251話 神の戯れに微笑む錬金術士
『さっきはごめんな。俺の注意不足だった』
『いや、俺らの方こそ実力不足だったからな』
へと謝りのメッセージを送り、これでキルされてしまったメンバー全員への謝罪は終わった。
みんなは口を揃えて『実力不足』と言っていたが、『
ミナやリリィさん、それに夕輝や晃夜がキルされたのは、俺の警戒心の低さと準備不足が招いた結果だ。もちろん初めてのフィールドだったわけで、探索には危険はつきものだし予測なんて神でもなければできない。
「しかし、すくなくとも錬金術士として有事の際は奥の手というものをとっておくべきなのに......」
自責の念に駆られつつも、俺は領地の研究所へ帰還する。
NPC研究員たちはLv4へと上昇していたので、みんなを褒めておく。そしてステータスボードでポイントを振っていく。
【種族】人間 ♀ 【名】コロン
【年齢】23歳
種族:人間の一般NPCだとステータスポイントは30ずつもらえるので、そこも知力に全ぶっぱ。
どうやら錬金術を繰り返し行う事で、習熟度が溜まりLv3へと上昇していた。そこにスキルポイントを費やし、Lv5へとさらにアップさせる。
【種族】人間 ♂ 【名】スラッシュ
【年齢】25歳
【知力】18 → 78
こちらも同様だ。
唯一違うのは、種族が違うピリオドだ。彼女はLvアップする毎にスキルポイントを2ずつ取得できるため錬金術の強化も早い。その反面、ステータスポイントは20しかもらえないっぽい。
【年齢】13歳
【知力】30 → 70
【スキルLv】錬金術Lv3 → Lv7
種族間の性能差が大きいな......。
人間であるコロンとスラッシュは知力の上昇が大きいので手堅く錬金術を成功させる分、アビリティ習得が遅い。対してピリオドは知力の上昇が低いがアビリティ習得は早い。
アビリティ『合成』を覚えるのは錬金術Lv10からなので、3人には早くできるようになって欲しいものだ。彼ら、彼女らのおかげで『
ポーション増産計画を念頭に今後のNPC育成方針を練っていると、急にログが流れた。
:NPCに知を広める者として特別な【自然称号】を獲得しました:
俺はすぐさま内容を確認する。
【自然称号】付け替え不可。常時発動型
ステータスポイントを『知力』にふる際、知力ステータスの上昇率が2倍になる
【取得条件】
知力ステータス300以上・自身の支配下にあるNPCの知力を100以上アップさせる
自然称号......通常、称号というのは1つしか付けられず、それを状況に応じて切り替えて活用する。義妹のエルと同じように、俺も外せない常時発動型の称号がついたってわけか。
「俺の場合はいい効果でよかった......」
「それにしても知力の上昇率が2倍って、チート感......」
そこで俺はまだLv8からLv10になった恩恵、ステータスポイントを振っていないことに気付く。
ちょうどよかったのですぐに200ポイント分、ステータスを強化してゆく。
傭兵タロ Lv8→Lv10のステータス変化
HP101 → 131
MP90→110 (装備による補正+150) = 260
防御2
魔防8
素早さ240 → 310
知力345 → +(80×2) → 505
大幅なアップだ。
ついでにスキルポイントも63と大量にたまっている。
そろそろ使いどころを熟考して自己強化にあてないと。
の所長になっている身であるため、みんなに錬金術の先達であると示すにも力を入れなければ。
そう思い立ち、俺は錬金術へスキルポイントを振っていく。
:錬金術Lv33 → Lv37にレベルアップ:
:『愚者と賢者は紙一重』を習得しました:
ほう......。
『愚者と賢者は紙一重』
【『合成』時、MPを10使用することで発動可能。失敗率を高め、『失敗素材』や『堕落アイテム』を生成できる。ただし、魔導錬金時は発動できない】
これは......『上位変換』などは失敗してもそのまま失敗素材として物が残ることはあった。しかし『合成』は失敗すると素材は消えてしまう。ここにきて失敗も素材化・アイテム化できる可能性が見えたのは素晴らしい。
』タイプキューブですぐに合成を可能とする魔導錬金時は使用ができないって点か。じっくりやる時しか発動できない仕様はいかにも錬金術っぽい。
:錬金術Lv37 → 錬金術Lv42にレベルアップ:
【黄金錬成の秘術。潜在能力のある素材を、MP20消費で3段階まで上位変換できる。成功率は知識の高さに依存する。潜在能力を秘めてない場合は、素材となったアイテムは失われる。鉱石系との相性が良く、不純物を取り除く作業にも適している】

「ついに黄金だと......やばいのが来た......」
何がヤバいってこれは大幅な素材消費の削減に繋がるアビリティなのだ。
例えば『水』だ。
ストレージから『水』を取り出す。
そう呟きながらアビリティを発動すれば瓶は消失し、手の平の上を水玉が浮遊し出す。
特にやることはない。
ただ発動するだけだったが、『水』はみるみるうちに沸騰し始め、透明度が明らかに高い物へと変貌していった。
:『水』→『上質な水』→『旬水』→『純水』への上位変換に成功しました:
これは、やばい。
本来であるならば上位変換をするのに各素材が10個は必要となる。
『水』×10を上位変換して、成功すると『上質な水』×1が生成できるのだ。
つまり、『水』が1000個ないと『純水』は作れない。
「しかもこの『純水』......正規ポーションの素材でもあるんだよな」
錬金術を使っている他の
『水』を1000個も集めたのかと思うと、彼らの努力は称賛に値する。

俺は錬金術の次に、魔導錬金へとスキルポイントを振って強化を始める。

あまりにも不穏すぎる単語に思わず笑みが漏れてしまう。

「このアビリティ、強制的な分裂を意味する」
そして新しい要素は、装備の分解だ。
武器の耐久値を下げるのも『塵化』と同じだが、武器の分解はやばい。おそらく大量のMPを消費するだろうが、これは事実上の武器破壊に等しい。丹精込めて造った珠玉の愛武器が一瞬にして
254 251 Stories Alchemist Smiling At God'S Play
'I'm sorry about earlier. It was my lack of attention. "
"No, we were the ones who lacked strength."
