Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 664: Thoughts Incorporated
Please come in!
Following Shurna's instructions, we dive through the workshop doors.
By the way, the size of the building is big enough for our backs. He said there was a deal with people outside, so he probably built a bigger building to match it.
After hearing Shurna's words, I stepped into the workshop.
When I think of the same dwarf craftsman, I think of Tetra's disciple Vanulla.
His workshop was integrated with the shop, and it felt like he was building while selling goods, but the workshop we were directed to was a complete workshop with no part of the shop. There is no decoration of the product, and the room is like an office as soon as I enter it.
I guess I'll use this room when I make a deal.
"Whoa! Whoa!" I'm home! "
Shurna walks into the back of the office and can hear her parents calling out.
After a while, Shurna and the two dwarves emerge from the back of the office.
One of them has burnt brown hair and a burnt brown beard. A male dwarf with black eyes. She has three knitted hairs and beards with muscles, and she wears a sooty and dirty tie that has the same design as the tie that Shurna wears.
The other one is a female dwarf with blue hair and a blue beard. She has blue eyes and has a good physique. The triple knitting is finer and more numerous than the triple knitting of male dwarves. The number of female dwarves I saw along the way was similarly higher than the number of male dwarves, so it would be different for men and women.
Both of them were taller than Shurna, but they were about ten centimeters apart. After all, everyone who is a dwarf seems to be short.
This is Shurna's parents.
"I heard that you carried my luggage. Thank you very much."
It was my father who thanked me.
"It's only natural that you helped me get lost." I don't need any thanks. "
"Thanks to Shurna-chan, you really helped me." You're a very solid daughter. "
“Thank you.”
It was the mother who was happy to thank Heine for her words. The smiling face resembles that of Shurna. No, Shurna resembles her mother.
“My name is Sidorba. My wife's name is Zinavirna.”
My father is Sidruba and my mother is Zinavirna.
We'll introduce ourselves.
"It would be helpful if you talked more easily than you talked in a hard way." We're the ones who got help. "
"... then I'll let you do it."
Siddhartha speaks roughly to my words right away. I feel like I'm used to this kind of thing.
I heard that Shurna brought you to a place where there was no lodging and there was trouble?
"That's right. I was hoping to let you know that Shurna is staying with me." Of course, I'll pay you well. "
"This is a workshop, and the room isn't beautiful, but if there's no problem, you can use the room on the third floor."
There is no partition on the third floor, and it is a large room, but was it good?
"Thanks to the rainstorm, I can sleep safely." There's nothing to be dissatisfied with, thank you. I'll take care of you for a while. "
"There's nothing I can do, but I don't care if you stay as long as you use the room." Feel free to use it as you please. ”
"It's really helpful. Thank you."
As a result, I was able to secure a base in Tongton and Zaganbel.
“You can enter and exit the third floor from the outside stairs and the inside stairs, but it would be great if you could just be careful not to bring too many people into the room or make too much noise.”
As for the precautions, Zinavilna talks about them in a common sense. Zinavyrna also spoke roughly, and thank you for your help.
"No, no, no, no, no, no. So... you're telling me there's someone who did that before?"
"Until a while ago, I opened the third floor here for free." Outsiders came in and told me they were having a hard time at the inn.
Even though I came to the corner business meeting, when I couldn't even stay, I felt pathetic about the flowing rocks. "
"But then, too many people gathered." It got so noisy that I decided to take some money. ”
The feeling of gratitude for providing the room free of charge is that it happened because it was not for the renter...
"As a demon tribe, I'm very embarrassed... I'm sorry."
Since the demons enter and leave this city normally, Heine and Pilte do not hide that they are also demons, but react as demons.
It seems that Sidorba and the others have also realized that they are vampires.
"There's nothing you guys care about. They apologized for being so noisy. I just can't let the houses around me get in trouble. If you go to the center, it's not unusual to make a fuss at night, so don't worry about it, but they'll settle down here because they want to live quietly."
"At that time, I just received a few complaints, and I didn't have a big problem and it was not a big problem. Now that I have settled down, I don't have any problems."
"Well, that's why I don't mind if you just take care not to make too much noise."
"All right. We don't want to bother anyone, so I promise we won't make any noise."
And again... a lot of help. Thank you. "
A family that provides accommodation free of charge and is positive for interacting with people from outside. I'm afraid there aren't many dwarves like that.
On the north side of the city, even if there are relatively many people who interact with outsiders, there should be quite a few people who are so close to me. No, I think it's okay to say that there are no people other than this family who will deal with it with dedication so far. The coincidence of getting to know such people can be described as the earliest miracle.
If this much luck comes in, I can forgive you for not being lucky on the road to Zaghumbel.
"Aww! That's... better than that."
Sidorba divides up the conversation and turns to the sword that was on my waist.
