Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

This is no different from the RPG games that Meiko Anten usually plays.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 29: Purchasing Equipment

Since magical equipment and magic are divided into levels, this is easy to deal with. You just need to look at the rarity of the materials used to make the equipment, plus the level of the magic engraved on it.

The result was that the selling price of this store directly exceeded her expectations. Perhaps there was no shortage of people who could buy these things, but for Meiko Ando, ​​there was no need for that.

After another round, she finally left the store without buying anything.

Although Beth has relevant knowledge about many aspects of the human and demon races, her insights into equipment are far inferior, because creating high-level equipment is actually the patent of the human race and the neutral race dwarves.

The demons are warlike and make a living by fighting. All their evolutions are based on fighting and they are not good at making weapons, so many of the demons' equipment are directly snatched from humans.

So Beth did not express her opinions on this matter as usual, for fear of influencing and interfering with Ando Meiko's choice.

Meiko Ando looked around again, and finally found a very strange blacksmith's house in a conspicuous place in confusion.

The reason why it is conspicuous is that it is located next to the largest equipment store, and the other blacksmith shops around it are often visited by people, but this one is empty, which creates a huge contrast.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. It is either very bad or very good... The thought flashed through Ando Meiko's mind. She said goodbye to Beth and walked into the blacksmith shop together.

There is an empty counter in this store, and the surrounding tables and walls are filled with various weapons and equipment, even armor is sold in sets.

The sound of "clang clang clang" of blacksmithing came from the inner room. Ando Meiko, who had watched a variety show about making cold weapons in her own world, knew that she should not disturb them easily at this time, so she did not call anyone, but waited quietly.

Most of the items casually placed on the table are ordinary to high-end items, but the manufacturing process of these items is more exquisite than the largest specialty store next door, and they seem to be a work of art.

But the price tag was quite disappointing. A high-level sword without any attributes actually required a large gold coin to purchase.

One large gold coin is enough to buy a piece of top-grade equipment with the most basic enchantment next door. It is no wonder that this store is completely deserted with such a high price.

As for those hanging on the wall, they are all fine products. With the experience just now, Ando Meiko can already tell from the appearance that these are all top-grade goods, and two of them are even rare.

Meiko Ando walked to the only two rare spears and gently stroked them with her hands. She suddenly had an idea and immediately activated her magic power to cast her innate magic "Arsenal".

After a flash of light, something appeared in her mind. Wasn't that exactly what the two spears looked like? The armory had successfully copied the two guns, just as she had imagined.

The "arsenal" in her memory already had this ability, but her own world did not have any valuable cold weapons for her to try.

In fact, the weapons copied in the "arsenal" are more than just the Flame Demon series, but she and the Sky Flame Dragon made a blood pact, and later even inherited the Sky Flame Dragon's bloodline, and had a natural affinity for fire. After she got used to the Flame Demon series of weapons, she no longer projected any weapons except the Rainbow Bow.

The characteristics of the two guns soon emerged in her mind. The spear named Lei Zhe had a magic transmission efficiency of 50% and was engraved with the magic of Thunder Flash.

The other one is called Bingpo, which has a magic transmission efficiency of 52% and is engraved with magic black ice spikes.

"Don't touch it if you don't want to buy it. Little girl, don't you even know this basic etiquette?"

The rude voice attracted Ando Meiko's attention and made her turn to look at the open door of the inner room. However, she was not angry because of the words, but laughed out loud.

"It's not that I don't want to buy it, but the equipment here is really too expensive. Although the craftsmanship is amazing and unmatched, the price-performance ratio is too low."

The reason why she was so excited was nothing else but because the person who walked out of the door was a burly man with bulging muscles all over his body, a dwarf.

"Hmph, you don't know the value of this thing. If you don't want to buy it, then get out. I don't have the time to entertain two unknown guests." After issuing the order to expel the guests, the dwarf turned around and wanted to close the door and return to the inner room.

Meiko Ando couldn't help but find it funny. These dwarves were indeed very confident and arrogant about the equipment they made, just like what was described in many other-world novels she had read.

I really don’t know if those authors have personally traveled to another world, and then returned to their own world and wrote the novel based on their own experiences.

