The Peerless Kobold (WN)

As soon as you remove the charcoal, start cooking the next charcoal.

Anything, they consume a good amount when they make iron...

"Wah, gah, wah. (Axe, knuckle, I got it)"

"Wow, grrr! (Okay, boss!)"

"Gruwow."

Leaving the work supervision of the charcoal burning squad to Axe and his friendly knuckles, who were mainly in charge of firewood making, I head to the task of building a ren furnace with the Barracks.

"Silver, I'm going to make leather fuigos... do you have sun-dried animal skins or something?

I grip the stone brush as usual and crouch into the ground.

“Trying to make a leather water bottle, I have about four stomachs of dried big pigs that were ready”

"Well, I'll take that."

"Mr. Grimmer, we need a sea urchin for the Huigo air outlet, too, right?

"I'll look for that, Mr. Grimmer. Huigo, Barack, you build the furnace floor."

And Joseph entered between the trees with his sword in one hand, with one hand as a leech, and put two of his companions on the spot as escorts.

If anything happens to him, Wallace and Liz don't have a face to match...

After the cat farmer leaves, Barack begins digging a hole with a stone axe at the corner of the square.

It doesn't seem that big...

"Hey, little dripping ears, take a good look!

"Wahoo?"

Cobolt Smith, who has been attached to the Cat Craftsmen for the past few days, is no longer familiar with his face.

He invites Smith to show him how the work goes.

"First lay the stone in the hole, now line up the charcoal and cover the surrounding area with more clay"

The work filled the majority of the holes I dug.

"Make a clay furnace with an incineration on the wind and an impurity vent under the wind, just like a dirt kiln."

While Smith stares at him, the cat blacksmith shapes a cylindrical furnace up to about 1.2m high from the base, digging shallow and circular in front of its incineration and outlet. In addition, holes were drilled in the four corners to serve as a blower outlet for leather fuigos.

"And, well, here's the thing"

"Wow, Gruggaruhh! Smith, we're gonna make it too!"

"Wow, grrr! Grrrr! (Roger, boss! Let's do it, guys!)"

Since making a primitive furnace floor and a ren furnace is not that difficult in itself, the hand of me and the dripping ear cobolts can eliminate the second ren furnace.

"Actually, that's all I can do today. I have to dry the clay, isn't there a fox lady today?

“Oh, I'm taking my little ones to the river for a bath."

"Then do you want to fire?"

Barack takes the firestone and the punching gold out of my nose, and I take the spark of hemp fiber out of my lumbar bag and give it to him.

He lit the fire by putting a spark in the furnace incinerator, breathing in to fortify the fire, and put charcoal on it. Black charcoal twitches and reds, drying the ren furnace from the inside out.

"Woanklu galuao? (Is it burning without setting fire?)"

Seeing the danger from the heat, Smith, pulling in his stretched hand, looks at the charcoal with strange eyes. Then for a while he kept looking at the charcoal that gradually became ashes without ever getting tired of it.

"Archer, don't throw away the charcoal ash because I'll keep it that way."

"Wong (OK)"

I communicate my intentions with principals even as I reply.

Just then, Joseph came back, having harvested a few empty tree trunks of affordable diameter. Processing it, Grimmer brings a body of leather fuigo made of leather, sticks and hemp thread.

On its side there was an intake port, from which a round valve made of overlapping leather was attached from the inside to prevent air from leaking.

"I'll put an anti-reflux leather valve on your nozzle, too, so lend it to me."

The leather overlaid valve he holds is rectangular with only one long extension below. Glue it with glue to the tip of a short cut thin sea urchin trunk.

"When the leather valve is connected up, the leather valve closes naturally due to its own weight. This is the dimension that is pushed up when blowing air and falls off and closes when intake air"

More slightly thicker sea urchin trunks are cut into shorter pieces and dilated while adjusting their cavities with fleas brought from the village of Lucua. Stick a thin rabbit trunk with an earlier valve in there, and also stab the remaining rabbit trunk cut on the other side of it to solidify it with glue.

A nozzle in the form of a thin rabbit stabbed at both ends of a thick rabbit with only an intermediate part can be raised and attached to the body of the leather fuigo.

"Okay, the anti-reflux valve is working too. That's it!

"Thank you, Mr. Grimmer. And the rest of the leather fuigo."

