Chapter 22: Requirent number 2・Obtaining the tentative strongest weapon
Here’s the .
Quite a bit of terminology in here and I’m not especially knowledgeable in the topic, so I’m honestly not sure about so nas used here but I did use what I found and thought was right.
Anyway, enjoy.
「However, working to get a weapon that will be thrown away after a single use, I can’t seem to get worked up for it…」 (Tobi)
「Is that so? I believe it depends on the way you think about it. If we talk about single-use weapons, it could also an a decisive battle weapon! Or a secret weapon! It sounds kind of amazing just by saying it in another way」 (Hind)
「Oh! I’m feeling more motivated now!」 (Tobi)
「Right? Besides, it’s not like it’ll beco completely useless. I plan to sell it in the trading BBS after the event ends, attack type heavy warriors will definitely gladly use」 (Hind)
「That’s true. It would be hard for Yumir-dono to use it normally, but there would be no problems for a heavy warrior to use it after all」 (Tobi)
「Co on, don’t just stand there talking, move your hands. At any rate, it won’t change the fact that we need a large amount of iron」 (Hind)
「This type of work is so plain…even though we could say this kind of work is also part of a MMORPG’s charm」 (Tobi)
We earnestly swung our pickaxes.
They were sold at the second-hand shop, each one cost 100G.
The tis you can use it is roughly 30 tis.
Harvesting points are placed all over the place, but in the field to the east of Heathrow town, there are a lot of mines.
Therefore, it’s the ideal place to use the mining system to collect materials.
When it cos to the mining system, each mining point can be used by only 1 player and they are set to regenerate after a fixed amount of ti.
Regarding the items you mine, the amount and rarity are sowhat random, but to a certain extent the results are about the sa.
The important thing is the number of tis you mine.
The truth is…it’s currently early in the morning, right before we have to go and attend school.
Before going to school and right after returning ho, we log in for about 5-10 mins to collect materials.
If we add that to the ti we mine during our usual play-ti, we are able to mine quite the nice amount.
Since the usual way to obtain minerals is like this, they are quite hard to co by in the trading BBS.
It would be fine to use the money we have earned, but for the materials we want to use, our current financial situation is a bit tight.
With enough ti the shortage of materials will be gone, but at the present ti, we have to collect them with our own efforts.
「Ah, I’m done. How is it going over there?」 (Hind)
「Just need a bit more ti. Right now, the light from the mining point is starting to dim」 (Tobi)
「In that case, I’ll go ahead first and return to town then log out」 (Hind)
「Wait! Wacchi wait! I’ll get lonely!」 (Tobi)
「What’s with that…don’t just change back your way of speaking so suddenly」 (Hind)
「Since we are mining at the sa ti for a change, wait for just a bit」 (Tobi)
Just as he had said, for both of us to be here mining at the sa ti in the morning was a complete coincidence.
Once you register a player as a friend and they log in, the system notifies you of where they are, so as long as the timing is right, it’s easy enough to et up.
For the record, Yumir and Riizu said they would mine when they could as long as it didn’t interfere with their daily life but…both of them are quite weak in the morning.
Miyu just oversleeps but Rise has low blood pressure in the morning and at night.
There’s no need for them to force themselves to play the ga.
「You really dislike being alone huh…even though you didn’t mind being alone in the beginning」 (Hind)
「When you were a kid, didn’t you ever notice you were suddenly alone when you thought you were playing with everyone? That caused a bit of trauma to …being alone in the swings…with a mother that wouldn’t co and pick you up…in a park when it was turning dark…」 (Tobi)
「Ah, probably not for . I was usually dragged sowhere after Miyu got tired of playing around and I usually was the first one to return ho because I was worried about Rise」 (Hind)
「Am I the only one!? A-Anyway, I’m about to finish so wait for a bit longer!」 (Tobi)
「Guess I have no choice…」 (Hind)
While Tobi was swinging his pickaxe, I went around the harvesting points in the grassy places nearby.
Oh, there are dicinal herbs here.
Speaking of dicinal herbs, I believe it’s about ti I took an interest in making potions.
Once the event ends, I want to set up a ho and start working on it.
Ti passed and it was Sunday, 9pm, inside TB.
