Hit the red-hot iron.
He just keeps hitting, thinking nothing but turning the iron in front of him into stronger steel. Turn it over and over again and hit it hard. I can forget a lot of things while I'm hitting the iron like this. Yes, many things.
Like the snakekin sisters who are staring at me around me! No, it would be helpful if he would wipe away my dripping sweat and bring me a drink.
Right now, what I'm making is a steel sword. That said, what I'm forging isn't ordinary steel, it's magic iron, or rather, a magic steel sword that has changed properties to a greater extent than the original iron by infiltrating my magical power through the hammer.
At the time of forging, a large amount of mana is kneaded into iron and steel, which changes its properties and turns into a material called magic iron or magic steel.
Magic iron and magic steel allow magic to pass through better than normal iron and steel, and the ability to hold magic power is greatly increased. If the given magical power has an attribute, the product itself will have the attribute magical power, and it may exhibit a special effect.
For example, magic iron and magic steel weapons imbued with wind-attribute magic are lighter than they look, and their sharpness increases, and the weapon itself is endowed with wind-attribute.
However, the distribution volume of such goods is not so large.
First of all, there are few blacksmiths who can pour in enough magical power to transform iron and steel into magic iron and steel. That's because with that much magical power, you can be successful as a magician to some extent. And there are almost no witches who blacksmith.
Secondly, if it takes that much time and effort, it's much less time-consuming to use magic metals such as mithril. Just by training it as it is, it can demonstrate performance comparable to or even higher than magic steel. As for granting magical power, it can be done more easily by training together with monster materials that have attribute magical power.
Thirdly, no matter how much time and effort is put into forging it, its performance is inevitably inferior to first-class Mithril and Orichalcum weapons.
So, to be honest, materials such as magic iron and magic steel are not popular. Although it takes time and effort, its performance is not good enough, and unlike magic metals, it rusts normally.
However, for me now, it's a very useful metal in that if I put in the effort, I can get almost the same performance as a Mithril weapon. I have a surplus of magic power.
Put the forged steel into the simple furnace made with earth magic and heat it with fire magic. When it gets red hot, hit it again and turn it over to train. Repeat that to make it into a stick shape, then hit it again to shape it into a sword shape. After checking the distortion and balance of the blade, it is quenched and tempered with water magic and fire magic, and then sharpened with a whetstone to complete the blade.
After that, the hilt is made from sacred wood, and the sheath and belt are made from the leather and metal fittings given to us by the serpent people. The length is about 1.5 times my arm including the handle. It's about the same length as the crystal core blade silver sword that was shattered by the gods. I adjusted the balance of the sword in almost the same way, so for the first time in a long time I was able to get a weapon that felt right in my hand.
There is no sense of incongruity even if I try swinging it several times. Strange? I thought the skill point system was lost and my sword skills were down. It's more fitting than I thought. Well, it may be that my arm is actually falling off just because I don't feel it myself.
Try various magic attacks through magic power through the blade. It seems that you can use both sharpness-prioritized flash and destructive power-prioritized bombing without problems. I borrowed metal engraving tools from the serpent race and engraved a spell to increase endurance, so it won't break so easily.
The blacksmith sisters showed interest in the finished magic steel sword, so I gave it to them. Then, they looked at the magic steel sword closely, tapped it lightly with a small hammer, listened to the sound, and made a light swing as if trying to balance it.
Perhaps they were satisfied with seeing it to some extent, the magic steel sword in its scabbard came back――that was good, but the master sister's snake body was entwined with it, and the other sisters came one after another. The snake body is entwined. Everyone's cheeks are puffy and his eyes are dangerous. This is Akan. That's when I thought.
Dan! A loud sound rang out, and the snake body that was entwined around me tightened. It hurts! ?
"You guys probably gave up your role like that yesterday, too.
