She had a lot more jobs than I had expected. Of course, being my slave, she could now equip two jobs, so I added Blacksmith to Magic Blacksmith. If I could add a third job, I would add Weapon Smith too. I had a feeling Weapon and Armor Smith were 2nd tier Blacksmith jobs. They might apply to fashioning weapons from other materials too.
For all we knew, Garnet might be good at woodworking as well. However, Magic Blacksmith was fairly low level, and Blacksmith had a fair amount of levels for someone her age. It showed how hard she worked in the forge. Then again, it might be some kind of trait of her species like the high-tier jobs Celeste and Terra automatically had access to.
With those two jobs equipped, along with my status increases, my access to mana replenishing, and White Mage spells, Garnet should be able to achieve what a Master Blacksmith could not. I wondered what his level looked like, but seeing it would probably just depress me. I had to trust that Garnet had something special like the Bandit Hero seemed to think. She was a Deep Dwarf, and she had high resistance to miasma and a unique physique that would allow her to work with this Silvthril.
Ultimately, my job would be to do everything she was too busy to do. I could cast Refresh as well as a spell called Focus. Both would be very helpful, especially as the work continued. That ultimately lead to me having to decide which jobs I would need for this. I decided White Mage, Slave Master, True Hero, and Hero. I figured there was no reason to keep the Mimic job equipped. I worried the Karma would flair up the second I lost my karma, but I guess I had the skills and the karma long enough that it no longer affected me, kind of like miasma.
The pair of us finished getting ready while we waited for the Bandit Hero to collect us. I prepared some Waters of Life for Garnet. She glanced at it briefly and then nodded before putting it away. I figured she’d be using a lot of mana. Well, at least, she should remain hydrated.
It was still another hour before someone knocked on the door. In reality, we had gotten very little rest. Garnet ran the method of creating the sword through her head over and over again, her mouth and hands moving as she worked through the motions over and over again silently. Meanwhile, I thought about what we’d do after the sword was finished, and the Bandit Hero realized he wouldn’t be able to use it and be the hero he wanted to be.
We’d need some method of escape, which was rather simple. As soon as we completed it, I’d cast Portal and the pair of us would flee with the sword. I tested to see if I could Portal out of here already, and while the Portal didn’t take us much farther outside the cave because of dungeon interference, it would get us outside the entrance. We’d be able to open a second Portal there and be gone before they even realized we were done with the weapon.
There was a knock on the door, and both of us turned as a nameless bandit opened it up. “It’s time.”
