Hoaaamm.... What should I do today, Dad?
Experiment, I don't know what else to do.
Magic training, again males.
On the streets, I've finished exploring all parts of the North, East, and West. Just the rest of the South.
But I've asked Glaza to cheat and he's dead. It hasn't been past five minutes. When he got up again, he nodded and did not want to go there again.
In conclusion, I'm still not ready to go.
Hm... Oh, I haven't told you what's been going on this week.
In short, I have lived my life well. I had even contracted two more owls using [Summoning Magic] and placed them under the auspices of Glaza.
I didn't give them names because it was troublesome.
My [Alchemy] activity has also increased by leaps and bounds. Experimental subjects are very useful for the pursuit of knowledge.
As a result, I have many Potion stocks that have different effects.
"Master, I'm back"
Ohhh... Here is my most precious master.
Lif, my most useful servant.
He cleaned the house. His cooking is very good. Thanks to him I can also know when the day when the night.
In short, she was the best servant I could get.
I became curious. Who was the genius who created this masterpiece. Of course, it was me!
"Master, I have a report"
"Oh, say"
I see, so I do, it's fitting that I don't find any Adventurers who enter this forest again. It seems to have been closed.
That Headmaster, he could.
Then, about the request...
"Tell them, I refuse!"
It's good to steal from my territory. If they dare to enter, hell is what they will get.
Never mind, it's not important business. It's also not urgent, so I ordered Lif to relay my answer during my next visit to the city.
...
In front of me now was a bronze cauldron.
If we're talking about witches, there must be a cauldron, right?
Of course this cauldron was just an ordinary cauldron at the moment. It was not a magic cauldron that could be used to create a wide variety of items using [Alchemy] like in games or stories.
But it won't be long!
I've learned how to create an Alchemy Formation.
Moreover, what I learned was a higher technique than what I have now.
Exceedingly... With my incredible intelligence and genius, I managed to create a much more advanced Alchemy Formation.
Well, I almost blew myself up so many times. But not as much as a light bulb, so this is worth being proud of.
Now, I will carve the Alchemy Formation I created on the inside of the cauldron. More precisely I carved out each side until there was no empty space left.
The Alchemy Formation I created is very complex.
If this was the old me, I would definitely assume that this carving was just a mere child's graffiti.
Now, stage two.
I re-carved the outside of the cauldron. This time what I engraved was a Magic Formation. Of course, this is also my own creation.
After I finished, the cauldron in front of me seemed to be filled with strange but beautiful carvings.
Seeing this I feel satisfied.
All right, to the altar!
"Master, forgive your servant's question. But, why did Master have to undress?"
"It's none of your business. Just shut up and look!"
The cauldron is already on the altar.
The torch is lit.
The preparations are ready.
Now, it's time to dance.
...
..
.
Where flows back into my body like a calm river. Even though my eyes were closed, I still knew where to go. Even though my ears were open, I couldn't hear anything. Even though I was not wearing anything, I felt like I was being wrapped by strands of silk.
Faintly, I could feel that the flames on the torch were burning with a blazing bluish flame.
The fire danced in the air before finally enveloping the cauldron that was in the middle of the altar.
"Creation containers, knowledge containers"
"Basic foundation, final foundation"
"In my name, go to a higher place"
After a very bright light came out from the altar. It's all done.
The one on the altar now was no longer an ordinary bronze cauldron.
Now, standing on the altar was a silver cauldron with beautiful intricate carvings engraved all over the surface of the cauldron.

«Alchemy : Large» «Enchant Item : Large»
A cauldron specially designated as a tool in [Alchemy]. Any material that was put into it would definitely turn into an extremely valuable item.
As I expected. My genius has no limits.
The moment I touched this cauldron, even though there was no flame burning, the surface of this cauldron felt warm.
As I streamed my Mana to him, a swirl of starry clouds emerged from within the cauldron.
"Haha. once again, a masterpiece"
...
After putting it in the fireplace in my work place, I immediately tried to make use of this new cauldron.
The upshot...
Same thing, no change.
Hm... Other than the much more practical and fun way of making it, there was no meaningful change to the resulting item.
All right, forget it.
"What, intruders?"
Apparently one of the patrolling Golems discovered the presence of an intruder in the Eastern forest.
I immediately sent one of my servants to check on him. Not long after, I immediately used (Vision Sharing).
"Ohh... Bandit! There are 16!"
Haha... How dare they enter my territory.
I'll show them what the consequences are if they dare to enter someone else's territory without permission.
...
...
...
"Well... Huh... Huh... Have we escaped?"
"Fucking othersworlder!"
"Bosses... Let's just rest here"
A burly man who was summoned as Boss looked towards his already extremely exhausted subordinates.
They were initially robbing the passing merchants as usual. Until finally a group of Otherworlders showed up and disrupted their plans.
If this was just an ordinary Adventurer, they would definitely choose to fight until the end. It was just that their opponent this time was an Otherworlder who could not die.
