Hearing such a foreign term Urist was bewildered trying to pull abstract game terms from his fuzzy brain. Barely able to get some idea of what Urtia was talking about he didn’t promise since he didn’t know the price of the material.

“One second let me look up the price.”

“Ok~”

Doing a quick search on the market turned up that a tier-one water magic crystal was pretty cheap only being one hundred points. Since it wasn’t that much Urist brought the crystal which appeared in a box in front of him.

Opening the box revealed a crystal the size of a fingertip, smooth to the touch, and the color was white blue vein running through the center. The crystal was cool to the touch and it made him feel a soothing calm when held for a short period of time.

After studying it for a bit Urist handed it over to Urtia whose eyes were sparkling looking at the mana crystal. She looked at it closely before giving a smile to Urist, “Thank you. With this, I can make a magic wand this. Although I prefer using a staff this will do for now.” 

“Cough.”

Rytar gave a fake cough waking Urita waking her up from her ramblings. 

“Oh yes. Thank you for the gift boss. With this, I and Rytar can make up to 20% more bricks.”

Urist was stunned and grabbed her hands in shock, “It has that effect?”

“Eh? Oh yes, I know how to make some basic staves and wands.”

“Can you make earth wands?”

“Well I never dealt with making earth wands, it shouldn’t be much different in making them.”

Without hesitation, Urist let go of the startled Urita and brought an earth magic crystal from the market for another 100 points. He handed the box over to Urita afterward to which she accepted the box.

“I’ll try getting the wands done by tomorrow, Luckily I’ve gathered enough wood for a couple of tries.”

The three of them talked for a bit, which Urist brought up that she could take a break from drying bricks to allow her to craft the wands.  Although it would lower production for today it wouldn’t be too bad since Rytar had learned how to drain.

Urist left them to their own devices and headed over to the fire where Uria sat stroking it occasionally. Other than that she was making rope out of boredom, he noticed that her hair was turning a faint orange in places.

She was focused on the rope mumbling under her breath if Urist had better hearing he could hear what she was saying.

“Stupid man, walking around like it’s nothing after taking such a wound. Who does he think is? Invincible? You can bleed out for all I care, idiot, he didn’t even visit me like the others. What am I not good enough? When I see him next I’m going t-”

“Hey, how's it going Uria?”

Urist voice startled Uria from her thoughts making her flustered.

“Urist! Don’t sneak up on me like that!”

Scratching his cheek he backed off when she raised her fist in the air about to hit him.

“Sorry sorry. I won’t do it again promise.”

“Humph, you better! So what is it you want?”

Seeing how firey she was acting he knew that he had to choose his words carefully.

“I was thinking after checking up with everyone that I spend the rest of the day with you. It’s been a while since we hung out since we’re always away from each other.”

With closed eyes, Uria gave Urist a piercing gaze.

“And whose fault is that?”

“Eh… That would be me… I’m sorry again. How about this we have Rytar watch over the fire from now on? I mean he did a good job when he was learning about magic.”

“Oh? Then what will I do?”

“You’ll be with me from now on whenever I go on an exploration and you will be my advisor from now on.”

“Fine. But my first advice would be that you don’t put your life endanger anymore.”

“You know I can’t ag-”

“You didn’t let me finish. You can’t endanger yourself until you learn to know how to fight properly. You said it yourself before your hands were useless until you came here meaning you never fought before.”

“But there is no one to teach me how can you-”

“What about the warriors that are in the group huh?”

“Ugh. But-”

“No buts. Until they say you're ready you will not get into a fight. That is final so promise me!”

Under Uria’s unyielding glare Urist could only back down under her brutal assault of words. He sighed taking Uria by the hands he looked her right in the eyes and declared.

“I promise until I learn how to fight I won’t endanger my life. Unless the situation is dire and we have no choice.”

Even after he made such a promise Uria didn’t still feel satisfied. She wanted to make him promise more things but the two noticed that the exploration team had come back with bright smiles on their faces.

They had killed another boar and caught more hares. All the dwarfs except for a few gathered around the exploration team and congratulated them on their hunt. Urist had a sigh of relief as the group had come at just the right time to break up the conversation between him in Uria.

Still, he knew that from now on he was going to have to train hard in the ways of fighting. So as he smiled at the exploration team a question popped in his head. 

What weapon should I learn how to use? I got all day to think about it, for now, it’s time to celebrate.
