Dorothy's Forbidden Grimoire-Chapter 242: Information

Green Shade Town, No. 37, Beverly’s residence.

After hearing Beverly’s explanation about the price of Revelation storage items, Dorothy’s mind raced. She thought to herself that if she, as a Revelation Beyonder, could find a way to turn her Revelation into storage items, she could make a fortune!

“This seems promising. First, I need to check the feasibility.”

With this thought, Dorothy turned to Beverly and asked, “Hey, Beverly, do you know how to make spiritual storage items? If I wanted to make one, how would I go about it?”

“Making spiritual storage items... that’s not particularly advanced technology. Except for Chalice, the creation of storage items for other spiritualities requires the involvement of a Stone craftsman. Many craftsmen on the Stone path know how to make storage items. Larger secret societies often keep one or two Stone craftsmen on hand to produce storage items and maintain mystical artifacts. The White Craftsmen’s Guild also accepts commissions for storage item production.”

Beverly explains, clearly knowledgeable on the subject.

“In short, to make a storage item, you need a Stone craftsman with the right skills and materials, and a Beyonder to provide their inherent spirituality. The craftsman will channel the Beyonder’s spirituality into a mold, stabilizing and sealing it within an object.”

Beverly elaborates. Dorothy nodded slightly, then said, “So, making a storage item is just about providing spirituality to a Stone craftsman and having them seal it into an item? That sounds simple enough.”

“It sounds simple, but the process is quite complicated. Crafting storage items tests the craftsman’s experience and skill. Inexperienced craftsmen have high failure rates and significant spiritual loss. One misstep, and it’s a losing venture.”

“Spiritual loss?”

“Yes, spiritual loss. Converting inherent spirituality into a storage item incurs loss. Depending on the craftsman’s skill, the loss ratio can range from 6:1 to 3:1. That means creating one storage item might require three to six units of inherent spirituality. The more skilled the craftsman, the lower the loss, allowing them to create storage items with less spirituality. That’s why skilled craftsmen are highly valued.”

Beverly explained plainly. Dorothy now had a rough understanding of how spiritual storage items are made and continued.

“So, if I understand correctly, the White Craftsmen’s Guild offers services to help create spiritual storage items. If I provide the spirituality, you can make the corresponding storage item for me.”

Dorothy asked. If she could commission the White Craftsmen’s Guild to create Revelation storage items, she’d be set for life. However, Beverly’s response surprised her.

“That’s correct. We do offer storage item creation services, as long as the storage item isn’t for Chalice or Revelation.”

Beverly said bluntly as she fitted the polished glass eyeball back into her socket. Dorothy was taken aback.

“Everything except Chalice and Revelation... Why the exceptions?”

“For Chalice, their spirituality is incompatible with ours. Many of our techniques don’t work with it. Besides, Chalice factions have their own unique methods for creating storage items and don’t need our help. As for Revelation, first, there’s no one who can provide the inherent spirituality, and second, we don’t have the appropriate containers.”

Beverly explained. Dorothy looked puzzled.

“Containers?”

“Yes, specially crafted blank containers for storing spirituality. Not just any material can store spirituality. The containers need to be specifically developed. The current popular storage item containers were all developed by our guild, standardized into coin-like forms—gold coins for Lantern, silver coins for Shadow, stone coins for Stone, iron coins for Silence…”

“Developing a suitable container isn’t easy. It requires significant upfront resources, especially the corresponding spirituality for research. For example, developing a Lantern container requires a lot of Lantern spirituality as experimental material. But Revelation is so scarce that it can’t meet the research demands, so no one has developed a Revelation container.”

“The only sources of Revelation storage items are fragments of ancient stone tablets and murals from ruins. No one can artificially create Revelation storage items. In a way, Revelation in the mysticism world is like a rare ‘natural’ resource.”

Beverly explained in detail. Dorothy quickly grasped the situation.

In short, the blank containers for spiritual storage items require significant spiritual resources to develop. But because Revelation is so scarce, no one has bothered to develop a Revelation container. Even if one were developed, there are no Revelation Beyonders to provide the inherent spirituality to create storage items. Thus, no one in the mysticism world has considered making such a useless item.

“Damn, so I can’t make Revelation storage items? Without the container, I can’t produce storage items even if I have the spirituality!”

Dorothy couldn’t help but shout internally. The frustration of discovering a potential goldmine only to have it blocked by reality was palpable.

For a moment, Dorothy’s expression darkened. Seeing this, Beverly became curious.

“What’s wrong? You seem suddenly unhappy. By the way, why are you asking these questions? Are you looking to make storage items or buy them? If you’re buying Revelation storage items, I’d advise you to take advantage of the current price—it’s the lowest it’s been in years.”

Beverly said. Dorothy was momentarily stunned.

“Do the prices of storage items fluctuate?”

“Of course. As I mentioned earlier, storage item prices vary greatly based on supply and demand. In years when conflicts between secret societies escalate and there’s a scramble for divination resources, prices can skyrocket several times over. This year, relations between major factions are stable, so prices are low. If you’re buying, now’s the time.”

Beverly explained. Dorothy stroke her chin thoughtfully, then her eyes light up. She smiled slightly and said to Beverly, “You might have misunderstood, Miss Beverly. I’m not here to buy something. I’m here to sell something.”

With a smile, Dorothy spoke. Hearing this, Beverly frowned.

“Sell something? What are you selling?”

“Information. I’m selling a piece of information.”
