Gob quickly brought the wooden pieces and placed them in front of me. "Gob!" I nodded in approval and explained how we would fit the blade into the handle. First, we needed to choose a suitable piece for the handle. It shouldn’t be too heavy, but it had to be durable. I carefully measured the volcanic wood and began carving it to fit the metal part of the dagger.

  Gob, too, picked up a small knife and started imitating me. His movements were clumsy at first, but he slowly began to find the right angle.

  "The tang part of the dagger—the part of the blade that fits into the handle—must be tightly secured. If there’s any gap, it will loosen when struck and may break."

  Once Gob finished carving, we placed the metal part inside the handle. After ensuring that it fit snugly, we secured it with small steel pins. I heated the pins before hammering them in place to prevent them from loosening over time.

  The next step was to improve grip comfort. I showed Gob how to wrap leather strips around the handle. "Leather prevents slipping and keeps your hand from sweating during prolonged use."

  Gob started wrapping the strips tightly. I carefully observed his wrist movements, correcting him whenever he wrapped too loosely. Finally, when we had tightly wrapped the black leather strips, the dagger was now well-balanced and ready for use.

  [Properties] [Poison: Releases a toxin that blurs the enemy’s vision. It must enter the bloodstream to activate.]

  "Nice! This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

  I spun the dagger in my hand a few times. The balance point was perfect, and it felt comfortable to hold. Gob eagerly reached out his hand, but I gave him a stern look.

  "Not yet. Using a poisoned blade is too dangerous for you right now."

  Gob pulled back, looking disappointed, but he knew I was doing this for his safety.

  "Come on, Gob. We still have a lot of work to do."

  Gob's face lit up with excitement. "Gob!" he exclaimed, smiling again.

  "This time, I’m planning to craft a weapon with a cutting edge and long-range effectiveness. The Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang - Throwing Knives, commonly known as Throwing Knives, will be an excellent tool for quickly and efficiently eliminating enemies from a distance. Their high durability, resistance to hard surfaces, and sharp tips make it easy to surprise and strike enemies. Now, let’s move on to the crafting process."

  Now, we’ll be using powerful materials like Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang and Steel Fang Wolf’s Bones. These materials will ensure our knives’ durability and sharpness, but they are also extremely hard and difficult to process. That’s why we must be careful.

  "Gob, be careful. These Steel Fang Wolf’s Fangs are much harder than regular metal. We need to heat them properly before working on them because if we don’t bring them to the right temperature, the material can become very brittle," I said, looking at Gob.

  As always, Gob listened attentively and then nodded before preparing the materials. With small stones in hand, he carefully began shaping the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang. I stood by his side, explaining each step as we went along.

  The first step was selecting the right materials and separating the necessary pieces. We needed to cut the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang carefully, as it was incredibly tough and could break easily. Steel Fang Wolf’s Bones, on the other hand, had exactly the properties we needed for durability. We would later use them to reinforce the throwing knives.

  "We mustn’t cut these too quickly, or they might shatter into tiny pieces. We have to take it step by step," I said, guiding Gob.

  Gob nodded and carefully heated the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang, slowly separating both materials. While cutting the bone pieces, he remembered my instruction about making clean cuts.

  Now, we moved on to the heating process. The Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang needed to be heated in the forge with great care. This would make shaping easier, but if overheated, the material could become brittle and much harder to work with.

  "Gob, when this material heats up, it hardens like metal. We have to heat it slowly. If we overheat it, the knife could break. Don’t forget that," I said while carefully controlling the fire.

  Gob pumped the bellows, strengthening the fire while cautiously heating the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang. It took a few minutes to reach the right temperature, but finally, when the material was adequately heated, the process became a little easier. Now, we could move on to the shaping phase.

  Once heated, the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang needed to remain durable, so the blades’ edges had to be sharp and precise. That’s why we had to ensure the sharpening was done meticulously.

  "We’re shaping the knives carefully, Gob. The edges and tips must be perfectly sharp," I said, stepping next to him.

  Gob immediately picked up a sharpening stone and began refining the shape of the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang. I closely watched his every move, making sure he was doing it correctly.

  It took some time to take shape, but the results looked good. The tips of the blades were now sharpened as we wanted. After this stage, we would further shape the body of the blades to make them more balanced.

  Finally, we carefully processed the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang for the foundation of the blades. Now, all that remained was to create the body. We needed to start preparing for the reinforcement process using Steel Fang Wolf’s Bones.

  “Gob, you need to cut these bones carefully. Steel Fang Wolf’s Bones are incredibly hard and durable, but if you’re not careful, the blade might break,” I said.

  Gob nodded and began shaping the bones carefully. He made sure that each bone piece was properly positioned to align with the other materials.

  “Gob, now we are going to create the main body of the blade. This step will determine the durability and sharpness of the blade, so you must pay close attention to shaping it correctly,” I said, warning him.

  As always, Gob prepared diligently, looking at me and nodding. He turned the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang in his hands, trying to find the right angles. I guided him, “You should start from the middle. The blade’s thickness should be even, and the sharper the tip, the more durable it will be. Let’s begin.”

  First, we needed to shape the body. To ensure the Steel Fang Wolf’s Fang had a smooth and precise form, we had to make the right cuts. The blade shouldn’t be too thin, nor too thick—maintaining this balance was crucial. To start shaping, we outlined the main structure of the blade.

  Gob was careful with every cut, making sure each strike with his hammer landed in alignment. Meanwhile, I guided him. “Do it like this, Gob. First, we will form the outer edges, then we will refine the middle section.”

  An essential step in this process was reinforcing the blade’s body with Steel Fang Wolf’s Bones. These bones would significantly enhance the blade’s durability. However, they were incredibly tough, so we had to be careful while cutting them.

  “Now, we will place the bone pieces into the blade, Gob. Make sure they are aligned precisely in the center,” I instructed him.

  Gob carefully marked the placement and started fitting the bone pieces into the core of the blade’s body. Each piece was aligned to maximize the blade’s durability.

  “Great job, Gob! Now, we will forge them together to fully integrate the bones into the blade,” I said, signaling that we were nearing completion.

  As the blade took shape, achieving proper balance became the primary concern. If the balance was off, the blade would be difficult to use. We had to carefully adjust the body to ensure it had the right proportions.

  “The blade will be sharper and stronger, but now we need to focus on its balance, Gob. Adjust both the top and bottom carefully; the blade must be even from all angles,” I instructed.

  Gob used stones to fine-tune the blade’s weight distribution. The blade was now both sharp and sturdy.

  Finally, the body was completed, and we needed to do a final check. The bones and fang pieces were properly positioned, and the surrounding edges were smooth. The blade was now ready for use.

  “Gob, the blade is complete for now. We need to make sure everything is solid. Before moving on, let’s do one final check,” I said.

  Gob inspected each part of the blade carefully and then nodded, indicating that everything was in place.

  I picked up the blade and looked around, grabbing a nearby stone. With one hand, I tossed the stone into the air, and with the other, I threw the throwing knife, hitting the stone mid-air.

  “Looks good,” I said.

  “Since the system has approved it, there’s nothing to worry about!”

  I had been working for days, and my muscles were sore. I could have kept going, but pushing Gob too hard might have caused his body to shut down. If that happened, we would have to wait days for him to recover. So, I decided to call it a day and spend the rest of it resting.

  I gathered the other goblins, and we spent the remainder of the day eating and sleeping together. The goblins were gradually improving and adapting to their new work routines.

  Even though we kept working, none of us had forgotten about the Great Goblin…
