Chapter 44 ‘Borrowing runes. (2/2)

‘Yeah, no need to be hasty…’

Roland thought to himself He was still stuck in this city for soo to the weapon and armor shops and ‘examine’ the wares If he did it once or twice a week no one should be any wiser

He couldn’t do it again now so he decided toa bronze age sword

He would be using soht previously One of theether with special sand that would go into it The other thing he needed was a wooden replica of the sword he would beLuckily he had done this strenuous task previously

He had gotten himself a piece of wood that was more or less a thicker plank He first drew the shape of the sword on it Roland went for a leaf-shaped sword design that would be on the shorter side After drawing the shape on the wood he had cut it into the rough shape then filed it down to perfection

Now he just had to insert the sand into thewith the wooden sword replica So he did and luckily it left a nice sword imprint He now needed to carve out a channel for the bronze to go in that was at the handle part

This wasn’t the first ti this as he had soic wands This would take a lotthere would be a lot of grinding and polishi+ng left to do

The mold that was in a wooden holder and had soether He also hahtly shut The s hot and the bronze was already in it He wasn’t doing his ownwas nicelycrucible with the heatedof theout but luckily he didn’t see anything spilling outside The top of the woodenon fire after it was filled up but that wasn’t a proble process was now over and after the mold had cooled off it was time to open it The latches and nails were re piece of bronze covered in so it up froin This would probably take hirinding stone and sandpaper were used Luckily there was sandpaper in this world otherwise this would take even longer It was impossible to polish the blade without any bleood enough

On the next day, heand it was time to attach a wooden handle He used the base wooden sword replica to draw out a handle on two smaller blocks of wood He then used so it to the sould be done with rivets

He looked at the shi+ny sword, he had polished the surface and he could very vaguely see his reflection in it There were some scratches of the surface of the blade shaft froet a highest rating he would probably need to have a blade with no bleh, it was nice and sharp and was now ready for the runecrafting process He grabbed a better steel haet himself one that was at least made from dark steel in the future There were even special ones with enchanth they cost an arood crafting tools to the coy into the hammer handle It traveled upwards into the head and then went towards the face It started glowing in blue light and crackled slightly the moment he delivered a blow to his bronze sword

The sound of gentle hah the workshop and his work continued He needed to take a couple of breaks and even et back his mana Even with this, he wasn’t able to inscribe the lesser scorch rune in one day The whole runecrafting process took hi product

Roland looked at his new creation, this was a lot harder to make than one of the previous paddles This was also his first working weapon, thoughit bronze probably

He examined his reflection in the blade and then …

“Flah the wooden hilt, with the ethereal pathways skill in place this was finally a possibility The runes in the blade shone and he could vaguely see the runic pathways lighting up as the ic structure was activated A flahtly

He was finally able to h it wasn’t that usable it was a proof of concept He laughed out loud while forgetting hi the fire sword around as a kid would when playing with a toy His momentary outburst of happiness was interrupted the moment someone called out to hiular blacks there and looking at his runic sword She was out on adventures so he didn’t bother hiding his runecrafting He also was so focused on it that he didn’t notice the girl’s return

“How long were you standing there…”

“Oh, about an hour, you seemed busy so I didn’t want to bother you…”

She s at the taller youth that still had a fla sword in his hand

“But I locked the door…”

He looked to the door and it was still closed

“Oh, yeah It was locked so I cli for a scout!”

Helci grinned as if she did well She had clih the second floorthat he left open for some ventilation It was still day so he also didn’t leave any traps for thieves behind

“That’s not the i, how did you do that!”

Helci pointed at the glowing sword that Roland finally turned off Her eyes were sparkling as if she was a kid in a candy store Now he needed to explain himself to his own assistant and hope that she wouldn't spread this inforet a headache
