I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"Wait, wait, does your Excellency mean that we can observe?"

"Well, as long as you don't think it's a waste of time, it's fine."

"They actually allowed outsiders to observe!"

"This is truly incredible!"

"The disciple of Master Entarosphiel is so kind!"

The crowd immediately became agitated, and some rumors were spread, which seemed to be rumors in every way.

"Ahh, let's go in first."

Because it was too hot to stay here, Ella wanted to leave quickly, so she pushed open the door and walked into a spacious hall of at least several thousand square meters with a huge stove in the center. The red color that came into her sight brought a wave of heat to her whole body.

"Sir, please use this top-grade orichalcum blast furnace."

Reed pointed to the blast furnace closest to the center, which was about ten meters high, and said this, but this behavior made Ella feel a little embarrassed. When forging magic weapons, she only needed to make a mold in advance, and then use the Fire Arrow to pour the molten metal into the mold. There was no need to use a blast furnace at all. Moreover, judging from the temperature displayed on the "Prop Appraisal", this mountain copper blast furnace could only soften the metal she brought, not melt it.

Unable to melt the metal, he would not be able to manipulate the airflow to inject the "magic liquid" into the magic weapon to form a magic circuit. In other words, traditional methods were completely unsuitable for him.

Noticing that Ella was standing still, Reed yelled at the other old men as if he had thought of something.

"Hurry up and throw in the orichalcum-grade magic core to start the blast furnace!"

"Oh, yes, I actually forgot something so important!"

"Um... I don't need to consume the orichalcum magic core. I need to mix the 'magic fluid' first."

"But sir, mixing the 'magic liquid' first will cause the magic power in it to dissipate. If it's ordinary metal, it's fine, but if you want to melt mithril-level metal, it will take at least twenty minutes."

One of the old men gave some advice.

When casting magic weapons, preparing "magic liquid" in advance, especially high-level "magic liquid", is listed as a taboo option. Because even if it is placed in a bottle specially used to store "magic liquid", the magic in it will slowly emit uncontrollably. Therefore, most of the time, the metal is first forged into the desired shape, and then the "magic liquid" is mixed on the spot, or two people are simply divided into two groups to work together.

However, since Ella had a time-stopping storage, the loss of the magic power of the "Magic Liquid" was not a big problem for her. There was no difference between taking it out and storing it.

Reed looked dissatisfied at the old man's unauthorized interruption.

"Adults have their own way of doing things, there's no need for you to tell them here."

"But she looks like just a little kid..."

"If you're not satisfied, get out."

"That's right, I think you're jealous."

"I……"

The rebuttals from the other elders made the elder who had given advice earlier shut up in embarrassment.

Seeing this scene, Ella could only give a wry smile to get by.

Although these elders were very excited when they heard that they could observe, they were actually very polite and kept a distance of at least five meters. The only one standing next to him was Camisia, who remained silent the entire time. Although he could not see the expression under Camisia's mask, he seemed to feel that Camisia was satisfied with the elders' performance.

Walking slowly to the workbench a little further away from the blast furnace, Ella took out the materials needed to prepare the "Magic Liquid" from the storage. Compared with the "Magic Liquid" prepared last time in the Holy Academy, this "Magic Liquid" has more stringent requirements for magic control, probably changing the original injection of 1 point of magic per second to 0.9 per second.

Although it sounds easy, it is not a simple thing for Ella, because it means that the burden of her imagination is heavier. She has never tried to rely on imagination to change the magic power to 0.9. Without a reference, she can only try slowly. The process is like cutting off a piece of wood as thick as a finger by only cutting off the thickness of a hair at a time, getting closer to the expected value little by little.

Seeing Ella start to prepare, the noisy old men fell silent, and the only sound in the entire forging hall was the sound of burning flames.

There were almost no troubles in the initial preparation work, and it took less than ten minutes to reach the stage of injecting magic power and preparing. It is worth mentioning that when the old men saw the precious materials that Ella took out, they let out a series of almost surprised exclamations.

“Hmm…”

Taking a deep breath, under the gaze of everyone, Ella gathered 1 point of magic power at her fingertips, and then relied on her imagination to slowly peel off the extra 0.1 magic power.

It's like trying to pass a thin thread through the eye of a needle from a height of several meters.

Carefully, arduously, and cautiously, the magic is stripped away bit by bit. As long as you succeed once, it will be much easier to gather it again by relying on imagination.

The beads of sweat that were already covering her forehead began to gather into streams due to nervousness and dripped down her pretty face. Although Camisia wanted to use a handkerchief to wipe the sweat, she stopped in mid-air because she was afraid that this would interrupt Ella's concentration.

