CH.152 What to Specialize in

“So, what kind of fighting styles do you two use?” The dwarf lady asked. “And what kind of weapons do you use?”

“I’m a mage.” Alice said as she pulled her staff out of her fanny pack. She doesn’t actually use it in combat, as the treant staff isn’t ready for use yet, but still.

“I ... I’m a summoner. But I sometimes also fight on the front lines.” I said.

“A summoner, eh. I see. Fighting alongside your beasts. It is the popular style.” The dwarf said. “What weapon do you use?”

“Oh right. This.” I said as I pulled my mithril sword out of my fanny pack.

“An arming sword. May I take a look at it?” The dwarf asked.

“Sure.” I said and handed it over.

She pulled the sword out of the scabbard and looked at it.

“Mithril. Well made. Enchanted. Light attribute, I believe.” She listed some of the sword's abilities just by holding it in her hand. “Who made this?”

“It’s from a dungeon.” I answered.

“I see. I thought it might be.” She said as she sheath the sword.

“Thought? But still asked about the maker? Why would you even think it is dungeon made?” I asked.

“That.” She said and pointed at my duel disk. “It’s orichalcum, isn’t it?”

... is it? I have no clue. Laura. (Is that true?)

(Yes. It is made of orichalcum.) Laura confirmed.

“... I think it is.” I said, not confirming or nor denying the claim.

“I thought as much. It’s a dungeon master’s terminal, right?” She asked.

“Why would you think that?” I asked.

“There are only two places that I know of where you can get orichalcum and I highly doubt that you would use the other, so you must have gotten it from a dungeon when you were made a master. I know some dungeon masters can transform their terminals, so something like that is doable for them.” The dwarf said.

She seems to know a lot about this stuff. Of course she is somewhat wrong, as I got it when I became the founder, but founder and master aren’t that different.

(Yes they are.) Laura said.

(Doesn’t matter at this moment. Both founders and masters have a terminal.) I said back.

Actually, if a master can alter their terminal, perhaps Christina can alter hers. Maybe if she gets enough favor with the dungeon or something. Even mine got improved from the DiaDhank to an actual duel disk. Perhaps Christina can eventually make hers into a DiaDhank or a duel disk.

“Well, you are correct, but does it matter?” I asked.

“No. No it doesn’t. But I was wondering about the shape. And these pictures on it.” The dwarf said.

“It helps with my summonings.” I said.

“I see. So a shield would be unusable for you as you need this on your left arm.” The dwarf deduced.

“No, I actually have a shield already.” I said.

“Oh, you do? May I see it?” The dwarf asked.

I checked the size of the shop. It isn’t small, but there are swords and pieces of armor everywhere, so I might not want to summon a giant shield here.

“Is something the matter?” The dwarf asked. “You don’t have to show me the shield if you don’t want to.”

“No, it’s just... it won’t fit into the shop.” I said.

“What!? What kind of shield do you use?” The dwarf asked.

“If we go outside, I can show you.” I told her.

The dwarf led us outside the shop. We were going to the backyard, but as she didn’t want to disrupt the workers in the back, she led us out the front door and around the building. On doing so, we passed the place where I had left Overdrive.

“Whose carriage is this?” The dwarf wondered as she looked at Overdrive.

“Mine actually.” I said.

“Yours? I didn’t think dungeon masters are paid that much. I’m in the wrong business.” The dwarf said.

“Well, I didn’t exactly buy it. It was more like a gift.” I said. A gift from my skill.

“Millennium Shield.” I summoned my shield. The backyard wasn’t large, but there was more than enough space for my shield.

I had my fairies that had been sleeping on Paulina’s lap wake both themselves and Paulina up. Honestly, there has to be a more gentle way of waking someone up than pulling their ears. At least they weren’t pulling her hair out.

“Good ... I was going to say morning, but it is actually evening.” I said to Paulina as she was waking up.

“...what? Where?” She was muttering.

“You are sleeping in my car. And we just got back to the manor. So let’s head inside. I think it’s about time for dinner.” I told her.

As we got out of Overdrive, I saw two maids walk out of the manor to welcome us.

As dinner wasn’t ready to be served yet, I was going to take this opportunity to use my other copy of Lighten the Load for four more pack tokens.

The tributes for that card were two copies of St. Joan, one Suijin and one Humanoid Worm Drake. They were all extra copies, so I don't mind getting rid of them.

(So, Laura, about this idea you spoke about earlier. What cards do we need for it?) I asked Laura. I have four pack tokens, so if I’m lucky, I’ll get what I need.

(You already have everything you need for the first idea I have.) Laura said. (But a second copy of Different Dimension Gate from Dark Crisis might be necessary for the second idea.)

(Okay. Dark Crisis it is then.) I decided.

(It is also in Dark Revelation Volume 1, so we could use the toploader Good Goblin Housekeeping and go for that instead.) Laura said.

(Oh. Nice call. Let’s do that instead.)

“Good Goblin Housekeeping.”

[Daily Pack Tokens: 16][Daily Reprint Tokens: 6][Current Pack Tokens: 4][Current Reprint Tokens: 0] You can transfer up to 5 tokens and 1 daily token per one use.

Okay. Let’s move those tokens over. And I guess I’ll transfer one more daily token as well while I’m at it.

[Daily Pack Tokens: 15][Daily Reprint Tokens: 7][Current Pack Tokens: 0][Current Reprint Tokens: 4] You can transfer up to 5 tokens and 1 daily token per one use.

Now, four packs of DR1 let’s go!

Well, no Different Dimension Gate, but there was some decent stuff. I still need to test out Spell Shield Type-8. Having another X-Head Cannon is nice. But other than that, it is mostly just meh.

(Now back to this idea of yours.) I went back to Laura. (What is it?)

(First, we take Dark Factory of Mass Production. Then we install Different Dimension Gate into it. And then install that card into you, Master.) Laura said.

... excuse me, What? Install a spell into a spell and install that spell into me?

(Is that safe?) I asked.

(As far as I know, it should be.) Laura said.

(... well, I’ll at least do the first part.) I agreed with her.

I took Dark Factory of Mass Production and Different Dimension Gate from the collection.

(Dark Factory is the host card, right?) I confirmed.

(Yes. Install Different Dimension Gate into Dark Factory of Mass Production.) Laura confirmed.

“Install.” I did as she instructed.

The cards shined brightly and combined into one card.

The resulting card was Different Dimension Factory.
