Back from Erin's workshop, we all tried McHaela's analysis, but the results are not fragrant. Even though the rust was terrible and the prototype was not fastened, the missing chips also seemed to be an important part.
I don't have any magic props that might be helpful this time, so I can't even guess Leeds' account. All need to be analyzed from 1.
"I don't know what I can do..."
"All this has to do is tunnel it."
"This is just iron, isn't it? How is it different from Lily's knuckles?
Claire is also present in this analysis. Claire is the one who uses fake McHaela from time to time, so she thinks it's not another HR. It helps because Claire's opinion, the daughter of a magic prop store, is also helpful.
The Meriken sack that Mr. Lily usually uses is a magic item enchanted in iron chunks. It's a very difficult technology, but no one will want it because it's a special weapon.
"Enchants on iron are the same, but they work differently. You can barely read magic, so it's hard to guess."
"Hmm... I think I can make the same shape, but I don't know if I can do any more."
In Leeds' view, it seems to be shaped like covering a core made of silver with iron.
I only dropped a little rust and checked the outer material, which turned out to be high purity soft iron. Good stuff for armor, but not iron for blades.
"Before that, do you get this iron of purity?
"You won't be able to...... I don't know where the iron came from, but I've never seen this much iron."
“This much iron” is what Mr. Lilly calls a magician's gaze. With the blacksmith's gaze, you can only make crude products that can't be slashed by grinding or bent easily by working out. This is why Erin said "poor quality".
Iron contains impurities and properties change dramatically depending on how mixed they are. This is a common law between Earth and this world.
You need to remove impurities if you want to use them as magic props, but if you want to use them as weapons, you can't use them unless they're mixed with carbon. Apparently, in this world, blast furnaces and converters to increase iron purity have not been invented, so iron purity and components depend on the region of production.
It's going to be a lot of work, but even the magic of removing silver from the ore should increase the purity of iron. Let's buy some iron and try it.
"Hmm, you're not going to know any more. Let's go to Elf Country and find a book."
I give up here today. The books that were in Elf country were mostly written in ancient languages and could not be read. But I can read it next time because I have a vision of making a ring of translations. There must be a book written about McHaela.
He's assembling in the living room again the next morning. Today I'm going to give up McHaela's analysis once and go explore a city I couldn't yesterday.
When it comes to iron weapons, it's not just weapons. They say a lot of groceries are also made, so I look around at that today.
"It looks good here."
Walking around the city, Luna said, pointing to a large building. It's a bungalow building like a brick gym. I'm just going inside.
Tall shelves are arranged narrowly in the store, and iron chunks are packed tightly. Some things are unlikely to be available here in Wangdu.
"Isn't this a good idea?
"Then I think this one is easier to use"
"If you're going to choose that, I want this too."
Looking around the store, Luna and Claire have products and come up with opinions about friendliness.
Claire chose something like a gold mesh that combines iron bars as thick as a pencil about 5 cm wide. My eyes are too coarse, so it's not a net for baking meat. I wonder if it will replace the five virtues.
In contrast, what Luna chose was a grill with slits in the iron plate. If you want to cook meat, it's just fine. But there's a lot in vain to replace the five virtues.
The next thing Claire took was usually the five virtues. Legs are made long for use in the incinerator.
I don't know if I need the five virtues. It would be useful, but the gold net seems more user-friendly. Let's also buy a grill to bake meat.
Because of this, I get mixed up with Luna and Claire's arguments, too. What I chose was a reversible iron plate, an iron griddle. Flat on one side and wave embossed on the other.
"Then I'll buy this too"
"If it was an iron plate, it would have been thinner and lighter, right?
"No thin, light iron plates. It bends quickly, and the heat streets aren't good."
"Heh, yeah. You've never used an iron plate before."
Claire often acted alone, so I guess she never needed an iron plate. It's tense, heavy, and expensive. If you're alone, the first gold net modoki Claire chooses is the easiest to use.
Three combined, eight gold coins. The iron griddle is four gold coins. Gold mesh modoki is relatively cheap with one gold coin. But it's expensive.
I used to camp alone, too, so I didn't think I needed an iron plate. I mean, I thought I just needed a lunch box. But at some point I have all the tools, and today I'm taking the initiative in choosing the tools too.
One is fine, but it's fun to camp in large numbers. It would be more fun to have lots of tools if we were to camp in large numbers. Throw away the weird restraints and enjoy the present.
Walk through the store holding an iron plate. The iron plate wasn't the first thing to pick...... heavy and disturbing.
I was about to leave the cookware corner and something of interest popped into my eyes.
"You're a skillet!
Looks just a small frying pan. But it's made of cast iron and it's gotten worse, and the lid (lid) sold separately is also made of cast iron and gotten worse. It's for campers, which can be used even if thrown into a proper incineration. Thin dutch oven if you ask me, but this specializes in baking.
