Weakest Occupation “Blacksmith” Become The Strongest

At the entrance to the groundwater supply there was a locked gate.

Mr. Lineal unlocks the key and opens the gate.

Shortly after entering, he closed the key from the inside and closed the gate securely.

"I'll lend you one of these keys."

"Thank you"

"When it's all over, give it back"

When I received the key I was given, the letter "can be made" appeared.

... I've never rubbed it without it, but it looks like I'd rather destroy it once to turn it into an item box.

I guess I can give you the keys this way because I have a guild card.

Personal information on the guild card seems to be shared by all fairies.

I don't know how the hell it works, but they can't escape fairy tracking unless someone signed up for a guild card once.

I got the keys, and I'm going down the stairs that lead to the groundwater supply with Mr. Lineal.

The groundwater supply was dim and we finally saw the way ahead using the magic prop lights.

Receive one light that Mr. Lineal had prepared.

Pretty expensive magic tricks.

I often hear that noble houses and traveling merchants carry them, but they are not yet popular with the general family.

Still, I don't have enough technology to mass produce.

It's just... apparently it's workable. Shall we sneak it out later?

"Do you have a demon stone?

"Er... yes, there was"

I put my hand in the back pocket and took the demon stone out of the item box.

"Because the back of the handle part is open, if you put a demon stone in it, you can use it."

"Okay."

As I was told, open the handshake part back.

Then, when I put the demon stone inside, I repeated the brightness several times.

That, can't it be with this demonic stone?

The moment I peeked in, I let out a strong light.

As I hit him directly in the eye and accidentally twisted myself, I heard Mr. Lineal's little laugh.

When his vision was restored, Mr. Linial had already returned to some unmotivated look.

"Ri, Mr. Lineal just laughed!?

"A little."

"... isn't that terrible already?"

"That's bad I blew myself up"

You remembered, Mr. Lineal loosened his mouth a little again.

... Well, would the distance have narrowed a little?

Me and Mr. Lineal use the lights to walk down the road by the groundwater.

Walk side by side with me, Mr. Lineal, on a stretch of road.

Considering even doing the battle, acting together is going to narrow the move.

"What is Mr. Lineal's style of combat like?

"I will beat you with this wand"

"... Yep"

I'm surprised at Mr. Lineal's motivated words.

She gently turned the wand she was carrying before putting it on her hips.

"My artifact is this, but because I like to fight in close proximity"

"... is that right"

"Yeah. So I'll take care of the melee."

... Some people have artifacts that are different from what they dreamed of.

Neither do I.

The truth is, I wanted a combination like Lynn that could fight bursts.

But the reality was I was a blacksmith.... No, I don't feel bad about this profession now either.

Some people in the world would have gotten artifacts and professions different from what they intended that way.

... weapons, huh?

Is it really something that doesn't require a blacksmith to make weapons?

Isn't it only the blacksmith who can prepare the weapon that was in that person for someone who wants to fight but can't fight?

It's just, well, I'm heavily aware that artifacts are too good and that ordinary weapons are not enough.

If we could make enough weapons to line up the artifact, or maybe the story would change.

"This is the trap... you're on"

Mr. Lineal distorts his mouth.

There was a barrier unfolding there, like a square junction.

Bloodmouth was in one piece desperately rampaging within the barrier.

On the floor, bait is placed to catch Bloodmouth.

I guess Bloodmouth was eating that.

I eat it on the floor but it's rolling.

"This is the trap. Bloodmouse steps on this demonic stone placed under the bait activates a small junction"

Mr. Lineal points to the flat demon stone placed on the road.

... I see.

That junction device seems to be capable of mass production, too. Exactly, I wouldn't have that much use because of the small size, but would you like me to sneak it out later?

"All you have to do is unbind and defeat Bloodmouth"

"... ok. Sounds like a tough time in there."

Mr. Lineal turns his hand on the junction device.

I pull out my sword and look at Bloodmouth.

Bloodmouth escaped the moment the junction device was released. I turned around and shook my sword down.

Bloodmouth's body was amputated.

Exactly, when I saw Bloodmouth stopped moving with it, Mr. Lineal exhaled with relief.

"Again, it's a lot different when you two are around"

"... when Mr. Lineal was doing it alone, were you going to unbind him and then defeat him?

"Yeah. So I got away with it once in a while"

"That was pretty tough..."

"... yeah"

Mr. Lineal sighed lightly before looking at this one.

"I'm gonna go check all the junction devices at this rate"

"Okay."

He then went with Mr. Lineal to check the rest of the junction device and safely finished off five Bloodmice.

Still, Bloodmouth seems to be everywhere. I was checking and counting with visual enhancement, but I didn't like it enough to stop.

"Setting up new boundaries again"

"... I see that, Mr. Lineal. I have a good idea."

"What?"

"My artifact is this hammer… I can inflict a powerful poison on what I beat with this hammer"

I take out the hammer, which is my artifact.

I saw that in a small size that I could handle with one hand, and Mr. Lineal was tilting his neck.

"Poison? But didn't poison work on demons?

"No, that worked for goblins and other demons. So if you can mix poison with bait, I thought maybe..."

"... I see. Anyway, it's going to take some time this way, and maybe you can give it a try."

Mr. Lineal will pass the bait over here.

After I grabbed it, I pretended to want it with a hammer.

Of course, my artifacts don't have such abilities, but the power of artifacts, if I may say so, is easy to falsify.

The poison attack was granted while gripping.

"And then we'll line this up in a few places"

"Yeah. I'll also install the junction device as usual"

In case you fail, you'll have to hunt like you normally do.

It's just that I've already experimented.

You should be fine.
