Is It Wrong To Try A New Start In Another World With A Dungeon - Chapter 30 Ch 28
Hephaestus: Right now I have to forge a commissioned weapon, do you want to see the process?
Jean: Sure!
Spectating a goddess of forging will be a really beneficial toward my skills with the hammer.
Hephaestus: But there’s something I have to tell you. I most certainly won’t talk as it could disturb me and… well, it is not anything that my Divinity could accept…
Jean: Huh? Divinity? You mean…
Hephaestus: Well, if you didn’t know before, I think you have arrived at the right conclusion now.
Hephaestus: Every god is associated with an element, like my Forging, or Loki’s Trickery, or also your goddess’ Destruction. These elements are what define our existence. And as they are part of us, we are compelled toward those.
Hephaestus: My Divinity compel me to continue forging item after another, one more powerful than the precedent, and as don’t fully concentrate in the process it isn’t the best course of action during forging…
Jean: I understand. I absolutely won’t open my mouth.
I am a bit curious about the Divinity, but it isn’t the time for that.
—————————————————————————————————————
I put my eyes in a process that is more close to a miracle than actual forging.
It is incredible how much she has the capability to obtain the best from the materials.
Compared to me, there’s a difference between a puddle and a sea. I can’t do 0.001% of what she can do.
But at least, I comprehended a really tiny amount from what had done.
In my movements, I don’t control perfectly my power, and for that, I have to wait a bit more as doing that is only permitted to real advanced blacksmiths, and because of that, the result will be a material somewhat ‘heterogeneous’, and will cause ripple to form more easily during combat.
As for one of the most important thing…
The Will.
Actually, I had a few questions about that and she responded at the best of her capabilities, despite being a not really easy thing to talk.
I thought that during the process of forging, the best thing to do other than execute every step at the best of your capabilities is your ‘Image’ of the final product.
Actually, it’s not that simple. Imaging a weapon is certainly one important factor, but actually putting your will in every stroke made, is what decide the fate of your product. The Image is only a fantastical interpretation of what you think is the best outcome after all the process…
For example, Hephaestus had to forge a weapon for someone that She didn’t talk about who is, but she affirmed that he has a ‘fierce’ personality, and that would be reflected in his style of combat.
The weapon he requested, a two-handed axe, was forged with the will of making a weapon ‘sturdy’ and somewhat ‘violent’, and this is what she had done…
Hephaestus: I’ll call you ‘Bloodbath’.
–
<bloodbath
Rank: S (semi-divine)
Skill: (S), (S), <berserker’s aura=””>(S).
An Axe made by the best blacksmith in the current world. Indestructible and really violent, it will obtain more power as the fight goes on…
(S)
The weapon can only be damaged by items that withstand the same level of sturdiness.
(S)
Absorb the blood of enemies and instead of dulling the blade, it will become sharper.
<berserker’s aura=””>(S)
The wielder will have 1.5x stats when using this, but the cognitive process will be restricted.
–
…It’s the ideal item she wanted to craft.
Hephaestus: *sigh* With the materials that I have, this is one of the best I can create.
Jean: Wait, I think that it’s not right to call that weapon to be ‘only’ the best you can create.
Hephaestus: Yes, it is. You don’t know but in Heaven, there are more materials with better characteristics, and also they don’t have any type of impurity…
Jean: Wow… Heaven must be the ‘heaven’ of blacksmiths, hahaha.
Hephaestus: Hahaha, you are completely right…
Jean: It’s a bit late, so I have to return to my mansion…
Hephaestus: Yes, and study a bit the different characteristics of the materials, as the next time I will request you to make a particular weapon…
Jean: Yes. Also if it’s possible I want to make armors, as it isn’t exactly what I can do now…
Hephaestus: Well, you only need to do what you can do now. In the future, you’ll be able to create great equipment… But now let’s stop talking, you have a beautiful goddess waiting for you at home, don’t you?
Jean: Ohoh, but I also have a beautiful goddess here~.
She blushed a bit, but she hurried me to go…
Jean: To the next time~.
—————————————————————————————————————
As I was humming happily toward my home, I was visiting the Store to see if there’s anything that can help me with my objectives, and… there were… probably in a number more than 10^20…
From book, tools, materials and also machines… there was more than half a quadrillion only regarding blacksmithing.
Ans also having a price range between 100~100.000.000.000 DMP.
The most expensive one, for now, is listed as an error, though I don’t know why…
And so I had a passing thought… If buying a book from the store is somewhat troubling, as it’s not like they list materials or guides of this world, why don’t I visit a few bookstores and also see if I can find alibrary.
I will talk about that with Shiva and Haruhime. The former because she has probably the answer I want, and the latter because she likes reading books…
Now, let’s make a delicious dinner and make happy my two lovely women~.
Jean: But tomorrow is Saturday… mmh…
I really want to do something special for tomorrow…
As they really appreciate my cooking, preparing something to eat is for the best…?
Maybe I should first go to the market and after that verify if I can cook something that is not from this world…
Yes, and now that I’m going toward it, buying different type of food and spices…
*sigh*. Now that I think, I also have to buy ingredients for potions and also different metals to use when forging…
Inventory… I am fortunate that I have you with me… despite you are not so great now…
Now that I think… when a blacksmith or any other person needs many things, they use a caravan?
