Chapter 87 Old Man Is Really Not Bad
He stood at the entrance of the third floor.
An Kai saw the ball rolling to his feet.
It carried the sub-profession [Blacksmith].
He had to admit that he was a little too prejudiced when he spoke about [Blacksmith].
When the 'top' quality skill appeared in front of him, An Kai did not even think about it and chose to agree.
[I'm willing to learn!]
In an instant, the ball by An Kai's feet turned into powder.
A special energy enveloped the forging table in the middle of the third floor.
The powder scattered, and a white-haired old man whose face could not be seen clearly appeared.
[Forge Master is teaching.]
Next to the forging table, the old man held a pure black hammer in his hand and pressed it against something that looked like an iron block. He used all his strength and smashed the hammer down.
As the hammer fell, the metal piece instantly disappeared. A flash of light turned into a sharp knife.
The old man picked up the sharp knife and turned his head to look in An Kai's direction. His mouth was slightly open as if he was asking An Kai, "Have you learned it?"
An Kai was speechless.
[The blacksmith sub-profession has been taught.]
The system notification appeared. The old man's figure had a smile on his face. His mouth was tilted as he slowly disappeared.
It was as if he was proud of his unique teaching method.
Seeing the system notification appear with his own eyes, even An Kai, who was used to seeing strange scenes, had to say that this was the most advanced teaching method he had ever seen.
As soon as the thought disappeared, An Kai's mind was flooded with the introduction of the [Blacksmith] profession.
With the help of the system, the [Blacksmith] sub-profession appeared in the most perfect state.
[Forging Lvl 0:0/1 "Top Grade"]
[1: Master the portable forging table. There is no need to fix the location or equipment. You can forge equipment and weapons anytime and anywhere. (Unique to the top quality)]
[2: Strengthened.]
[3: Appraisal.]
[Remark: Use my life's work to climb to a higher peak!]
.
Seeing the core skill [Forging] appear, An Kai did not hesitate and chose to max it out.
[Forging proficiency +460]
[Forging Lv21-'460/460 ' 'Top']
After comprehending [Forging], An Kai smiled. He searched his storage ring and found [Water Repellent Bead].
[Water Repellent Bead: Level 0]
[Rarity: None]
[Usage Requirement: None]
[Remark: An ordinary pearl that allows you to breathe freely in the water for an hour.]
Then, he activated [Forging].
A pitch-black forging table appeared in front of An Kai.
Placing the Water Repellent Bead on the table, two options appeared in front of An Kai.
[Strengthening: Consumes a level 1 magic nucleus/low-grade magic stone x 1 to strengthen once.]
[Appraisal: Already appraised.]
"Time to whale?"
An Kai smiled. At this moment, he lacked everything except resources.
Without thinking, he chose [Enhancement].
[Low-grade Magic Stone-1]
In an instant, a pitch-black hammer appeared on the forging table. According to An Kai's intention, it started to hit the Water Repellent Bead.
During this process, An Kai did not need to do anything. He only needed to give some orders in his heart.
It could be said that the [Forging] that Razor taught him was indeed a rather advanced forging method.
An Kai had never seen or heard of such a forging method.
A moment later.
The forging process ended.
[Water Repellent Pearl +1: Level 0]
[Rarity: None]
[Usage Requirement: None]
[Remark: An ordinary pearl that allows you to breathe freely in the water for two hours.]
Looking at the new information about the Water Repellent Bead, An Kai was very satisfied.
He only used a low-grade magic stone to increase the effect of the Water Repellent Bead for an hour.
If it were sold, the price of the strengthened [Water Repellent Bead] would double, and its value would far exceed one low-grade magic stone. This was a good deal.
In addition, his [Enhancement] was not like those pay-to-win games where the result could be negative.
An Kai had the Forging [Enhancement]. As long as the enhancement was successful, it would be permanently solidified!
The one-time success of the Water Repellent Bead filled An Kai with enthusiasm.
He carefully searched the third floor and confirmed that there was only one forging table.
He put the forging table into his storage ring and returned to the first floor.
Lying on the [Frost] bed that he had created, he held the roasted meat in his hand and began to toy with [Enhancement].
In front of him, the pitch-black forging table stood in the air. On top of it was the +1 Water Repellent Bead.
Taking a bite of the roasted meat, An Kai muttered, "Set a small goal. First, I should complete the +6 mage tower mission."
.
Chaos city.
At the entrance.
Hanks rode the carriage pulled by the old yellow horse and leisurely walked into Chaos City.
"Hanks, I've never had a good day with you!"
Widow Wang's harsh voice pierced through the carriage.
Hanks, who was driving the carriage, smiled. "Not this time, not this time.
"I received reliable news that there are no other powers in chaos city. We won't run this time."
Hanks had a confident smile on his face.
This reliable information was obtained by Reid, who had risked his life to sneak into Chaos City.
After Hanks said this, Reid, who was walking on the left side of the carriage, twitched his mouth. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he sighed helplessly.
"Sigh! It would be great if the mage were still here."
.
The group of 6 entered Chaos City without any disguise.
He had not appeared for more than two months.
There weren't many changes outside the city.
The streets were as clean as before Hanks left.
In the outer city, the city lord Reid and his three companions, the deputy city lords, had not appeared during this period of time.
It was because Hanks and An Kai had stayed outside the city for two years.
Under An Kai's high pressure of collecting protection fees once every two months, a large number of residents in outer chaos city were driven away.
Those who didn't cooperate had already been slapped to death.
After nearly two years of high pressure, most of the remaining residents in the city were obedient, scheming, and forbearing.
In addition, the desert orcs had lost two Stage 4 orcs for no reason, and the battle with the inner city of Chaos City had reached a critical stage. They had also temporarily given up on the outer city of Chaos City.
Therefore, there were no external forces harassing them.
Even if An Kai and Hanks weren't here, their residual power alone would be enough to suppress any thoughts of rebellion outside the city.
After all, these people had killed so many citizens of the chaos city.
Hanks was in a good mood as he drove the carriage through the empty streets outside the city.
The speed of the carriage was neither fast nor slow as if they were on vacation.
Hanks and the others walked for about ten minutes.
At the end of the street, Vice City Lord Polpi led dozens of subordinates and ran over in a hurry.
When he was still 50 meters away from Hanks, he crawled on the ground and shouted, "City Lord!"
* Cough cough *
Hanks coughed lightly. Reid, who was beside the carriage, understood and stepped forward to the front of the carriage.
.
The Mage Tower.
The next day.
An Kai saw that the side quest had refreshed.
Then, he multi-tasked, flipping through the side quest while forging [Enhanced] equipment.
[89: Outer Chaos City's City Lord Reid and the three Warrior Deputy City Lords reappeared after disappearing for a period of time. Beside them was that mysterious old man.]
Seeing this, An Kai's eyes lit up.
"Eh? Hanks is a good old man. He came back to the outer chaos city to help me search for resources."
