274 Chapter 274

Right after Aldred cut their head, their soul was sucked in by his Phantom Doomblade, and he could feel it becoming stronger than before.

Aldred made his sword vanish and then he checked his loot.

[Advanced Magical Construct]

Aldred’s eyes lit up when he saw this skill book. “This is exactly what I need. I have leveled up the skill to level 3, but now with this skill book I can make an even more advanced magic artifact.”

[User, you can also combine this skill with Magic Blacksmith skill to create a powerful weapon]

‘Like what?’

[Anything. You can create any artifacts you want. Even the sky won’t be your limit]

‘Can I create a magic F-22 jet?’

[Yes]

‘A spaceship?’

[Yes]

‘A space station?’

[Yes]

‘A sex toy?’

[Yes…]

‘Oh wow! So something Death Star is possible as well? You know that moon-sized super weapon that can literally destroy a planet?’

[Anything is possible as long as you have the right skill, level, resources, materials, and knowledge]

‘Alright. I will try to learn to become a Magic Blacksmith then.’

Aldred flew back to his carriage, and all of his women checked if there was any wound on him.

“He’s fine,” Stella said.

Everyone sighed in relief.

“No need to worry about me. Anyway, I want to ask you all. Do any of you know about blacksmith?”

“I know a thing or two,” Mary said.

“I have seen a lot of blacksmiths in thousand years of existence in this continent,” Stella said.

“I know a few powerful ones,” Zafrina said. She was the daughter of a noble so of course, she knew someone.

“Okay, can you guys tell me how to become one?”

“I think you have to learn this craft by practice,” Stella said. “Out of all the blacksmiths I know, the great ones, all of them learned by practice. They might learn the basics through books, but they honed their craft by doing.”

“So, it’s like martial arts.”

“Yes, but blacksmithing focused more on the practical side since you have to learn it by doing.”

“I have learned blacksmithing before, isn’t that right, Mary?”

Mary nodded. “I don’t know how you did it, but yes, you do know some blacksmithing skills.”

“But it’s only the basic,” Aldred said. “I want to become a Magic Blacksmith.”

“Magic Blacksmith?” Ivette asked.

“A Magic Blacksmith is a combination of a magician and a blacksmith. To become one you need to have an affinity for magic, and you also have to learn the blacksmith craft as well.”

“So it’s like learning two things at one time.”

“Yes. Magic is already hard enough, if you add in blacksmithing, it becomes even harder,” Stella said, glancing at him. “But I don’t think it will be a problem for you.”

“I have something in my bag that might help you.” Zafrina pulled out a thick book from her hand-sized pouch.

Aldred touched the book and a notification came.

[Advanced Magic Smith]

Would you like to learn this skill?

‘Yes.’

[You have learned Magic Smith]

“This is awesome!”

As the carriage flew in the air, Aldred spend his time with his women and learning about smithing.

He pulled out a bunch of ores and smelt them with his powerful fire manipulation. He didn’t even need a furnace.

He created a bunch of mediocre weapons, but with the help of his godly eyes, he managed to create one low rare quality sword.

It wasn’t good, but it was a major leap in development.

His women could only smile when they saw his progress. Aldred was a prodigy. A terrifying prodigy. Even Stella, an existence that lived on this continent for more than a thousand years had never seen something like him before.

Soon after, they arrived at the shipyard.

“Finally we are back at the shipyard again. I cannot wait to look at our fleet,” Aldred said.

“Yo, I been waiting for you,” Tulban called. “Come with me.”

They all smiled and followed Tulban to a dock.

And that was when their eyes widened in shock.

In the main dock, a gigantic ship, the size of a cruise ship floated majestically on the water. She was like a floating island with numerous cannons and other weapons on her deck and hull.

Aldred didn’t even realize that he already considered the ship to be a ‘she’.

Accompanying the mothership were 19 cruisers, 22 destroyers, 16 frigates, 15 submarines, 4 gigantic cargo ships, and 30 speedboats!

Now compared to modern naval ships, they might not be comparable, but the ships did not need any skilled sailors to operate. It took years to train ship engineers and all of its staff that every staff worth their weight in gold.

These ships ran with magic, so it wasn’t as complicated. He could even put golems on the ship and there would be no problem.

“I cannot believe it’s finally done,” Aldred said.

“It took all of our manpower to quickly build this fleet, but I understand you are racing against time.”

“Thank you, Tulban. I will surely remember this.”

“Don’t mention it. Now go. Go out there and find the treasure. Don’t let the enemy get ahead of you. Also, I have a few experienced sailors on board your mothership just in case.”

Aldred chatted with Tulban for a few seconds before they all boarded the mothership. A sailor greeted them.

He was a man in his early twenties with short blonde hair.

“Good afternoon, Sir. My name is Burchard and I will guide you in controlling your fleet.”

“Hello, Burchard. I will trust your guidance.”

Burchard smiled at how polite and welcoming Aldred was. “Please follow me to the wheelhouse.”

The ship looked very similar to a cruise ship with buildings stacked upon each other, but these buildings were not for accommodation. They were for weapons. Gigantic cannons!

Just by looking at those cannons, one would understand the power and destruction they could cause to the enemy.

“I have to try shooting something with that later.” Aldred followed Burchard.
