“What’s with this little Dwarf!”
“On behalf of Dane Hand, I have brought 20 Grade 2 iron ores.”
“So that little brat was able to keep his promise this time. If you want to watch me work the bellows, you can watch from the corner.”
After 30 minutes had passed, Weed successfully received a request from Noble Hand.
Because Noble Hand did not have the time to melt the iron ores, he asked Weed to do it for him!
When orders are placed in this prestigious smithery, the customer will only expect items created with high quality refined iron ores.
That is only possible when someone has a Blacksmith skill higher than Beginner level 3.
“It’s urgent I would appreciate it if you would hurry. And also….”
But when Noble Hand looked at the refined ore he was very surprised.
“Who’s the Dwarf that refined that ore?”
“Is there a problem with it?”
“They are all of the same size and weight, and it is refined to the highest quality. If a Blacksmith were to make 100 swords with these ores, they will be able to make high quality swords.”
Noble Hand greatly compliment the iron ores that Weed refined.
In most cases, if a Blacksmith were to create 100 swords, some are bound to be failures.
Because the difference in the materials, and fire temperature, decreases the quality of the sword.
In comparison to wooden sculptures, a small mass of iron would required to be adjusted to its golden ratio, however more details are required for sculpting.
Thanks to his experience with carving wood, it trained his dexterity, hence it wasn’t hard to consistently produce high quality iron.
Noble Hand spoke with a serious face.
“But I think it seems to be short of 40 grams. Are you sure you used 20 iron ores to create this iron?”
“…”
“Well, This isn’t a big deal as long as you don’t take it too far. Is it possible that you want to surprise everyone by creating a large weapon?”
According to the information he read in the Dark Gamer’s website, the answer to this question should be ‘Yes’.
“I would like to create a weapon that would astonish the entire world. I believe if I were able to create a weapon like that, only then will I be worthy to call myself a Dwarf.”
Noble Hand stroked his beard with a satisfied smile.
“Yes. We Dwarves have forsaken water in exchange for the ability to handle our beloved metals. The ability of humans could never match up to our skill.”
The pride of the Dwarves is endless!
The Dwarves are reknown for their skill in working with fire, thus their pride is not unfounded.
“Dwarven weapons… How many weapons do you want to make?”
He didn’t have to set a high buying price in order to obtain one, but he would have to state a slightly above average price.
Weed proudly said.
“I want to make 5 billion gold worth in weapons.”
Suddenly Noble Hand became irritated and said.
“5 billion gold! Even if all the Dwarves put our money together, it would be impossible. I did not realize you had such an absurd dream. Get out of my forge immediately!”
If this continues, all my suffering will be in vain.
Weed immediately complimented him.
“You say that Dwarven weapons are worth it. I currently have about 20,000 gold.”
But in reality, he didn’t even have 2,600 gold.
He was so desperate for money, he even considered selling his japtem or unnecessary equipment!
“Do you have 20,000 gold?”
“Yes.”
“You plan on buying Dwarven weapons with all your money?”
“Splendid.”
“Then I guess I can assist you. All Dwarves appear wealthy, but in fact it’s the opposite. We’re always crafting something, repetitive failures and successes is why we’re not particularly wealthy. We always struggle with lots of debt because of expensive materials.”
There are two things merchants find most profitable in the Dwarven kingdoms.
Raw materials and beer.
Dwarves tend to be liberal with money when acquiring supplies for crafting, the cost really adds up.
However, they almost never buy other luxuries.
This is the reason Dwarves seldom have appropriate accessories to match their appearance.
Imagine Dwarves with pierced noses and wearing bushy earrings.
Without exception, every single Dwarf in the continent was suffering from poverty.
“If you indeed have 20,000 gold, I know some Dwarves that will be willing to help. They can craft genuine items of the highest quality grade possible. Now go east of the village with this written introduction to Nein Hand. You’ll need to find the oldest abandoned mine, and then you’ll be able to locate where the truly outstanding Dwarves live.”
Ttiring!
You have acquired an introduction from the Dwarf, Noble Hand.
What Weed needed was a letter of introduction.
By accessing and searching through the Dark Gamers’ Union website, he was finally able obtain the information he needed.
A place where he can learn Advanced Blacksmith skills from some Dwarves with excellent talent.
If you walk to an old abandoned mine without a light, through the lakes, the Underground Dwarven City will appear.
It was a City built out of gold, stone, and iron, where Dwarven Artisans reside.
He will end up there if he met the requirements.
Weed did not have any trouble looking for the way to Nein Hand’s village. He tracked down the old abandoned mine easily.
Deep inside the abandoned mine, was a passageway connected to the unground.
*Jeo-beok jeo-beok*
Whenever the torch flickered, Weed’s shadow danced around violently.
Walking down an underground passageway while relying on the light of a single torch instills a primal fear in people.
It took roughly 30 minutes of walking to reach the abandoned mine’s entrance. It was surrounded by stalactites with water dripping off of them, breaking the silence and creating a sense of fear.
Since Royal Road became popular, less and less people went to see horror movies.
There are many dangerous areas on the Versailles continent, such as monster-filled dungeons, which many have decide to explore. For that reason, a lot of people have lost interest in watching horror movies.
In reality, the main reason why people stop watching horror movies is because the basic elements of the horror movies are outshone by the monsters found in dungeons.
“Zombies!”
“They’re about level 30. You’ll never find monsters with characteristics like these before level 30!.”
“You can’t get rid of it with one Holy Blessing.”
These were some of the comments viewers made while watching the hero escaping from Zombies.
Weed was not afraid as he descended into the dark cave.
“It would be more interesting if monsters came out for an ambush.”
In fact, even if he knew monsters were waiting in ambush or there were traps laid out, he would not be tense.
There was graffiti all over the walls, written by Dwarves. However, most were insignificant random doodles.
— What can I craft with 5 iron ores and 1 silver ore?
— Take the right path to the Dwarven Village. That… is exactly what I’m trying to do. Do you know the correct path to the Dwarven Village?
— Don’t ever look back. If you look back…
The graffiti was useless provocation intended to instill fear.
Dwarves are very optimistic, but mischievous, they are similar to Smaragus.
They like fire and dislike the darkness, and drew graffiti for their enjoyment.
