The carving of the magic circle is like the growth of a great tree; it needs a trunk, it needs branches, it needs leaves, and it cannot do without the roots below.

When Su Yao was making weapons, she always "paid attention to one end but neglected the other." The things she drew either had well-developed roots but no branches or leaves, or they were lush with branches and leaves but had shriveled roots.

Percy shook his head and rejected the new thing Su Yao had just drawn: "No, if we use something like this, it will quickly consume all the energy in the magic ore, and we won't be able to attack more than a few times."

"More practice is needed."

Percy's words made Su Yao stay in the weapon shop for three days. During these three days, except for eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom, Su Yao did not leave the weapon shop. Percy, who initially stayed with her the whole time, eventually reduced his visits to just a few hours each day.

In recent days, Bernice had also created many new works inspired by Ya. There were weapons in the shape of glittering, delicate wings, small green ribbon-shaped weapons, and even a weapon that could record Ya's singing.

This weapon that records songs, Su Yao had heard Bernice mention it during a meal. Its function is somewhat like a tape recorder, but it can have magical effects.

Ya's magic is light-based healing. If this weapon can be made, in future battles, it might be possible to stand nearby and play songs, making it convenient to heal allies.

On the afternoon of the third day, while Su Yao was practicing for the fifty-seventh time, she finally experienced a moment of enlightenment. Her brush moved as if guided by a divine hand, and she instantly drew the desired patterns on the weapon.

Percy happened to be nearby as well, and he saw the entire process of Su Yao's drawing.

Receiving such an excellent disciple, Percy couldn't help but have his eyes light up again and again. "Very good! You've already succeeded in the most difficult step. Once you've succeeded once, this most difficult step won't be so hard anymore in the future!"

Su Yao suddenly transitioned from failure to success, feeling a bit unaccustomed. After showing it to Percy, she herself read it over and over again several times.

"It really worked!" Su Yao shook off her physical and mental exhaustion, stood up, and went out. "Staff! Come quickly! It worked!"

At this moment, only Felix was in the inn, and Ya was resting. The others had gone out to gather mushrooms. After the rain cleared, mushrooms sprang up wildly from the ground. The three Peng brothers, having heard Bernice say they were delicious and recalling the taste of the restaurant's mushroom soup, dragged Zhan Xing along with them.

However, even though the hotel now only had Felix, Su Yao's desire to share her joy was not diminished in the slightest.

Felix took the half-finished weapon from Su Yao's hand and examined it carefully. "Congratulations! It's very good."

Su Yao nodded with a radiant smile, "You think it's pretty good too, right?"

"Yes."

"Hahaha, I finally did it! I can finally take a break!" Although she hadn't slept much these past few days, constantly being in the weapons workshop was still too much for Su Yao.

Previously, she didn't feel too tired because she had told herself many times that she would rest after finishing one more drawing. This belief had kept her going until now.

Now, she had finally succeeded. Su Yao had received affirmation from both her master and Felix. She truly felt the exhaustion behind the joy.

Felix was very close to Su Yao, and he could clearly see the dark circles under her eyes and her weary expression.

Felix raised his hand and placed the index finger of his right hand on Su Yao's forehead, saying, "Close your eyes."

Su Yao was puzzled, but she trusted Felix, so she instinctively closed her eyes. Before Su Yao could ask, Felix's magic took effect. A flash of pale purple magical energy quickly flowed from his fingertips into Su Yao's body. She immediately felt a cool breeze sweep through her mind, invigorating her spirit and banishing her fatigue!

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

If the recent joy was like a painkiller that allowed Su Yao to momentarily forget her fatigue, then Felix's magical energy was like a side-effect-free stimulant that completely transformed Su Yao's body into a perfect state!

"Is this your magical energy?"

Felix's fingertips left Su Yao's forehead, and in the next second, Su Yao opened her eyes. Her bright eyes reflected Felix's appearance, and only then did Su Yao realize that it was the first time she had seen Felix's magical energy, and the first time she had been face-to-face with Felix at such close range.

Felix blinked, suppressing a strange emotion. He answered Su Yao's question, "Yes, the magic of the succubus clan is completely opposite to that of the elf clan. Ya's magic is of the light element, while mine is of the dark night element."

"So that's how it is. What special function does the Dark Night system have?"

"What special effect?" Su Yao's question was quite peculiar. Percy heard it as soon as he came out and curiously joined in.

Felix hesitated for a moment before shaking his head: "Actually, there's no special assignment. It's quite similar to the five-element magic attributes, and there's no healing involved. The reason I could wake you up quickly just now is because the dark night element is related to the night, containing the coolness of the evening. Besides the dark night element, the water element can do this as well."

Su Yao expressed that she had learned something new again. These spells not only have unique characteristics in terms of attack and defense but also have distinctive features in daily life.

……

In the evening, the group of people who had gone out returned.

Bernice saw Su Yao and immediately smiled, "Seeing you outside, I assume you've succeeded, right?"

"Shiniang guessed correctly." Su Yao handed the work to Bernice to see.

