333. Departure

During the days he spent waiting for the magic package, Lan followed the visiting merchants around the large blacksmith shop that had been housed outside of the Erethusa Academy.

Of course, he wore a hooded cape every time. There are a lot of people dressed like him.

They may be spies of some of the king's nobles who want to upgrade their arms but don't want to show it.

Or a businessman who wants to avoid competitors and take the lead in grabbing the right to sell new goods.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and in places where business is developed, it is even more important to hide people's eyes and ears.

For example, in Novigre, which is known as the 'capital of the world', a large number of people in hooded cloaks come and go, passing information to people from north to south.

In that city, it was heard that even beggars were fed by intelligence work.

At the heart of the design process was the mantra of the iron ore, where the roughly refined ore was sent to the area, where it was further forged by the recruited blacksmiths and turned into billets for easy transportation and settlement.

To his astonishment, Lan discovered that Master Tur Butcher, the master blacksmith of Goth Wellen, was also in the workshop along the city walls.

When Lane saw him in a crowd of merchants, he was carefully carrying a glass bottle with his short, strong arm, and dripping potion onto a red-hot Valyrian steel ingot.

It was the potion that would allow the recasting of Valyrian steel to be made barrier-free, and the recipe was developed by the renowned alchemist Tishaya de Verris.

After dropping into the potion, the whole steel ingot, which was originally reluctant to deform under the high temperature, suddenly softened.

Impressed by the skill of the master blacksmith and the strength of his arm, he elongated and deformed from a boxy steel ingot.

In just half an hour's effort, the scorching dark red steel ingot had already turned into a long sword embryo.

Shaping outside the furnace for a long time allows the temperature of the sword embryo to continue to drop. Tur Butcher's experience had taught him that the work would be easier if the blade was returned to the furnace to heat up.

The Dwarven Master ignored the onlookers, he knew that these merchants were waiting for the finished product to be baked, and then try to slash, strength test, and enchantment test.

He also looked forward to it, but as a technician, he knew that he couldn't rush because he knew how to do it.

These businessmen are here to see once again the properties of Valyrian steel, to make it more credible and commercially promising.

And he is because of a technician's pursuit of new technology.

"That sword embryo is in the shape of a Mahakan rune sword, that's right! I've sold three of them, and they're sharp, light, and strong, and they're magical enough to be unenchanted. In this world, only the Ghuvyhill sword made by the gnomes can compare to it! ”

A merchant swore that he sounded like a weapons dealer and had a good relationship with the Dwarven homeland of the Mahakan mines.

Another businessman standing beside Lan En made a further guess.

"To make the Mahakan Rune Sword, he wants to experiment with dwarven techniques on Valyrian steel? If it succeeds, then the ceiling of this steel will be further raised! Cost vs. Selling Price."

This was the beginning of a new round of heated discussions among the businessmen.

Lane was not interested, and his cat's eyes under his hood were looking with interest at Master Tur Butcher, who had brought his apprentices and helpers with the shop this time to practice with the new steel.

Fergus and Yuna are diligently running before and after the blacksmith master, wiping sweat and handing water.

Even when Yuna was on the way to deliver water, her eyes were always on the Valyrian ingots, and Fergus was dedicated to serving her boss.

I really don't know how this dwarf, who specializes in 'lobbying and making friends', persuaded the stubborn dwarven master to bring a human female helper to test the new technology.

After getting a general idea of the property in which he owned, Rann returned to Erethusa.

He was a little impatient to get his hands on the magic wrap.

This kind of tool, which can greatly increase the weight of the load, in the hands of an alchemist who is not bad for money, will make his tactical choices very easy.

Sileton came to visit again in the past two days, although he didn't know why Lan En disappeared out of thin air for a while as the major shareholder of such a large industry, but anyway, he knew that Lan En was about to leave.

So the enthusiastic dwarf hurriedly opened an exclusive account for Lan En, so that he could access the funds.

And as the president, he also personally came over to deliver the bills and vouchers to his hands, which made people unable to say anything bad.

Although he took three small talismans with him as he left.

One is used to prevent corns, and the other two are still slightly improving the body's immunity.

With the new weapon and Margarita's nostalgia, two days passed quickly.

The feel and weight of the Turbidity Greatsword are great, fully satisfying Lan En's requirements for 'attacking', 'crushing', and 'dealing with giant creatures'.

However, it is very different from the [Reed Celebrity] that Lan En mainly uses now.

At present, only the [One Slash] and the advanced [One Slash Erlian] can be used on this sword.

Lan En is not worried about the reckless use of this sword, the expansiveness of the [Reed Celebrity] itself, and his own talent. This gave him the confidence to develop the technology suitable for this sword after actual combat and summarization.

It's just that today's accumulation is still too small.

When Lan En stabbed the Turbidity Sword into the alchemy leather bag that had been turned into a magic package, and then pulled out the 1.9-meter-high sword from the leather bag that was less than 20 centimeters high, he was still wondering if this could become a sword drawing technique.

"Considering your use environment, I won't ask your opinion on the appearance, just talking about practicality, it's easy to use?"

Tishaya leaned back in her chair and put her hands together in a symmetrical arch structure and said to Lann.

The young man is playing with the new alchemy leather bag repeatedly, while Mentos is collecting usage data and trying to make it easy for the subject to use in a short time.

"The specific space is 2.26 cubic meters, which is much larger than said."

Through a brief contact, Mentos had already detected the size of the space in the alchemy leather bag.

"Two cubic meters is just an approximate level, and the exact size will fluctuate depending on the level of the Spatial Expansion Spell cast at that time. You're lucky, there was a bad luck guy before, the spell-casting mage had a temporary toothache, and his magic package ended up being only 1.79 cubic meters. ”

"Has the academy compensated?"

Lan En asked curiously.

But before Tishaya could respond, Margarita, who was lazily lying on the bench, spontaneously complained.

"What do you think? This is a magic package produced by Eretusa, it would be nice to have it, and it needs to be compensated? The mage has to pay for the medical expenses for the tooth extraction, which is considered a work injury! ”

The witcher nodded in understanding.

It was the mage who was not in good shape who messed up the magic package, but the purchaser had to pay for the mage's treatment.

Monopoly high-tech products, you don't want to dislike unfairness, you have to be cut leeks if you want to.

Thanks to education in the information age, Lan En is well aware of the truth here.

And on the night of receiving the alchemy leather bag that had been turned into a magic package, the young witcher walked out of the doors of the magic academy.
