Chapter 40 Crafting
The smithy was as one would expect, very organized and clean. Every single tool had its own place.
If the house was full of dust, the basement could be considered a direct opposite.
Before descending into the smithy I gestured Fenrir to stay upstairs in case Kilgros decides to do another inspection.
While looking around the smithy I didn't notice the dwarf sneaking up on me from behind.
" Take this "
He spoke, making me slightly jump in fright. Turning around I was about to scold him, but kept myself together seeing he had a pencil and some paper.
" I need you to draw me how you want the robe to look "
Kilgros snorted seeing my reaction. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶
With slightly reddened cheeks I took the pencil and started designing the cloth.
First I drew a hood with a visible shadow indicating that one wouldn't see the wearer's face. This made the dwarf's slightly widen, but kept quiet nonetheless.
" He thought that I wanted to show off "
I chuckled seeing his now surprised face receiving a cold look.
Drawing the other half of the cloak I made sure to reinforce my chest and a neck with a layer of metal.
I didn't want the cloak to impair my movements, hence only reinforced the chest and back area where my vitals are. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
I also made sure to make the hood big enough, so my horns would fit in comfortably.
Seeing that I was done with the sketch I was about to leave the smithy and go tour the city while my cloak was being made, but I was stopped by Kalgros' voice.
" You are going nowhere! "
His raspy voice echoed in my ears, slightly disturbing me.
Turning around I gave him a questioning look only to be called a dumbass a few times.
" Do you know how fast we could finish your order if you help me? Come on put on the clothes at the end of the room and quickly comeback "
The blacksmith didn't even wait for me to agree and went to search for materials.
Sighing in defeat I strolled to the end of the room taking a cloth that looked like an apron and equipped it.
Since it wasn't a graded or special item it gave me no Attributes nor Effects, it was just a simple apron.
Looking at the mirror I was happy that my face was hidden. If someone decided to take this picture my career would probably be over.
' The unknown player wearing an apron... on top of his clothes... weird fetish '
I shuddered imagining how'd it go. Spending a few minutes collecting my thoughts and overcoming the fears I finally got ready to assist Kilgros.
" Come here kid! "
Following his shout I came towards him only to be given some kind of black fur. It looked as if it was as wide as paper, but its weight showed otherwise.
Somehow carrying the cloth towards one of the smithing stations I took a deep breath. e his limits and break records by creating yet another masterpiece.
' Good job brat '
He inaudibly said and started hammering the chestplate to fit my Body.
While he was working I was told that I could take a break, because I will not be needed further.
Unequipping the apron I threw it on a nearby chair only to be shouted at to put it at its designated spot.
Leaving Kalgros house I went to the backyard and sat in Lotus position, I needed to recover my Shadow energy I lost during the crafting process.
Feeling the shadows nearby I started attracting them by using my Shadow as a magnet. Soon enough all the shadows In the garden were strangely leaning towards me.
While I was regaining my energy Kilgros was finishing up his work.
If he had to say it honestly, It'll be hard to part with such creation. During his long years of blacksmithing he was sure that this cloak would be one of the best items he's ever created.
Smiling from self satisfaction his eyes once again burned recalling that the brat had a Sapphire.
" I can make a better creation using that "
He thought while grabbing the cloak and climbing up the stairs.