Similar work was repeated, resulting in a total of four primitive leather fuigos.

So, the next day, finally, the first iron production work in the settlement takes place in the morning.

(... Think of it, you went to the eastern mountains to find iron ore, frustrated by the strength of demons in the Barbera Forest, and so on. Speaking of which, how is Muriel?)

Work goes on even while I am inadvertently remembering the Redhead Mage. In front of me, a fire is thrown into the incineration of a ren furnace about 1.2 meters high, and the charcoal is crushed.

"Come on, add more and more charcoal from the top hole of the furnace! We'll fill the furnace with charcoal from the bottom to the side of the sky."

Under Barack's instructions, Grimmer and Joseph add charcoal from the top hole of the furnace.

"Archer, send me a breeze with a skinned fuigo"

I give instructions to the drooling ear cobolts to send a breeze using leather fuigos. When the height of the charcoal filling the furnace is reduced due to combustion, charcoal is added further from the upper hole for 2 hours, the furnace finally warms up and the color of the flame that lights the upper hole of the furnace becomes orange.

"We're going to blow the wind to maintain the colour of the flame now, keep this orange till the end!

Then, when the height of the charcoal is reduced, sand iron is added.

"Mr. Grimmer, just put sand iron through the top hole of the furnace for the reduced amount of charcoal! Mr. Joseph asks for lime powder."

"Leave it to me."

"Aye!

Two people shovel in the sand iron and lime-crushed powder collected by the river, and Souma Barack similarly loads charcoal onto it. If, furthermore, the height of the charcoal clogged inside the furnace is reduced, the same act is repeated.

Occasionally, the barracks follow the corners of the furnace from the top with their own steel bars and apply their hands so that there is no gap in the furnace.

"Hey! Little drooling ears, you're in the way!!

"Wahoo!?

Smith, who approached me to take a closer look at the work of that barrack, was yelling, freaking out and circling his tail...

"Shit, there's not enough wind...... I'm disappointed under the temperature! What are you doing!!

"Guru, kuru! (Boss, I can't do this anymore!)"

"W, Aw... (also, no...)"

"Kuh, luh!? (Not yet!?)"

The dripping ear cobolts that were pushing and pulling even the leather fuigo are snapping.

Sorry, I was watching the work and forgot to give instructions for a change...

"Gallaghh! (Change!)"

"" "Wow!" "

I also use wind attribute magic to temporarily increase the firepower by letting a 1-year-old generation of cobolts take over the work from the drooling ear cobolts.

"Wow, ooh, ooh! (Wind, blow!)"

As we let the wind blow into the incineration, the flame lit the furnace and its color returned to the orange.

"The fire is going to stay like this!!

Eventually, at the end of the sand iron and lime flour input about 30 times, the end of the iron making work is also visible. From the outlet of the furnace flowed impurities dissolved in drools and accumulated in a dug circular crevice.

From there, stop the sand and iron from being put in, do a few charcoal loads, and wait until the height of the charcoal is half that in the furnace to stop the blowing air.

"Enough of the breeze, good luck to you all. We're gonna dismantle the furnace!

When the catman blacksmith destroyed the ren furnace with a wooden hammer in his hand, a mass of red-hot spongy iron was created in it.

"Come on, I'll knock you in!!

Three of the Cat Craftsmen hold it three points with a wooden stick and place it on the larger stump next door. Of course, the wooden sticks and stumps are burning... are you okay?

Juuuuuuu

The water vapor rose when Joseph sprayed the water in a clay bottle onto spongy iron.

"Shh!!

Barack in the mood with the scream waves the hammer down. Huh!!

Gah, gah, gah, gah.

Many times the blow is added to the spongy iron and the impurities contained therein are knocked over.

Eventually, a high-purity iron mass was created.

"... Phew, is this what this is?

It should be noted that this iron mass was later reborn on a flat stone into Lancer's new spear.

At the end of the blacksmith work and the next Joseph field building proceeded without any major problems, the cat artisans arrive on their way back to the village of Luqua after coaching their fellow settlers for about half a month.

Of course, we accompanied them as escorts on the road.

At that time, for the first time, I met the village chief in Luqua, Liz asked me to do an archery, and there was a lot going on... but let's just say I'll talk about that again if I get a chance.

And the days of tranquillity ensue, and troubles come when we forget to be vigilant...
