chanical Engineers or "Golem Creators" are a special type of Crafter Job in this Dwarf Country that only people that has accumulated great talent with Crafting and Blacksmithing can even fathom to reach. This is why they're rare, and often pioneers of their own.
Apparently the twins got the talent for Golem Creation as well, but they seem to lack all the new knowledge that has been accumulated over the years as they only do the most ancient of techniques and specialize over the creation of armor and weapons mostly.
Although I don't want to compromise into becoming Ruby's persona alchemist, I do want to help her out. She looks like she can create a bunch of interesting things that might even make our lives easier back in our village. And in exchange for my help she'll share her technology and knowledge about how to make it too. A fair exchange, seeing how rare Alchemists are, Eraldine and I have beco even more valuable!
However, that's not there is to it.
"I was wondering if you've ever made a devise capable of uncursing things? Or unfreeze a specially made magic ice?" I wondered, thinking about the frozen people back in the village.
"Uncursing or unfreezing items? Well, we do have a few of them…" She said while rubbing her chin. I quickly noticed Lucifer's eyes shining brightly.
"Can we see them? I am willing to buy as many as you've got." I said.
"Eh? For what reason… exactly?" She wondered.
"Well… Err, it is a special reason." I said while looking away. "We've got soone… that was cursed with a freezing spell. The curse is incredibly powerful, so we are trying anything that might work. He's still alive sohow…"
"O-Oh…" Ruby covered her mouth in surprise. "I am sorry for asking this, I didn't knew… Well, here, before eating let guide you to my Atelier, it is where I make all my things, I also have a large storage with many items classified by type and everything else, let's go there."
Ruby quickly guided downstairs into the underground area of her house, an enormous place bigger than her own ho. The storage rooms were probably over twenty, each one bigger than the previous one.
"Room number 14… Here." She quickly touched the door as it glowed bright gold, opening itself.
As we entered, we found countless magic items laying around the entire place, stored over large shelves. Ruby began running around looking for sothing, until she finally brought a large wooden box and took out several items from inside.
"Here..." She said, grabbing an item resembling a wand with the tip of a sapphire. "This is the Unfreezing Wand; we barely have much use for it. The item's power depends in the MP input." Then, she grabbed another resembling a large black sphere. "This is the Uncursing Orb. I had tested it and could absorb a lot of Curses; power can also depend in MP input…" And then, she grabbed the last item, it resembled a flathrower.
"This is an old prototype, I don't know if it might completely work though, but I designed it in case soone was frozen but remained alive. It has the ability to make ice quickly lt at an incredible speed but doesn't affect a living organism inside, and can even unfreeze them easily too. But I don't know if it could work with a Freezing Curse…"
"I see, thanks for your help, Ruby. How much? I'll buy all three of them." I said. "We might get a good shot at it if we get them all."
"Well, the first two are sold in the market at around a hundred gold coins each, they're rare and not produced as much. Lastly the flathrower is a prototype so it doesn't have a defined price, but it would be around 150 gold coins, I believe." She said. "I can gift them to you, I don't really mind."
"Ah, no, I don't really want to owe you things…" I said. "It wouldn't be nice for our business. Here." I didn't really wanted to owe stuff she could take advantage of later. She was a good person but still quite ambitious. I had a lot of money at hand anyways, so I easily paid her for everything.
"Y-You really paid 350 gold coins…" She said in surprise. "How much are you carrying around- Wait, did you just brought these coins out of thin air?!"
"Ah, you don't know, huh?" I sighed.
"Maria has the [Inventory] Skill, which is an amazing ability that allows her to store all sorts of things inside a space." Said Helga, introducing my powers. "That alone makes mining much easier!"
"A-Amazing…" Said Ruby. "I had never et soone capable of doing that unless they had space magic."
"Well it is sothing like that… Err, let's keep it a secret for now." I said.
"Very well, let's go have so al now. I hope these items can be of help." Said Ruby.
Like that, we sat down around a large table as several maidservants and manservants started to serve us with delicious plates we had never seen before. There were higher quality beef, a lot of salad, and other delicious things such as atloaf with eggs, fries, and even dessert in ice cream.
Apparently, the Dwarves were the ones that invented the magic device that can create ice cream, which works very similarly to the ones back on earth, slowly freezing cream put inside by whipping it around over and over.
"Oh man, I've never eaten so good in my life!" Helga said while tears flowed from her eyes.
"This is so good!"
"Boss, this amazing!"
"Lady Viscountess food's the best!"
"Oh man the booze is to kill for!"
"You damn bastard's are already drunk?!"
The dwarves were the most festive out there, and Lucifer, Eraldine, and Partner enjoyed their als a lot. Partner asked for many plates, and ended eating every last bit of food that was cooked…
