Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 090: Evolution and Progress
As a result, marsh iron ore was quite excellent as a material. Based on the history of formation, the marsh iron ore collected from the sewage tank is basically all metal. However, the quality of the metal is not good. If you melt it in a simplified furnace, not only iron resources, but also resources such as copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc can be obtained in small quantities. As far as it can be seen, it is a resource that seems to have various problems for normal use.
In my case, the improvised furnace will convert into various resources internally, so I can use them individually. It was a convenient material for me to get many metal resources at the same time.
"Iron looks good now."
That's good.
Poison smiled nicely at my words when I started processing the marsh iron ore and checked how the resources were being stored. She was a little worried about whether she could use it properly.
"We knew it was a mixture of metals."
"I see. It would certainly be a big problem to try to use this normally as iron."
There are too many impurities and it is not very good, but it will not be used. One of the strengths of my abilities is that I can use these low-quality Ore without any problems.
In doing so, Beth came home with a sack of linen stuffed with bread. Looks like it's heavy.
"I'm home. I brought you a grindstone."
That said, Beth lowers the sack on the stone floor and starts to take out what looks like grinding wheels, horse saddles made of leather, bundled leather strings, and a cloth that seems to be clean.
"Amazing. Where'd you get it?
From the Holy King's Army quarters, the stables, the blacksmiths.
Did you steal it?
"I want you to tell me you got it back. They're the ones who took everything from this castle first."
It's been twenty years, so I think the grindstones and saddles were prepared by the Holy King's Army... well, I don't care about the details. Mm-hmm.
"I think we can build a higher workbench now. Thank you, Beth."
"Remember, it's a hand you can't use very often."
"Okay."
You'll be warned if you do this all the time. I think you can disturb me.
Ah, but if something like this happens, Cubby's gonna be on the lookout. My escape would have been known a long time ago.
"Did nobody find you?
"I don't think they found us. If they find us, we'll be in a lot of trouble."
I see.
I hope Cubi doesn't catch up on this case... because he won't be alarmed. I think it's better to think and act.
But Beth did a good job. Not only grindstones, but also leather materials... saddles are useless as they are, but they become materials when they are disassembled.
Speaking of usage, that's it.
There's no use for money or anything right now.
Pikapika
Melt the marsh iron ore, ingot and remove the extracted gold resources, and play on the palm of your hand.
Unfortunately, under the circumstances, money really doesn't help. It's heavy and soft, so it might surprisingly do a good job as a gun warhead material... well, it's a hobby area. Precious metal bullets.
"I've heard that the Empire uses rod-shaped gold and silver as currency."
"Yes, it seems that near the border with the Empire, the Holy King's kingdom is also there."
"Heh. Well, that's not how it's going to be processed, but it's useless there."
"Why don't you go into town and do something about it?
"I can't do that... no, it's not bad, is it?
Eh?
Beth starts saying that to Lime. No, no, it's dangerous, isn't it?
"I disagree. I don't think Koske would be bound if he were dressed that way. But if they find us and hold us, it's over."
"That's right. But I think it'll be fine if it's almost cold. A week... no, in ten days, you'd think he'd be dead."
"I can't see a word."
"These people are afraid of us..."
"They think of the three of us as a slime without intelligence or reason. Koske escaped from his cell to the tunnel, didn't he?
"They know we're in the castle tunnel. A prisoner who didn't know about such a place escaped. What do you think?
"... you think he's dead?"
"It is."
Poison nodded. Beth says it may be ants who leave on top of it for about ten days, cool off most of it, spend some time that they will surely believe to be dead, and disguise themselves so that they don't get suspicious.
"But the risk isn't zero."
"That's right. I don't think it's the right thing to do unless you want it so badly."
I see. Don't bother taking risks. But it's worth considering as one of the means, and should we just proceed with the preparations? "
"Is that good?
That's why I decided to prepare for entering the city of Merlinesburg in parallel.
As a result of the consultation, I decided to disguise myself as a human mercenary or adventurer who came here from the conflict zone between the Eastern Empire and the Holy King.
"Because it looks like a human being. It's the best thing to do when you travel alone and don't get suspicious."
"You better think about the cover story."
"Are you looking for an officer to go around the countries because you made money there?
