Time Skip

You know, I never thought Lucina would be such a slave driver when she taught me how to be a swordsmith. She teaches me how to maintain the fire without using my magic as she wants me to know the basics first before trying to use magic to maintain the heat. She also taught me how to shape the sword using the hammer and make the sword sharp.

We have been doing this for two months in the real world and three years in the pocket dimension. When Lucina said that we need a long time for me to create a decent sword in the eye of a dwarf is true.

The winter is already over, and spring is coming.

She can see even a tiny bit of fault in my work with just a glance. When that happens, I need to work from the very beginning to make another sword. It took me five months to create a 'simple' long sword.

Simple to the dwarf, yes but to humans? It was a masterpiece. This sword can cut even a boulder as a hot knife cut through butter. While the sword has a look of your average looking double edge long sword, this sword is something else entirely.

After creating that sword, Lucina teaches how to create a special sword. She teaches me how to create a sword that will be responsive to magic or physical energy. Physical Energy and Magic are two different things.

All living beings in Gaia have energy inside their body, and even a monster has energy inside their body. That energy is called Magical Energy and Physical Energy. There is another energy called the chaotic energy used by the monster.

Magicians are the people that have Magical Energy inside their bodies. This Magical energy is the energy that lets people cast spells. Not only cast spells, but this energy also can enchant the user's physical capabilities to a certain extent.

Physical energy is the energy used by the soldier, adventurer, and any physical fighter. This energy lets the user do an extraordinary thing like jump fifty meters above the ground or create a massive crater when he/she punches the ground. This energy also lets them create what magicians do on an elementary level, like cast a small fireball.

While every living being has energy inside their body, the maximum capacity of said person is limited. Only a selected individual can have a massive potential to grow their energy reserve to a higher degree.

No record says a person that has two massive types of energy inside their body. Usually, when someone is mature enough, their dominant energy will suppress the other energy making them only able to use one type of energy. The dormant energy did not disappear. However, it is still there, but you cannot use it.

After I reincarnated in this world, my energy switched from Physical Energy to Magical Energy.

Anyway, The next thing Lucina taught me is how to create an artifact. An artifact is an item that needs one or both energy to be activated. Usually, an artifact is a weapon or armor, but sometimes it can be in the form of a ring that can store any item you want or a necklace that protects the wearer from any harm.

This stage took me at least two years—one year to create the artifact and one more year to learn how to enchant the artifact.

Enchantment is divided into two types. The general enchantment and specialize enchantment. The example of a general enchantment is Unbreaking and Sharpness if we go by a Minecraft term. Unbreaking is an enchantment that makes an item really hard to break, it still can be broken, but it is tough to do it. Sharpness is like its name, and it makes the sword sharper than before.

The specialized enchantment is the type of enchantment that a high-rank blacksmith can only be done or a high-rank magician. However, there is an exception to the dwarf as their affinity to crafting is so great that they can do it when they reach the age of ten.

An example of a specialized enchantment is Fire Aspect or Smite if we go by a Minecraft term. Fire Aspect lets the sword burn down the enemy if the sword hits the enemy. Smite enchantment lets the sword deal more damage to undead and nonliving beings like ghosts or vampires.

Besides training my swordcraft, Lucina and I also train our bodies by hunting the monster around the area. In our free time, we play games or cook together. Lucina already knows how to use all the electronics I had inside the mansion in our time here.

However, because she is focusing on my swordcraft training, Lucina and I decide not to go to the other world just yet.

Anyway, we get ourselves a little more powerful physically and magically (for me). Lucina says that her Physical Energy also grows in size. She says that her Physical Energy reserve is quite big as she is a dwarf, and not only that, the MacGrath family, also known as the family with a massive Physical Energy reserve.

"Isaac"

I snap from my thoughts when I hear Lucina's voice from my side.

"What is it, Lucina?"

"A guest is asking for an audience."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"He is called Tuama. The guard says that he is coming from the Holy Light Empire."

"Holy Light Empire, huh? Tell him to meet me in the meeting room. Will you stay with me?"

"Eh? Are you sure?"

"Yeah. You are my wife. I will listen to your advice and your suggestions in this meeting."

"I… Thank you…. I will not disappoint you."

I frown a little when I hear saying that. This world was still at a time where women did not hold much power compared to men. There are a few exceptions, but the majority of the noble in this world are men.

The job of a woman is to give the lord an heir. The more, the better. They can become more than a breed mate, but most of them are to become a breed mate to the lord.

The majority of Noble Lord did not let his wife attend any meeting that said lord would attend, especially an important meeting. The reason is that the lord is afraid that his wife will leak any important information in his wife's tea party.

When I see Lucina walk away from my office, I walk away from my office toward the meeting room. As I walk toward the meeting room, I order one of the servants who I meet on the way to the meeting room to serve some tea for us.

I sit down in the meeting room, where I wait for my guest to arrive. A minute later, the meeting room door opens up, and I can see Lucina and three people walking inside the room.

"Welcome to the Sea Dragon City. My name is Isaac Lionheart, the Count of Sea Dragon Point."

The man wearing an expensive white robe bowed a little at me before introducing himself.

"My name is Tuama Conaire. I'm a merchant from the Holy Light Empire. These two are my guard, Iva, and Matz."

I nod at them while my wife walks toward me and sits down next to me.

"Please take a seat. I already ordered some servants to serve you some tea."

"Thank you."

After hearing my word, Tuama sat down on the chair opposite of me while his guard stood behind him. Seeing him sit down on the chair, I decide not to beat around the bush.

"So, let us get straight to business. What do you want?"

When I say that, I can see Tuaman's eyebrow twitching a little, but his polite smile still on his face.

"We come here to offer a trade agreement."

"Oh? What kind of trade does the Holy Light Empire want to do with us?"

"We are not the representatives of the Holy Light Empire. We are the representative of Duke Cailin Conaill."

"Heh, same difference."

Tuaman eyebrows begin to twitch more, and his smile begins to drop, but he keeps his polite smile.

"So, what kind of trade do you want to do with us?"

"Ah! We have the list of items we want to trade from you and also the price we promise to give you."

I take the scroll and begin to read it. After reading it for a few seconds, I look at the man in front of me and say.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"
