"I have been making items for more than two hundred years of my life and in that ti, not in any human academy, not in any dwarven school, not even in so of the greatest institutions of the lower-middle floors, I have ever seen a design such as this one." The dwarven elders complinted KiRA, a stunned expression present on them.
What they were seeing right now was a complex design with all the necessary details that any creator would need for an item that wasn't seen before within the tower.
"It's an ancient technique. Kin of the Dragons the Golden-scaled lizardn were the ones who first thought of fusing items with magic and alchemy to create a hybrid artifact possessing features of both.
Later on, a civilization of higher floors took inspiration from their technique and created the first items made with traditional arts, alchemy, enchantnts, and integrated magic with them.
What we see here is my own interpretation of their technique, sothing I hope you will easily make possible."
First of all, what KiRA presented to them was the work of a master on the sa level as them. Perhaps he was better than them at theoretical understanding of the weapons and items since the way he presented all of the details to them was not sothing a young human child should know.
The highly detailed drawings, the noted explanations and the steps that they needed to take in order to realize this item were still not what impressed them.
They knew if he knew about their ancestor as well as an archmage and possessed their knowledge, this much was possible.
However, the lost techniques of hybrid items and the way he utilised his own understanding for this design was the thing that impressed both the elders.
The fact that he could understand those complex techniques that they could not even imagine to know at his age, the fact that he could implent that knowledge and create an application design so well balanced beca the origin of their admiration at that mont.
"Impressive. Simply impressive."
The Li elder was an enchanter and forger while the other elder was an engineering expert and accessory maker.
Both of them knew how to work with fire and tools, but since they had such complentary expertise, KiRA had high hopes for this item.
"Sadly, I don't think we will have anything strong enough to place as the core as you have ntioned here.
I an, we have quite so materials, but if you want sothing that's flexible, durable, has a long lifespan, with protection, offensive, and supporting abilities, you will need sothing much more than what you can find on the middle floors."
The Li elder nodded at Sir Blaik's words.
They understood what the design was aid after. The item was going to contain magic elents, they would have physical properties of a great weapon, the thing was also supposed to have functions that supported us during battles.
Aside from that, he wanted to make it kind of an all purpose tool.
It wasn't an impossible request but it most certainly was sothing that would require a lot of their resources and attention.
The most important thing among them was going to be the core of the artifact, sothing that needed to be strong enough to handle the functionality of the artifact.
No tal, horn, pearl, or gem could take that position.
It needed to be sothing special, sothing that could also channel all kinds of magical energies and not just Mana or Aura.
He wanted sothing that wasn't a swordsman's sword, magician's wand, or a thief's master key. It was going to be all of the above, or sothing that complinted each other's functionality while possessing all those abilities.
"You don't have to worry about the core." KiRA reassured them as he knew this question would co.
He had sothing in mind, so he walked out of the place and urged them to follow him outside.
He took the two of them to the other side of the lake without saying much and reached the oldest-looking tree of this pocket dinsion.
While most of the things in this place weren't actually real, there were many things that were in fact real and left behind by the creator of this place.
One such thing was one of the branches of this tree, sothing KiRA retrieved with the help of Uni.
"What is that, young one?"
"What do you intend us to do with that twig, boy? Use it as the core?"
The elders did not understand why he retrieved this branch, but KiRA nodded at those ridiculing words.
"That's right."
He poured so of his Holy energy into the twig, and revealed the true form of this branch that wasn't really part of the fake tree.
-Oooooooooooong!
Upon contact with the special energy, the branch that looked nothing more than a simple wooden stick turned pale-ashen silver.
Each and every one of the details of the branch beca more visible, the energy that started exuding from the branch once again stunned the two elders.
They were not seeing any re branches right now... they were looking at sothing that should not have existed in these lower floors.
"Is that...?"
"Really...?"
KiRA smiled at both of their dumbfounded expressions. They were confused just a mont ago, but now that they were seeing the true form of this branch, they were left speechless.
"Yeah. This is a precious branch of an (Ancient Evergreen), sothing that should have originally belonged to one of you.
I know I'm being selfish here, but if you are fine with it, can we use this as the core of the item, please?"
Their ancestors left it for them so that they could make sothing precious with it. It was theirs even though he was originally going to steal it from under their noses.
He was an ethical thief so he was planning to leave a note at the end, but the situation was already far different from what he had predicted.
"Of course!" There was a burning fire within the eyes of the two elders now.
"You found it so it is only natural it belongs to you." The two elders were fired up once again.
Their passion was oozing out of them, making KiRA uncomfortable. But he kept his calm.
"Thank you."
The tree branch wasn't just precious. There shouldn't be many like this in the entire tower.
The tree that they were talking about was one of a kind. There were only three known similarities to it, but even while possessing similar properties, each one of them were different.
This branch right here was also very special.
After a branch of the world tree or fragnt of a Divinity, each and every master around the tower wished to possess this certain category of material at least once in their lifeti.
'Being able to create sothing out of it was an honor few ever received...'
And since they were given this honor, KiRA could tell the results weren't going to be disappointing at the very least.
