Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 105 Preparing Everything

?'Thanks Berry, you are such a kind hearted person,' this thought flashed in the minds of everyone here. If she was someone else, she'd have taken advantage of this situation, asking William to exert revenge and even help him in doing so.

After all, they tried to scheme against William despite her utmost actions to stop them. And they inclined hidden words to frame her as well.

"Ah, let's not talk about it then," William snapped out of his momentarily daze, "until the new team promised by the fourth elder arrives, let's start preparing the stoves here."

"Yes," in unison, everyone shouted as they recalled the last order, he gave them before things went hectic.

And without waiting for him to reiterate his order again, they all moved fast and went to gather up different kinds of wood and find a hammer for him to use.

"This… Since when they have been this complacent and obedient?" William was oblivious to what everyone had in mind, so he saw their sudden change in their actions quite weird.

"It seems that the fourth elder of the clan holds a great prestige," from the side, all silent Ary said, explaining what he thought.

"Of course, he is," Berry confirmed his words, "he is someone highly valued even by my grandfather."

"Your grandfather surely has a keen eye for good talents," William nodded as he got a good impression about this rational elder.

Even when he was met with such a situation, where his clansmen were accusing William of something big, and even with William's rude attitude, the fourth elder kept a balanced control over the situation and kept trying to get to the bottom of it.

This was something which William valued from this meeting. 'It seems this clan is filled with good people,' he took a note in his heart before turning to Berry, Ary, and Lina, "let's go and check the ovens. We need to make sure things are ready once everything is assembled."

"What are we trying to do here exactly?" Not able to control her curiosity anymore, Berry hurriedly walked to the side of William and added, "and is it true? What did you tell the fourth elder about?"

"It's a possibility," he nodded without exposing much more than what he did already, "and we are here to guard against it."

"I see," she clenched both fists as her train of thoughts drifted into a bizarre path like always. 'He didn't only try to help me, he also is trying to help the clan,' she commented in her heart, feeling the image of the kid walking by her side to grow by a noticeable degree.

William moved once he said his words towards the large group of ovens up ahead.

The place was arranged so that the ovens would be grouped on one side, while the cauldrons would be on the opposite side. Each side was arranged in different smaller groups, to allow more spirit masters to work and learn properly.

Once arrived, William started to examine the status of these ovens. "Not bad…" he loudly commented, nodding his head in satisfaction.

The condition of these public ovens wasn't half bad. Many were grade silver, with few even at gold grade.

Of course, the grade of the oven was important in crafting high grade gears. But for William and his current mission, such a thing wasn't needed at all.

Even a white grade useless oven would do the task in hand.

"Let's disperse," he gave the order, "let's clean all the ovens from the residuals and dust, making sure they are clean."

"Ok," everyone didn't find this task any important, but for William he knew how crucial it was.

"Don't leave a single speck of dust behind," he stressed over, "or else it will affect the end product."

"What are we making exactly?" Berry asked again, and William could only provide his usual answer about it.

"You'll see once done."

"Tsk," she didn't like how mysterious he was acting, and thought he was just trying to entice her curiosity. And in that regard, he indeed achieved a big success.

As everyone dispersed, William controlled the wheel beside the oven in front of him and made it tilt slightly to the side.

It was a gold oven, big enough to allow for a large number of ores to be placed within and get melted.

He simply shook it using his fist, allowing the force to repel many of the impurities, dust, and leftovers outside.

As he kept doing this, everyone else repeated what he did. In his mind, even if what he wanted to make didn't require a high grade material or oven, it needed purely clean stoves.

If there were little dust or leftovers from previous attempts to forge gears, then the end product would fail.

So, he attentively did his task diligently while everyone kept following his lead.

In this entire place, a group of twenty-seven stoves in different grades and sizes laid on the ground. Each stove had a grand pot shaped body with a small wheel to the side to control its placement, and a tray below that would be filled with wood later on to produce fire.

On the side of each group of three stoves, a large basin of clear water was there. It was used to cool the melted ores down or smother the final product.

There was also an anvil placed near each stove. And this dude didn't have a high grade as it was all unified bronze grade anvils.

William didn't mind such low grade anvils, and only cared about cleaning them from any impurities or dust.

As he did it, everyone else in his little group followed his lead.

At the same time, Lang and others kept moving wood from the nearby warehouse over to here.

"Place a few here, here, and here," William instructed them occasionally to make sure each group of stoves had enough wood to run the fire for hours.