Oh, well, with my skills I probably can do something about that type of problem, like a garage bag or a storage ring like the ones in the Wuxia novels…
—————————————————————————————————————
As I was heading toward my house, I sensed a presence staring at me. It wasn’t powerful, but the problem was with where was coming… the giant tower, image of the city, Babel…
In other words, the one that is watching me is probably Freya. And it isn’t too good that she is watching me…
As for what I know, is that that beautiful goddess only take a liking towards children with powerful souls…
I don’t know what mine look like, but I am pretty sure that isn’t a real hero soul as real ‘Heroes’ don’t have my mentality or anything like that.
The System told me that he can somewhat modify a soul, but it can’t change it completely, and this only deepened the mystery toward it…
For now, it’s better if I ignore that. It doesn’t cause any problem for me, and it’s not like I can do anything to solve that…
Also, I need to warn my goddess and Haru of that. One is a goddess, and she’ll only make a move in the Denatus, as the other one… well, Freya didn’t make problems towards Bell apart from the minotaur, so I can only hope it’ll be OK…
of mine… I know that in the future will make troubles, but there isn’t anything that I can do now…
Now, for distracting myself a bit, as I am in the marketplace, I can at least think of a dish to prepare for tomorrow…
Eureka! If I can find the counterparts of this world, if they exist, to ingredients from mine it will be ok!
Let’s continue and ignore this unnerving two eyes glaring at me…
—————————————————————————————————————
What a fulfilling day…
Really, buying in the market with a stalker looking at me was a fulfilling experience, one that I won’t forget for much time…
But If I take the positive part, then it’s a day that made me approach a bit the peak of cooking…
I brought different ingredients apart from the ones needed for tomorrow.
Sugar, salt, basil and the fungus with similar properties of sourdough were somewhat high-priced, probably because of the lack in this region…
Fortunately, cheese was cheap, as farms were filled with animals and managed by different familia with gods that are related to Fertility and Agriculture, byproducts of milk were common. And another discovery is that there aren’t many types of cheese, as there are 2 called only hard cheese and soft cheese. It’s not that important but because of that, different plates are not feasible… Well, as long as I don’t make the others I need…
I also bought flour that wasn’t like the one used by my parents, probably because the wheat was grinded a few times, not the one I knew that was grinded only 1 time, but the rare piece I obtained were the tomatoes…
Tomatoes, as the climate in Orario it’s not the best for farming these, are used only by the rich ones.
Actually, for a lower price, I brought twenty boxes of these and because of that, the farmer lowered the price.
Oh, and he actually told me that if I can buy another 20 boxes of these in the span of 5 months, he’ll make a private contract with me and a 20% discount on all.
Really, what a great farmer…
Well, his choice was somewhat influenced by my rank C .
What a mysterious skill that one…
And thinking that… nevermind…
Well, I cannot wait for tomorrow!
—————————————————————————————————————
Jean: I’m home!
Shiva: Welcome Jean!
At the entrance, there was a wild Shiva with a maid costume…
A woman in a maid dress… the dream of all men…
*inhales* *exhales*… let’s control us a bit… there’s the evening for that…
Jean: Are you cosplaying…?
Shiva: What is cosplaying?
Jean: Ah, well…
The sight was a bit too much of a surprise for me…
Jean: You look great with that on…
Shiva: Haruhime and I decided to clean a bit of the upper floors… this one is only for don’t dirt my personal clothes… and, actually, the house is too big and we only cleaned about three-quarter of the floor…
Jean: I know that, but it isn’t a problem. In the future, we will have so many members that they won’t be able to enter here, and at that price was like a gift for us…
Jean: There are a few hours before dinner, what about giving you help?
Shiva: Go to Haruhime on the upper floors and help her…
And as I was walking towards the stairs…
Jean: By the way, have you destroyed anything today?
Shiva: D-Don’t worry… I controlled a bit and only two pot broke…
With telling her ‘good work’ with a face on the verge of bursting laughing I moved toward the upper floor, where there was Haruhime with a matching maid dress with Shiva’s one…
Haruhime: Welcome. Have you seen Shiva?
Jean: Hello, and Yep. By the way, why are you cleaning the bath here?
Fuuuuu, a fox-eared beauty in a maid dress… with that my dragon wanted to fly without any inhibitions, but the heavens had to restrain it, as the time has not come…
Haruhime: l wanted a really big bath where all of us could take one together…
Jean: Haru, GG! With a bath like that, I can live here! I would love bathing here all the times!
Baths are great, but one like ours is more like a hot spring! Only imaging bathing here can make me relaxed…
This bath is 10×10 meters, and is placed in the upper floors because of a particular option installed here… the only problem is that it is a bit rusty, so the mechanism for that would be repaired a bit before working properly…
Jean: By the way, if you are free tomorrow I want you and Shiva to help me a bit… I have a surprise for tomorrow dinner…
Haruhime: Sure, and I don’t think that she has any commitment for tomorrow, so we’ll help.
Jean: Great! I think that this will be revolutionary in your eyes…
The Hostess of Fertility’s plates are really good, but there isn’t too much variety, so revealing this will affect the lives of everyone…
As they say, if you want the world, you have to pass from his belly.
Or it was a man… well, whatever…
Jean: By the way, why do you made Shiva wearing that dress?
Haruhime: Because you would like it.
How the hell she know it?
Jean: …Why did you think that?
Haruhime: Because you dreamed about that… and you talked in your sleep…
What the fuck!? I am really happy, but that isn’t something that had to come up in my sleep…
Oh, right. How didn’t I remembered something like that…
Jean: Thank you, and goddamnit, …
