Muscle pain is manageable once you start moving. The most painful time is when you try to move suddenly after staying still.
"Oh my God. ......"
Grunting, Adriana gets up, using her healing magic to slightly reduce the pain. After getting up, rinsing out her mouth and washing her face, she managed to get her body to listen to her.
"Today we will collect the chromium and nickel and ......".
Adriana plans her day over breakfast.
(I think I'll make enough for the residents plus an extra fork and then we'll leave. ......)
We decided to stay a bit longer because it was so cozy, but Adriana had a purpose.
(, or ......)
) It was a rumor she had heard while traveling around with her father Shuki.
I can laugh it off as just a rumor, but when I realize the concentration of free magic element (ether) that gets denser as you go north, it would not be surprising if there is a civilization with advanced magic technology that utilizes this dense free magic element (ether) in the north.
(Besides, your father's wife ...... also lived in the north.)
Shuki rarely mentions his beloved wife Adriana, whose maiden name is Tierra.
Adriana was heading north in order to reach higher levels of magical engineering.
"Ad, don't eat while you're thinking, okay?"
"Yes, yes."
Adriana, chided by Baise, hurriedly gulped down the rest of the seafood soup.
* * * * * *
After a hurried breakfast, Adriana rushed to the beach.
Krull and Marle are out gathering clary berries. Krull and Marle are busy gathering clary berries, before the birds and beasts eat them.
Adriana has come to the coast, of course, to check on the .
"Wow!"
There was more chromium and nickel extracted than expected.
"That's ......800 grams of chromium and 520 grams of nickel. That's enough to make stainless steel!"
This would make 4444.4 grams of stainless steel. We need 355.6 grams of nickel and 3288.9 grams of iron. We need 355.6 grams of nickel and 3,288.9 grams of iron.
Adriana takes it immediately to the blacksmith Phytos.
Phytos is used to this by now and is waiting for her.
I knew you would come, girl. I already have the iron ready for you.
"Thank you, master."
Adriana decided to call him <> since it was more appropriate than calling him Mr. Phytos.
She starts work immediately.
She has done this so many times that she is used to it, and now the master is not so surprised anymore. He is just impressed.
"That's very convenient, isn't it? If we could do that, we could make a lot more things.
We can make engineering magic available to those who can't use it.
We have studied such magic tools before, but they are still far from perfection.
But first the task at hand, Adriana devoted herself to the production of stainless steel.
The next step is forks. ......<. ......<>!"
"It's always a sight to see, isn't it?"
The master who was looking at her let out a surprised voice.
She separates 10 pieces of stainless steel and then deforms them into 10 forks at once. The forks are connected to each other by thin .
There are not many magecraftsmen who can do the same thing.
"Master, I know this is a lot of work, but could you please cut them apart?"
"Oh, I'll take care of it."
It was tedious to just watch. The master accepted Adriana's request.
He does not only detach the pieces, but also files and finishes the cut parts.
Adriana, on the other hand, puts all her energy into her work.
"......<><>. <><>. <<><>......"
In this way, the required number of forks were made in a dozen or so times.
"Hey, hey, you're too fast! You haven't finished separating the forks yet.
All 170 forks were given a mirror finish at once, and they shone brightly.
"Phew, it's done!"
The other day we made 30 forks, for a total of 200 forks. The immediate goal had been reached.
Adriana returned to the chief's house with the 200 forks she had made. She is accompanied by her master. Or rather, it is her master who is holding the box with the forks.
"Oh, Ad? And your father-in-law.
He knew from our breakfast conversation that I would be home today.
"Today, I brought you a thank you!"
"Thank you?"
"Yes, for everything you've done for me."
"Here, Mehto, this is for you."
Phytos put the box on the table with a thud. He opened it to reveal a gleam of metal.
"Is this a ...... fork?"
"Yes, it is. It's a form popular in King's Landing and other places.
"Oh, this is ......
"Oh, it's not just a shape. It's good to use. It's hard to pull the food out of the fork, and you can use it to cut up some things.
You can also use the sides of the fork to cut into pieces. Unlike a wire, it is strong enough.
"This, Ad?"
"Yeah, it's a big deal!"
The chief Meuto thought as his father-in-law, Phytos, praised it with open arms.
"How much is ......?"
"...... yes?"
Adriana, not understanding the meaning of Mehto's words, asked back.
"No, I was just wondering how much a fork this big, this shiny! I wonder how much they are worth."
In today's market, a wire fork costs from 30 to 50 Tol. (about $30-$500) per wire fork.
According to the report, the forks are made of a new material called that gives them a shine so bright it could be mistaken for silver. Moreover, it is rust-resistant.
"Even though I am the village chief, I am not that wealthy..."
Adriana finally realized that he was mistaken.
"I'm not asking you to buy these. You can have them all."
"What?
Mehto was surprised. Fights was a little surprised too, but he looked like he had a feeling about it.
"What? You're going to give me all of this?
No wonder he is surprised. These forks will probably fetch at least 100 dollars each. Considering the new material and the trendy design, someone would probably buy even 500 tokens.
That is 200 bottles.
He easily gave me 100,000 Tall ......, which is about one million Japanese yen. No wonder Mehto was surprised.
But most of the materials were given to me by my master ...... Mr. Phytos.
"No, no, no, you prepared a metal much rarer than iron.
That alone is worth a hundred thousand dollars, Phytos said.
But Adriana shook her head in denial.
"I have received from Mehto and the others something that money can't buy.
"Hmm?"
Mehto tilts his head.
"I was really happy when you came to check on me in the rain.
Mehto's concern for a gentile like himself.
"I was so happy that he welcomed me so warmly that it brought tears to my eyes. I know it's not even a fraction of that, but it's the least I can do.
Adriana bowed her head.
"So please take it!"
"Thank you, Ad. In that case, I'll take it gratefully. And I can give it to each and every one of the villagers, right?
"Oh, yes! Yes, please!
And so the stainless steel forks were spread in the village of Sico.