I didn't keep it at the grocery store in Wang Du. The only thing that happened was a cohel made of thin iron plates. I definitely want this. I've wanted it since I was on Earth, but it's heavy, so I gave it up.
"It just looks like a frying pan..."
If you say that, it's Oshimai. Well, it's just a frying pan, isn't it? But there's a clear difference.
"This is durable and long-lasting. Even if you use it in a somewhat unscrupulous way, you can use it for the rest of your life if you take good care of it."
"But it's small, isn't it?
It's a size for one, so it's pretty small. It's about 15 cm in diameter, it's small enough for five of us to use, but if you're going to bake pancakes, it's just the right size, just right for cooking meat by yourself. You can buy them for everyone.
"You can use one at a time. Let's buy five. Then I'll take it to the Elf Village. I'll buy you ten sets or so."
"... that's unusual. You wanted that much?
"Right. It's what I wanted more than any tool I've ever bought."
When I bought it in Japan, it came with a lid for less than 2,000 yen, but in this world it is one gold coin. Awesome and expensive. Still buy it though.
"Hehe. Now I'll have Mr. Coe make something for you next time"
Luna smiles and says happily.
My cooking was just repugnant stuff like dongle pancakes...... Sometimes I really think I'll make it. If you're going to make it out of this skillet, Skiyaki seems like a good idea.
"Hey, I found a weird frying pan."
Soon Leeds, who had gone somewhere, returned with a suspicious frying pan.
It is shaped to sandwich like two shells and has a long handle on both the top and bottom. square iron plate with flat sides on both sides. Like I saw somewhere...... he bakes hot sandwiches. I wonder what the name was.
"Bawloo, I guess."
"Mr. Coe, you know what?
"I don't know what you call it in this country. It's for baking bread."
"Eh... if I bake with something like this, my bread will be peppered..."
Shit, the bread in this country was rolled bread, not food bread. Well, can't you make roll bread?
"It's something to bake while crushing. It's gonna crumble a little."
As I was explaining, Mr. Lilly brought a small piece of paper.
"Mr. Coe. There were instructions over here for making a treat called a waffle, right?
Huh? I was just explaining it with my Doya face... That's super embarrassing.
If it's for waffles, there's got to be a plaid pattern, right? You don't have it in here.
That's what I thought, so I spread the bawloo. Then, although not as deep as a waffle eaten in Japan, a plaid pattern is made firmly on the inside.
Yeah, that's a waffle.
What should I do... Doya, before I explain it with my face, no matter how I fix it, it's an excuse. The shape is too similar.
When I was stuck in words, Leeds brought another Bawloo.
"This one's flat inside. Clueless or defective?
There you go! That's for hot sandwiches!
"I'm sorry. What I was saying was this. There's no pattern on the inside, is there?
If you have a pattern, it's definitely a waffle. "
All right, excuse me. Nothing's wrong with you.
"Heh... Then make it next time. Let's buy this too."
Claire looks at Bawloo with interest. I don't know how to make waffles... I wonder if pancake dough would do.
Eventually, I decided to buy both for waffles and hot sandwiches. Two pieces of gold and quite expensive, but Bauru can also be used when baking meat and fish. This is also a handy item to have.
Even though Japan could buy it for thousands of yen... I hear iron weapons tend to be high in this country. It takes a lot of work to mine and process, so what can I do?
Finally, I hear it's going to get cold, so I'm going to buy a stove. I want a small firewood stove to keep warm. I can buy this in Wang Du, but this city seems to be cheaper to buy better things. It's still expensive when it's a Japanese feeling.
If you're camping in Japan, a simple cylindrical firewood stove made of thin iron plates is just fine. It's light and easy to procure fuel. But if you don't think about carrying it, it has to be either cast iron or thick steel plates. Warmth is very different.
But I don't know what's going on in this world...
"Anyone familiar with this?
"It's my turn. I'll take care of it."
Mr. Lilly ran for office.
I don't know the common firewood stove in this country, so I'll throw a round at Mr. Lilly. They'll pick good stuff.
Leaving the choice of stove to Mr. Lily to look at the product appropriately, I found something interesting. An iron plate about the size of a small smartphone. The product description reads' Great Old Ignition Equipment '.
Fire money.
Previously, an attempt to ignite with a knife failed. Maybe the iron used in the knife wasn't good. If it's dedicated iron, it should work. Let's sneak up on it.
The firewood stove selection is over. Mr. Lily chose to be made of gritty cast iron, big enough for one person to hold. It weighs about 20 kg. Pretty heavy, but it won't be a problem. Broad-leaved firewood is recommended for fuel. Let's collect firewood in the woods east of Wangdu before it gets cold.
By the time I finished accounting and left the store, it was past noon. Has Matchett been repaired......
I want to finish my errands in this city and get out of here. Or I want to use a skillet. Once we're done with business in this city, let's head back to Wang Capital and go to the East Forest.
