"Matilda, my dear child, can you keep a close watch over this silly boy while I go and find meat and vegetables to prepare this gruel? Don't make him loosen up since I am not here, you hear? Come... Use this ladle and knock on that silly boy's head. Since he wanted to be an archer he should start to form the basics... "
The old weird lady was shouting to someone in the distance and then a fairly young girl emerges from the sides of the house and she took the ladle from the old woman's hand and waved it menacingly towards me.
Heather?!?
Matilda?!?
The person before me that was waving the ladle looked similarly like Heather.
I was supposed to be on a third person's perspective but now I am enacting this part of the realm or the subconscious part of my mind as a first person's perspective instead.
Was there a glitch somehow that made me of who I was before. Instead of showing me an image or playback of the past, I had somehow entered in as part of the main character instead.
I looked at Matilda/Heather and I noticed her temperament was quite similar. With one hand on her waist and the other waving the ladle menacingly at me, I nearly laughed as I looked at her.
"What's so funny, silly boy... Do you still think kicking me in my meow meow earlier is funny, is it? You were riding on those sly foxes after collecting their tails like as if you were a small boy who was taking a joy ride is it, huh, huh, huh?"
Yeah... Those two words... Silly boy... does seem to ring a clear bell. Does this mean Heather was also Matilda back in those days 300 years into the last as well?
I can't imagine how I was blamed to kick her meow meow? Was it a cat that I had kicked accidentally? And what is it all about me riding a sly fox? It's a much smaller animal than a wolf and I'm sure it can't even stand my weight.
"What's a meow meow? Is your cat hurt in any way?" I asked and before I knew it the ladle that Matilda/Heather was holding suddenly sailed through the air and I could see it approaching towards me and it landed squarely on my forehead with a dull clunk...!
"You asked me as if you acted like you enjoy kicking me in my p***y, you silly, silly boy...! I'm going to collect the ladle and don't you dare move your muscle...!"
I saw Matilda/Heather stamped her feet and walked towards me and quickly picked up the ladle that she had perfectly threw at my head and rushed back immediately near the cauldron where the gruel was being prepared.
Kicked her pussy...? Oh my f*****g God...! What actually made me do such a thing... Hahaha. I tried to control my laughter but I can't control it much longer until I simply dropped my bow and was laughing out loud while clutching at my sides.
A set of flurry images passed by and it showed the current me, still wearing a set of archer's garb talking to some children that were holding to some working tools. I was already back to my third person's perspective and I was glad I was not reenacting any of the scenes anymore.
Sitting back and watching the young boy before me would be much better. Besides j could portray the scenes much better this way. Hahaha.
I noticed the young boy that was supposed to be me was talking to some boys who were holding some working tools over their shoulders. The young boy was about 16 or so and was surrounded by some smaller children.
The weird part was that the children were unseen by others and oblivious when the young boy was talking to them. When the children walked away, I then noticed what the others could not see what the young boy was doing — it's because he had a third eye and he was talking to some dwarves...!!!
No wonder the others with him could not see what he was actually doing as he was talking away but the others saw him as sitting down near the side of the path instead.
No wonder the old bald-headed guy mentioned seeing what others cannot see and people would think him as a crazy person of he relates this matter to anyone else. Hmm... That part might be true after all.
Dwarves... That young boy managed to talk to Dwarves that dwell underground and hoards up precious minerals and gold? In that, the case, anyone who has the third eye would be able to community with any of these mythical beings after all...!
How wonderful would that be, no? I guess the perfect person would be... Well... It is me again and that means I would be leaving the twins and domain for a longer period of time if I were to communicate with them in the future.
A good thing may turn out to be a disadvantage and a disadvantage may be a good thing for others.
I looked at the group that was assembled and saw the young boy (me), Matilda/Heather, another younger boy and a young man and woman.
There were 5 of them in a group and currently they seemed to be quite acquainted with one another.
Maybe they had just known each other only recently and was sitting around and was minding each others business, as usual, I guessed.
