Chapter 93.2: Weapon Crafting (1)
Feeling the puzzle fit perfectly, I looked at the two in turn.
Asher was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to react.
A person who had a connection with her ancestor appeared out of nowhere, so it must have been confusing.
“I express my regret for the disaster your tribe had suffered.”
The Wiseman said.
“I heard you fought a duel with Santea’s General in Earth Hill and lost unilaterally.”
“…Yes.”
“But what I see now differs from what I have heard. You can compete with him to some extent if you fought with all your might. Were you just careless, or did you achieve rapid growth in that short period?”
He muttered, as if he didn’t understand.
At that, Asher’s expression changed.
The Wiseman’s words just now were clearly telling her that her level was close to Santea’s General.
She’s really close now.
Of course, I, who could see the level, was well aware of that fact.
Asher’s current level is 90, and the General was level 91, so the discernment of the Wiseman who judged that she could compete with that bastard to some extent was not wrong.
Before passing the ordeal of the ruins, it was really an overwhelming difference, so she had no choice but to be defeated unilaterally.
I glanced at Asher and said to the Wiseman.
“First Lord.”
“…?”
“Can you make a sword for her?”
Asher looked back at me in surprise, and the Wiseman also gave me a strange look.
At the last emergency call, the Wiseman said that I could request a weapon or equipment for Bellevagorah’s corpse.
I didn’t need any of that anyway, so it wouldn’t hurt to take this opportunity to make a proper weapon for Asher.
The Wiseman nodded and replied.
“Even if you didn’t say that, I was already planning to do so. Thanks to you, Seventh Lord, I got good materials, so I’ll even add an armor. But…”
“…?”
“Then should we go to my territory right now?”
“…Right now? Does it take such a short time to craft a weapon?”
“No, I’m not saying that I will make it right away it. In order to properly produce a matching weapon, there are things I need to see with my own eyes.”
He said that and looked at Asher.
I took one look at her and answered.
“Then let’s go.”
It didn’t really matter if they had to stop by the First Lord’s territory.
“Sir Ron…”
Asher panicked and called me.
I ignored her, climbed on Ti-Yong’s back, and said.
“Come on, Asher. We’re going to the First Lord’s territory.”
***
The Dwarf race with excellent dexterity was usually famous as a blacksmith’s race.
And in the current era, the person who stood at the pinnacle was the Wiseman, Agor.
The opportunity to get a weapon made by him was invaluable.
I’ve never seen the First Lord’s castle.
Accompanying the First Lord, we quickly flew to his territory.
I followed the Wiseman through the entrance of the castle and looked around.
It was the first time I actually saw the First Lord’s castle, which I did not see when I was playing the game.
I didn’t stop by the capital when I passed by this territory when I was still searching for mysteries.
Unusually, there was another building as huge as that behind the main castle, which looked more like a huge chimney than a tower.
I knew that place was a forge because I had seen it in the game.
The closer I got to the forge, the louder the sound of the metal hitting and the stronger the heat that touched my body became.
Upon entering, I saw that all the people busily wandering around inside were Dwarves.
Even when the Wiseman appeared, they only nodded lightly, but soon focused on what they were doing silently.
The atmosphere was completely opposite to the Tyrant I had seen before in Actipol.
The Wiseman didn’t pay attention to them and continued to walk into the forge.
Soon after arriving in a large space, the Wiseman said to Asher.
“I will look at your swordsmanship.”
Asher looked this way as if asking for permission.
I nodded and stepped back.
Sureureung.
She pulled out her sword, took a deep breath, and immediately began swinging it.
In the empty air, many sword strikes rang out, making a vicious roar.
I watched her with my arms crossed.
Being ignorant of swords, I had no way of knowing about the progress of swordsmanship.
However, I could definitely feel the fact that the sword attack was much faster and much stronger than what I saw in the duel with the General last time.
“…”
The Wiseman, who had been watching Asher’s sword dance for a while, opened his mouth.
“Wait a minute.”
After saying that, he disappeared somewhere, then reappeared with several swords.
They were swords of slightly different sizes and shapes.
“This time, try your swordsmanship with these swords.”
Although Asher looked puzzled, she meekly followed the request and practiced swordsmanship again with the swords he brought.
To me, there was nothing different from before.
However, the Wiseman watched all of Asher’s sword dance with a serious expression, as if he could see something different in his eyes.
“Enough. You can stop.”
After using the last sword, the Wiseman took Asher and I and moved to another place.
We went out of the forge and went underground to the main building.
After going down to the deepest part of the underground, a huge warehouse came out, and in it, countless ores glittered in the dark.
I started by looking at gems that have a natural blue glow. Asher’s Spear Sword I saw in the game was blue.
However, the Wiseman, who was walking in the lead, stopped in front of the ore that was emitting purple light.
“Try injecting magic into this stone.”
As he said, Asher put her hand on the stone and infused her magical power.
Then, the purple ore emitted a bright light.
The Wiseman, who stared at it with a cautious gaze, nodded with a satisfied look.
“It’s much more suitable than I thought. I’ll have to look at the other things once.”
Was he deciding what materials to use for making the sword?
Watching from the side, I didn’t know what it meant, so I asked.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m looking at what materials are suitable for the weapon. High conduction to magical power is not necessarily good. It’s also important how well it responds to the user’s magical properties.”
…I couldn’t understand what he was saying, so I just nodded moderately.
The Wiseman took Asher, and she went around injecting mana into the ores one by one, and I felt a bit bored following them.
And it was then.
“…?”
I narrowed my eyes at the ominous energy I felt as I approached the back of the warehouse.
T/N: These are the last bonus chaps. We’ll now be back to our regular update shedule. I’ll open the donation again once I have more free time. ><
