My Servant System

Chapter 1154: Chapter 1153: Personalized Gear



I eventually had to extricate myself from the pair of teasing and raunchy warriors, my ability to endure that kind of talk not as leveled up as theirs was as they chatted about favorite positions or the best kind of mood to set for certain kinds of play...

Leaving Jahi alone with Zahrah wasn't something I was worried about even if they were both talking about their favorite ways to have sex and the benefits to their specific inclinations, and if anything I felt better knowing that Jahi would be getting this kind of talk out of her system for now instead of bringing it back into the tent later tonight.

So instead I excused myself and made my way over towards Leone, who had been chatting with the mage Death Jackal she had worked with before - a man named Ali - about the different applications of magic that they made use of.

From what I had managed to catch before I moved to stand beside Leone, they were discussing the benefits of combining magic with someone else to amplify it, and primarily the idea of how Ali had apparently made a career out of doing just that.

When I joined them they both gave me a nod before resuming the conversation, and after a few moments of listening in I jutted in with an opinion of my own, desiring the cleansing of my palate with a more normal conversation.

It wasn't surprising at all that Leone had a quick grasp on this sharing of ideas between Ali and herself, and the topic only began to flesh itself out even more when I asked about the application of naturally occurring mana into your spell, something that I had been mulling over in my free time for a little while now.

Going from a conversation about the various positions that felt better when tussling in bed to debating the pros and cons of incorporating different variables into your spell was very much appreciated, though I was sadly called away from this informative conversation as Anput emerged from her forge again and asked for Leone and I to come inside.

Excusing ourselves to Ali, we made our way into the sandstone forge and joined Anput in the open, yet stuffy workshop she had made for herself, the heat from the furnace getting captured by the building and turning it into an oven that only fed back into the furnace.

Anput was - unsurprisingly - dripping with sweat from these work conditions, and I was tempted to question her intelligence for not incorporating windows into her workspace to allow the air to flow freely, but I didn't bother at all when she excitedly turned towards us and showed off her newest creation.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Look! I managed to create a large amount of this rather fascinating material for the two of you! That Ka Fiend's bones were pretty strong and dense, right? Like, even Jahi would need to exert a fair bit of strength to break them with her hands. So I needed to lighten it up slightly while maintaining that strength when I made the new alloy, and look at this~!"

Raising a thin sheet of red metal proudly, Anput grinned over top of it as she showed it off before pushing one of her hands forwards, bending the metal slightly and displaying its malleability as she moved it this way and that, and when that was done she put it back on her table and showed us a smaller square of it.

Creating a spike from her Metal Mana, she stabbed it down and tried to pierce the small sheet of this alloy, and while it did puncture a little from the force of the blow and the spike being constructed in a way that made it ideal for this sort of thing, that still was rather promising to see all things considered.

"Not only is it flexible, but it's also really durable and needs to be stabbed really hard to be punctured. As for its blunt force effectiveness... well, like most things its hard to make armor for that, but that's where the leather comes in!"

A few pieces of leather were hanging on the wall, stretched out and treated completely as they awaited their use, and the redness wasn't lost on me as I raised a brow at Anput, who grinned back at me as she said "Yup-! That monstrous Fiend had some thick skin, and that was perfect for armor~!"

That confirmation was enough for me, and while I was a tad disgusted at the idea of wearing a Fiend's skin as armor, it wasn't exactly something I was unaccustomed to if you wanted to get into technicalities since I had worn monster leather many times over, and this was the same thing... except that the Fiend was sentient.

"The reason I called you two in was I needed to get measurements again just to make sure I have enough to make your armor as well as to guarantee I have the sizes right. I can definitely get these done tonight and even get started on Jahi's armor too, though the full set for her won't be done before we redeploy."

Anput's obsidian eyes were glittering both from the firelight and from excitement as she almost bounced around when she said that, though when I asked "Are you sure that's a good idea though, Anput? Working all through the night like that and not getting any sleep... isn't that risky?" she paused and pursed her lips.

She thought on it for a second before shrugging as she answered me bluntly, saying "It's going to be worth it in the long run, and besides, while I won't sleep tonight I can definitely sleep on the way too the next battlefield; someone will just need to share their Jackal with me and keep me steady."

I sighed at that but didn't argue it any further, and she was about to say something else only to stiffen and spin around, rushing back to the forge and pulling out a long billet that she placed onto the anvil, hammering it out and filling the room with the ringing of metal on metal.

Sharing a look with Leone, we watched the Jackalkin work on that billet for a few seconds before I sighed and rested against the table, getting comfortable as we waited for her to finish with that; she really did have a surplus of energy that she always pulled seemingly out of nowhere... especially for the things she loved doing.

A minute or two later she placed that billet back into the forge and laid her hammer down, wiping the sweat from her brow and smiling at us as she waltzed on over and gestured for us to step into the open, where she could move around us freely.

Another thing that wasn't surprising at all was that our smith was really handsy with her measurements, and she made liberal use of this excuse to grope us however she wanted as she took a break from work and instead enjoyed this fully.

She was fishing for a reaction from me as she slid her hands up and down my stomach before grabbing at my chest, and while I usually moaned freely and made use of my voice like a Siren to entrance my partners, I was quiet as I stood there, enduring her touch.

"Will you manage to finish the rest of those weapons before our armor, or are you postponing those rewards you promised the Death Jackals?"

Humming behind me as she traced her fingers around my nipples, Anput rested her chin on my shoulder and replied "I can get them done too; in between making them is when I'll be making your chest piece, Leone's robe, and both of your bracers too. Which... your chest piece includes pauldrons, faulds, and a collar too, so it'll be a bit personalized, hence... y'know..."

My mate smirked at me before freezing as I tilted my head and innocently asked "I know what?", which earned a snicker from Leone as the Vampire beside me watched us closely, though that earned her a glare from Anput as the Jackalkin resumed feeling me up. When she got my measurements - actually using a measuring tape to mark it all down after another minute of harassment - she moved over to Leone and began the same process, but where I had been silent and endured her touch to the best of my abilities, Leone was much easier to play with.

It was my turn to watch closely as Leone was 'assaulted' by the Begum, this favor that she was being given by Anput getting repaid in the only currency that she seemed to accept, which was carnal pleasure; something that Leone was very weak too...

The only reason Anput relented was because her internal timer for the billet in the forge must have went off, but even then she only stepped away from Leone after she gave her a firm spank before returning a minute or so later, resuming her measuring as she made Leone into a mess.
