Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

"Soil. Tell me about you."

Work on the soil mana, analyze the surrounding 100 m up to and including the basement, and examine the geology.

"All right, fine soil. There's enough clay and quartz."

There was something I was looking for, and I leaked a breath of relief.

Both are substances that exist anywhere on earth. If you dig a little bit of clay, it will come out, and the quartz is even in the sand there, like before around.

Anyone would have seen white, cloudy stones in the sand. That's quartz.

"[Substance manipulation: clay]"

Sorcery that works on soil mana and specifies and directs certain substances.

The clay that scraped off the impurities blows up off the ground.

It surrounds me with a twist and draws a circle with a radius of 30 meters.

Then he stretched toward heaven as he increased his quantity, and after stretching about 5m, he fell into the center of the circle, hitting it at the top.

Now I'm in a dome made of clay.

There are several holes in a 60 cm square in that dome, plus a hole about 2 m high in one place facing the ground.

I'm going outside through it.

"[Substance manipulation: quartz]"

The quartz is then manipulated into the hole of the smaller square to be positioned to block the hole.

After the process is completed, call on the mana of the soil to fix it on the spot.

"Now you're on fire. It's a fire mana. I'll help you. [Prison Flame]"

Call on Mana of Fire to start a huge flame.

The compatibility value is 80, which is more compatible than soil but still too good.

I made the dome a 30m radius because that's the limit I can manipulate my fire. Fire mana is very difficult to handle, and even with my skill and magic, I can't do any more.

The flame I called out completely swallowed a dome made of clay and quartz.

In tune with the mana of fire, fine-tune it as you check how the dome is going to be burned.

Little by little, the clay becomes reddish brown, hardened and brick, and the quartz melts and becomes a red liquid.

At this stage it starts to tune with the mana of the earth and becomes tight with fire and simultaneous control, but Queiro, who is loved by the ore, will manage.

Remove impurities from quartz that has become a red burning liquid. Unlike clay, quartz cannot remove impurities unless it is from this state.

Completely, the clay solidifies, the impurities are gone from the quartz and the plastic surgery is complete, I switch magic.

"[Cooling]"

The magic of fire is not attribute magic specializing in burning. The essence is heat manipulation. I also tend to take away the heat.

Remove excess heat from the baked clay and let the baked and melted quartz cool.

In doing so, the quartz became transparent and brilliant quartz glass. The transparency of glass made of quartz is so high that it cannot be compared to ordinary glass.

"All right, it's done. That's Dwarf. I didn't know we'd build enough brick workshops."

I'm a spineless man.

Brick by baking clay. Collect quartz, melt and glass. It's all a simple process, but there's a lot of equipment and cost to do it properly.

Besides, when it comes to building a home with it, it can't be called a simple task. If you bake clay and brick it, it will change in size, and if you remove impurities from quartz, it will be smaller.

In the pre-baking phase, I can read through the experience thinking about how it will change. Dwarf's sixth sense is the pinnacle of Queiro.

"Now, put your armor and sword inside"

I manipulate my armor and sword with ore manipulation with the help of dirt mana and let it go inside from where it opened into the shape of the door.

After all, earthwork is convenient. In the appearance of an elf, I regret not being able to handle it properly.

"Today, I wonder if I can even assemble"

I drool my armor with fire magic, and on top of that I magically control the ore, fluidized metal, towards the inlet. It was cooled to create a simple door and, in addition, additional parts were made available for tensioning and closing.

Now the workshop is complete.

Finally, it's the beginning of weapons making.

Concentrate, activate magic, melt all armor and swords.

"After all, Imperial steelmaking technology is still immature. Lots of impurities."

Iron ore is not a viable substitute for use if it remains intact.

Therefore, removing impurities and turning them into iron requires a high output furnace and some knowledge and skill. The swords and armor I melted were pretty crude.

A mass of melted swords and armor with various metals mixed together, depending on each metal, will be ingots.

The ingod thus made is melted again, and now the impurities are intentionally mixed into steel.

Pure iron is great. But by daring to mix impurities, they can be transformed into more purposeful metals.

What I'm making now is a bow rim. It's the part where you strain the strings.

What we want is performance as a plate spring that gets better. With Dwarf's experience and consideration, add the surrounding metal to the base to make the alloy the rim deserves.

Impurities coming out of armor and swords originally even utilized the surrounding metal, and I created the optimal metal.

And now we mold that chunk into the shape of a rim.

Measures about 50cm. Pretty small for a bow rim but this is fine. Anyway, it's the crossbow parts that I'm building.

Make about fifty of them, including spare ones. Complete fifty rims with Dwarf's skill and no deviation of 1mm.

What's more, a reel that serves as an arrow launch pad. This is followed by the bipartitioned trigger portion, and finally the iron pedal to be applied to the crossbow-specific tip is completed one after the other.

Each structure is simple, so it is easy to control because it can be single-molded when made into parts units. It's just impossible for me to melt and solidify the metal and turn it into a crossbow at once.

"Arrows, screws and springs next"

I make more arrows, springs and screws out of iron than I need. I can use as many other parts around here as I want, so I make more.

