Chapter 234 Vardia and Zyra (2/2)
”Sounds about right. I doubt that Caria and Melissa will suddenly end up with adult bodies or stay like young children forever.” He added before Vardia pointed at Eisen's lap.
”And what is that wolf there? Is that your pet?” She asked just as calm as before, her outward nature entirely different from Brody's.
”Well, I guess? But not really. I made her, after all. She's a clockwork automaton in the shape of a wolf, and the horse over there is also one.” Eisen explained, and Zyra frowned deeply while looking at the golden-furred creature. ”You're trying to tell me that you made a robot that acts like a wolf? Seriously? You expect me to believe that? Nat- Evalia! That old guy can-” Zyra started saying, for some reason getting riled up, before Eisen sighed loudly and pulled out some of the strings holding the seams together and pulled the brass-fur covered leather-skin away from the back, revealing not only the glittering mana-crystal muscles but also the clockwork mechanism underneath.
”Yeah, about that…” Alnico started saying, and Stahl continued as he scratched the back of his head, ”Grampa is the best craftsman in the world. Give him an empty room and some time, and he'll build you a fully-furnished bedroom out of dust.” He explained, and Zyra, who was now slowly starting to understand that Eisen really could do these things stayed silent, while Kyla tilted her head to the side.
”Out of dust? That's a lie, though, isn't it?” She asked, confused before Evalia began to chuckle. ”Tell that to the chair you're sitting on.” She laughed, and Kyla stared down at the rock surface that appeared out of nowhere a little while ago, and Eisen chose to change the topic swiftly.
”Anyway, let's not talk about that for now. I was told that you have some ideas of the type of characters you want to play. Zyra, here's a bow, since Evalia told me you want that. And Vardia, a staff so that you can start with magic. Then, Kyla, I have some gloves that I had a friend of mine equipped with a little bit of a metal lining. They aren't great quality, but they should do. These are comparatively old items. Right now, I can only make items with a stat or level requirement that should be too high for you, so until I get my crafting skills to Rank 4 and get the side-ability to be able to choose what Rank my items should be you'll have to live with that.” Eisen explained to them, before moving onto his grandchildren.
”Right now, because of those reasons, I can only give you a simple, boring sword without much going on, Stahl. And I don't have anything for you right now in general, Alnico. I haven't made many instruments, but I'm sure Evalia should be able to help you out or lend you some of hers so that you can at least get some skills and figure out what you want to do, right?” Eisen suggested as he looked over toward Evalia, who nodded her head quite quickly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”Yup, I'll help you as much as I can.” She answered with a smile, gazing over toward Stahl for just a second, before Eisen once more moved on, slowly standing up while Aulu jumped off his lap and then onto the front bench of the carriage.
”Alright, I think that should be all we needed to talk about for now. Take a seat in the carriage, and then we'll make our way over to Handor.” Eisen said as he shrunk down and sat down next to his mechanical wolf.
”Already? Don't you think that's a bit quick?” Zyra asked with a frown, but Eisen just sighed loudly. ”Not really, no. We're leaving with the ship tomorrow morning, and I want to introduce all of you to the other people that are coming with us. On top of that, we also have some other stuff to take care of before then.” He answered, and Zyra crossed her arms and looked over at Evalia.
”Can't we stay here a bit longer? I started recording a little bit before you came, of course, I didn't record the conversation just now, but I want to at least show everyone a bit more of the town here for content.” She said before Brody interjected.
”Listen here, stop being so cranky, will ya? Come with us or don't, I don't care, but we're leaving in a bit. Look, there's nothin' interesting going on in these small towns. Maybe you can get an interesting quest here and there, but none of your 'content's gonna be unique. People are gonna watch it, sure, but it's gonna be pretty short-lived fame once others reach a higher level than you. So take the chance we're givin' you to travel to islands created by the gods and be the first and only one that can show people seafarin' content or some shit, as well as all the unique monsters on those islands. Take it, or leave it, but shut the hell up.” Brody told her in a quite lengthy monologue, before turning around and entering the carriage with his wife directly behind him, while Zyra stood there basically shocked.
”I've gotta give it to Brody, he's a bit of an idiot with anything other than fighting, but you're a bit rude, Z,” Evalia added before two horns appeared behind Eisen from inside the carriage.
”Oye, I heard that!” Brody complained, and Evalia began to chuckle as she followed Kyra and Jyuuk into the carriage as well. ”I know, Brody. Anyway, Z, are you coming or not?” The artist asked her friend, who ended up sighing loudly and nodding, before following Evalia into the carriage.
Relieved that he didn't have to do anything, Eisen helped Caria and Melissa climb into the back part of the carriage and had Aulu lay on his lap so that he could sew her leather-skin back together before he made space for his grandchildren to sit next to him.
