The Over Lord: Rise of the New Lord
Dig a hole

Looking at Erza's face that was soaked in sweat, Raynor gave her a cloth to clean up, during those five hours they were both not just tired of bumping up the manual fan tool, but they were both tired, but it also holds the heat in the room.

"Are you okay Erza ?." Asked Raynor when he saw Erza's limp face.

"For now I can still survive, this job is excruciating." He answered with a bitter smile.

"But you should know that if this isn't finished, we need to form all the metal ores to become slabs and then start shaping them into weapons."

"I get it, but for now I want to take a break."

"Yes of course, because this job will take quite a long time."

Erza and Raynor walked out of the hut to breathe fresh air, after lingering heat of course the shady atmosphere and the wind that passed through the leaves of the tree was so comfortable.

A long sigh was let out by Erza, she did not look regretful for the purpose of making decent money even though it was very tiring.

"Now I realize why you don't like bandits." Erza.

"Of course, everyone works hard, they hang themselves in a job that is only sufficient to meet the needs of their families, and the bandits easily seize their property, as if no matter the fate of others."

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing to me." Raynor.

"I feel guilty."

"As long as you don't do it again, that's enough."

A little time for Raynor and Erza to rest, while Sania invites Sisha to play around the cottage before doing the next session.

"Both of you, don't play too far, dangerous, there may be demonic beasts around here." Shouting Raynor.

"Just calm down, uncle." Sisha returned Raynor's screams.

"You don't have to worry I'll take care of Sisha, Ray." Sania answered him.

Having to win there was nothing to worry about because there was Sania guarding Sisha, even if meeting a demonic beast, they were the ones who had to worry about having to deal with Sania.

Raynor stood beside Erza, they enjoyed the cool atmosphere with the water that Raynor brought to unwind.

But all did not last long, because their work still remains one process in today and after completing it then they will go home.

"All right, let's start over..."

"Ehhh, I still want to rest." A little Erza complained.

"Hey Erza, I pay you well enough, at least get excited because the energy you use makes money."

"All right, I understand."

As if looking lazy, Raynor pulled Erza's hand, he could feel the previously soft skin now feels rough because it is long enough to ramp up the fan tool manually.

Touching each other and Raynor did not intend to let go of his hands, of course it had made Erza embarrassed, the presence of this one man was clearly different from the man when he was in the gang of bandits Tegalasa city.

Although Erza had long been clustered with the rough men, she could not hide the red facial expression she had turned away when avoiding Raynor's gaze.

Nervous Erza who tried to forcefully pull her hand...."What are you doing, let go."

"Don't worry, I don't intend to break your hand." Answer Raynor.

"Not about that, but...."

Erza was surprised, she had previously felt a little pain because she had not done rough work for a long time, now healed after being rubbed by Raynor, including fatigue in her wrists.

"How did you do it." Erza said as if in disbelief.

"Just a little ability to treat wounds."

"But isn't the science of medicine a special energy that not just anyone can do."

"And I'm one of those people." Arrogant enough for Raynor to answer.

Many things Erza did not understand about Raynor, he was a man full of secrets, not only experts in martial arts, but the science of medicine was able to be done by him.

Back to their main job.

After the metal ore was collected, Raynor prepared to melt all the metal ores into a large slab.

This is a much heavier job than making space rocks soft, because the heating process will be longer and must use a hotter fire as well.

"So Mr. Lamo, what should I do now?, are we burning on the cauldron like before." Asked Raynor.

"No, it'll be a long time, it could even be a whole day to melt this metal."

"Wantas how sir ?."

"First you dig a hole." Mr. Lamo's orders.

"Holes, what's it for ?."

"Already do it, because this will be an effective way of smelting metal ores."

"Good sir." Raynor could not resist because he was currently studying.

Raynor was confused by Mr. Lamo's purpose in giving the order to make a hole, and without bothering to think about the reason he immediately took the hoe.

With the physique of a martial expert the soul mastery level of Raynor's strength when hoeing the ground was extremely light, without needing much time it was all finished in an instant.

"Now you place the fire energy stone under the hole, and put the cauldron in it."

"Good sir."

Raynor seemed to understand, the way that Mr. Lamo used this was to speed up and facilitate the smelting of metal, where Raynor had to place the cauldron in the hole because Mr. Lamo wanted to burn the cauldron from above, so he wanted to burn it, down and all sides.

A proof that the combination of experience and science can be a great ability that is impossible to have by an amateur.

If Raynor already had strength at the god level and was cultivating a power change in to an element, just the strength of a high-level fire element was enough to fuse a metal as hard as platinum.

But for now, burning like master Lamo's teaching is the way Raynor can do it.

In less than five hours, the metal ore had already melted completely, this was much faster than burning when it was still in stone form.

(If anyone thinks, why not use this method from the beginning of combustion, it is faster. That's because the second combustion requires a much hotter temperature, so that when the space rock gets a stronger heat, the metal in it will melt and mix with the molten rock.)

A crate of dry sand has been prepared, the mold box is formed and little by little metal liquid is taken to Raynor pour into the mold.

"For now we just have to wait until the metal is cold, so we can go home and do tomorrow's forging." Said Mr. Lamo felt enough with the job today.

"Good sir." Raynor gets ready with all his equipment.

Doing the process of smelting space rocks already felt exhausting, even for someone like Raynor who was at the late stage soul formation level. But on the other hand, he was completely satisfied that a weapon made of prestige metal would be very comparable to his hard work now.