A message of apology was sent to Shaky Night, and this ended the apology to all the members who had been killed.
Everyone kept their mouths together and said 'lack of strength', but the battle against the 'Cold Blooded Wolf (Lycan)' was avoided in the first place. Even at night, I recommended that we run away.
Mina and Lily, and Evening Fai and Shaking Night were killed as a result of my low vigilance and lack of preparation. Of course, it was my first field, and I can't do it unless I'm a god and dangerous to explore.
"But I should have kept my wife's hand when I was an alchemist at the very least..."
Driven by self-responsibility, I'm returning to the Institute of Territorial Studies.
The NPC Fellows were rising to Lv4, so I'll compliment everyone. And he swings the point on the status board.
[Race] Human  [First Name] Cologne
[Age] 23 years old
Race: Human General NPC gets 30 status points at a time, so it's all about intelligence there too.
Apparently, by repeating the alchemy, proficiency had accumulated and increased to LV3. Spend Skill Points there to get more up to LV5.
[Race] Human  [Name] Slash
[Age] 25 years old
[Intelligence] 18 78
Same here.
The only difference is that the race is a different period. She also enhances her alchemy quickly because she can earn two skill points for each LV up. On the other hand, it sounds like you only get 20 status points.
[Age] 13 years old
[Intelligence] 30 70
[Skill Lv] Alchemy Lv3 Lv7
That's a huge performance difference between races......
Being human, Cologne and Slash are slow to acquire abilities for a strong and successful alchemy because of their huge rise in intelligence. Periods, by contrast, have a low rise in intelligence but are quick to acquire abilities.
It's from Alchemy LV10 that I remember the ability 'Synthesis', so I want the three of us to be able to do it fast. Thanks to them, the ingredients for "Emerald Tears" are gathering quite a bit.
As we worked out our future NPC development policy with potion production plans in mind, the log suddenly flowed.
: We have earned a special [Natural Title] as one who spreads knowledge to NPC:
I'll check the contents immediately.
[Natural title] Not replaceable. constantly activated
Double the rate of increase in Intelligence status when switching status points to 'Intelligence'
Acquisition Conditions
Intelligence Status 300 + * Increases the Intelligence of NPCs under your control by 100 +
Natural titles... Typically, there can only be one title, which is switched and utilized according to the circumstances. Like my sister-in-law, Elle, you're saying I've got a constantly activated title that I can't take off, too?
"I'm glad it worked in my case..."
"Nevertheless, the rate of increase in intelligence is twice as cheesy..."
So I realize I haven't shaken my status point yet, a boon that went from Lv8 to Lv10.
It was just fine, so I immediately strengthened my status for 200 points.
Mercenary Talo Lv8 Lv10 Status Changes
HP 101 131
MP90 110 (Correction by Equipment + 150) = 260
Defense 2
Magic Defense 8
Fastness 240 310
Intelligence 345 + (80x2) 505
That's a lot of ups.
Finally, he also accumulates a large number of skill points of 63.
It's time to reflect on where we use it and strengthen ourselves.
My point is alchemy. Since he is now the director of the laboratory (lab), we must also invest in showing everyone that he is a leader in alchemy.
That's what I think, and I'm waving my skill points to Alchemy.
: Alchemy Lv33 Level Up to Lv37:
: I mastered 'Fools and Wise Men Are Paper Weight':
Hmm......
"Fools and Wise Men are a piece of paper"
[When "synthesized", it can be activated by using 10 MP. Increases the failure rate and generates "Failure Materials" and "Corrupt Items". However, it cannot be activated during Magic Alchemy]
This is... "Top Conversion" etc. Sometimes things remained as a failure material even if it failed. But when 'synthesis' fails, the material disappears. It's great to have come here and seen the possibility that failure can also be materialized and itemized.
