Seth had worked hard for the past week, making bows, crossbows, clubs, and spears, anything that required and benefited from the skill. The resulting items had also slightly increased his by a whopping 10%. They also clogged up the Enchantment Laboratory’s storage room, since Grant May couldn’t keep up with Seth’s production pace.

Alison had also reported that she came up with a training plan for the two of them to reach master-tier in the next 2-3 months. As for the tailors, they were tragic to look at, but Minas Mar now had several storerooms of finished and fabrics, as well as twice as much in unprocessed threads.

Another good news was that the business with Arget Nore finally started running smoothly. It seemed that the squads of golems he lent them were a great help and they had finally paid for their first batch of golems, increasing his Alchemy Budget to 3500 gold and putting a bunch of rare and epic materials into their coffers.

For 1000 gold and materials of a value of 300 gold, they received 150 discounted stone golems and kept renting the squads of Golem Knights that were working on guarding the teleportation formation in Gamma.

Facing the costs of Alison’s Alchemy Training plan, Seth regretted offering the discount a little. The final negotiations ended with Arget Nore earning up to a 50% discount on a Stone Golem for every 10 released people.

This way he missed out on 700 gold coins on the stone golems, in just the first exchange. Well, at some point, they wouldn’t have any more people to get discounts. Then they would have to pay full prices even for the Stone golems. Since Seth made sure only to allow discounts on them.

This was also why they rented the golem knights, instead of buying them. Seth demanded a whopping 50 gold for one. One may think that this was expensive, but they would have simply underestimated the worth of these golems in the eyes of the undead.

Seth had offered them the necromancing Necronite Golem, or NecroKnight as Seth unofficially called it, for a whopping 500 gold and they didn’t even hesitate to accept. The only reason he didn’t finish the deal, was because didn't have the lump change to pay him. They needed time to manage their affairs and come up with the money.

Overall, things had progressed well, and everything was ready to welcome Nädel and Tored, who would finally arrive today. He might have reached lv.5 in earlier if he had not taken his time to personally make sure Tored and Nädel would have their own Workshops.

Not only were the workshops especially big and fully furnished, but he had also prepared several rooms, since Nädel hinted that he intended to bring his apprentices along, too. This meant, that Seth wouldn't just get an experienced craftsman, but also his talented disciples. Seth didn't really know any of them from his time in Ora, but he had a good expression from the few times he visited Nädel's workshop.

He was especially looking forward to showing off to Tored. Although many of his legendary works had left with his friends who went to look for adventures in other worlds, he still had quite a lot to boast about here. Although they were mostly legendary because of the materials they were made of, Seth was still proud of them.

He was sure the dwarven master would be able to give him advice to improve his technical skills in future projects.

“You know, he wouldn’t shut up about her, after that quarter Elf and her party left to follow you. He was sooo heartbroken,” Vathon snitched on Marn’s true motive to come to Urth.

Seth remembered that Marn and Lyxiss had a relationship by the time he had to leave Ora, but he didn’t know it was that serious. At least for Marn, it seemed quite serious, if Vathon said the truth.

“You are lucky, I don’t think Lyxiss had anyone new, yet,” Seth mentioned. Although the elf tried to hide it, the radiating hope in his eyes was obvious. One came for the thrill, the other for love, well, Seth wasn’t going to complain about two more skilled and trustworthy laborers.

After greeting Seth, they also greeted Fin and Mina, and after a little shock, they also greeted Leana, as a princess of the Chrona Empire.

“Do you want to see the city, or should we go to Minas Mar first so you can unpack?” Seth asked the crowd. Seeing how many there were, the blacksmith doubted that all of them wished to immediately go sightseeing.

“it’s still early, I would love to see the cityscape you used to talk about,” Tored agreed to visit the city.

“Me too, I also want to see what kind of place Urth is,” obviously, Vathon was also eager to find out more about this foreign world.

“I would appreciate it if we could go to our accommodation and rest first,” Nädel gladly took the offer, and his disciples and assistants agreed with him. He was already a little older and had other priorities.

“I... would also like to see the place we are staying,” Marn said modestly.

“I will show them around Minas Mar. You guys should take your time showing these two around town,” Leana offered to take them back to Minas Mar, while Mina, Fin, and Seth would show the two dwarfs Delta.

While Leana took the other through the teleport formation back to Minas Mar, the other four left the System Church and entered the streets of Delta. The moment they stepped out, the two dwarfs froze at the sight. Towers even higher than the pillars of the City of Eternal Night and mountain peaks populating the sky above.

“D-Didn’t you say there was no magic in your world? How are these mountains flying in the sky? How did you build such high towers?” Tored mumbled, audibly more interested in the last part.

“The stuff with the mountains happened recently, as for the buildings, pure architecture, and technology. But don’t ask me for the details, I didn’t study that,” Seth gave two simple answers with a shrug.

In a similar manner, they walked into an afternoon full of questions as they showed Tored around the city, its shops, and its restaurants.
