Cecil and the rest arrived at the Ironforge smithy. As usual it was bustling with activity. The clanging and the yelling was already something that Cecil and Lucia were used to. Ainz and everyone else however were fascinated at the scene of so many forgers working their iron.

They wanted to continue looking, but Cecil and Lucia were already on the move. Ainz and the rest could only follow after them. They bypa.s.sed the smithy and headed to the housing area behind it.

The group b.u.mped into Radon just as he was walking down from his private smithy room.

"Boy, you"re here!" Radon greeted to which Cecil only responded with a nod.

"Mhm."

"Uncle Radon!" From behind Cecil, out popped the brightly smiling Lucia.

"AH! My niece! You"ve finally come to pay your uncle a visit, ahaha!" Radon came over and gave Lucia a tight hug.

Lucia only responded with a giggle. Everyone behind the two was just watching the renowned blacksmith spoil their friend like a grandpa would to his granddaughter...

"...I"m not surprised anymore."

"I"m too tired to be surprised."

"I know right..."

"..."

The four behind only laughed it off. They immediately stepped forward, wanting to introduce themselves to the number blacksmith in the kingdom.

"Oyah? You 2 brought guests! Come, come, come! Let uncle here take a good look at you!" Radon said and began scrutinizing the 4 kids.

"Hey, aren"t you–" Radon said skeptically after seeing Elizabeth.

Eli quickly stepped forward and bowed towards Radon in greeting.

"My name is Elizabeth Arks! I"m Lucia"s cla.s.smate from cla.s.s S and Lucia"s my best friend! Please take care of me!"

"Oh? Best friend huh?" Radon smirked meaningfully at the girl.

"I"m Aquafina Neftersea! I"m also from Lucia"s cla.s.s and I"m also her best friend and roommate!" Fina introduced quickly.

"I"m Velicia Darkclaw! I"m also Lucia"s friend and we"re from the same cla.s.s~"

"Ainz Bernstein! I"m these two troublemakers" friend. I"m from the same cla.s.s and I also happen to be Cecil"s roommate!"

"WAHAHAHA~ since you"re all these two"s friends then you also have my thanks! Thanks for taking care of these two troublemaking kids! I"m Radon by the way, you could say that I"m these two"s uncle!"

"More like gramps..." Cecil said under his breath.

"I HEARD THAT YOU PUNK! WHAT PART OF ME DO YOU THINK IS OLD?" Radon roared.

Cecil took a serious look at the dwarf and said seriously, "Hrmm... everything?"

"WHY YOU!"

"Uncle! Where"s auntie?" Lucia quickly asked on the side.

"Oh! My wife"s upstairs! You kids just came at the right time! Your aunt"s still fixing lunch so wait a bit alright?"

"I"ll head upstairs and help out then!" Lucia quickly turned around and dashed up the stairs.


"Ohoho~ a meal made by my lovable niece... it"s been awhile!"

"It"s only been a month..." Cecil retorted.

"Oi, you... can"t you at least act a little bit more lovable like Lucia?"

"Heh."

"Pfft..." Fina involuntarily snickered.

Eli and Velicia also started giggling. Only Ainz was foolishly staring at the two old and young men bantering together.

The mood was good so Cecil brought up the reason why they came.

"Gramps, our party just hunted a demon hawk king and we were able to secure an abundant amount of top quality materials from it. Think you can craft something good from it?"

"Heh! So this is the reason why you came back huh!" Radon said dismissively.

"Oi, Cecil!" Ainz called out.

"Well, whatever. Lemme see it." Radon waved his hand.

"Alright, come on guys. We"ve got that demon tree wood, so let"s leave it to Radon to craft something good for us."

"...is... is it alright? We"re not being a nuisance are we?" Fina asked worriedly. She didn"t want to be too imposing to the kingdom"s number one blacksmith. Since he was a famous blacksmith he was bound to be busy.

"No worries girly. If it"s a request from my niece"s friends then I"ll get it done in a jiffy!" Radon rea.s.sured.

"O-okay... Thank you very much uncle Radon!" Fina bowed. This prompted the other 3 to bow as well.

"WAHAHAHA~" Radon roared happily at Fina"s way of addressing him. He motioned for them to follow him up to his private smithy.

"So these kids are your party members huh?" Radon asked Cecil with a wide smile.

"...yeah. Our party, Little Kings, will surely grab the first place spot in the year-long tournament!"

"Haha!"

They quickly arrived at Radon"s private smithy and Cecil quickly took out the materials he harvested from the Demon Hawk King.

The 4 crown plumes, 180 iron-like feathers, 6 talons and the Hawk King"s beak. Last but not least the 10 tail feathers.

Radon exclaimed in surprise seeing the materials.

"Well, kid... you sure got one h.e.l.l of a harvest!"

"What can you make with these?"

"Hrmm... 4 magic robes from the 194 feathers... as for the beak and talons... I"d probably be able to create some knives, daggers, or even claws, but if you had some good quality wood I might just be able to create a staff."

"Wood? Veli! Take out the demon wood."

Veli quickly took out the cut up pieces of wood from the tree that grew the maroon demon fruits.

"Oh! Good quality wood alright!" Radon said while grabbing one of the large pieces of wood and inspecting it.

"Do you have the hawk king"s blood and monster core?"

