"You crafted this armor set yourself, right?" After the two of them were talking for a bit about Wells, Julian shifted their topic to the armor set Valyr was wearing, his admiration at the craftsmanship of the set still at the same level as it was the first time he saw it. "You've used quite the precious materials on it."
"I definitely spent a lot of coins to get it to where it is right now," said Valyr in response, a bitter smile appearing on his face as he recalled how much money he only had to his name at the moment. "I think I've spent around 15 platinum coins on it so far? Around 15 to 20 platinum coins."
"It ain't much compared to other pieces of equipment I've forged in the past, but it's definitely a lot for someone like you." Slightly surprised at the amount of money Valyr had thrown towards the armor set he wore, Julian went ahead and activated [Analysis] to take a look at its description. "Taking into consideration that kind of budget, your current class, and the general level of craftsmanship one would have at your rank, I'd take a guess that your armor set is probably Uncommo—?!"
"Epic?!" Gazing at the screen that had appeared in front of him, Julian was forced to interrupt himself from the sheer amount of shock he felt from reading the four letter word on the rarity portion of the armor set's description. Realizing that he had just blurted out something that shouldn't have been known by others in the first place, the man quickly established a line of communication with Valyr through mana before proceeding to say his next words.
"You really crafted an Epic grade armor set?"
"Well, the first version of the armor set was actually Uncommon+ grade," said Valyr in response through the line as they continued to walk. "After that, I modified the armor with precious materials, which allowed it to reach the grade it currently has at the moment."
"Someone who could craft an Epic grade armor set at Rank 2… I mean, I know it's possible, but still…" Still feeling immense shock over the true value of the armor set Valyr was wearing, Julian continued reading through its description, only for his attention to be piqued by the first innate skill the armor set had. "On top of that, an armor set that would allow a lower-leveled user to equip it…"
"If you don't mind me asking, how much experience do you have in forging?"
Hearing Julian's question, Valyr pondered over whether he should add in the experience he had accrued back when he was a player in his answer or count the time he had spent forging only after his current life had begun. In the end, he decided to respond with an answer that was a mix of both, telling the man that he had been forging for about three to four years or so.
Nevertheless, that amount of time was still more than enough to leave Julian astounded. "Such a short amount of time… on top of that, being able to obtain the best attribute awakenings on all armor pieces and refine every piece about +10…"
"A True Prodigious Blacksmith is definitely terrifying."
'You've definitely got that right.' Inwardly chuckling at how true Julian's statement was, the two of them eventually arrived at the guild with half an hour of sunlight left to spare, slightly hastening their pace to arrive at the room where the teleportation constructs were located.
…
"Welcome to the Teleportation Hall, Guildmaster." At the instant Valyr and Julian arrived at the place where the teleportation constructs, all of the staff inside the room greeted him with a high level of respect, causing the latter to respond back with a firm nod. "How may we help you today?"
"I'm here to send this kid to the Lesser Meltierre Mountains." In response to the question, Julian placed his hand firmly on Valyr's shoulder, giving off an aura of confidence as he responded. "You have my permission to authorize such a teleport."
"Duly noted, Guildmaster." One of the staff within the room nodded in response to Julian's words as another staff brought out a thin tablet before infusing it with mana. "Would the teleport be one-way or would it be a round trip?"
"Of course, it's a round trip." As Julian and the staff continued to talk about the specifics of the teleport, Valyr decided to take the time to take a good look at the room he was in, inwardly being awe at the sheer number of teleportation constructs that were built within the room.
On top of that, a large teleportation construct was at the center of all these teleportation constructs, the runes and lines that made up the construct gradually glowing as the staff seemed to be in the process of powering it up with mana.
Wondering whether he was going to use the large teleportation construct to head to the Lesser Meltierre Mountains, the conversation between Julian and the stuff was already finished, with the former tossing a token with the crest of the Blacksmith Guild on it to Valyr.
"Don't lose this token, you hear me?" reminded Julian. "This token is your only key to return back to this place through a teleportation construct. Of course, all you have to do is just show it to the Blacksmith Guild near the Lesser Meltierre Mountains and they'll take care of the rest."
"I'll definitely keep that in mind." Nodding in response, Valyr waited for the large teleportation construct before them to reach its full capacity, only for him to recall that he had actually forgotten a deal he had made with someone before he left for Astarto Village.
"What's wrong?" Unexpectedly, Julian sensed the slight panic Valyr was feeling, prompting him to ask the latter this question.
"I just remembered that Elder Noel told me that I have three days to respond to a question he asked me a few days ago," said Valyr in response. "It's already been over three days."
"Elder Noel?" Julian slightly tilted his head as he pondered over who Valyr was referring to. "Ah. Noel from the Spearman Guild?"
"Yeah."
"If you want, I could send him a message regarding your whereabouts." Hearing these words leave Julian's mouth, Valyr was reminded of the things the man had already done for him earlier, prompting him to wonder why the man was so kind to him. Nevertheless, he decided to save the question for another time, quickly accepting Julian's request as he apologized to him.
"Don't worry about it." Noticing Valyr's apologetic tone, Julian responded back with a hearty chuckle, waving his hand back and forth in nonchalance. "We've known each other for quite some time now, so he'll be able to read the message."
"In any case, the teleportation construct is ready." Pointing at the large teleportation construct before them, Julian urged Valyr to step onto the construct, to which the latter did.
Standing at the center of the construct, Valyr looked back at Julian before deciding to thank the man for everything he had done for him. In response, Julian gave the young man a toothy grin as he assured him once more that everything would be fine on his end and that he should get as much Skill Keys as possible.
"Guess I'll see you in a couple of days from now?"
"I'll try my best to get all of the keys I need in one."
"Hahaha! You better give me an Uncommon grade Skill Key once you get back, okay?"
"Hahahaha! But of course."
"Alright then. See you later."
"See you later."
Whoosh!
