I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 139: Space Confinement Stone

Hearing his question, Alderic did not hesitate to answer, "Oh, he’s working right now in a shop called Forge’s Haven. His name is Felix. I heard he’s an Apprentice Blacksmith now."

Upon hearing that, the face of the kid who obtained the Azureite’s handle suddenly popped up in Miguel’s mind.

’Is it a coincidence or that kid actually has astronomical luck?’ Miguel thought to himself.

"Alright, thanks for the information," Miguel said.

With that being said, Miguel and Edith did not stay inside the vault for too long. Miguel thanked Alderic as they returned to their room.

It was already a long day, and Miguel considered this to be quite an eventful and fruitful day.

They gained a lot, especially him, who managed to read almost a quarter of the books stored inside Alderic’s library.

Although none of the books he had read so far divulged any deep secrets of the world, they still allowed him to reinforce his basic understanding of this world. He was also not finished reading yet; he planned to return tomorrow and read for the entire day until he finished all the books inside.

Knowledge was power, and Miguel would not want to miss this batch of knowledge that he can basically acquire for free.

Inside the room, Miguel countered the Gold Coins handed by Vena to Edith earlier and counted a total of 19,300 Gold Coins inside. From that, he estimated that each Volcanic Wyrm scale was sold for more than 4000 Gold Coins each. But since he did not know how much Lino took as his interest, he couldn’t gauge the exact numbers.

At this moment, he had a total of 20,620 Gold Coins inside the storage space of the grimoire. This was already a lot, considering he still had a lot of scales stored inside the grimoire’s storage space. He did not plan to sell them, though, as he planned to let Aaliyah make them into a set of armor for him and Edith later, when she had the time.

This transaction also allowed him to gauge the price of a Silver Grade Beast. The scales alone could already net him more than 100,000 Gold Coins, not mentioning if the meat was edible or if the other parts were sold separately.

One must note that, according to the bandits, a small Bronze Grade Summoning Crystal costs at least 10,000 Gold Coins. Having a Summoning Crystal meant that their status would become much higher than that of a martial artist and only second to that of Grimoire Summoners.

With just five scales from a Silver Grade creature, he would now be able to buy two Bronze Grade Summoning Crystal if he wanted to. Unfortunately, even if he wanted to buy for research purposes, there was just no supply in Red Cliff City. And even if there was, the price would surely skyrocket as well due to high demand but no supply.

Miguel did not think too much about it anymore as he asked Edith what was so special about the Azureite after he cast the [Concealment Barrier].

From Edith’s words, it was a rare metal that can absorb shock greatly. It was pretty durable and was mostly used as a sword handle during her time. It allowed the user of the sword to have complete control over their sword without needing to worry about vibration and shock upon hitting, as all of them would be absorbed by the handle made of Azureite.

In fact, she even said that her sword’s handle back then was also made of such material; hence, she was very familiar with the metal and was able to recognize it at first glance.

"I see. Let’s ask Aaliyah later if she can incorporate this handle into your sword as well," Miguel said.

Edith was a swordswoman, so it was only natural for her to wield a sword during a battle. They had already decided beforehand to let Aaliyah forge one when they obtained the necessary materials.

"Right, what is so special about that black stone?" Edith asked, recalling how Miguel was so adamant on obtaining it from Alderic’s collection vault.

Miguel smiled and took the Spatial Meteorite out of the box it was stored in.

"This is called a Spatial Meteorite. It is a very rare material. It can be made into storage rings that function like a Silver Grade grimoire’s storage space that everyone can theoretically use."

"Really? That’s pretty good. If that were the case, warriors like me would not need to carry their armor and weapons all day long and could just store them inside this storage ring and retrieve them during a battle. How convenient would that be?" She commented with a surprise voice.

In her era, grimoire users were revered and envied for various reasons, including their ability to store items inside their grimoires. Martial Artists envy their ability to gain experience points from every battle, while merchants envy their convenient skill of storing items inside their grimoires.

Hearing her optimistic words, Miguel only smiled and told her honestly, "I won’t be using this to make Storage Rings, though. Not to mention that we still don’t have the necessary capability to craft one; we still lacked some of the main materials, as the Spatial Meteorite is just one of the many materials we need."

"Instead of that, I planned to make this into a Space Confinement Stone."

"Space Confinement Stone? What’s that?" This was the first time that Edith heard such a word.

It was normal that Edith did not know such a thing. After all, the people of this world focused on martial arts and summoning, so their technology had not advanced that much.

Miguel smiled and explained.

"Basically, it’s just this Spatial Meteorite engraved with a special inscription. When used, it can lock an entire area down, not allowing anyone to move for a set period of time except for the user. It just so happened that this Spatial Meteorite is of the right size, and I now have the capability to engrave the inscription without a problem."
