Chapter 1974 1974. The Right Forging Technique

The events that the slimes caused were well known. The dwarves had celebrated and begun to rebuild. But when this man had learned of the hero\'s goal to have a safe place for all races, he began his journey to the human kingdom city of Diamond. 

The results were clear. He had managed to be one of the first dwarves here in Genesis. Naturally, he established a forge to help those working repair their tools. He became well known for teaching others to maintain their tools and also how to build them. 

From that point on, he had a place helping those wanting to make a real crafting guild. Then it was an easy ask when an instructor position opened up. While he had proven himself as a very good blacksmith, he had gained a pretty damn appropriate title that went along with it. 

"No? Then you will now. Using a little of my authority as guide of apprentice blacksmiths, I have given us the full day to learn and experiment in this outdoor forge with the hero Gil and the hero Onyx. what? Did you only think one of them would come to speak to me?" The instructor looked proud to show off his title. 

He had become the guide of apprentice blacksmiths and the world had handed him this title. He was never expecting to be a master or some amazing blacksmith. But that was all because he had a system that pretty much said that. 

However, his own efforts gave him the chance to teach others. Even when it cost him his hard earned gold and time, he had kept teaching. That was where the title had come from. Hard work and the will to help the young. It made a lot of sense to Gil and Onyx who had found him on their way to bother as many people in the crafting guild for help as possible. 

"Today, these two will assist you in experimenting a little. I know that there are some of you attempting the forest forging techniques that have recently been improved. Others may be using the titans hammer techniques, and then even a few using the solid ice method. They are all welcome today as long as you to make the right precautions." The instructor had said this for the benefit of Gil and Onyx, but it was also to give the students a warning. 

These were apprentices. The youngest members of the crafting guild wish to improve their skills. Since they were young, they had a natural disposition to get in trouble. How else would they just be kids after all? But Gil was here for another reason. 

"I think we will find some interesting techniques here. I already want to meet the elves that are using the forest forging technique. I heard that it can make wood bend and mold just like metal." 

"If you want to check that, then head to the back where the trees are, they were planted for that training." the instructor pointed it out and Gil moved along with onyx carefully glancing around. 

The drama of having two of the most famous people in the city ended quickly. Having free reign to send the entire day forging without lessons or demonstrations was rare. The younger a blacksmith, the more they had to work to learn. But taking the time to experiment twas rare. Just because there was too much to learn about materials. Memorizing such things was of the utmost importance for a blacksmith!

The three elves wiring on their techniques were surprising not even touching a hammer. They instead, had stones with tree roots and vines wrapped around them. But runes covered them aligned with other manas which had come from the elves themselves. 

Since they heard Gil was here, they wanted to show their best. This was the man that had constantly helped the elven race unite and even put himself forward as a pillar of them bringing back high elven techniques. Naturally they would want to impress him even more for that. Regardless of him engaging with their literal future elf queen!

"So the forest forging method is simply using mana and natural items to create tools needed to enhance and alter natural items. The hammer controls the flow of manas within the tree causing it to be shaped like a forge and blacksmith world metal." Onyx spoke out loud but also had an eye focused on his very clearly. 

"It is perfect to make the ring shape, but it would just be a ring shape and nothing more. The technique is good, but it\'s not all I need. There should be a more human aspect in this." When Gil said this, he and Onyx watched a sudden whisper spread through all the nearby apprentice blacksmiths. They shared this little gossip quickly. They all now knew he was looking to forge a ring. It was easy to guess who for. 

There was a moment where a few started to forge harder and caused some things to break. It was embarrassing, but losing focus would do that to them. They had to learn some how, better here where people were ready to help them or heal them when the worst happened. 

"What about the demi-human there? Three of them look to have learned the wild forging technique. It takes four or fine people, but it is very close to the beastial nature you might want to capture in a ring." Onyx noticed this unique forgoing method. The demi-humans had basic forging, but also their own unique methods as every race did. 

The three demi-humans were wildly punting on a heated metal ingot at odd angles. Their methods balanced one another\'s strikes while the small blade took shape. However, the errors were evident. The three were unbalanced and the blade slowly curved and showed cracked while they worked. It only took another ten minutes to crack in half leaving a broken piece of metal only partially shaped. 

"This might be harder than I thought. We need to find people to bring their techniques together and create the most unique ring with the nature of elven tradition and human influence. That\'s the only way-" Gil felt something bump in to his leg. He was surprised to be suddenly interrupted by a small demon girl\' 

"And who are you little one? Are you also a blacksmith in training here?" Onyx spoke before Gil and the little girl nodded. What the tow did not realize until they looked closer, was that this was not just a demon girl. A half demon half dwarf girl. 

They recalled some of the demons managing to flee to outer villages but having trouble finding homes. This was before everything had happened with the heroes rising. These people had found homes far from the demon lands. Their homes had been mostly in small villages that rarely had company due to their locations. This was clearly a dwarven village member who had been born just a  few years ago in the grand scheme of things. 

Before Gil could say something, the girl pulled him. He was shocked to find she was stronger than what he expected. Also that she had one small horn growing from her head that proved without a doubt that she had demon blood in her. The muscles of a dwarf and the mana of a demon. Muscle and magic? Gil\'s interest was piqued. 

"Put up your shields. She\'s going to blow up the heroes." one boy spoke up before someone slapped the back of his head for being rude. 

However, just from that, Gil and Onyx somewhat understood. Strength but lack of mana control came from dwarves. Control of mana and lack of great strength came from demons. Therefore, if they were mixed, it would be very hard to control everything. In turn, it meant that many materials would be destroyed because controlling both strengths might not work for this little apprentice. 

"Materials." the little girl opened a hand and Gil was unsure if he should offer anything he had brought. He had only brought things he had managed to collect and gather by himself or along with Alma. pieces of unique trees from the elven forest, mana crystals from their adventures, and even a few things they had gathered while on the ships in the ocean filled with dangers. 

"Gil, I think this is a good idea." Onyx stopped Gil\'s thoughts of fear and worry. Instead, Gil caught on that Onyx was gesturing with his tail. Each spot that onyx pointed was clearly broken because of failed forging. Yet, they also showed a greater array of manas. Of multiple techniques being tested. As if this apprentice was looking for one that truly fit her.
