Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 41 - Forging The Storage Ring - Part 2

He looked at the fire in content, as he waited until it died down, leaving only a trace of it seen by naked eye. Once there, he went to the ores, grabbed many of it, and then went to the place of the white fire.

The toolkit of Madly included a mould, that was used to make rectangular objects. He looked at this mould, before he decided to stuff some materials into it, trying to make it more shaped like a circular, with a place empty in the middle.

After many trials, he finally managed to do so, after using some of her equipment for that. What remained was a heavy hammer, he knew how important it would be in the process of forging. Cleansing the ores was a very important step.

So, he went ahead and put all the ores inside the mould. It was hard at first, and he had to hit the ores many times to fragment them into tiny pieces, so they could fit into the holes in the mould.

After that, he put the mould in the pit, and then he needed air, wind to be precise.

The most ideal thing to produce wind here was Birdy, so he asked Lily to summon it again. when it appeared after half an hour of summoning, its shape was slightly different, as some of its feathers were not green in color.

"I want it to work its wings and form a great wind, tell it if it performs well, I would gift him one more piece of rock."

It seemed this ore had some benefits for the pets, so as when Madly's pet, Birdy, was doing its part, Arthur asked everyone to summon their pets, and make them eat this ore.

After two hours of continuous flapping, the ore inside the mould was completely melted down. Arthur knew this wasn't enough, so he put more ores inside, and after two hours he checked it, and found the mould completely covered in melted hot liquid.

"It's enough, good job birdy."

He then gave it a larger piece of ore, and Birdy ate it in an obvious joy, before it shrieked from happiness, and then it disappeared again to have some rest.

'It's time for that bear to show me its strength.'

Arthur knew cleansing was the only process that could determine the quality of the forged items, the only process he could control now. so, he summoned Don, asked him to cleanse the melted ore using the hammer. Don gladly accepted the task, and did it with admiring devotion, especially when Arthur promised it to give it one more ore.

Don had some fur dyed in green, not at the same scale like Birdy, which made Arthur wonder if this ore had some hidden bonuses for certain monsters, or affected by certain attributes.

Each time Don hit the melted ore, many sparks flew off, and some dirtied materials were casted away. Don kept hammering the mould for three hours, and in the middle of this, Arthur had to stop it more than once, as he needed to put the mould back into fire, to keep its temperature.

The fire was now optimum for burning the ore, and so Arthur didn't need the help of Birdy.

On the sides, everyone was watching this magic show with much interest, especially Madly, who thought she would see a third rated performance from Arthur, yet again he bested her and managed in surprising her one more time.

Even her grandpa, Regil, couldn't do the forging in the same way and technique and devotion Arthur was doing now. She stood on the side, watching, and learning, as she knew Arthur was a superb blacksmith, much better than her grandpa.

As for Ron, he stood on the side, watching the meat cooking process, while wondering when his young master learnt these techniques.

He thought if illness would turn a loser into a genius, then he would gladly accept such a disease, or a blessing in his opinion.

Arthur was completely focused on the forging process, so he didn't notice their observing gazes on him, and even if he noticed this, he would, mostly, ignore them.

After three hours, Don kept hammering with no change on the liquid. The ore turned from green, into brown color, then after cleansing it became golden white. When Don finished it, it had turned into silver white, with such purity that Arthur was surprised to gain.

'Now, it's the moment of truth,' Arthur murmured to himself, before he went ahead, stopped Don, gave him one big ore like Birdy, then he held the mould carefully before closing his eyes.

The process in his past world to inject energy was simple, as during any technique used, energy would leak from the human body, and this leaked energy was used in the forging process.

Madly watched what Arthur was doing in daze, then she was greatly amazed by what he was doing next. Holding the mould firmly, Arthur started to use his leg steps, without any pause. He thought of using his ability to control arrows, but this would be impossible for him now, as he couldn't shoot arrows and hold the mould at the same time.

So, his best option right now was to use the foot moves, in hope the leaked energy from it would be sufficient.
