Chapter 682 Quest Complete!
-----
Ding!
[You\'ve created [Large Aqua Crystal Heart (B Grade)] x1!]
[You\'ve gained +2000 Alchemy Skill Proficiency!]
Making the Aqua Crystals was as easy as throwing the materials inside the Alchemy Cauldron and getting them fused with the Liquified Mana inside. The result was a big piece of Aqua Crystal, which we slowly extracted into pieces using [Extraction].
"Good, fifty small, tear-shaped Aqua Crystals." I nodded, feeling slightly exhausted.
"Uuuggh… Are we done yet?" Aquarina was feeling so bored and tired she was going limp.
"Yes, we\'re done now with this." I sighed. "Just rest for now, I\'ll get this completed now."
Using the Alchemy Skill, I quickly used [Metamorphosis] to permanently merge the crystals with the mithril rings and stick them there. And then, I threw all fifty rings inside the alchemy cauldron. For the two materials to truly become one, we needed [Synthesis], but not the raw method, the Alchemy Cauldron had the power to enchant items, which was much better.
"Enchantment Rune: [Humidity]! [Refreshing]! [Water Production]! [Self-Repair]!"
I imbued four types of Runes into all of the rings, the important ones I needed for the Mermen, and I even added Self Repair so if the rings get broken, they\'ll repair themselves over time by absorbing the wielder\'s Mana.
FLAAAAASH!
The rings quickly emerged out of the cauldron, one by one, as I caught them and stored them inside the Dimensional Bag I was carrying with me to all places.
Ding!

"YEEES! WE\'RE DONE!"
I celebrated at the same time as I looked at my Alchemy Skill, it went up TWO whole levels through this entire process. It was incredibly tiring and I feel like dying right now, but it was worth the effort! Three more levels… just three more and it will reach Level 10!
Ding!
[You have successfully completed the [Special Quest]: [Manufacture The Aqua Rings!]
[Congratulations! After many trials and tribulations, you\'ve actually completed the original intent of the trip you had with your friends in the Fishman King\'s Dungeon and you\'ve made yourself with the amazing Aqua Rings, capable of helping the Mermen get acclimated to the drier summers of Agartha. Now, go quickly deliver these rings to them!]
[You\'ve received Bonus Rewards for having completed the Quest in less than 3 Days!]
[Completion Rewards: [500000 EXP] [250000 Shared EXP] [Water Rune Potion (C Grade)] x10 [Random Skill Proficiency Potion (D Grade)] x6 [Water Dragon Flower (C Grade)] x4 [Undine\'s Whisper (B Grade)] x1]
Not only the prizes doubled and increased in quality, but I also even got a special Ring named "Undine\'s Whisper". It seemed to be similar to the Aqua Ring even in appearance, except its effects were even stronger, and it included abilities like [Water Spirit\'s Protection] and [Aqua Blade]. Anybody that wore this would become a rather decent Water Magician.
Gifting it to Aquarina would be quite redundant, but maybe it could still fit with her water magic and make it even stronger? Hopefully… Though I will keep it for now. Maybe I can improve upon it and make it even better, after all it still weaker than the Nymph Goddesses\' Tears.
"We\'re finally done? That\'s nice… Now let\'s finally get to it." Aquarina said, jumping off her chair and getting ready to depart.
Ding!
[A [Special Quest] has been generated: [Deliver the Aqua Rings to Saphira and the rest of her Tribe living in Agartha!]
[Now that you\'ve got them in your hands, there\'s no point in delaying it anymore. Now go and deliver the Rings to Saphira and the Mermen Tribe. Of course, don\'t be greedy and don\'t ask for money, and you may be rewarded for it.]
[Completion Rewards: [50000 EXP] [25000 Shared EXP] [???] x1]
[Time Limit: 24 Hours]
Huh? Another Quest? This one has little rewards, why? Well, it is a very easy one, so I guess it makes sense. Though the EXP is still free. So let\'s go deliver this. It is not usual to get this many good quests anyways, I\'ve gotta reap all these benefits while I can before the "big drought" where Quests rarely show up sometimes and the rewards are quite minimal.
"Alright, let\'s go! Furoh, can you bring us there?" I asked Furoh, summoning him here.
"Woof! Sure, jump on my back!" Furoh took the form of a fluffy Fenrir, as we leaped over his back. He quickly jumped off the window and began jumping in midair using the [Wind Step] Spell that the Fenrir could use to move in midair as well.
FLAAAASH!
In less than a minute, we arrived at the Adventurer\'s Guild, finding Saphira having her usual break in the Building\'s backyard.
"Phew… So hot… Today\'s just as hot as every day… I wonder if Sylphy\'s working on the rings?" She sighed, looking into the skies, until she finally noticed us, freaking out as a giant wolf began descending from the skies. "W-Wha… A monster?! Uwaaahh!"
"C-Calm down! It\'s me!" I said. "This is my Familiar, Furoh."
"Nice to meet you lady, I am a Mimic Demon by the way." Furoh said.
"O-Oh, nice to meet you too…" Saphira sighed in relief. "Wait, you\'re done already Sylphy?!"
"Yep, we\'re done!" Aquarina said, as the two of us jumped off Furoh, Nephilim stayed on top of him for some reason, maybe she liked the fluffy hair.
"Here!" I gave Saphira the rings, all of them into a big bag.
"W-What…?!" Saphira quickly put on some appraisal glasses, looking at one ring. "T-This is… an A Grade Ring?! Eeeeehh? Y-You made fifty of them?! And these materials… Mithril, Aqua Crystal, so many runes in each one…"
"Is it not good enough?" I wondered.
"N-No! They\'re just perfect!" She said happily, jumping towards us and hugging us both. "Thank you so much! T-This is… everyone\'s going to be so happy!"
As Saphira was getting emotional, I ended completing the quest…
Ding!