Bernice put down what she was holding and, like Felix, examined it very carefully. "Not bad, you really have talent. Keep working hard. Finish your first piece under your master's guidance, and then the next one should be more challenging in terms of shape. Holding a cube is quite uncomfortable..."

Bernice made everyone around her burst into laughter.

The three Peng brothers also put down their things and reached out to take a look. Although they didn't understand, they were no less earnest in their observation than the others.

Peng Er, with a face full of infatuation, asked Su Yao, "Boss, I don't want any salary for the rest of my life. Can you customize one for me too?"

Peng San also nodded: "Boss, I want one too! I can usually earn some extra money, and I'll give it all to you when the time comes."

But Peng Er was not happy when he heard this. He nudged Peng San and said, "How can you disrupt the market price like that? How can you target your brother? I just finished speaking, and you immediately lowered the price! How despicable!"

"Boss, I can also go out and earn some extra money. I won't keep a single cent; I'll give it all to you!" Peng Er raised his hand to show his stance.

Peng San was scolded by his brother, feeling aggrieved, but he kept talking: "Boss, I really want a weapon!"

Peng Yi had stolen weapons he could use, but Peng Er and Peng San had to rely entirely on their own strength in battle, which is why the two of them were so anxious.

Su Yao's eyes curved into a smile as she began to paint a rosy picture for her employees: "Everyone will get one, I won't forget any of you! As long as I can successfully make it, each of you will definitely get one!"

"I can do it too!" Percy added with a smile. "Anyway, I'm just idle, so I can do it as well."

A master-level weaponsmith also needs to practice to maintain their touch and must continuously learn. Even in the Misty Forest, Percy would not slack off or be lazy.

Hearing what Su Yao and Percy said, the three Peng brothers cheered happily.

Excitement caused Peng Er's freshly washed face to quickly turn red. His eyes darted around as he suddenly had an idea: "Can we each get two? We want the ones made by the boss, and we also want the ones made by the boss's master!"

"That's really greedy," Peng Yi couldn't help but blush, glaring fiercely at his younger brother. Then he said to Su Yao and Percy, "Don't listen to his nonsense. We don't need so many things, one is enough. We're not that greedy."

Outside, a master-level weapon couldn't be obtained without a fortune, yet Peng Er wanted it all.

Percy patted Peng Yi on the shoulder: "It's okay, I just said, we have nothing else to do anyway. We're all on the same side, a few weapons are nothing! Just let me know what kind you want, and I'll have my wife draw up some blueprints, then I'll make them for you."

"I'll make you defensive weapons, the kind that can save your life in critical moments. Let your boss make you offensive weapons, that way there won't be any conflict."

The three Peng brothers were deeply moved, their eyes brimming with tears as they looked at Percy and Su Yao.

This time Peng Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "Fortunately, we chose to abandon the darkness for the light, otherwise how could life be this joyful!"

"Yes, yes, after coming to the inn, not only my mind but even my body feels clean."

"In just a month, Big Brother has gained weight, and Second Brother isn't so crazy anymore. We really came to the right place!"

After the three brothers finished their emotional reflections, Peng San got beaten up.

Su Yao and Percy entered the weapon shop again.

The second step was successful, and the remaining steps were simple. They could finish making the weapon tonight, so neither the master nor the apprentice had any intention of delaying until the next day.

The magic ore was embedded, the shell was closed, and the weapon was complete.

The cool, square object was placed on the testing device Percy had taken out. After a few seconds, the device produced a result: Level One Metal Element.

As Percy had predicted with the naked eye.

"Not bad, not bad. Tomorrow, take half a day off. Let Peng Yi take this cube out for a test. If there are no issues, we can start making the second one in the afternoon."

"Good!"

Su Yao had already planned it out. In the next couple of days, she would study the forms, and then she would be almost ready to challenge the second and third-level weapons. If everything went smoothly, she could complete the fourth-level weapon from the mission by the end of the month.

I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

Northern Weapon Town

"Where did Cheng Xi go?" The soldier searching for him was furious. "What's the use of having you around! There are only three master-level weapon smiths, just three, and you can't even keep an eye on them! Now he's gone, how am I supposed to explain this to Count Adams?"

The subordinate who was being scolded also had a look of despair: "Sir, why don't you just kill me and take my head to report back."

"Is your head of any use? If it is, then I can offer mine too!"

"What is all this about? What happened?" Count Adams walked over upon hearing the argument. "You've only been in charge here for a few days and you're already causing a scene?"

The moment the soldier heard the sound, his legs gave way, and he fell to his knees, his face ashen with despair.

Sure enough, Earl Adams was furious after hearing the report. He immediately ordered his soldiers and subordinates to be dragged out and executed, and issued a kill order for Percy and Bernice.

At this moment, Percy and Bernice were just about to lie down when they both sneezed simultaneously. Percy mumbled, "Is someone cursing me?"

Bernice rubbed her nose: "It's possible, it could be those counts cursing, or maybe the peers from the weapon town..."

"They can curse all they want, what does it have to do with me, Percy! When you're out and about, you still need to use a code name!"
