In the way to the guilds, Bae was surprised. Everyone around him has a name floating ahead of their head with different information
Gye In-Su, librarian, beginner |
Ji Daeshim, adventurer , steel rank 2* |
??? |
He also leveled [Appraisal] to level 2 but even with that certain person have hidden information, they are certainly on a better rank than him, after all he is only a second rank steel adventurer. After a bit more than 15 minute he arrived in front of the guild door. After Bae entered he directly walked in direction of the quest panel, but nothing interesting are posted today. So he walked out disappointed in direction of the blacksmith he bought his old sword the last time. He now have money to buy a better sword fit of an adventurer ! Well he only have one silver but it's already a lot here ! He spent all his bronze coin to the tavern where he sleep. The shop was on the same street than the guild and he arrived here not too much time after.
The shop was old, after entering, an old man hitting an anvil with a hammer making a weapon in the shop behind his counter. With different kind of weapon exposed on the wall, even when a customer entered his shop the old man didn't raise his head.
Bae started to observe several sword exposed in the shop. Without knowing the old man immediately looked at him with a hint of surprise. When Bae launched his skill [Appraisal] his eye glinted with a thread of white. It is exactly what surprised the old man.
"Oy, young one !"
Immersed with the information of these weapon Bae didn't hear directly the old man, only after a while did he understand that the old man called him.
"Yes sir ? Did you call me ?" Bae responded with suspicion, last time he bought his sword here the old man didn't even lift his head one time, he only called the price and nothing else. At that time Bae was surprised, did this old man have eye behind his head ?
"Want to be a blacksmith ?" asked directly the old man with a neutral voice like his question was a simple formality that he asked to everyone.
This time it was the turn of Bae to be shocked but he didn't let it show, instead he stayed with a poker face while thinking where the trap is. He heard that blacksmith is one of the upper job in the city along with alchemy while adventurer is only a lower job because everyone can become one easily. The difficulty of being a blacksmith lay in the feat that to became one, one need a master most of the time because self learn is really hard and that it cost a huge sum of money ! The last time he hunted goblin for several day earned him only one tier 1 silver coin but that's only the price of one basic sword in a blacksmith shop. While contemplating about what to say he heard another sentence.
The old man got up and slowly walked to Bae talking "I'm Son Il, what you used just now is a skill named Appraisal, i'm not wrong ?"
Bae shaked his head instinctively but when he heard the rest, bullet of cold sweat slowly formed on his forehead
"Appraisal is a legendary skill that we, blacksmith, hope to get because it can help us to understant our work better. When I was young I traveled in one of those higher country where this skill is not so rare for them and I heard that one of those skill book is priced at five tier 3 gold coin. Naturally I didn't and even now don't have that much money to buy one of these book and even if I could the talent required to learn one is to have talent of a blacksmith." Son Il finally arrived in front of Bae and asked one more time. " Sorry if my last question was direct but I reform my question, do you want to be the apprentice of me, Son Il, Master Blacksmith."
While he was pretending to think hard he secretly talked to his system.
"System ! How the @#% appraisal is a legendary skill while you say that it is only a normal skill ??"
Because the system is mighty host. |
" ? " Bae didn't know if he have to curse, laugh or cry now. But the system surely have heard the complaint of his host and decided to answer him.
Because in a small village, appraisal is impossible to found, host can go to the capital and found that book of appraisal is also impossible to found because no one want it. But system want to dissuade the host to travel here because host will be instantly killed |
" Okay okay, I don't even have plan to travel for now. But what is a tier 3 gold coin ? "
Conversion : 100 T1 Bronze = 1 T1 Silver, 100 T1 Silver = 1 T1 Gold coin, after this there is platinum with 100 T1 Platinum = 1 T2 Bronze. Host need to work hard ! Host have to know that a single tier 2 bronze coin can buy this village. |
"System can I sell my appraisal skill to you?" - No response.
After having his question answered he looked at Bae Il and his poker face expired, what if this old man want his skill ?
Bae Il like knowing his fear stroked his chin and naturally say " If i wanted to capture you I would already have done it, I'm already one foot in my grave and I need one young lad to keep my legacy."
Bae heard this and didn't let his guard down but he decided to accept the invitation ! Being a blacksmith will help him to gain money and power more easily.
Host have unlocked the job system ! Good job ! |
Host have become a blacksmith ! Reward had been sent |
