301 7.29 Heaven And Earth Splitting Divine Blade? (1/2)

After Jean Lethal had eaten and felt full for the first time in 3 months, I handed him my blanket and asked him to find a spot in the hearth that we had finally completed laying the grounds of 24x24 and had installed the wood panellings and left the part for the window and door frames.

It was a short distance away from our original encampment and only when it's raining would we run back to our makeshift tents to take cover. The roof was not installed yet and I decided to have a flat roof instead and eliminate the use of extra materials.

It's not that I'm lazy, but frankly, I have no idea to make a hearth and earlier when I wanted to make an 8x5 she said that it is a personal graveyard, not a hearth. Hahahahaha. I had forgotten that I was using the Imperial system to measure instead of Metrics.

Furthermore, I have no idea of making a house, so a flat roof as flat as the flooring would be just fine. To create a 24x24 stone roofing, I would need the same amount of stones required by the stone flooring. Since Matilda has a better storage bag, she could store as many craps as she can get and leave the fusing and crafting to me instead.

”Alright, that settled then. You two have your rest first, I need to get some more equipment and I'd be right back. The market and trading district would still be open 24 hours a day even though there are no adventurers around. Amazing...! It's so convenient being near to fabricated towns like this.”

I left those 2 to chat and while the time away as I engaged my Cruising Along and heads towards Ackworth that was just about 15 minutes away. If we were to trudged on normal speed it would definitely be 45 mins or so due to the 1:3 ratio.

I bought a haversack, an iron pick and axe, a blanket, tarpaulin with 2 screws on poles, a fishing kit and a plate, bowl, drinking mug and some utensils. The rest of the necessities for our food had been bought the other day to accommodate our 7 guests that comes by twice a day for their meals.

A 25 catty sack of rice and 10 catty of plain flour were bought along with 3 trays of chicken eggs that would compliment our breakfast and dinner alternately. I also bought 10 catty of red and green beans respectively, 10 lumps of palm sugar and 1 catty of glutinous rice flour.

After I had paid for all the merchandise, i engaged my Cruising Along and returned back at our hearth and noticed that they were still chatting up and talking about what happened to my sword that previously was turned into a curly nostril hair...!

”Hohohoho...is that so? Luckily both of you work as a team to get rid of the BOSS...and the spoils, shared with Robin?”

”Nahh...he refuses to take any of it. He said i could take everything. See these gems? He fused all the shards and made them into poor quality ones. The sapphires and diamonds he just set it aside. I guess when the time comes, he would be making the Fair ones soon.”

Matilda showed the shards and the gems and Jean Lethal said that his staff has one socket but it would be a pity to insert such a gem into it. ”I'd ask from you a gem when the time comes, okay?” he said as he held his quarterstaff on his lap.

”I heard you talking behind my back yaaa...? So, you wanted to have a better quarterstaff, JL? It's as easy as snapping your fingers. Pass it to me, here's your haversack and your things. I'm going to craft these iron axe and pick to be better ones and I'm going to craft a better quarterstaff for you. it's high time we have better weapons and not left out, am I'm right, Matilda?”

”Ya...Ya...Ya...You're right, Robin...coo...” Matilda started to sound like Maggie the fat pigeon witch from the RTW novel.

I took Jean Lethal's quarterstaff and the iron axe and pick and headed to the fireplace and meditated there to head to Realm of Mind. I picked 3 Refined Steel plate and heads to the fusion chamber and inserted the axe head and refined steel plate into an empty slot. I pulled the primary slider to FUSE and the secondary to TOOLS. I then closed the door and pull the lever.

I repeated the process for the fusion of the axe and pick and both came out as a success.

Next is a tricky part. I place the staff and the steel plate and I choose CRAFT and WEAPON since I would be crafting a new type of staff. There was an option to what I would be crafting and designing and i chose the most basic design. It will be tipped with steel at the ends called a ferrule and it would be like a knob at the end as well.

After choosing the designs, i closed the door and pulled the lever and prayed it'll come out as planned.

*Ding* Crafting Success! Short Staff Upgrade.

”Phew...! It's a success. I wonder how i would have to reimburse if i disintegrated his quarterstaff.” I opened the door and retrieve the enhanced weapon and it looked more splendid and more oomph...!

I meditated off and return to the real-world and I walked to Jean Lethal and called out to him while handed the axe and pick while hiding the upgraded quarterstaff behind the wall at an imaginary l near the door frame.

”Here's an axe and pick for you, JL. It had been crafted to be much better than the ones you can find in the smithy. Come and see if you can wield this with your current level.”
