“You’re S Rank Adventurers?! Now I can tell why you’re so rich! Well, you want equipment for whom?” Asked the man, looking around the party.
“For us!” I said, as he noticed my friends and me.
“Eh? For you three kids?” Asked the dwarf.
“Do you happen to have equipment that could fit their bodies?” Asked my mother. “I want something that is enchanted with magic if possible, protection magic, also that is light and doesn’t get in the way of my daughter’s swift movements.”
“I also want the same for Aquarina.” Shade said.
“Indeed, also some shoulder protection perhaps. Do you have to also have more daggers or any other throwing weapon?” Nepheline asked.

“Hmmm...!” The dwarf began to caress his beard while he inspected all our bodies slowly.
.....
Celica was looking in silence at the entire shop, completely uninterested in the conversation going on. She was also looking quite sleepy, so she was already yawning. She wasn’t going to join so the dwarf ignored her and didn’t inspect her. Also, he didn’t even seem surprised or annoyed by a demon being here. So he might be quite open minded, or at least decently tolerant.
“I think I got some stuff for you. But to be honest, it doesn’t amount to the quality I would like to give to S Rank Adventurers and their kids. Do you happen to have materials of your own? If you want to, for a discount, I can use them ton craft your kids even better equipment. They got little bodies but they’ll eventually grow up, so I am going to use some special runes that make equipment adapt to their body size over time by absorbing their Mana.” Said the dwarf.
“Ooh? You can do such a thing?” Asked my father.
“Incredible, are you truly a Godsmith as some say?” My mother asked.
This was the first time I saw my parents genuinely surprised about someone’s talent and skill.
“Hahaha! No, you flatter me. I am merely a Master Smith! I settled down here after the war. Place’s peaceful though... there’s a lot of shady stuff happening sometimes. I am planning on hoarding money and go retire to my own homeland eventually. Your money would do me wonders in that.” Said the dwarven man.
“I see...! And yeah, we got a lot of materials. We can bring them here later.” My mother said.
“Amongst the stuff we got saved, there are Red Dragon Scales, Claws and Fangs, and a bunch of random Tier 5 and above monsters. We’ll bring the best things.” Said my father.
“Ah! I see, a dragon scales...! I have never used them before! It would be an honor to test my skills and craft something with them.” Said the dwarf, his eyes were fascinated. “S-Rank Adventurers are truly amazing if they can bring such amazing materials to craft stuff!”
“Then it’s a deal. For now how about you show us what you got? Later when you finish the custom made pieces, we’ll change them.” Said my father.
“Sure thing! Come you three.” The dwarf man said, as he led us to the interior of his storage. In there, he brought us a pile of equipment and weapons he had, which were made for smaller sized people, such as dwarves and halflings, apparently.
“These equipment are made for dwarves and halflings, but the amount of adventurers of my kin are rare, and halflings are even rarer amongst these human lands, as they prefer Atlanta’s plains.” Said the dwarf. “So this stuff has been sitting for a while now. I remember having a dwarf client asking me for some armor but then he never came to retrieve it. well, he paid for it beforehand but it has been sitting here for like seven years. I am pretty sure he will not come back now.”
“Ooooh! So much stuff!” Zack said, looking at an armor plate that fit his chest just right. It was silver-colored, and had beautiful blue lines spread out, which were made out of a special magical ore dust, that made the armor conduct mana very easily, enhancing its durability and even perhaps having self-repair ability.
“All these are premium equipment, the cheapest piece costs 50 small gold coins. But I see you got thousands so this might not be a problem for ya.” Said the dwarf. “They’re all made carefully, I’ve added Spirit Stones powder into them. These equipment got these colorful lines on them because it shows they can channel mana and conduct it. The color of the lines depends in the element they better conduct.”
“Oh, that’s very interesting. I had seen equipment with Magic Crystals incrusted, but never one where they added them as dust! Even less Spirit Stones.” Said my father.

Carrying a massive jewel in the middle of your armor is not something convenient, it might break and the entire armor’s gimmick is then gone. So we have made it so the crystal is made into powder and engraved completely into the armor.” The dwarven man spoke, as he showed everything he was talking about by pointing his fingers at the equipment he was holding.
“Amazing!” I said, grabbing a small diadem.
“Oh, that diadem is enchanted with four elemental spirit orbs of high quality and a strong magic crystal of a Tier 4 Monster called “Blazing Bear King”, it enchants fire magic the most, but also life and nature magic get a good boost. It also able to create an invisible magic barrier whenever it is worn. Try it out.” Said the man.
“Okay!”
I quickly put the diadem over my head, and then, I felt as if something invisible coated my head. It was like a magical helmet.
“Now, try smacking yourself in the head.”
“Okay...?”
I did as he said to test this out, attempting to give me a good smack over my forehead, however, I wasn’t able to hit my forehead at all!
CLANK!
Instead, it felt as if I hit a very hard piece of metal.
