To be clear I purified the worm slime and sold that directly to the Blue pharmad kept the normal drops for myself. My first experiment was with the crystal mantis carapaces and wings and I was frankly uo use them in the best way. Both of the drops were most useful in the creation of staves but the problem was that to make the best staves you o [mage] developmental skill which I obviously cked. Crystal mantis drops like the name implied were made of crystal and as such while fantastic at passing mana through fic but were also brittle and thus not well suited for a melee on or armor.-

  It erhaps wasteful but I could oher sell the stuff to the guild or turn it into windows. I of course did the tter option sihe end goal was to turn the churto a fortress made out of drop items. Naturally this also included the windows which were ironically the only part of the church I couldn't onize before now sihe gss didn't e from a living source.-

  The drops being crystal meant that all I had to do was ftten them out into the shape of a pane of gss before transf the color of the crystal to be perfectly clear. I debated about whether or not to put the Hestia divine emblem on the windows but Hestia was vehemently against the idea sihat would be tacky acc to her. She was the boss sur clear crystal windows it was. The other drops were thankfully so much better suited for my purpose as they were all for ons and armors. Wyvern scales were surprisingly the most iing in how muergy they could hold before it became too much for them.-

  A single scale could hold han twelve different properties(albeit weak one) before it cracked and broke apart. With that in mind I fused twenty of the scales together into a single solid pink pte of material. I theed that process again until I had two ptes of material roughly circur aly two feet across. I refihese ptes as much as I could regardless of energy(which was siderable) until they were insanely hard and sturdy. Ohat was done I carefully started imbuing the ptes with a teique that I had high hopes for.-

  The teique had exactly two funs and a whole mess of restris due to how easily it could g. The funs were simply to extract mana from magic stones without destroying the stones and to vert that mana to cursed energy to get sent bato the stone. I split this teique between both of the ptes and prayed to Hestia that it worked. If I was successful my supply of cursed stones would suddenly explode which would open me up to many avenues of crafting.-

  At the moment it should be uood that I o wait for a magic stoo get empty before personally turning it into a cursed stone. I also couldn't go out and purchase the empty stones as first they are crushed and turned into fertilizer for the fields of the city and sed that would be suspicious as all shit if someo out of their way to buy something universally accepted as near useless whey. With this setup though I could simply have Hestia feed magic stones into the are betweewo ptes and then wait to collect the finished product.-

  Sure this is basically having my goddess w for me but she just zes about most of the day anyways so it's no big deal if she has something like this going on as well. Plus it's not like this is super hard to do either as it's pce stone, remove stone, repeat and profit. Plus she could literally just have a pile of magic stones o her that she could be sitting down and going through as she did it. All the really hard parts of the process get done by the two ptes.-

  Of course that was all in theory before I actually created the set up. As you may have already guessed however nothing I do ever goes that smoothly as far as first attempts in crafting so the set up became a detonation point instead. As in it looked like it was going to work but the moment the mana was extracted from the sto overpowered the cursed teique and exploded. I was smart however and was hiding behind a wooden shield the size of my body the moment I put the magic stone in it's designated location.-

  "Hmmm, first attempt is a failure from mana riot. Perhaps if I slow dowra rate drastically the teique wouldn't get over powered?" I muttered as I pieced together the ptes again.

  My attempt also failed , followed by the third, fourth, fifth, sixth ah attempts failing before I finally succeeded on the eight.

  "I'm going to need more than one of these things aren't I?" I muttered with a sigh as I calcuted the amount of time it would take the set up to plete a single grade two orc magic stone.

  Two hours, it was going to take two whole hours for the set up to fully extract all the mana safely, vert it to cursed energy and then stuff it bato the empty stone. By my calcutions it would take even longer fher grade and rger stones like the infant dragon or level two mohis unfortunately was the best I could do at the moment however as I was getting dangerously close to overclog the material limit of the scales. I made ahree of the set ups before moving on to the other drops that I found were worse at holding rge amounts of energy but had their own affihat could be used in future crafts.-

  I directly turhe Almiraj hides into fluffy pillows that Hestia absolutely adored sihey were so soft and wonderfully white. The horns I kept to turn into handles and the Lamia, Hellhound and Wyvern drops I had left over I just experimented with in various way until I was satisfied with my discoveries. Something curious happehe day as Bell borrowed a book from the hostess that turned out to be a grimoire he used. I was suspicious that Syr was involved but she swore it really had nothing to do with her.-

  The funny thing was that all the girls at the hostess were of the same mind about the matter "It sucks to be the person whot it." and easily moved past it. I retty sure that Bells new magic [Bolt] was the most broken spell ever as it was basically pure mana but it could take elemental properties if he added "fire, water, earth and wind" to the intation which er short "Bolt!".