That night, I stood in the blacksmith’s workshop in 「Altrowa village」 with the large quantity of iron we four had collected in my inventory.
「Dah! I want a blast furnace! I want a blast furnace! With that, it would be easier to pour it into the template!」 (Hind)
While voicing my complaints, I stepped on the bellows.
The furnaces in the village are quite primitive, they are called 「Tempering furnaces」 and are about 1 ter in height.
We were in the second step at the mont, we had already done the first step which was to reduce the oxygen in the iron oxide by deoxidation.
By using the bellows I was earnestly increasing the temperature…
By the way, other than iron, we were also using the 「teoric iron」 we got from the teo Golems.
Mixing these two materials, we’ll make sothing of far better quality than what is usually made with simple iron! Or that’s what Selene-san said.
She said that nonchalantly while stepping on the bellows like .
「Co on, do your best. I would also like to have a blast furnace or bellows powered by water wheels, but we can’t complain about what doesn’t exist. We just need to keep it up for a bit longer, hang in there」 (Selene)
「Damn it! If TB is based in the middle-ages could they at least implent Stückofens! Hah, Hah…why is Selene-san not even out of breath!?」 (Hind)
「Because I’m used to it. Hind-kun, you are putting a lot of unnecessary force into it…yup, alright. From now on, we are finally entering the forging process」 (Selene)
For low rank blacksmithing there’s no need to manage the furnace, furthermore, by just making an approximate shape the weapons and defensive gear will co out of the furnace as if it was so sort of joke.
After that, just by striking them they’ll be completed, that only applies to low rank blacksmithing.
For stuff that’s more difficult, the process will turn more complex like this.
Since it’s a ga, the ti it takes to increase the temperature is shortened, then it also tells you the amount of iron you’ll need for it.
Particularly the latter one, things that might need about ten kilograms at most in real life to make have the amount necessary limited.
The weapon we are trying to make right now is like that so I’m personally grateful for it.
「Here we go!」 (Selene)
「Right!」 (Hind)
We were holding a hamr that was slightly bigger than a normal one, its weight would be around 3 kilograms in real life…or I believe that should be the case, inside the ga it gives the feeling that it weights the sa as it would in real life.
Even though they don’t really have to be so elaborate with stuff like this…we’ll have to swing the hamr multiple tis so this is quite tireso.
Weapons have weight corrections after all, why can’t they do the sa with these tools?
We brought down the hamr onto the reddened lump of iron.
Each ti it was struck, sparks flew around in a magnificent way.
My face was hot because of the heat…while removing the impurities with the pressure from the hamr, it was gradually taking form.
I smoothed out the parts that looked rough, Selene-san was making the more detailed parts with a hamr that had a different shape than a normal one.
「……」
「……」
We shared the image we had in mind.
We both didn’t say a thing, with coordinated movents, the weapon was being completed.
…Before long my arms stopped, all that was left was to watch over Selene-san’s work.
「Done!」 (Selene)
Selene-san raised her face.
She looked as if she was happy with her work, so she made a circle with her fingers.
The players around us were also looking over here with great interest.
「Ooh…seeing it in person…though it’s still inside a ga. It looks pretty real even inside VR, it’s quite impressive」 (Hind)
「All that’s left is to let it cool naturally, it’ll be done after we polish it. …Thanks for inviting over, Hind-kun. It was a really good experience for . M-Making…sothing with just the two of us was fun」 (Selene)
「It was also fun for . Thank you very much, Selene-san. All that’s left is if she’ll able to use this well or not…」 (Hind)
「This is not really what I’m into, but this also has a certain flair to it」 (Selene)
「Strength is power! Or sothing like that, it looks like sothing soone a bit stupid would use」 (Hind)
「…True」 (Selene)
The result was a giant sword over 2 ters long, longer than the height of a normal person.
Harder than the teoric iron from the teo Golems, literally a decisive battle weapon.
If this wasn’t a ga, Yumir would definitely be unable to lift this thing.
This weapon is not sothing that was arranged by us but sothing made from a blueprint that already existed in the ga.
「First-rate teo Golem Sword 2」…that’s the na of the finished weapon we got this ti via blacksmithing.
