Chapter 99 - Crafstmen

Emma was slacked her jaw after Riku threw something in her hands. It had yellow-orange gleaming color and small brown color inside of it, at the same time, it was releasing a soothing heat.

At this point, she didn't know how she was going to express her feelings inside her chest. Her heart was rapidly pounding and still couldn't believe that this valuable item was easily given by this man.

"A-Are you sure about this, Riku? Are you really giving me this monster's core?" She stuttered and suddenly had an excited expression on her face when Riku smiled at her and gave his few nods.

Well, this was the only thing he knew to repay this woman for all the help she gave to him. On top of that, the first time Emma saw the monster's orb, he could easily tell that she wanted this stuff.

"Of course, Emma, you can have it. Aside from that, I don't have an idea what I supposedly in this monster's core." He responded, then walked towards the closet before adding. "I know if you have it; you can use it in something useful just like what you have said when we were the Assima Forest."

He remembered those words clearly. To put it simply, Emma spit that the monster's core could grant a certain to have an element ability which was the fire.

And all of a sudden, she embraced the monster's orb while looking at him with her glistening eyes. "Thank you, Riku! You're the best! I never thought that you will still give it to me after I said the purpose." She replied, couldn't help to push herself into a stood up position.

He chuckled, "You deserved that item, Emma. So hide it before I change my mind and take it back from you."

As she heard those words. She took some of the ripped blankets inside Riku's closet, after that, she used them to wrap the core and hide it in her pocket.

Of course, he was shocked by her reaction as he stopped and watched what she was doing. In his eyes, Emma was like a kid who received a special treat from their parents.

"You quite like that one, huh. However, just like our agreement, you should stay in our room and recovered your all strength. Yet, if you refused I won't hesitate to take it back." He said in a serious tone and ready to leave his room.

Although she was disappointed with their agreement, still, she was eager to have this monster's valuable core. "If you say so... But you can call me anytime if you need some help, okay?"

"Kay." He coldly responded as he was focusing his mind on creating the landmines.

To be exact, this was the first time he was creating a landmine so he was unsure if his invention would work well or not.

As soon as he opened the wooden door, he paused for a second and left a message for the woman behind him. "I already ask the maids here to give you some food. So stay here and don't do anything that can exhaust your body."

A beautiful woman left inside the wooden room, thinking why Riku so cared about her condition. Moreover, she was glad that someone was worried about her as she felt special for some reason.

"Thank you, Riku! I'm glad that I make the right decision to come with your journey in this perilous world! Also, good luck and take care with your invention!" She cheerfully yelled even though the wooden door was already closed.

Behind the thick wall, Riku could still hear a loud voice and the main reason why his eyes were softened. "She looks tough but the truth is she's a sweet woman."

He shrugged his shoulders, then took a deep breath to start his exhausting day with positivity.

Slap!

Slap!

First, he mildly slapped his face to awaken his senses. After that, he started to leave the Guest Hall and headed to the working station.

"I should do this right! All my plans in this world were suddenly changing their course for some reason. If I failed here, that's the time when I realised that I'm not suitable for this job."

Talking about his knowledge, he was confident that he learned a lot on Earth. But the thing was, there was a circumstance or profession that wasn't suitable for a certain person.

While traveling. In his mind were the materials he needed to create numerous landmines which were Potassium Nitrate, Sulfur, and Charcoal. Aside from that, was the metal where he put the gun powder and the spring he needed to trigger the explosion.

After a few were moments. He already reached the working station and saw five craftsmen respectively standing in front of him.

GOOD MORNING, SIR RIKU! WE ARE THE CRAFTSMEN ASSIGNED TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR INVENTION!

They greeted them at once and gradually bowed their heads.

He waved his hands at them along with a broad smile. "Thank you for your wonderful greeting!" He also bowed to greet them as well before adding. "Let's head straight. All of you are here to make me the last material I needed which is to craft metal."

He took something out of his pocket. It was a scroll and showed the drawing what was the exact metal they were doing. It was a rounded metal that had the size of 7-8 in diameter and 5-6 in height. For him, it was the right size of the landmines, at the same time, he knew if they built a small body it can make plenty of it in no time.

And again. Of course, the craftsmen were amazed by the images they saw on the scroll as it was their first time to see something like this.

He's really amazing!

We are making something with a measurement this is gonna be easy for all of us.

Even we are not starting yet. I'm already eager to see the result, at the same time, I'm too excited to tell this story to my future grandchildren. Your grandfather Alberto was part of the team who built the greatest invention in this world!

Those were the words of the craftsmen that were looked excited to do their jobs right away. Furthermore, springs rounded metals and the covered of it they were going to make.

To begin with. To describe the people in front of him. All of them were one hundred and seventy centimeters in height, on top of that, they had bulk bodies and their age was around forty or fifty plus.

"It seems all of you are here understood what we are trying to make. You can start right now, and I would like to thank you for the big help!" He bowed his head again at them to show his appreciation.

As soon as he spits these words, the craftsmen were now starting to do their jobs. They lightened up the fire where they were going to melt the metal and positioned the materials they were needed to perfectly form the metals.

The first metal was used for the storage of the gun powder, then he will put the spring and put the metal cover. In his mind, by doing this, he can ignite the gunpowder and create a strong explosion.

On the other hand, he entered the room where were the crashed materials located. Why he was doing all the mixture alone? It was just simple, he was the only one who knows of the right amount so to avoid the worst-case scenario that might happen he must do that job alone.

Why only five craftsmen he hired? His reason he can't teach all the craftsmen at once, at the same time, having numerous craftsmen would faster their job.

"After this day, I'll ask those craftsmen to each the others and have overtime here. We must hurry since we didn't know when is the right time the Rattin Kindom would attack the village."

He continued his job, mixing all the mixture and putting each one he made in a certain container. It was way easy since when craftsmen finished their jobs, they can effortlessly put the mixture inside of it and demonstrate it.

A couple of hours had passed. The craftsmen's sweat was dripping all of their bodies because of the too much heat given by the fire around them. Despite that, they can still smile and do their job that they didn't feel any kind of exhaustion.

Alas, the craftsmen entered the room where the inventor's precise location was located. In his grasps, was the equipment he needed to create the landmines.

Shining metals perceived by his eyes didn't expect the craftsmen here was way more skilled than he expected. "It's already done? Thank you so much! Really appreciated."

The Craftsman nodded his head at him along with a broad smile on his face. "Yes, sir Riku, it's done. Here."

Without making any second thought, he grabbed the metals and spring, then carefully put the mixture. "Ohh! Get the mannequin we are starting my invention right now!"
