TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Chapter 222 - 221 New Gear



Once Lilia had picked out her next requests, the two of them headed back outside where they picked up Blitz and Lilia's beast companion before heading back to the Towering Bear.

"Get a good night's sleep and feel free to do whatever you want tomorrow. I will be heading to Edzard's forge tomorrow to work on some new items."

After wishing Lilia good night, Marcus decided to get to work on visualizing and thinking out what he was going to do.

'Hm, I think that is probably a good idea. It will be complicated, but if it works, I will have an even more powerful attack.'

Spending the majority of the night planning on what items he was going to make and what materials he was going to use, Marcus only noticed how long he had been at it when he saw the first rays of light peeking through the room's window.

'Time really flies when you are engrossed in something.'

Taking a bit of time to rest up, Marcus laid down on the open bed in the room and simply closed his eyes allowing his mind to be still until Lilia woke up.

Around an hour later Marcus heard the sound of movement and looked over to see that Lilia was just getting up.

After waiting for Lilia to get ready, Marcus went down with her to get breakfast and ate some of the delicious food that was served at the Towering Bear.

"Okay Lilia I am going to head off now, so enjoy your next few days but try not to get into any trouble you cannot handle. And if you need me just come to Cobalt Forge."

With that Marcus headed out to the back of the inn and picked up Blitz, before riding out onto the streets and heading towards the Cobalt Forge that was run by Edzard.

Blasting through the city streets on Blitz's back, it took Marcus only five minutes to arrive at his destination and he stared at the building of the Cobalt Forge.

"Okay Blitz you head back to the inn and stay out of trouble when I am finishing up here, I will call you back over."

'Understood my liege, I will do as you command.' Blitz said using their connection to respond to Marcus now that he had gain awareness from the fruit of cognizance.

Blitz then took off running back to the Towering Bear while Marcus wondered why he refused to call him anything but my liege.

Walking into the forge Marcus greeted those inside and asked where Edzard was.

"In his office, oaky I will go pay him a quick visit." Marcus said to the apprentice that had answered his question.

Having gotten the information he wanted, Marcus walked up to Edzard's office and knocked on his door.

"Come on in."

With that response Marcus opened the door and found Edzard hunched over a drafting table, working on some type of design while also eating a sandwich.

"Hello again Edzard, I am here to finally use your facilities."

Hearing Marcus' voice, Edzard looked up from his drafting table and a big smile appeared on his face.

"Irene, I was beginning to think that you were never going to come back. Of course, you can use the facilities and tools within my forge, I have been dying to see what the skills of one of Thabon's apprentices has. Give me just a moment and I will have a private area arranged for you."

Edzard then popped his head out of his office and began shouting orders out to some of his subordinates before coming back inside to talk more with Marcus.

"So, what are you going to be making today."

"Ah just a couple of different items, like new weapon's and armor for me and my sister. Though I am afraid I will have to ask that you not watch me work, trade secrets and all. Well unless you want to give me an ingot of adamantine."

Edzard began laughing after hearing Marcus say that, and responded, "No I am afraid not. Even I only get on average two ingots to work with a year, but it was a good try. Oh well I will have to forgo watching you work, but you will at least let me see the finished products?"

Nodding his head Marcus said, "Sure having another expert's opinion on your work is always good, so once I am done, I will show you. Though I may take a few days to finish everything up."

Marcus and Edzard then talked about different forging techniques and the most unique items that they had used until one of the men came in and said that Marcus' room was ready.

"Are you sure you do not need any supplies from me?"

Shaking his head Marcus took in the work room that was being lent to him and said, "Nope I have everything I need already."

After that Edzard left Marcus on his own. respecting his privacy as another forgemaster.

'Time to get to work.'

Not having brought his supply of mithril ingots from home in order to make more room in his item box, the first thing he needed to do was obtain some.

Luckily in the demon's treasury their had been a few crates of high quality mithril ore that Marcus could smelt into ingots.

Lighting up the large furnace, Marcus cast his control flames spell to get it incredibly hot before throwing in the hundreds of pounds of ore he had.

With the ore now in Marcus simply heated it up melting off the other elements of rock that had a much lower melting point than the mithril, before removing the slag and then pouring the pure mithril into ingot molds.

After that, while waiting for the now two dozen ingots to cool off, Marcus began arranging the supplies he was going to use.

'Do I use the demon's and Veunlux's cores.'

Contemplating one of the issue he had, Marcus was still on the fence about using his highest-level cores.

Certainly, using them would allow him to make the strongest possible weapon, but it would almost seem like a waste to use it on mithril.

Giving it a great deal of thought Marcus finally decided against using the demon's and Veunlux's cores and planned to save them for when he could get ahold of some adamantine.

'These should work as good enough substitutes anyways.'

Pulling out two different cores, one came from the caladrius which was the huge white bird like monster Marcus had killed, since it had a light affinity, and the other came from a large spider like monster that was able to create webs of darkness that he had found deep in the elemental caves area.

Next Marcus took out things like elemental crystals, and parts of the monsters whose cores he was using and organized them on a table.

'Now onto Lilia's new weapons.'

With he items he was going to be using for his own new weapon sorted Marcus went onto Lilia's.

The first thing he took out was the core of the sand shark he had killed, and another core from a level forty-five plus monster he had found in the demon's treasury.

Going through the items he had, Marcus continued to pull out rare forging materials that most forgemasters would kill to obtain.

Once he had everything laid out for Lilia's new gauntlets, Marcus went onto armor, and then a couple of other unique items he had thought of.

'That should do it.'

With everything laid out and ready to go, Marcus went over to check on the ingots and found that they had cooled off.

'Now where do I start.'

Having so many projects laid out, Marcus was not sure which one to start on, but ultimately decided to go with Lilia's new armor first.

He had basically gone with the same design as before, making a pendant that had its own little dimensional space and would fold out into scale mail since Lilia liked it so much, but this time it would be far more powerful.

Picking out a few mithril ingots, Marcus got to work on the painstaking process of creating Lilia's new armor but after nearly twenty hours of nonstop work it was finally done.

'Whew it was pretty rough there for a bit, but at about the halfway point it seemed to get a little bit easier. Wait could that mean.'

Frantically, Marcus opened up his status and scrolled down to his skills and there it was, 'Level five forging.'

Seeing this Marcus actually began jumping for joy. Level five forging was the minimum requirement to work effectively with adamantine, without it everything that would be made would be incredibly low quality and difficult to manage.

However, being able to work with adamantine still did not change the fact that Marcus did not have any.

'But as soon as I can get my hands on some, I will be able to make truly powerful items.'

After taking a bit of time to celebrate his forging skill level up, Marcus got right back to work deciding to go for his armor next.

He was planning to go with a similar approach to what he had mad for Lilia by making it into a pendant that would deploy into the armor, however instead of scale mail he was going with the chainmail he was already used to.

Taking his time to work precisely on each of the individual chains, Marcus began to lose himself in a trance as he made his own armor going step by step until he had finished the final touches on the enchantments.

Then to his surprise a pattern appeared on his chain mail meaning that the system had recognized it as a true masterpiece and then elevated even higher.

'Wow I honestly was not expecting this. I guess I really got into the zone on this one. The only regrettable part is that Lilia's armor did not get the system's recognition. Oh well, that just means I need to try that much harder on her gauntlets.'

Getting himself hyped up, Marcus moved on to creating his and Lilia's weapons, already planning to do a perfect job that would be recognized by the system.
