How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 58. I live a wizard (5)

“.... Asha? It's kind of embarrassing to come all the way here, but wouldn't it have been better to come with Seina this time?”

“I can't do that. Of course, I'm not doubting Seina's skills. However...

Asha continues to speak while trying to keep her cool while making an expression that she is somehow intrusive.

“Because Seina will just pass on their rudeness.”

That's why I tried to bring him.

I'm afraid you'll fight them.

The last time the dwarves came to Fahilia to make paper machines, they showed their Dwarves' distinctive grandiosity or their insensitivity to those around them.

They treated me very casually.

Because of that, Asha's perception of the dwarves is not very good.

In terms of personality, she and the dwarves are very different.

At least for the sake of her blood pressure, this time she tried to bring Seina, who was easy to pass, but Asha followed suit.

“This time, if you show disrespect, I will show you the truth.”

She patted the spear on her back and murmured.

.... No, it's troublesome if you show me.

“Asha. I'm here because of today's work. So don't hit me on my feet.”

“Arel-nim... But...

“But and what. no way.”

“.... yes.”

“Are you going to punish me if I get in trouble?”

I said it half-jokingly. Asha listened intently and nodded.

Punishment with a female knight. Well, it's a beautiful word for some reason.

Hmmm... It might be okay to buy and hit.

It's useless talk like this.

I was able to enter only after paying close attention.

Inside the forge, the temperature suddenly seemed to boil.

This is because the furnace and the bellows are constantly working with fire without rest.

.... It's a big deal. I already want to go outside.

“... even in this heat, you can't get down.”

If it were me, I would have run out in no time.

In the end, I couldn't stand the heat and activated the magic tool for adjusting the temperature hidden in my clothes, and it became a little more comfortable.

This is a new product that I recently purchased.

It's worth living.

Still, the temperature of the air permeating your nose is still hot.

The only downside is that even if the body temperature is controlled, the air itself cannot be helped.

However, because Asha did not use this magic tool, her skin quickly became sweaty.

Actually, I was going to give it to her, but she refused, saying, “If you use something like that, you'll be lazy.”

Of course, she has no choice but to use it in extreme situations, but she seems to have her own pride.

“Let’s see. That guy's workshop...

This iron workshop is being used by 35 dwarves in separate sections.

“By the way, didn’t Arel-nim contact you first?”

“I did.”

I'm also common sense. For now.

I have the manner of sending at least a letter before visiting.

“what. Even so, it’s like those guys who don’t send a farewell.”

Perhaps you have read the letter.

Still, if you look at the fact that no one has come out to guide you so far.

It's really like them to say, “If you have a business, come find me.”

Let's see, the guy I'm looking for...

As I was looking around, a human blacksmith wearing a hood hurried towards me.

“Um... is this really Ernesia-sama Arerel?”

“however?”

It must be this guy calling my name.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Arell! I should have come to meet you earlier, but now that stubborn, goddamn teacher is talking to

me ...

It's kind of sad...

From the looks of it, he looks like his disciple.

“hmm? As usual, Asha got mad at you for your rudeness and was about to stab you with a spear.”

Pity and my playfulness are two different things.

“Hey!?”

“Arel! When did I say that! no!”

The apprentice blacksmith turned blue and Asha panicked and shouted no.

The joke is like this.

“You're his disciple right?”

“yes. This is Ben. I've been an apprentice to that damn dwarf for 15 years.”

Have you suffered for 15 years or so under that stocky and dirty-tempered middle-aged man?

This guy... he's such a pitiful guy...

and the way he just jumped out of his pants.

I think I know something about this guy's troubles.

Even Asha was looking at her with a sympathetic gaze.

Asha looked even more pitiful because she truly hated that dwarf.

“Arell? Why are you looking at me like that...

“No. I just didn't think it was pitiful or pitiful. Quickly guide me to your master.”

Following the guidance, I went into the room that I usually use for guests.

After waiting for a while, the dwarf Aken entered the room, smelling of heat and sweat from his body, as if he had been working just a moment ago.

“joy. It's slow. When do you think you received the letter?”

“Isn’t it strange to think that the letter will come right away as soon as it arrives?”

Anyway, these guys are impatient.

In the first place, they do not exchange greetings with each other.

Archen sat down in his chair and inhaled and exhaled deeply as if trying to catch his breath.

“Whoa… you’re busy. Would you like a drink?”

This middle-aged man gives you a drink with the feeling that he will serve you some tea? Also solo?

“I do not need. Before that, my escort will get angry, so don't bring it out.”

“Hey, can’t you still drink?”

“It’s not that I can’t drink, it’s that I don’t drink.”

And I'm still 14 years old. It doesn't matter if it's just wine, but dwarven shippers are in trouble?

It's not that my body is in trouble, it's that the reactions around me are troublesome.