But no matter how much fun she had, if Ando Meiko didn't keep the dwarf now, she would probably be disappointed and have to wait until next time.

"Don't I know what's good? Then take a look at what this thing is." Ando Meiko grabbed the air, and the arsenal plus projection magic was released. Instantly, the magic power condensed into an object, and a Flame Demon Sword appeared in her hand.

Arrogant people must be defeated with their arrogance. Since he thinks he is invincible, tell him that there is always someone better than you.

Through the information in the armory, Ando Meiko learned that the Fire Demon series of weapons was a legendary set created by a master craftsman-level dwarf with his life's work. This was enough to shock the arrogant dwarf in front of her.

As expected, after hearing Ando Meiko's words, the dwarf was still muttering a second ago: "What good things can this little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old come up with?"

The next second, when he raised his head and saw the Flame Demon Sword in Ando Meiko's hand with contempt, an unparalleled brilliance immediately burst out of his contemptuous eyes.

"Oh my god! Legendary? And it's made by us dwarves? Which master craftsman is it?!" He cursed roughly, and his short body immediately jumped over the entire counter.

After snatching the Flame Demon Sword from Ando Meiko's hand, he began to caress her as if she were a peerless beauty, unable to let go.

Meiko Ando didn't care. The Flame Demon Sword was projected by her through the weapons library and shaped by magic. If she wanted to take it back, she only needed to think about it.

"Both the techniques and workmanship are top-notch, and there are even lost forging skills... Is this... an array within an array? Could it be..." The dwarf's sudden panic aroused the interest of Meiko Ando and Beth.

He searched around and finally found the maker's signature at the bottom.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible... Ostor, the genius dwarf craftsman, died five thousand years ago. His works were completely destroyed in a great war. How could they possibly appear in the hands of a human?!"

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 30: I Can Do Anything

"Osto?" Meiko Ando chewed on the name. She didn't expect that she could learn the name of the creator of the Flame Demon series of weapons from the dwarf's mouth.

No one could have imagined that this creator was actually the dwarf master craftsman of this world, and a legendary figure who was active five thousand years ago.

"No... I remember that ancient books record that he once devoted all his energy and spared no expense to create a set of legendary weapon series, which was used as a sacrifice to the Fire Dragon God..."

He was like a mental patient, sometimes muttering to himself, sometimes shouting like crazy, completely ignoring Ando Meiko and the others.

"The Fire Demon series. Oh, yes, that set is the Fire Demon series... After completing this, he lost all his energy and retired from worldly affairs."

This state lasted for more than ten minutes, and Ando Meiko seemed a little annoyed. She did not let the dwarf continue. With a thought, she immediately revoked the projection magic, causing the Flame Demon Sword in his hand to turn into magic power and completely dissipate.

"Eh? It's gone? Why is it gone? No, don't! Come back soon!" He shouted again and stretched out his hand to catch the dissipating red magic, but how could he possibly catch the magic?

After a while, the dwarf finally sat down on the ground dejectedly. With this dejected look, how could he look like the rebellious person who had just insulted Ando Meiko and the others for not knowing what they were doing?

He seemed to have thought of something and sat up again, looking at Ando Meiko with burning eyes: "Why, why do you have the Flame Demon Sword in your hand?"

"I have more than just the Flame Demon Sword." Ando Meiko smiled slightly, and her magic power suddenly condensed. A bunch of different weapons, but all with flame patterns, appeared in front of the dwarf, whose eyes were about to pop out.

The Flame Demon Dagger, the Flame Demon Sword, the Flame Demon Knife, the Flame Demon Spear, the Flame Demon Halberd, the Flame Demon Wheel, the Flame Demon Lance, and the Flame Demon War Spear, a total of eight weapons appeared out of thin air. These are all the weapons in the Flame Demon series.

"So beautiful, so beautiful! All the weapons in the Flame Demon series!"

"Just to remind you, this is a projection I made from my innate magical weapon arsenal. Although it's almost the same as the real thing, it's also..."

"No, this is the real thing!" the dwarf affirmed firmly, "Your arsenal must be the Fire Dragon God's innate magic, right? That makes sense."

When Osto gave this entire set of Fire Demon weapons to the Sky Flame Dragon Vita as a sacrifice, Vita simply ate all the weapons and put them into the arsenal as the absolute genuine ones.

