Adam could see that the vast majority of those present were looking at him with shiny eyes, including Nekli, the host. Coincidentally, Adam felt that she was a mage, most probably a fire mage.
A smile appeared on his face as he said, looking at the young man who asked him "I was at Neve Dorei, it was a great battle, although too many fell…"
The room seemed to become a little darker as Adam's words fell into their ears, and they could almost feel the aura of the battlefield. However, Adam then finished his sentence, this time facing Nekli "… I personally slayed their general, and I got this."
Adam took out the [Corroded Staff of the Undead] from his inventory, and taking a step toward Nekli he said "Although it is the first time we meet, since this is your birthday, and I hope to form a friendship with Morbash, I shall gift this weapon to you."
Nekli took the staff with wide eyes, and Adam could see that she was holding it so hard that the staff would surely break, were it made of normal wood.
From Level 50 to Level 99, the Unique Quality was the best quality for any equipment. For Nekli, a Level 82 mage, this Level 80 Unique Staff was one of the best she could possibly get, and even though she was in a large clan, even they may not have given her such a weapon. They would most certainly give her the best weapon for her rank up quest, but that would be a Level 100 Equipment of the quality just above Unique.
But even if her clan had given her a weapon as strong as the one Adam just gifted her, the true value of this staff did not come from it's power, but rather from it story. Taken from the general of the undead army, while in the middle of a great battle that shook an entire kingdom!
As for Adam, giving out this staff didn't really bother him. If he were to sell it he would most certainly be able to get hundreds of Gold Coins, if not more than a thousand, so giving it out for free might seem like a loss.
But in Adam's eyes, it wasn't. Everyone present had seen that when Adam stated his reason for giving out the weapon, apart from her joy, she also sneaked a glance at Morbash, and blushed.
Morbash was now grinning like a fool, while most young man had ashen faces, wishing Adam had come to see them instead.
After a moment, the staff in Nekli's hands disappeared, which made Adam move his eyes toward the fingers of Nekli. A magnificent ring with beautiful runes carved on it was on her left middle finger. Normally, only players could make an object disappear, by sending said item in their inventory.
This was one of the big differences between players and NPCs, along with reincarnation. An NPC had no inventory, and as such they had to store everything they had on themselves. Except if they had a Spacial Ring.
Spacial Rings weren't a foreign concept to Adam, and he knew pretty well how they worked, it was simply a magical ring with a piece of space inside it. The space inside the ring was a limited vacuum which could be used to store pretty much everything except living things.
Well, not every livings things, as most plants could also be stored in the ring, as long as they couldn't move.
Spatial Rings could also be used by players to increase the space in their inventory, but they weren't easy to find. To make a Spatial Ring, one would need to find an extremely skilled magician who is at least at the Hero Rank.
Moreover, not just every Hero Rank could make a Spatial Ring. After all, although Hero Ranks weren't common cabbages, there were still thousands if not tens of thousands of them in the entire mortal realm of Epoch.
If every single magician amongst them was capable of creating a Spatial Ring then they wouldn't be so rare. But only a magician with great control over their Mana and who studied magical runes for years could create Spatial Rings.
Those special kinds of magicians were called Enchanters, and they did not only make Spatial Rings, but also the arrays in magical cannons, defensive towers, everything related to formation and arrays were made by them.
There were ten main classes for fighters in Epoch, and there were three main jobs. Those three main jobs were: Blacksmith, Alchemist and Enchanter. Anyone capable of achieving something in any of those three fields could literally become richer than whole Kingdoms without much of a problem. Well, of course this was only for low level kingdoms.
Anyway, although Adam was interested by those Spatial Rings, he didn't say anything, he would get to examine them later on. After nodding to Morbash, Adam walked back to Klint and asked with a voice so low that no one except Klint could hear it "So, what are we doing now? They are making me uncomfortable, looking at me like that."
Klint smiled faintly and said "We can go back, I had my fun." Klint then raised his voice and said "Morbash, enjoy the party, but be back at the workshop in a couple hours at most. You have a customer waiting."
Morbash nodded and Adam led Klint out of the large house. The two of them quickly returned to the workshop, and there Adam meditated silently while they waited for Morbash to come back.
Since Adam had already successfully created his cultivation technique, he got back to work on his skills. What Adam wanted to do the most was to raise his [Aqua Slash] to C Rank, but he held back. He knew it wouldn't be hard, as all he had to do was to make it as close to [Lunar Smite] as possible.
But instead of doing that, Adam decided to go for something better. He would first perfectly master [Lunar Smite], and then fuse the two skills together. If he wasn't wrong, this should allow him to raise the skill to B Rank, and it would be perfectly mastered.
Of course, this wasn't something that could be done in a short amount of time, and so even after two hours passed, Adam still hadn't made much advancement.
But he still stopped his meditation because the orc he was waiting for had come back from his party.
As he entered the shop, Morbash looked at Adam with an amiable smile and said "I will come in a second. I just need a minute to freshen up, I sweated a lot."
Adam nodded without a word, and looked at the nearby Klint. He was surprised to see that he had fallen asleep, staying true to his identity of an old man.
Adam didn't care to wake him up, and instead waited in silence for Morbash to come back. When he did, Adam was surprised to see he had completely changed his outfit, and the finely made expensive clothes he had earlier had disappeared, and he was now in a much simpler outfit, befitting of his status as a blacksmith.
It wasn't that Adam looked down on blacksmiths, but seeing a blacksmith in fancy clothes was really weird, as one would expect them to be in simpler clothes in which one could sweat without fearing they would ruin their clothes.
Morbash's amiable smile was still on his face as he asked "What can I do for you?"
