Chapter 65 Time to sail away. (1/2)

Roland looked at the road beneath this caravan It had changed fro better It was a paved road instead which showed that he was really close to a larger city This also indicated that they had probably gotten away from the lawless lands and monsters

It had been over a day since the bandit encounter Everyone here was still on edge and Roland could tell that people had a hard tiht, they weren’t attacked by anything Neither monster nor bandit had crossed their way, it looked like it was finally over

‘I should probably look overthe various pouches along with his belt He had gained more of them thanks to the encounter with the bandits He was now in possession of some neeapons They weren’t well made, nor were they enchanted but the materials from which they were produced made him smile

Deep Steel Curved Dagger [ Intermediate ] [ Durability 49]

Both of these weapons were made from deep iron To produce deep steel you used a siular steel

To ular everyday steel, iron ore was first round It was then smelted in a blast furnace to have the impurities removed After this, a small amount of carbon would be added, usually, it was below 1

The s process with deep iron was practically the saest problem was that this mineral had a lot of mana in it It was a lot harder to ical blast furnaces

They had added enchantments or runes to increase the heat and also make them more resistant to it The carbon added was also a special kind that had also absorbed mana before

The finished product would produce an item that was a lot harder and resistant Even a crude weapon made from deep steel would break a finely made steel one It was just a tier above and it was also the metal of choice for tier 2 adventurers It was the metal that runesmiths worked thelike mithril or orichalcum

Roland looked over these two items The mace was just a clubwas a flanged htly spiky and added a lot of weight He could probably bash a lot of goblin heads in with this thing and it would be really proficient against opponents with heavier arht in full platea one-handed sword Metallic arainst slashi+ng and piercing attacks On the other hand, they weren’t so good against blunt force, even less if the person in the arh the are

Roland looked over this mace, it was chipped here and there but it could be repaired A weapon that was for bashi+ng in skulls didn’t need thattoo If it was a sword that lost its sharp blade, it would be another thing

The dagger on the other hand looked a lot worse The blade was dull, chipped and even part of the tip was rind a lot of it down to ain It was still repairable but the blade on it would have to be shortened

‘I can still add a rune on it, with it being deep steel it will last quite a bit more than those wands of mine…’

The mace was better as a weapon for now but it was still only er on the other hand was a finished product that ith his runes He just needed to get his rune condensation skill increased to fit a coht have looked like the best weapon out of the bunch For him that wasn’t the case, he had already lifted the rune that was on the ax for himself He had the schematic and could put that enchantment on any of these teapons

The two-handed ax was also a bit too big for his frame, he would rather use a shi+eld weapon combo A shi+eld also had a lot of unused surface space that he could placeseveral defensive spells on it that would barely use anyof mana stones Roland was in possession of quite a few Besides the ones he had ae, there were also a bunch in the bandit’s possession

He now had a large bag filled to the briot hi smithy he would be able to deck himself out with theem-like items outside the armor

These stones weren’t that resistant, the lesser ones could be broken doith a hard sood direct smack with a metal weapon would put cracks in it

He would need to think about a good design for anything like that From his perspective, it would be better to place the sockets on the inside of the aret in the way that is He needed soic places on the outside as well, some that wouldn’t nor new crafting designs they finally arrived at the port city He could see soht had fallen fro for two days al attacked

Roland wasn’t sure what the authorities would do in this situation, this was the first time he was involved in a bandit attack He didn’t think that they would be questioning hih

There was a bit of trouble with getting in through the gate at first but after giving an explanation they got in The adventurers headed straight for their guild, probably to make a report and maybe to ask if some of their other companions survived

After the man-made avalanche, the middle part of the caravan was taken out The ones at the front were the ones here The people that were in the back had to contend with a barricade of rocks though while the ones in front could e hole in that barricade with a fire blast spell

Even if soe or they es on the other side There would probably be a rescue party being for the adventurersthere for free

He his taken care of as well With the increase of his bags of holding there was a lot of clutter in there He had taken a share of the bandit’s armor and steel weapons They were mostly in bad shape and served no purpose He decided to sellthe ones that were in the best shape for hi around this caravan any a report It pained hiet a reward for his troubles He had gotten enough iteood boost to his workshop budget

He would probably need to order some stuff from the blacksmiths that lived there at first This was fine as he wanted to do so with his craft He wanted to gain soure out how his class could be utilized for it So in his head, if they would work out in the field would have to be tasted

Roland arrived at an armorer’s shop He didn’t beat around the bush for h-looking dith the usual long red beard

“I’d like to sell some items”

“Aye, Whit do ye have laddie?”
