004 Rare Metal

"Looks like it's clear, and I'd like to go to the blacksmith's parents for a little while."

"What, at your grandfather's?

Then an unexpected word came out of Krull's mouth.

"It's your grandfather?

"Yeah, that's right."

Ask me, the blacksmith's parents are the grandfathers of the Krulls. I mean, they say she's the father of their mother, Bise, and she's been studying in the King's Capital since she was younger.

"Yes, it's my two grandfathers..."

"Well, let's go together"

Adriana, along with her two sisters, headed to the blacksmith.

"Grandfather!

Even though there was still a distance, when Krull called out loud, his parents looked out of the workshop.

"Oh, Kurl, Murl.... and yesterday's lady."

"Hello, I'm taking care of you now at the village chief's house"

"We're friends now."

"Oh, yeah."

Parents nodded at the lying marl. My grandson still looks cute.

"So, what can I do for you today?

"Yeah, I need to talk to you about the dishes."

"Dishes? What do you mean?

"Yes, actually..."

So Adriana explained that it was particularly difficult for the forks to use.

"Hmm, where your daughter lived, you used a fork in that shape?"

In the Wang capital when my parents were training, they said it was the same shape they used in this village.

(Your father spread the word, I'm sure)

Adriana remembered her father Shuki and felt a little lonely, but soon a bright voice hung to strike it off.

"Ado, what do you want your grandfather to do?

"Uh. Um, parent... oh, I don't know your parent's name."

I thought it was only yesterday, so I didn't even have to ask my name.

"Your grandfather's name is Fightos!

The voice of a vibrant krull so that the brightness shifts to Adriana, who is by her side as well.

"Uh, Mr. Feitos. This form of fork is now used in the Wang capital and large towns. I wish I could use it in this village."

Adriana showed it by painting a three-tooth fork on the ground with tree branches.

"Well, is this the fashion"

"No, it's more widespread because it's easy to use than fashionable."

"Really?

"Yeah, it might be quicker to get a look at the real thing first. … let me use a little bronze."

"Oh, I don't mind..."

Adriana took the half-sized bronze that was rolling in the corner of the workshop.

"" Deformation ""

"Hmm?"

"Wow, Ado, wow!

"Wow, Ado. You can do that too!

Fightos wasn't so surprised because he saw it the day before, but Krull, Marul looked surprised by the engineering magic he'd seen for the first time.

"... this is the standard fork."

Adriana, who had a slightly smaller, three-toothed fork, handed it to Fightos first.

"Hmm, is the teeth section square?"

Fightos instantly spots one of the features.

"Yeah. That's why the piercing is hard to spin, hard to pull out"

Others have the effect of making it harder to pull out because of the increased contact area.

"This is good. But the material..."

The metal used for dishes in this country is high in silver.

Copper can produce more green and blue than is prone to blackheads, which can significantly damage aesthetics.

Silver also blackens, but that was less frequent than copper.

But silver is expensive. As with light silver, little silver was placed in the village blacksmith.

There are only dozens of grams in stock to repair ornaments.

There is also a hand called plating, but it quickly wears out and the gold comes out, so it is not very suitable for dishes that are good for ornaments but practical items.

"I knew we had to do something here with iron."

Earlier, the forks prepared at the village chief's house were also made of iron.

"But I still don't want to use iron."

"That's right..."

The forks I've been using are made of iron. I wanted to use rust resistant materials if I wanted to make a new one.

Iron is even more rusty than copper. Moreover, copper black rust does not go inside, whereas iron red rust goes inside, and at the end of the day it wears off iron products.

Therefore daily care is indispensable.

"I wish I had nickel and chromium... I might try to find it"

Shuki is also aware of the presence of stainless steel and has used it as a material, although it has been slightly so far. So Adriana also has knowledge of stainless steel.

In this world, however, metals such as nickel and chromium are completely unknown and are not commonly distributed.

And Shuki didn't know what the ore was, including nickel and chromium.

Except.

"Hey Kurl, Murl. Can't a green stone be picked around here?

We only knew that minerals, including chromium and nickel, sometimes develop green. And Adriana was also learning it.

"Mm-hmm. You'll find me all over the south coast, won't you?

"Do you want to go pick it up?

"Yeah, let's go!... Parents, not, Mr. Fightos, I'll be back."

Adriana jumped outside with the abruptness that only seemed like a girl's whim when seen from Fightos.

"Look, here"

"Wow..."

It was a bay, gathered by the waves that beat it, a beach of gravel, not sand. The green stone is dusty.

"It's called" Green Coast "!

It is the coast as it is named.

The pier connecting the village ship was at the north end of here.

"Well, do you want to find out"

Since Shuki is not so familiar with the minerals, Adriana, her daughter, is equally not familiar with them. Nevertheless, with engineering magic 'analysis', known substances can be sensed.

"" Analyze ""

I just analyzed it and it detected silicon, oxygen, aluminum and sodium, and I was able to find traces of chromium among them.

"Yay! Hit it!!

Adriana rejoiced and just decided to extract chromium.

"'Extraction'"

A silver glowing grain of sand rolls into Adriana's hands. The stone changed from green to white.

"Wow, wow! The magic of Ado?

"You can do this too."

We're both surprised.

However, about 0.1 grams of chromium could be removed. As for Adriana, I'd like it in kilograms, if possible.

"This 10,000 times..."

It is a distracting story.

Furthermore, even if it is green, the elements causing it may be copper.

I worked hard until sundown and ended up getting about 5 grams of chromium and 2 grams of nickel.

Others include one gram of manganese, two grams of molybdenum and one gram of vanadium.

But gladly I got 0.3 grams of gold and 0.5 grams of silver.

(Worst case scenario, some hands are plated.)

Adriana on her way to the village with the Marlu Krulu sisters was to give thought to how to use the scarce metal she had obtained.