"Ah. Are you curious about this?"
I pulled the purple phoenix sword out of its sheath.
Is Ryoku a dwarf? After all, when I look at this kind of thing, my eyes are either glittery or glittery, and I have the eyes of a craftsman.
"Oh! Can I see it?!"
"I don't care how much you look at me."
The Purple Phoenix Sword didn't have an emblem, and even if I handed it over, it wouldn't come back to me, so I gave it to Sidorva.
"Are you sure... it was Katana?" Isn't it unusual on the continent? "
"I don't see a lot of people holding it."
"I'm not very blessed to have the chance to see the real thing either."
I've seen it once or twice, so I'm glad to see it up close. ”
With that said, I carefully pulled the sword out of its sheath, and a light purple ripple appeared on the dark purple blade.
"This guy..."
Looking at the blade, Sidorva leaves her mouth open.
"That's amazing..."
Zinavirna had the same reaction.
For a while, after the two of you stared at the sword carefully, you ran your eyes from that angle and from that angle.
Shurna seemed curious, too.
How about that?
"Oh, nothing... this one is completely different from all those weapons." I don't think I've ever seen a Katana like this before.
This weapon has both the value of being a weapon and the value of being an artifact.
I thought I'd become famous among the dwarves... but I've never seen anything like it. "
Is that such an amazing thing?
"Oh, the metal used for this katana is probably a metal called spirit metal."
Spirit metal?
It's a metal I don't know.
"It's a rare metal, so it's not that easy to meet."
“This is spirit metal.”
That's why Zinavirna brought out a thumb-sized piece of metal from the back.
The surface is dark purple, the same color as the purple phoenix sword.
"It certainly looks like the same metal."
"It seems that this metal has the ability to counteract mental interference magic." It's something I use like an amulet, not something I process. In other words, I can't process it. "
Can't it be processed?
"It's a metal that doesn't melt even when it's hot." It's one of the ingredients that dwarves are said to be unable to process. "
Is there such an ingredient?
"Even dwarves aren't perfect." There are all kinds of materials that can't be processed. "
I see...
Let me see what will become Spirit Metal and cast some appraisal magic...
[Spirit metal... rare metal. It has the ability to counter the magic of the psychic interference system, but its principles are mysterious. Dark purple metal, sticky metal. Machining is extremely difficult.]
It is.
"It's being collected and processed in such large quantities." If you sell a bottle of this katana, you'll get the money you need to spend the rest of your life. ”
"Ohh..."
It seems that I used it to slay monsters and lift things from my waist that could be considered national treasures.
No… Many of the swords we've used so far were made from materials we don't really know much about, and maybe they were just weapons. Thinking of it as a bang... no, let's not think about it. I could only defeat them with this level of weaponry. I don't have the option of not using it because I know the price, and I'm just shocked to think about it.
"Who made this?"
"The inscription is not engraved, so I don't know whose work it is."
"I see... it's a shame."
If you know the inscription... this sword is it.
I said that and took out the Heavenly Fox Sword that Sena had struck. Or rather, the flow of the conversation... I confessed and came out bragging.
Are you a ferryman?
I got it out of the inventory, so I was noticed to be a ferryman. I thought there was nothing wrong with it, so I sent it out.
Yeah, I guess.
I've seen expatriates who came to this city once in the past, but they also have pretty good weapons… Is it profitable to be a expatriate?
"No, it's not like the transferor will make money." I hunt in dungeons and places to get good weapons. ”
"Hahh... that's awesome."
Sidorba in a simple word: sucker. I want to be a little bit nervous (giggle) when made into words with such a simple expression.
"So, this is a sword made by someone I know." What do you say? "
I asked Sidorba to look at the Heavenly Fox Sword.
……………
Unlike before, Sidorva and Zinavirna silently looked at the Heavenly Fox Sword.
When I thought I'd been looking at the Tenko Sword for a while, I returned it to the sheath and returned it to me.
"So... how did it go?"
If you don't say anything and I get a little worried, I'll cut the story out. Sena and her friend Nil were also nervous.
"... I can't say a word."
Sidorba says with the utmost seriousness.
"Is the craftsman's feelings or thoughts... the soul resides in the craftsman's creation?"
I don't know how I felt about making it, or how I felt about it... I can feel it when he sees it.
And this katana has incredibly deep thoughts. ”
"Dense thoughts..."
"I can't read all of them, but I can see that the person who made this weapon pours everything into a single vibration that strikes metal."
The materials used are also quite rare, but more than that, the souls that have been blown into this weapon are overwhelmed. ”
When I heard the words, the sight of Senna hitting her sword came to my mind.
"Unlike other weapons, swords are quenched and quenched over and over again, and a huge amount of time is spent making them." We Dwarves are confident in our technical abilities, but our technical abilities are in another realm. It's a technology we can't imitate. "
Is that okay because this weapon is amazing?
