It didn't take long for Krune to arrive at the Blacksmiths Hall. He went to the counter and asked it was possible to talk with a blacksmith at the moment.
"According to your ID, you are contestant Krune, right? This time, all the participants of the Mercenary Selection have high priority in the requests here in the Blacksmiths Hall. I will request one of them to see you in a moment. Please, wait in that room."
The attendant pointed at a door not too far. Krune went there and waited for the blacksmith to come. A few minutes later, a man who looked to be in his middle age appeared. Krune could feel that his cultivation had definitely reached the Core Formation Stage. So he was undoubtedly much older than he looked.
"Hello there! I'm the Five-Star Blacksmith Marcus. You are the one who needs some advice, right?"
