His physical stats besides agility had increased by quite a bit This class was one of the better ones if it caive hience, dexterity, and willpower

The runic blacksth reliant so he saw a big increase in those two skills as well as in his health It was also a runic variant so it increased his willpower and intelligence by a large h it was heavier on the willpower, probably due to the rune s skill that required a lot of concentration

With his increased stats he could actually produce this type of combination rune in less than a week Previously he had a hard time with easier runes on bronze ress this past year

He was now an actual blacks out Luckily he had the schematic trick so his level could keep up with his skills

Still, he was slowly reaching an i was now at an all-ti low on schematics Without the to ive the adventuring gig a try again…'

He thought to hiht back a memory of a certain person that wasn't here anymore

"Are you done? Can I h pitched voice called out to Roland It came from outside the workshop that was closed He didn't want people walking in on hiive me a moment"

The ed the person responsible for transport He did this thanks to a ser

It looked like a little bell but when rung another exact copy of this bell would ring Thus a person on the other end would then know that it was ti away the sword that he juston the pre hi were for hirabbed a prepared parcel fro in his entrance door The person on the other side was an alchemy apprentice The sao

He just grabbed the package with a different sword that Roland had made and walked away Roland and this youth didn't really talk thatyouth was still mad that he needed to be an errand boy The person that used to do this had quit a couple of o

Roland closed the latch and walked back to his room It was cluttered with his notes and rune schematics Since his old assistant decided to finally leave for a city with a dungeon in it

Yes, Helci had left Edelgard about twoinaway but so like that wouldn't be mentioned to anyone else

It was quite the experience but waking up to a farewell note ruined the ending Not like he bla Both of theoals

He wanted to stay in one place and practice his crafting In the near future, he wanted to open his own shop and live a quiet life Helci on the other hand wanted to adventure

She only stayed in the city due to a lack of funds and equipan her journey towards a place that had a Dungeon near it This was the best option for an aspiring adventurer There wasn't , huh?"

He said while grabbing one of the s After each successful craft, he liked to drink soray tea from his old world and went doith soed up iron swords that were tossed in the cornerWhile the girl was still here he did act as a sparring partner His battle skills did go up a bit fro else than astronger would help hi deeper into the h He always kept to the edges of it, the hobgoblin hesurprise

There were tier 2 and probably some tier 3 monsters in there Luckily they didn't venture out of the forest The creatures ary of the hue stone walls They also had no leader to gather theainst a common enemy

Unless the beasts caused trouble outside the forest areas the city lord or the guild wouldn't get involved Soe scale eradication missions took place to thin the population It wasn’t quite ti up the tea he walked over to a largeit up a small wave of chilled air hit his face

This was his version of a refrigerator that he ca black box made of iron with a latch on it Inside a person could see so runes

These were runes that had the job of chilling the inside of this large box The runes didn’t use upte like a frozen arrow spell they didn’t really need retfully Roland wasn’t able to integrate mana stones into the construction quite yet Instead, he needed to periodically charge the htly so as long as the chilly air didn’t escape he didn’t need to recharge it that much

This wasn’t the only i some of his tools with a more modern outlook What did the modern smiths from his old world have that these didn’t? It was s like drills that were used instead of punches for holes

He had rinder He would have liked to rinder but he ith an easier option He just rindstone to be powered with runes The speed it could reach with the added rune was far greater than before and sped up the process of grinding exponentially

The downside was the use of mana but luckily it didn’t burn that much of it dohen activated The rune wasn’t very intricate and didn’t require that much force as it just needed to spin the wheel around He also hoped to iot the otten more info about the later Runesht a skill book that cost hiht had the name ‘Basic Rune Compression’ Just as its name stated it was a skill that allowed a user to condense their runes into s any power

Besides this purchased skill he also gained some with his own class naturally One of the of his sword and it was called ‘Runic Blacksmith’s Eyes’ It allowed him to see cracks and fissures in the items that he crafted in real-time With it, he had an idea where to deliver his next ha the creation procedure

It was also an enhanced version of a similar skill that was called ‘Blacks the runecrafting process Only when he got that skill was he able to break through frorade

Another skill was called ‘ Blacksmith’s Heat Sense’ and it was used to help a sht heat Thanks to this he always knehen the

These were all nice and helpful skills but the one he really wanted to find was related to er about it but apparently, the runesmiths kept that one a secret There were very few skill books out there with it and it cost a lot noh a contract extension

There was also the way of earning skills yourself or unlocking it with your class He could very well receive it theclass of his choice or down the line There was no reason to put hi and could already produce weapons above ular runes skill that showed him the way

The only real problerade equipment Even with his improved level and skills, it wasn’t that easy There was also the probleraded really fast with any runes above the lesser grade

The natural step up would be deep iron and deep steel that was an alloy froher costs and increased difficulty in runecrafting

He glanced at his skills once er L 6, Circuitry L 7, Tinkerer L 8, Identify L 8, Basic Mana Shaping L 9, Basic Mana Regulation L 9, Mana Sense L 9, Basic Rune Mastery L 9, Basic Rune Scribing L 9, Basic S Mastery L 8, Basic Runecraft L 7, Runic Blacksmith’s Eyes L 5, Blacksmith’s Heat Sense L 6, Basic Rune Compression L 3, Ethereal Pathways L 6

He received the heat sense skill at level 7 and the blacksmith’s eyes skill at level 13 He had been a blackshtly faster than of other smiths but not by that much The basic skills leveled up fairly quickly Hetoodid keep hi He felt that in a year or two he should have all these skills e

The er, Circuitry, and Tinkerer skills that he had from day one They had also leveled up, the tinkerer one theexperience to it thanks to s The other two probably ranked up thanks to runecrafting or runescribing It took quite a long tih, alured that the runes he orking on ain much experience

“Maybe if I focus on runic compression I’ll be able to squeeze some common runes on the swords so that they don’t rabbing his coat He didn’t find o do so Noat the pubs and inns He left his workshop with a layer of clothes, it inter this season and it was quite chilly outside The s youth were barely visible as it had started to snow

‘Maybe when o to a city with less snow and rain…’

He thought to hi him push a shall up towards hishad occurred for the past year and a half Roland was slowly getting used to this kind of life but if it would continue as such no one knew
