Different Worlds Slow Life Beginning as a Blacksmith
Magic and Demons
"Hmm, shit."
The next day. I finished my morning routine all the way and set fire to the blacksmith, and I was roaring the ring forward.
Rike approaches there.
"What's going on?
"Hey, I was a little accidental. I don't know how to make it harder from here."
"Oh......"
I beat it with direct magic sheet metal, as before, and the ring that I made becomes a sheet of petanco again.
You won't be able to take it back if it gets so hard in that state. Probably the hardest metal sheet in the world.
That might be available as a bulletproof plate in the previous world, but that's not what I was asked to do.
Would it have been better to make it a little harder and then engrave it?
No, this hardness would be the limit in making shapes. I'm not sure I can erase the joint if it's stiffer than this.
Maybe I can handle it with cheats, but if I bet on it and fail, I won't even be able to see it.
"... would you like to surround it"
"Is it sheet metal?
"When I slapped him trying to do magic, I had the feeling of going in. And yet it's not in there, which probably means..."
"Come in and stay out of it?
I snorted at Rike's words.
"What's okay when you transfer it from sheet metal?
"What if sheet metal isn't the only thing with magic?
"Ah."
Yes, there is a gold floor underneath the sheet metal across the megistium. There must be magic in that too. Although I had never been aware of it before.
If it is sheet-shaped, there will be less “escape“ in the lateral direction. If it were, it would try to escape in the upward and downward directions, but there would be no escape of magical steel there, if magic remained in the megistium.
Can you do magic by encircling yourself with magic and keeping it in high concentrations of magic? That's what I thought.
There is one thing that concerns me about this method.
"I don't know if there's going to be any demons doing that."
Demons can occur when magic starches... In fact, I have also fought the demons that occurred.
Sometimes that starchy magic demonizes ordinary creatures. Lucy, the wolf we have (although it's time for the child to come off), is.
So far, magic to the limit with a bespoke item has never left it in a starved state.
But what if the space was filled with high concentrations of magic? Let's still borrow the wisdom of experts here today.
"Demon...... is it"
"Yeah. This is how when you surround all six sides with sheet metal that's filled with magic, and you knock out magic on the inside, the magic in that space becomes quite intense, right?
"Oh, that's right"
"So, when we put it in that state, do we get demons coming out of it? I'm just wondering."
"Right......"
Liddy puts her hands on a thin piece of cake.
We have one human and one elf each over here with service experience in the Crusades, and the rest of us are highly capable of fighting, even though Helen hasn't come home yet.
One or so of the goblins would be able to beat him at his leisure. No more powerful demons are likely to occur in this ring-sized space to the degree of magic.
So I don't think it's going to be a big deal where it happened, but it's a big difference between knowing it's going to happen and getting ready, and panicking after it happens otherwise.
A little thought Liddy opened her mouth.
"Perhaps this will not cause demons to occur. Because the quantity is too small."
I stroke my breasts down in those words. Even though I said I could deal with it, demons like goblins have never crossed the line without occurring.
For our Lucy, if she hadn't become a demon, she would have been able to spend time as a forest wolf in the herd.
I'm going to make you happier at home than I took it from you, but there's no reason to know if you're happier than being in a herd.
"It's just..."
Liddy went on with the words. The air is slightly disturbing.
"If it's very magical, there's a chance the fairy will show up."
"Fairy...?
Liddy nodded cocklessly.
"Because they feed on magic, they come to pure magic and dark magic. This place is powerful in the" Black Forest, "but that's about it, fairies don't show up. But..."
"Unless there's more magic in that incredible concentration."
"Right."
Liddy snorts at my words again. You reacted to the word "fairy," everyone else seemed to stop their hands a little and pay attention to Liddy's story.
"Can we have a conversation?
"Legend has it that some people were able to do it, but most of them suck away only the magic they gathered without doing anything, and they seem to just go away somewhere."
"No evil?
"Yeah. If you're fairy enough to have a conversation, there's a chance you'll do something about it that's a prank."
"Heh."
I wonder if it's close to the fairies that appear in the fairy tales of the previous world. It seemed like a lot of things too, so I guess I can't say this all the time.
"Well, do you think I could see something unusual when the fairy came? It's surrounded by sheet metal during processing, so you won't be able to serve it."
"Right."
Liddy smiles. I look at that face and expect only a few fairies to emerge.
