I didn’t really think that he was lying, but it was still hard to believe that the interior was iron.
Well, it made sense for him to call it a fake if that was the case.
「There is still mithril on it, right?」
「I would say that it’s only one fourth of it, maybe one third at best.」
God had been really stingy, giving me a fake Mithril Golem. If mithril only covered the surface, didn’t it function just as a coating? If it had been gold coated then it would have been a Gold Golem?
I felt as if I had been scammed.
「It’s still enough to make a few knives, right?」
They were my main goal, after all.
「Yeah, if all you want is knives, it’s enough for a number of them.」
Whew. If he had said that it wasn’t enough, I would have had to buy them.
「If I remember correctly, you wanted a dismantling knife, right?」
「That’s right, but might I ask you to make me two fighting knives? This request made me want a mithril weapon.」
I had started to want them when I had seen how Senya-san fought.
I wouldn’t mind a long sword, but they didn’t seem easy to use while I could use knives for other things as well.
「What about the dismantling knife?」
「I will ask Gold-san to make two of them for me.」
It was better to ask Gold-san to make the dismantling knives since he would also be the one maintaining them.
「Okay, then. You’re asking for two knives; is it one for you and one for the missy next to you?」
「No, I will use them both, so one right-handed and one left-handed knife if possible.」
「You will dual wield them, huh.」
「Yep.」
「Well, that’s fine by me. You want two knives, so I will make two knives. Show me your hands.」
I showed him my Bear Hands.
「You… Are you kidding me? I asked you to show me your hands because I need to know their size, so I can make knives that fit them.」
「I will hold the knives with my gloves on, though…」
I made the Bear Hand’s mouth open and close.
「Just remove these strange gloves and show me your hands for now!」
Since he persisted, I removed my gloves and showed him my hands.
「Such tiny hands.」
Gazar-san touched the palm of my hands, which made me a bit ticklish.
「They are really soft too. You really fight with these hands?」
「I mostly use magic, but yeah.」
「It’s okay then, but you will have to train, or you will get blisters on your hands. Well, I got your hand sizes now, so put your gloves back on now.」
I put my gloves back on, and Gazar-san held my hands again.
「Nice fabric you’re using, huh.」
「You can tell just from touching it?」
「Pretty much, yeah. Okay, I have a feel of what your hands are like, now. Do you need the knives made quickly?」
「Not really, you can take your time. How long does it normally take?」
「It takes time to process mithril, so about 10 days.」
「Okay, fine by me.」
「So, which mithril type do you want? From what you told me, the magic one would be the best for you, but…」
「Mithril type?」
I tilted my head, hearing those words for the first time.
「You’re asking for a mithril weapon without even knowing about its types?」
I couldn’t help not knowing about it. After all, mithril weapons had no types in the game.
Gazar-san proceeded to explain.
「If I just rely on the pure mithril ore, I can draw out its sharpness. Such weapons are generally used by those who can’t use magic. If I add a magic potion to the mithril ore, I can make a magic type mithril weapon. Wielders can then use magic to reinforce the mithril. Its sharpness is lower without magic, but with it, it can be stronger than a regular mithril weapon.」
「Doesn’t everyone possess a certain amount of magic power?」
Anyone was able to light a light magic stone and make water from a water magic stone.
「If a person doesn’t have the magic power of a mage, they aren’t strong enough to reinforce mithril with magic power.」
