My Servant System

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1156: Giving It A Little 'Juice'



For a few minutes after that I just sat there and mulled over all of the new information I had, putting together new ideas as I sorted through it to figure out another way to get stronger.

Friede's Manuals were by far the most important amongst the ones I had purchased, and the vast amount of knowledge within them was definitely worth the price tag; the story that was told with each section of the manual was a fascinating one, and I was hopeful that I could piece together more of her story over time.

A woman born amongst the commoners with a Core that just so happened to be attuned to Ice Magic was a parallel that we somewhat shared, though that was all that really seemed similar between us since Friede turned to the church to find her purpose, and I was more... self driven. I worked for me and to get my purpose out of someone I was legitimately tied to whether I liked it or not, while she sought out that purpose on her own and gave it her everything; devoting her life to her Gods and living according to their tenants, she worked to better her community and maintain the peace, but unlike the religious fanatics I was accustomed to from my own world, she was a bit more... direct with her approach.

Her manual on fighting was filled with notes and addendums about the things she had done or what she had observed, and each of them showed that she learned a lot from each encounter with rogues and enemy fanatics hoping to take her church over.

It was beyond interesting, and now I had that story lodged inside of my brain thanks to the work of my System, something that I still had no real idea on what I should feel considering all of my prior worries, but what's done is done.

Instead I moved onto the next item on my agenda, one that I definitely found just as interesting, even more so now that I had some extra tips and tricks ready to be put to use; I was going to buy myself a nice little gemstone that was chock full of Water Mana before making use of one of the things I always had on me.

Something that was also somewhat neglected after all this time, and one that I cherished even if I didn't really think about it all that often; the collar around my neck that had two separate medallions hanging off of it.

The first was the more recent one; that Storybook Phoenix charm that Reincantra had gifted me, the simple yet powerful charm dangling there and exuding a very distinct yet hard to notice aura that I had grown accustomed to.

The other was less powerful but just as important, and that was the golden charm that was shaped like the symbol the March Asmodia utilized; the horned circle resting atop a downwards pointing triangle, something that had alchemical significance as well as an alteration that very much looked like the Demoness who ruled that land.

There was no power in it at all, but that was something I wanted to change soon, and the best thing I could do was place a gemstone inside of that empty space and enchant this pendant with something nice to get another boost for myself, one that I think I now had the knowhow to complete.

Using some golden wire that I purchased for a few Shop Points, I painstakingly worked to attach and secure a beautiful sapphire into the golden charm, ensuring that it wouldn't ever be dislodged or broken as I used raw mana to press the wire into the gold itself, fusing the two together.

As soon as that was completed, I fished out my Magic Pen and got to engraving the runes into the thin bends of the gold, guiding my Water Mana into the material and not bothering to fight off the smirk that tugged at my lips as I felt the raw power emanating from the gemstone.

It was a beautiful sapphire that wasn't cut just yet, its rough and natural shape made all the more enticing after it had been cleaned up and polished to a brilliant glow, allowing the mana within to shine through and compliment the gold it was set against.

The warmth of the metal and the cool glimmer of the sapphire was elegantly tied together, even more so when I set the runes in for a spell that would act as a mixture between a self defense spell and a empowerment spell; it would amplify my healing factor, deflect attacks of a certain strength, and imbue my body with another supply of mana constantly, which was created by adding a new loop to my body.

The mana inside of the gemstone would be flowing out of it constantly before looping back to itself, sustained by the mana in the air and the mana within me to ensure that it never ran out, meaning that I had a passive mana drain to worry about now, but one that wouldn't be strong enough to actually do anything whenever I was just sitting around in 'neutral'.

It was a nifty little thing to have on me, and the flow from one spell to another was seamless as I slowly began to engrave it into the metal, adding another tool to my arsenal that would make the coming battles all the easier, especially if I was going to have a new set of armor made from a material that was many times stronger than what I was currently using.

When we got back to the Empire I was definitely going to source a few more gemstones both from my System and from the real world to use for our armor, since they were quite the pretty copper inside of the System Shop; my sapphire cost me 75,000 SP, and if I had gotten the cut one that had a little more purified mana within it, that price leapt up to a nice 100,000 SP.

In the real world this would easily cost us a few dozen gold to get thanks to its size and quantity of mana, so that was why I was rather happy we were getting paid handsomely for all of this; the box of gemstones and gold we had already accrued was already enough to retire a normal family on, honestly... and we were getting paid even more after this too!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

All we needed now was time, but that wasn't able to be bought no matter how many platinums we tried to throw at the World... sadly enough that wasn't how the World worked...
