Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 21: Weapon Shop Part Two

"Alright, enough teasing." Old Ray said with a smile. "Come Lass I need to match your wavelength with the sword. This will make it a weapon only you can use."

This seemed to be the reason for this weapon shop. Old Ray was a magic blacksmith. Meaning he used magic tools to forge weapons. This world had two different kinds of blacksmith. One was a regular blacksmith that forged steel without magic and then there was the magic blacksmith. They still had to forge weapons with their hands but the tools and the techniques were different. The tools they used were imbued with magic as well as each strike the blacksmith would need the person who the weapon was for, to inject their magic power into it. This strengthened the weapon and made it a part of the owner of the weapon. Only the weapons owner would be able to touch the sword after that. I of course had no idea how much this was going to cost. But to be able to gain such a weapon was an important step in becoming a magic knight.

"Okay Lass, since you will be a magic knight you will need a short sword. That way you can always have one hand free for casting or a shield if need be. Since you are able to lift so much we will do a wider blade with a heavier metal. When sharpened, it should cut through normal weapons and weaker magic weapons with ease. Once the base formation is done and I need to begin hammering it, this is when I will need you to start injecting your magic power. Lad, you will guide her during that process. " Ray explained to me the ins and outs of the entire process. He said that the more magic power I push into the blade the stronger the blade will be and sometimes this process will also give certain effects to the blade as well.

In some occurrences, a wielder was able to make their blade burn their enemies while others would freeze their enemies. Some would do self buffing like give extra strength or periodic healing. These kinds of blades were very rare and considered weapon relics. When I heard this I realized that the axe I received from the system was probably considered a weapon relic.

I was quite amazed at how fast Old Ray was with his forging. In a matter of thirty minutes, he already had the basic form of the sword already made. "Alright Lad, teach your little wife how to inject her magic power into the sword."

Before I knew what was going on, Able grabbed my hand and brought me over to the anvil that my almost finished sword was lying on top of. He shifted his body behind me and wrapped his arms around me hugging me from behind. I could feel his chest pushed up against my back and his breath as he spoke brushing past my ear as he took my hands and explained to me what I needed to do. "Hover your hand like this and flow your magic into the blade. Try to keep a steady stream and use as much magic as you can. The more magic you can use the better."

"Li-Like thi-this!?"My heart was beating so fast I felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. I could only do my best to utter a few stuttered words in response. I knew my face was beat red and I also knew that Able was doing this so he could explain everything to me easier. But wasn't this a little too close!? Although I say that, I realized that when Able finally let go of me after explaining everything and felt this body heat leave my body, I felt it was somewhat regretful. It was then I wondered if maybe I was actually a closet pervert.

"Okay Lass, that is enough." Old Ray said as he landed the hammer one more time. A bright glow filled the room as the blade took its final form. "This..." Old Ray's eyes lit up as he looked at the blade. "An artifact weapon!"

"Artifact weapon?" I asked. In the game Magical Love, there was no weaponsmithing or anything like that. The special names for weapons were never talked about either. So all these names and terms I was hearing now were all new to me.

"You see the blue hue on the weapon? That means it has multiple attributes! I never thought there would be a day when I would make a blue weapon. Little lady, I must thank you for giving me the honor of forging this weapon. To a magic blacksmith, this is like a dream come true." Old Ray said with a bright smile on his old face. "Now let's pick out the wood for the hilt. I will need you to hold the blade for me while I attach it. Now that this blade is exclusively yours unless you hold it I will not be able to touch it."

After doing some minor touch-ups the blade was completely done. In my hand was a glistening short sword with a rosewood colored hilt. There were also some magic stones embedded into the hilt near the guard, which Old Ray told me was for transferring my magic into it. These magic stones were essential to magic swordsmen. It would make their attacks even stronger than before since it would utilize the magic type in the stone to cause the same effect a relic weapon or artifact weapon could do. MY sword had a green and red stone embedded into it. The greenstone was for healing and the other was for fire-based damage.

At this time though even though I had just gone through that whole process of getting this weapon made. Because I had been so caught up in the momentum of things. I forgot to ask how much this was all going to cost. "Umm... " My voice shook as I began to speak. "How much..."

"No need!" Ray cut in without letting me finish what I was going to say.

"Huh?"

"Little Lady you allowed me to forge an artifact weapon there is no charge for this. Take it as my way of saying thanks for allowing me to achieve a life long dream." Old Ray said as he reached out and rubbed the top of my head.

I couldn't help but smile as I excitedly said: "Thank you!"