[This should be fine... It should be around 0.9.]

Comparing the 1 point of magic power displayed on her other hand, Ella nodded and injected 0.9 points of magic power into the mixing vessel.

boom.

A slight muffled sound appeared in the silent hall along with the smoke.

——The first deployment failed.

Chapter 39 Miracles

After being stunned for a moment, Ella blinked.

The reason for the failure should be that too much magic was stripped off when separating, resulting in insufficient magic and thus the mixing failed. Judging from the size of the smoke that came out, it was actually very close to the required amount.

However, what surprised Ella was that she originally thought that the craftsmen behind her would sigh because of their failure, but this was not the case. They did not make any sound at all, as if she had not failed at all.

「Well, I should be thankful that I didn’t say anything. Let’s start over. 」

Sticking out her tongue inwardly, Ella took out the corresponding materials from the warehouse again and began to mix them.

What Ella didn't know was that in the process of mixing the "magic liquid", failure was almost inevitable. Unless a very high-level person mixed a very low-level "magic liquid", it would be impossible to succeed in one go. In other words, if Ella had succeeded in one go just now, it would have caused these old men to become agitated.

Unlike the first time, due to the experience of failure last time, the second time she encountered almost no difficulties when it came to injecting magic power. Carefully, Ella injected the magic power from her fingertips into the mixing vessel.

The light blue liquid began to boil, but according to the "Low-level Item Appraisal", the temperature of the quasi-magic liquid did not change much, and the agitation was entirely due to magic.

After a moment, the light blue "magic liquid" turned into a dreamy deep blue, and the liquid level also dropped significantly - the impurities were removed in the previous process.

"Ooooh! I succeeded after just one try! That's incredible!"

"As expected, you are Master Entarosphiel's disciple."

"I'm really looking forward to the casting process later."

As if they were cheering for their idols, the old men let out bursts of exclamations, and many of them even began to rub their hands excitedly, looking forward to the most critical casting process.

「Well… even if I put on this expectant expression, I don’t think I’ll gain anything from it…」

After all, even Iris backed off after seeing her casting process.

After waiting for the elders to calm down, Lid, who was standing near the orichalcum blast furnace, asked Ella.

"Sir, what temperature level do you require?"

"Eh? You don't need to use that. Besides, you should stay a little further away from me, otherwise you might get into danger."

"……yes."

After hesitating for a moment, Reed chose to believe Ella and took the other old men back a few steps.

After placing the prepared "magic liquid" into storage, Ella handed Camisia a piece of cherry-colored metal and a jet-black lock-shaped prop. Utilizing the Sword of Disorder's ability to change shape, it was possible to create molds that would not be damaged by high temperatures at will. This could be considered the most suitable magic weapon for casting. Of course, normally, no one would use the Sword of Disorder, which was worthy of being called the continent's top magic weapon, in this way.

"That's... Scarlet Gold and God, the God's Crystal!?"

"It's actually a God's Crystal. Who on earth is Entarosphiel to give away such a material so casually?"

Having become somewhat numb to the old men's admiration, Ella chose to ignore their voices as much as possible and instead took out the Fire Arrow from the storage.

The cherry-colored metal handed to Camisia was scarlet gold, and the black lock-shaped prop was the magic lock made of God's Crystal that was destroyed by the fire arrow when Tina was freed from the birdcage under the sea. It was placed here just as a ready-made God's Crystal material - normal weapons only need to be mixed with a little bit of God's Crystal to have indestructible properties. If placed in a magic weapon, it can make the conduction efficiency of the magic circuit extremely high, and can also amplify the magic itself to a certain extent. Coupled with the rare output of only a few kilograms per year, it can be said to be an item that all magic weapon casters dream of.

Camisia molded the Sword of Disorder into an earring shape.

"My Lord, I am ready."

"Hmm, — 'Catastrophe'."

In an instant, the flames released by the Fire Arrow bloomed in the hall, and beads of sweat flowed down her cheeks without any hesitation, but that was all. Although the Fire Arrow could amplify the power of first-level magic to fourth-level magic, it was essentially cast by Ella, so it was impossible to accidentally hurt other people.

After only about five minutes, the scarlet gold began to melt, and then was placed into the container formed by the Sword of Disorder by Camisia using special magic. As for the Crystal of God, because it was too tough, it was barely melted until Ella increased her magic output.

After that, it was customary to use the operating airflow to inject the "magic liquid" into the weapon. With the help of "low-level item identification", the magic circuit was slowly formed. It was almost the same as when using ordinary "magic liquid". If I had to say, it was just that the temperature was too high and difficult to control.