Another set of flurry images flew past and then I was once again inside the realm of plane where I watched a new area that had been set up unlike before.
There was the usual smelting place, the distiller area and now there's this new area where some kind of black types of machinery was set up with lots of buttons and dials with a large sliding door in front of it.
There was a dial beside it and I saw it had three digits which could be rotated freely. The was a kind of lever at the side of the machine as well too.
Besides that, I saw another tumbler type of dial, which denotes as weapon, armour, accessories and minerals as its main category. The second one was duplicate, produce, fuse and enhance. I tried my hands on the dials and tumblers but I wasn't able to budge them at all.
What I did next was to observe the young boy as he placed several rubies inside the compartment of the sliding door. There were 5 small circular plates and one huge circular plate in the centre.
After he had placed some rubies around the 5 smaller plates, he closed the sliding door and turns the dial to enhance and set the other dial to minerals before he pulled the lever at the side of the machine back towards him.
I was walking around the machine and discovered that it was of equal dimension and functions to the rest of the 9 other machines. I returned back to where the young boy was standing when I heard a sound that sounded like a bell.
*Ding* Congratulations. Fusion complete. Fair quality rubies attained. Progress 3/100.
"Fuuh... At last. These poor rubies could begin their new life as fair rubies and then fused once more to make good rubies until they become perfect quality ones. I guess I better go and do up the rest of the gems before I start to enhance them into their weapons and armours."
Wait a minute... Didn't his young boy mention about enhancements to weapons and armours? Fusing of poor quality gems to make fair ones then to good ones and lastly to perfect ones?
Did Old Jack ever mention to me before when he gave some pouches of these gemstones that he had retrieved from all the weapons and armours collected at Darlington twice by Eagle?
The useless scrap was smelted down like what the two duos were doing before? Then this young boy was trying to attempt fusing the gems together and then enhance the weapons and armours?
Eehh...?! Is there a coincidence to all these?
We have Priest Michael who would be able to conjure up these gems for us and we could enhance them into the weapons of our militiamen like into bows and into the pommel or hilt of swords?
Then I saw the next weird thing. The young boy placed a studded vest armour into the big circular plates and then he placed 3 of the fair quality rubies into the machine and closed the sliding door.
He slid the dial to enhance and chose armour and he cranked the lever once again. He waited for several moments while I was tapping on my feet as I yet heard a small sound of a bell that signifies the completion of the task.
*Ding* Congratulations. Enhancement complete. Level one Studded leather armour vest. Fire Resistance +2. Life +2.
I had no one to ask the questions in my head and when I heard the studded leather armour had a Fire Resistance of +2, does that mean if someone was hit by a fireball of a power rating of +2, the wearer would not be injured?
If the fireball was +3, then the wearer might have some damage like singed hair and also moustache, I think? How about if the wearer was hit by a flaming arrow, would the studded leather armour prevent any penetration of the flaming arrow?
Having a Life +2, that means the wearer's health point (Ceres mentioned about guidance system in basic personal statistics before) would be increased by 2.
However, the only drawback that someone who would be able to identify such statistics would be a transmigrator or a person with a third eye perhaps?
Wuwuwu... I wish I had someone here to be able to provide me with answers to my many questions right now...!
I looked at the gleed face of the young boy as he placed a newly fused fair ruby inside the machine as he flipped the dial to duplicate and then choose minerals and closes the door as he cranks the lever afterwards.
*BLARE* Duplication failed. The host tried to duplicate a gem without even trying hard. The host had been warned. Another attempt such as this would reset your statistics to zero and would need to start all over again. The host had been warned. *BLARE BLARE BLARE*
I had to cover my two ears after the machine let out three blares from the top of the machine and directed the sound right above the head of the young boy.
I, who was standing close by was expecting a successful attempt but didn't realise that the machine was smart enough to realise that the host (me) was cheating at that time.
Maybe it was experimental but the blaring notification that rang out was loud and crystal clear...!