If there is only one tie, then it cannot be used during Magic Alchemy, which allows immediate synthesis in the "Rubik Architect" type cube? The specifications that can only be activated when done slowly seem alchemic.
: Alchemy Lv37 Level Up to Alchemy Lv42:
[Secret art of gold smelting. Ability to convert potential materials up to 3 levels with MP20 consumption. The success rate depends on the high level of knowledge. If you do not have the potential, the item that became the material will be lost. It works well with the ore system and is also suitable for the task of removing impurities]
[Using the Alchemy Kit "Yukai Furnace" increases the success rate exceptionally]
"Finally, it's gold... the worst is here..."
What's wrong with this? This is an ability to reduce material consumption dramatically.
Water, for example.
Remove 'water' from storage.
If you activate your abilities whining like that, the bottle disappears and the water balls float out over your palm.
Nothing in particular to do.
It just activated, but the 'water' began to boil as I glanced, transforming into something that was clearly more transparent.
: Successful superior conversion to 'Water' - 'Fine Water' - 'Seasonal Water' - 'Pure Water':
This is bad.
If it is meant to be, 10 pieces of each material are required to perform a superior conversion.
Successfully convert 10 x 'Water' to produce 1 x 'Fine Water'.
I mean, I can't make 'pure water' without 1000 'water'.
"Besides, this' pure water '... it's also an authentic potion material."
Other mercenaries (players) who use alchemy are desperate to create them and have seen what's on Auction and Bounty Neck (Wonted).
I wonder if they have collected as many as a thousand 'waters', and their efforts are commendable.
"If you have the Alchemy Kit" Yukai Furnace ", will you increase your success rate..."
Incidentally, "smelting (loro) and rarification (rarity)" on "pure water" failed all the time and finally succeeded for the 10th time.
: Successful superior conversion to 'Pure Water' - 'King Water' - 'Holy Water' - 'Starwater':
If I do this to minerals or something, I might be able to make some incredibly powerful material. Isn't it close to the day when just a stone colo turns into a gem?
"Hehe, alchemy is still supreme and ultimate"
But not if it keeps floating.
I killed a party member in the battle against the [Cold Blooded Wolf]. We have to do their research and countermeasures.
First of all... eyes in the eye, teeth in the law of the tooth, virus in the virus.
[Rustless Wise Wolf Blood] collected from "The Great Crustacean Wolf (Iron Wolf)."
"A special blood filled with ingredients that suppress the beast's instincts and do not make him irrational in order to advance the battle to its advantage. There is also a mixture of oil planted with submissiveness to help the people living in the" Gear's Old Nest (Harold Gear) "figure out who is their master in the" Armored Beast (Geanos) ". It prevents metal oxidation and can also be used to combat rust. '
That's why I put in the "star water" that I made earlier.
"Reason, obedience, evolution..."
It is a 'flower crystal' taken from a gemstone-producing forest christiary. That forest plant that sucks the fairies' magic as nutrients and blooms crystalline flowers should be worthy of this blood.
All right.
At the end, keep a few 'moonstones' taken in the temple of the underground city of Jorn. Weather: It is common for them to be werewolved during moon and night. A stone that encloses the light of the moon would also be compatible.
The contents of The Bloody Wet Permanent Bottle (Brad Glass) were so beautiful that it could no longer be described as a work of art. White light stones scattered at the bottom of the bottle, from which crystalline flowers grow and strange brilliant liquids envelop them.
"It's a permanent plant made by God and of beauty."
Next, the "blood of the deceased" was taken from the cannibal demon (Ghoul)... I don't have the right material for this, so I will put it on hold.
However, from the observation in "Appraisal Eye", it was possible to discern that the type of virus was [fungal species: meat-eating]. The zombies in that city seem to be being invaded by a disease called meat eating.
"Well, we need to be more prepared for the [Cold Blooded Wolf (Ricant Lycan)]."
Next to Alchemy, I'll start strengthening by swinging my skill points to Magic Alchemy.
: Level up to Magic Alchemy Lv5 Lv10:
"Dusting......?"
The laughter leaks by accident at words that are too disturbing.
[Demon-guided alchemy imitating the work of brutal gods, which makes creation and destruction easy to achieve]
[Ability to disassemble material]
[Subdivision, powdering and liquefaction into materials falling under three categories]
[It can also disassemble, degrade, and dust equipment, but consumes the corresponding MP - the higher the intelligence, the greater the degradability]
It is essentially different from upper or lower conversions and is not a simple premium or deterioration.
"This ability, it means a forced division"
And the new element is the disassembly of the equipment.
Lowering the endurance value of a weapon is the same as' dusting ', but disassembling the weapon sucks. It will probably consume a ton of MP, but this is tantamount to de facto weapon destruction. Precisely where the devil's weapon of love of pearls built in tandem can be instantly turned into dust (chisels) in anticipation of an opportunity to kill a single shot.
