Chapter 1006 Coming To Terms, Imposed Limitation

"You truly have me at a loss for words," Morrighan said with a helpless smile as she examined the contents of the vial through the system.

In truth, she had already prepared herself only to receive a handful of drops at most from Izroth. However, because of the importance that the Immortal Hydra's blood held to her, Morrighan decided that it would be okay to suffer a momentary loss.

"I am not sure if Palace Master Izroth is aware of this fact, but in order to craft magic items that are higher than C-rank, one requires high-end resources. And, when one approaches A-rank magic items, the resources used must be, at minimum, of the ancient-rank. However, in order to craft magic items that are S-rank or higher, I require the use of mythical-grade resources. The Silver Inversion Disc is a magic item that I have poured all of my resources, knowledge, and efforts into." Morrighan said as the Silver Inversion Disc slowly levitated over in Izroth's direction.

Izroth held out the palm of his hand as the Silver Inversion Disc halted right above it without pausing its rotation.

"I am not usually the sentimental type; however, I hope that Palace Master Izroth does not let my creation waste away and puts it to good use," Morrighan commented.

"Don't worry. I'll be sure to take full advantage of it." Izroth assured.

He then clenched his hand into a fist as the Silver Inversion Disc was sent to his inventory.

"Now that that's settled, we should go over a few things if you plan on being a part of the Mystical Realm Palace," Izroth stated.

...

Izroth and Morrighan spent the next few minutes ironing out some details regarding the Phantom Queen forming a mutual relationship with the Mystical Realm Palace.

For one, Izroth made it so that if Morrighan wanted to sell her magic items through the Mystical Realm Palace, she was free to do so. As for the cut of profits—there was none.

100% of what Morrighan would make from selling her magic items would go right to her. That is if she fronted the cost using her own resources. If she decided to use the resources of the Mystical Realm Palace, then she would only have to pay back the amount used for the materials from the profit.

As for the amount of resources she could request—Izroth did not set a limit. That's because no matter what kind of magic item she crafted, it was guaranteed to yield a sizable return.

Additionally, Izroth had an interesting idea in regard to the method of selling.

Since the Mystical Realm Palace had plenty of incoming flowing in, Izroth was not interested in the money portion of magic items, but rather the draw potential.

Whenever Morrighan wanted to sell a magic item at the Mystical Realm Palace, they would hold a special auction event with that magic item as the star attraction.

Not only would this drum up business and create more buzz around the Mystical Realm Palace; but it would also enable other craftsmen of the Mystical Realm Palace to get their best works recognized. Of course, they would have to earn their item slot in the auction by putting forth the effort.

Furthermore, Izroth planned on adding another floor to the Mystical Realm Palace so that Morrighan would have a private place to craft should she decide to visit or stay there for a while.

Izroth also handed over the severely damaged Twin Lasting Epoch Sentinels to Morrighan.

After giving it a quick look over, the Phantom Queen confirmed that it was possible to repair the magic item; however, it would require a hefty amount of resources and some time to do. Naturally, Izroth had no trouble with those conditions.

'I should inform Advisor Fang Qiu to make some preparations for the future.'

"I've only mentioned the rough outline of things. In the future, I will entrust another person with going over the more precise issues and providing you with whatever resources you need." Izroth stated.

"For now, this much is plentiful. Though I hope Palace Master Izroth remembers the nature of our relationship. The one condition I mentioned will not be changed." Morrighan reminded.

"It's fine. There is no problem with the condition you set. After all, I have no intention of dragging you into my own affairs." Izroth said in a carefree manner.

Morrighan did not mind forming a connection with the Mystical Realm Palace; however, she made it a condition that it would only be in the capacity of a craftsman. This meant that she would have nothing to do with things like dungeons, raids, boss fights, or player conflicts.

That being said, the Phantom Queen also mentioned that she would not sit back and watch if the Mystical Realm Palace ever came under a direct threat.

Izroth was not bothered by Morrighan's decision. In the end, the concerns Morrighan revealed were all small matters in Izroth's eyes. In the long run, everything brought up was an insignificant price to pay compared to having a Magic Architect of the Phantom Queen's level become a part of the Mystical Realm Palace.

"I'm curious, how long did it take you to craft an S-rank magic item?" Izroth inquired.

"Not accounting for the time I spent gathering resources; it took me roughly six hours," Morrighan answered casually.

Six hours? If those top guild players found out it only took the Phantom Queen six hours to craft an S-ranked magic item, they would be filled with an endless stream of envy!

'Six hours... Are the creation of magic items that simple?'

Izroth did not know much about the creation process of magic items in RML. Needless to say, information about the production process of magic items was either lost to the passage of time or kept under heavy guard by those fortunate enough to have happened upon some secrets. It was not something that would be left in a place like the Amaharpe Palace Library. Instead, it was more likely that any magic item production methods were locked away in some hidden vault owned by those with power and influence.

"In truth, it is not necessarily difficult to create the magic item itself, but... Well, I suppose there is no harm in telling you now that we share a connection." Morrighan sighed as she lightly shook her head.

She then continued, "The reason why there are so few magic items to begin with has to do with the burden creating a magic item places upon a Magic Architect. C-rank or lower magic items do not have that heavy of a burden, but once a Magic Architect begins to craft magic items that are B-rank or higher, in order to bring it to life, so to speak, they must give a piece of themselves to the magic item. The higher the magic item's rank, the bigger the piece that must be given."

'I see. That would certainly explain the scarcity of magic items.'

Although Izroth had a good amount of magic items in his possession, he was not oblivious to his own fortunate circumstances. For the average player, obtaining a C-rank or B-rank magic item could already be seen as a great fortuitous encounter, let alone an S-ranked or higher magic item.

"That piece I am speaking of is a person's life force. Of course, if we were just speaking about health, I could solve the issue with just a few potions. However, the life force I'm speaking of is something much more unique. It is the very thing that ties one to this world. But, seeing as how I am a player, it is a little different in my case. I can craft any number of magic items at C-rank and below. After that, twenty B-rank, ten A-rank, five S-rank, two SS-rank, and one SSS-rank—this is the limit imposed by the system in terms of crafting high-rank magic items." Morrighan explained.

"Oh? Then, since you've given me the Silver Inversion Disc..."

"Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. To put it simply, I can only create four more S-rank magic items."

'A crafting limit on high-ranked items... Will the same apply to things like pills and equipment as well?'

If that was the case, Izroth hoped that the skill The Unbounded One would be able to bypass such limitations.

Izroth inwardly sighed. It was a shame that Morrighan lacked a skill like The Unbounded One that allowed one to be unbound by all under the firmament. Otherwise, perhaps it would have been possible to surpass the limit imposed by the system on the creation of high-ranked magic items.
