“I should just activate it?”

“Yeah, do it as many times as you can”

“Okay, boss”

Bernir and Roland were standing outside in the backyard Agni was in the background chasing his own tail while the tere perfor iron tube Bernir started to insert mana into it This tube had a couple of mana stones attached to them and they lit up the moment the runic components were activated

“Hh pressure was released fro besides that The initial activation made his hand jerk due to the blowback He looked at Roland as if he ondering if this was all

“Continue”

Roland replied while watching his assistant activate thistowards his forehead

“Six times before the first headache?”

“Yes Boss, ouch this stings, I don’t kno you do it”

Bernir started to rub his template as a similar sensation of when a person ate ice creaave hiured he would disclose the information soon

“Good… now…”

Roland took the tube back and inserted so it back to his assistant Bernir peeked inside but couldn’t really make out what his boss placed in there

“Okay, now point it at the durade mana potion Bernir looked at a straw dummy that he had made a day before Roland ordered hi some new items The dummy looked more like a scarecrow as Bernir didn’t really have any experience innow!”

He held it out with two hands this tiripped it harder as he was now used to the knockback The ain he could see a round eneral direction of the straw due marble connected with the dummy a small explosion occurred This caused Bernir to jump back and fall onto his butt while Roland just observed it while standing next to hi practice…”

One side of the dummy had been bloay by this explosion Roland was just testing a neeapon that he intended to give to his assistant Bernir had a er mana pool which didn’t allow for o with the disposable iten was a sainst the bandits That tis which had his scrolls inside then a sort of launcher so that Bernir would be able to defend himself from attackers

First, he needed to test Bernir’s mana capacity and how many times he would be able to use his neeapon Then he would just need to corenade launchers from his oorld caer but just to inject some mana

It looked like six shots would be the limit for Bernir before he would need to drink a ed cylinder with six chaive Bernir regular spell scrolls for protection, but having a weapon like this would help with ai and a faster rate of fire

Roland was a bit surprised that no one can Most people still preferred to just use regular spell scrolls while holding theun-related technology, no one was interested in innovating in that direction Froe cannons like on the merchant shi+p he ated to siege weapons or defenses on castle towers If you took into consideration that high level archers could outperform modern-day firearms then it ood at throwing bo he could steady his aiuess no one really cares aboutweapons for the non-combative classes…’

“Okay, that should do it Think we cana prototype”

Roland wondered if there would be a market for such items This weapon made sense to him who could actually produce the ae silver or renade would quickly bankrupt theuild Don’t forget the letter arrived”

Roland grabbed the prototype rod that would be used for the launcher barrel He wasn’t really sure if he wanted to le Bernir could just pop the grenade in through the top for a quick reload which would sis but also make them slower

He was not souns that much, so he could mostly just borrow his ideas froy

“Yeah, I reet those iteuilddetails forwith how to build the smelter for it It had been a couple of weeks since then but only now had word reached them There was also a possibility that he wasn’t able to procure it and he would just give hio there today, stay here with Agni and train up those skills”

Bernir had also finally advanced to the tier 2 Armorsmith class From what Roland was told the item that he had to make was a half-plate armor Half-plate ar protection and a helmet

When asked about the time limit Bernir was surprised He was apparently allowed to take his time and only when he was done the final product was tested by the class up system Roland wanted to file a complaint to the people that made this systes The reason for that was probably the rarity of the classes that he went for Bernir chose the eneric one which made the tests quite easy

It was still a tier 2 class though and with it, Bernir was the proud owner of the Armorsmith class Now finally he would be able to craft the armors that he always dreamed about With the added skills this would becoe that Bernir had to offer He was the son of a dwarven blacksmith that had also been an armorsmith apparently Thanks to this Roland could learn a couple of s techniques that he wasn’t clued in With this htened dexterity, it was easy to replicate what Bernir was proficient in

“Aye boss, I’ll use these if anything happens so you don’t need to worry”

Bernir pointed to his hip where he had a couple of card-sized scrolls The weapons weren’t ready so the best defense for Bernir were the renade launcher as un For that, he needed to further his cos to do…’

Roland had been having trouble focusing on one thing lately Agni needed further training as his level didn't go up er forn and still decrypting the runic code that would be the basis for it

Then there were his own skills and the defenses for his ho weapons and earn money to support hi him out now, he wouldn’t need to focus on armor as much

The only downside to this was that the corresponding skills for ar up assoether with his assistant, with some help he would be able to create more improvements and do it faster

‘Wonder if that baldy really got those schematics…’

Roland closed the door behind hini to stay and protect the house The Ruby Wolf was quite intelligent and could follow simple orders like this At this point he would not chase after him into the city, nor would he destroy the inside of the house if left alone
