Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9)

After all the effort I put into extracting mithril, all I got in return was being told that not even dwarves could melt it.

That was the best way to describe how I felt at that moment.

Mountain after mountain.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

The moment I heard that, a deep sense of emptiness hit me, but I barely managed to pull myself together.

[WildGrills: Explain it to me a little more. alien Is it really just because it has a lot of mana?]

I don’t know what kind of structure this damned mithril has, but it seems I need an explanation.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[DwarfPassingBy: Yes. artist It’s difficult to melt, and even if you do melt it, a normal furnace can’t withstand it.]

[WildGrills: And why? attic I need to understand it before I can accept it. attic It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that this is the situation.]

I carefully read the dwarf’s explanation.

[DwarfPassingBy: I understand what you’re saying. shadow Normal metals….]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

The amount of mana in normal ground isn’t that high, so there’s no problem putting those metals into a furnace.

But the deeper you dig underground, or in places like the Forest of Four Seasons where the mana in the earth is abnormally abundant, the situation changes.

According to him, most metals remain buried underground and naturally absorb mana from the earth.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

The minerals extracted from those places usually contain extremely high concentrations of mana, making special furnaces necessary.

He explained that using a normal furnace instead of a special one would create a risk of explosion.

[WildGrills: And what the hell are those special furnaces made of?]

[DwarfPassingBy: Anything becomes a bomb if you forcefully compress it into a confined space and then it explodes. adopt And mithril would obviously go flying too.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: What kind of inefficiency is that?]

[DwarfPassingBy: The furnace is bigger than an entire mansion, human!;; Besides, since they’re not used that often, governments are the ones that manage them.]

[DwarfPassingBy: They’re just furnaces that consume absurd amounts of mana. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com ]

[WildGrills: Can’t a person own one personally?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Sorry.]

[DwarfPassingBy: Do you think our dwarven technology is a joke? atomic Do you even know how advanced it is?]

There was nothing I could do.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

On top of that, he had said it was much bigger than a mansion.

Building a normal furnace was already insane, and now they were talking about a special furnace.

All I could do was sigh.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Building one was completely out of the question.

I needed to find a solution, but no suitable method came to mind.

At this rate, the mithril I worked so hard to extract would end up useless.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[DwarfPassingBy: That place is overflowing with mana from the start. alien That’s why I’m telling you to try.]

[WildGrills: Didn’t you just say it could only be done with a special furnace?]

[DwarfPassingBy: Then try making it yourself. amateur Since you’re in the Forest of Four Seasons, it’ll be practically the same as working normal metal for you.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[DwarfPassingBy: It’s a solid block of mithril. athlete Just heat it in a forge and hammer it. palette If you want to use molds, then yes, you’ll have to build a furnace and melt it.]

[DwarfPassingBy: Is your head really made out of an anvil?;; It explodes when its form changes because the mana bursts outward. alert I realized it when I was about to melt it because I was in a hurry to make it. avalanche If I’d taken longer or kept hammering it, I’d be in the hospital right now.]

[WildGrills: That doesn’t make any sense. august Didn’t you say earlier that I needed a special furnace?]

[WildGrills: I don’t know how to make furnaces.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[DwarfPassingBy: How sad, seriously. arch I just wanted to get it to you quickly because I felt sorry for you. apple And you don’t even understand other people’s feelings….]

[WildGrills: Sorry;; Is there anything you want?]

[DwarfPassingBy: Give me a crab shell and that’ll do. galaxy Haha.]

[WildGrills: Ah. album Now I understand.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Damn it…;; Alright.]

Giving him a crab in return was the least I could do.

After all, he had taught me something extremely useful.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: You mean the true metal? august I still have it with me.]

I finished the conversation with the dwarf and notified the registered users to whom I had given mithril.

It was essential to do so, if only to prevent accidents.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Thank goodness. zenith They say it could explode while making equipment from it. armor Could you return it to me?]

