Fresh from the Forge

"Doctor, has something happened?"

The door was opened directly, and although steam rose from the hot spring, Chiyome's figure could still be seen. Bai Mo quickly said it was alright and asked her to close the door.

"This incident has been quite stressful for me, but I'll feel better after a rest."

"I see. Mental well-being is indeed very important. In that case, you should get some rest. I'll take your clothes to the laundry room for you."

Before Bai Mo could refuse, Chiyome's figure vanished without a trace. It must be said that after mastering the Magnetic Field Power, Chiyome's movements and speed had increased considerably. It seems that she had received some guidance from Shiki during her time here.

"So there's a laundry room here? Oh well, she'll probably realize it's unnecessary if I don't go get it later."

Bai Mo reluctantly got out of the pool and casually created a set of clothes with his power. After returning to the bedroom, the screen separating the room from Shiki's was pulled open, and Shiki placed a small table in the partition, on which books were already laid out.

"Are you planning to go straight to sleep?"

I just took a nap, and I want to clear my mind first.

Bai Mo patted his head, seemingly trying to shake off the incarnations of Nyarlathotep and the creeping darkness from his mind. He sat down and looked at the documents, only to find that Shi had indeed brought some whimsical picture books.

Seeing Bai Mo's gaze, he silently picked up a book and began to read it.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"No, it's perfect, it just so happens to expose me to some harmonious things."

"I see. I was thinking of changing my appearance, hoping it might make things easier for you?"

With a wave of her hand, the white sleeve swept across her face, instantly transforming into that familiar girlish face. Seeing this familiar appearance, Bai Mo quickly waved her hand, shook her head with a wry smile, but she did feel a little relieved.

Shi seemed to enjoy it, revealing a mischievous smile typical of children, before turning back to her original expression.

The two treated it as a passing interlude; the fairy tale book in their hands, with its innocent yet profoundly philosophical stories, calmed Bai Mo's mind considerably. After a while, Bai Mo, having settled down, heard Shi's soft breathing.

She had already wrapped herself in a blanket and fallen asleep there. Seeing this, Bai Mo closed his book. He then noticed that previously there had been a screen separating their rooms, but now Shi was sleeping directly in the space between the screen and the bed.

"Mode?"

She was called softly, but there was no response. She usually sleeps until she naturally wakes up. Therefore, the screen could not be closed. This building had been decorated quite a bit, and it would be better to reassemble it with materials rather than reassemble it.

Shaking his head helplessly, he placed the pillow under her head and then went to sleep on the other side.

In the quiet night, the evening breeze rustled through the window and the trees in the yard, and Bai Mo could hear Shi Na's soft breathing. After a while, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, this time Bai Mo didn't encounter any octopus tentacles in the dream. He just chatted with Abigail about the picture book fairy tales he had just read. This time in the dream, there was only one more two-tailed black cat.

The next day, Bai Mo felt that his spirits had fully recovered, and now even when he recalled the existence of those Outer God, it was just ordinary memory. After he and Shiki and Chiyome finished making breakfast, they went out again.

"Go check on the progress of Hephaestus's weapon forging. If it's feasible, then we can reforge the Valkyrie ' equipment first. Although the previous forgings were sturdy, their fusion with Runes was somewhat lacking."

I don't know how long this thing will last. If we do find a way to dismantle it, we can try to understand its technology later. The development of Lostbelt is still a bit lacking, but it will definitely come in handy in the future."

Those Machine God are all genuine alien technology. Although those powerful beings also possess knowledge of the amazing black technology of the Martial God Era, it is basically created using strong Magnetic Field Power, which ordinary people cannot replicate.

What Bai Mo needs is knowledge that can bring technological progress to the world.

Magecraft, Magnetic Field Power, technology—only children make choices. If it's useful, then use it all.

As Bai Mo pondered this, he arrived in Northern Europe. At this time, on this land that was recovering from the devastation, one could already see the first signs of life, and some insects had already appeared. It was like spring arriving after the snow melted, and one could even see Sigurd fishing by the river.

They quickly arrived at Skadi's palace, and upon entering, they saw Ortlinde holding a book. Upon seeing Bai Mo, the girl immediately put down her book and warmly came to Bai Mo's side.

"You're here. Is the battle over? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing. It seems you haven't progressed further in your dragon transformation." Bai Mo looked at the books Skadi had given him and turned to ask, "It seems Skadi has high expectations for you."

"Yes, it's still a bit hard to believe that I, an ordinary Valkyrie, have become a commander or something... I need to work hard. By the way, we should celebrate after the battle. The weapon has just been forged, let's have a good celebration."

Ortlinde warmly embraced Bai Mo's arm and led him away.

"Is it okay to leave those tasks unattended?"

"It's alright, let's go."

Upon arriving at the valley where Hephaestus's remains lay, they found a considerable number of Valkyrie already gathered, all showing great interest in the creature. When Ortlinde arrived, all the Valkyrie exchanged subtle glances at the two of them.

Ortlinde's cheeks flushed slightly. Although Gungnir was obeying her orders at this moment, in front of her older sisters, she still seemed to be the youngest sister.

As Hephaestus's furnace slowly opened, Bai Mo instantly sensed an incredibly powerful Magnetic Field Power. This force wove itself into shape in a flash, as if it were alive.

It was a colossal beast, its body resembling a snake, incredibly thick, with a dragon's head, its entire body a deep, emerald green like a deep mountain pool. Its teeth were full of short blades, layered upon layered, its mouth seemingly reflecting a pool of spring water. Its giant hand opened its maw and immediately pounced towards Bai Mo.

The terrifying crisis created a suffocating pressure on the Valkyrie present, but it only lasted for a moment.

With a bang, Bai Mo waved his hand, dispersing the powerful force. At the same time, behind him, Ortlinde activated her Magnetic Field Power with her left hand and drew countless Rune Runes in the air with her right hand.

This seemingly living behemoth was blasted apart in an instant, yet a powerful magical force surged from within it, as if it were preparing to regroup and fight again.

"This energy is truly interesting. It's amazing that it can generate such a strong consciousness through the combined forging of magic and Magnetic Field Power."

Watching the green solidify again, transforming back into a terrifying behemoth, Ortlinde frowned slightly and said:

"It's better to eradicate such a consciousness; it's too brutal. Weapons created using the remains of magical beasts like Nidhogg Jormungandr inevitably become tainted with ferocity."

"No need to rush to deny it; it's just wreckage, it won't cause any big waves."

Ortlinde clenched her left hand, the Rune Runes combining with Magnetic Field Power to bind the tangible energy like chains. A glint flashed in her eyes as she said:

"Previously, due to the influence of the Magnetic Field Power, the dwarves changed their forging methods and created a new forging method. The Magnetic Field Power user infuses power throughout the process, and finally, the molten iron is supplemented with specific Runes and injected into the human body."

After circulating through the air, it can create extraordinary weapons powered by Magnetic Field Power. If the person injected with it is an ordinary human, they can also use weapons of that caliber after experiencing it.

The weapon that Sigurd used to fight those powerful Fafnir warriors was also based on this method.
