Chapter 168: Legendary Grade Weapon
Magisteel is the material extracted from raw Magic Ore. It is extremely rare that only 3-5% can be extracted from raw Magic Ore.
This material is very durable and heat resistant. Compared to other rare metals that have at most a melting point of around 5,000 degrees Celsius, Magisteel can withstand temperatures close to 10,000 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, it has a self-repairing trait and is exceptional at inducting Magical Power, enabling any objects made from Magisteel to "grow" with their user. All these properties made Magisteel highly desirable for making high-quality equipment with magical properties.
Magisteel's excellent properties and difficulty in obtaining it resulted in its very high price in the market. Even a fist-sized chunk of Magisteel is worth at least twenty times its weight in gold.
This was also the reason why he didn't buy it, as his money needed to be invested in his business and the infrastructure of this village.
Still, he somehow remembered that in the story, Rimuru held a number of Magisteel as he had eaten many Magic Ore at the place where he was born.
Now, what is a Magic Ore?
Magic Ore is the raw form of Magisteel. Even without being processed into Magisteel, it is considered equal in value to gold due to its being rare and versatile.
Unlike regular ores, Magic Ore only forms around the vicinity of B Rank Monsters or higher. That is because when over a certain period of time, regular mineral ores are exposed to dense concentrations of Magicules, the ores will slowly absorb them and eventually turn into Magic Ore. Due to the high-level monsters lurking around them, they are only accessible to high-ranking adventurers.
Nevertheless, whether it was Magisteel or Magic Ore, all of them were precious.
However, Rimuru held a number of them inside his body like it was nothing, and frankly, this slime didn't know how expensive it was. Yet, because of this, Rimuru was able to get the group of dwarfs to come to this place.
Compared to Magic Ore or the Magisteel, without a doubt, the worth of the group of talented dwarfs was more valuable, especially when each of them had their own specialties.
Kaijin, the leader of the group of dwarfs, is a talented builder, blacksmith, and craftsman.
Dord is a first-rate craftsman, and his focus is on dyes and high-class attire.
Myrd is a dwarf with few words, but having knowledge of construction and being well-versed in the arts, he is a one-of-a-kind genius.
Garm, the last dwarf, is a skilled blacksmith and is also in charge of everyday clothing and underwear.
Without a doubt, the four of them were the reason why this village could grow so fast.
Still, Rimuru quickly gave the Magisteel without much thought to Tamazuki before he followed him to the smithy, wanting to see how he was going to create a weapon.
"What are you going to make?"
"Katana."
"What about your previous katana?"
"I want it better."
"Kaijin, can you show me your blacksmith skill?"
Tamazuki didn't care about their conversation and directly requested.
"Eh?" Kaijin was surprised, but then he nodded. "Sure." He wasn't sure what Tamazuki wanted to do, but if Tamazuki wanted to see his skill, then he welcomed him. A dwarf is like this. If someone treats them sincerely, they will also treat others with sincerity.
Moreover, Tamazuki had power, so Kaijin was even more respectful.
Tamazuki only watched for a moment and soon learned everything; then, along with [Analysist] and [Great Sage], he created a blueprint of his weapon before he made up his mind to make a weapon.
When Tamazuki started to act, the rest of the dwarfs also watched.
"Rimuru-danna, what is Tamazuki-bocchan going to do?"
"Making a weapon."
"Making a weapon?!" 3x
"...."
The four dwarfs were surprised, but one of them was silent.
Talk, oi!
Rimuru looked at Myrd speechlessly.
"Did he have any experience as a blacksmith?"
"I am not sure, but he probably just learned it now."
"......." 4x
How to say... a blacksmith wasn't an easy job. It was a dangerous, exhausting, and delicate job, so someone needed a lot of years to train, yet Rimuru told them that Tamazuki had just learned.
While they felt confused, their eyes soon widened, surprised, flabbergasted, and in a daze before they felt numb as they realized what kind of monster Tamazuki was.
Tamazuki ignored all of them and just focused on his weapons. It wasn't how long he had been in this state, but he poured everything over him, ignoring everything, and just focused on his weapon.
Everything was done with just a single weapon.
Soon, a Legend Grade sword was born in this world.
