In some factory buildings, components that couldn't be produced with machinery were being carefully crafted by magic craftsmen. However, the magic craftsmen weren't making them entirely by hand. They were using various Magic Artifacts.
In other factory buildings, large quantities of Magic Artifact components were being assembled into complete Magic Artifacts.
"Impossible! I recognize the Magic Artifact in the Magic Image. It's the famous legendary equipment, the 'Earth Armor.' Its components are incredibly complex, and it takes multiple legendary craftsmen working together for many days to finish it! But now, these Earth Armors are falling out like... sheep dung, plopping down one after another. Absolutely impossible!" a demon dwarf shouted.
"Suye, put it away. There's a huge flaw in this Magic Image. For a legendary piece of equipment like the Earth Armor, Holy Domain craftsmen can't contribute at all, and even magical machinery won't help. Look at your Magic Image. There isn't a single legendary craftsman in it. There are not only Holy Domain craftsmen, but even gold-rank ones!"
"The Earth Armor is famous for its sturdiness, but in this Magic Image, armor plates are being manufactured in batches. Those plates are as soft as a succubus's breasts. How are we supposed to believe this?"
"What utter nonsense!"
The gods all voiced their opposition.
The Forging Master swept his gaze disdainfully over the indignant gods and said, "Fools! It's true that high-level legendary equipment like the Earth Armor can't be manufactured this way right now, but haven't you noticed that the legendary equipment Broken Light Shield, which wasn't difficult to manufacture but had a cumbersome process, suddenly began flooding the market several months ago?"
"That's true. I remember that several months ago, Supernova sold ten thousand Broken Light Shields all at once, at only seventy percent of the market price.
