Suede Shoes

In two days, the tannery's rough structure was complete. Rino thanked the cement mixture powder for filling in the gaps between stone bricks in his soaking tanks. He also used runes to resolve the water filling and draining issues. It might not be the smartest use of mana, but it was what Rino was accustomed to.

His snake lady skin was already soaking in the salt bath, and Rino fashioned a hasty lid out of a stone slab. The spectres were busy building his storage house, and Rino busied himself creating the details of the mana web array, expanding from the main web so that it would reach the edges of his town's territory. He could not deal with an attack from monsters during his town-building phase, and Rino felt he would be low on mana for a while teleporting between Cypress County and his unbuilt town. A basic defence barrier will do a lot of wonders.

Four days later, Rino looked at the beautiful black leather made from the snake lady's skin.
