However, the difference seems to be that there are many ores, not medicinal herbs or magic mushrooms as in the Hermes Territory.

The Carmas family, which was located to the west of the Lubitsch territory, had acid magic attacks such as the [King's Water Tsunami], and the Lubitschs, whose territory bordered the Carmas family, often damaged their equipment whenever they had skirmishes with the Carmas family.

In order to make equipment with high magical defense, the Bautica family uses magic.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
It is a magic called "Attribute-attachment".
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
It is said that if you prepare iron and magic stone and use [Attribute Addition], the magic defense will be increased.

Incidentally, it is also possible to use flame ore or magic steel for [Attribute-attachment].

Normally, magic stones produced in labyrinths are purchased and used for [attribute-adding], but there are no labyrinths in the Boutica territory.

Therefore, it was necessary to add attributes to imported materials, but this is not the case now.

The Bautica family also has other magic that can be used.

That is 【Enhance Performance】.

For example, let's say that iron is made to have the [Attribute Added] by using flame ore.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Then, the iron will be able to emit flames when it passes through magic power, though it does not have as much firepower as flame ore.

However, it is treated as a degraded product compared to the nine-tailed sword made from flame ore alone.

However, even the degraded version is more effective when the Bautica family wields the weapon with the use of [Performance Enhancement].

Even though the original is an inferior copy, it is said that the performance of the weapon can be as good as that of the original.

This is probably the source of the power that has enabled the Bautica family to protect their territory until now.

But the weapons made from the leftover materials can be treated as the same magic sword as the original one.

Even if they were taken away from them, only the Bautica family would be able to use them as a degraded product.

And there was another kind of magic that the Bautica family could use.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That is [synthesis].
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is a magic similar to [Attribute Addition], but [Synthesis] can be used to combine multiple items into a new material.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
The reason why the Bautica family has not given up on their long-cherished dream may be because of this [Synthesis].

They will create a sacred iron that is even more effective against immortals than the sacred sword, which can purge immortals of their impurities.

This is the wish of the Bautica family.

Using the knowledge of the Bautica family, the Barca family, and the East that Gran knew, he was synthesizing various materials in various ways.
