Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

Magic Ore

In this world, there are various kinds of ores being used for different kinds of purposes. Amongst those ores, there are some that are called magic ores. Ores that are actually capable of becoming a medium and conductive to mana, possessing a magical properties that are unique and applicable to be modified into a magic item or weapons.

With the very limited amount of the population that is capable of utilizing the mana inside them to produce a miracle or a forced change towards natural phenomenon, the magic ores that are capable of keeping magic were found.

They are then made into magic weapons, magic armors, and magic items. Those things quickly get popular with royalties, nobles, and wealthy people, trying to possess one and made it into their heirloom. But of course, a true magic item with decent magical ability could worth a fortune.

Not only that adjusting a magical property to an applicable scale is difficult, to actually manipulate the mana flow and apply magic circles to make a magic item produce a desirable magic is extremely difficult.

The most heard magic ores are Orichalcum, Mythril, and Magic Platinum. Unlike the other two, Magic Platinum is not as rare, but possess smaller conductivity towards magic compared to the two legendary ores.

"It's here! This is our regular smithy!" The black-haired butler uniform-wearing girl excitedly points at the rather big building that is unusual for a smithy, indicating how well business is faring for it.

After using his time leisure in the inn for exercising, reading, and lazing around, Lyan decided to went out and look for new equipment, weapons, and items needed for his journey ahead since he just got lots of cash from the goblin king subjugation reward.

At the time he asked Ravia to recommend him where he could find good things, she respond positively and enthusiastically, resulting in the other girls to hear his plans as well.

"Ah! This sword is nice! It's very light!" (Alina)

"Hm... I wonder if I should buy a wand as an emergancy medium... But a wand is rather pricy, aren't they...?" (Belle)

"Whoa... Is this a magic bow? This looks very cool!" (Xena)

The three girls from the House of Roses are following him as well. Lyan plan is to leave by tomorrow if not tonight, so it could be said that this is their last chance to spend time with him before his departure.

Since the three girls are no longer binded by the debt and had get rid off the slavery crest on their body, they are no longer an official courtesan of the House of Roses. So they are free to go with Lyan today, and the Madam sent them off with a smile.

"Poor Raine. She wanted to join but gramps took a hold of her," (Ravia)

Raine also enthusiastically mention about how she's going to look for new vials for her alchemy experiment with Belle, but Abraham told her that only one of the two sisters may go since one need to stay to tend the guests.

"Yeah... It's been a while since I saw Raine pouted and sulk to gramps," (Xena)

The girls giggled as they converse and look around, while on the other hand, Lyan's eyes are quickly but thoroughly scanning through the smithy one by one.

And finally, his eyes stopped at a certain corner. His eyes gazed at a weapon inside a dusty bucket.

(Hou... A glaive...) (Lyan)

The length of the pole is about 2 meters with about 45 centimeters of single-edged blade on its end.

"Whoa... It's quite heavy," Lyan uttered as he felt the weight on his hand as he lift the glaive in one hand.

(About 40 kilograms or so, huh...) (Lyan)

"Hou... To think that you could lift it up so easily with one hand, you have quite the powerful hand there, laddie," A rough and raspy voice sounded together with the appearance of a muscular old man with the same height as Lyan. He's wearing working apron typical for a blacksmith, a protective mask hanging on his head, and a pair of worn out gloves on his hands.

"Ah! Mr. Hammard! How are-" (Ravia)

"Spare the greetings later, Ravia-chan. Hey lad, try swinging it," The man called Hammard asked Lyan with a pair of stern but expectant eyes.

"Hm." Lyan skillfully twirl the glaive in one hand before taking a stance and swing it with both hands. The swing is strong enough to send winds to the audience, but since he didn't use any mana on it, the winds are not enough to mess the place up.

"Whoa... You got a great strength there, young lad. You must be-" (Hammard)

"Hou... Not bad, looks like I could do it one hand," (Lyan)

Right as he about to praise him, Lyan proceed to make a powerful swing with one hand. The winds sent to the surroundings are not that different from the previous swing, making Hammard to widens his eyes.

"You..." (Hammard)

"Eh? What are you doing?" Lyan asked confusedly.

It's not a question for him to be confused since a muscular old man suddenly lift his cloak, rolls his long sleeves, and observes his arm while holding his chin with one hand.

"Such a well-trained body in such a young man. The muscles are not trained to be big, but are trained to make the body solid. So you were taking account speed, eh? What do you think, laddie?" (Hammard)

"What do I think about what? Just to tell you beforehand, but I don't swing that way," Lyan slowly retract his hand.

"I'm not talking about that!" Hammard gave a slap to Lyan's back, making him feel numb for a moment.

(That hurts, old shit!) (Lyan)

"I'm talking about the glaive. Do you want it?" (Hammard)

"Oh, this, huh..." Lyan's attention return to the glaive, and he once again do some strikes and test some moves with the glaive.

Each move he made is beautiful and it could be seen that his movement is not that of a newbie. He is well-trained and well-versed in using glaives, and know what he's doing.

(He's measuring the speed of his strike, the approximate duration and fatigue of the swing, and the effectiveness of the length for his use) (Hammard)

Hammard let out a chuckle.

"Ravia-chan. You brought me quite an interesting lad here. So what do you think about that blade, lad?" (Hammard)

"The length is perfect for me, but I could actually do if it's a little bit heavier, but I doubt I could find any heavier glaive around here. It's a wonderful weapon. I believe it will be a great partner in battle," Lyan's eyes that are filled with satisfaction as he described the weapon made Hammard let out a heartful laugh.

"I actually made that for my own use, you see! But I'm not that skillful in using weapons like spears, halberds, and glaives! It's a shame since I made that using lots of precious materials. I was hoping that it would sell well, but no one could even make a decent swing with it for 10 years! How about it, lad? You can take that one for just 2 gold coins, that's a great discount since I like ya," (Hammard)

"Just 2 gold coins? But this is not just a normal glaive, isn't it?" Lyan uttered as he tried to infuse some mana to the glaive, and the blade started to change into black color.

(An adapting weapon. It's a weapon specially designed empty to make sure it will only house the wielder's mana. This guy's blacksmithing skills is not a joke for him to be capable of making this) (Hestia)

(There are no magic circles ingraved, the magical property of the glaive is made solely by the perfect tampering and skills of his smithing. I-it's very interesting...) (Sylphia)

"So you've realized. I guess you really are not a normal mercenary, aren't you? Yes, that's a magic weapon. But the scale of magic ores used are limited, I used some magic cores of some resilient magic beasts, and I added the extra weight to make it comfortable for me to use. I'm thinking of keeping the fact that it's a magic weapon a secret if you didn't realize, but as expected of the man Ravia-chan chosen. Ravia-chan! Your man will definitely become a big shot in the near future!!" Hammard enthusiastically slapped Lyan's back as he gave a broad smile to Ravia.

"M-m-m-my man!?" (Ravia)

The other girls twitches when they heard Hammard's words, but when they saw the cool Ravia got unusually flustered and showing such girly reactions, they can't help but let out an amused giggle.

"I will still sell it to you for just 2 golds. It's saddening for such a fine weapon sitting at the corner of the room without an owner. Having a proper guy to have it will do, just give me your name," (Hammard)