"There's no mistake, and I know that the technology used is amazing, but I can't evaluate this weapon itself." No, you shouldn't.
The technology used to make this weapon, the time spent, the thoughts put into it. Everything was made with the owner in mind. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the first dedicated weapon. That's why it's not a substitute for evaluation. "
………………
Both Nil and I were about to weep when we heard Sidorba's words.
I'm sure Senna really did put her soul into the weapon when we weren't watching. My chest and eyebrows are burning.
“It's not a good weapon for everyone, it's a great weapon for certain people. It's not a good thing to rate.
However, even dwarf craftsmen can count those who can make weapons of this level.
Even if it were made of common materials like iron, I would have thought the same thing. ”
Nil's chest was stretched out with joy, and he looked proud.
"I'm glad to hear that."
“If you say that this was made by a friend, I'd really like to meet and talk to you.”
"Fufufu."
Nil can't stand it anymore and spills a happy laugh.
"As an artisan, you showed me something nice. Thank you."
Yeah.
"I don't know what to thank you for, but if you need anything, my wife and I will make it for you."
"Thank you. I actually had something for you to make, and I was wondering who to ask."
"What do you want me to make?"
"I want you to make a prosthetic arm for that Effe."
"Huh?!"
Efu is surprised at what I say.
"Even if it's a prosthetic hand, I want you to make a prosthetic hand that uses magic stones, not a regular prosthetic hand."
Prosthetic hands actually exist in this world.
There are quite a few people in this world who can't stand fighting monsters and have lost limbs.
Not all of them have prosthetic hands or legs, but there are more of them.
However, even if it is called a prosthetic arm or a prosthetic foot, there are many things that are basically just made of wood and mimic the shape, and there is almost no function as a hand or foot. It was the same even for rich people such as the nobility, and I had never seen a prosthetic leg or a prosthetic hand of a magic tool.
According to the story, if you move to the extent of holding and opening your hand, bending and stretching your ankle, there seems to be a prosthetic arm or a prosthetic leg that can be done with a magic stone, but it is quite expensive and it is not something that can be reached by ordinary people.
The reason is that it is technically difficult to create objects that perform complex movements like hands and feet, even though they are expensive.
What is difficult is that the Magic Stone Formation interferes with each other too closely. Because it has the characteristic of not triggering well, there is only one Magic Stone Formation that can be inserted into a prosthetic arm or a prosthetic leg.
When that happens, for example, if you use the power of wind magic to control movement, you can activate or deactivate the effects of the Magic Stone Formation. In other words, as a prosthetic arm or a prosthetic leg, it can only perform a single movement of gripping and opening.
Of course, it's better to use it than a prosthetic arm or a prosthetic leg that just mimics its shape, but it becomes expensive because it becomes a magic tool, and because it uses magic power every time it is gripped or opened, it can't be used by people with low magic power.
Therefore, in this world, prosthetic limbs and prosthetic tools are not popular, and they are not something that can be bought around here.
Moreover, if you make it so that it can withstand the battle, it's impossible for ordinary engineers to talk about it. Whether you want to buy an Effe's prosthetic arm, or you want to make it, you can't get it.
Of course, even if I tried to make it, it wouldn't be so complicated.
Therefore, when I came to the dwarf city at the top of the production system, I was thinking of having someone make it.
With that, the power of the Effes would change dramatically, even if it didn't come back to normal.
From here, as we head toward the demon world, the change in the power of the Foe that became my ally will have a significant impact later on.
It's a prosthetic tool...
Is it difficult?
“It's not easy.”
"Even among the Dwarfs, the prosthetic arm and the prosthetic leg are one of the well-made magic tools, but the difficulty varies greatly depending on the level of performance of the prosthetic arm."
When you become an adventurer, you mean a prosthetic arm that can be used in battle with monsters, right?
Yeah.
"When that happens, we have to create something that requires a lot of complex movement." Just a prosthetic hand that can hold a weapon is difficult to use, even if you don't have to say you can't use it. "
"I'll give you the money and the materials you need, so I want you to make something that you can use as much as you can."
…………………
As a thank you for showing me your weapon, it will be a very large production request, and whether or not you will accept it......
If you don't, you'll have to ask someone else.
"... All right, let's try."
But Sidorba no longer had to worry about that.
Really?!
"Yeah. Sometimes I just want to try something like this." It's a good opportunity. Let's do what we can. ”
Thank you! Thank you!
It's good!
Effe had a look on his face that seemed to say something, but I quickly proceeded to talk to Sidorba.
"In that case, we need to make a blueprint first." Shurna! Help me! "
Yeah!!
Sidorba, Ginavirna, and Shruna move with a happy face. Apparently, they are motivated by difficult requests.