"Here."

Cecil waved his hand and 10 vials of blood dropped onto the table as well as a basketball sized green monster core.

"Good, very good! I"ll go ask my enchanter friend to help prep the orb for me... by the way what kinds of runes do you want engraved on the staff"s body?"

"Here, use these. These are the ones that I was able to improve during my free time in the academy." Cecil plainly took out a scroll that was filled with his recent improvements on rune engravings.

"You never cease to amaze me boy!"

Cecil shrugged and began arranging all the materials into a neat order on the table.

"Alright, you kids can come again at the end of the week! I"ll have the robes and staff ready for you. By the way, who"ll be the one using the staff?"

"What element would the staff enhance once it"s finished?"

"Hmmm... judging by the monster cores type... I"d say wind and... Maybe earth and wood since the wood is greatly imbued with these two types of mana."

"Ainz, it"s for you then." Cecil said while turning his head to look at Ainz.

"What? Is that alright? I mean... we could just sell the staff for money y"know?!"

"Nah... Why let our water flow into another field?"

"What?" Ainz asked, puzzled.

"Never mind, you"ll use it since you"re the only pure mage in our party."

"...thanks."

"The robes will go to Fina, Lucia, and also to you too Ainz."

"What? But I"ve already got the staff?!"

"No worries man. We"re a party remember. Besides, the robes will probably enhance your wind magic to some degree as well as add better protection for you guys. I can"t use it since I"m the vanguard. Same goes for Velicia and Eli, right?"

"Yup~"

"It"s just as Cecil said... so just take the robe and staff gratefully Ainz." Eli said plainly.

"Don"t worry Ainz we"ll just deduct the cost from the monetary rewards that we"ll distribute later!" Fina said with a smile.

"...alright. Thanks everyone!"

"Ahem." Radon cleared his throat and gained the attention of everyone in the room.

"About the talons... what should I make? Daggers or what?"

Cecil eyed their only brawler in the party. "Make claws from them, we"re giving it to Veli."

"Eh? Me?"

"Yeah... it"s not like we could make daggers from the talons. I mean what for? We don"t have anyone in the party specialized in daggers... although I could use them, but I already have my sword and spear."

"O-okay then... eheheh~ thanks everyone!"

"It"s nothing. This is what you deserve Veli!" Eli smiled.

"Well, it looks like us two won"t be receiving anything this time Eli. Let"s wait for our next hunt." Cecil said.

"Okay."

Once everything was finalized, Radon began ushering everyone out of the room.

"Lunch is probably finished by now, so just head down to the dining room!"

"Alright." Cecil said and walked out of the room, everyone else bowed to Radon before following suit.

As they were heading down, Cecil pa.s.sed by the dining room and continued on to the ground floor.

"Hey, Cecil! Where are you going?" Velicia called out to him when she saw that Cecil had only pa.s.sed the dining room.

"One sec, I gotta go see Silver."

"Silver?"

"Hey guys~ food"s ready come and eat!" Lucia called out from inside the dining room.

The aroma of the food was pretty tempting and everyone walked into the room to begin lunch. Cecil returned to the dining room not long after.

Once the group finished their lunch they thanked the Ironforge couple and were just about to walk out of the smithy only to stop at the sight of the large white wolf slumbering on the floor, blocking the exit with its large 3 meter tall body.

"WHAT THE? A MONSTER?" Ainz said and quickly took out his wand from his spatial ring.

Fina jumped back and was prepared to cast an ice rampart only to see Lucia giggling.

"Hey, don"t be so alarmed! That"s Silvy!"

Silver, whose eyes were closed, opened them. His large blue eyes observed the 4 unknown people who were standing next to his master and mistress.

After sizing up the 4, Silver roared out powerfully.

"ROAARR!!!"

Silver"s roar made Fina and the other 3 flinch in response. Silver then yawned and his body started sparkling with light and a large magic circle formed underneath him, further illuminating his body.

Once the light died down from Silver"s spell, a small and chubby dog-sized wolf came walking towards the group.

"WOOF!" Silver barked cutely.

"..."

Silver"s new spell enabled him to readjust his body size. The current small sized, white furred and chubby Silver was his pet form. The previous large and majestic form was his battle form.

Cecil bent down and picked up Silver and he turned towards his party members.

"This is my pet dog and friend, Silver."

"HOW"S THAT A DOG?!" Ainz screamed while pointing at the small wolf currently in Cecil"s embrace.

Ainz was still a little shaken from Silver"s earlier roar. The girls however were currently eyeing the cute pet formed Silver with sparkling eyes.

"C-can I hold him? N-no, can I at least pet him?" Fina asked hopefully.

"Here." Cecil pa.s.sed Silver over to Fina and she smiled brightly. Fina began petting Silver and she rubbed her face into his fur.

"Waahhh~ so soft~"

"...c.r.a.p." Cecil looked away while covering his face with a hand.

"W-what"s with this cute thing?" Lucia exclaimed while hugging onto Fina.

Veli was crowding around the two, taking in Silver"s cute figure with curious, sparkling eyes.

"...Fina and that dog... what a deadly combi..." Eli said while she tried to tear her eyes from the cute spectacle.

"Like. I. Said. HOW IS THAT A DOG?!!" Ainz once again asked, but to his dismay, he was completely ignored.
