The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

A moment later, Venus's voice came from inside the door: "Coming!"

The door was opened quickly, and even though she knew in advance that Lisette was coming, a hint of surprise still flashed in Vina's eyes.

"Teacher Tilissa gave me a day off so I could come and see—Achoo!"

Lisette wanted to greet Vina properly, but was interrupted by the chilly morning wind and couldn't help but sneeze.

This floral dress clearly makes the wearer look innocent and cute, but it doesn't keep her warm.

"Hehe, come in first."

Vena stepped aside and invited Lisette in.

"I originally planned to ask you out later, when it was warmer, but I didn't expect you to come so early."

Vena brought over a cup of hot tea, placed it in Lisette's hand, and carefully instructed, "Warm it up first, then drink it slowly."

"Ah."

Lisette nodded in agreement, a slight blush rising on her cheeks.

Because he was so preoccupied with meeting Vena, he forgot to cast even a basic spell like "Endure the Environment" on himself, which led to this embarrassing situation.

The workshop was warm and cozy, a stark contrast to the biting cold outside.

Even wearing only a thin dress, I didn't feel cold at all.

Lisette initially thought it was the residual heat from the furnace, but when she realized it wasn't, she looked around and her gaze fell on a fiery red heart the size of a stone block in the center of the workshop.

"What is this?" Lisette asked curiously.

"You mean that? That's a spoil of war from the previous battle against the Demon Apostle, the Heart of the Fiery Iron Giant."

Chapter 388 can be posted.

The heart of a giant is the most vital part of its body and an excellent material for alchemy and forging.

Even though it had stopped beating, it still emitted a scorching heat.

In addition, it has a metallic texture.

Adhering to the principle of making the most of resources, Wiener placed it in the center of the workshop, using it as an indoor heater.

Seeing Lisette's thin and frail appearance, Vina couldn't help but feel sorry for her: "If you're still cold, I'll go get you some clothes?"

"Why are there girls' clothes in the boys' dormitory?" Lisette suddenly became alert.

"Then you'll have to ask Felix. I reckon he has more clothes than you and Jessica combined."

To this day, Wiener still can't understand why Felix is ​​so obsessed with collecting clothes.

Two wardrobes are already filled with clothes that I bought but never wore.

But he also had to admit that Felix was indeed a natural clothes hanger.

Whether it's men's or women's clothing, he can always create his own style, and he can easily pull off even some special outfits.

"You're not actually smitten with Felix, are you?"

Lisette looked at him with suspicion.

"No way! I'm just imagining what it would look like on you in the same clothes. After all, look at you two, your figures aren't that different... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Before she could finish speaking, Viña cried out in pain.

"There are some things that you shouldn't say carelessly."

Lisette offered a "kind" reminder.

If she could be lenient, Venere would be even more grateful.

"I know I was wrong."

Wiener quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, his tone full of sincerity.

"Hmph, you'll definitely do it again next time."

Lisette gave a soft snort, but still let Vina go.

She wasn't really angry, but knowing Viner's personality, if she didn't punish him in time when he tested her limits, he would definitely become even more outrageous in the future.

Some things can't be rushed.

Thinking of this, a faint blush rose on Lisette's face. "If you really want to see, I... am not unwilling to wear it for you."

She wanted to follow her mother's teachings and show her magnanimity at the right time, but she was too shy, and her voice became as soft as a mosquito's buzz as she spoke.

"I'll go find it right away!"

Wiener would not miss such an opportunity.

Even if he didn't hear everything, he could guess.

You can probably guess what it was that made Lisette blush.

"Stop!" Lisette quickly grabbed Vina, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Is there something you're unhappy with about the outfit I've chosen?"

“Of course not,” Venere quickly waved her hand, “You look cute and it suits you just the way you are.”

“Then why should I change it?” Lisette turned her head away and muttered softly, “If I’m going to change it, it’ll be for next time. You have to tell me in advance!”

At least she should be mentally prepared.

After all, what Venere wanted her to change into was definitely not a proper outfit.

"sure."

Wiener readily agreed.

"Speaking of which, where is Felix?" Lisette asked curiously.

Normally, Felix would have already shown up by this time.

"Tilisa didn't give Felix a day off again. He went to the dungeon with them early this morning."

Wiener replied casually.

This means that the next half day will be their own private time.

Vena noticed Lisette's silence and asked softly, "What's wrong? Have you decided where you're going later?"

He had actually prepared a plan in advance, but seeing how seriously Lisette was taking this holiday, he didn't mind handing over the reins to her.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Lisette simply shook her head.

She knew that Vena was actually most afraid of the cold, and even when wearing a school uniform, she would secretly add a layer underneath.

Since staying in the workshop is a private world for just the two of them, there's absolutely no need to take Vena out to freeze.

“More than that, I’d like to see what you’ve been busy with lately,” Lisette said, making her request.