Even if they were to be killed though, wait a few days they would definitely rise again.
As a result, of the 20 members now only 16 remain.
"Alright, we'll rest here for a few days"
Hearing their Boss' orders, they immediately fell down on the ground without caring about soiling their bodies.
Naturally, they had been running non-stop until they finally reached the Ibis Forest.
For some reason, but the Otherworlder who was chasing them immediately stopped right at the entrance of the forest.
"Why do you think they stopped chasing?"
"Where do I know, they obviously look scared"
"Hey, I heard that there's a Witch who showed up in the city. Is it possible that she lives here?"
"Don't joke! It's just another Otherworlder"
It's only natural that they think that way.
After the Otherworlders came, many of them were dressed and behaved strangely. One that is often found is Otherworlder who imitates a Witch.
Thanks to that, the moment one looked at the Witch, they would look twice to ascertain whether it was a real Witch or just an Otherworlder.
Unfortunately for them, this time they were only half right and half wrong.
Whoo! Whoo!
Right after hearing that voice, the entire bandit who had originally fallen on the ground woke up simultaneously.
The Boss who was sitting relaxed while leaning against the tree trunk immediately woke up while tightly grasping a Greatsword that became his pride.
They all look around. Look for sources of noise that interfere with their rest.
"Above!"
Instantly, everyone looked in the same direction.
There, on top of a tree trunk, there is a (Forest Owl) who is perched with a rest.
The eyes (Forest Owl) looked down on the bandits from the top of the tree.
Seeing this, some of the bandits let out a sigh of relief while saying "I guess what's wrong" however, the Boss with his sharp eyes realized that the (Forest Owl) had an emblem on his chest.
A pupil with three horns.
"Tch, Familiar. All of them! Ready combat!"
Along with the Boss' warning, a pitch-black smoke appeared suddenly and blocked their view.
"Take the circular formation!"
Like an experienced commander, the Boss ordered his men to turn their backs on each other and look around.
They're like that for a few minutes.
By the time the smoke began to thin, they could finally see clearly.
"Damn, we're surrounded!"
What was in their sight was a collection of Golems made of stone. Their number is over 20. They all surrounded the bandits and did not allow the slightest gap for them to escape.
The appearance of the Golems was also different.
Some had a normal pair of hands, some had one of their hands shaped like a sword, and some had both arms shaped like a godam. What they all have in common is that they are more than two meters tall with arms twice the size of an adult male.
"Breaked! We're getting out of here!"
On the orders of their Boss, all the bandits immediately focused their attacks on one point. In the direction where they came.
Of course, the Golems would not remain silent.
With their arms that were like a sword, they blocked the bandits who were intending to escape.
The iron sword collided with the stone sword. Obviously neither side wants to give up.
Due to the difference in body size and strength, the Golems looked superior to the bandits. However, it did not last long.
(Heavy Slash) (Quick Slice) (Defence Cutter) (Sharp Edge)
Each bandit put out their skills.
Golems that were originally superior had to willingly be cut into pieces by the iron swords of the bandits.
"Yosh, we can!"
"Keep forward...!"
The bandits became excited about this, only waiting for time before they could secure their exit. But again, it didn't last long.
"Ugh, I, weakened"
"...sleepy"
The bandits who were originally feisty, one by one began to weaken. Those who were initially superior were now again beaten back by the Golems.
Now, they are the ones who must be willing to be slashed and crushed by the Golems.
Seeing their bloodied comrades, the other bandits became shrivelled. They were afraid of fate just like their comrades.
They do not know if the fate of their fallen comrades is much better than those who survived.
"Yahoooooo!"
Without them noticing, there was their companion who was captured by some sort of vines and pulled up into the trees.
Not only that, there were their comrades who were dragged deep into the forest by the same vines.
Seeing his men who died one by one, the Boss began to feel resigned. He realized that the smoke that had enveloped them earlier was no ordinary smoke. Inhaling them made their bodies weaken and feel sleepy.
While gathering all of his remaining strength, the Boss risked everything in his one last strike.
(Bull Rush)!
He forcibly broke through the Golems. With a Greatsword in hand, the Boss launched an extremely powerful attack.
Facing this, the Golems could do nothing.
They had to be willing to have their bodies cut in half.
The boss finally managed to escape. Without even looking back, he left his men to buy time so that he could escape.
"You run where you are"
With those words, all his hopes were lost.
He was betrayed by his own shadow.
The shadow that was at his feet instantly came to life and turned into a rope that entangled him very firmly.
No matter how he rebelled, he remained unable to escape.
Moreover, with his body starting to weaken, the Boss realized, that his hope of escape had disappeared.
Before his consciousness was completely lost, the last thing he saw was a woman wearing a black robe and a conical hat walking casually towards him while holding a wooden staff in her hand.
"Penet.hir"

"You guys, take those bandits to jail!"
All right, let's start the experiment♪
