Chapter 198: Two-headed Snake and Bomb Making<hr>
    We came back with Return, but the store was incredibly crowded. The reason seems to be a request to Hephaestus. It looks like everyone was able to get the iron ore safely.
    I healed Ix with the capsule and consulted with Wako about armor.
    "I think you can make a better robe by using the me wolf fur"
    "I''m sure you''re right. Then what to do with the wyrm skin and fire lizard skin...I''m thinking about shoes"
    "You can also use gloves"
    Wakos handmade gloves...I''m very happy, but there is a problem.
    "I''m d to hear it, but if I don''t use my bare hands, I''ll lose my feel for the sword..."
    "How would you like to use it? I think I''ll use wyrm skin for shoes and fire lizard skin for gloves"
    "Umm. Then, I''ll ask for that"
    "Yes"
    The rest is the mysterious squid ink sac. And a set of bomb materials...I''ll have to ask at the library or the alchemy guild.
    After I finished my secret consultation, I took the warp gate and moved to the front of Freetia. The reason for this was because I felt that if I went downstairs I would be asked to do something else.
    The first ce I went was the Beastmasters Guild. My goal was to summon a dolphin and do a synthetic summon. This is the third time I''ve done this, but I''m still a little ufortable. But if I get used to this, I''ll be screwed, so I''ll keep this feeling in mind.
    I summoned Seguro and Yasuri in the Synthetic Summoning Room first. Then we face each other in the Soul Corridor.
    So this is the corridor of souls that Boss Hix was talking about~
    There''s nothing here~. Are there no octopus?
    That was delicious, wasn''t it? Master, when you kill an octopus again, please take us with you. We''ll kill it
    Right! And I''ll make sure you get a great octopus dish
    Those two are such characters. You never know until you actually talk to them.
    "Both of you were such characters...well, I''ll keep the octopus thing in mind. However if Hix told you about it, you already know"
    Of course. You''re going to synthetic summon, right? But you don''t have to worry about our synthetic summon, right?
    "Hmm? What do you mean?"
    A Lesser Hydra that we will be will not lose its soul because our will is in each of its heads, even if it is synthetic summoned
    Wh, What...it doesnt mean I was worried about it!? Certainly, it seems strange that the soul will not be inherited if the number of heads increases.
    Master cares too much about everything, you know. You should live a more carefree life
    That''s right. But that''s the good thing about the Lord. He needs to take it easy, but keep the important things in mind. Especially cooking
    Seguro and Yasuri told me how to live...Yasuri''sst words were ruined.
    "All right"
    Then do it. The octopus is one thing, but that big imitator needs to be defeated
    Ah~. Seguro was killed by the moray eel.
    Eh~...I just told you to livefortably
    "I didn''t tell you this, but moray eel is delicious"
    Shaa! I''ll kill you!
    You''re in a good mood, aren''t you? But now that I''ve heard about it, I have to kill it and eat it. I''ll have to synthetic summon for that as well. Master
    "Ah. Is that okay? Both of you?"
    Anytime
    Alright
    Then, let''s do it.
    "Synthetic Summon!"
    The two of them became summoned stones and were sucked into the magic circle. Then, the two magic circles ovepped to form a purple magic circle, from which a giant two-headed snake was born.
    Give us a name. Master!
    I''ve already chosen a name. If you polish it, it will shine ck. I''ve decided to take the name from obsidian.
    "Your name is Dian!"
    Thank you for the good name. We are Dian. Let us destroy all of your enemies!
    "I''m counting on you... to keep up the good work"
    Haa!
    The soul corridor is released. I checked Dian''s status again.<hr>

    With this, the number of summoned beasts that can be summoned by me is 3.
    Oh~ you''re getting stronger! The first look is poison armor. This gave the skin a poisonous effect. Fear is what the dark summoner used on Lily. I think regeneration is the one I saw on the wood golem that heals.
    Long-rangebat is a barrage of poison breath. In closebat, you''re in a state of fear, then wrap around and bite with poison, adding deadly poison. Is there a recovery even if I resist?
    After finishing the synthetic summon, I could summon more things by list summon with the same momentum.
    <b>Shark</b>
    <b>Squid</b>
    <b>Octopus</b>
    <b>Dolphin</b>
    <b>Lizard</b>
    I''ll take the dolphin first...summon it!
    No reaction from the magic circle...
    I go to the library to find out how to make a bomb, feeling sad. I feelpletely like a terrorist.
