Chapter 650 Crafting Frostine’s Crown (2)



‘Whew, that was much easier than last time.’ Marcus thought as he removed the crucible from the furnace and let the heat settle down.

Quickly he poured the molten amethros into a couple smaller ingot molds one of which was picked out to be the right size for the material necessary to craft Frostine’s crown.

‘Now I just need it to cool and then I can begin work.’ Marcus thought as he sat down and focused.

The room was still incredibly hot, and this would keep the amethros from cooling as quickly as he would like. So, he used his chill zone ability and slowly cooled down the room that was nearly as hot as the surface of the sun.

‘It really is miraculous that anyone can work in these conditions. I can only do it because I am a ghost and have a natural resistance to extreme temperatures, but anyone that is flesh and blood probably needs all manner of skills, spells, and other magical gear to work in this kind of heat.

From what Marcus knew, Thabon was only able to work with the stuff because of a unique skill he had that practically made him immune to fire and heat, though also making him more vulnerable to the cold.

The room was soon at a more manageable temperature and the amethros with its absurdly high melting point which was several times greater than that of any metal on Earth had soon become solid again.

However, while things had cooled down, Marcus was now going to have to heat it up again in order to make the amethros moldable..

‘At least this time it will not have to be quite as hot.’ He thought as he started up the furnace again.

The thing ate through an exorbitant amount of mana from both him and the magic cores being used as fuel, and just running it for a few minutes cost thousands of gold coins in magic cores.

Time seemed to stand still for Marcus as he expanded all of his senses towards the amethros and waited for it to be at the proper temperature to be worked with.

When it finally reached that point, he swiftly took it out of the blazing furnace and placed the ingot on top of the amethros anvil.

Next, he took the amethros hammer that had been loaned to him by the kingdom and began hammering away as he molded the brightly glowing metal.

Crating a crown was far more intricate work than he normally did, but Marcus but his all in hammering away at the ingot as its shape slowly changed into the one he wanted.

‘Damn, I am running low on mana.’ Marcus thought after he had been at it for two hours straight.

Even his mana regeneration could not keep up with the intense expenditure that came with crafting amethros, and he had to momentarily leave the area to drink a couple of potions before continuing less the bottles break from the extreme heat.

Once he had recovered his mana, he went right back to work on forming the shape of Frostine’s crown.

‘This is harder than I thought it would be.’ Marcus thought as he rubbed his face.

He was used to making armor and weapons for the most part, and what other accessories he had made were normally bracelets of pendants that were much easier than the intricate design of this crown.

Still, he persevered not allowing this to stop him, and taking it as a learning experience to further his skills.

‘At the very least all of the equipment is top notch. If I was working at the Blazegram Forge this would have been even harder.’ Marcus thought as he was carefully cutting through the amethros to make it the shape that Frostine wanted.

A couple of days went by as he continued his work on the crown, and it took him nearly sixty hours to finally have created the base of the crown.

‘It is finally right.’ Marcus thought with a sigh of relief.

He had found making the crown to the exact details difficult, especially with how ornate it was going to be.

Unfortunately, the hardest part had yet to come, as he had to implant the magic core, along with elemental crystals, and then pack in a large number of powerful formations on the crown, before it was mostly completed.

‘I need a break.’

Moving to one corner of the room, Marcus took out a table and chair before sitting down.

Along with them he took out some wine and a few snacks he had in his item box for whenever he might need them.

‘Ah that is good.’ He thought while drinking some of the high-quality wine that Mrazivý had snuck out of the castle’s wine cellar.

Certainly, he had no need to consume anything, but he still got some enjoyment out of the taste, so it helped him to relax a bit after having been fully focused on his work for so long.

‘I underestimated how long this was going to take. The ring I made Mrazivý was way easier since it was basically just a cylinder, but this crown is so intricate to make that it is hurting my head.’

Lamenting the heavy task in front of him Marcus took another large drink of wine and then stuffed some snacks into his mouth and savored the taste.

Of course, other than the taste, the food and drink did nothing to or for him, and he still wondered where everything he might consumed ended up.

‘Well, if I meet with the administrator on more friendly terms again, I might be able to ask that.’ Marcus thought as he stored the table and chair away and went back to crafting Frostine’s crown.

The first thing he needed to do was implant the magic core that would serve as the foundation for all of the formations that would be etched into the crown.

Once that was done, he embedded a number of elemental crystals and precious gems into the crown in order to make it stronger and show off the wealth and power of the royal family.

After that he finally got started on etching in all of the formations, starting with the one that would allow for part of the crown to retract into itself and become a circlet instead.

It had taken him quite a bit to actually come up with this formation, using the one that allowed for pieces of armor to fold into a pendant as a base.

Along with that he had to make sure that this did not lessen the powers of the crown while it was in its form as a circlet which had been a whole other challenge.

Nevertheless, he had managed to create a suitable formation in the time in which the materials were being gathered by the kingdom.

‘That should do it.’ Marcus thought as he finished the last of the formations and connected the crown’s core to it.

Now all that was left to do was test it out and hope that everything worked, less he have to take it apart and start over again from scratch should it be less than perfect.
