After passing the checkpoint of soldiers on city gate, manav and goddess entered the city.
Manav was surprised after seeing the fantasy world people and their attires.
Goddess just ignored these things and walked straight in the middle of the street, and Manav followed her behind holding Mime step by step.
Many people was attracted by trio but most of them focused on goddess because of her beauty which was hard to be found in their daily world.
Many men are drooling quietly looking at beauty of goddess but they didn't dare to approach her by looking at the clothes she was wearing which was tailored so fine and the high quality cloth used in her dress, even a inch of cloth is expensive enough to let them work for more than two lifetimes.
Suddenly a middle aged man with attire like an Blacksmith or mechanic stepped toward goddess.
Seeing this goddess stopped and looked at the middle aged man.
"How dare you step me? Step aside until I am in good mood, I will let you live." Goddess said to the man with arrogance of a very high being.
Man changed his serious expression to that of a shopkeeper and raised his hands and started rubbing them with each other, and opened his mouth to say,
"Hahaha Miss I saw your puppet is damaged highly, if you let me, I can repair him or if you want to than I can upgrade him enough to fight atleast level 20 beasts, by seeing his situation he is so damaged badly, just the fee will be very high."
Man said to goddess with his businessman style and when he mentioned high fees his eyes sparkles with greed and wanting.
All the people in surroundings who have stopped and turned their heads or bodies to watch the show was disappointed and turned back to their usual daily life work.
Hearing this Goddess turned her head slightly and looked at Manav's body which was damaged badly.
"If by upgrading him, I can make his goodwill return to me raise it higher than before, I can be one step closer to taming a puppet beast." Goddess thought to herself and turned her head back to the man and nodded.
Man was filled with joy immediately and quickly stepped aside and pointed his hands to his shop, and said,
"Follow me miss, I bet with my skills, that I will let you be satisfied with my skills to repair and upgrade this puppet to fight 20th level beast easily." Middle aged man said and started walking toward his shop, while keeping his respective distance with goddess.
Goddess followed him, signalling manav to follow her.
Manav saw her signalling him to follow, he has already found the shop filled with many parts of puppets and other machineries, his puppet engineering ability has already started to prompt him that it have found many parts to repair his body to peak, or upgrade it to higher strength.
In few steps they reached the store and entered it.
"Miss do you want to buy something else, there are many things here, I am renowned as the engineering hand, as for why I gained this name because I can make variety of magic instruments, you see those products in glass shelfs, all of them are created by me." The old man said boasting about himself.
Goddess and Manav turned their head to watch the magic instruments in shelfs.
"Than why are you trying to pick customers on streets, if you're so famous." Goddess asked with confusion.
"Oh that my business is on low, for a few days, because of those companies, they have started to gather talents from various fields and make them into one team to create magic instruments which are more delicate and intricate and powerful than us, and they also provide one time free repair to the products after buying them." Middle aged man aighed and started to count many reasons to why he has to put his pride elsewhere and pick customers on street which is very insulting to engineer Blacksmith.
"Ah what was those past days, when customers are making line in front of my shop to buy, repair and upgrade their magic instruments, now my all staff has also left, because they can't meet their ends here with no salary." Middle aged man recounted his old days with sad expression on his face.
Goddess didn't sympathised with middle aged man, because he didn't have anything to do with her, and strength is the winner and ruler.
"Oh what have I done, let my customers stand and tell my useless old stories, miss sit here, I will quickly repair your puppet and upgrade it to have combat power of level 20 beasts, you can read those books." Middle aged man said to the goddess while showing the place to sit and pointed towards the books scattered on the table.
Middle aged man signaled manav to follow him, manav didn't followed immediately but glanced at goddess.
Goddess nodded towards Manav.
Manav lay mime on soft couch and followed the old man to his workshop.
As for why he didn't repaired manav in front of goddess, because engineer Blacksmiths have a rule from ancient time that no one can see their process of making, repairing, upgrading the magic instruments to other people who are not their family members or disciples.
Manav entered the workshop and saw many exquisite tools, half completed magic instruments, and many blueprints packed, and writings on a blackboard.
These tools are very advanced compared to the one he have found in that castle, where he found goddess.
The middle aged man turned and signaled manav to lay on the table.
Manav laid on the table, middle aged man started examining the puppet body.
After a few minutes.
"What a mess, looks like this puppet just has a intense battle before coming here, I have to remove the upper cover and armour to see the internal machinery and it's condition." Middle aged man picked up the tools while muttering and started to peel of the armour of the puppet forcefully.
After a dozen minutes there was nothing but exoskeleton and core of puppet with rune circuit shining slowly.
"What a surprise, seeing a almost century old puppet, but those magic technologies was very crude and useless not compared to today's magic technology of making puppet." Middle aged man said surprised seeing the old and crude circuit in puppet.
He turned and walked out of the workshop and walked in front of the goddess.
"Miss your puppet is of old technology from century ago, if you give me permission I have to change all the parts even the exoskeleton and rune circuitry, do you have something that you want to retain on it." Middle aged man said to goddess.
"Um just retain the mana core and change all parts." Goddess thought for a while and replied to the middle aged man.
"Than can you tell me what new makeover you want, look at this menu, you can choose the body structure, circuitry level, exoskeleton type and it's material, armour, eyes and ears for listening the commands of their master, ears are newly made products just founded by the dean of academy 2 years ago, and a command chip acts like brain of a puppet, muscles types, materials, and level." Middle aged man said while pointing about the information of every part the puppet is made of.
After saying this he put the menu in front of the goddess and walked back to his chair on counter of the shop.
Goddess picked up the menu and started reading it carefully, after reading it for few dozen minutes she called the middle aged man and instructed him to what to install or not.
"Make it closer to human structure, and height should be 2 meters, top level exoskeleton with dark iron the strongest material, use the top level circuitry and make some protective measures so in fight the circuit won't be damaged, install the latest listening machine and these top level focus eyes made from the crystals of underground fairies, as for armour, just attach it to the puppet skin, and put some mana refills that can be removed and added in the back use the muscles of strength and agility, make the body type to focus on flexibility and agility." Goddess said to the middle aged man who wa standing in front of her.
Middle aged man calculated in his mind, and said to the goddess,
"Ok Miss, it will take about 10 hours to complete the task, so you should eat and rest there is an restaurant in front of my shop and if you want a place to rest and have a freshover you can go up, and find my wife, there are rooms to rent you can rent one, and seeing the condition of your monkey I think it should have overdrawn mana, so you should use a mana potion on him, and he will recover in two hours at most." Middle aged man said pointing to the restaurent and stairs, he also advised to goddess to buy options for mime.
"As for potion if you need I can give you one, you have to give me 5 gold coins, because of increasing population, prices are on high rise and materials are very little, few days ago a mana crystal and black iron mine collapsed, there are rumours that a puppet beast was seen doing something with black powder which blew the pillars to hold the mine roof." Middle aged man said and put the mana potion in front of goddess using his space pouch on the chest.
After doing this man turned and walked back to workshop.
Middle aged man was confused after seeing Mime the monkey but he didn't ask the information about it, because species are increasing in numbers with every red sun eclipses, and lands are also increasing, resources are also increasing but danger in increasing hundredfold.
This is rude to ask someone for their beast information, which is very important in combat, because of enemy knew about their opponents beast's information, than there is certain chances of winning, so it is not advised to do this.
Like engineer Blacksmiths don't ask or tell others about information.
