The atmosphere in the smith was depressing. The orcs were disappointed and their sighing was a pretty obvious indicator.
"Hey, pay attention all of you" Ed said to the disgruntled orcs. They looked up once Ed said this, however, and they perked up once they noticed his intention.
"I'll be teaching you all a couple of things" With the level up to craftsmanship, Ed's expertise had risen. He didn't dare say it did so by a significant amount but he felt it was enough to help the orcs get a better understanding of the basics.
First thing was selecting the material. Ed went over the pros and cons of common materials and left the orcs utterly stumped. They only had orc iron!
"I'll leave reserves of these materials in the smithy occasionally. If you need any however, Shel you can talk to me or if I'm not present, to Sharog" Ed added surprising all of them. They could use those metals?
