Chapter 87: Weapons
Chapter 87: Weapons
The next morning, Ed woke up late. He sparred twice so he was very tired. After waking up, Becky informed him that all items that he requested were brought inside. The total sum of the items was 70.000 Gold coins. She tried to give the rest of the money back to Ed, but he refused.
"You can split the gold coins between the maids and butlers." The amount of money Ed had given them was very high, making him liked even more.
After settling everything, Ed headed to the basement's training hall. He requested, from Arthur, to be able to use for crafting and making pills, and potions. Ed summoned Gobuta, Goburou, and Garu. Garu could use Fire magic, so he and Raikou will be helping Ed to craft the weapons. As for Gobuta and Goburou, they would be training. Whenever one was tired, Ed would summon Suika. It was the same way they trained before.
Ed was going to spend a very long time in the basement, so he asked Becky to bring them food. He also asked for some disposable beds for him and Raikou. He was planning to stay there until he finishes. Ed was planning to make weapons for each one of his family and friends. Each one of them used different types of weapons. Arthur used sabers. Elizabeth double-edged swords. Eric long swords. Griffin didn't have any preference, and Bella used Katanas, same as Ed. He was also going to make weapons for the butlers and maids who could fight. Becky used Greatswords, while Sebas used simple swords.
Ed started forging. He was going to start with the personal weapons. He wasn't going to make the usual magic swords; instead, he was going to make weapons that work the same way as Shusui. Meaning that they would be able to enhance any skill, magic, or ability used. This was because Ed didn't want them to be limited to only their preferred magic. In case they fight someone that could nullify it, they would be powerless.
As for the potions and pills, Ed was going to make them in bulk. He was practically preparing a small army for war. All the potions were his trademark healing potions. while the pills had different effects. He made bone-healing pills, blood pills, etc. All of them were for specific types of healing.
Ed spent three weeks in the basement. Only stopping to eat and sleep. He finished one week ago, but he had some leftover iron, so he decided to make them some chainmail armor. Same as the one he has. On top of that, he made some iron gauntlets for those who fought with martial arts only. He remembered Ellie's battle style, so he got the idea. He kept one of them for Ellie. He felt that the next time he sees his friends; it would probably be on a battlefield, so he was planning to help them.
Ed's finished products were on his right, while the usual magic weapons were on his left. The personal weapons all had a silver-white color. But, when some type of magic was used they would change color. They would also get an aura of that type of magic. Ed's skill made it possible to use many magic abilities with these weapons, at the same time. All the finished products were Legendary grade.
Ed didn't plan on giving Bella and Oliver their weapons just yet. Instead, he made some normal weapons for them to use until they could master them. He would let Arthur decide the correct time for them to have these weapons. He also didn't forget about General Leonard, so he made him two Great-Swords of the same quality. With these weapons alone, Avalon kingdom's military strength shot up.
Ed asked Becky to gather all the people who had 'special' weapons crafted for them. Luckily for him, Leonard just returned from one of his trips. Usually, he and at least four Elders would be out of the kingdom unless there was a state of emergency. This time he was recalled because of the news of Blood sect.
Everyone present felt some attraction to the weapons. Ed explained to them how these weapons work. No one could utter a single word. Legendary quality weapons were very rare. Ed being able to produce them, and so many at once left everyone speechless. He gave everyone their weapons. Becky and Sebas were surprised because they also got their own personal weapons. Ed let Arthur store the rest of the weapons in his spatial ring. As for the medicinal items, Ed took his share, which he would need, and left the rest to Arthur.
Immediately after getting their weapons, everyone wanted to try it out. The basement which had been quiet for three weeks had more noise than a rock concert. Even Elizabeth, who Ed never saw training, was using her Double-Edged Sword. Every time she slashed, the sword changed colors. She was using different types of magic every single time. Griffin and Eric were sparring together, while Bella and Oliver were checking their weapons. Only to have Arthur take it away and give them the normal weapons.
Oliver didn't speak, but Bella threw a tantrum. "I want the weapon brother made me!" It seemed like she took a liking to the beautiful Katana as soon as she looked at it. However, her objections fell on a deaf ear, as Arthur was having none of it. Soon, Bella calmed down and simply took the normal weapon.
"Father I would like to speak with you" Ed spoke. Arthur knew Ed would be tired after so much time, so he decided to let him rest.
"Go take a shower and sleep. We'll speak tomorrow". Only now did Ed realize that didn't take a bath for three whole weeks. He felt embarrassed and left immediately. He was going to speak about his future plans. But there was still enough time before he leaves, so it didn't matter if it was only tomorrow.
Ed and all of his companions took a bath. Inside the hot water, they felt their exhaustion leave their body. This was especially true for Ed, Raikou, and Garu. Ed left the bath and went to sleep in his room. It was the most comfortable sleep he had in weeks.
