Chapter 1349: Signed and finished
Making some mental notes concerning Pip's business, Seth separated from Karina and got back on the way to his workshop. On the way, he came by the tailor workshops and suddenly had the thought to check up on Nädel.
If Mina’s Set got ready soon, Seth thought it would be a good idea to give Mina and Fin their new gear simultaneously. A nice date ending in both of them getting something nice seemed like the way to go. He could even tease Fin a little by making a big thing about giving Mina her gear.
Thinking mischievous thoughts, the blacksmith turned toward the tailor workshops. It was early in the morning, but Seth knew that Nädel was a morning person. He was also tough as jerky, so it wouldn’t surprise the Tower master to find Nädel didn’t wake up early but simply worked through the night.
As expected, the door didn’t stay closed for long once he knocked on it. However, the face he looked into was the articulated porcelain visage of Rún, his enchantment golem. As mentioned, the workshop helper was temporarily loaned to Nädel to take care of the enchantments for Mina’s armor.
“Rún? Where is Nädel?” Seth asked, a little surprised. At this point, all that was supposed to be left to be done for the shadow panther set was the enchantment and potentially adding a soul later on. It should have been Nädel with little to do but watch Rún work. Instead, it as Rún with the free time to answer the door. The golem lifted his smooth finger to his lips.
“The old man has finally fallen asleep, master. Please speak a little quieter.” The genius enchanter implored him. “He has been nagging at my enchantments all night long and only fell asleep a couple of hours ago,” Rùn explained.
“I see, I just wanted to get a little update on how long you two will take to finish the set,” the blacksmith whispered compliant. The golem froze for a moment, with the ceramic lips shaking slightly, as if he were mumbling something.
“It will probably take another 2 days,” the golem informed him when he returned to the present. Had he just calculated that? Compared to Seth’s enchantments, Arcane enchantments could take quite a long time.
But this was to be expected, as they needed a complicated setup that had little potential to be quickened. In exchange, they had a much higher potential than enchantments using engraving or inlays, the most common kind of enchantment a blacksmith could do. There was a reason why arcane enchanting was a whole other craft.
“Thanks for the update. Then I will get back to the workshop and take care of my own project,” the blacksmith said, satisfied, and turned to leave.
