[Full] The Villainess Just Wants to Live Quietly! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18

As soon as Askan’s condition improved, I devoted myself to solving the assignment Barnen had given me.

There was only one method to unlock a magic-engineered weapon—engraving an imprint—by dripping the caster’s blood onto the mana crystal, marking them as its master.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible to reset. One would simply need either the original owner of the magic-engineered weapon or the person who had crafted it.

I stared intently at the mana crystal bracelet on my wrist, lost in thought.

‘Was this item originally owned by someone else? Or will I be the first to imprint it?’

If it was a first imprint, I could just drip my blood onto the crystal right now. But if it already had an owner, the moment blood from someone other than the rightful master touched it, it would surely self-destruct.

Thus, with my life clearly not a game, I couldn’t recklessly drip my blood under uncertain circumstances.

Though I doubted Barnen, eccentric as he was, would actually endanger my life, I also couldn’t believe he’d assigned this task merely to test my luck on a fifty-fifty chance.

‘What exactly does my master expect from me?’

I had been practically buried in books, studying magic engineering all this time.

Especially after receiving the assignment, I paid even closer attention to the precautions one must take when crafting weapons with mana crystals.

As a result, although I’d never personally built a weapon before, I had already learned enough through self-study to understand the basics of crafting magic-engineered weapons.

The mana crystal bracelet I wore appeared exquisitely crafted on the surface, but inside—where the eye couldn’t see—complex magical formulas were densely inscribed.

‘The reason this mana crystal bracelet was made with cheap silver is probably because it requires the property of silver.’

If my guess was correct, since the mana crystal was yellow, it was highly likely to be of the Light attribute, and using silver—a metal compatible with cold properties—for the bracelet would help preserve its energy as long as possible.