[HeavenlyDemon: Could it be because the amount of qi contained within the true metal is too great?]

[HeavenlyDemon: It is a simple matter. silence Had I followed my desires, I would have already absorbed it, but I thought it would lose its essence, so I waited.]

[HeavenlyDemon: May I expect anything from it?]

[WildGrills: If you return it to me, I’ll forge a sword for you myself.]

[WildGrills: Huh? artist How did you know?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[HeavenlyDemon: I like your honesty. accent I will not have expectations, but I shall wait. acquire After all, any weapon suits me.]

I recovered the mithril I had given to HeavenlyDemon.

[WildGrills: Thank you.]

[WildGrills: Mmm… no? zenith It could take quite a while.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[WildGrills: Even so, please be careful.]

[WildGrills: I’ll ask. portal He says carving is fine.]

[SunForEver: Then it can’t be worked even through carving?]

[SunForEver: Then I’ll keep it. alert I want to use it to make a ring.]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

On the other hand, carving or sculpting it while keeping it in its original state presents no problem.

SunForEver decided to keep it.

When I asked the dwarf, he explained that the risk of explosion appears when the material changes state.

‘Makes sense. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. orbit Otherwise, it would be like carrying a bomb around.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Because if the metal reaches a temperature high enough to deform, a person would have died long before that point.

Why?

Even if heat is applied and its shape changes slightly, there is no problem.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

‘Thank goodness I don’t have to do everything myself.’

According to the dwarf, he could handle sharpening the edge for me.

I continued gathering information and then closed the gallery.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

‘Although the problem is that I’d have to build a furnace.’

All I had to do was flatten the mithril.

And if that didn’t work, I could simply obtain a mold and pour molten mithril into it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Every option had very clear advantages and disadvantages, so it was inevitable to keep thinking about it.

Besides, it’s not as though a mold can withstand the temperature of molten metal forever.

In the worst case, the furnace that took so much effort to build could end up melting.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I’ll worry about the mithril tomorrow.

When I went up to the river, I found two fish caught in the traps.

No matter what happens, food is still important.

‘First, I’m going to eat.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

‘What if I try cutting them with mithril?’

As always, I was about to start cleaning them when something occurred to me.

Not bad.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Among them were a few that were quite sharp.

How well does mithril actually cut?

The mithril fragments that had broken off during mining.

With that expectation in mind, I opened the fish’s belly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Swoosh—

Exactly that.

Even though I hadn’t sharpened it yet, I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

The sensation was similar to a dagger.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

So I tried using aura.

‘Will it be different if I use aura?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Even with a small amount of mana, the aura burned like a flame.

And to my surprise.

I thought perhaps I had simply become stronger, so I infused aura into a normal dagger.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

The results were similar.

But the difference was obvious.

To verify it, I also tested other tools.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

That alone was enough to explain it.

They required far more mana than mithril to achieve the same performance through aura.

The energy efficiency was incredible.

‘So that’s what it was.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

‘It’ll be a huge help in long battles.’

And because it was mithril and not orichalcum, I could be certain.

That was probably what the dwarf meant when he said its performance would be excellent.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

But the reality is that mana—or rather, aura—is an extremely inefficient technique.

Unless it takes on a defined form like an Aura Blade, the fact that it burns like flames makes it obvious to anyone just how inefficient it is.

With the exception of the Orichalcum Guardian, I had never run out of mana.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

‘So it isn’t completely useless after all.’

It could greatly accelerate my training.

It might even be more efficient than the Heavenly Demon Sword.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

And this mithril raised that efficiency to absurd levels.

It was practically an essential item.

For someone like me, whose priority is survival, efficiency is one of the most important factors.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Perfect.

Its performance is comparable to steel, but it weighs much less.

I’ll have to make a lot of tools with it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I’ll just have to work much harder.

There’s nothing I can do about that. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

‘Although mining is still a problem.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I planned to continue digging there tomorrow.

I finished dinner, cleaned everything up, and prepared to sleep.