When I looked at the direction from which the sound came, there was an emerald-scaled serpentman tribe with an expressionless expression and blue streaks floating on it. Judging by the dent in the ground beneath her face, it seems that the sound just now was the sound of her hitting the ground with all her might.
Yeah, if you get hit with that serpent's body, it doesn't look like you'll get away with just one or two bones. Scary actually.
The blacksmith sisters who were scolded by the emerald serpent race showed an expression that they were dissatisfied, but in the end they released me reluctantly. Good, you helped me. At that rate, my chastity was Mach.
"Tomorrow I'll come to make a slightly shorter knife, so please come back."
When I said that and waved my hand, the blacksmith sisters smiled. When the Emerald Snakeman tribe glared at me, it was akanbei. You have a long tongue.
After a short walk, the emerald-scaled serpent race who was walking (crawling?) A little further forward let out an exasperated sigh and turned around.
"Human, you're a little too careless. It's good because I happened to be passing by, but otherwise it would have been outrageous on the spot."
"Hmm, well, then that's it. If you really don't like it, I'll resist."
"So that's it, then?"
"It's a man's blessing to be so demanding, isn't it? They're all beautiful."
Hearing my words, the emerald scaled serpent race tilted its head expressionlessly.
"Isn't it an unbearable pain for you humans to associate with ugly monsters like us?"
"Huh? No, not at all."
What the hell is this guy talking about? We look at each other with that face. No, the other side is expressionless. That's what my eyes say
I don't really understand why people don't like it. Isn't it usually welcome unless you're a person who can't handle snakes? am i not normal? No, why is she such a beauty? It would be welcome to use common sense.
"As expected, you're a strange guy."
"Hidee... Come to think of it, where is this going?"
I asked while chasing after the Emerald Snake People who sighed and resumed their movement. It seems that they are heading towards the rocky mountain in the depths of the village.
"I told you that I would prepare your beds.
"Oh, bed. I'm curious what it's like."
It doesn't get any worse than a tent. I suddenly became interested in what kind of bed the serpent people prepared.
After walking for a few minutes while looking at the serpentine body of the Emerald Scaled Snakeman that twists and turns fascinatingly, I can see a gaping hole in the cliff of the rocky mountain. No matter how you look at it, it's not a natural cave, it's a big square hole. The hole that even large vehicles can easily enter and exit looks like a huge entrance to me.
"After all, it's a dwelling that uses ruins. Is this doorway still alive?"
"It can be opened and closed. I can't tell you how to do it in detail."
"That's right."
It must be something like a cornerstone to protect the residence. But if that happens, the power here will be alive. Unexpectedly, pseudo-gods may be sleeping here as well.
"This way, follow me."
It was dark inside the facility. They either have good night vision, or they have the ability to supplement their vision with something other than sight. Certainly, there must have been species of snakes equipped with a pit organ that senses temperature, but they may also have such an organ somewhere.
This ruins seems to be made of white pottery-like material like the shelter ruins and the ruins where I got the pseudo-deity the other day. The space immediately after entering was very wide, and large vehicles were lined up, or a large amount of supplies might have been stockpiled. This facility was probably a military facility or a supply depot or something.
The ceiling was also high, and on the left and right walls there was what seemed to be a passage extending into the back at equal intervals. And, apparently, this facility is a gigantic facility consisting of at least four floors. It seems there are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors above the ground floor I'm walking on now. There may even be a basement floor.
"I'm watching you very intently."
"I'm seeing it for the first time. I'm very curious."
He glances at me, but it doesn't seem like he's blaming me. But it has a lot of rooms. The structure of the building is simple, so you won't get lost.
I was guided to the right side of the innermost row, the third room from the front. It was good that it was a place that was easy to remember. If this was the third row from the back, or the fourth row, or somewhere in between, I might have made a mistake.
"This is your room."
"Oh, thank you. What about the key?"
"It's just an internal key. There's no one among us who would steal, but if you're worried, take something important with you."