Otherwise, why is it that only the Flame Demon series of weapons can retain more than 90% of their strength, and why, even though they are condensed with magic power, they have the same aura as the originals?

The arsenal does have the ability to copy cold weapons with just the user's touch, but this copy can only exert 60% to 70% of the original power or characteristics.

However, if the real thing is sacrificed directly, the replica of the arsenal will be infinitely close to perfection, creating a perfect projection with more than 90% and less than 100% of the power.

It was also for this reason that the moment the dwarves saw the Fire Demon Sword, they knew that these were absolutely authentic.

"Study it for me. Let me observe and study all of this. I agree to all your conditions. I will do anything!" The dwarf kept begging.

Seeing his persistence, Ando Meiko nodded and agreed to his request, then made her own request: "Take out the best equipment in your shop. I want to equip Beth with a complete set of mage equipment. Remember to make sure the price is cheap."

"No problem, no problem. I don't have anything here except equipment. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Como from the dwarf clan."

"My name is Meiko Ando, ​​and this is Ulberth."

The dwarf Como looked at Ando Meiko, then paused his gaze on Beth: "What a strange name. And that little girl is from the Silver Fox clan among the demons, right?"

Seeing the dwarf reveal Beth's identity, Ando Meiko asked in confusion: "How did you know?"

"Although you've concealed your appearance well, your aura and scent are truly undisguised. I don't know why you brought a demon to a human city, but with so many adventurers here, she wouldn't be able to hide if someone wanted to investigate."

Ando Meizi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she bowed slightly to Cuomo: "Thank you for your advice."

"Follow me." He walked into the back room with all the weapons in his hands, then rummaged around and pressed a mechanism to open a hidden wall.

There was no secret passage inside the dark wall, only an inconspicuous-looking treasure chest. When the dwarf opened the treasure chest, a complete set of equipment was neatly placed inside.

A faint breath floated out, and even Meiko Ando was moved by it.

This level of magical fluctuations surpassed the special-grade equipment she had just seen, but the difference wasn't too far off. "Could it be a special-grade equipment set?"

"Good eyesight. I take back what I said about you not knowing the value of things, and I apologize for it." Cuomo's tone was no longer as impatient as when they first met, but instead he sounded sincere and wanted to make friends.

Ando Meiko naturally wouldn't refuse the chance to gain the friendship of a dwarf, and immediately asked, "What are the functions of this equipment? How much does it cost?"

Cuomo explained step by step to Meiko Ando and Beth who was standing quietly behind her.

This women's cloth armor set is named Rainbow, and consists of eight parts: a hat, a cloak, a top, inner armor, a skirt, a pair of long boots, a magic wand, and a magic wand.

It was crafted from various parts of a level 6 insectoid monster. Each part was inscribed with a level 5 spell as a foundation, and the wand's magic amplification efficiency had reached 30%.

The most important thing is that this cloth armor set also has an equipment special effect. While speeding up the recovery of magic power, it can also store some magic power.

Although this stored magic power cannot be mobilized directly, it can be actively used to copy the magic that you have just released. The maximum amount of magic power cannot exceed level 7.

Each piece of equipment in this set is of special grade, but the combined set capability far exceeds the benefits that can be brought by epic grade equipment.

After explaining, Como's eyes sparkled as he studied the Balrog series in his hand, humming, "No charge, I'll give it to you. Consider it my research fee. You don't have to refuse. In my opinion, the qualification to research Balrog weapons is indeed worth the price. If you feel bad about it, then consider it a friendship."

Ando Meiko, who originally didn't want to take advantage, had no choice but to give up after hearing this. Since the other party wanted to do her a favor, she had no choice but to go along with it.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 31: Special Suit "Rainbow"

After receiving the special suits made by the dwarf Como, Beth expressed her most sincere gratitude to both of them, but they didn't care about it.

Cuomo gave away the special suit purely for his own benefit, while Ando Meiko's personality made her give to her friends without asking for anything in return.

In order to help Beth get used to the effects of the special suit as quickly as possible, Ando Meiko took Beth to rent a training ground in the center of Soul City.

