Exoskeleton

- You mean Veda, using other people as a source?!

- Yes, but I need to conduct a couple of tests to make sure of this possibility, but for this case... how should I say it ... we need…

With a calm expression on her face, Annie interrupted her nephew and asked, but Ernes saw that there were complex emotions deep in her eyes.

- Experimental subjects are needed, yes. Okay, but do you want to do these tests yourself?

- That's right, unfortunately I can't get rashu out of the body, so for now I wanted to postpone these tests until the time when I can do it.

- Okay, I will order the most dedicated masters to start research in this direction and as soon as you reach the ability to remove rashu from the body, you will personally take part.

- Aunt, will you be able to inform me about the progress of the study? Suddenly I will have new ideas.

- ...Okay. Don't tell anyone but me about what you just said here, got it. After receiving a nod from Ernes, Annie's face relaxed a little, but still remained serious. - Let's close this topic and move on to why we came here.

Turning away and walking to one of the many devices. Which looked like a square capsule, similar to a smaller copy of the apparatus Ernes had seen earlier, controlled by a novice master rashu. There was a bulging panel in the capsule, on which the control panel was apparently located, and a little away from the console, there were recesses for closing the hole.

Approaching this device, Annie put her palm to the panel and activated it. The closed holes opened and a cord similar to the one to which the novice master rashu was connected came out of them. At the same time, the frame of a strange, upper exoskeleton moved out of another hole.

It was worn on the shoulders and had a flexible manual mechanism that allows you to move your hand freely. The brushes were dressed in gloves made of thin leather material that accurately conveyed the feeling.

Annie called Ernes over, helped to dress him and secure him properly. The exoskeleton itself adjusted to the size of the user and moving his hands, Ernes concluded that this design is a conventional energy transmitter. The exoskeleton was built into the training suit as if molded and connected to the jewel on the back of the suit.

After that, Annie turned Ernes's back to her and took the cord, connected it to the coat of arms of Vern. Ernes immediately participated as someone else's rashu began to pass through the exoskeleton. This rashu was different from the one he had seen before and had a trace of someone's "will" in it. Ernes assumed that it was the rashu of the masters.

He had long assumed that the very change of the rashu to the treatment and workshop was simply the influence of the user's soul, but now he was one hundred percent convinced of this. For example, a person who has been trying to create an object for a long time, under the influence of the soul on rashu, will begin to give energy the necessary effect to perform this task. Thus, without noticing it, this so-called "will" begins to seep into rashu.

Meanwhile, while Ernes was trying to study the masters' rashu as much as possible, Annie finished connecting. Having walked around her nephew and stood in front of him, she noticed how he was looking at his palm in thought, and began to speak.

- Since you can't take rashu out of your body, you don't have the ability to create items. Therefore, we will have to use this item to rashu. He will pass the masters to rashu through this exoskeleton so that you can start creating initial items. For now, that should be enough for you.

Walking over to the table where the bag of ingredients was lying, Annie opened it and took out two items from it. One of them was a light gray metal ingot, the other ingredient, apparently, was a fragment of the spine of an unknown creature. The bone was yellowish in color and had the size of one and a half palms of an adult.

- This is ordinary refined iron, which is mostly used by ordinary people. We will start training with it, since it is easier to process than other metals that were developed for users of rashu, for example, ernial, from which most rashu items are now being created. As for this vertebra, it belongs to the devourer. This is his true bone, not the one he grew himself. So it is an excellent model for creating the first items.

- Thank you Aunt, can I try to create the first item myself?

Looking at her nephew's expectant face, Annie barely lifted the corners of her lips. Going to one of the many ovens that was small in size, she put the ingredients on the table next to her.

- Okay, you can start if you don't understand something, you can ask me.

Moving to the opposite end of the room, Annie began to observe the actions of her nephew. Ernes, meanwhile, went to the oven and began to inspect the ingredients.

The bone was heavy and had a smooth surface without gaps, it was clear that it belonged to a powerful monster. In the books read by Ernes, it was said that the bones of the eaters are solid and do not have a cavity in them. But at the same time they remain strong and not brittle. As for the metal, it was ordinary iron, but purified with the help of rashu items from all possible impurities. This purification is carried out with the help of rashu masters, giving the gland greater energy conductivity.

After finishing the inspection, Ernes took the metal and put it in the hole of the furnace. Closing it and putting his palm to the panel, he activated the exoskeleton with a lever and directed the masters to rashu. Holding a vertebra in his other hand, Ernes walked through the workshop and approached a previously seen table that looked like a jeweler's table.

In fact, it wasn't far from its purpose, this table was intended for processing small ingredients, as well as creating small rashu items.

Placing the bone on the table and holding it with his left hand, Ernes took an oblong thin cutter and directed the masters' rashu into it and the vertebra. Slowly, he began to shape the bones into an oblong handle, turning into a regular roundish guard. An hour later, the basic form was created and putting down the handle, Ernes went to the furnace.

Going around it from the other side, he saw a pointed hole, under which there was a place for the mold in the butt. Many different shapes were installed on the furnace, they were of different lengths and widths square with a hole on one side. These forms had a standard of Verna for each type of weapon. The metal just had to be poured inside them and get a blade ready for further processing.

Since this was the first time Ernes created a weapon, Annie decided that it was too early to give him the opportunity to create a blade himself. Therefore, I put the object to this furnace, which was intended to create standard blades.