    The ingredients were listed, but there were no instructions. Apparently, it''s not written down because it''s too dangerous.
    I arrived at the Alchemy Guild, myst resort. This ce also seemed to be underground. I talked to the receptionist.
    "Excuse me. I''d like to ask you something"
    "I''m sorry, but I can''t answer most of your questions"
    That''s...it''s a shame. As I was about to leave, I was approached by an old man I didn''t know.
    "Wait a minute. Would you like to have a word with this old man before you leave?"
    "Eh? No, time"
    Then the old man approached me and whispered in my ear.
    "I have an idea what you want. But I can''t talk to you here"
    This old man is not an ordinary man. I wish I could talk to him.
    "It''s all right"
    "Hoho. Then, let''s go"
    When I got downstairs, everyone was working hard on their alchemy.
    I pass through the workshop and arrive at the old man''s room.
    "Here we are"
    "Sorry to disturb you"
    When I entered the room, I found the same tools as in the workshop and some things I didn''t know.
    "It''s all right here. Now, what you want to know is how to make a bomb, right?"
    "Yes. It''s amazing"
    "No, it''s not. If you smelled gunpowder or bomb-making materials, people would notice. The guys at the reception desk are still novices"
    No, what do you mean with smell? I don''t know.
    "You know we''re a secretive bunch, right?"
    "Yes. And since the bomb is so dangerous, I don''t think it''s easy to tell"
    "That''s right. So here''s the deal"
    The old man issued a quest.
    <b>The request quest Pay the bomb materials has been issued</b>
    <b>Request Quest Pay the bomb materials Difficulty D</b>
    <b>Clear reward: How to make a bomb</b>
    <b>Deliver 10 each of explosive stones, gunpowder, flint and ignition grass.</b>
    Oh? I''ve cleared the requirements.
    "If you give me the bomb materials, I''ll teach you how to make a bomb. Will you ept?"
    "I ept. Then, this is it"
    As I took out the materials from my inventory, the old man looked up at the sky.
    "Ah~...I wasn''t expecting it...I''m getting old. How much do you have?"
    "About this much"
    When I brought out the materials, the old man was taken aback.
    "How did you manage to gather such precious materials where did you get them?"
    "It''s a secret"
    The old manughed when I said that.
    "You''re just trying to get back at me! You got me"
    "Emm...you know how to make a bomb..."
    "Oh! That''s right. Then, I''ll show you how to make one"
    The old man picked up the explosive stone.
    "This explosive stone is sensitive to impact. It''s the best material for bombs. First, I''ll change it into a round ball with a hole in it using the alchemy skill"
    The old man instantly transformed it into a bomb.
    "Put the gunpowder in the hole, roll the fuse and put it in the hole. Finally, use your alchemy skill toplete the process. This is the most basic method"
    "The other way is to use a flint, right?"
    "You know what I mean. That''s right. Flint has a tendency to produce sparks when they hit each other hard. That''s why you don''t need a fuse for this bomb"
    Oh! How convenient!
    "All you have to do is to put crushed flint in with the gunpowder. It will grow, but be careful that it will not explode unless it is impacted"
    Ah, I guess that doesn''t work for slime...I made a bomb under the old man''s guidance. Here''s what I came up with.
    <b>Ignition-type Bomb: Rarity 4 Bomb Quality D</b>
    <b>Attack Power: 200 Physical Destruction 1-time use</b>
    <b>Additional Effect: Burn</b>
    <b>This type of bomb is made by lighting a fuse and then detonating it.</b>
    <b>Note that the bomb will not explode if the fire is extinguished and it will also damage your allies when it explodes.</b>
    <b>Discharge Type Bomb: Rarity 4 Bomb Quality D</b>
    <b>Attack Power: 200 Physical Destruction 1-time use</b>
    <b>Additional Effect: Burn</b>
    <b>A type of bomb that explodes when given a strong impact.</b>
    <b>Note that it will not explode if the impact is weak and it also damages your allies when it explodes.</b>
    The attack power is high. But it''s disposable and considering it''s the equivalent of 10 weapon attacks, it''s not so subtle.
    "There are many different types of bombs. You should try them out"
    "Yes! Thank you very much"
    After returning home, I continued to make bombs as fast as the materials allowed. The girls brought me some of the food they had made and I got carried away. I felt like I had spent some quality time, but before I knew it, it was already midnight. I thanked the girls and logged out.<hr>
