Chapter 30: Village Smithy Built..

I followed Uncle Deron towards the place he had designated for the Village smithy with confident steps while other members of my territory followed us with eyes filled with curiosity.

"Is this area to your liking?" I turned over to Deron. (He only calls Uncle when talking with Deron to maintain his loyalty... LEL)

<Hmm... I don't have any specific requirements regarding the area it is built on. But having somewhere away from other buildings fits my taste.> He nodded to me looking at the area he had chosen for the smithy.

"Then, Shall we start with the main act,?" I said before bringing up the system to build the Village smithy.

•[ Village Smithy: Place where the warriors can create the equipment needed for them. The smithy can only produce tier-1 (grey) items for now.]

•[ Establishment requirement: 1500 SF points ]

[Build requirements of 1500 SF points met.]

[Would you like to build the Village Smity In the Designated area?]

[Yes/No]

Looking at the message that had popped up in front of me I definitely was happy and excited as this was going to be the first time for anyone to see me creating something out of thin air within my territory.

" What about that Nightmare Hound lair you say.?"

It was something I built using the Lair Crystal that everyone here knew as someone from my territory.

" Uncle Deron, Shall we start with the main performance with your permission?" I bowed towards Deron in proper etiquette just like Lilith and others bow towards me with a wide grin still plastered over my face.

"I was smelling an increase in Loyalty from DERON to make me grin."(bastard MC)

<Hoho... You may do the job> He nodded at me with an amused expression.

Then Let's start, I once again brought the notification panel in front of me.

•[ Village Smithy: Place where the warriors can create the equipment needed for them. The smithy can only produce Tier-1(grey) items for now.]

•[ Establishment requirement: 1500 SF points ]

[Build requirements of 1500 SF points met.]

[Would you like to build the Village Smity In the Designated area]

[Yes/No]

" For the territory."

I clicked on yes in the panel before backing from where I was standing.

WOOSH,

The Spatial Flare all over my territory converged within the area that I had selected before solidifying into a squarish cocoon around one story tall.

The cocoon enveloped the area for some time before slowly dissipating into the Territory as if the cocoon wasn't there in the first place. There wasn't extreme fluctuation of SF like in previous times but I was still amazed by the process of creating a one-storey tall smithy out of nothing.

<Hoho... You are a pretty amusing young lad, Did you just utilize Space magic to bring the smithy from somewhere?> He was staring at me with bright eyes while combing his beard with bulky hands.

(Beep... Deron is happy with you for building a smithy where he can create equipment as per his needs. His loyalty increased by 5. Keep up and try to increase his loyalty to 100 for obtaining a skill from him.!!)

" Hehe... I was right in my perception regarding him." He definitely was easy to increase the loyalty with small actions that impressed him.

•[ Race: Dwarve]

•[ Gender: Male ]

•[ Profession: Blacksmith]

•[Attribute: Metal, fire]

•[Strength: Peak of Tier-2]

•[Potential: Tier-2( limited due to lord's potential)]

•[Loyalty: 80]

•[ Skills: Mining, Metallurgy]

His loyalty, it had already reached 80, just shy of other warriors in my territory by 5 points. I believe I could be able to max out his loyalty without doing anything extreme with activities that impressed him in the future.

Now for the Village Smithy that had been built in my territory.

[ Village Smithy(Tier-1): Place where the warriors can create the equipment needed for them. The smithy can only produce tier-1 (grey) items for now. Lord can appoint a blacksmith as the keeper of the Smithy with one person as their assistant.]

[Smithy is equipped with Tier-1 Blacksmithing tools for effective and efficient blacksmithing. Upgrade the Smithy for advanced tools.]

[Smithy is equipped with Spatial flame that can burn for an infinite duration with the help of Spatial Flare in the environment. Can melt any materials under tier-2. Upgrade the Smithy for advanced Spatial flame.]

[Upgrade requirement: Tier-2 Lord, one tier-2 Flare crystal, and 10,000 SF points]

The building itself wasn't anything special with the word "SMITHY" and a hammer with flame engraved on it, plastered over its entrance in bold letters. The entrance itself was made up of some kind of metal that was already covered in rust. It also looked like something that had been aiding the blacksmiths in creating several pieces of equipment from time immemorial.

But, the inside was amazing with Blacksmithing tools like Anvil, Hammer, Chisels, etc properly placed over the Forging Bench.

The Spatial Flame was also quietly burning in the furnace, it didn't look like something that could even burn paper if it came in contact but, it was capable enough to melt any tier-1 materials in the vast space as per the information from the system.

" What do you think about the Smithy Uncle Deron.?" I asked Deron who was nearly salivating while looking at the tools in the Smithy.

<Hoho... You sure are incredible. Every Tool in the Smithy is at peak of tier-1. Oh, And flame used furnace also powerful enough to melt any tier-1 materials by itself.> He appeared quite amazed looking at the Spatial flame sitting quietly in the furnace.

" Are you satisfied with the Smithy, Uncle Deron?" I had to ask him looking at his amazed face. I was actually proud looking at the smithy I had built using the system. The sense of pride doubled in my heart as I looked at Deron with an amazed expression plastered on his face while checking the stats of every tool within the smithy.

<Haha, You have got some surprising ability for being a weak lord, Young lad. This smithy is perfect me to loosen my muscles slowly before returning peak as blacksmith.> He smiled at me while caressing the tools on the forging bench and looking at the spatial flame from time to time.

" Haha, It's great that you are satisfied with the Smithy I was able to build for you. Do you think you could handle the responsibility of managing this Smithy all by yourself?" This was an important question I needed to ask him before doing anything for today as it would determine the usability of the smithy in the near future.

If he was ready to manage the smithy with some assistance, It would be best otherwise I would have to wait till I was able to recruit another Daemon who had attributes related to blacksmithing but wasn't special like him in the near future.

<Hmm.... Do I get to work without any disturbances or restrictions if manage the smithy?>

Yes, This smithy will be fully under your control with no questions asked.

<Then, I don't need to think anything. OK, will manage the smithy from now on and help you in creating equipment if provided with necessary materials future.> He nodded without wasting any time before once again focusing on the tools in front of him.

"Thank you, Uncle Deron." I was only able to thank him wholeheartedly as I wasn't able to think of anything other to tell him than thanking him with my heart. 

<No need for that young lad. Just focus on managing the territory and let this old man deal with arming your troops from head to toe in near future.> He only smiled while helping me straighten my back with his strong hands before once again focusing on the tools in front of him.

< Don't you have any other work in the territory?> He asked me without turning back.

" Haha, I have Uncle Deron. Let me know if you need anything in the smithy. And Once again, Thank you for managing the Smithy all by yourself Uncle." I politely bowed towards him before moving out of the Smithy leaving him alone with the tools there.

(Beep... Deron is happy with you. His loyalty increased by 10. )

This message deepened the smile I had on my face even more.