Not long after, a pair of earrings made mainly of scarlet gold with a small amount of divine crystal mixed in was completed. However, if you consider the appearance, it still needs some carving and modification.

『Low-level item identification』

"The result is Orichalcum grade... I feel like I can forge a Crimson Gold grade magic accessory next time. Well, the completion of the magic circuit this time wasn't as high as before, so it's only Orichalcum grade, which is normal."

With a small sigh, Ella put the props and the cooled earrings into storage. Although she had a cheat-level "Low-level Prop Appraisal", as long as it encountered the high temperature just now, the "Magic Liquid" would enter an extremely unstable state. If it was not controlled well, the path of the magic circuit would become too wide or extremely narrow, and it would not play an ideal role. If she wanted to forge a better magic weapon for Lotte before the 14th, taking into account the time for carving and coating, she could only try to forge it at a high level to catch up.

After secretly making a plan in her mind, Ella turned around and found that the craftsmen were looking at each other in amazement.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"Sir, are you finished with your preparations?"

"Preparations? The magic earrings are already made."

As if for display, Ella took out the magic earrings from the storage. Although the outer appearance still had an ugly metallic luster, the inner part was indeed of orichalcum grade, and had the ability to immediately generate the third-level defensive magic "Magic Shield" after injecting magic power.

After hearing Ella's explanation, Reed was like a goldfish, his lips opening and closing constantly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. Finally, he took a few steps forward, stretched out his trembling hands, and looked at Ella as if begging.

“…Ah…ah, s-sir, it’s rude, but, but could you let me see?”

"Yes, no problem. I'm planning to sell this at an auction."

"Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much!"

Excitedly taking the earrings, Reed used his identification skills on them. Gradually, Reed's expression changed from excitement to extreme shock - the evidence was that his eyeballs had widened to the point of almost popping out.

As if trapped in an illusion, Reed kept repeating incoherent words in a low voice until the other anxious old men slapped him hard in the face. However, Reed was not angry at all because of the other old men's excessive behavior. It was as if those things had never happened at all, and he kept gasping and shouting.

"Amazing...amazing, it's a miracle! This kind of casting method, even the One God himself can't do it! I was able to come to this world just to see you cast it so smoothly today!"

"Hey, hey! Lid! Lid! What's wrong with you?!"

"Quick! Tell the guards to take Lid to the temple!"

Reed seemed to be overwhelmed by emotions and fell to the ground, clutching the earrings and fainting.

While the other old men were busy, Ella slowly raised one hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Uh ah... I think I should be able to, 'Blessing of Sobriety'."

A faint white light enveloped Reed, causing him to open his eyes again. It seemed that because of his previous coma, Reed's emotions had calmed down a little, but he was still excited and showed the earrings to the other old men.

"These are orichalcum-grade earrings! Furthermore, they're magical accessories no bigger than the tip of your pinky fingernail. Can you make something of this level? Can you make it?"

No one responded, and some even turned their heads away in shame.

"Your Excellency completed the earrings in less than an hour, and with unprecedented skill. These earrings are definitely the future of our foundry industry!"

As Reed half-lay down with his earrings raised and his eyes wide open, the other old men fell silent. It was not until Ella was about to speak that another old man took up the topic.

"...Indeed, this casting method is completely unheard of..."

"Yeah, could it be that we've been going the wrong way all this time?"

"It's not a problem, it's a problem! Aren't these earrings proof of it?"

"I'm going to retire and study hard when I get back."

"Ahh, take me with you."

"Yes, take me with you."

"yes."

There was no questioning at all, and the elders reached a consensus.

Feeling that it would be endless if these old men continued discussing, Ella, who had been waiting nearby, stretched her neck slightly.

"Um... have we finished this discussion? How much are these earrings worth in gold coins, ignoring the special magical structure and the casting method?"

In order to reduce possible ineffective conversations, Ella emphasized it again.

The one who answered the question was one of the calmer elders.

"About... 5000 gold coins? Third-tier magic is already incredibly valuable, and since it's engraved with defensive magic, and the earrings themselves don't take up much space and can be worn at any time, 5000 gold coins is definitely a fair price. No, it's definitely too little. Even 6000 gold coins would be fine. If you also consider the magical structure and casting involved—"

"Ah, that's all. That's all. I'd like you to issue an appraisal certificate for these earrings. I'd like to sell them later."

"Sell it? My Lord, are you saying you want to sell this?"

The old man's voice seemed out of tune.

"Yes, today. It's getting late. Please hurry up."

For some reason, some old men began to run hurriedly towards the door. Judging from the "Topography Search", they seemed to be heading to the auction house.
