Chapter 100: Hmm! I'm a Blacksmith Too
[You trained in the Great Bear Sword Technique, improving your understanding!]
[Your skill, Great Bear Sword Technique, has improved. Experience gained: +2]
[Congratulations! Your skill, Great Bear Sword Technique, has reached level 5]
[Congratulations! You have unlocked a unique secret technique, Roar Strike lv2, a combination of the Great Bear Breath Technique and the Great Bear Sword Technique!]
Suddenly, Rain stood still on the training ground.
As the Great Bear Sword Technique smoothly reached level 5 (0/2000), fragments of training memories began to flood Rain's mind, each containing intricate techniques that seamlessly integrated into his muscle memory.
When Rain swung the steel longsword in his hand again, a sense of familiarity and fluidity, even more so than before, emerged.
"Because Radiant Stones are rare, the tribe has a rule that these stone weapons cannot be used casually, except for some special tasks."

Lagra carefully took the Radiant Stone from Rain's hand, her eyes filled with reverence as she explained:
"Perhaps it can be even better."
Crafting an axe and a longsword would undoubtedly share many transferable skills.
A double celebration!
Seizing the moment while everyone was still in shock, Rain led Boris to the backyard.
"You two?"
"Hello, Lagra Sister! Wow, sister, you're so tall! Taller than my brother even." Mint exclaimed.
"Hmm? Is that so?" Rain widened his eyes at Lagra, but seeing her serious expression, he knew she wasn't making it up.
"Let's give the uncle a day off."
"Can I take a look?"
"Radiant Stones hold a special place in the hearts of barbarians."
"Brother, breakfast is ready!" Mint suddenly popped her head out from the doorway.
"Oh? In that case, perhaps I can help you with this?" Lagra nodded, then added seriously to Rain, "If my brother had brought the tribe's Radiant Stone weapon, he might have defeated that Crown Knight, or at least escaped alive." Lagra's face grew sad as she thought of her brother.
"I asked the blacksmith in our town, and ordinary forges can't melt Radiant Stones. Another issue is finding a skilled swordsmith. Even if we could melt the stone, there's no one to help me forge a stone weapon."
The next morning, when Rain entered his room, he was surprised to see Lagra and Anna sitting on the bed, holding hands and leaning intimately against each other, whispering.
"Hmm! I'm a blacksmith too." Lagra nodded confidently, a smile on her face as if remembering something pleasant.
Boris was about to say that it was impossible.

In his past life, there was a saying, "Master one skill, and all skills will follow."
Lagra carefully examined Rain's steel longsword, running her fingers along the spine and blade, and said with certainty, "If it's a two-handed sword of this caliber, I think I should be able to handle it."
"Also, I have some special reasons why I can't go to the city capital to find a high-level blacksmith for this task." Rain explained.
Rain nodded and said, "Yes, this is my sister, Mint. Mint, this is Lagra."
"Rain, can I talk to you about something? Can I lend a hand? You know, I'm a blacksmith too, and I can help out a bit." Boris rubbed his hands, a rare moment of shyness.
Despite this, his overall impression was not one of frailty, but rather a well-proportioned physique.
"Huh! Is this the new lady?" Mint gazed at the sudden appearance of a beautiful and exotically styled woman, her eyelashes fluttering with curiosity.
"Starting around the age of five, I tried to forge small daggers and the like. Although I'm best at crafting axes, I've also forged a few two-handed swords. There are a few warriors in the tribe who use two-handed swords."
He had been growing rapidly lately, now standing at around 1.75 meters tall, and his height would continue to increase with time.
"I see!"
The Radiant Stone he had kept for so long now had a purpose.
Before Boris could ask why.
Forging weapons would earn him a significant amount of blacksmithing experience.
After the incident with the Demon Knight, Rain had thought of the Radiant Stone, so he took it out to examine it, letting out a sigh.
"Oh, right. We barbarians call it the Sacred Stone, but officially, the Empire calls it the Radiant Stone." Lagra nodded, explaining.
Boris's eyes nearly popped out of his head in astonishment, and he blurted out, "Rain, what did you say???"
So quickly they were holding hands?
Although he didn't use an axe, many principles were the same.
"Rain, find a regular blacksmith, and I can help you forge a Radiant Stone sword."
After breakfast, Rain returned to his room.
"Also, I'm quite skilled in axe forging, and two-handed swords shouldn't be a problem either. Rain, can I take a look at your sword?"
"Due to our harsh living environment, we often encounter strange nature spirits, wraiths, or demon servants. Weapons infused with Radiant Stones are our key to overcoming them.
"Furthermore, the most crucial point is that as Reyn's blacksmith level increases, he has almost no skills to quickly boost his blacksmithing experience."
