Chapter 212: Picking Tools

Having successfully created a hammer, even if its durability was still up to question, Ed decided to go mine some more iron.

'I should make at least a single pickaxe first' Realistically many of these things should have been lying around considering that the sacred tribe orcs were used to doing this labor but for some reason, they were nowhere to be seen.

'Did something happen?' The rundown smithy had seen some use but its condition also suggested that it was only being used by a couple of people. Ed could only assume that the sacred tribe smithing community had died down significantly. It had dwindled to a couple and the tools of the trade had been mostly lost or destroyed by the test of time.

'There is also the chance that they are well hidden among the mess and rubble' It was very well possible that Ed would have to give the nearly abandoned smithy a second look.
