Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1264: Felicia's Other Apprentice

After finally eating our fill with all these tasty sweets and lots of chocolate pastries, we decided to depart. Auntie Felicia decided to bring us to one of her favorite Alchemy Equipment Manufacturers, leading us through the large, paved streets of Evercraft, we found ourselves in front of an old-looking and small smithy, it didn't look like a place where they mass manufactured the best alchemist equipment out there, but she said it was.

"This is the place, it's Redstone Smithy," she said. "An old friend that has been making the best alchemist equipment since years now. for you to know, Dwarves live approximately three hundred years, sometimes a bit more, or less. This old bark's already 283 years old, and still kicking and making the best items. I personally taught them a lot in the past, but their own techniques are of their own. They're one of my prideful disciples."

"Wait, we're meeting one of the disciples you had already?!" Celeste wondered.

"Hah, yes, three of them live here after all, they're all very old right now, this is another reason why I accepted to get new disciples," she said. "A few little years wouldn't be enough though... So once you learn the basics and some other advanced forms in our first two years, you'll have to come back in the near future to stay another year or two with your master, or you might never completely learn everything I can teach to you. I taught everything to my disciples through the course of fifty years after all, though with them, I did it nonstop. There were no breaks, hahah."

"I can't imagine being a disciple of someone for fifty years, unending tasks and everything..." Celeste muttered. "Sounds terrifying, to be honest!"

"Don't worry, we'll stretch it even longer now," Felicia laughed carefreely.

"I don't plan on wasting my whole life learning from someone..." Celeste complained.

"Well, Celeste, people never stop learning! Even as you become an old granny covered in wrinkles, you'll continue learning every day, from every experience," Felicia said. "Even now, at my old age, I always learn new things. My techniques are always evolving ever-changing, I create a new form of them almost every week. It is a constant refinement that never ends. It could be said that life is like that too..."

"Hmm..." Celeste shut up after Felicia said that.

I had to admit that Felicia had a really good patience, Celeste was a bit annoying sometimes, or overly blunt, but Felicia was even more blunt.

"Well, can we see mister Redstone then?" wondered little Celica.

"Yes, yes, let's go then," Felicia nodded.

With dad behind us, we entered the shop after Felicia knocked the door and then modified the doorknob to make it open for her using Alchemy.

Wow, I guess you can do that too with Alchemy, huh?

"Hello~"

Felicia stepped inside, as a wave of heat quickly hit us. Me and dad weren't really affected, but Celica and Celeste quickly tried to hide behind us.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

The sound of metal being beaten by a hammer reverberated across the smithy's interior, there was a huge chimney were many metals were being melted at the same time.

A person, a figure of small stature yet large, muscular body passed through the darkness, only illuminated by the flames.

Using their bare hands, they grabbed the liquid metal and started molding it as if it were clay, then, opening their mouths, they released a cold wave of winds, slowly making the metal cool down, which hardened it.

"Hmm~"

They were humming some sort of melody, as they continued their job. Grabbing, molding, and mixing the liquid metal with their bare hands, and then bringing it over the anvil. CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

Felicia didn't want to bother them, so we ended watching in silence, amidst the darkness of the room, only illuminated by the flames.

We didn't even know how they looked like, but their hands were big and rough, they were a strong blacksmith, very powerful.

Their Aura... it was someone at least at Tier 7, not an ordinary citizen at all, but someone comparable to our town's Knight Commander?!

For minutes, we just watched. Nobody complained, the art and craft itself was incredible and insane, it flipped over its head our own understanding of how things could be created.

Once they were finally done, they gave the thing they made its last touches. It was a small Alchemy tool, a series of metallic tubes interconnected together.

Using this, it is possible to easily mix different liquids to create different effects without making everything a mess in the cauldron.

I didn't know such basic items required such level of craftsmanship...

"Dear, are you done?"

Felicia's voice echoed behind the person, as they quickly screamed in surprise.

"Uwaah! Master?! Why are you here? You came out of nowhere again!"

They quickly stood up, with a single wave of their hand, the entire smithy was illuminated.

And we were able to finally see how they looked like.

And damn, it was not a man as we thought.

She was indeed a dwarf, not taller than one meter and a half, but damn she was packed with

muscles.

Was she really a granny?!

Her arms were huge, muscular and strong, we could even see her six pack biceps there, hard as steel, her face looked slightly old, yes, but it still carried a youthful charm to it.

Her long, silvery-white hair clearly showed her age much more, and her arms were also covered on tattoos of all kinds of things. Her glossy brown skin was covered on sweat.

Her fiery orange eyes looked at us with interest, raising an eyebrow.

Ah, I hated to admit it, but this dwarf granny was hot, quite figuratively and literally.

"Sorry to bother you today, Ralgana!" Felicia said. "I just brought with me some new disciples! Oh, and the Hero of Blazing Blade. I remember you said you were interested in meeting "such a stud" one day, right?"

Felicia smiled, looking at Ralgana's face.

"Eh?! W-What are you saying?!" Ralgana covered her face in embarrassment as she noticed my dad was there, looking at everyone confused. "That was a while ago! You haven't changed at all through all these years, I see!"
