Chapter 124 The Road to the North
It can be confirmed that each township is busy advancing the reclamation work around it. The traditional township concept will not be replaced by the form of today's Dedent Township soon.
Historically, large-scale changes have not been uncommon due to some kind of opportunity, but it is still very touching to actually witness it up close. Although Lelem has only talked about the benefits of all this, there will definitely be various problems in reality.
Ye Kai is mainly worried about cultural changes, but he still believes that changes in life will not change the character of the orcs.
--------------
The rivers in the southwest have many tributaries and there are almost no large rivers to be seen.
But in the north, it is felt that there are many large rivers. This is due to the heavy rainfall in this area. Although this is understandable, it is also inconvenient considering the problem of crossing the river.
It is unwise to swim across a river or brave aquatic beasts, and building a bridge can be a difficult task for orcs.
However, there are many magnificent bridges across the great rivers of the north. Not only that, but these bridges were built with earth magic, and even have some magic attached for maintenance purposes.
According to Fino, these bridges are actually ancient relics. In the past, there existed an advanced magical civilization, and they left these relics everywhere. If this bridge is such a relic, then there is no doubt about it. They were just built because they were inconvenient.
However, it is said that there are also some ruins whose purpose is unknown. In addition, there are even some that use magic that remains a mystery, such as the magic used to maintain this bridge.
These have become the subject of research for magic researchers, but there are few that can be reproduced like the magic recording devices used by the Adventurer's Guild. Therefore, researchers can only work hard to study them.
When they reached the river, the women asked to take a bath because there was a grove of trees nearby that provided good shelter.
The temperature in the north is high, and after a heavy rain, the humidity is also very high. If there are houses like in the Orc Village, the men can be kept outside to dry their bodies, but it is inconvenient when moving. They will not miss such an opportunity.
"Okay, okay, it's my turn to stand guard."
If Ye Kai is being stared at by Cham, it is time for him to go about his usual duties.
“Sorry, Chaim.”
"It doesn't matter. After all, you must be thinking of all kinds of fantasies in your mind."
Ye Kai couldn't deny it.
“Um…please don’t peek.”
"It's okay, it's okay. No matter what you say, he will never do anything that would be annoying."
Ye Kai couldn't deny it.
“Wouldn’t that be counterproductive?”
"Even so, if I tell him not to watch, he won't. It doesn't matter, just act like normal. He should find our laughter and the sound of the water pleasant."
Ye Kai couldn't deny it.
In fact, even if he peeked, Chaim would not really hate him. He knew that this conversation was like a ritual, and he was just enjoying it.
They decided to give the Senel bird a bath as well, so they began to remove their riding gear.
"Let's go. I'll leave the protection to you, Blue."
"Chirp!"
"I envy you, Purple..."
“Chirp, chirp…”
Purple felt uneasy at being looked at with envy.
“Take your time, because we are going to work and sleep here.”
"knew!"
After the lighthearted joke, she added another sentence.
--------------
After the men were forced to bathe in the river, they began to work. First they sharpened the swords of Cham and Tulio. They took out the metal pieces of the leopard armor that had been preserved.
Despite efforts to analyze the pieces of metal, the results remain ambiguous.
The main component is similar to an alloy of Ollihaluk, but it seems to be mixed with rare metals that Ye Kai has never come into contact with. However, synthesis is not easy, and the materials are also difficult to obtain. So they can only make good use of the existing materials.
Begin by laying Tulio's sword horizontally on the workbench. Since you don't want to change its weight, you must start by removing a portion of the Orichalcum blade that is currently installed. Since it is fused to the base material, you can't remove it completely, but you can roughly remove the unfused portion.
Then the armor was stretched and covered on the blade. It was fused using deformation and metamorphosis magic, and then sharpened. In this way, the blade of Tulio's sword became a triple structure of Orichalcum and armor material. Therefore, it was intentional that all materials were not completely removed.
Listening to Tulio's swing, it seemed that there was no change in feeling. However, after a slight swing, I saw the standing tree was easily split in half, and the blade should have become sharper.
The same process was then performed on Cham's sword, which became a three-layer structure with a base of mithril. Although the swing felt the same, he was able to easily split a leaf in half, demonstrating the effectiveness of this versatile sword. This sword is mainly used for pushing and cutting rather than slashing, so it is not a simple technique.
Next, I hope the girl will be happy with the sharpness of the sword.
"Then, today's protagonist is this." Ye Kai took out a piece of cloth and showed it to everyone. There was a very complicated magic circle drawn on it.
“Wow! What is this?”
“I feel like I’ve seen this before.”
Fino came over with great interest, and Cham seemed to realize something.
"I tampered with a magic circle I found in some ruins."
“The one from Datan.”
"Yes, it was originally a magic circle used to drive away monsters."
"Wow!" Fino was startled.
“How dangerous!”
"It would be dangerous if it wasn't changed. But I reversed it, which means it's a magic circle to drive away monsters."
"Fino had no idea something like this existed."
“That’s because it doesn’t exist. I designed it.”
She looked at him in surprise: "Really..."
“Not gonna lie. He’s really good at designing this.”
“But this is a great invention, isn’t it?”
“The Datan ruins have been extensively studied, so it wouldn’t be surprising if something like this turned up.”
"Oh, really..." She seemed to want to witness the moment of this great invention with her own eyes.
“If it’s a new invention, can we make a lot of money?”
“We’ve got a lot of these already. He’s not a risk-taker, he’s just here to make money, so there’s no rush to earn points.”
“That’s really troublesome.”
"Unlike that profligate son, it's better to earn your own money."
"Yes…"
Tulio suddenly felt uneasy, as if something had suddenly happened.
“No, I earned my own money too!”
Fino knew where Ye Kai's money came from, and he breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the money he was in charge of was not a large sum for him.
"Yes. If the reverse ring is sold, Fino can't imagine how much money it will make."
"That's why I said that. You can spend the money as you like. Although I feel bad eating Ye Kai's food, I don't feel any pain."
"Hey, Chaim, you talk like a bad woman."
“I just made a contribution. But it’s not a bad thing.”
"Don't say strange things, Fino."
They teased each other and the scene was filled with laughter.
"But this magic circle can't be used. Because Reed and Senel Bird are both monsters, right?"
"what!"
