287 7.15 Knock, Knock, Knocking On Heavens Door...Yeah. (2/2)

”Huu...huu...huu...Bladeworks. Now I have to forge another weapon for me to use. By the way, I have tried blacksmithing and forging, but I have not tried fusing yet. How does fusion works? Maybe I could ask the Blacksmith for more info and pass him 2 more Refined Steel to purchase and exchange for shillings.

”Robin...by the way, how did you know the sack of wrinkly balls would be the best target of all?”

”It was a wild guess. When I stick this sword up its hind leg, it raised his haunches and I can see it's balls well protected near its arse. Hahahaha. So when I deploy my attack on it, I can see it's arsehole puckering like this....” I showed how the arsehole looked like by pickering my lips when suddenly Matilda kissed me on my lips.

”Yesterday was unintentional, today was on full purpose. Hii...hii...hii...” she explained cheekily and skipped ahead of me while I was holding on to a bent, out of shape piece of metal that looked like it came from a car wreck...!!!

”Sigh...if I were to knock up this girl at our age, it doesn't look too bad and not one-sided at all unlike a 16-year-old girl climbing on top of an 11-year old boy. Hahaha...

.....

”Why are you both back so soon? I haven't even prepared lunch yet. The tarnishing hasn't been set, even the grains hadn't been pounded to unhusked them. Why are you grinning about, cutie pie? Did something happened?” The Elder stood up from the fireplace and wiped her hands as she ushered her granddaughter and whisked her around to ensure that not even a mosquito bite was on her at all.

”Granny...! Come and see the spoils I've got for today. Forget about lunch, it is my treat today...hii...hii...hii...Robin refuses to take any of these and he said it's all mine and he only takes them if I don't need any of these.” Matilda spreads the spoils on the blanket that I used to usually sleep on the other night and poured out the contents.

”Robin was going like pow...pow...pow...pow... as he shot flames out of his hand like this and bring the BOSS to submission...!”

She had accumulated a wealth of 2 shillings and 43 pennies, 4 foxtails, 3 furs, 2 wooden chests with a green and red stone in it, a scroll for a 30 minute buff on strength and another scroll for 15 minutes bleeding damage and some unknown herbal pills.

”Oh...did Robin really do that earlier?” She raised her eyebrows at me when Matilda exposes how I subdued the BOSS.

The Elder held the few pills in her hand and informed us that this will be used to recover external injuries when taken orally with a cooling time of 3 minutes each.

The green and red stones were common pieces of gems that could increase the strength of a weapon when it's successfully imbued into its socket. The red one is for armour while the green one is for weapons. Currently, Vendetta had 3 empty sockets and it can be socketed with the assistance of a blacksmith. It was not a complete piece but shards of a gem.

”Robin also kicked the sack of balls from the BOSS and it was howling in pain. hii...hii...hii. Come Granny...lets all of us go to the trading district and let's have a good meal there.” Matilda gestured her granny and pulled her arm to treat us for lunch.

”Keep your cash Matilda, it would be best to invest in some armour and insert the green gem into Vendetta. Furthermore, I have a business negotiation at the blacksmith and let me be the one to treat everyone ok?”

”Matilda, it's best you go get yourself an axe and a pickaxe. We would be going mining soon too.” I winked at her and she clapped her hands gleefully since I would be treating lunch and secondly I'd be bringing her along for mining too. I would prefer mining for gems and could be fused to make a better gem and so on.

I explained this to her and she agreed to follow me for mining later. I told her after my archery lessons and she nodded in anticipation with a gleam in her eyes.

”Now is the chance to know more about fusing gems and other weapons. Better get 2 Refined Steel plate as a conversational piece first.” I excused myself and went to the far end of the stream where I meditated and went to the Realm of Mind and withdrew 2 Refined Steel plate. I kissed the plate and slipped it under my clothes and heads back to the real world after I disengaged from my meditative state.

”Kaching...Kaching...Kaching...40 shillings...here I come.” I skipped as I came back and joined them. ”Are we ready? Come on...let's goooooooo...” and I beckoned while we took a buggy to reach the outskirts of town. Again, how do you expect a frail old lady to walk 2 hours on her bowed legs and keep up with Cruising Along...might as well we cruise along on a golf buggy. Hehehehe.
