared for the possibility of not encountering a single island. If Alka hadn’t discovered the Dream Bubbles of terrestrial creatures in the Dream Realm earlier, they might genuinely not have encountered a single island. That would have been the case following their previous route.
Alka had already gone to his crafting hall early in the morning. He was currently discussing something with Juanlu.
"If possible, can you make a transformable rack? One that can be used for grilling and also as a pot stand?"
Hearing Juanlu’s request, Alka nodded without thinking, "This request is quite simple. No problem."
"This stone can automatically absorb Magic Power. If the surrounding Spells on it are repaired, the absorbed magic should be enough to keep it burning for more than half a day."
"Then let’s add a device to adjust the heat, and preferably make it portable so I can carry the stove with me anytime," Juanlu added after some thought.
Alka pondered for a moment and agreed. Creating it wouldn’t be difficult for him; in fact, it would be quite easy.
Once they had mostly finished their discussion, Juanlu left the crafting hall.
Alka looked at the stone block before him.
Unexpectedly, the first Magic Item he made would be a portable stove.
Ever since acquiring the Hand of Precision, the accompanying Manufacturing Technology, and some of the Engraver’s knowledge, Alka had been researching Lucilia’s shell problem, even modifying Soul-Host Puppets and creating a wooden puppet shell.
Thinking about it, it seemed he had originally embarked on the path of an Artifact Forger and Engraver to create the earliest Soul-Host Puppets.
Fortunately, while crafting the wooden puppet shell, Alka had honed his techniques and skills to a commendable level. As a result, when he turned his attention to creating other Magic Items, it wasn’t difficult at all; on the contrary, it felt exceptionally easy.
Not long after Juanlu left, while Alka was sketching blueprints, Jason ran down, wearing the gloves Alka had given him the previous day.
"Alka, I’m here," he said, taking off the gloves and handing them to Alka.
Alka stopped his work and took the gloves. He had already done some research the previous day and had a rough plan in mind.
After a moment’s thought, he said, "With my current skills and the Spells we possess, I can offer you four options. Think about which ones you’d like to choose."
The four options were:
First, a module using the Coldness Spell Julia comprehended as its core, capable of firing Ice Bullets.
Second, a module using the Cross of Righteous Fire Spell Alka knew from early on as its core, capable of firing Fire Bullets.
Third, a module using the previously acquired Stealth Spell, which can conceal one’s presence, as its core. This would make the fired Magic Bullets harder to detect.
Fourth, a module using the Armor-Piercing Spell acquired from Bobby, which is engraved on bullet tips, as its core. This would give the fired Magic Bullets a piercing effect. Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
"These are the modules I can currently create and guarantee will function properly. Based on the gloves’ configuration, you can only choose two."
Hearing Alka’s options, Jason dragged a nearby stool over, sat down, and furrowed his brow in concentration.
After a long period of thought, he looked intently at Alka and asked, "Can I have them all?"
Hearing this, Alka gave him a deadpan look, "What do you think?"
"Alright..." Jason lapsed into deep thought once more.
The main problem was that all four options Alka presented were incredibly useful. He genuinely didn’t know which two to pick. Each one was overly tempting. He could easily imagine countless scenarios where each type of Magic Bullet would be perfectly suited.
This was understandable, of course. If the modules he could create weren’t useful, Alka wouldn’t have considered them or proposed these options in the first place. Naturally, any idea he presented would have to be both useful and practical.
Seeing Jason’s conflicted expression, Alka thought for a moment and said, "How about I suggest a plan?"
This was a method Alka had thought of earlier.
"What plan?" Jason looked up and asked.
"Choose the ice and fire modules. The Spells used for these two—Coldness and Cross of Righteous Fire—are relatively powerful and high-Difficulty, making them hard to engrave. They’re perfectly suited for integration into the gloves as modules."
"The other two Spells, Stealth and Armor-Piercing, are lower-Level and much easier to engrave. You can use these to enchant bullets directly, allowing them to achieve the effects of Magic Bullets. I can teach you how to do it. We have plenty of time, after all. You might even be able to make some useful ammunition for yourself later on."
"How does that sound?" After sharing his plan, Alka looked at Jason and asked.
Hearing Alka’s suggestion, Jason barely hesitated before striking his fist against his palm.
