297 7.25 A Novice Gem Crafter (1/2)

”What am I supposed to do with these stone flooring slabs currently? How numerous stones did you expend to create this? And how do you develop this without even budging from the spot where you were sitting? Come one... Let me in on these... I swear I won't tell anyone...”

Once again, I managed to avert her questions and redirected it to some explanations. This is not the time to explain spiritual matters.

”I would require you to mark a place so we could establish a hearth for ourselves. Grab the twine and bang a piece of wood into the earth and then mark a straight line where you need to align it.”

”It could be the posterior or the front of the house, and if it's the front, just leave a clearance of 4 feet of its front for a pathway, a porch or a terrace. It's it is for the rear, don't have to leave a clearance much, as long as it is not too near the banks of the stream.”

”Ok, its a reasonable task for me. How about yourself?” she asked as she searches two pieces of wood to peg into the ground and twine to align the perimeter of the floorings.

”I'm going to fuse the shards together and make lots of Poor quality gems. There are 49 gems in each pouch and it would be enough to make 9 poor quality gems at this moment and you can safeguard them. No worries for me.”

”Ok...sounds fair to me. Help me to set up a shelter after this, ok? I will ready the items once I've marked out the hearth. Won't it be too small for an 8x5 floor space? I was thinking of a 24x24 kind of floor space.”

”Then 24x24 floor space it is. We require more stones in that case and we could focus on the iron mines tomorrow morning after the dwarfs had their breakfast.”

I received the 4 pouches from Matilda and straight went into meditation and appeared before the fusion chamber. I slid the primary slider to FUSE and placed the Ruby shards into the 5 slots, closed the door and pulled the side lever.

*Ding* Fusion Success! 1 piece of poor quality Ruby gem attained.

I kept at it until I got 9 pieces of poor ruby gems and I moved on to emerald next. When it comes to sapphires, the success rate seemed to be lower than those two.

*Ding* Fusion Fail. Sapphire shards diffused.

I opened the sliding door and found that the sapphire shards were not in their slots anymore and had disintegrated. ”Opppsss...! I think my skill is not up to that level yet. Better hang on to these before it totalled failed me. This is sapphires, I haven't even try diamonds that would be the hardest gem to fuse...! I think I better stop now.”

I said aloud to myself as I logged off my meditative state and returned to the real world. When Matilda saw my forlorn look on my face, she was anxious and asked me what happened.

”I've obliterated 5 pieces of sapphire on my first experiment. I had successfully fused poor quality rubies and emeralds but when I tried on sapphire, it turned to dust...! Here, safeguard these.”
