After I dragged Johanna inside, I presented her the smithy below and showed her the people down there too. She was a bit shocked there was this entire underground and secret temple for smithing, even more that it belonged to an ancient, now assumed dead god.
"Aw man, do I really need to smite stuff now?" She cried.
"Come on, it'll be fun!" I winked at her. "If you help a bit, you will get a blessing and gain new skills too. Being able to craft your own items and equipment will be extremely useful to you in the long run, trust me."
"I-I guess… Well, it better pay off!" She groaned. "So in what do I help?"
"Hammer and Ambil here will tell you in what you can add your assistance without any previous experience." I said, leaving it to the two of them.
I quickly moved back to where I often smite my stuff, there was a big pile of materials and halfway done weapons ready for me to finish off. And while I prepared that while warming up to make the Mythic Items and the Legendary Item, I divided my body, this time not two but in three.
After leveling up a lot and most likely thanks to growing stronger back on Earth, my mind… and soul felt stronger, I could handle much more information at the same time. So I channeled it all into three Avatars at the same time.
I left the System do the rest, after I was able to leave commands within the areas of my mind that inhabited the other Avatars, and they quickly began working, still counting as myself.
As I worked, I talked with Mark and my friends about what happened to a little extent, without going on too many details. I think I might get some penalty if I reveal too much to the inhabitants of Arcadia about Earth after all.
And while talking, the subject over Lord Magica's words, David's family, and the Previous Knight Commander Sir Harbertstern came afloat. The man that had turned half-demon due to the spite he had against the nobility of this city revealed to us on his last moments that this man, Harbertstern, was the "true traitor" amongst the nobles.
That it was him who had introduced him to the Cult, and that it was him who had a deep-rooted relationship with the cult, somehow.
"He said Harbertstern was right below the Cult Leader himself in terms of authority." Nieve said. "If that were to be true, then it would make for a formidable foe… That we'll need to eventually take down."
"This sounds complicated…" Acorn sighed. "But I guess there's no helping it. But… David's stepfather?! Now that's a twist! I hope he's really not what Lord Magica said though, maybe the noble was trying to blame him for not reason and…"
"But why would he do that anyways? There would be little point to it." Brisingra said. "If he truly had no relationships with the cult, why name him? To blame him for something he didn't do? Lord Magica doesn't seem to have had any relationships previous to this with that man either. It would be simply nonsensical, and he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything either if he happens to not be, so at most it would have been like… to annoy us? The man seemed more serious to just do that."
"Y-You're not wrong in that logic…" I nodded. "I hope David is alright, he was the most affected. I know he doesn't live with his family anymore, but I wonder if he'll be able to be okay if he crosses eyes with that man again."
"There'll be definitely some tension…" Said Nieve.
"It's a hard subject to talk about." Said Mark. "But I don't think it's in our power to solve that either. I remember that the King and the Queen said they would first find out if what Lord Magica said was the truth, right?"
"Yeah, that's what they said I believe." I nodded. "Well, let's concentrate on what's in front of us for now… First of all, we need to make three more Mythic Rank Items and one Legendary. I guess I'll try to make the Legendary One right away with everything I have. I'll use the remaining ingots from the items I sacrificed into the Smelting Synthesis Process as the base for this crazy piece of equipment… But I won't make it a weapon nor a piece of armor. I'll make it an accessory, which has higher chances of having high quality if I mix it with my Alchemy Skills."
"Ooh, good idea. But what sort of accessory will you make then?" Mark wondered.
"I discovered a new Cultivation Setting in the System interface after I drank the Ki Potions." I explained. "But I lack quite a lot of Ki. My existence as a giant tree makes it so I possess mostly a lot of Mana and Spirit Energy, but my Ki is slow and rather weak. Despite being considered such a huge lifeform, it seems like plant life forms are much slower on the production of this energy."
"Oh, I see… Wait, there's a Cultivation Function? Maybe I should also drink those potions now…" Mark wondered. "And you said there's a slower production of that energy, I guess it might affect me as well. Maybe it has to do with metabolism?"
"Metabolism?" I asked.
"Yes, to sum it up, it is the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. Plants are much slower in this chemical process, but active beings such as animals, have much faster metabolisms. The speed in which their life moves, the burning flame of their existence. I suppose this might be a big factor on how the Ki within themselves is produced, born from the energy of the body." He explained.
"That's right! I guess I didn't consider that… Ah, but it still doesn't change much." I sighed. "Well, anyways, I'm planning on designing a super amazing accessory that'll help me gain Ki faster, and that could give me a nice bonus to the Stat, and… Perhaps to also somehow transform Mana and Spiritual Energy into Ki? If that's even possible within an item."