Although she texts with Wiener every day, it's mostly her venting while Wiener plays the role of listener.

So much so that even Vena, who knows nothing about magic, could casually ask Lysette about her progress in her studies, while Lysette always had no idea what Vena was busy with.

She clearly wanted to learn more about Viña.

Wiener paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation on his face, "Uh..."

"What, you're not doing something bad, are you?"

Lisette squinted her eyes, half-jokingly.

Wiener smiled somewhat helplessly, "No, it's just that you rarely get a break, and I wasn't planning on talking about anything else."

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the workbench and gently lifted the cloth covering the table.

A long sheet of parchment was laid out before Lisette's eyes.

"Here, this is what I'm making."

Wiener points to the drawing.

Listy, afraid she was seeing things, leaned closer, rubbed her eyes again, and finally confirmed, "This is... the legendary Staff of Tyrhunth?"

For every mage who has received a proper magical education, this name should be well-known.

It is the only staff among the heroic legacy left by Tauronio that was designed purely for magicians.

Although what we see here are just blueprints, they are not things that should be here.

"You went and looted the imperial treasury?"

Although it was somewhat shocking, it was the only explanation Lisette could think of.

Wiener gave a wry smile. "Can't you hope for something better? Can't the Empire just hand it over to me willingly?"

Then, he told Lisette how Schuster found him and how he begged him to accept the blueprint.

“So that’s how it is…” Lisette automatically filtered out the self-embellishment that Venus made during her narration and fell into deep thought. “In that case, it was I who presumptuously came and interfered with the important business.”

Compared to the crucial task of developing equipment to detect the demon race, the lovers' brief reunion seemed rather insignificant.

“That’s not true at all,” Viner quickly clarified.

He then hugged Lisette tightly from behind, burying his head deeper into her neck, their faces so close they could almost feel each other's breath.

"If I can't replenish Lisette's energy for too long, I'll get in a bad mood. When I'm in a bad mood, I lose my inspiration and can't do anything. That's what really gets in the way!"

As she spoke, Vena took another deep breath on Lisette's neck.

The fresh scent of soap and flower petals, intertwined with the unique fragrance of a young girl, invigorated Venus.

"You're just using this as an excuse to take advantage of people."

Venus's sudden attack caused Lisette's cheeks to flush all the way to her ears, and she turned her head away, pretending to be angry.

A weak resistance would only excite Venus more, while a firm refusal would likely hurt Venus's feelings.

After a moment's thought, Lisette came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

"I've got it! I'll help you finish this project, so it won't be considered a delay to your main task!"

Chapter 389 Venere's Staff

Of course, Vena wouldn't refuse Lisette's request for help.

After all, creating a work together is a valuable experience in itself.

Vena found a wooden frame and gently spread out the design blueprints for the Staff of Tyrhunth on it. Then, she found a wooden stick and began her mini-lecture.

However, as the Venus slowly unfolded, Lisette, sitting below, became more and more confused than ever.

“Wait a minute,” Listy finally couldn’t hold back and gently interrupted Venus, “From the very beginning, what you’ve been saying has nothing to do with the Staff of Tyrhunth, has it?”

She wasn't Felix who believed everything Wiener said.

Although she has no experience in forging herself, it doesn't mean that Lisette is completely ignorant of the principles of forging.

The fact that she was able to create such an exquisite magical puppet as Rikka with Felix's help was enough to prove her skill in alchemy and creation, which is why she felt she could help Venus rather than cause trouble.

In Lisette's mind, it would be extremely difficult for Venus, who only had a superficial understanding of magic, to create a wand across different fields. This was the time for her to show her skills.

Unexpectedly, it seems that Venerer did not intend to make the Staff of Tyr's as a magic wand at all, but rather used the logic of a blacksmith to forge a Zen staff.

He actually wanted to use pure metal instead of yew wood as the main body for making the wand, and even said that it would be inconvenient to carve magic patterns on a wooden wand.

Anyone with a basic understanding of magic knows that these magical runes were drawn with a magic pen; why did he use a carving knife to carve them?

“How can it not be related?” Vener insisted. “As long as it looks like the Staff of Tyrhoth and has the same properties, how can it not be the Staff of Tyrhoth?”

"That's just sophistry," Lisette's voice rose a few decibels. "Shuster gave you the blueprints, not so you could change them beyond recognition. If that's the case, what's the point of the blueprints? Why not just conjure a wand out of thin air?"

"If it were really that simple, why hasn't the Berbert family, who have had the blueprints for so many years, simply replicated the wand themselves?"

Viner tapped the stick on the drawing, leaving a long mark, then looked at Lisette, "Just like this drawing, do you think its ingredients are more important, or its function and effect?"

"Of course they are all important! If the quality of the materials does not meet expectations or the craftsmanship is not up to standard, it will affect the quality of the wand."

Lisette stated her opinion without hesitation.
