"Lose the bamboo"
After the battle was over, the Dwarf chief declared himself defeated.
That's why you're a dwarf warrior.
"I can't believe it's so easy to cut your self-confidence... that you cut it instead of crushing it."
And the dwarf chief murmured as he stared at the cutting surface of his battle axe.
"Your sword, it's quite a business."
"No, it's a regular sword made of ingredients."
The Dwarf chief says this sword is amazing, but the performance is not so good because the sword is made of handheld materials.
I'd rather be surprised if I could cut the Dwarf's Battle Axe so easily.
A dwarf is a natural forger who can literally create a weapon of steel strength even with crude iron.
I wonder why he made such a soft weapon.
"Hmm, the guy who built your weapon seems pretty humble, or rather a twister."
I'm sorry, I made this.
"Well, we Dwarves admit your strength.Don't you disagree, Elf Grandpa? "
Pointing words at the dwarf's chief, the elf's chiefs open their mouths with bitter, crushed faces.
"If the Dwarf chief admits it, neither do we."
"Hmm, if you're not so convinced, you can fight too.Why don't you try the pride of spiritual magic? "
"Ah, we don't need it! We don't like to fight for nothing!"
The head of the dwarf told me to fight, but they didn't have to.
In fact, elves can have a long lifespan and don't move very actively.
How about the others?
"... if the warrior species and the armor species admit it, there is no other species than us, who are the messengers."
Elves weren't the only ones who were pointing words at the Dwarf chief.It seems that other elders, such as dwarves and beasts, have recognized us.
But it's unusual for so many species of chiefs to be in the same place.
Looks like Elves and Dwarves are the biggest ones to remember the sights of the town earlier.
"Okay, that's it. Follow me."
When I finished watching the chiefs,The chief of the standing dwarf tells us to come.
"Where are you going?"
I'll take you somewhere interesting.
"Interesting place?"
Everyone is tilting their necks about what the Dwarf chief says is an interesting place, but if the Dwarf says it's an interesting place, it must be there.
◆
The Dwarf chief brought him to a building built on a thick branch close to the trunk of a world tree.
There are dozens of dwarves there, all working in front of the hot furnace.
This is our dwarf workshop.
Yeah, I knew. Speaking of dwarf fun, you're a blacksmith.
"Wow, it's so hot. The Dwarfs are good at working in hot places like this."
"Of course, this is tough...."
"Melting....."
Gyro, I know exactly what you're trying to say.If I don't magically adjust the temperature, it's not too hot, but I can't stay.
Yeah, it's definitely hot.
"Yeah, it's kind of hard."
Ah, Riella and Mina are sneaking cold and magically cool.
However, using magic in such situations improves delicate control techniques.
"Hahahaha, I'm used to it!But it's worth it!Anyway, there won't be a place for this many dwarves to work outside! "
"I've never seen so many dwarves."
Liliera affirms the words of Dwarf's chief.
Is it true, after all, that the Fae are few in our time?
Or is it just a few countries around here?
"We Dwarves are blacksmiths.It's not uncommon for you to take weapons and fight, but blacksmithing is still your business. "
That's right. Dwarves are powerful as simple fighters, but it's time for them to show off their blacksmith's arms.
"But what about iron?"
Gyro-kun questions the head of such a dwarf.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you can't pick iron here because it's on a tree.But there are monsters everywhere outside the fort, and you can't run away with a dwarf's feet, can you?Are you asking Elves to fetch iron from the mine? "
Indeed, Gyro-kun's question is correct. [M]
However, it's also a question because I don't know what the world tree is like.
That's a good question, kid.
You thought the same thing about me. [M]When the dwarf chief smiled, he lifted a large chunk placed on the workbench.
That's the answer.
"" "Answer?" ""
The dwarf's head lifted a large bark.
"He's a young bark on top of a world tree."
"Bark, bark?Why is that the iron answer?Isn't that a mistake of firewood? "
Gyro leans his neck confused about being barked by being told what to do with iron.
"Don't panic. Look, world trees aren't just big trees.It's all a tree made of high-quality materials. "
"" "Heh." "
"And the young bark of this world tree is actually still hard enough, but by scraping and loosening the surface, it becomes harder armor than the usual hard leather armor.
"" "" I just loosened it!? "" "
Everyone shouted when they heard that it would be high-quality armor with just a small amount of effort.
"But there's another important way to make use of it.That's right.... "
The dwarf chief threw the bark of the world tree into the furnace.
"Eh!? What are you doing!?"
"Look down."
"Down?"
Everyone was surprised by the sudden behavior of the dwarf chief, but he looked under the furnace as he was told.Then there was an accumulation of red shining iron.
