Chapter 803 Working Hard
-----
Now that everything was finally explained and done, we watched the time we had right now. It was already getting darker in here, seems like Arcadia does gets darker earlier than in Earth. It would soon be around six pm.
There were several things we had to do now, but the more the merrier, honestly. Because they will all become an opportunity for all of us to become stronger and also find clues about the Cultists.
First of all, the whole Trial I need to complete, which I'll have to do with my friends help. I also want to smelt synthesis a lot of equipment so I can get even stronger ones. I think making a Legendary Rank equipment shouldn't be hard if I stack a lot of these ingots.
I plan on getting the King's request to arm up his knights by doing this too, so we'll be killing two birds with one stone. Also this weekend is the craftmanship competition, but I just have to wait until that begins.
Moving on, there's the quests where we have to explore the three areas where we sensed the origin of the demonic book, one of them was beneath the kingdom's walls, in the noble district, and another in the mining dungeon at the outskirts.
Then, we must also register in the Magician Guild and investigate if they are truly cooperating with the Cult or not.
In between all of that, I also want to revisit the Druid Guild and ask the Guild Master about the Verdant Green Domain… And let's not forget there's a little angel living in my house now!
So, in between all these new responsibilities, there's a lot to do!
However, I somehow am really looking forward to doing it. Have I changed or somehow become less lazy over time?
I just really like having a lot to do…
Nonetheless, my plan for today was crafting at least two hundred pieces of equipment and play around the Smelting Synthesis Abilities.
I also want to upgrade my Gaia's All Purpose Tool, which has the ability to absorb Materials and improve, so I might feed it a few ingots.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
And already, I could hear Ambil using the new hammers provided here, he was already beginning to shape some of the metals for me to finish off.
Meanwhile, I could see Rita, Lily, and Nieve cooperating on helping them handle materials, refine them, clean them, or even create them. Lily was able to produce low-quality metals out of her body by using Mana, although they were low-quality, they came loaded with spirit energy.
Brisingra and Mark were the second in command after Ambil, also doing a similar job to him, they had already prepared dozens of pieces of metal for me. We decided to go for what the King has requested first, swords and spears.
At the side, Nieve was helping at cooling down the metal sticks they forged using Blazing Bronze, Black Iron, and Spirit Copper, the last one produced by Lily.
Acorn was using his Alchemy in combination with his newly acquired Blacksmithing Skill to combine the pile of spirit crystals and other monster materials I had left behind, this way, we can improve the quality of the mass-produced products quickly.
And lastly, I wasn't just looking at them work, I was constantly hammering the products they handled to me while being at the side of the blazing divine forging flames.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
I was refining the fiftieth sword I had made already, which was looking slightly rough, but I swiftly imbued it with both a few Lesser Spirits, which kept popping out of my body as I wished, and also with the Draconic Spirit Essence of my Dragon Spirits.
FLUOOOSH!
The weapon was then polished with my magic power and my Alchemy Skills, as I shapeshifted the steel and then hardened it in a split of a second…
Ding!
[You have successfully created [Blazing Dragon Spirit Steel Sword (Unique+ Rank/B+++ Grade)] x1!]
[You gained +225 Skill Proficiency.]
[You gained +1.000.000 EXP.]
"And done! This is the number fifty!" I celebrated, throwing the weapon away into the pile behind me. "Phew! I guess we got to take a break now, right me?"
"Yep, I think so too!" Another me nodded, she was right besides me and was just exactly me, she had her own pile of swords, another fifty too.
FLASH!
She swiftly merged back into my body…
Indeed, I can make clones!
And this was a power I had for a while, it is named [Yggdrasil's Avatar], and it is part of my Heart of the Forest once it evolved into an Yggdryad.
To sum it up, that tree over there is actually my real body. Meanwhile, the rest are Avatars, even the one I've been using all this time is an Avatar, an extension of my true body.
However, I am still penalized like a Player when they die if my Avatars die too. However, I can set my "main avatar" as the one that gets penalized, which inherits all my stats.
The other "sub avatars" only get at most 20% of my stats but can use up to five of my skills. I haven't used them because it takes a bit of effort to concentrate in using two bodies.
After all, they don't have minds of their own, it is all my own mind, which I divide to control these bodies.
My limit is just two Avatars for now, more than that and I get a very strong headache, so it can't be helped!
Nonetheless, a hundred swords are not bad at all for having worked for about two hours.
"At first, I couldn't believe my father had given a Dryad like you his legacy…" Ignis was amazed while talking amidst the forge flames. "But now, I can see why he chose you… To think you would finish a hundred Unique+ Rank swords in just two hours… Planta, you sure are a monster!"
"Hahaha, you're exaggerating…! Anyways, everyone! Time for a break! Let's eat something!" I called everyone to take a break.
