– Volume 3 Episode 14

14. Elemental Ertel (2)

“Oh, that? That’s Ertel’s name. Yes, there is.”

When Hoya explained the appearance of Ertel and the process of its creation, Hieros nodded.

‘Wow, that’s good.’

To be honest, when Hieros answered ‘I don’t know’, I thought it was not there, so I was worried that I would have to look for another place.

But he wasn’t there, he just didn’t know the name of the ore.

It is said that in the nests of the higher level spirits, there is one Ertel, although the sizes are different.

Of course, Ertel also exists in Hieros’ nest.

“But why?”

“That’s actually…”

Hoya showed Hieros the Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword that Dantals had repaired and explained the situation.

“Hmm, I understand the situation. You mean that ertel is necessary to make a new weapon, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Will you give it to me if you need it?”

“really?”

No… Still, it’s a little odd to just receive that precious thing.

As Hoya was thinking about it, Hieros continued.

“Instead.”

A slightly greedy smile was added to Hieros’ alluring smile.

“The one that was originally attached to that sword… Moanthalium? Can’t you give me that?”

“Are you talking about Moanthaltium?”

“Yeah, that!”

The Moantaltium that Dantals removed while repairing the weapon was now in Hoya’s inventory.

[Moantaltium lost its power]

It is an ore created by the collaboration of a legendary blacksmith and a legendary wizard.

Now, it has lost all its strength and is nothing more than scrap metal.

For smelting, legendary blacksmith skills are required.

It’s not difficult to give, but now it’s just scrap metal.

But one thing struck me.

In Hoya’s mind, he was more of an Ertel’s worth than a Moantaltium, which had lost the power he now possesses.

So, from Hoya’s point of view, it was a beneficial exchange condition, but it was a different matter to be unhappy in his conscience.

It was Hoya’s idea that it was bartering and should be given in return.

So Hoya took out Moantaltium and told Hieros the current state of Moanthaltium.

“Hey, it’s fine.”

Hieros took the longer of the broken Moanthaltium Hoya was holding and swung it around in the air.

He looked like a conductor with a baton.

“Don’t you like it?”

Hieros says that from the first time he saw him, he liked the color and wanted to have it.

He doesn’t seem to care much about whether or not his strength gets stronger by using an item.

What Hieros wanted was the appearance.Whenever he swung the rod of Moanthaltium, the dark blue night sky shining from his white fingertips certainly suited him well.

“Is it really okay to exchange Ertel for that?”

“Huh.”

Hi Eros liked him so much, so I wondered if he was okay.

Values ​​vary according to each other’s perspectives and wishes.

Although it was a good material for Hieros, Moantaltium, which showed a beautiful color like the night sky, was more valuable than the ore that was rolling on the bed.

“Then I’ll have to give you something!”

Hieros took Hoya and moved to the village of Yggdrasil.

Of course, I had to leave Ordo before that, so I had to tear the warp scroll first.

Hieros had previously explained that it was difficult to find the location of Yggdrasil because the space around Ordo was distorted.

He could have asked Mo-an, but Hieros was afraid of Mo-an, so he had no choice but to do it.

I told him about Moan in the hopes that he would soon fix the thing he was afraid of, but it didn’t work.

It seems that Hieros will not be afraid of Moan for a long time.

When he arrived at the village of Yggdrasil, the elves who recognized Hoya sent him greetings and thanks.

After Rencia returned to Yggdrasil’s village, it was felt that the atmosphere of the elves had become brighter.

“Oh, hoya! That’s good, the fruit is very fresh today, so I’ll take one.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve been here. Stop by often like everyone else.”

“Haha, yes.”

The elves were very kind to Hoya, knowing that Hoya was the reason for the reconciliation between Rencia and the village.

Hoya and Hieros shared half of the blue tree fruit that an elf had given him, and started walking.

The forest of spirits located to the northwest of the forest of Yggdrasil, the nest of Hieros.

It is a place where hundreds of spirits are flying in the sky, perched on branches, and playing hide and seek with the fallen leaves.

“Ah! Hoyada! Hoya!”

“Wow-! Long time no see, long time no see!”

“Hi.”

“What are you here for?”

“Badu? Where’s Badu?”

The spirits who found Hoya came close to him and stuck to him.

Due to the light emitted by the spirits, he could not see well.

It would be difficult to get to Hieros’ nest in this state.

Reluctantly, when Badu was summoned, many spirits clinged to Badu.

“Cheong?”

“Badu is not Badoo!”

“Badu is handsome! Handsome!”

“Hey, I like cute Badu too, right?”

“I like this one too!”

As soon as the spirits came out, Badu was confused, but Hoya took the opportunity and followed Hieros to his nest.

Hieros’ nest was the center of the branches of a large tree.

The branches have grown exquisitely, and the leaves are softly spread in a space that is just enough for Hieros to lie down.

And a large blue marble was rolling around it.

Perhaps that is Ertel.

The size was just what Dantals said.

“Come on, here.”

“thanks.”

Hieros handed it to Hoya, who thanked Hieros.

