Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Blacksmith (Part 1)

Clara returned home ahead of the others and had already set up a simple stove. The iron and stones were stacked in a corner, and since they were quite heavy, she decided not to move them.

She selected some thin charcoal strips that brought it back with her, this can be used as pens. And drew several knives on a piece of animal skin. The most common ones were kitchen knives. Mateo wanted to go hunting, so he should hunt for a long time. Sharp knives, axes, and iron needles.

Once Clara finished her sketches, Mateo and Rowan returned. They first went to the stream to fetch a large stone and then looked at the Clara's drawing. Rowan showed little interest, but Mateo was eager.

After lighting the fire and moving the iron stones, Rowan noticed the charcoal, remembering the day he and Mateo had burned it. Seeing that the dark substance could still burn without the ash produced by wood, he was surprised.
