Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 113 "Flames and Iron"
Aldney Wild seemed to have more customers than before, but it was still idle compared to shops that still dealt with popular skill items.
I look around the shop shelf and see what I need.
We don't have time right now, so we don't waste any money.
On the train back to Susano, Letty owes us money.
"Start by expanding your size?
I see.... that's why Letty is here!?
I was surprised at the presence of a red-haired girl standing behind me, nodding as she spoke very naturally.
She explained the situation with a smile on her cheek.
"Letty's an Interceptor, but there are a lot of good people out there headed by Astra, so Letty won't do it."
"That's right... I don't think it's funny if you follow me.
"No, don't worry about it."
For some reason, I deny it outright, and Letty sticks right behind me.
Well, if that's what she's doing, there's no reason to drag her away.
More than that, time is wasted now.
"How do you expand your tent?
"Basically, you have to choose the material of the frame and match the walls. I want strength this time, so I want to use the highest grade steel."
"I thought you didn't sell it at the NPC shop.
"That's why I came to buy the blueprints this time."
I will collect the data cartridges arranged on the shelves and grab them and buy them.
Inside is structural information on the parts needed to expand the camp.
"Neva and I will build on this."
I see.
In the meantime, I will buy all the blueprints out of stock.
They'll be back in a day anyway, and we don't have anyone who needs them that much in the first place.
"I want more armor, electromagnetic barrier generators, shock-absorbing pads, self-repairing nanomachines."
There are so many things.
I guess so. None of this was expensive and limited in use, so I couldn't really do it, but I can't say it right now. "
It's still a little cheaper than buying a finished product because it's just a blueprint.
Well, after that, I have to offer something more with the reward when I make a production request...
I'm glad you've improved your sampling skills.
"You were in the worst of bankruptcy."
Probably going bankrupt.
But I still want to protect that tree.
I stroke the head of the white moon that's been following me.
I don't suppose there's anything to it because I protected that tree, but I'm White Moon's partner.
"In the meantime, this is the best I can buy here."
"Anywhere else to go?
"There are also intermediate material items that cannot be produced. I have to buy it and collect it."
With that leg out of Aldney Wild, we head to the area lined with stores stocked with materials.
Production methods, such as precision gears and nanomachine solutions, are still elucidated.
Since most of them are essential ingredients for every item, they will be bought collectively.
"Gh...."
"What's wrong?
It's too heavy.
I wasn't usually aware of it, but this game has a weight limit.
If you wave BB to your arms, it will expand, but hate me is poor.
I couldn't move from there because I bought too many things.
"Fufufu, I can't help it, Mr. Reggie."
Letty laughs when she looks down at me like that.
"Wait a minute."
That's how she runs away, and I'm left alone on the corner.
Letty came back breathlessly as she waited with a suspicious look from the occasional players who could not move.
"Hey, where have you been?
Bye!
Letty widened her arms and three mechanical cows lined up in front of her.
She is a hauling machine cow (carriage cattle) callus, halibut, and sirloin that she uses in her Machine Operation skills.
Flashing a tri-color lamp, they can load their carcasses in a vault.
"Come on, please load it up."
"I see. I rub it."
The transport power of the three mechanical cows is enormous.
I was able to get rid of the overweight and then go around all the stores I had planned.
It's the carrying power of a boulder.
"Fufu, you can praise me even more."
"Oh, you were right to follow Letty."
"I see. Fufu...."
When I was told to praise you, for some reason I turned to you.
I will reach my final destination while tilting my neck at an inexplicable reaction.
"This is... It's huge."
A huge stone building.
The entrance is so high and wide that even with a stack of golems, there is plenty of room.
From inside, there is a constant scorching heat, and the sound of metal striking is constantly echoing.
Oh, you're here.
Standing up in front of the gate, an old man with burning skin appears from behind.
Tangan-Ski, a veteran blacksmith with the nickname "Red Iron" and head of Prometheus Industries.
He greeted us with a face buried in a white beard.
"Is this the home of Prometheus Industries?"
"Hmm. I don't have a name in particular, but I only call it a big workshop among my people."
"Is there another workshop?
"A few. Some of them are private, and others are borrowing from each other."
Around the massive furnace lined up, tough craftsmen sweat half naked.
Those who strike the sword, those who flow iron into the mold, some who make fine workmanship.
Prometheus Industries is a genuine group of professional craftsmen with unrivalled technical skills in the Damascus Union.
The size and number of members are the best in the production group, and the workshop is vast.
That's why you let some of them go for my camp expansion this time.
"That corner is where you are. The craftsmen there are free to use them. I'm working on the one I just received."
"Thank you. That's very helpful."
"Haha. There shouldn't be a choice but not to stick your neck in such an interesting event."
Tangan cheerfully raised his voice, waved his hand and disappeared to the private workshop.
When the rest of us came to the corner of the workshop he told us to, one of the men who was watching the fire in the furnace waved his hand.
"Reggie, I've been waiting."
"Neva, thank you again."
"I'm looking forward to working here because it's fresh. I think I can steal a lot from people around me."
Neva wipes sweat under her gray hair and says pleasantly.
The Prometheus Industries craftsmen Tangan gave us seem to have excellent skills in Neva's eyes.
Well, let's get into the deal right away.
"Oh, okay."
I also called the craftsmen who were preparing around and explained the items that I would be making.
The number is enormous and the time is short.
There were a few people in one furnace, and we needed to get ready to mass produce efficiently.
"This is the basic place....."
"Oh, what am I supposed to make?
Complete the distribution of all the basic parts such as the skeleton and wall material, and get into the work quickly.
Later, the blacksmith with Neva at the forefront stood tall.
One of them, the shark, raised his voice.
"I want the rest of you to make the most important parts. It's an armored plate that directly picks up seed 02."
"I see. It sounds like my arm is going to ring."
"You can't just be hard and simple, and you need to think about it from the design stage."
Neva spreads the paper around a large table placed in the middle of the workshop.
Should I put a shock absorbing pad in between with multi-layer armor?
"Armor plates need to be flexible by adjusting the amount of carbon. If it's too hard, you'll break it all at once."
"Let me see the materials I've prepared... I see, you can use a nanomachine."
The craftsmen keep their heads together, speak and run their pens around.
I was completely dumped and working with Letty to get the ingredients out of the calves and line up on the floor.
All right, Reggie.
"Nh, what's wrong?
Suddenly Neva called out and raised her face.
If there is any material missing, I am ready to grab my wallet and run right away.
"Please take down the boss. In the meantime, about five deeds."
"Because his skin seems just right for the material. I need a favor."
"... oh, oh"
Slightly lobby for orders that exceed expectations.
But there is no time.
Letty, let's go.
"Happiness!
I jumped out of the workshop and called out to the lactos.
