Chapter 75 - Hope Anew (Page 69)

"I see, well since you and Crimson are here I assume it is all under control now?" Baron asked as he looked back to Crimson who responded "Yup~, well the damage still has to be repaired and the intrusion must be figured out. There were also some casualties, a whole squad was taken out but other than that it is all good."

Baron sighs as he heard the report, "Well at least there were not any more deaths… anyways follow me, I'll get your measurements and all." He said waving his hand at us as a gesture for us to follow walking towards the back as he goes around the hearth. Crimson gave us a slight wave before she went back into the hearth.

"Alright lads dangers over so get back to work! Don't slack off ya hear? I'll be taking the heroes to get their stuff, y'all can laze off as much as ya want after work!" Baron called out to the other smiths who had also donned armour, there were a few distinct mutters but none that that River could make out. The smiths shuffled off, presumably to remove their armour as the clinking of armour and thumps of boots signalled this. 

Baron made his way to the very back pushing open a set of wooden doors to reveal a medium sized room within. Along the walls was a whole row of armour on stands that have a range of design and sizes for different races. Paired with the armour was a whole arsenal of an assortment of different types of custom weapons. The twins were particularly intrigued by the sight as they branched off to take a closer look at a red coloured armour. 

By its feet there were two blades each with a different design and the armour looked to have sharp edges instead of curved like regular armour. Baron seemed to notice the twins as he turned his head to them "Look as much as you want but if anything breaks or somehow disappears you're paying for it." he told the two of them. Ruby stopped and quickly backtracked back to the group presumably not wanting to be held responsible for anything that happens. 

Emerald continued to eye a set of armour for a bit before she as well joined back. With that out of the way presumably Baron led the group past the rows of armour to another door at the end of the hallway. At the end he pushed the doors open to show another room although this looked more like a tailors workshop. There were pieces of cloth neatly organised in shelves and a number of measuring tapes on the desk. 

Everything here was extremely tidy despite the fact that there was no one around to take care of this place. "Shi are you there?" Baron called out into the room, "Who's Shi and what sort of name is that?" Emerald asked as she did not seem to care even if the words she said sounded insulting. "Well it's a short form as I can't pronounce her actual name in a way that does not piss her off." Baron explained "I must say though you have quite the way with how you phrase your words."

"I'm here give me a bit, I'll be with you shortly" a female voice spoke from somewhere above. River looked up to see that despite the room not being that large it had a high ceiling that reached up to dizzying heights. Between two shelves that reached up high was the figure of a spider, a very large spider. It remained stationary for a bit as what looked like hands reached out to the shelves to get something. Then the legs started to move downwards as it descended at a rather fast pace.
