296 7.24 Learning The Techniques Of Fusing, Baby Steps At A Time. (2/2)
I've decided to make a stone flooring of a house measuring 8x5 which required 40 stone flooring slabs. I tenaciously fused a total of 280 stones to make 56 stone flooring slabs and kept the spare for other projects.
Moving on to the iron nuggets, it was the same dreary process as I turned the primary slider to FUSE while the secondary slider greyed out. Great...I wondered what this would be fused into as I placed 5 iron nuggets into the slots, closed the sliding door and pulled the side lever.
*Ding* Fusion Success! 97% Pure Iron Ingot.
”Pure Iron...? Seems we are moving back in time now. Helloooo...we have Refined Steel now, so what is Pure Iron? At least this is Matilda's and it's a way for her to accumulate her wealth one way or the other. At least it's a start for her and a chance to upgrade her equipment.” I said to myself aloud as I continue to fuse 85 of the iron nuggets to make 17 pieces of Pure Iron ingot.
I retrieved all the pure iron ingots and changed the primary slider to MATERIALS and secondary slider to PLANKS and I slowly placed a log into the slot and closed the door and pulled the lever and it came out as 4 planks per log. I had combined my logs and hers and had broken down 12 more logs to create 48 planks.
Once I had completed the task, I placed all the fused items into her storage bag and logged off my meditative state and returned to the real world.
”That was fast...! I thought you had forgotten about me and fallen asleep while sitting there holding my storage bag. Hii...hii...hii...” she chuckled as she stoked the fireplace with thick branches. The timing still stands at 3:1 between the Realm of mind and the real world.
”Here's your storage bag. Take a look at it and it's all yours. I had stashed the flints and coals aside and that would be made into something else later on in the future.” I said as i handed the storage bag to her as she peered inside and took out a pure iron ingot and a stone flooring slab.
”What am I going to do with these two items?” she asked while she tossed the pure iron ingot in her hand. I suggested to her that she could trade it with other NPC or adventurers she would meet along the way and these stone flooring slabs would be used for the floorings our new hearth. The planks would be used as wall panelling for the hearth.
”Do you intend to make a permanent place here, Robin? I mean, we would be far away from Granny and we won't know how she would be if I don't occasionally make tabs on her.” she implored to me as I reached for the maps.
”Come and see this. We are here in Featherstone and right now Yorkshire would be right over this spot here in the other maps. We could build hearths along the way within a distance of 10-15 kilometres each until we reach the outskirts of your granny's. Would that be alright with you? Every location of mines would be hearth for us to stay. Near a river with a complete set of cookware and utensils.”
”There's another mining spot at Brotherton and it's near a stream too. We would be moving there... Let's say in about 14-30 days from now? I am sure the mines would have been depleted by then and our skills at mining would have tremendously improved as well. I would be learning archery in my spare time so at least I have a primary and secondary class with other subclasses as well.”
”Can I learn a secondary and subclass too, Robin? At least I could be useful rather than being only a swordsman and have common skills like mining, chopping trees and cooking, washing and gathering firewood.”
”Hahahahhaha..... Washing and gathering firewood doesn't include inside the skills list, Silly...! It's not every little bit we do would be included in... Such as snacking and sleeping... Hahahaha.”
Matilda threw a friendly punch at me and I caught it and feigned being punch and when I recovered, I missed the top of the hand and she withdrew it and used a hand sanitizer to wipe the part where I had kissed it.
”Eeeeeeeeee..... Germs... Germs...” she said as she washed her whole hands with SebaMed.