This special suit is very magical. All eight components are engraved with level 5 magic. This magic engraved on the equipment does not require chanting, and can be used directly by simply injecting magic power.

Convenience, power, suddenness, there are so many benefits of engraving magic, and it is precisely for this reason that high-level magical equipment is so sought after.

In the special suit, the hat has a level 5 mental attribute auxiliary magic "Thinking Acceleration", the outer garment has a level 5 gold attribute defense magic "Indestructible Body", the cloak has a level 5 wind attribute magic "Floatation", and the skirt has a level 5 light attribute healing magic "Holy Light".

There are also level 5 wind attribute magic on the left and right boots, one is "light body" and the other is "jet", which can be combined with the "floating" magic on the cloak to form a set of flying magic.

The magic wand has an instantaneous level 5 lightning-attribute attack magic "Thunder Strike", but for Beth, the most important thing is the level 5 wood-attribute magic "Hide" on the inner armor.

This magic can completely cover up her breath and smell. In addition, she has also learned the human language. In this way, no matter who sees her, they will only think that she is a human girl.

Through observation using the Fishing Radar, Ando Meiko also discovered something, that is, in addition to the weapons, the seven pieces of cloth armor on the body will each guide out magic threads to connect with each other when they are in effect.

This connection is imperceptible to the naked eye, but Ando Meiko can see it clearly through detection magic. Aren't those silk threads composed of the words that Ando Meiko had seen before?

A suit is a suit. It can be cleverly differentiated into various parts and then recombined into a whole in this way.

If a Word Spirit is placed on a single part, the Word Spirit itself will act on the equipment, affecting the original use of the equipment and the activation of the engraved magic.

However, the overall effect of the words activated in this way acts directly on the human body. While not affecting the operation of the equipment itself, it can also give the user additional words abilities.

The set grants Beth two kinds of Word Spirits: one is a 20% mana recovery speed, and the other is a Mirror Flower and Water Moon that can copy the user's last magic.

Feeling the magic of the combined word spirit, a thought suddenly flashed through Ando Meiko's mind. If she could only grasp it, the problem that had been bothering her for so long would be solved...

Unfortunately, this thought was fleeting, and she ultimately failed to capture it. She could only let it slip away and sigh.

"What's wrong, Meizi? Is there a defect in this suit?"

"No." Ando Meiko shook her head and praised without reservation, "This is probably the best thing I have ever seen."

The world she lives in only has technology, but it is impossible to create the magical equipment unique to this world through technology because there are no large numbers of monsters and mineral materials, and no one knows how to do it.

Having personally experienced the magic of the special suit, Ando Meiko really wants to become Como's apprentice and let him teach her how to make equipment in this world.

Of course, now is not the time to talk about this. She still has unfinished things to work on. The most important thing at the moment is to remember her unfulfilled promises and find her way home.

"Alright." Ando Meiko smiled faintly and said, "Beth, feel free to attack me."

"Eh?" Beth was stunned, then immediately understood Ando Meiko's intention and plan, "Is it really okay? What if I get hurt..."

"Did you forget that I still have the healing magic on your suit? Don't worry, just do your best."

Practice is always the best way to test the results. If you want to completely adapt to the increase brought by "Rainbow" in a short period of time, you must have an opponent who is strong but not without oppression, and who knows how to show mercy.

Meiko Ando is naturally the best candidate.

She spent the entire afternoon sparring with Beth. Beth was indeed a genius possessing five attributes, and the combination of the attributes gave rise to even more unique uses and combat effectiveness.

Even Ando Meiko was helpless against this kind of entanglement for a while. After hurting the opponent, she could only attack again after defending herself.

Beth's original combat power was very strong, and now with the enhancement of the special suit "Rainbow", her combat power has doubled. If she had this suit when fighting against the Cyclops, she probably would not need the support of Ando Meiko and could win by herself.

In Ando Meiko's world, that thing is comparable to the top-level demon-level Void Beast, and it is also a top-level demon-level beast that can use magic. In comparison, it is only stronger, not weaker.

It was not until nightfall that Beth lay down panting. She no longer had the magic and spirit to support the fight. Although she had indeed mastered the abilities of the suit through the simulated battle, she once again realized how powerful Ando Meiko was.
