Overgeared

Chapter 99

Pagma’s Descendant could use all items, was almost immune to all status conditions, had a skill that made me immortal for a short time and other passive skills, as well as Pagma’s Swordsmanship. If I considered the overwhelming stats growth from the item production, it was a class that belonged to a combat type.

However, Pagma’s Descendant was fundamentally a blacksmith. From appraisal, to repair, enhancement, production, and creation… Pagma’s Descendant shone the most when it came to blacksmithing. The anvil, furnace, and other production tools all made up my main stage.

“Sigh. Sigh.”

I started pouring the mithril ore, coke, and limestone into the blast furnace.

[You can sense the temperature due to the rapid changes in ambient temperature. 30 degrees. 31 degrees. 31.5 degrees. 33 degrees. 36 degrees, 39…]

-Pagma’s descendant is sensitive to changes in temperature. If there is a furnace in the vicinity, you can accurately measure the temperature inside the furnace.

I had already mastered the bellows… No, it was a legendary class that couldn’t be compared to a master. The temperature of the furnace rose sharply as I intended.

[1,000 degrees. 1,100 degrees. 1,350…]

‘Mithril…’

Iron was by far the most common material used for making items. Iron ore was suitable for smelting at temperatures between 1,150~1,250. However, smelting mithril required a much higher temperature and technique was needed to keep it within the required range.

‘I have to maintain it exactly between 1,820~1840.’

That’s why mithril smelting was only available for Advanced Blacksmith Mastery level 3 or higher.

It wasn’t possible for average blacksmiths to raise the temperature of the furnace to higher than 1,800 degrees. Those with Advanced Blacksmith Mastery level 2 might be able to raise the temperature to 1,800 degrees, but it was impossible for them to control it. However, it was simple for me as Pagma’s Descendant.

In particular, I already dealt with mithril while making the Divine Shield. I was able to smelt mithril even with my eyes closed. However, I couldn’t afford to not focus.

Suooooh.

The temperature of the furnace was fixed at 1,840 degrees and over time, the mithril ore started to melt slowly.

Inside the blast furnace that was over 1,800 degrees, the melted mithril ore mixed with the carbon monoxide generated from the coke, and pig iron with carbon and mithril was made. At the same time, the separated impurities were turned into slag by the limestone and discharged separately.

This process was a reproduction of smelting methods used in modern iron foundries, which meant that the smelting in Satisfy copied modern smelting techniques.

… This was written on the forums about the blacksmith class.

‘Why do I need to understand the principles when I’m not even getting a license? Don’t I just need to do it properly?’

I filled the mold with the molten metal. The mysterious orange color of mithril was so beautiful that it felt like my soul was flying away.

‘Pretty… It is prettier than women…’

Heok?

“What am I thinking right now?”

It felt like I was becoming a minerals otaku. I had to do something if I didn’t want to introduce myself as ‘married to my job’ when I was 50.

‘No… But I’m actually not popular with women… I should at least have a relationship before I die, even if it isn’t marriage… Sigh…’

I started to worry if I would really end up married to my job.

“How rotten…”

After the incident with Ahyoung, my confidence with relationships had dropped to the bottom. When would I be able to overcome this aftereffect? I was very worried about my future as I poured the molten minerals into the molds I prepared beforehand. Now I needed to wait for the molten mineral to harden.

‘I can’t play around while waiting.’

Time was money. I had to cover the costs of all the money I spent on clothing, a haircut and food when I met Ahyoung. I took the Tipan wood I set to one side and started to trim it.

Tipan was like an upgraded version of bamboo. It was dozens of times harder and resilient than bamboo, making it suitable to be used as a material for a spear. It was popular when used to make ornaments because of its transparent blue color, but it was too expensive to be used for ornaments. Using Tipan wood as an ornament was one of the symbols of the rich.

“Um.”

I trimmed the Tipan wood into a straight form and cut it 178cm long.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

I swung it a few times as I felt the grip and weight.

‘Even with this resilience, the strength is comparable to steel… It is expensive.’

This would be the shaft for the Gale Spear. The harmony of the silver and blue was bound to make the spear beautiful and luxurious.
