Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 35 "The Unheard"
A high-pitched sound echoes through the workshop.
Whenever Neva strikes a golden eagle, the red hot ingot scatters sparks and transforms itself.
"Looks pretty powerful up close."
"I've never seen Neva do blacksmithing before."
Few metal parts are used in the fang series that Letty and I made. Since Forestwolf fur is used as the main material, Neva used the Sewing skill to make it.
"Letty wants to use a metal hammer someday."
I don't think I can do that because I'm going to have to apply a negative correction to my arts if I'm wearing metal equipment.
Letty, standing next to her, looks at the golden floor, sparkling with light and enthusiasm.
It seemed difficult to equip Lacto, which is based on arts, because the use of metal armor and metal weapons reduces its power. It was explained that because the nanomachine is induced into metal and diffuses, etc., it was not well understood.
"Even blacksmiths, production skills aren't actually assembling items, are they?
"I think it was like a mini-game process."
I couldn't say for sure, because neither Lacto nor I were involved in production skills. However, it seems that only Letty, who is gathering information from Mame, has been through the field for the first time, opening the mouth of something that is a little confident.
"Do you think you can beat the needle at the right time according to the rhythm, or trace the points displayed to advance the needle? I don't make it as faithful to the boulder as it really is."
"Still, it's hard for people who aren't used to it."
At least I can't, Amy shrugs her shoulders.
"You want to try out your production skills."
Really? What a surprise. "
Unexpectedly zero words. Letty raised her face and raised her ear.
"When you're camping outdoors, you want to try barbecues and cooking lunch boxes."
"Ah, that way...."
When I answered, Letty dropped her shoulder openly as if she were stunned.
I don't know what I was expecting, but I was originally playing with the camp on the spindle.
"Okay, it's time to do it!
In doing so, Neva raised her face to the gold floor. Reflecting the light of the ore furnace, the wheat skin seeps with dust and sweat, a refreshing expression full of achievement.
We will also regain consciousness to her voice and wait for the finished product to appear.
Neva sank it into a bucket of water formed on a golden floor. The heat came off with the sound of water vapor popping and the final finish was finished.
"Did you do well?
I was worried before I made any requests.
When asked, Neva looked at the display for a while and nodded with her white teeth.
"Perfect. It's also registered in the recipe."
"Gotcha!
Amy cheers on Neva's voice.
It's a new piece of equipment that I'm looking forward to with her. I can't help getting excited.
For now, let me show you.
Neva moves in front of the workbench and summons us.
Confirming that everyone was gathered, she takes out the shield she just made from the inventory.
It's like a steel fang double shield.
It was a pair of shields in a streamlined shape that made a loud noise. Smooth and thin toward the tip, like a snake's head. Equipped to cover your elbows and fists, they seemed to be able to guard you with sturdy steel.
Amy has never dealt with shields, so she certainly has a Shield Ability of Level 0. She asked Neva to make something as low-skilled as possible so she could handle it. And yet, the appearance is not so elaborate, it is simple and simple.
"I've never made a pair of shields that can be used as a weapon."
Regardless of the required skills at the time of use, the blacksmithing skills required for production would have been considerable. Neva lowered her chest and said it was good that she managed to succeed. If you don't know how to make a normal shield, perhaps this time she created a new piece of equipment that is unprecedented, so the sense of accomplishment will be satisfactory.
The last two requests I made. It was a pair of shields that assumed the ability to function as a shield as well as a weapon, and to be equipped one at a time on the left and the other at a time.
Neva gives Amy the data. She installs it quickly and displays it on the spot.
"You look great!
"This looks pretty vicious to me."
"I don't know if it's a weapon or a defense."
When we see how Amy is doing well, we express our feelings to each other.
Ehehe. Thank you, Neva. I'll take care of it. "
"You're welcome. Regardless of your skill, Shield skill is a required equipment, so be careful."
"That's right. Well, it looks like you need 10 skills to use this shield."
Amy lowers her eyebrows in comparison to her skills and steel fang shields.
Naturally, she hasn't developed her Shield skills at all, so she won't be able to handle it right away.
Even if equipped, this toon gains Defense, Attack, and cannot use Techniques.
First you'll need to buy a beginner's shield at the NPC shop or something, and then you'll need to improve your skills.
"Basic wood shields can be built quickly, but what do we do?
Neva proposes to go there.
Amy shook her hand with a bright expression.
"I'd love to!
"Ahahah. It's okay, it's okay. Products are of a slightly better quality than NPC products."
Appreciating Amy, Neva smacks her chest.
She made a simple wooden shield that looked like a pot lid so quickly without taking so much time.
This one can be used from skill 1. You should train now. "
"Thank you so much. - Yes, how's it going?"
I see. I didn't spend that much on ingredients.... "
I noticed a lot, Amy.
After some thought, Neva raises three fingers.
"30,000 bits!?
"Fufu. No, no, it's 3,000 bits."
"Is it that cheap?
To Amy, who was surprised and in the opposite sense surprised, Neva shook her shoulders.
"It's okay. I also got a new recipe. As I said before, I don't use a lot of ingredients."
"Thank you so much...."
Amy nodded and gave Neva 3,000 bits.
Yes, just now. If you want to break or update it, please contact me. I'm mostly here. "
"Yes, please."
Then they can sign up for a friend so they can get in touch at any time.
After a series of deals, Amy saw again the shields she had equipped on her arms. The bluntly glowing sharp corner shield also seems to be largely chest tight and reliable.
"Now, let's do a little digging!
Oh, just a cage.
"Don't talk like an old man."
Letty shouts out loud.
When I accidentally put tea in my mouth, I was stuffed with pointy mouth.
"It's my uncle and I can't help it. First, we need to go to the cartridge shop and get the shield technique."
"I see. Ah, it's going to cost a lot of money."
"I think it's an initial investment."
For some reason, the lact is also rounded off and unexpectedly stiff.
In the meantime, the women left the workshop and were left behind with Neva.
"Come on, everybody's leaving."
"I wonder what party members think of me...."
"You don't hate me."
"I think so."
I thank Neva again and leave her.
We rendezvoused with Letty, who was waiting in front of the workshop door, and we left the eccentric craft behind.
