Chapter 108 Creating Magic

You'll see when you get there.

Beverly led Zell through the bustling crowd with practiced ease.

After walking past several shops, the two stopped in front of a stall bathed in soft light.

Zellier looked around and saw that it was a small stall that specialized in selling magical trinkets.

Various types of ornaments were displayed in different categories on the display stand, which was covered with dark blue velvet, making it look luxurious.

The store offers a wide variety of goods, including earrings, necklaces, rings, and pendants.
However, they are all quite expensive.

The stall owner was a dwarf merchant who looked very shrewd.

Yes, they are dwarfs, not short people.

Zellier's human features are clearly visible on his face.

Perhaps it's because he's short that people subconsciously assume he's a dwarf, and that he sells only exquisite pieces made by master blacksmiths? Zellier thought to himself.

When the stall owner saw Beverly and Zellier, he immediately recognized who the big spender was.

"Good day, beautiful lady!"

He rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with smiles, and quickly came out from behind the stall to greet them.

"What would you like to choose from? We just received a new batch of jewelry that perfectly complements your elegant style!"

It's just another boring sales pitch. Sure enough, unscrupulous merchants are the same everywhere.
Zellir looked away listlessly.

Since Bev wants to buy jewelry, I'll just go with her.

After all, girls like these kinds of things.

"Um"

Bev crossed her arms, her gaze somewhat critical.

She looked Zelier up and down, her gaze sweeping over his neck, wrists, and waist.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zellier said, feeling a little uncomfortable.

“I’m looking at what kind of jewelry suits you,” Bev said.

"So it was for me?" Zellier realized, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, you're not allowed to say anything about not wanting it."

Bev raised an eyebrow, her tone rather domineering, "You'd better cherish this gift I gave you. Stand still and let me see it."

"."

Zellir could only stand at attention obediently, letting her do as she pleased.

To be honest, he wasn't very interested in these gadgets.

Magical accessories do indeed amplify magic power, but the effect is minimal and far less significant than the boosts provided by wands or robes.

Most importantly, it's ridiculously expensive.

In Zellier's view, this was somewhat like being taken advantage of.

Beverly picked up a string of obsidian pendants and held it up around Zellier's neck, at which point the stall owner immediately began to introduce it.

"Miss has excellent taste! This pendant enhances magic recovery speed; it's very useful!"

“Hmm, not really. Zelier, you’re not suited to wearing necklaces.” Bev shook her head and put it back.

She looked around and then took a fancy to a waist pouch.

"This waist pouch is also very good. It has rune circuit arrays engraved inside, which can improve casting efficiency," the stall owner added.

Bev thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"No. The sac isn't pretty enough; it's not noticeable at all."

She picked and chose for a long time, and finally got attracted to a silver bracelet.

The bracelet has a simple and elegant design, with a smooth, mirror-like surface that reflects a cool and soft glow.

A blooming flower is cleverly carved at the bracelet's joint.

"This Tranquility Bracelet was crafted by a master dwarven artisan from rare Moonlight Mithril."

The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw Beve pick this up.

"Those who wear it can clear their minds of distractions more quickly during meditation, and the speed and stability of their mental focus will be significantly improved!"

“Zelil, come here, stretch out your hand.”

Zell did as instructed.

Bever put the bracelet on Zellier's left wrist.

The silver metallic sheen complemented Zellier's fair skin, making him appear even more elegant and adding to his refined and gentle demeanor.

"Hmm, not bad."

Bev nodded in satisfaction. "Zelil, try it and see if it helps with the recruitment of mental energy."

Zelier fiddled with the bracelet for a moment, then channeled his mental energy into it to sense it. Sure enough, that was the case.
The so-called significant improvement is actually just a slight increase in the speed at which one can calm their mind during meditation.

"It's having some effect."

Upon hearing this, Bev immediately turned around to inquire about the price and then readily paid.

Before Zellier could finish saying "but not much," the deal was already done.
I rely on.

Forty gold coins in total!

It's almost half the price of a magic wand!
Zellier could clearly see that the stall owner was grinning from ear to ear, and he had no idea how much money he had made from this deal.

Zellier felt a pang of heartache for Bev, but Bev looked quite happy.

Seeing this, he didn't want to spoil the mood, so he could only sincerely thank Beverly.

"Thank you, Bev, I will cherish this gift."

Zellier put on the exquisite bracelet, then shook his wrist, the silver light shimmering faintly. "It really is quite beautiful."

"of course."

Bev raised her beautifully shaped chin slightly, her face showing a charming and smug expression. "My taste is quite good."

The two walked out of the trading area together.

“Alright. Now it’s my turn to repay you in a small way,” Zellier said.

"Oh?"

Bev raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile curving her lips. "How will you repay me?"

"Of course, I'll help you complete the assigned task. How else can I repay you?"

"Hehe, I knew you would help me."

"Go ahead."

Zellier volunteered, "What task have you been assigned this time? It's not to tidy up the library again, is it?"

"That's not..."

Beverly thought for a moment, "However, with your help, the efficiency will definitely improve a lot. Come with me."

Bev led Zell to a secluded courtyard surrounded by green vines behind the guild.

The courtyard was spacious, with a large stone table in the center, on which several thick books were scattered.

Zellier glanced through the books and found they contained records of various elemental reactions, as well as some notebooks filled with complex runes and drafts.

"What are you doing?" Zellier asked curiously.

"Here, this is it."

Beverly pointed to the draft on the table, "In a few days, Blackrock Town will hold its annual autumn harvest festival."

"The Black Market Town Government wants to make the celebration more lively, with a spectacular fireworks display as the grand finale, so they've come to ask our Mage Guild for help."

Fireworks display?

Zellier was taken aback. "This thing...shouldn't we go find a craftsman for it? What does it have to do with us mages?"

"The craftsmen can't make it."

Beverly waved her hand and explained.

"The fireworks they made were just stuffing gunpowder into paper tubes to make a bang and a few orange sparks. They were far from being spectacular."

“That makes sense…” Zellier nodded knowingly.

Based on his usual observations, the world was still in a very early stage of the development and application of gunpowder.

The so-called fireworks are most likely just the most basic kind of firecrackers. They may be lively, but they are not very entertaining.

"Therefore, this glorious and arduous task will be taken over by our Mage Guild!" Bev said with a hint of pride.

"Then how do we do it?"

Zellier became interested as well, "Create a completely new kind of fireworks magic from scratch?"

That's pretty much the gist of it!

Beverly nodded affirmatively.

"Just like creating other magic, we will use rigorous logic and ingenious circuit structures to design and construct a grand fireworks magic show specifically for viewing!"

"You can do it?" Zellier was somewhat moved.

That sounds difficult.

Even creating a firework magic spell that doesn't need to be lethal requires a deep understanding of the theory.

If Bev can actually accomplish this, then she will definitely be considered a true genius in the field of research-based mages.