Hieros said Moanthaltium was enough, but Hoya promised in his heart that he would do something for Hieros later.

[Elemental Ertel]

It is an ore created by the agglomeration of the magical energy that flows from the spirit.

It is very pure because it is created with the magic of the spirit itself, which is magic itself.

When smelting with equipment, you can expect the effect of increasing the efficiency of skills and magic.

For smelting, blacksmithing skills of artisan or higher are required.

“Kang!”

Upon receiving Ertel from Hieros, Badu climbed up the tree and pulled the hem of Hoya’s robe into his mouth.

He seemed to be protesting why he was leaving him.

“Foot, heh heh heh heh…”

The spirits cling to Badu’s body that climbed up the tree, so it looks like he has fur that shines in seven colors.

It was pretty, but at first glance it looked funny.

Thanks to that, pulling the robe only looked cute.

Badu tilted his head at Hoya’s laugh, but Hoya didn’t say anything to Badu and quietly took a screenshot of his current state.

Hoya was thinking of making a screen shot later as a smartphone wallpaper.

Now that you have obtained Ertel, you can complete the desired material by adding the ice attribute to it.

Hoya got down from the tree and put Ertel down on the floor.

The way to add attributes to Ertel, which Dantals heard from, is to use magic with attributes toward Ertel before smelting it.

It is said that the effect differs greatly depending on the power of the magic used.

Curious what the spirits were doing, he said that it was dangerous because he approached them, and he offered Badu as a sacrifice and pushed him back.

“Spear.”

[The cloudy magic bracelet responded to the ‘Sphere’.][‘Spear’ is cast 8 additional times.]

Luckily, the effect of the cloudy magic bracelet was activated, and a total of 11 spears of ice appeared around Hoya.

The tip of that ice spear was facing Ertel lying on the floor.

When the ice spears were blown towards Ertel at once, a strong cold air exploded like a cold wave with a loud sound and spread out in all directions.

“Oh, it’s cold! It’s cold!”

“Fire quickly! Fire!”

“Be careful not to move it to a tree!”

“okay!”

The spirits around them gathered around the fire spirit to avoid the cold or hid themselves under the fur of the badu.

Only some of the ice spirits did not avoid the cold.

As the dust and cold air that had been created by the spear lifted, there was a translucent marble of ice flowing like dry ice.

[Ertel of the Spirit Embracing the Cold]

It is an ore created by the agglomeration of the magical energy that flows from the spirit.

It is very pure because it is created with the magic of the spirit itself, which is magic itself.

When smelting with equipment, you can expect the effect of increasing the efficiency of skills and magic.

It is currently in a state of strong cold.There is a risk of frostbite if touched.

For smelting, blacksmithing skills of artisan or higher are required.

Even though only one line was added to the item description, Ertel’s change was quite significant.

When I picked up the finished Ertel and checked it closely, snowflake crystals were densely painted on the inside of the marble.

And it was pretty cold.

If it hadn’t been for the real title of ‘Resident of the Land’s Edge Village’, I would have been struck by frostbite right away.

Although Ertel, the most important material, was acquired, it was not possible to make a weapon with this alone.

Erthello of this size would be only about the size of a dagger.

That’s why I needed more materials to support Ertel’s effect from behind.

Heard that a dungeon with a boss monster that dropped adamantite had been discovered a while ago, so Hoya was thinking of going there.

* * *

“… Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever been the first to contact Hoya.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

When Doban and Yooa were hunting together after a long time, Doban suddenly opened his mouth.

“Literally… …do you hate me?”

“Huh.”

Seeing that the classmate was doing that because of his relationship with one person, the infant was so excited that he could not speak.

It may mean that he liked him, but it was absurd for a young child to worry about such a thing.

“But, how long ago did you say something?”

“That’s also what I wanted to let go of first.”

“Still, accepting doesn’t mean that person wants to get to know you too?”

Besides, if I really hated it, I would have ignored the whisper.

When the infant said that, Doban’s expression seemed to lighten.

But he couldn’t get rid of his thoughts.

“Then try smut.”

After reading Doban’s mind, the infant brought out his words.

“Wheat flour?”

“You always approached me first and pulled me, so this time, don’t contact me until that person calls me first.”

“…isn’t that what you do when you’re dating?”

“Love and friendship are the same thing. By the way, I won her love this way.”

The infant was joking.

But Doban was seriously thinking about whether or not this was the case.

[Hoya: Doban, are you busy?]

Then a whisper came to him from Hoya.

When I told him about it, he stopped Doban from replying.

“Wait! Don’t answer me right away. Give me a moment. Take the initiative! Make him fussy!”

Again, this was a joke.

What is the push-and-take between men, what do you want to do by making the bastard fuss?

If you thought about it, you could see that the words the infant was saying were strange, but Doban had little knowledge of human relations.

So I believed the words of YooA and tried to send a reply after just an hour.

But it was right after that.

[Hoya: If you are not busy, can you go to one dungeon with me?][Dovan: I’m not busy at all.]
