Chapter 547: Fairy (31)
The moment Inuki was inspired by seeing Lucy Allen, he left the street of Soul Academy.
“Master! Didn’t we already rent the forge?” “Do you think you can make proper weapons in a place like that?”
Originally, Inuki had planned to rent a decent street forge to make armor. It turned out the facilities were much better than expected, so he thought that would be enough.
However, that was only when making weapons for promising knights. Since he had decided to craft a weapon that would carry his entire life’s worth of effort, everything had to be perfect.
“Are you seriously going to come back after all this time and demand that I hand over my forge?”
One of the few blacksmiths Inuki respected had been reluctant when Inuki, after many years, asked to rent the forge for a few days.
“Unlike you, who only makes weapons for people you like, I’m a business. How could I not work for a few days?”
Inuki handed over some of the material that Lucy had once called "demon earth."
He had given Lucy more than half of it, but for some reason, following his instincts, he kept the rest. He didn’t know exactly what he would use it for, but when he faced Lucy, he found clarity. The thoughts that filled his head could be called nothing short of a revelation.
“So, you’re saying you’ll mix this worthless-looking dirt with iron?” “It’s not just iron. I’m going to use mithril.” “...Are you senile?! Why would you mix this valuable material with dirt?!”
The blacksmith shouted in disbelief, but Inuki calmly ignored him.
The blacksmith, who had reluctantly accepted Inuki due to their past connection, watched with suspicion as Inuki worked with his apprentice.