"Isn't that good? The roadblocks ran out and exchanged the monumental Imperial currency for cash."
I'll do it.
Lime didn't say anything while thinking about the cover story. While you were in my chair... you took a nap with Suyasuya while holding me. The size and shape are so variable... I wonder what it feels like to be wrapped in this overwhelming maternity.
The lime is getting bigger overall, and the contrast with me is like a child and an adult, but there is a feeling that the intention to protect is somehow conveyed, such as being careful not to crush it by mistake.
……
I think Beth and Poison are looking at us with a suspicious gaze. Is it because of my mind?
"... what are you going to do today?
From now on… Hmm.... "
Workbench upgrade -: mechanical parts × 10 steel plate spring × 5 leather strings × 2
Simple furnace upgrade -: animal leather × 5 bricks × 50 grindstones × 3 mechanical parts × 10
I have clay and I can make bricks. Beth brought me some leather and grindstones, so I think we can upgrade the furnace without any problems. If the simplified furnace becomes a forging facility, steel plate springs can also be made, so the work bench can be improved. However, it will take some time to make parts.
"I'm staying here today to get on with my work. I've got all the ingredients, so I'm going to slowly improve the workbench and the simplified furnace."
"Well, then, shall we also focus on managing the complex here?"
"It is. We also collect information."
When they said so, they began to stand still with their eyes closed, just like Lime. Looks like he's asleep, but is this the state he's focused on managing the complex?
I won't bother you. I broke out of the lime's arms and opened the craft menu of the furnace and workbench. We need to mass produce bricks and mechanical parts first.
Nevertheless, I'm free.
Basically, crafting is a hassle-free task. Book the required number of crafts and just wait. There's nothing to do once you've finished it.
I took a look at the status screen, but lately I didn't fight directly myself, so I didn't raise my level, and I didn't have any Achievements in particular. I was wondering if there were more women's Achievements, but that didn't seem to be the case. There aren't any more architectural achievements, and there aren't any newly built workbenches... * giggle *, it's hard to imagine that the assigned workbench can't be built and is left unattended.
I was able to make some parts while I was doing that, so I'll upgrade the simplified furnace.
The flash burned my eyes.
"I forgot!
"Hey, what's up!?
I was so glad...
"What is it?
I was so alarmed that my eyes were dazzled by a proper flash. As far as my voice was concerned, they were all surprised. I'm really sorry.
"When you upgrade an improvised furnace or workbench, it really shines. I forgot."
"Don't make a scene... are your eyes okay?
"Leave it alone and it'll heal."
Look straight in front of you! But it has healed. In fact, your dazzling eyes are getting better, and you'll be fine.
"It became a full-fledged facility."
Poison looks at the forging facility and looks interesting. Poison seems to like Isla.
"Hmm...."
Lime still seems to be sleepy, and when she came near me in the first place, she hugged me again and started sleeping.
I can't get out of here.
"You're worried because it's dangerous. Hug me gently."
"It's not dangerous....."
It's just a little glowing... well, no problem. It's a critical blacksmithing facility and workbench. I'll make steel plate springs and disguise gear like this. A sturdy sword with a short blade span and a yen shield made of wood and iron would be great. I don't know what to do with the armor... but I'll keep the clasp and the light armor.
I really want to use the bastard sword and two-handed sword that everyone loves, but I'm overwhelmingly weak. I can use my shortsword best. I mean, it's for disguise. It's not like we're actually waving to fight, so it's never too light.
If you really want to fight, I'll make you a gun. Mass production of bullets is creepy. Speaking of bullets, we also have to make gunpowder... which means we need a concourse, which requires a lot of glass.
So, there's sand to make the glass... well, if you decompose the soil, you can pick some sand. It's in the inventory, and I'll leave it in the sand that makes up the glass.
The glass is fine, but the problem is the stables... this sewer is just around the corner, so I wonder if we can harvest it? I'll ask Poison or Beth later.
I managed to get all the equipment in place, and the next thing I want to do is think about the escape plan and the disturbance plan as a way to get in touch.
Nevertheless, first we'll get in touch. Golem communicators... the problem is a mythrill. Can't you replace mythrill copper alloys with pure gold or silver? Do you want to talk about this too? Magic is refreshing.
