Chapter 35: Cogwork Armour
As they ate breakfast, Wiz looked over at Dominic with a smile.
"You know, with you being awake all night, we didn’t have to keep watch at all, nothing came close enough to the farm with you banging away. Are you normally on a night schedule?" He asked.
Dominic shook his head. "Not really. I am normally in the shop during the day, I just got excited last night.
I’ll probably be in the forge all day again today after a short nap, working on armour from that recipe Bella traded me. With a bit of luck, I might have enough materials to improve my own gear and then make a second piece for sale."
Wiz smiled and looked down at himself. "It might take a bit of extra material to make gear in my size. Good thing that the drop items from the monsters fit themselves to the one who gets them. If they didn’t, I’d never get gear."
Terry laughed at his son’s antics, then sighed and looked out at the field.
"Before we get too far into planning, can I borrow Dominic for a bit? The harvester has some broken blades, and the scythe needs a fresh edge. It’s not often that we have a proper blacksmith around and all." He began.
"It’s no problem at all. Bring what you need fixed, I’ll have the forge hot all day anyhow, and I can work on it while I’m reheating the armour." Dominic agreed.
He was a guest here, but room and board weren’t really free when you were on a farm, every hand was needed to get things done, and if that meant fixing tools as he crafted gear, then that was his room rent.
