Chapter 241: Back in the workshop

“Wayland?”

A concerned Elodia looked at the unused bedroo if so in she had to stick to his pseudonym It was clear to her that he had not used his bedroos Yet before she could investigate further the disembodied voice of the house owner sounded out

“I’m in the workshop, is it already time for breakfast? … I could probably use a break, I’ll be there in a few minutes, I just need to finish this first”

Elodia looked at the faintly glowing rune that was talking to her It was inscribed on the wall to so that looked like a s wires to this thing previously which was apparently supposed to guide the required energy tohow the rune worked she was still not used to all the strange contraptions littering the whole place This was one of the downsides of being together with acould appear out of the blue and explode in her face It was especially dangerous whenever Roland tested neeapons or gole har the one-sided o to sleep last night and continued to work through its entirety She had quickly returned to the orphanage to check up on the young ones There she remained until dawn as it was already too late to head back to the church

‘Heto recover his sta-related profession she was able to inject tiny buffs into the food that she redients and , the effects were quiteQuickly she put on an apron and got to work in the kitchen while waiting for the h, is it alreadyat the runic clock that was showing hi and half an hour before the shop would be opening He had decided to close it for the ti as he knew that Elodia needed to take care of the kids at the orphanage He had forgotten to mention yesterday that it had been somewhat hectic

There wasn’tthe divine runes After scribbling down the twolight up Just as he expected on the inside was a small empyrean crystal of a yellow hue These always took on the color of the divinity they were charged with

With Solaria being the do on the priest that was injecting their mana into the container The more saturated the colors became the better the quality was In this case, the empyrean crystal was a pale yellohich placed it on the lesser quality spectruical device he noted down all the runic pathways and methods that the craftsman used The crystal was placed into a tiny frame with a socket and then encased in metal to produce the round outer shell This socket it was on, had suide the energy from it

The inside was mostly filled out but there were some pockets of air here and there It seeetting treated by heated metal This item was clearly placed into a mold and then polished before the outer shell was inscribed Such a process would not be hard to recreate and it was probably created in this way to protect the gem from outside shocks

Then there was the Talisman of Faith, this required him to use his most uncomfortable skill Luckily he had already worked on lesser enchantments like this one so he had been successful in his endeavor This last task took hiht and he had just finished when he noticed Elodia entering his home Now he had all the basics prepared and needed to draw up the et another low score for style again…’

While walking away froe test he went through With not enough ti basic In his head, he was looking at a box with a spot to place the divine crystal in Then in another side compartment some space for mana fluid

‘Have to e it…’

The design needed to be siuards could take out a used-up empyrean crystal and also fill it back in with mana fluid It needed to be as close to what the people in this kingdom were used to For himself, he would make an altered version that used his own runic batteries

‘I need to eat so up he could feel his sto in protest The only meal he had yesterday was the leftovers that he found in the runic fridge With how Elodia had shown up his hunger had been exasperated It was one thing to eat a coldfresh and war faster towards the exit

“Hey Boss, a good mornin’ to ya!”

“Oh hey, Bernir”

His assistant had his oorkshop through which he could get into the underground main lair He also came to work at the same time with Elodia and his wife Mostly the three would ether for safety reasons It was always safer in a group with people that carried ical weapons that Rolandto use the portable runic gun for self-defense

“What’s with that eye…”

“Oh nothing, the et rowdy fro at Sister Kassia’s backside and Dyana’s reaction To this day he wasn’t quite sure how the two ended up with each other The size difference was quite large and Bernir seeet rid of that part before uess this world's sensibilities are different, if a , it's not hard to attract them…’

In reality, Roland would also be able to profit froetting froirls illing to approach the scary-looking runesreat cook and he wasn’t really willing to jeopardize this heartwar

“Well, She probably had a reason for it… try not to get killed over stupid things, but if things get out of hand, I'll talk to her about it”

He wasn't one to allow spousal abuse even if the morals in this world were different Yet it didn't see hit, for some reason it looked like he actually enjoyed it

“Aye boss, don’t worry, I’ll be ave Roland a little wink as if the probleht

“That was not… but it’s your life…”

He just shrugged while going up the stairs, if his assistant wanted to risk it then it was fine What Roland worried about was that he would be bringing a bad at place if it continued Perhaps it was not such a great idea to ith your significant other in the same area

“Wayland?”

“Yes, it’s me”

“Wait for a second, Ispecial!”

Elodia had co so he had created some modern tools A pressure cooker had many uses and wasn’t hard to rade her cooking skills to a new level and also hasten the process Most people in this world were stuck using regular stoves using coal or wood, notwith a fully functioning enchanted stove

The ht the s His whole lower body tre If he could he would toss himself at that pressure cooker to devour the hot stew inside

“You really look famished, sit down and relax for a moment”

“Sure”

After afor the food to get colder began to talk

“I thought you’d be with the kids, it’s fine if we close the shop for the week, I’ve gotten a coh to cover our expenses for a while”

Roland took a sip of warm tea that had the perfect temperature that he always liked It seeot here

“It’s fine, Aret examined”

“Did her friend recover yet?”

“I’ht but poor Jasper hadn’t woken up It doesn’t seeer but the priests aren’t sure why he hasn’t woken up yet, they said that his body is healthy”

He nodded while putting his cup away The Abyssal Larva that was in Jasper’s head was close to his brain, it wouldn’t be strange if it affected it in so arts and not e His old world was far e that an afflicted person went through could be devastating

‘It’s better if I don’t etable…’

“I’y hadn’t left his body fully and he just needs to recover”

Elodia nodded while blowing on her spoon before placing it in her h this part was somewhat of a tradition Only after they were done did they resu dishes

“What did the Lord want?”

“Nothing ave hi his bowl to Elodia who started washi+ng it

“There is another way?”

“Not exactly, we still need the priests from the church to heal the afflicted but it’s possible to detect the ones that are sick”

“There is?”
