Otherworld Adventure 49 Radon's Smithy, The Ironforge

Cecil and Lucia were atop Silver and heading towards their lodgings in the city. Where they were staying at was actually a smithy.

When they finally arrived at the largest smithy in the middle district, a stout dwarf came out of the smithy holding onto pliers and a huge hammer.

Upon seeing the three, the dwarf laughed and boisterously greeted the group.

"WAHAHAHA~ Hey you 3! How was the dungeon? You get anything good for me?!"

Cecil and Lucia smiled at the dwarf's greeting.

The stout dwarf who owned the largest smithy in the capital city was in fact, Mr. Argon's little brother, Radon Ironforge. Ironforge was Mr. Argon's rightful name, but he abandoned his family's name in his pursuit of love.

Cecil jumped down from Silver and caught Lucia who jumped down right after. After he put her down, he turned towards the dwarf and said.

"Hey, Radon... please don't remind me... it was nothing special AND it was boring!"

Cecil said in exasperation, then he continued.

"It was exactly how Lucia and the books described it! It was only an overly large mine!"

"WAHAHAHA! Don't look down on them now! Dungeons are a holy land for us dwarves!"

Lucia giggled on the side and Silver bypa.s.sed the smithy and walked deeper into the building complex. He was heading towards his resting spot that Radon had built for him.

"Well, we did get a good harvest, some mithril, mana crystals and some other mana ores... we also got... something special."

Cecil paused and looked around.

The smithy was the largest and most popular in the city so it was packed with people purchasing weapons, requesting jobs and what-not. Radon was the owner, but he had a whole bunch of employees and blacksmith apprentices and a.s.sistances so he was rarely busy.

He would only work on his own craft and would only take orders if the Ark's Royal family requested anything from him. He would also take some personal jobs from people who was close with too.

Seeing that the place was as jam packed as usual, Cecil leaned towards Radon's ear and whispered, "Me and Lucia found... a legend ranked ore... can we talk somewhere private?"

Radon upon hearing the word 'legend' immediately perked up. Cecil also nudged at his chest and in his hand was the adamantium wrapped in a cloth. Only a small part of the adamantium was visible, but when Radon took a glance at that small part, his eyes immediately lit up.

He took a quick urgent glance around and hurriedly led the two into his office on the top floor of the smithy's building.

When they arrived at his office, Radon quickly ushered the 2 into the room, locked the door and activated a silencing spell.

Cecil turned around and looked at Radon, with his mana sight he could see the magic crest that formed when Radon activated a spell.

After the spell was activated, the sound of metal pounding on metal and the noise of the people from the smithy quickly died down.

"Okay boy, I already activated a silencing spell. Quickly, quickly take that ore out!" Radon urgently said.

Although he only caught a small glimpse of that chrome colored ore, he saw the azure glint in it and immediately knew what that legendary ore was.

Cecil and Lucia sat himself down and Cecil placed the bundled cloth on the table. Radon quickly un-wrapped the cloth with trembling hands. When the chromatic l.u.s.ter shone out after the cloth was unbundled, Radon immediately exclaimed,

"I knew it! HAHAHAHA! Who would have thought that I, Radon Ironforge, could lay my eyes upon such a holy artifact! ADAMANTIUM! HAHAHA it's actually ADAMANTIUM!"

Radon was shouting and holding the small piece of rock with both hands in the air. He was raising the ore into the air like it was some holy artifact.

Radon gingerly placed the ore back down on the table. He turned his gaze towards the two foxkin and said seriously,

"Boy... how did you get your hands on this?"

Lucia, who had kept quiet until now, immediately spoke up.

"Silver was the one who found it! It was when we were on the 9th floor of the dungeon."

"HAH! So it was in the dungeon!! Man, the kingdom's totally goin' to be p.i.s.sed missing out on such a thing! WAHAHAHA!"

"Yeah, yeah! We don't want to turn this in to the kingdom. Please keep this a secret, Uncle Radon!" Lucia said cutely.

"BAH! Girl, you only call me 'uncle' when you want something from me!"

Lucia stuck her tongue out when her motive was exposed. Although Radon said that, he was all smiles when Lucia called him 'uncle'. He then continued.