Crossbow arrows are thick, short iron bars called bolts. Give it the ideal shape to increase penetration. This process drastically reduces the accuracy of the hit.

Crossbows are used to making them. It has often been made in countries where civilisation is halfway developed.

With my knowledge and ability to control magic, and the suitability of Dwarf's fire and local attributes, I could have created a gun, but I dare to make it a crossbow.

"I can't get gunpowder."

Yes, to get gunpowder, we're going to need nitrous stones. Luckily, there's no way you can find a nitrous mine like that. There are also ways to obtain nitrous stones from excreta.

That's unrealistic because on top of taking five years to generate, the population of the Elf village can only take the amount to use up in a few fights after using all the excrement for a year.

Nitrostones are rare and expensive to buy. Basically, guns can only maintain a rich army.

"Besides, I don't care about the maintenance."

Even a simple structure of about a volcanic gun makes it less user-friendly due to slight distortion of the barrel, coal build-up, and triviality. Effective operation requires some knowledge.

In that regard, the crossbow will be available for a little training, and the structure is simple.

"And then it's a problem to eat so much iron."

Additionally, the amount of iron used for guns is not the ratio of crossbows. Coupled with bullets, we can't have enough. Metal is precious. There are many other uses besides weapons. The only way to get it is to plunder it from the Empire, so we have to give it up.

In the case of crossbows, it is large to supplement the foundations supporting the parts just made with trees.

However, only the finishing of the wood really needs to be done by hand.

Now that I have all the parts, I sigh and start processing the trees by hand.

I cut wooden slabs to moderate thickness during yesterday.

Cut out to the right size first. Enhance the sharpness through magic on the knife. The trees cut off like hot butter.

If you can get a foundation, dig the hole through the rim, the hole where the grip is mounted, and the hole where the pedal is placed, and complete the foundation.

The dexterity of the dwarf and the power to wake the drawing to its head would be the craftsmanship.

"Okay, now we have all the parts"

Then, stab the rim against the front of the body, attach the grip integrated with the trigger to the bottom and secure it to the tree with the screws you have made. Additionally, the spring is mounted for unwinding the trigger portion.

The reel was further mounted on the top and the iron straw was mounted on the tip.

This completes the crossbow. All you have to do is string it up and you're done.

"Normal yarn, I can't stand it, and this time I'll make an array"

I'm going into the final process. Cook one of the wooden plates at low temperatures and make charcoal. Furthermore, the composition is enchanted and the carbonized part is turned into carbon yarn carbon fiber.

Carbon fiber is one of the toughest yarns on the planet. Make it a thicker yarn than multiple, and increase its strength even more.

The thread was stretched between the rims.

Now it's done.

Once you pull the trigger, the outing that is flying out onto the reel pulls in and releases the trigger, it returns to its original position by the spring.

"Do you want to pull it off once?"

I pull strings with reinforced muscle strength, and I snap strings at the outpouring on the reel. Don't forget to check your bow strength in doing so.

"The bow strength is 89 kg. That's twice my father's long bow."

Strong plate springs and carbon fiber provide twice the bow strength of a wooden bow, even in a 50 cm rim.

Of course, you can't usually pull something like this by hand. But the ability to solve it is also available in the crossbow, and even women like Lucier can handle it without magic enhancements.

"Burn!"

Playing the trigger as you say so with your mouth, the outpouring that was fastening the string sinks in, the string unleashes and bounces with intense momentum.

It's not really recommended because doing this without an arrow on it hurts the crossbow.

"It's a test shot at the end."

Cut physical strengthening by magic.

Then press the ring on the tip onto the ground and place your right foot in that ring to secure it.

Crawl your hands into the strings and pull them up with your hands and spine.

Yes, because I pull with one hand, the bow is said to be the limit to which 45kg bow power can be handled by humans. But if you can pull with your spine and your hands, it's easier. Anyway, the national average for Japanese girls' spine measurements is 100kg. You can't possibly play 89kg strings.

I could easily pull a string and snap it into a string for an outing.

Now put the arrow on the reel because it shoots properly. On the reel, an indentation was made to stabilize the arrow, and the arrow climbed clean.

All right, arrows made of iron...... the accuracy of the bolts is impeccable too.

I deliberately left it undissolved, turning a crossbow on the relatively fine armor.

"Come on, can you pierce it?

Play the trigger.

The crossbow arrows flew out at an initial speed of 102 m/s and penetrated the fine armor lightly.

"Come on, this clears the challenge. How many more can we count in five days?"

Weapons make sense for the first time when they are numbered.

There's only one thing, there's no point in having a weapon that can resist them.

Operating in an organization is a prerequisite.

Time ran out while I was thinking about that.

My figure returns to Cyril. At the same time, fatigue was attacking his whole body.

"Well, it's a battle of time from here on out."

We have plenty of parts, but the problem is with the tree sharpening.

To reduce iron consumption, the body was made into a tree, but the process takes about 15 minutes one at a time.

You have 122 minutes to stay in Queiro, so try your best and 8 is the limit.

I'm back in Cyril. Even I can cut it, but that scares me of variations in performance.

Let's be quiet here and make this one in the tunnel with a queer.

That's what I decided, and I finished my work today.

The day will be near to unveil the crossbow.
