Alloy method with apoitikara 

 

「I've never heard of apoitikara ......? Is it any different than, Mithril? 」

 

Helen nods her head with uncertainty.

 

「oh! It's a special mineral from the north, but it doesn't come around very often. No wonder we didn't know.」

 

It seems that a mercenary with a history of warfare would have some knowledge of minerals ...... or materials, but don't know about Apoitikara?

 

Well, the northern mineral would be baboonite(TN: might be babbitt can’t be sure) .

 

「Light and strong. I'm not sure how it compares to orichalcum or adamantium. Let’s just use one part it may be it’s not surprisingly different.」

 

「That still changes things, doesn't it?」

 

「I guess so. The hardness and shape may be the same but there’s big difference」

 

「What's the biggest difference?」

 

「Glowing.」

 

「What about?」

 

「Apoitikara glows blue.」

 

「Is that so?」

 

「It doesn't seem to make much sense.」

 

Apparently, it is effective against ghost-type demons (cheat skill mention this), but it is unlikely that we will encounter them and it would be rare for it to be more than a decorative item. {TN: it’s not a ghost flag don’t worry}

 

「So I'm going to make it, just give me a little more time.」

 

「Oh! that's fine, but ......」

 

「But what's wrong?」

 

「Is that right, it's expensive?」

 

「It's something I give to my family, and half of it is kind of my hobby. Don't worry about it.」

 

「If that's what you say. okay 」

 

Can you at least guess that the minerals are expensive, which I have never heard of? I don't know if you think I'll do two gold coins (I paid for one) for what we have.

 

「Yeah, speaking of family.」

 

I offer Helen the knife I made yesterday and left at the blacksmith's shop.

 

「It’s the same.」

 

「Are you sure?」

 

「Everyone in my family has one except krull.」

 

When I said that, they all took knives from their pockets and showed them to me. The picture of four people taking out knives all at once might be a little scary to the average person.

Nevertheless, it’s an item of proof that, it is our family.

Then Helen knelt down in front of me. It is like a knight knighted.

 

 

「Thank you very much.」

 

「Oh, oh ......」

 

I was more than stunned. Helen grinned and reverently accepted the knife I offered.

 

「I've had audiences with the big guys, too. Surprising, isn't it?」

 

「I'm beyond surprised.」

 

 

I replied to Helen with a surprised look on my face. Part of my surprise was pure surprise, but part of it was wondering if she might be aware of her birth.

I looked at the situation and it seems unlikely, but I can't talk about the reason over here, so I laugh and cover it up.

 

「Don't surprise me too much. It would shorten my lifespan.」

 

「That's a loss to the world master and we need you to make as many as you can!」

 

RIKU said this aloud, and the area filled with smiles. I feel like this family can handle anything that comes their way.

I had no proof, but I rather thought so.

 

Two kashiwade (TN:prayer claps/Hakushu) and gently lift the Apoitikara from the altar.

 

As expected, it is quite light for its size. If we were going to use it all, I would throw it into the furnace since we are only breaking it up, put it in the firebox to heat it up once.

 

Eventually, the temperature rises to the processing point and make a cut it using a chisel.

Then place it on the anvil and hammer it to folds over at the break. I hit it with a lot of force, but it does not bend easily.

 

After spending a considerable amount of time bending it, I managed to bend it on the opposite side and repeated the process, breaking off the proper amount of material and cutting it out with difficulty. I leave the senses in this area to cheat skill.

 

However, just cutting them out with a chisel is quite a painstaking process. If the difficulty of cutting iron is 1, Apoitikara seems to have about 10. An ordinary blacksmith would not be able to get his hands on it.

 

The low production volume is probably one reason, but the difficulty in processing is probably another reason why it is not widely available to the public.

 

In the end, the day ended with a cut-out.

In addition, just before going to bed that day

 

「Why didn't we just melt it down in the furnace, divide it into the necessary quantities, and let it harden?」

 

I realized that this was not the case, but that is another story.
