CHAPTER 587: CHAPTER 268: [SPACE STONE]

Candlelight City.

Textile Workshop.

This complex of buildings is specifically designated for Night Watchers with the secondary profession of "Tailor."

Under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department.

The person in charge of this department is undoubtedly the first Master of Sewing among the Night Watchers, Margery, who was specially invited by Kana and others from the Royal Capital of Cohen Kingdom to join the Night Watchers.

Even before the secondary profession "Tailor" emerged, Margery was already training apprentices and using her healed arms to skillfully wield her past skills.

Incidentally, she managed to raise her level through training to an extreme Level Three.

No one demands a higher level from her anymore.

However, even without combat, she can still utilize her contributions to exchange for Inscription Stones from the Headquarters "Bank."

The available Inscription Stones now range from Level Three to Level Five, with the Void Pit continuously producing them.

Many apprentices are also fighting there.

Once this Master of Sewing secured her position, the level of the secondary profession swiftly reached Level Seven.

Currently, in the largest weaving room, Margery, Bobo, and Kana are all present.

At this moment, someone pushes the door open.

"Sorry, I’m late," Maxim says as he enters.

"I just got here," Bobo responds.

He then turns to look at Margery.

Maxim also quickly steps over, standing beside Bobo to observe.

Margery is not distracted by the room’s situation, focusing intently on controlling the loom in front of her.

She occasionally uses her arms to adjust.

Seeing the loom in front of Margery, it’s evident that this equipment is worlds apart from those ordinary looms outside.

Even Maxim is somewhat surprised upon seeing this equipment.

It’s clearly a custom setup, tailored entirely to Margery’s habits, incorporating many new technologies.

He even notices a Level Five Inscription Stone at the rear.

Besides being used as Experience Stones, it can also serve as an energy source, and it’s incredibly pure.

This is essentially a reward from the world itself.

Yet, the shape of this Alchemy Equipment always gives off a bit of an odd feeling, as it resembles an animal.

How should I put it... It’s deliberately crafted like some kind of animal, almost like a piece of art.

Moreover, he recognizes it as a flower-tailed bird.

The most distinctive feature of a flower-tailed bird is its fluffy, beautifully long tail feathers.

After observing for a while, he’s certain that the creator of this Alchemy Textile Machine is likely Kana.

Although Maxim is a Mage specializing in magic research rather than Alchemy,

every Mage who’s not a Combat Mage is somewhat involved in Alchemy to some degree.

He’s no exception.

Thus, during simple experiments in the lab, he often sees Kana, frequently observing Kana creating animal-shaped puppets or spherical puppets.

He’s not seen much of Kana in combat, but he’s heard Kana uses puppets as aids in battle.

In his eyes, Kana’s puppets can be described as art.

They genuinely mimic animal forms.

This is actually Kana’s skill enhancement.

This is why help was given to Margery in creating her custom loom in animal shapes to benefit from the skill effects.

This misconception leads people to think Kana loves giving his creations animal forms.

Such rumors are quite popular among the Night Watchers.

At this moment, the Alchemy Machine is bustling, various threads being straightened and woven under Margery’s operation into fabric.

You can see magic power flowing into the threads through the machine.

Only then does Maxim notice that the textile threads used are ninety percent spider silk.

These aren’t ordinary spider silks; they’re high-grade threads from the Spider Breeding Farm.

It’s said that Kana personally led people to conquer it, producing threads with strong magic conductivity.

Suddenly, the machine stops.

Margery wipes sweat from her forehead.

In front of her is a small woven pouch roughly the size of a palm, in a grayish-white hue.

Maxim blinks.

He sees substantial residual magic on the pouch, some of which have already formed into lines attached to the surface.

Although there’s no special effect, Maxim understands the process.

Slightly surprised, he says, "Is this pouch the base material for a piece of Space Equipment?"

Kana turns to look at him, nodding slightly.

"Of course, it’s very suitable, isn’t it?"

This comment prompts Maxim to nod; it was its suitability that made it obvious to him.

"The ’Tailor’ secondary profession can produce Space Equipment?" Maxim is somewhat astonished.

"Impossible, it’s not that easy," Bobo interrupts directly at the side.

"Think about why both of us are here."

Then Kana says, "Not just us, another person is late."

As he finishes speaking, a wave of energy is sensed.

The wave is very subtle, only the three of them in the room feel it.

When they sense it, the door is already being pushed open.

A cool, youthful voice is heard.

"Sorry, sorry, I’m late. Just discussing orders in the Royal City."

Entering to explain is none other than Shalika.

The head of the Trading House.

She’s perhaps the only one who can claim to have been in the Royal Capital just now and arrive at Candlelight City right away.

Maxim and Bobo look at Shalika’s arrival and immediately understand Kana’s plan.

Kana straightforwardly asks, "We’ll leave the lateness aside; is your level up to par?"

Shalika nods, wiping sweat from her forehead: "Mission accomplished, barely reached Level Five."

"What Level Five?" Bobo is somewhat confused.

"Carving, what else could it be?" Shalika asks in confusion, not understanding why Bobo would ask such a question.

Upon hearing this, Maxim nods slightly, fully grasping the situation.

"So, you’ve already explored a Rune Stone with spatial power?"

Maxim and Bobo were originally Mages, scholarly types.

Since the meeting, they’ve been compiling magical materials, collecting, translating, and organizing them.

Incidentally, they’ve also been enhancing their level in "Carving."

The profession "Carving" is currently a bit awkward, lacking sufficient runes to carve.

Apart from the few given early on, the rest are skills to assist Night Watchers in better discovering distinctive runes.

Like forging, aiding and supporting forging.

As for what weapons and armor to craft, it depends on one’s own ability and knowledge.

When carving reaches Level Five,

there’s a skill to better explore the power of runes, initially unlocking the most accessible deep-seated forces.
