Chapter 1005 Magic Architect

"I will get right to the point," Morrighan said as she held out her hand.
The next moment, a silver circular disc roughly 30 centimeters in diameter with magic symbols carved onto its surface appeared in Morrighan's hand.
The disc hovered a few centimeters above her palm and released a faint humming sound as it slowly rotated.
"This is an S-rank magic item called Silver Inversion Disc. It is capable of expanding up to 350 times its original size and inverts the perception of all those within its range of influence. It also reduces the physical and magic defense of those affected by 75% and periodically allows the user to teleport instantly to any location within its range of influence." Morrighan explained.
'Oh? To think she'd take out an S-rank magic item. It seems she's quite serious this time.'
Acquiring magic items above C-rank was a challenging task and an A-ranked magic item was enough to act as one of a guild's trump cards. And, when it came to S-rank magic items—even those top guilds probably only had one or zero in their possession!
As for trading or exchanging an S-rank magic item, no one would ever entertain such an outrageous idea. Because of the limited number of magic items in RML and the scarcity of those above B-rank, no amount of gold coins would be enough to purchase one.
Yet, Morrighan was willing to part ways with such a magic item. This showed just how much she valued the Blood of the Immortal Hydra in Izroth's possession.
"Since you're showing me this, I'm assuming you want a portion of the Blood of the Immortal Hydra I collected during the crusade," Izroth commented.
"That's right. I am willing to exchange the Silver Inversion Disc for a reasonable amount of the Immortal Hydra's blood. Seeing as how you already have the information contained within the ancient scrolls as well, I believe this offer is more than appropriate." Morrighan stated.
She then continued, "Since Palace Master Izroth is an honest person, I will be straightforward. Besides, you will find out regardless the moment you accept the Silver Inversion Disc. Before, you asked me what my profession was and inquired about the required use of a resource like the Immortal Hydra's blood. In truth, my profession is a Magic Architect."
'Magic Architect... I see. That explains why she wanted to keep it a secret. If those top guilds learned of this, they would be a lot more persistent in their attempts to win her over.'
Morrighan was already considered the best magic caster in the eyes of the top guilds. Naturally, this reason alone was enough for them to do everything in their power to bring her over to their side. However, if one were to add the Magic Architect protection on top of that—Morrighan's value would skyrocket to another level.
That's because the legendary Magic Architect profession gave one the knowledge and skills to construct magic items!
As far as Izroth knew, Morrighan was the first, and perhaps only, player to obtain the Magic Architect profession in RML.
He also read that creating magic items was not cheap and the required resources to do so were oftentimes astounding. Even for a skilled player like Morrighan, she most likely had to rely on gathering her own high-end resources. After all, the top guilds were well known for always immediately snatching up any high-end resources that appeared on the open market.
Not to mention, if Morrighan tried to interact with a top guild in order to obtain certain high-end resources, it would undoubtedly end with them using it as an excuse in an attempt to recruit her.
However, Morrighan being able to take out an S-rank magic item, while somewhat surprising, was not too unbelievable for a player of her caliber. What truly took Izroth aback was something in particular that Morrighan said.
"You will find out regardless the moment you accept the Silver Inversion Disc"—there was only one reason Morrighan would have made a statement like that.
Whenever Izroth created skills through the Combat Master class, the skill itself always listed him as the creator by default. This rule also applied to craftsmen who created items.
But, if that were the case, it would mean that Morrighan was responsible for the creation of the Silver Inversion Disc—an S-ranked magic item!
A Magic Architect itself was already enough to kick up a fuss. But one that could craft S-ranked magic items—if such news was released, it would cause a massive ripple effect to spread throughout RML.
"An S-ranked magic item is certainly tempting. But I'm curious. I am the owner of the Mystical Realm Palace. Are you not afraid that my greed is even greater than that of the top guilds? After all, a Magic Architect with your capabilities is quite difficult to turn a blind eye to." Izroth stated calmly.
"If Palace Master Izroth is such a man so easily consumed by greed, then I have truly misjudged you for a second time. If that's the case, I would only have myself to blame for being deceived." Morrighan replied without hesitation.
'I guess she hasn't forgotten about that.'
Izroth nodded and said, "You can be at ease. I have no intention of exposing your profession to others. And, while my Mystical Realm Palace would welcome you with open arms, I won't attempt to force the matter."
"Upon my visit to the Mystical Realm Palace, I learned that Palace Master Izroth is rather generous and open to the craftsman around him. That's why it's not as though I would necessarily be against forming a mutual relationship with the Mystical Realm Palace. That is, so long as Palace Master Izroth is willing to suffer in my place." Morrighan said with a meaningful look in her eyes.
'Interesting.'
Izroth immediately understood Morrighan's intent with those words.
"In other words, you want me to deal with blocking the top guilds that have been chasing after you nonstop to win you over. That's a rather troublesome task, wouldn't you agree?" Izroth commented with a carefree smile.
Of course, Izroth was no stranger when it came to interacting with the top guilds. He had his fair share of both friendly and hostile encounters with them. But, whether or not they were a top guild did not matter to Izroth. As long as they did not attempt to obstruct his path or mess with the people under his protection, Izroth would not find trouble with them of his own accord.
However, if they attempted to go after what was his, then their fate would end the same way as Sage Falls.
"That's why I said Palace Master Izroth would have to be willing to suffer in my place," Morrighan responded as her lips curved into a light smile.
'An S-ranked magic item and the Magic Architect profession... It's not like this is necessarily a bad deal for me. She may also be able to repair the Twin Lasting Epoch Sentinels—perhaps even restore it to its full original strength. As for suffering in her place...'
"If I were incapable of enduring at least that much, I'm afraid I'd be too disappointed in myself. Since you have shown me your sincerity, I must respond in kind." Izroth said as he removed an Ageless Vial of Sen from his inventory.
"The Blood of the Immortal Hydra requires a special kind of container to house its contents. Preferably one that's indestructible. For now, I will lend you an Ageless Vial of Sen. You can return it when you see fit." Izroth stated as he tossed the vial toward Morrighan.
The Phantom Queen made a small motion with her finger, causing the vial to stop mid-air before slowly levitating in front of her.
"That particular vial holds roughly 50% of the Immortal Hydra's blood that I have in my possession," Izroth stated nonchalantly.
"?!" Morrighan's eyes widened in surprise.
50%? She did not know precisely how much that amounted to; however, just the fact that he gave her half of what was in his possession shocked the Phantom Queen.
Not only that, she was not fooled by the small appearance of the Ageless Vial of Sen. As a Magic Architect, she instantly recognized that the vial was actually an S-ranked magic item!
Without a doubt, it held much more of the Immortal Hydra's blood than its physical appearance would have one assume.
