Sometime later, in Heidi's territory.
As always, a harsh winter had descended upon the continent.
It was the time when everyone wore extra layers of leather clothing and had to use more firewood. People busied themselves trying to secure more food in any way they could.
However, finding food during a severe winter was very difficult. Even monsters and wild animals were less active, so recklessly trying to hunt them could lead to even greater losses. It was often better to just wait for the following spring.
Beonald and his group were currently swamped, having built a proper workshop in the small mansion of the territory Heidi had received, and were now focused on crafting the commissioned 'Mana Armor' for Young Master Kedron.
While people generally avoided moving around much in winter except to gather firewood, they were still exceptionally busy.
“Good, hold it… just like that.”
“This frame is also quite labor-intensive.”
“Well, that's the core of it. And we're only able to do this because we have this magic tool. Without it, it would have been impossible.”
Thanks to the treasure vault passed down through the generations of the Valderian family, which contained all the ritual-crafting magic tools he had used in his past life, and his previous wartime exploits, they were now effectively all in Beonald's possession and being put to use.
'Ring of Crafting', 'Bracelet of Mana Storage', 'Ring of Discernment'……. Without these, engraving even a single ritual onto this mithril would have taken an enormous amount of time, and they would have needed even more of Selina's help and effort, doubling the work time.
'And the best thing is, of course, this notebook.'
Retrieving the notebook he had used in his past life, filled with important rituals, improved rituals, ideas for new magic tools, and crucial alchemical formulas, allowed him to review and refine the mana armor for Young Master Kedron as he worked.
“By the way, Lady Heidi has been running around incredibly busy… Shouldn't we help her?”
“She's the lord of this territory, even if it's a small village. It's only natural she's busy. Besides, I've assigned Sane to her, so there shouldn't be any problems.”
“Even so, I worry since they're both beginners.”
“No one is skilled from the start. Swordsmanship, magic, alchemy… they are all perfected through failure and trial and error.”
“It's doooooone!”
Amidst their work, Besia's voice rang out from behind.
The construction of their new residence was, once again, her responsibility. Thanks to Heidi being the lord, they could now utilize the territory's labor force, allowing for larger-scale construction projects, which thrilled her.
While most people would dislike hard labor, she seemed to enjoy it, perhaps finding joy in continuously learning and developing new techniques.
'Well… there's a technological development aspect to it too, so that's probably why.'
It wasn't just simple
