"...Aaaand done. Good, the necklace is finally done."
The finished product is simple. It doesn't look like an expensive piece of jewelry but it's quite eye-catching for ordinary people due to the design and how shiny it was. The scale which is the pendant is now in the form of a dragon that I reshaped using the flas on my fingers. It was a lot easier to do using my fingers compared to tools that are hard to control.
I tilted my head for a bit to look for any kind of bad side on the necklace. I have to do this usually as that is usually the main cause of the necklace looking good at the front but looking sh*tty at the back.
"Good, this one is a success. It doesn't possess any kind of powers but it is good enough to wear if paired with good clothes. Now that I have gotten the hang of necklaces, let's make so bracelets next."
Compared to the necklaces, the bracelets take more than one scale to create compared to one necklace. If resources-wise, the better things I needed to create should be necklaces but I wouldn't like them because it lacks variety.
"Alright, let's get going to it right away!"

Since I have experienced it before and I just needed to relive it to help my hands rember the moves, it allowed to easily complete the item without much problem. The bracelet is looking good too but all I can say is that it was a failure. It's a bracelet that I wanted anyone can wear but I ended up making a bracelet that can't be resized in any kind of hands, thick or thin. The size of the current bracelet is only enough to stay put in an average size hand but it would fall if put on a bit thinner hand and will not fit if used on a bit fatter and bigger hand. Still, my hands seem to have already rembered how to move as usual on it.
I looked at my watch and realized that it was already so late and I also realized that I was so absorbed in my work that I didn't eat lunch. No wonder I felt hungry already. Looks like my attitude of focusing on myself too much still remains here in the past tiline. Old habits die hard.
"I guess that's it for the day. I will co back here again once I am free."
Stretching my hands, I realized that the thugs that were left outside were staring at the door. Since it was made of clear glass anyone from the outside can see who is inside and what is currently happening without opening the door while those who are inside can also see who is currently peeking and those standing outside.
I took out all of the scales back to my backpack and the necessary tools I will need to carry and left the others in the workshop as they are much heavier and it would be really inconvenient for to keep on lugging them around my car.
When they saw coming to the door, the thugs imdiately moved away from the door and returned to their posts where they were before. Well, I don't mind them. They didn't do anything and they aren't even breaking so I doubt it.
Locking the door and pulling down the shutters, I turned to look at the thugs. They are quick at turning their eyes to the other side without saying anything, trying to avoid conversation with just to avoid from berating them. Of course, I don't have any kind of intention to do those as that is a waste of ti.
Putting the padlock and locking the shutters, I also put double protection that will activate if soone unauthorized to enter the room will try to break in. Let's just say it would punish those who try to trespass without any rcy from .
I turned to look at the thugs for one last ti before I went inside the car and drove off. It isn't as productive as I thought it would be but it was enough that I am not yet rusty enough in creating stuff. And since I am hungry, I should stop at the nearest steakhouse and eat so lunch. With all the work done, I think a steak would energize again and lighten up my mood. Yep, let's do just that.

["Welco Back, Bladeheart"]
Once I returned ho, I imdiately log back into the ga. With the ongoing quest, I don't want to miss a lot of stuff especially since I already missed a pack of events while being stuck underground.
Getting back in Alternate World, I imdiately went to the camp where the two queens are currently staying. According to everyone, after my disappearance, the two queens were worried and Queen Tori killed the soldier who caused to fall into the depths as soon as possible.
I was shocked when I heard about that. I wanted to deal with that soldier once I get back but to think Queen Tori had already done the deed, I missed the opportunity to have so little fun.
"This is Bladeheart, reporting in. Are anyone inside?"
"Bladeheart? Thank goodness you are back!" Queen Tanya is the very first one to rush and hugged all of a sudden.
"Wha- what are you doing, your majesty?!"
"You idiot! Why did you even get yourself stuck in that kind of situation?! You had us worried!"
"Ahahaha, I apologize but it wasn't even my intention that I ended up falling into that place."
