Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 39 - Duke-level Weapons Refining Talent

Even though the young dwarf's life and death were already in Lucas' hands, that was not enough for Lucas as he wanted absolute loyalty from the young dwarf.

"I can do it only after I awaken my weapons refining talent."

The young dwarf shook his head as he replied with a disappointed look on his face.

Right now, the young dwarf only wanted a trusted master that could support him in his weapon refining journey. So, the young dwarf didn't hesitate to become the Hellmore family's weapon refiner.

"What if I can help you awaken your weapons refining talent?"

Lucas learned about that tradition from the system that suggested as a future sovereign of the firmaments, how could his family lack a weapon refiner who puts his family first before anything.

"What?"

The young dwarf had already taken so many shocks today as he looked at Lucas and tried his best to suppress his shock before asking, "I will obviously become the chief weaponsmith of your family, Master human."

Generally, the dwarves didn't like to become the chief weaponsmiths for any family even if you threaten to kill them except for the rare cases where they were impressed by the family.

According to the young dwarf, if Lucas already had an ability to awake a weapons refining talent in him, obviously, it meant he was special and he could take revenge on the weapons pavilion as long as he trained harder and created a powerful weapon.

So, there was no hesitation in agreeing to Lucas' condition.

"Good."

Lucas revealed a slight smile on his face as continued, "I can give you the talent and at the same time, I can even take it back. So, I hope you don't go back on your words."

After finishing his words, Lucas didn't wait for the young dwarf's reply as he ordered the system, 'System, awaken his weapons refining talent now.'

'Ding,

Awakening the random weapons refining talent for the young dwarf. Please wait.

Just after the system notification, the young dwarf was covered in mysterious white energy that came from who knows where.

'Swoosh'

Soon, the white coloured mysterious energy changed into various colours starting from yellow, orange, red, dark red, black and purple. After that, it once again turned into white before changing into other colours as the rotation continued.

Finally, after a couple of minutes, the mysterious energy stopped at Black colour.

'Ding,

The awakened weapons refining talent for the young dwarf is at 'Duke level'.

'What? Duke-level talent?'

Lucas was shocked for a moment before suppressing it.

As the one who helped the young dwarf in awakening his weapons refining talent, Lucas didn't want to look shocked in front of the young dwarf.

"I helped you awaken a Duke-level talent. So, recite the chant and swear your loyalty to the Hellmore family."

With a slight smile on his face, Lucas informed the young dwarf regarding his 'weapons refining talent'.

"What? Duke-level talent?"

The young dwarf was completely shocked to hear Lucas' words. So, he closed his eyes and tried something to know his talent level on his own.

"It has a black layer of mist. So, it is really a duke's talent."

As for what the young dwarf did to find out his talent, Lucas didn't know but he was happy that the young dwarf could believe him now and swear his loyalty to his family.

"I, Buznuk Alemaster, the young chief of the Alemaster dwarf tribe, swear to become the chief weaponsmith and my descendants will continue to serve the Hellmore family. We will Rise and fall, Thrive and perish, Gain and lose, Celebrate the joys and share the pains...…. with the Hellmore family."

Once he confirmed his talent, the young dwarf didn't say any words to Lucas; instead, he directly swore to become the chief weaponsmith of the Hellmore family and his descendants would also do the same.

"Rumble"

In the pitch-black sky, there was a loud thunder rumble. It was the witness of the young dwarf's words.

This means, as long as there is a sky in the firmament world, the young dwarf will serve as the chief weaponsmith for the Hellmore family.

"Hm"

Lucas nodded his head as he was satisfied with the young dwarf's actions before asking, "When you said descendants, are you implying that I have to find a good female dwarf for you?"

"Huh?"

The young dwarf raised his brows for a moment and when he thought about it he understood what he had said and hurriedly replied, "No no no...master. It is the general chant for our dwarf when becoming a chief weaponsmith for a family."

"Haha...fret not. In the future, let's see whether we can find a good match for you."

In his past life, Lucas rarely laughed; however, in this world, he was slowly becoming a normal human which he always wanted without noticing himself.

As for the young dwarf, he didn't say anything as he was still excited because of his duke-level weapons refining talent.

"Go and find the old man from earlier, he will give you a room."

Soon, Lucas ordered the young dwarf as he continued, "Also, I will call you Buzz from now on because your full name Buznuk Alemaster is too big to call."

"And as for your weapons training, just get used to your life in the family for now. I will give you the cultivation resources after a few days. Then you can start your training for weapons refining."

"Yes, master."

Currently, Lucas was a god in the eyes of Buzz because a human capable of awakening the talent of others is definitely uncommon.

So, he nodded his head before asking, "Master, until you say I am ready for the revenge, I will not think about it and fully focus on the weapons refining."

"Good."

Lucas wanted the young dwarf to completely focus on the weapons refining and once he is capable of refining at least rank 3 weapons, he would have a lot of ways to deal damage to the weapons pavilion.

Soon, Buzz left the basement to find the old butler Herbert.

'Buzz has awakened a duke-level weapon refining talent, I wonder what level of weapon refining talent I will awaken.'

As for Lucas, he was thinking about his awakening of the weapons refining talent.

The reward for finishing the mission 'Buy the young dwarf' was not only the awakening of the dwarf's weapons refining talent but even the awakening of his weapons refining talent also.

So, Lucas thought to awaken his talent also.

'Ding,

The system detected the anomaly in the beast skin.

Just as he thought about awakening his weapons refining talent, Lucas received a system notification making him put a hold on his awakening.

'Tell me what secret is hidden in it.'