As usual, when this guy was staying in Fahilia and making paper machines, he tried to drag me into a drinking party several times, and Asha almost stabbed me several times.

“red. Are you still being swayed by the words of a bitch?”

In the end, I had to stop Asha from getting angry again.

Even if it looked like that, it wouldn't matter how angry Asha was because her body, which had been forged through blacksmithing, wasn't normal.

Although he uses an Aura, he is equivalent to an Aura Practitioner-class knight with only his hardened body.

dwarves are scary

“Tell me about the business. What else are you asking for?”

“I came to ask, but it’s a little different.”

I'm not trying to show you a blueprint to make something like before.

If that was the case in the first place, I wouldn't have come to their workshop in the capital.

“what?”

Aken also intuition that my mood is unusual, and asks a little more seriously.

“Half of you. Sign an exclusive contract with me.”

It's not that I want you to tie it, but tie it.

half command

Originally, if I said something like that, a hammer would fly right on the spot.

“joy. don't refuse Apparently, he was drunk without even needing to serve a drink.”

“This is what you say with your mind. And listen to the end of the human story.”

I took a break and spoke again.

“Bring at least half of your staff and set up a branch in Fahilia. I will pay for the cost of bringing in facilities and equipment in the form of my exclusive use.”

“So you're saying no to that!”

Naturally, Aken refused.

“Why do we have to go to that remote land?”

It's a natural question.

At best, they set up a decent base in the capital.

In general, there is no reason to come down to Fahilia.

“Of course, it's not like signing an exclusive contract for free.”

“Money doesn’t matter.”

Know.

Buying gold coins doesn't work for you.

I already know what the bait is to catch you.

So, of course, I have been prepared.

“I will give you the technology I researched.”

“technology? Even so...

His eyebrows twitched, but he was still trying to express his disapproval.

I'm interested in my technology, but do you think it's not attractive enough to divide the branch into two?

So I'll throw in some more specific bait.

“Damascus steel.”

“What'?”

“Is that one of your goals?”

I smiled.

“...is it just that kid?”

I guess I can already guess who the source of the information is.

Why did the dwarves set up a forge in the capital?

I've heard from Darman about the reason.

They want to make some metals and swords out of them.

However, in the old Dwarves' hometown, that was impossible.

So, they set up a forge in the center of Ernesia Kingdom.

Because this is the country with the most mines among the great countries.

It is because there is a hope that if you study while working as a blacksmith here, you will be able to reach the metal they desire.

Pursue the target technology and set up a workshop in a distant land.

Is it their own romance?

“Isn’t it a joke to say that knowingly?”

“of course. I know how to make Damascus steel.”

Archen's eyes changed.

“Are you serious?”

The way he spoke also became a bit youthful.

They don't even care about rank, they wag their tails only in front of technology.

I like it! caught!

“Really. And if you stay under me, you will be able to access many other new technologies, right? Wouldn’t that be more attractive than a royal road like this?”

The Damascus steel they hoped for can, in fact, be fully reproduced in a world with technology that surpasses that of modern civilization in the era in which I lived in my previous life.

But it's difficult here.

This is because there is currently no means to measure the content of each element contained in metal.

Let's just say... even here, even if I told you the secret, it would be impossible for only a craftsman of the level of the dwarves to reproduce it.

knowledge and skills.

If me and the dwarves collaborate, I can make as many metals as I like.

“What are the conditions?”

“My exclusive. I wish I could stay for 10 years.

And now, besides the pupil, hang out with our blacksmiths.”

It means to share technology.

This is why I want to bring them up.

I also tried to raise our blacksmiths somehow, but it didn't work out.

Again, it was decided that there was no choice but to let the experts come and stay and watch and learn their skills.

The best thing would be for the dwarves to continue to stay.

In a sense, you can take it as meaning to give your know-how.

However, Aken did not express his displeasure at that point.

How much Damascus steel do you want?

“But the period is difficult. 10 years is too long.”

“Then nine years.”

“Eight years.”

“Or how about six years?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“You really should stop being stubborn.”

We continued to disagree about the exclusive period. Before long, we muttered at the same time.

“Five years. No more than that.”

“Five years. It can't get any lower than that.”

coincided

We'll finally come to an agreement.

There is no need to talk more than that.

I snapped my fingers and Aken immediately rose from his seat.

“Can I not negotiate with the other dwarves?”

“Not required. I do.”

As much as that, Damascus steel means mouth-watering metal to them.

“I’ll be there in a month.”

I just said that and went somewhere.

It means that within a month, we will finish preparing to share existing requests or personnel.

There's no need to leave it as a document... there's no need.

As they left, Aken's eyes were burning hotter than any furnace in this place.

he will definitely come

With this, I was able to attract the dwarves.
