Chapter 144 - Crafting new kits. (1/2)
This time, I didn't dare to use normal iron available in the forge. With access to far greater materials from my storage ring, I simply took out an ingot of orichalcum that I apparently received from the shop.
Infusing my energy into the ore, I was going to throw it into the forge when a notification popped out inside my head.
”Blop!”
”Do you wish to use item randomizer?”
Well, I still have some more of those ores, so I think it's worth giving a try.
After taking out some of the other rare materials from my storage ring, I grabbed them all in my hands.
I wish to put those items into item randomizer.
BOP!
In a flash, a glowing sphere appeared in front of me, lightly pulling on the materials gathered in my palms. After giving a last, longing look towards this rare and expensive stuff, I closed my eyes and inserted them into the sphere.
As soon as I retracted my hands, I felt a pull on my energy, as the sphere started stealing it from my mana pool! While it wasn't the best feeling that I have experienced in my life, it was bearable so I just waited for the effects.
With a funny POB sound, the sphere imploded, leaving a lump of shining metal with a round hole on its side. After hanging in the air for a few seconds as I stared at it with a dumbfounded look, it suddenly felt down to the floor!
CRASH!
In an instant, this seemingly useless Bonger's poop, crashed through the stone floor and sank down about four meters into the ground under the building foundations!
How heavy it is supposed to be to just break through all those layers of stone slabs and crushed stone underneath?
As Eve watched me with a dumbfounded look on her face, I had to get down on my knees and dig all the way down to where this metal piece laid. Finally grabbing it with of hands, I could feel how heavy it was. While I was able to lift it with relative ease, I understood that with just a slightly lower strength stat, I wouldn't be able to lift it at all!
”Blop!”
”Warhammer head +7, rare grade”
”Only usable in blunt attacks”
”Required strength: 180”
”Required constitution: 180”
Wait, why are the stats only speaking about the requirements? Where is my sweet sweet bonus to my attacks?
Looking at this lump of metal that barely had any form, I couldn't help but curse at Bonger in my thoughts. If that's the effect of average smithing… Wait! I think I get it. I guess my smithing ability won't be taken into account while randomising the items!
I guess we need to do the smithing in the old way.
Throwing the warhammer head into my storage ring, I took out another ingot, this time of Mythril. This legendary metal from all the fantasy stories all around the earth was supposed to be light as a feather but resilient as steel… I guess that won't do for the entirety of the sword!
Taking another orichalcum from my storage ring, I infused both of the ores with my energy, before throwing them into two separate forges. Thanks to advancing the smithing skills I knew that not only the ores needed to be infused with my energy but the flames itself as well!
As the solid metal slowly heated up, I continued supplying the heat with my own energy while taking out the sewing kit and a few bits of cheap leather that I procured on the first floor on the shop before it got devastated by the shop owner outburst.
