Chapter 34 forge

After that, he used his divine sense to give a mental command to close the lid of the furnace.

Concentrating his mind on the oven, Theo began to manifest his golden flames to warm the furnace.

To Theo's surprise, his golden flames melted the iron inside the bronze cauldron quickly. He then controlled his flames to become weaker and connected his divine sense with the cauldron and began to mould the iron inside the cauldron.

At first, Theo was a little concerned that his flames were so strong that they would melt the cauldron in the process, but his worries were in vain because to form this bronze ranked cauldron, it needed more than 100 kilos of iron to form and was formed from the essence of iron, with almost no impurities found in it. So for him to be able to damage the cauldron, it wouldn't be so easy. Perhaps because the cauldron was now part of his body, the golden flames couldn't affect it.

Theo was quite surprised that, even though he put 5 kilograms of iron into the furnace with the intention to make a sword, many impurities came out from the iron and the amount of liquid iron left inside the furnace was only enough to form a dagger, but that did not disappoint Theo. Quite the contrary, he knew that the more impurities came out of the iron, the stronger the forged item. So he decided to forge a little dagger first to test it.

Moulding the liquid iron mass, Theo began to make it take the form of a dagger with his divine sense. He made it take the appearance of a simple dagger he remembered seeing in his past life.

Something flickered in Theo's eyes after he finished forging the dagger.

Opening the furnace's lid, Theo saw a silver dagger inside. Making it float with his divine sense, the dagger floated in front of him.

Looking at the dagger in front of him, Theo could see it's information.

[Rank 1] - [Iron Dagger] - [Quality: Average]

"Aee! I have successfully forged the dagger!" Theo exclaimed excitedly.

"Well, I need to increase my forge mastery to be able to forge something of rank 2..." Theo thought.

Seeing that the girls, Yuki and Shina were still cultivating, Theo decided to continue forging to improve his forge mastery.

Since he wanted to improve his forging first, Theo thought that it was better to forge with iron at the moment, since it's cost is less than if he were to buy silver or gold.

Buying more iron, Theo continued to forge.

"I was able to forge 15 swords of rank 1 and medium quality, and a quality rank 1 of high quality" Theo then thought: "Although it was my first time forging, there was not even a low-quality weapon. Is this because of my flames?! Hm… might be that."

Theo sighed and felt tired. Seeing the forged weapons by himself in front of him, he was satisfied with forging. "I'll try to forge a rank 2 weapon later." Even if it had been some time since he started forging, Yuki and Shina continued to cultivate.

Theo then left the [Dimensional Room]. Seeing that it was still raining outside, he walked toward the stove and began to prepare their lunch.

It wasn't long before the food was ready, so Theo entered the [Dimensional Room] again to call Shina and Yuki to eat.

"Oh! You finished cultivating. Let's go back? I've already prepared lunch for us." Theo said when Shina and Yuki had finished cultivating.

"Uh huh!" Yuki said, "I got a breakthrough in cultivation!" She said looking at Theo happily.

"Seriously?! I'm happy for you Yuki!" Theo said going towards Yuki and began rubbing his face in hers, mimicking the way she does to show his affection.

A bit surprised, but at the same time very happy, Yuki began to wag her tails and move his fox ears very fast.

After showing their affection for one another, the 3 left the [Dimensional Room] and went towards the stove, served their dishes and began to eat.

"I learned a forging technique and start forging," Theo said after they had finished their lunch.

Shina's eyes brightened instantly as she heard this. She was from a sect, and even there it was difficult to get a good weapon because they were very expensive. Even rank 1 weapons were not easily obtained by those who didn't have money and resources.

She was a poor person, so she didn't have a weapon with her. At first, she intended to buy one when she got money from the sect's missions, but with everything that ended up happening, she forgot that she wanted to buy a good weapon.

Yuki did not think about it much, just glad that Theo could learn something that would increase his strength. "Great!" She said with her bright red eyes.

"Yes, forging is something very valued in the sects and cities." Shina also expressed her opinion.

"Hm. When I improve my forge I'll make weapons for the 3 of us." Theo said and smiled gently.

"Thank you!" Shina and Yuki said happily.

"Haha. You do not have to thank me yet." Theo laughed and said, "Well, it's still raining… so I don't plan on hunting today. I'm going to use the forge."

"Good luck, Theo!" Yuki said encouragingly.

"Good luck," Shina said.

"Haha. Thank you!" Theo smiled and went to a corner of the hall and took the furnace out of his body.

Seeing that Yuki and Shina were talking to each other, Theo bought more iron from [System Store] and started forging again.

After a good time of forging, his chances of making weapons of high quality increased significantly. He even managed to forge a Katana with excellent quality.

"Okay, I'll get some rest and try to forge a rank 2 weapon," Theo said as he rested.