"I understand. Well, it's okay."
In the first place, in my case, I put everything in a treasure box and walk around. I don't know how they interpreted my words, but the emerald scaled serpent race nodded with satisfaction and opened the door and went inside. I follow it too.
"It's quite spacious inside."
"It's a little too small for us."
There seems to be a lighting device like a fluorescent lamp in the room, and it was quite bright. The size of the room is about the size of a hotel twin room. A round bed-like bed is placed in the middle of the room. The size is about the size of a double bed. I immediately walked over to the bed and checked the hardness.
"Oh, it's pretty soft. What kind of mat are you using?"
"Mat? Oh, bedding? It's a cloth bag stuffed with animal hair. And then you put more cloth on top."
It seems that they are putting clean sheets on a mattress made of animal hair. would be valuable.
"Thank you for preparing such a fine bed.
When I turned around saying that, there was an emerald serpent race in front of me. She was expressionless as ever, but her eyes had a kind of strange 'color'. An alarm bell rings in the back of her head, and I immediately jump backwards.
"Hmm... I'm sorry."
The emerald scaled serpentman tribe who saw my behavior cleared their throat once and moved behind themselves to keep a distance from me.
"I was the one who was careless. It was a dangerous place."
"No, how can I say it... are you okay?"
"Should be fine"
She had already returned to her usual expressionless expression, and the strange atmosphere was no longer felt. Anyway, the snake race may be a race with a lot of instinctive parts. Maybe that's why they can't get along well with humans and have withdrawn into the Great Forest.
"I'm sorry, but please excuse me. You can walk around freely, but please do not enter other than your own room. The two rooms on the hall side are assigned to the elves' rooms."
"Oh, I see."
"I will guide the elves. Be careful if you go out."
Saying that, the emerald serpent race left the room.
"It was a pity. I should have just let myself go.』
No, that guy is kind of dangerous. If you don't attack me a little more rationally, my bones will break. Physically.
"That's right. They seem to have more aggressive instincts than Arkenia.』
Don't you come out naturally like that? How is your progress?
"Progress is bad"
Please go home. Ora! Work quickly!
"What the heck, just kidding. Progress is not bad. I have something I want to show you."
When the bad god said that, my chest suddenly started to heat up. My heart beats early, the heat spreads from my chest to my whole body, and my body gradually loses sensation.
"W-what is that...? What are you doing... ugh!?"
My field of vision was filled with intense light, and the abnormal heat in my body disappeared all at once. When the light subsided, there was a familiar figure on the round, fluffy bed.
"Yeeee☆ Your eternal lover, real-chan, hehebuu!?"
I slammed the head of the bad god who decided to pose with some bizarre movement quite seriously. A bad god who suddenly collapses on the bed. The short one-piece dress is turned up and the pure white panties are visible, but it's hard to find panties that don't make me so happy.
"Isn't it a bit cruel? Isn't this a place where you cry and lick your legs when I appear, a transcendent beautiful girl, or push you down with too much momentum?"
"Not"
Gaba, I raise my upper body and hit the head of the bad god who protested. It's a very comfortable head to hit.
"It hurts!?"
"When I saw your face, I couldn't help but hit you. I haven't regretted it."
I looked down at the useless god who was looking up with teary eyes. She yeah she is, she's a beautiful girl with no complaints.
Divine silver hair that looks like a rainbow depending on the viewing angle, a neat face, and a modest girlish body with immature ups and downs wearing a simple white dress. A perfect body that invites intense inferiority while being neat and clean.
"That's a lewd eye... it can't be helped, is it okay?"
The useless god narrowed his eyes disgustingly and gently lifted the hem of his dress to show off his dazzling thighs. I bring my face closer to such a useless god.
"Hunnu!"
"Ah!?"
I decided to headbutt him. A bad god rolls around on a round bed with his head in his arms.
"Why are you materializing? Are you stupid? Are you going to die?"
