The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

I hurriedly took out the potion and put it over my head.

My skin was smoking. It had turned bright red, but it started to heal from the edge where the potion touched it.

I take an additional potion in my hands and pour it on Hippopo and Sailoruk, whose skin is tougher than human skin.

Enviably, both of them seem to be almost undamaged.

At any rate, with a sigh of relief, I deploy the composite and keep the scrolls of adhesion intact as they remain bound.

The meteorite is heated to a very high temperature by the frictional heat with the atmosphere. For safety, it is best to keep the scrolls adhered for a while with the radiant heat.

"If possible, I would like to bring some back to Kalin as a souvenir. Depending on the ratio of meteoric iron, it could be the material for a new armor for Kalin."

I stare at the meteorite, still wrapped in the scrolled hand of my fixation, and mutter something like that.

"Bumo bumo."

While I am looking at the meteorite, I hear a voice calling from Hippopo.

"What did you find?"

I move closer to Hippopo. Hippopo is right where the sorcerer was just a moment ago.

Hippopo points with his nose at a lot of small dead insect-like things scattered around.

I carefully crouch down and observe them, being careful not to touch them. I continued to scroll through the transcriptions to see if any information appeared.

"Hmmm, I see. This is interesting.

It seems that what the sorcerer saw earlier was mimicked by this small group of insects.

"This insect itself seems to be a messenger. Maybe this is the reason why the sorcerer was able to keep running away from Taura?"

As I look at the ground further, I find what looks like a ring that appears to be broken in half.

The ring had a magic crystal stone attached to it, as if it had originally been one. Moreover, it is not just a magic crystal stone.

On the inner part of the transparent magic crystal stone, you can see what looks like a magic circle in three dimensions.

"This is... amazing! How could a magic circle be written inside a magic crystal stone? And it's a completely unknown magic circle."

I touch the broken ring in my excitement.

Unfortunately, the ring crumbles in my hand. It seems that the ring was designed to crumble after use.

"Ah! Too bad.

A mumble like that leaked out unintentionally. The ring must have been some kind of magical tool that evoked a meteorite.

The three-dimensional magic circle was far more complex than the two-dimensional magic circle of today.

The details have unfortunately disappeared in my hands.

However, the concept is wonderful. I take note of the ideas that keep coming to me, and I collect the meteorite with its adherents.

"Well, I have to get back to Taura and the others as soon as possible. They must be worried about me. Besides, there's the matter of the Har Hammer."

I talk to him as I straddle Hippopo.

"Bumo."

I clapped Hippopo on the shoulder as he said yes, and we started back the way we came, following Hippopo's footsteps.

We had almost lost Sailuku, but we got it back safely. With a new harvest in hand.