"I figured that when you came to me with the adamantium so secretly. Don't worry even if you wanted to give this to the kingdom, I'd be the first to object for you! WAHAHAHA! So... what do you want me to forge?"

Cecil heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Radon say that. He then spoke up.

"Weapons and some other gear, I hear that from this small piece of adamantium you could forge a whole armory of weapons, no?"

"Ai, it's possible, but what are you going to do with an armory of weapons, boy?"

"No, we don't need an armory. Just some things like a sword, spear, knives and other things."

"Hrrmm? Then what about the rest of the adamantium?"

"After you finish crafting what we need, you can keep the rest... just take that as your commission and our thanks for taking care of us for all this time."

"HAH! Boy, I don't need your thanks! ... I'll craft something nice for you with the leftover adamantium."

"Uhm... okay Radon..."

"Thank you Uncle Radon!"

"HAHAH! Leave it to your Uncle, little Lucia! You too boy! This old man doesn't need any thanks! You've helped around the place for the past month! It should be this old man giving you thanks!"

Cecil smiled at Radon's response. He remembered his time during the past month since staying at the Ironforge Smithy.

Cecil and his party would always go out of their way to mine ores for the smithy when they went out to do a quest. Cecil only thought that it was fair since they've been staying at Radon's place.

A month ago they came unannounced, but Radon took them in only because of the letter Mr. Argon, his older brother, had asked Cecil and Lucia to deliver.

Cecil and Lucia were surprised when they found out that the rightful heir of the Ironforge Smithy and Clan was actually Mr. Argon, and the current heir was actually his little brother.

Lucia spoke up and asked Uncle Radon.

"Uncle Radon! Is it possible to craft a wand with that?"

"Of course, little one! In fact– "

Before Radon could continue, Cecil immediately cut him off.

"Radon! We're not crafting a wand!"

Hearing what Cecil said, Lucia immediately felt wronged and yelled,

"Hah?! CEL!!!"

"It's not like that Lulu. It's better if we create a weapon that could also act as a wand for you. You're already learning martial arts and swordsmans.h.i.+p from me so why not?"

"Eh? O-Okay..."

After explaining as such to Lucia, Cecil turned towards Radon and began asking.

"Is it possible to create a weapon that could also act as a wand for us?"

"Oh? Not just for Lucia, but also for you, boy?"

"Yeah, from my fighting style, Lucia's been copying it, but because she has to use a wand it's hard for her to use any of her martial skills in battle."

"Hrmm... with the adamantium it's possible. Unlike with a wand where you need to concentrate on channeling, the adamantium itself is already a good mana conductor so you wouldn't need to entirely focus yourself on a spell."

"Exactly, unlike me, Lucia finds it hard to multi task when using mana."

"That's because you boy, have some weird body const.i.tution! Not everyone is lucky like you to have an elemental const.i.tution!"

Cecil smiled wryly. They had to spin up a lie to cover Cecil's mana eyes.

Mana eyes were rare and having an elemental const.i.tution was the best cover up, since people that had either of those traits had strong mana control.

Except mana eyes was no longer about mana control, but literally turning mana into an extra 'limb' and there was no living person with mana eyes that past the age of 10.

Radon then asked.

"So, what is it do you want me to craft?"

"I'll make some blue prints first, and then give it to you later tonight."

"Alright, go ahead and eat now. My wife has already finished making lunch."

"Okay, Radon" "Okay, Uncle Radon!"

"I'll keep the adamantium locked up. Remember to keep this a secret from everyone else, don't tell my wife also."

Lucia and Cecil walked out of the office and started heading towards their rooms. Even in the smithy they shared a room at Lucia's insistence.

In their room, Cecil started taking off his armor and began hanging them on the armor rack on the side.

Lucia only took off her robe and placed her wand on the bedside. She turned towards Cecil and smiled.

"Good thing, Uncle Radon was able to craft the adamantium for us!"

"Keep your voice down Lulu, remember 'that' has to stay a secret. If someone found out, then not only us, but even Radon will get into trouble!"

Lucia stuck her tongue out and knocked her head.

"Oops~"

Cecil face-palmed, after he settled his equipment he went towards the door with Lucia.

"Anyway, let's go eat now. I'm starving!"

"Haiyo~"
