Ryu's words hit Wynhorn like a falling meteor. Whether it was his perfect breakdown of her Dao, his insolence, and even down to his arrogance and estimation of himself, it all left her speechless.
Though Ryu's words were abrasive, there was nothing in them that was wrong.
Wynhorn was very selective about who she forged swords for because whenever she forged one, her Faith would be attached to it. This would not only allow her the chance to benefit from the deeds of the men and women she forged for, but it would also allow her to take a piece of their Daos to strengthen herself.
This concept of a Blacksmith benefiting from the Faith of those they forged for wasn't novel or new. Every blacksmith, so long as they had a certain level of skill, could benefit from such a thing without a problem.
Where Wynhorn set herself apart was in the fact she could also benefit from said individual's Dao.