"The bark of the world's trees contains a lot of iron.So when we burn the bark, we can extract only the iron inside. "
"" "" "Iron in trees!?" ""
Everyone shouts more surprises at the extracted iron.
"The world tree contains more than just iron.From the ingredients of medicine, you can create everything you need in life. "
"Wow, the world tree is amazing."
"Amazing."
Everyone was surprised at the usefulness of the world tree as a material, making their eyes black and white.
Of course, the world tree can be used for many things.
Nevertheless, it is only a substitute for when there is no real material.
Even though bark contains iron, it is less than the ore available in mines.
Though it is convenient, considering the disadvantage of getting infinitely bigger and robbing the surrounding nutrients, it may be the assessment of plants called world trees that twist their necks a little.
"With this iron, we make not only the tools, but also the tools we use in our lives."
Hee, that's not funny.
"Could iron itself be ordinary iron simply by saying that it can be harvested from a world tree?"
"I want to know what other parts can do."
Everyone seems to be interested in the bark of the world tree, or the performance of the world tree as a material.
"So I'll teach you how to make a special armor."
"" "What?" "
What does everybody mean by the sudden suggestion from the Dwarf chief? and tilt his neck.
Oh, yeah, it happens sometimes.
Feel free to teach your blacksmith skills to your favorite Dwarves.
Of course, there are dangerous technologies that can be misused because of their incredible technology, but that is the technology of the born blacksmith race.
A half-subsistent opponent can't master the technology, and since the dwarf training is the robustness of the dwarf in the first place, other races will run away before they become human beings.
Yeah, I had a terrible experience with that, too.
Use air conditioning magic to touch the ore, so don't use magic because you don't know the subtle changes when a good quality ore gets heat!Because I was forced to mine ore in a mine where lava flows nearby.....
Everyone who doesn't know about it is excited to hear it from the dwarf.
"Wow! Are you serious!? Are you going to build a weapon just for me like oniisan!?"
"If you can make quality equipment yourself, you can make it cheaper than buying it at the store, and it's also a strategy when you don't have money."
"Well, I'm a monk, so I don't need the skill to make weapons, but it's good that when I come to a village that's in trouble on a pilgrimage, it might help people."
"I think I'll remember.Even when Mr. Lex saved me, it was a dangerous place to break my weapon. "
Everyone's going to beg for a lesson.
I'm a wizard, so let's not do this.
Mina was trying not to hesitate because she was the only wizard, but the dwarf chief slapped her on the shoulder.
"Well, maybe the wizards can't use their magic anymore and beat each other, right?Then there's nothing wrong with being able to build a weapon. "
Ha-ha, that's right, Mr. Mina.Once locked on, Dwarves will never miss until they teach you how to do it. So do your best.
"All right, then, come here. The boy too!"
Oh, yes, me, too.I knew it.
"I'll make a knife first, so watch."
The length of the dwarf pours iron from the bark of the world tree into the mold, creating a thin, plate-like, baked mass of iron.
"I'm going to tap this into shape, but be careful here."
The head of the dwarf takes the steps slowly, explaining what to teach us, rather than finishing the knife.
If you work so long with actual work, the iron will quickly cool down.
Yeah, unlike the previous master, he's kind.
"So, repeat this. Don't let go of me because I'm tired.You can't train iron without putting your strength into it. "
And here I question the teachings of the Dwarf chief.
Why are you flying that procedure?Without that, the results would be overwhelmingly worse.
Is this... is this trying us?
That reminds me of the question I felt in the fight earlier. [M]
The battle axe used by the Dwarf chief in the battle was strangely soft.
I wondered what it meant and I used it, but I was finally convinced by how to make this knife.
In other words, the Dwarf Captain is going to teach us the difference between a real procedure made weapon and a handheld weapon without a procedure!
Probably going to teach you the importance of protecting the basics by showing the difference from real equipment where we made useless equipment after this.
The more I thought about it, the more I used that battle axe.
"Well, it's like this. Then try to imitate it."
And with the Dwarf chief giving the order to start work, everyone starts making knives as they've learned.
All right, I'll make a knife too!
But of course, I made a knife that followed the original procedure.
Fufu, surprise me with the Dwarf technique of the previous life!
Got it!
"Nh, done!"
So, I think we did it.
"Ugh, my arms are so bumpy....."
Hmm, is this it?
After a while, everyone finishes the knife one after the other.
All right, show me.
We were called by the dwarf chief, and we put our knives on the workbench, and there were six knives lined up with the things that the dwarf chief had made.