At this moment, Lagrae and Anna entered together. Upon seeing the minerals in Reyn's hands, Lagrae exclaimed in surprise, "Sacred Stone!"
In comparison, Lagrae's height was about one meter and seventy-eight centimeters.
"Then, shall we leave now?"
"Yeah! I'm a blacksmith too. I can help you out!" Reyn said with a smile.
Additionally, Reyn, who was still thrilled about the upgrade of his Bear Sword Technique, noticed on the Night Watch panel that Roar Strike lv2 had successfully unlocked.
"This is fantastic!"
"He values it highly and has already notified the City Capital and the Church. How about you? Are you feeling better?"
They had never seen such a wild and beautiful barbarian girl.
"By the way, Lagrae, how long have you been learning blacksmithing?"
"No, the next sentence!"
Furthermore, Reyn never expected that the barbarian girl he rescued, Lagrae, was actually a high-level blacksmith.
Last night, when Reyn rescued Lagrae, Mint had already fallen asleep in her own room and naturally didn't know the situation at that time.
Lagrae had already noticed that when Reyn returned, he was carrying a two-handed sword on his back.
"Since I was little, I've been forging weapons in my tribe's blacksmith forge with my father."
"Of course, I know. I've already told Lagrae, and she said she has a special flux formula that can solve this problem," Reyn explained with a smile.
"Of course! But... Lagrae, are you also a blacksmith?" Hearing that Lagrae had a special method to smelt Radiant Stone and could even forge a two-handed sword, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Sacred Stone? Isn't it called Radiant Stone?" Reyn's face showed confusion.
Even though his title as a blacksmith didn't match his skills, currently, the only thing he could forge was horse shoes.
Reyn continued, "The barbarian girl who just came in wants to help me smelt Radiant Stone and add it to my greatsword."
However, Lagrae didn't wait for Reyn to finish and took the initiative to explain the reason.
Reyn was stunned by this scene.
"Uncle Boris, can you close the blacksmith forge for a day today? I'll bear all the related losses."
Soon, Reyn brought Lagrae to the town's blacksmith forge.
When they returned home, it was already late at night, and Reyn made do with a small compartment for the night.
"By the way, Reyn, why didn't you smelt the Radiant Stone into your greatsword?"
It was then that Reyn realized that Lagrae's height when she stood up was actually slightly taller than him.
"I chatted with Lagrae about the time you saved me."
"Then why didn't your brother..." Reyn asked, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt it was inappropriate.
Today's events were indeed a bit beyond Reyn's expectations.
"Reyn, you must know that my blacksmith forge doesn't have a blast furnace, right? Don't joke like that! Even if she has the skill to forge a two-handed sword, I don't have the matching tools here," Boris said with a hint of helplessness.
But face? It's not as important as the real deal! In truth, Reyn was checking if there was a chance to learn some advanced forging techniques from Lagrae.
"Let Lagrae help me smelt the Radiant Stone into my greatsword."
Reyn quickly handed the steel longsword to Lagrae.
"Much better," Lagrae nodded.
He believed that even if he didn't learn to forge a two-handed sword, learning to forge an axe would be fine too.
"Besides using a blast furnace, Radiant Stone can also be smelted by adding flux and a small amount of our barbarian blood."
However, when he saw Reyn's serious expression, Boris knew that Reyn wasn't joking.
"Isn't it called Radiant Stone? Is blacksmith Boris trying to fool me? It can't be."
"Such a cute girl, Reyn, is this your sister?" Lagrae's eyes lit up when she saw Mint, and she stood up and walked over to embrace Mint in her bosom.
As expected, the friendship between girls is a mysterious existence. "Reyn, you're back," Anna said, her face turning red as she stood up.
But as soon as she entered, she startled all the blacksmith apprentices in the forge, including blacksmith Boris.
"This is a common method we barbarians use to forge Radiant Stone weapons."
"Now?"
"Of course!" Reyn smiled and handed over the peculiar mineral that emitted a hazy soft glow to Lagrae.
Lagrae, with a calm expression, looked at Reyn and asked, "What did the Sheriff say?"
"But Radiant Stone ore is extremely hard to find, so we call it Sacred Stone."
"This..." Lagrae's eyes seemed to reveal a hint of nostalgia.
Suddenly, Reyn realized! Apparently, being able to watch a high-level blacksmith's crafting techniques was a rare learning opportunity.
What he meant by 'helping out' was that he wanted to secretly learn from her!
Reyn thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Uncle Boris, I can't make this decision for Lagrae. I need to ask her first."
"Yes, Reyn, I'll trouble you with this. As long as she agrees to help me out, you can use the blacksmith forge for free. One day, two days, or even three days are all fine!" The usually stingy Boris patted his chest generously, making a rare promise.