"You can do things like create yorishiro with the power of pseudo-gods. Having a body that you can move by yourself is more convenient."
"Hmm. You wouldn't say that you've used up your pseudo-divine powers, right?"
"Tehe ☆"
The useless god taps his own head and sticks out his tongue.
"No way! No way! Because I regained my power properly! Or rather, I was able to materialize because I regained some power as a pseudo-god!"
Seeing my murderous intent, the unlucky god waves his hand in a panic. Is it true? this guy.
"But the power I regained is insignificant.
The useless god flutters his hand and shrugs his shoulders.
"So, how much of my power will I get back?"
"For the time being, I restored the function of the storage! The contents are the same!"
Wow, what a smug face. Pinch that bulging nostril.
"Wow subtle"
"Subtle! What is subtle!?"
"No, I still have my clothes, my favorite food, seasonings, and a little weapon... Ah, do you have God silver or black steel stakes? I wonder what else happened."
It's been a long time since I've operated storage. Expand the contents list and check the contents.
"A decent amount of cash, gold and silver treasure, and spare weapons... Oh? That's good."
Take out the Soshingin Quarterstaff from Storage. Come to think of it, this guy was the only one left in the storage without being used in the battle against the gods. It was a weapon I made that was good, but I didn't use it at all because the shadow was thin, but now it's useful.
"With this, the durability and performance as a cane are higher than those of a sacred tree reinforced with Behemoth materials."
Shake it around lightly and store it in storage. Yes, it's a bit inconvenient to carry around. I wonder if someday we'll be able to reduce it to pen size using the same mechanism used for Shingin Zizaiken.
And when I checked the whole thing and looked on the bed, I saw the unmotivated god lying down. I can't see it from this angle, but my crotch is also open and pantyhose. She looks like a beautiful girl, but that's why.
"You should be a little more modest.
"Betsunii? I'm a useless and subtle thing-? If you don't evaluate me anyway, there's no need to worry about it-?"
"I'm sorry"
I was desperate. Did I bully you a little too much?
"Somehow, I can't go on without you, so get in a good mood."
"Is it because it's convenient that I'm in a good mood? I'm not confined, I'm not motivated."
It seems that I have completely bent my navel. Since it can't be helped, I sat down right next to the bad god's head and stroked her glittering silver hair.
"I'm sorry. You and I are comrades of the same life, one heart and one heart. I'm sorry for making such disrespectful remarks. I'll apologize, so you can fix your mood, right?"
"Hmm… Then if you kiss me, I'll forgive you.
"Eh..."
The useless god pesters me for a kiss and quietly closes my eyes. Well, I want you to forgive me for a moment. It's dangerous in many ways. 'Cause just by looking at her, she's really cute. I've treated him carelessly up until now because he's a bad god, but it's not good for him to materialize and attack me like this. It's not good
"Hurry up, no lottery..."
As I hesitated, the bad god's arm stretched out and wrapped around my neck, pulling my face closer. A soft touch touches your lips, and an indescribably sweet scent fills your nostrils.
"Oma, hmm!?"
"Hmm..."
When I tried to complain, my tongue slipped into my oral cavity. My tongue, which was trying to escape, was entwined with the tongue of a bad god, sucking my saliva and vulgar sounds resounding in the quiet room. The back of my brain was numb, and the excitement made my body hot.
"Hehehe...I'm the evil god who controls corruption, pleasure, and all kinds of wicked pleasures."
The useless god releases his lips and licks the edge of my lips. Alarm bells ring. No more.
"Isn't it fine? Even if you don't have to put up with it... accept it all--"
"Tycy? Are you here?"
The sliding door opens and Rifana enters the room. Silence fills the room, as if the air had frozen. My excitement suddenly plummeted. Good, I thought I was done. Was saved.
"Is it again? Is it again? Or rather, who is that woman!?"
Roar! roars Rifana. I wasn't saved.
