Chapter 131: Let's Make a Magic Gun

I obtained a leaf from the World Tree, which is the material needed to make a Magic Gun. I never imagined I would receive it directly from the World Tree. Returning to the workshop, I headed to the underground workroom with Theo.

According to the Elf Elder, the monster offensive is likely to intensify in the near future. The Elder taught me the terror of monsters. It is better to have as many means as possible to oppose them.

The Magic Gun allows one to shoot powerful magic without having magic skills, and it has the advantage of not consuming one’s own magic power. Since they are rarely found in ruins, I think it will be significant if I become able to craft them.

I lined up iron, Mithril, and the World Tree leaf in front of me. Since the World Tree leaf is a precious material, thinking that I cannot fail makes me nervous. I closed my eyes, visualized the blueprints of the Magic Gun in my mind, and concentrated.

I wish to make a Magic Gun that can protect many people when a horde of monsters attacks. It seems many people died the last time the power of Darkness strengthened. Losing someone close is painful at any time. I especially want to prevent children from grieving the loss of their parents.

Thinking that, magic power welled up from deep within my body. I feel like something lent me its strength. When I opened my eyes, a beautiful magic circle was floating above my palm. The magic circle, usually drawn in white light, was drawn in green light this time.

It is mysterious. But I’m glad the Production Skill activated safely. Warm green light enveloped the materials, and when it eventually faded, a Magic Gun appeared. “Master, congratulations!” “Thank you, Theo. It seems I managed to make it well somehow.”

“As expected of Master. By the way, unlike usual, both the magic circle and the light enveloping the materials were green.” “Ah, you saw it too, Theo. Then it wasn’t my imagination.” “Yes, I saw it clearly. What on earth happened?” “Hmm, I feel like something lent me its power when making the Magic Gun.”

“I see. Perhaps the World Tree lent you its power. Since you are the Savior acknowledged by the World Tree, Master.” I wonder if that can happen? Even though this place is far from the World Tree. Is power infused in the World Tree leaf?

I picked up the finished Magic Gun. When I Appraised it, it was the same as the one I received from Master Erica. With this, I was able to make a Magic Gun.

However, the World Tree leaf used as material is precious, so it cannot be obtained easily. But… “Then, here I go.” When Theo placed soil in front of him and concentrated, his fingertips began to glow, and a green magic circle floated above his palm. And when the warm green light enveloping the soil disappeared, a Magic Gun appeared there.

As expected, Theo‘s Replication Skill is amazing. To think he can create even something made using rare materials like a World Tree leaf out of soil. Since replication consumes a massive amount of magic power, I had Theo replicate one per day, and for now, had him replicate three Magic Guns.

I stored the Magic Gun I made in the workshop’s underground warehouse, and gave one of the replicas to the Elves who agreed to the use of the World Tree leaf. The Elder was impressed, saying, “As expected of the Savior,” so when I answered that it was thanks to the World Tree and Oliver, I was praised, “That humility is also a virtue.”

People often tell me I am humble, but I can only make things with the Production Skill because I receive blueprints and help with gathering materials. Besides, if I became overconfident in my own power, I feel like I would stop being myself.

I also gave a Magic Gun to Oliver, who found the blueprints. He was apologetic, saying, “Is it okay for me to receive this?” but without Oliver, I couldn’t have made the Magic Gun. Besides, with this, Oliver can also protect himself in an emergency.

I will present the remaining one to the Royal Family. Since it is a rare item, I decided to take it to the Royal Castle myself. I also want to report the story I heard from the Elder. When I teleported to the mansion in the Royal Capital and asked a retainer to go as a messenger to the Royal Castle, surprisingly, His Majesty decided to meet me the next day.

“I apologize for visiting suddenly while you are busy.” “No, if it is something William-kun brings himself, it must be something quite significant.” I wonder how His Majesty perceives me.

I reported the situation and presented the Magic Gun to His Majesty. “To think you can even make Magic Guns… It was good that I came to receive it. Really, William-kun’s Production Skill is extraordinary.” His Majesty made a face that looked both impressed and exasperated.

Then, I reported to His Majesty what I heard from the Elder. “Hmm, so the monster offensive looks like it will intensify in the near future.” “Yes. According to the Elder, since the World Tree has weakened and the power of Darkness is strengthening, the offensive will surely intensify.”

“I see, understood. I will dispatch the Kingdom Knight Order to various places and heighten alerts.” I am grateful His Majesty trusts me. I hope we can prevent damage by preparing in advance.

According to a letter that arrived from Princess Flora after a while, it seems the Magic Gun presented to the Royal Family will be held by Her Highness. Even though she has guards, it is likely to ensure the safety of Her Highness, who doesn’t have fighting skills. I can understand that His Majesty cherishes Princess Flora.

In the letter, Her Highness lamented, “I thought I could go to the dangerous undeveloped lands with everyone now that I have this, but Father did not approve.” No, just because she has a weapon, isn’t it natural for His Majesty not to approve Her Highness going to a dangerous place?