"Hah... at least you have returned safely and that is all that matters. I won't forgive myself if you were not able to get back due to my negligence," Queen Tanya removed herself from hugging and pat on the shoulder.
"Welco back to the frontlines, Bladeheart."
"Ha, I didn't expect you to be still alive, Bladeheart. You are one true warrior to have been able to escape and tell the tale," Queen Tori grinned as she raised her mug of hot chocolate as a gesture of toast to .
"Ugh, I don't want to rember it that much. Even though nothing much happened, it made forced on dealing with so monsters that are close to immortals and I barely managed to win. I would rather not do that again if possible."
"I see. So that place was really that bad huh? To think that an accident would lead to us discovering the hidden place underground of the mountains. Anyways, are you really okay now?" Queen Tori asked.
"Can you tell us so tidbits of info about it, Bladeheart?"
"Info? What kind? There are plenty of things that happened to down there."
"If it wasn't troubleso, then can you tell us everything? We tried to follow you using the place you fell into but it was too dangerous due to how steep and slippery the walls were to go down there. The more info we have. the better it will be on mapping the place and determining whether so places are much more dangerous than on the surface."
"Not a problem but first, I think you guys should take a look at this."
I grab a certain broken item from my inventory and put it down on the table. Queen Tanya frowned and Queen Tori imdiately grab it as she quickly examined it. A few seconds later, her eyes grew wide after identifying the item in her hands.
"The Carnwennan?!"
"Yes. Since the purpose of this expedition is to retrieve the artifacts that King Arthur used and got lost in this frozen region, I think it is just necessary for to show this thing out as the first thing for to do after returning."
"You found this item back when you were stuck underground?"
"Yes. I also couldn't believe that one of the artifacts of the famous King Arthur would appear down there. I only happened to co across it so it wasn't sothing I have expected to see over there. Finding it was just a pure chance of luck while I was looking for a way to go back to the surface."
"Just by retrieving this piece is a big thing already, Bladeheart. And to think you would be able to get the Carnwennan only solidifies that the other artifacts of King Arthur are also there," Queen Tori continued to analyze the dagger in her hands.
"So how did you get across with this thing, Bladeheart? It would be sothing if you just happened to pick it up while exploring the place," Queen Tanya looked at .
"Yes indeed. I didn't just find this anywhere, I happened to co across it when I am looking for the way out, stuck on a single huge block of ice."
"A huge block of ice?"
"Yes. It was stuck there like soone deliberately stab it there and forgotten to pull it back out after using it. I thought it has no purpose when it was stuck there until the mont I pulled it out from the big slab of ice."
"What happened?"
"The mont I pulled out the Carnwennan's blade, I realized that the original tip of the blade has been broken and cannot be used as it was before. And the mont I pulled it out of the slab, the slab of ice lted and revealed to have sealed a beast on the ice. A dragon to be precise."
"A dragon?!" the two were surprised.
"Yes. And I don't bla you for reacting like that since Dragons are considered to be really strong and hard to kill as it takes a lot of firepower and resources just to bring down a dragon down. However, the situation at that ti was different. The dragon was too weak at the mont and even though it was hostile, it wasn't strong enough to unleash all of its powers. I took advantage of its weakness to finish it off and managed to kill it."
"Can you tell us more about this dragon? Why would a dragon be randomly sealed by the Carnwennan? I heard that the Carnwennan might be the weakest weapon from the arsenal of King Arthur's artifacts but it was strong enough to kill a dragon easily according to the rumors."
"I have limited info about it but according to the system, the na of the dragon is called "Pendragon" allowing to speculate the main reason the Carnwennan is used to the dragon."
"Pendragon? Isn't that the surna of King Arthur?" Queen Tanya looked at Queen Tori.
"Yes. It is the surna of King Arthur. Arthur Pendragon."
"Indeed. And the reason that I think why the Pendragon is sealed on it using the Carnwennan is due to the fact that King Arthur himself can't kill a dragon that is sohow related to him in any kind of way. He might not be a dragon but perhaps his blood has pure blood of a dragon flowing on it that we don't know and that is how the Pendragon and King Arthur is connected in so way."
