245 # 232 Dwarven Village Exploration and Elven Magic Sword Story.txt (2/2)
''Ah. A one-handed sword is the easiest to use, and both Setia and Hephaistos would be hard on a magic sword with a sword out of the blue, wouldn't they?
''It's true that it's tough to suddenly have a magic sword in a situation where you haven't even made a sword to your satisfaction.
It's my first time, too, so I still think a one-handed sword is a good place to start.
So my memorable first magic weapon was decided to be a one-handed sword. And I'm still holding on to that and many other things.
'Is the pine wand okay for you, Tact-san?
Hmm? Is there a reason for this?
'Actually, pine trees don't seem to work too well with elves and mermaids since they become fire wands.
Well, Setia has tree magic, and Lian doesn't remember fire magic. It's not a mistake for me to use it, then.
'All right. Kaede would be a good match for you, right?
'Yes! It's a perfect fit! I'll make Liane's zither, too. I think I can make a new bow as well.
I asked him to use a pine tree for the arrows. It would be too much of a burden for Setia alone, so I asked Yug to do the same.
''I want to make a cane out of this, but...no?''
They're all arrows.
You're the one who makes it!
'I cut down the trees, of course I did... when I have time, I'll cut them down and sell them, so you'll have to put the arrows first.
Yug asked me to be careful, but it's an hour of hard work... I hope I have extra time. Then, at Setia's request, I decided to accompany her to the field of treasure generation. First, Setia polished the rubies with lapidary work. Then finally, the treasure ball generation begins.
''Hmm... then I'll create it.
Please.
”Treasure trove generation! Mark!
When Setia held her wand over Ruby, the ruby glowed bright red and changed shape. And a beautiful crimson ball was created. Appraisal.
Red Treasure Jade: Rare Level 7 Material Item Quality C+
The jewel is created by processing rough rubies and generating jewels. It is also engraved, and its true value is demonstrated when used as a weapon material.
Rareness level 7! Ruby's rarity is 5, so it's up two...I feel like this is a bad idea. Setia checks the workmanship.
'Hmm... it wasn't great after all.
...not so good? Then Setia asks.
'Do you know why the elves clashed with the dwarves about the magic sword, Tact-san?
'What? Isn't that because they copied our technology?
'Huzzah. We elves aren't proud of our blacksmithing. It's not that we're mad at you for imitating us.
What? That being said, it seems strange for elves to do blacksmithing itself. Then why would an elf make a magic sword? Isn't it because we have a powerful enemy?
''Isn't a strong enemy enough to summon a spirit? This jewel was created by an elf as a gift when he fell in love with a human blacksmith. And the magic sword was created from that gift.
Hmm? So does that mean it was a human who made the magic sword?
''Yes. The person who created the magic sword quickly became famous as a blacksmith.
Well, when you make a weapon that awesome, you're going to be famous. Well, good, and happy birthday.
But it will be the end of their relationship and they will die for it.
You're talking heavy!
A blacksmith gets a lot of orders for magic swords from the state, but the elves can't let him get away with it, so they break up with him. When he couldn't make magic swords anymore, his magic swords would be confiscated, and he would be put to death for failing to fulfill the state's request.
Ahhh, I'm starting to read the story somehow.
'The reason why the elves were angry is because to them, the jewels were made with their precious love for the elves?
'You are the Tact-sama, aren't you? You're right. It's never acceptable to say something that is mass produced. More to the point, he couldn't tolerate the act of passing it on to others either.
Well, of course... but the blacksmith must have been struggling to make a living as a blacksmith.
That elf is going to die too, isn't he?
'Yes. When she learns that he died because of her gift, she takes the magic sword he created from the country and uses it. That country that killed him was destroyed by the blow of the magic sword, and she died then too.
I see... so the rumors of the magic sword created by the elves spread, and then the dwarves heard about the magic sword, but didn't tell them about the key treasure, so they criticized the elves' treasure, and even went to war.
''Didn't you ever teach the dwarves about the treasure jewel?''
'You can't say. Why should you have to explain your love interest to a stranger?
You're right, but that's how we went to war. So Setia returns to the topic of treasure ball generation.
'Treasure ball generation is inevitably the strongest thing you can put your strongest thoughts into. I didn't put that thought in this time because it was a test. I still think it will be a powerful weapon, so I thought Tact-sama needed to hear about it.
It's true that strong weapons don't always make you happy to have them. It's because everyone wants a strong weapon. I guess I'm responsible for creating them and trying to use them.
'Thank you for talking to me... and I'll keep that in mind.
Yes. Now, Mr. Hephaistos, I'll go to work on it with Mr. Hephaistos.
Setia said that and headed to Hephaistos' place. I thought that Hephaistos, who made the magic sword there, wouldn't be in a bad way, but the fact that he bothered to talk to me about this means that Setia doesn't want to use it on others.
I logged out, thinking of all the different ways to deal with the player.
