[Lioslin]

Monster maker looks like she could be related to our girl imo an Aunt perhaps?

 

[kusekabe]

a worthy challenger has appeared, this is about to get even better 🙏😏

 

[pandatime]

Sorry random Lady you cant predct this very overly hyper Blacksmith afterall

 

[Wachtail]

That monster design's was sick, and we now have some plot?
Good chapter indeed, thanks for the TL!

 

[Spoopa]

OOH i would absolutely love if the villain was as feral for making monsters with creative designs as rudy is with her own brand of weapon autism. that seems like such a fun dynamic with them trying to outdo the other but both enjoying the process of just making stuff, kindred spirits yet opposed

So Laios, then. Will we eventually get that Giga Double Headed Flame Ice Dragon?

 

[nueee]

Thank you

 

[fight2live]

Nice reference to Monty Python.
Now go find a Holy Hand Grenade.

Next they’ll be arguing about the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Confirmed:

This takes place in the same universe as Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Though, The Holy Grail takes place before dungeons appear.

But then again, African swallows are non-migratory...

Shame it wasn't,otherwise we'd have so many flesh wounds.

Alternatively it could be a reference to Wizardry, which admittedly did originally borrow the idea Vorpal Bunnies from Monty Python.

They were also in Dungeon Meshi, which is probably more popular among japanese mangaka...

Well yes, Dungeon Meshi is chock full of Wizardry references/influences, with Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge being sited as a specific source of inspiration by the author.

It's just really hard to understate how influential the Wizardry series is to anything fantasy-related in Japan. If something is a reference it's almost always either going to be Dragon Quest or Wizardry.

 

[Tinker_OwO]

Plot in my Slice of Life Weapon-smithing manga?? YESSSSS PLEAAASEEE!!!

 

[Mah_Buddy_Keith]

That's a goddamn Shoggoth.

 

[Bourbon]

Bergin is so wise.

 

[Zl33PY]

The enemy?
Oh no! Shes hot

 

[Kekryn]

The shrub disguise is probably a video game thing as well. Going back further to old D&D stuff.

 

[Kaitensatsuma]

RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY

 

[nekaz]

all right that back flip enchanting of the crossbow seemed a bit extra but uhhhh aura farming or whatever i guess

Alternatively it could be a reference to Wizardry, which admittedly did originally borrow the idea Vorpal Bunnies from Monty Python.

Monty Python has a killer bunny; vorpal is a nonsense word invented by Lewis Carrol (Alice & Wonderland author) in a nonsense poem 'Jabberwocky' as a portmanteau of vortex and warp; and it initially was attached as an adjective to describe a weapon/sword capable of slaying said jabberwocky
