Today I wanted to dedicate myself to do many activities so I can not waste any second. Through the week I've decided to also take Forging Classes with Darfu, three hours a day mostly, with a break in between. I'll take another two hours for Alchemy, and then I'll spend the rest of the day helping around the village and spending time with the children, Nyx is not that desperate for attention and she doesn't mind if I am not around all the time either, as she likes her Aunt Brunhild because she also has a tail to bite, but she still had grown attached to me in this little time.
Lucifer said that Dragons were intelligent since being born, Nyx can't really speak well but she can already say papa and mama and know which person is which. Lucifer told me that baby dragons often are born with intelligence of a child at their five years of age compared to humans and take a bit of time to properly talk to communicate what they want. She's currently mostly in her "eat and nap" stage and we already gave her a warm bath in the morning, so that little goober is probably sleeping right now.
Just thinking about her makes me smile a bit, I want to keep working hard for that little tail biter. She's a cheeky little brat but she's so cute and adorable. I think I clicked with her from the very beginning.
"Alright then have fun." Emeraldine quickly gave me a little kiss before leaving.
"I'll work on my alchemy and I'll show you I can make an antidote potion today Master." Partner said while feeling pumped up, as she gave me several kisses over my face before leaving.
"Don't take it too far though, Partner. Also Emeraldine, don't push her too much either!" I said, as the two girls quickly walked away hurriedly.
After that Darfu quickly started his classes.
"Alright we'll begin with the very basics, smelting ores and making ingots." He said. "Lady Maria, you know how an ore is processed until it becomes a piece of equipment?"
"Yeah they melt and stuff and then make something new with it?" I asked.
"Well yes, but there are also several processes in between. The first one that we need to do is ore separation."
BAAM!
Darfu quickly brought a large piece of ore, putting it over the table. The large rock had many ores stuck together, almost melted into one. I could use my Inventory to separate them automatically, but it was nice to learn new things so I didn't suggested that.
"We first have to slam them with this small pickaxe and slowly tear apart each piece, separate them and then wash away all the dirt and rocks in between, slowly shacking them and filtering every bit of metal, which is very valuable." Darfu said. He had a whole process he has been doing with some of the ores he had taken from the boxes we brought from the country of dwarves.
He first washed them with water magic and then began to clean them, slowly tearing apart the different colored metals and crystals.
"Like this." He sighed in relief, after twenty minutes of arduous work.
"Woah, that's rather amazing. You did it pretty fast too." I said.
"Naturally, I've earned a lot of experience over my young age." Laughed Darfu.
"But I can also just use my Inventory for this…" I sighed.
"Eh?"

I quickly grabbed one of those rocks, put it inside the inventory, and then decided to "dismantle" it.
"Done."
The I placed each different piece of ore over the table, Darfu's face was shocked, but he quickly sighed.
"Right, I guess you can do that. I remember now…" He sighed. "Well, this will certainly make things easier in the processing of ores… Well now, time to warm the furnace."
Quickly after, Darfu used some special stones I had acquired from the Mine which I had saved from Brunhild's vicious appetite…

[Furnace Stone (E G r a d e)]
A blazing stone imbued with the element of fire, when touched, it will quickly absorb mana from the one touching it and begin flaring with a lot of heat. It is often used in furnaces to warm them up and generate enough heat to melt ores. It has a high value between Smiths.

Furnace Stones are one of the keys for the special Magic Furnaces of Dwarves to work properly. By infusing Mana into them, they begin to flare with immense firepower and generate enough heat for these magic furnaces to work properly and melt many magical ores too hard for normal blaze to melt.
"And like this, we slowly melt the ores and turn them into ingots. It is important for the ingots to be in a good shape, using normal ore alone won't do. We first need to shape the ore into an ingot so it can be later shaped into equipment way more easily." He said.
"I see, I understand how it works." I said while nodding.
Like that, Darfu taught me how to make ingots and everything else. Crystals were treated differently as mostly alchemy was used to reshape them around, or well, special tools to slowly chip them away.
"Now that we are done with the basics let's try out Hammer techniques. I've brought you a novice hammer." He said, giving me a small hammer. "I'll first show you how I make a small knife and then you just copy me, Lady Maria.
"Got it."
Darfu slowly warmed an ingot in the furnace until it became moldable and began using his hammer to slowly reshape it. He first began smacking it until it became incredibly thin and then slowly started moving it around, elongating the piece of metal while exposing it to fire over and over again, then putting it on water, then back into the fire, with several intervals which seemed to require some mighty levels of patience.
