Weakest Occupation “Blacksmith” Become The Strongest

"Yesterday, I investigated the results. The rest is like a hundred."

As for the Authority, there was already a Mr. Lineal and he was given a paper that said yesterday's findings.

"... is that right? You still have more left than I thought."

"Yeah. In the meantime, I'm gonna go set up a trap like I did yesterday"

"If that's the case, I've got a trap for you. Shall we go?"

When I showed the bag, Mr. Lineal nodded.

We go into the groundwater supply with each other and break up once and for all.

I just set the trap all over the place and left the groundwater supply.

"Well, let's go check on the armor until we know how the trap works."

"Regards"

In the central district where the Authority is located, there are also guilds.

We were a little far from the administration, but there are some protective gear on the street to the guild.

Walk alongside Mr. Lineal.

"What kind of protective gear do you want?

"What is... what is it?

"To suit your style of combat, armor is what you choose. If we value manoeuvre, we don't do heavy equipment. Focus on avoiding one way or another with light gear, so the attack doesn't eat as much as possible. But it's like protecting only the steeple."

"... I see"

"If you're good at ranged attacks, you're still something similar. However, this one should try to choose as much magical gear as possible contained in Demon Ore. Because it affects my magic."

"Mithrill, or something, right?

"I think it's just too soon."

You're right, Mr. Lineal.

"Surely, there was something common about demon ore and something special, wasn't there?

"Yeah. Generally many people use protective equipment like bronze, iron, steel, silver, gold, platinum demon ore"

... I know because there are a few things that I can make around here.

However, if I were to make it, it would only have consumed demon stones.

Even if dismantled, Demon Ore cannot be recovered and only Demon Stone returns.

Maybe all of them will also be able to make weapons such as silver, gold, etc.

"Uncommon rare demon ore is Mithril or Orihalcon, right?

"Yeah. And then with Hihiirokane, Adamantite, Damascus Demon Ore? They can be retrieved very rarely in the labyrinth. If you get it, you might want to make your own protective gear."

... In my case, can you make protective equipment too?

If we can build protective equipment with misrills and such, can we get enough power to line up on artifacts as well?

"In the meantime, I think F to E rank adventurers should have protective equipment that combines bronze and demonic materials"

"You want the best you can because you have a lot of money to spare"

"Then... I think it's in the store until the steel-based protective equipment."

"Then you want to consolidate it with them"

"Then let's go to the store. Follow me."

Enter the back alley off the main road with Mr. Lineal.

... I never really came around here.

There are men who look like they have a bad pattern to watch.

Some people seem to be vagabonds. When I look into their eyes more than ever, I want to stop by accident.

If you're a beautiful girl like Mr. Lineal, wouldn't they be after you?

That's what I thought, but nobody got tangled up here.

"Don't worry, the people here are bummed once"

"Mr. Lineal is strong, isn't he?"

"I'm C-ranked now, but I'm accumulating points, so I plan on getting up to B-rank as long as I can take the exam"

"... is that right"

Few adventurers can raise from C to B rank.

... Mr. Lineal seems to have quite the skill.

It's one house I went into with Mr. Lineal.

... From what I saw, it looked more like a normal house than a store.

However, by going inside, I found out that I was a protective equipment store.

The doll, which was placed as soon as it entered, was fitted with blue full-body armor.

... Cool.

Besides, if I looked closely, I could see that I was being granted skills.

Damage increased. S-rank.

Heh. Disadvantaged equipment, but it looks strong if you can grant it to your opponent.

I want this. If you look closely, you can see that the equipment in the store is endowed with quite a few skills from top to bottom.

"Oh linear. Customers."

The owner looks like an old woman. She was like a witch.

... Is she making gear here?

"Well, that's the place. I want you to look at this kid's gear."

"Heh, I can't believe a linear brought a man"

"Sometimes, right?

"Right. Man, it was zero. Hihihi, so brother. You said you wanted protective gear.

"... Yes"

Question moved on to me. The old woman came here and here.

"Then, first of all, these two accessories. Which one do you want?

"... Huh? What do you mean?

I wanted to check your eyes.

Stick around and see two accessories the old lady has.

... right demon stone and left demon stone.

Negative skills had both been granted.

"Both are good to watch, but you don't want to wear them."

To my words, the old woman opened her eyes.

At the same time, Mr. Lineal looked at this one as surprised.

"... linear. Were you talking to him beforehand?

"Every time, I can't tell you because Baa's question is different. I'm not telling you anything."

"Heh... Hihihi, yeah. Why don't you work here? You can live with those eyes."

... Apparently, I was surprised to discover that negative skills had been granted.

"Uh, now, uh, you're not really interested."

"That's a waste. I have good eyes. I made these two properly. Wouldn't do much good, would it?

"... right"

"Eighty percent of the merchants in the world don't have eyes. So you're too talented to be a merchant."

... Indeed. There are more worthless things out there than the world thinks.

Conversely, what is worthwhile is often not properly appreciated.

"I'm glad to hear that, because I'm somewhat of an artisan"

"Craftsman? What, are you an 'artisan' too?

"... no, I'm a blacksmith"

"Uh, really? I'm sorry to hear that again."

Baa gives a wholeheartedly depressed voice.

Then Baa saw this one and Mr. Lineal.

"So did you like the linear? So you want me to build you a special weapon?

"Yeah."

As Mr. Lineal nodded, Baa chuckled.

"'Craftsman' can make anything, but the only thing you can't make is a weapon."

The profession of 'craftsman' can make anything.

Unlike me, they can't make things in an instant, but they can make anything cleverly.

"Can't you make a weapon?

"Right. When I try to make it, my chest hurts. Excellent swords, swords without blades, day-to-day knives, that's the limit."

"... is that right"

Can't you make something that can be used in action?

"That's what we talked about. It's protective equipment... do you like anything in this store?

"Right...... can I take a look around the store for a second?

"Oh, I don't mind."

I keep looking around the store.

... I see.

There are various pieces of equipment.

There are a lot of steel-based equipment, but they combine dragon scales with it.

There seem to be many different types of dragons as well.

... I wanted to check on Val's race later too, but I'm busy right now.

And that was then.

I found some dust-covered protective equipment placed in the corner.

"... this-"

I know it's a piece of equipment made of silver, but it looked like it was just made of hemp.

Skills are also granted. Damage reduction and slash resistance.

I thought they were both S-ranked and the best in this store.

"This is it, okay?"

As I say, Baa has looked at this one as surprised.

"... after all, your eyes are what heaven gave you"