Incidentally, the dwarf chief was making a knife from scratch again with us starting work.Probably for comparison.
"How about my knife! This is crazy!"
It was Gyro who confidently showed his knife. [M]
Gyro-kun's knife, unlike everyone's knife, had a unique shape.
The dwarf's head watches the knife carefully and takes it in his hand and swings it down to the stick of a trimming tree.
Then the knife cracked with a pachine.
"Ahhhhh!? My knife!"
"I can't exercise enough because I'm distracted by shape.Work harder, then stick to the shape. "
"Toho....."
"But... from the beginning, I don't feel bad about being different from others.You'll be able to build your own knife if you lay the foundations. "
And not only is it tough, but also the Dwarf leader who appreciates Gyro-kun's spirit of challenge.
"Nh!? Ohh! Good luck, Master!"
"Hmm, you're gonna be a good blacksmith."
"No, what do you do when you become a blacksmith?"
Yeah, you're a warrior, aren't you, Gyro?
Okay, next.
The head of the dwarf continues to appreciate everyone's knives.
"The strength is not good, but the sharpening is not good"
Ugh
"It's too thin. It gives too much priority to sharpness and weakens strength."
Hauu
"... a stick?"
"... a knife."
"Well, good luck."
"Well, it's not bad. The rest will be useless if you stack up the foundations."
Gotcha!
Oh, Riella had the best rating today.
I knew we had the longest history of adventurers.I can't believe I didn't get scolded for making my first knife.I was scolded. [M]
And finally, my knife comes. [M]
"Well, that's pretty good. Do you have any experience in blacksmithing?"
The Dwarf chief immediately realized that I had a blacksmith's experience, as anyone who saw it would know.
"Yes, to a dwarf blacksmith I used to know."
"That's enough. But this... Mmm, what is it?"
I was convinced that the dwarf chief had some doubts, and when he took the knife, he shook my knife down on the stick of the trimming tree.
The knife then cuts the stick of the trimming tree without a sound.
"Ha!?"
But somehow the Dwarf chief shouted in surprise.
"Hmm, what is this!?"
The dwarf's length is checked by cutting the stick of the trimming tree with a knife many times.
"Well, what's going on!?"
When the dwarf's length is replaced by his own knife on the workbench, he slashes it on a stick of wood for the trimming as well.
Then, the stick of the tree was cut with the sound of tickling.
"The sound is different, the weight is different, and the ease of gripping is different.Above all, the sharpness is completely different! What is this!? "
What? What? Maybe something went wrong?
... Oh, yeah. All I know is the technology of the previous Dwarves.
In contrast, Dwarf's technology is modern and state-of-the-art.
Maybe, but the technology that the Dwarf chief taught me is the latest technology that eliminates unnecessary procedures in the real past, even though it seems that important technology is missing from my old knowledge.
Shit. It's embarrassing that I didn't even notice that!
The Dwarf chief came to me with a very scary face. [M]
"How did you make this!? Please tell me!!"
"Oh, sorry... hey?"
However, the words from the Dwarf chief were the opposite of my expectations.
"This incredible sharpness! Despite this thinness and hardness!Easy to use as if your hand had grown!I've never done this before!What kind of technology are you using!? "
Oh, that? Aren't you mad at me?
"Well, that's a normal dwarf technique that I learned from a dwarf I know...."
Yes, I didn't do anything special.
I only made it with the Dwarf technique I learned.
"This is normal!? I can't believe it!?"
And so the Dwarf chief thought of something, and opened his eyes wide.
"Is it King Dwarf's business!?"
King Dwarf's business?
Hearing the words of the Dwarf chief, he leaned his neck to say what everyone was talking about.
Not only that, but the other dwarves who were working were looking at us.
"King Dwarf's business, a Dwarf technology lost with the collapse of ancient magical civilization."
"Eh!?"
Dwarf's technology was lost with the collapse of ancient magical civilization!?
"I hear that many of the dwarfs who had the technology due to the countless disasters and disasters that occurred frequently at the time have died, and most of the technology of the dwarfs singing as the highest in the world has been lost."
That's what happened. But is it also caused by the collapse of ancient magical civilization?
"This technology is undoubtedly ancient magical civilization technology.Techniques inherited from this spiritual tree home don't make such a great knife. "
I was just making a knife.
When I thought about it, the Dwarf chief suddenly sat down and prayed to me.
"Please, teach me that trick!No, tell me! And!! "
The head of the dwarf begs me to change his language. [M]
"And be king of our dwarf!!"
Not only that, but he said he wanted me to be king... that?
"" "" "" "King!" "" ""
What do you mean!?
