Master Of None

Chapter 683 - 683. Core Cooling

"So we will need the fire elemental spirit to help again? How will you spirit forge when the core is mostly done?" Walker wasn't sure what the process would be once the core had cooled. He thought that the fire would be needed to forge but not that the core would be cooled already.Â

"We need to add the elements mana crystals and shape the core properly. As it is now there are some rough surfaces that will hinder the runes we carve." This made more sense with the elders' explanation. If they needed to inlay the for elemental crystals in to the metal it would make more sense. They would need to carve and push the crystals in to place using multiple tools and a lot of mana.Â

"Also, when we say cool we mean holding its shape cool. But soft enough to mold and manipulate still." Grey realized that the elder had left some things to assume and that Walker would be better off with more specific information since he was absorbing everything he heard.

"Oh, I see. But would it be better if you could cool it faster and then work on it?" Walker was wondering if the cooling was important to the process or if it was just something they were forced to wait on.Â

"Actually, if it was cooled faster it would be better. The more mana that it retains while cooling the better. But if we add heated oil or water to it to cool it then we would warp the metal with uneven cooling." This worry was one that any blacksmith had and Walker understood well. If the item warped then it could be seen as a failure due to the weaknesses it would have.Â

"I think I can help with that." Remey walked in to the room and stood in front of the mold. "I was teaching the alchemists how to make my basic potion and decided that the older one could join me in the alchemy guild when I received a quest to rush here and help with a bow. Now you are making some round ball and can't even cool it properly."Â

Remey had a skill that would allow her to cool the potion she was making. However, it was a skill that cooled the item she was directing the skill at. It would pull the heat out of it without directly removing elemental mana. It was a skill intended for potions but easily could be used in other situations.Â

Remey held out her hands and began to use her mana on the skill. The room was instantly pushed down in temperature. Midnight shot her head up to find that it was Remey that was making it colder and held her growl back. If it had been someone else she would have been annoyed because she was enjoying the heat that Walker and the fire spirit had made.Â

The group watched as the mold cooled and the elder kept an eye on it. He was sure that this was some form of perfect cooling that they had not ever had before. "This is an alchemy skill? Why don't our alchemists use this in the forges? They would be much more useful." The elder wanted to force the alchemists to the forges immediately but was stopped by Walkers' words.Â

"This skill is for cooling cauldrons usually. Remey is just applying it here but I recommend you let the alchemists continue to be alchemists. They might not all have the same skills as Remey and they will most likely become part of the alchemy guild when it forms. I would recommend when that happens you put in a request to work with the guild." Walker wanted to help Remey with the future bonds the guild would need to work efficiently.Â

"Alchemy guild? Why would anyone need that?" The elder was used to the fact that there were different medical systems that didn't put weight on potions here in the dwarf city.Â

"There is way more use to potions outside the city. It is a difference in culture, yes, but one that puts alchemy above medical practices when it comes to healing. I believe that the two could come together but in the end, that would mean the dwarves need to work with the other races more." Su heard the conversation and chimed in.Â

"Alright stop!" Grey yelled for Remey to stop cooling the mold and jumped to start opening it. He soon revealed a rough orb of reflective silver metal that looked to be burning in flames constantly even without being directly next to them. The small dots of flint stone in the metal made it appear rough if looking from an angle which was what Grey would need to smooth out.Â

"Watch this. I will show off a little." Grey was already pulling some tools to smooth the surface out. "I will pass this on to you master in just a moment." Grey was fast and precise to remove the larger pieces of additional metal as the elder sat down in front of his working space. He had multiple tools at the ready and the first spirit hovered around him.Â

"It looks like everyone is ready. Remey, just in case. Do you have some mana potions with you?" Walker knew that greeting Remey and asking what she would be doing would come later. At the moment they were busy and needed to focus on the task at hand.Â

"Of course I do. Who do you think I am. I am always ready." Remey pulled a few low tier mana potions from her bag and placed them on the work table. She didn't want to use the high tier ones just yet since she wanted to reserve them for Gil's quest.Â

"Alright, I smoother the core and it's ready for the spirit forging process." Grey handed the smoothed and even more reflective orb to the elder. The fire spirit was already pulling more elemental mana towards them for the elder.Â
