~Sword’s PoV~

I see why the practice for making metal cloth was lost. Not only is it extremely hard to do It costs a too much mana to make, and on top of that you can only make it with a certain forge meant for making only it.

Honestly if i was still a craftsmen on my old world and had the knowledge to make this stuff i wouldnt do it anyways.There is no extra defense provided to it. Its harder to infuse enchantments because you have to sow it into the cloth, which is really hard to do seeing as how one error causes you to have to restart the whole piece over again.If you had that all up it would take months to make shirt.The only benefit this provides is that is can make any metal flexible as cloths,But it doesnt even reduce its weight.

But im not alive anymore, I can summon any ore i need and to top it off the goddess of wisdom even gifted me with the forge to make it,but that came at a price.It seems she caught on to my plan and she had me swear that i would make a acceptable weapon for the roommate,So i cant make a butter knife like i planned. I was out played.

Since i didnt have enough time to make a full set of metal cloth clothes i had to improvise. Only one arm will have metal cloth. The other arm will be have another style of armor smithing that i learn. It basically focuses on join movement allowing the wearer to move limbs freely but not to the level of the metal cloth.

The plan is to have the cloth be on the arm that wields me and the free movement plate armor will be on the other. It will also be were the symbol of the goddess of the hunt will be located. Its also going to hold more defensive enchants i have a few plan’s.

While the other arm will have illusion enchants. Since im at my most powerfully when im being drawn the enchants that would be on not only make it hard for people to follow that arm’s movements it creates actual illusions of the sword being drawn.Naturally the illusions can't do any physical damage but its purpose is for mental damage.

(author notes:Spoiler : You know like in anime when a character says he can see your move before you even make it. and it shows a sorta transparent figure doing the move that person will make. sorta like that but Laura won't actual be making the move it messes with the mind.

As for what the symbol of the goddess would be i had a hard time picking it. Now you would think it would be easy, owner is of the white wolf tribe so wolf symbol pretty easy right, no. If it was a deer i could put symbol based enchants, those are imagery enchantments. Its a advance form of rune enchant that takes the image and assimilate it as types of magic based on the image. So if it was a deer then you could get a few different based enchants like threat sensing,increase speed,etc.

But if it was a wolf it would give the feeling of a pack mentality so more of her tribe around her the stronger she gets and so on. But the problem lies in that, owner is alone. Her tribe wasnt around her and from what i could tell from her conversation they abandoned her.

It took me awhile but i found a loop hole. On this planet theres a monster called the white wolf. Now this wolf is a solitary hunter and is infact the bases of the prejudice that beastmen actual come from beast’s. Since the white wolf tribe well white wolf’s. But its false the white wolf monster although has alot of intelligence would be impossible to be the ancestor’s of the white wolf tribe.

Mainly for the fact of 2 things. 1 there gender-less and to unless killed they are immortal so they have no need to find family / mates. It was rumored the goddess of the hunt created the beast to be hunted by herself. It is practically impossible for a mortal to track this beast it is that well at covering it tracks. But the species is extinct now. No one really knows what happened. Thus sprouting the rumor that they became the white wolf tribe.

So i decided to carve in the shoulder the head of the white wolf clad in lightening. Usually this would be impossible to directly at a element in imagery enchantment’s due to the strain on the rune by the number of possibility meaning to the image thus overloading the rune making it null and void.

But as i said they symbol will have the wolf face clad in lightning.Thus only leaving a few possibilities that the image could mean. If this goes as planned the owner will be able to use the enchantment to clad the arm covered in hard metal in lightning. And get the benefits of the white wolf which would give buff’s of the wolf even though owner would be alone.

But i didn't know what to do for the chest-piece or had the time to work on a chest piece fully enchanting it. So the armor is only going to cover owners upper chest and arm’s. It is a rather unique type of armor and i dont even think it has a name.

I began to work. I started to work on the plated armor arm first. I summoned the materials to make strengthen quick silver. Its a special metal that can only be made here. It basically will retain the same look of quick-silver, which is as you can tell is a grayish silver color. And increases the durability of the metal itself.

The reason why i said that it can only be made here is because its the normal mixture of mithril and silver but instead of just that. Using the ultimate metallurgy technique i also infuse endurium which although a lot stronger by itself its not as good with magic and its heavy. And the fact that its extremely rare no ones insane enough to use it to just strength quick-silver. And even with that mix in the quick-silver isnt even as strong as the raw form of endurium. In other words it is a complete waste. But i wanted the color of the plate armor to be a grayish silver while being strong (about a 8 on strength scale).

Its also has the weight of normal armor but since i will put the same gravity enchant but owner won't be able to change the weight it will only make it about 5 pounds(original weight was 20 pounds) so the weight is noticeable but can be ignored.And with the armor all planned out i began to work.

*********

I only have about 5 hours left based on the clock. I almost forgot to make the weapon for the roommate but i was able to finish it. It was a ornamental blade from my world that isnt here, It was a scimitar. I wont make a sword meant for battle to be hung on a wall but since i cant ignore the goddess of wisdom request. I made a sword that was meant to be hung on a wall.

