Chapter 609 New Gun
Master Kaon and they had arranged for the time to pick up the magic gun custom-made by the young girl, which was today, half a month later. And before leaving in the morning, Irene also informed them that Kaon’s apprentice had specifically come to the castle to inform them in the early morning.
Last time, it was Azer who led them to the alchemy workshop where Master Kaon was located. Although Verafia was a bit lost and couldn’t tell the way, with Ig holding her little hand, they didn’t get lost.
In their ears, the roar of alchemy machines and the sound of steam mixed with the clanging sound of forging hammers. Ig pulled the girl’s soft little hand and walked closer to the gate.
It seemed that they had been instructed early by Master Kaon, who had a high status in the workshop. As soon as they entered, apprentices from the workshop surrounded them and brought them to Master Kaon.
The first thing they saw was Kaon, a blacksmith with white hair, still wearing the same clothes as before.
“Mr. Ig, and two young ladies, you are here?”
Kaon looked up and smiled. The fatigue on his face was visible, but his eyes were bright. Obviously, he had been very attentive to the gun commissioned by Verafia for the past half month and was extremely satisfied with the finished product.
“Master Kaon. Thank you for your care for the Young Lady.”
Ig stepped forward and bowed in greeting but was stopped by Kaon raising his hand.
Master Kaon waved his hand and smiled, saying, “It is my honor to forge weapons for Miss Verafia. That forbidden curse has been highly praised even by a Grand Mage of Saint Rank… It should be me who profited.”
Ig subconsciously looked up. Thinking of Master Kaon’s identity, knowing a Saint Rank mage in Kaol Alliance didn’t seem difficult. Was he secretly probing Veer’s identity with his words just now?
However, as Ig slightly turned his gaze, he saw that the beautiful little face of the girl he was gently holding had a look of anticipation, showing no worry at the moment.
“Veer isn’t worried… And when she wrote such a curse, she must have foreseen it.”
Thinking of this, Ig shook his head and smiled. The girl beside him was not just a beautiful but useless Young Lady. Since she didn’t care, what was there for him to worry about?
“However, Miss Verafia, why don’t you try it out yourself?”
Master Kaon made an inviting gesture. Not far away, an apprentice craftsman approached with a tray holding the silver-white firearm. Verafia slightly raised her big eyes, looking at the young man questioningly.
Ig rubbed her little head with amusement. “Veer, go ahead.”
Hearing his words, Verafia smiled happily and then joyfully ran to the apprentice craftsman.
Although the short gun’s design was slightly simple without complicated decorations, it was elegant and exquisite. Beautiful magic runes were engraved on the metal surface that flowed like moonlight. The slender and delicate design seemed to have considered that it was specially made for a beautiful young girl.
Verafia’s slender white fingertips paused slightly, then touched the surface that seemed to be touched by moonlight, picked up the gun, and held it in her small hand.
Even though it did not exist in Peka Kingdom and on the Agrand Continent, the magic guns of Aer Continent were ultimately just a different kind of “staff” made with special craftsmanship.
When not loaded with ammunition, a mage could still adjust it by injecting demonic power and activating the curse marks. For Verafia, although she didn’t have demonic power now, as the Goddess Princess, she still had many ways to use the curse she had written herself.
Ig stood at a distance, watching the faint magic light shimmer, slightly illuminating her smooth little face. The beautiful girl with golden hair and a white dress was happily playing with it in her hands.
Suddenly, her arm was lightly pulled. Ig turned his head, and Ophi darted to his side. “Hmm, Ig, haven’t you noticed that Verafia seems very happy?”
Happy? Of course, it’s like a little girl who just received a new toy.
But she was a noble Goddess Princess… If the girl were to establish a temple in the future and gain believers, would those believers be shocked to see her like this?
Ig thought amusingly in his mind and smiled at Ophi. “Perhaps it’s because the Young Lady finds it novel?”
Although he said that, Ig did feel a genuine joy from the girl’s expression.
After all, his Young Lady was the strongest swordswoman in the world in her previous life, and even in this life, she was reborn as the goddess of flame… No matter when it was, she had never been as weak and powerless as she was now, having to hide behind him when encountering danger.
Ig knew very well that although his Young Lady currently appeared to be a frail Young Lady who depended on him, his girl was actually a rather proud and arrogant young girl.
Always hiding behind him, she would naturally feel helpless and unhappy. The girl’s low mood during those days was related to this reason.
Therefore, without demonic power, being able to gain some combat strength by using the magic gun, Verafia would naturally be happy.
However, for Ig, he would rather the girl treat it as just a novel toy for a while… If she were to encounter any danger, even if he had to let the girl without demonic power stand by his side, pulling her white skirt and fighting in danger, that was something Ig would rather die than see.
Ig silently recited in his heart, then slightly shook his head and smiled, his eyes filled with the image of the girl under the white skirt.
“Miss Verafia’s mastery of magic is truly astonishing. Even though I am not proficient in magic, I can feel the active flame elements,” Master Kaon walked closer, his voice full of admiration. He also looked at the girl’s voice, and the glass lenses of his metal frame reflected slightly. “However, Miss Verafia seems to have never used her demonic power?”
This was probably Kaon’s probe.
Ig thought to himself but replied with a smile, “Perhaps, it’s just that this girl wants to test her attainments in elements?”
Seeing that Ig was unwilling to say more, Master Kaon chuckled and did not pursue the matter further. For the Count’s guest, he was merely curious.
“By the way, Master Kaon. In this workshop, do you know where Miss Ain is?”
Ig suddenly looked up and asked.
After Irene drifted to the Aer Continent, she also worked in this alchemy workshop to earn money for her ticket home.
After entrusting her with the End, they had met several times during the past half month, but they had only met the elf girl when she was free, and had never been to her workplace.