I left the excavated area exactly as it was.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

There’s always a chance that some thief might show up during the night and steal something.

After getting everything ready, I entered the gallery.

‘I’ll keep the elixir above my head.’

The sloth would probably wake up and stop them, but it’s better to be safe.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I was simply curious whether anything had happened.

‘Tomorrow will be exactly day fifteen.’

I didn’t have anything particular to say.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Tomorrow I planned to bring the orichalcum from the cave, receive the crystal orb that would serve as a CCTV system, and, while I was at it, make progress on building the furnace.

As for the structure, I could just ask the dwarf.

Too many things had happened in those two weeks.

And today, to top it all off, the gorilla chief had given me a monumental beating.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I’d finish those two and another five would show up.

I would finish one task and two more would appear.

‘I have too many things to do.’

The mithril situation was especially troublesome.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I needed to clear my mind.

It could only be processed inside the Forest of Four Seasons.

With mixed feelings, I continued browsing the gallery.

But then I realized it had been posted by a registered user.

While browsing, a post caught my attention.

At first, I thought it was just another bait post.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

The name sounded familiar.

‘Who is this?’

Curious, I opened the post.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Now that I thought about it, I had forgotten about this.

(Photo showing the leather shoes remaining intact even after water was poured on them)

They were photos of shoes.

(Photo showing the shoes resisting knife cuts)

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I had promised to give an adult Mandrake to whoever could get me a good pair of shoes.

But none of them had completely convinced me.

As soon as I announced it, several people uploaded photos.

There was even one guy who tried to scam me. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Besides, the shoes gifted to me by the dwarf’s friend had already eliminated most of the competition.

According to everyone, competing against a dwarven master craftsman was completely pointless.

I gave him a nice insult and ended the matter there.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

This user was different.

‘But this person…’

He had continued working hard even after all this time.

I liked those shoes so much that I stopped paying attention to the matter.

└How many times are you planning to hit him? academy Damn, hahaha.

└B-boss…;; I-I think that’s enough…;;

(Video of a person wearing the shoes while someone repeatedly strikes their foot with a huge hammer)

Of course, if the result had been mediocre, I would have simply ignored it.

└Or maybe he’s just silently enduring it hahaha.

└But he hasn’t screamed even once. armor They really do seem durable hahaha.

He had sacrificed his own body to prove the product’s performance.

And that was precisely why I trusted them more.

Although I was speechless for a moment, I quickly wrote a comment.

I thought we needed to talk privately, so I sent him a message.

Despite his dry way of writing, he seemed like a passionate person.

└IWillBeADuke: That is possible.

└WildGrills: I’ll send you a message in a moment.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

[IWillBeADuke: Correct.]

I’ve seen the shoes. antique You need an adult Mandrake, right?]

[WildGrills: Hello, IWillBeADuke.

I liked him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

He urgently needed an adult Mandrake.

[IWillBeADuke: No. abandon The only thing I urgently need is an adult Mandrake.]

I could feel the desperation in his words.

[WildGrills: Don’t you need anything else?]

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Someone close to him was probably suffering from an illness.

‘He inspires confidence.’

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense to reject everything else and obsess solely over an adult Mandrake.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Tomorrow would be day fifteen.

I told him I would send the adult Mandrake the next day and closed the gallery.

Both the video and the messages showed that he was a reliable person.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Build the furnace, trade with IWillBeADuke.

There were too many things to do.

And I also planned to consume the inner core.

‘The Guardian won’t wake up while I’m sleeping, right?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

Except for the minor detail that the entire area I had worked so hard to excavate had been completely restored.

I didn’t want to enjoy this endlessly, but it seemed I was going to be forced to.

Fortunately, nothing like that happened.

“Ah. aluminum What the hell? antique And now this?”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 117: Welcome To… (9) by Indra Translations.

I didn’t even know what kind of monstrous abomination that was.

‘Is it a planarian?’

A mithril planarian.