I spent the last few hours polishing the armor and doing finally check up’s. The right arm is a form fitting joint armor that allows free movement to a extent. It has a grayish silver color to to it with a black outline surrounding each plate. On the shoulder there is a image rune of a white wolf cladded in lighting (basically sparks). And In straight lines there was normal written enchantments going all the way down the arm hugging the edges of the plate.(the armored plate thats meant to fit the arm im just saying it this way cause it be annoying typing all that out.)On the hand itself the it was simple with a decorated design. If by based on looks by itself it would only be about unique class.

But its not by itself and the material used to forge it wasn't normal quicksilver. The left arm was a sleeve that went past the hand (think a sleeve of a kimono). It had a simple design and was a normal white color. Along the cuff there was golden letter’s that were sowed into the fabric as enchantments.

But the biggest secret of the armor. The secret was the fact that the fabric was metal. Using a special combination of bright-iron,endurium, and evolitium which under almost any situation would be a waste of materials. But since i had pretty much unlimited material’s, it wasnt. the combination of the alloy had the durability of 8, weight of 6 and magic of 7.

The weight was ignored with gravity magic enchantment. and the high level of the metal ability to be enchanted made it easy to put ruins on the sleeve. The only problem would have been when it needed repair. Since this was made using a forgotten forging technique on my world no way would a normal blacksmith be able to repair it.

The only way i could find to expand durability was to make it extra thick then normal metal cloth and add a extremely more complex thread pattern. So along with that and the fact that i was a new at making armor i could not make it have pattern. Honestly if i had not made the dresses for the goddess i wouldn't have even humored the idea. So the armor should atleast be able to maintain proper working conditions until owner dies of old age. Only reason it wouldnt was if she keep abusing. Like using it to stop multiple dragon’s breath.

But i think owner would die by the heat before the armor is damage. Also i had discovered that the metal cloth actual feel’s like... well cloth. you wouldn't be able to tell that it was made out of metal unless you were a master class blacksmith and tasted it. Otherwise im not sure if you could tell.Well i guess if the gravity magic turned off and someone found out the thing weighed over 50 pounds then maybe. But i made extra sure that the gravity enchant won't be messed up.

In fact there's 3 back up ones inside the layers of the armor just encase.Even magic nullifying skills won’t work on it. but i was only able to install that feature on the last gravity enchant since it would literally take up the whole sleeve of enchantment script to write it i had to weave it in when i was making the sleeve itself so the enchantment is technically the armor as well. But the magic nullifying can only work on the enchantment its written into and drains alot of mana so most consider it a waste to use.

As i was polishing the last bit of armor the goddess of the hunt appeared in front of me.

“what your not done yet, you let me down.I thought you would be here lazying around till i got back with a legendary class item already made.”

“I am done with the armor, I was just polishing it up.Do you want to see it’s stat’s.”

“what are you talking about i only see to one piece of actual armor and that's only on one arm, although i do love that image rune of a white wolf,is it clad in lightning how smart.Instead of taking the easy way and just doing the wolf which would only give affects when other’s of the same race are around you did a white wolf which is was always alone.

You also cladded it in lightning which would bypass the effect’s of burning out a rune, nice idea. So its a white wolf clad in lightning i think it fits the girl perfectly.But that doesnt explain why there is only one arm.

Also what’s with that sleeve attached to it that couldn't be the other arm of the armor could it. If so im really depressed that you would show such poor work.using a type of cloth for the armor is a cheap way out. even if there are durability increasing enchantments on it.”

“well my goddess, you are wrong about one thing it isnt made from cloth but metal.”

The moment she heard that she was wrong i thought was going to get attacked. But when she heard it was made of metal she instantly appeared in front of me grabbing the armor for closer inspection.

“What is this…….it has the feeling of cloth and without those gravity enchantments to make it lighter it would way around 50 pounds. Which would fit into what you were saying that it was metal. But i have never seen a type of metal that is flexibly as cloth on are planet, explain now.”

she said that with a extremely demanding voice i slightly quivered.

“well that is because it isnt from your world. It was called metal cloth on my planet and was a lost art allowing metal to stay as strong as the original material but have the flexibility and feeling of cloth. Normal it would be to hard to make do to the amount of effort,magic,time,resources needed to be put into it,

But since 2 of those things doesn't matter. And i don't think putting not enough effort in would be a problem for me the only thing remaining would be time. And since i didnt had the time or skill to make a full shirt out of this armor i could only do one arm.”

“interesting im going to have to ask the god of blacksmithing more. never mind this is one good piece of armor and although nowhere near the level of the sword you made yourself. Which i would only assume was because you never made armor before this is a fine and perfect gift for your owner accomplishing her second trial.

Alright im sending you back to your sword the armor will arrive later. See you around swordsmith.”

with that i was plunged into darkness.
