Since in the entire Barren firmament, only weapons pavilions in each town could refine the weapons, the main branch of the firmament already ordered all the weapons pavilions to increase the prices.
With the destruction of the only dwarf town in the firmament, no one would dare say anything about it.
Nevertheless, the weapons pavilion had spent so much to get an artifact that could open the otherworldly portal in that town. Now, it is time for them to recover whatever they invested with more profits.
However, what they didn't know was that the young dwarf bought by Lucas had already awakened a weapons refining talent and it was not a low-level one either.
Moreover, even Lucas was awakening a weapons refining talent. Whether he awakened a good talent or bad talent, the Hellmore family alone will have two weaponsmiths in the future.
In the secret training room.
Just like how the weapons pavilion was oblivious regarding the young dwarf's talent and Lucas, Lucas is also oblivious about the conversation between Finn and James.
Currently, Lucas's body was covered in mysterious energy that was changing colours at an incredible speed.
White, yellow, orange, red, dark red, black and Purple.
'I..it is stopping at Purple.'
Soon, the colours that were changing at an incredible speed slowed down and Lucas could see the mysterious energy's colour on his hand.
It was black and it was slowly turning into purple.
Along the way, Lucas asked the system about the colours and found out that the white colour means no talent or peasant-level talent.
As for the purple colour, it is the highest talent in the firmament world which means Sovereign-level talent. So, of course, he would be excited when he saw when the colour was changing into purple.
'Yes.'
Lucas heaved a sigh of relief when the mysterious energy finally changed into purple colour; however, his excitement soon turned into anxiety as the colour started changing into white colour.
'No no no.'
Lucas muttered to himself because other than that, he could do nothing.
'Damn it.'
Once the purple coloured mysterious energy changed into pure white colour, he stopped muttering and directly cursed the heavens.
'So be it. What if I don't have a talent for weapon refining? I can become both Mage and Knight.'
With that thought in his head, Lucas didn't bother to check the colour anymore.
'Ding,
The host's weapons refining talent has been awakened. It is Baron-level talent.
'Huh? Baron-level talent?'
Only after listening to the system notification in his head, Lucas opened his eyes to check the colour of the disappearing mysterious energy on his hand.
'Yellow? Looks like I can pursue this weapon refining in the future.'
Even though he had the same Baron-level talent in the 'Way of mages', it was different because the chances of increasing the talent in the Mage path are high compared to the weapon refining path.
But still, Lucas didn't want to give up because weapons refining could become a good business. The more weapon refiners in the family, the more weapons that the family could refine and the profit would be more too.
"Looks like the future of the Hellmore lies in the weapons refining business."
Lucas muttered to himself as he decided to take a rest for the night.
.....
Just outside the Silverstone town, a portal and a beautiful young girl wearing a light blue-coloured gown walked out of it.
She looked to be around 18 years old and immature; however, her eyes said otherwise. She had an exquisite face with a well-developed body. Overall, she has a beauty that could topple the kingdoms.
She was holding a small white-coloured lion in arms as she looked at the Silverstone town world.
"Ada, we need to get that advanced magic spell at any cost. I will be relying on you when we enter the dungeon. Once I get that spell, I can leave to make that Liontalon family regret what they have done."
Beck said to the little lion in her hands in a gentle tone.
'Rrr'
The small white lion named Ada roared in response as though it was assuring the girl.
'Also, we have to find them.'
All of sudden, the environment around her turned chilly as she thought about someone.
"Let's go."
With that, she disappeared into thin air along with the lion.
.....
The next morning,
Lucas woke up early in the morning and started his daily training in his secret training.
At the same time, in the courtyard, Porter was training the young squire.
"Master Lucas ordered me to inform you of something."
While the young squires were training, Porter said in a loud voice as he continued, "The first three among you who reached the mid-level squires will be rewarded with a 'Strength crystal'. I guess you all know what a strength crystal does, right?"
"Yes, sir."
All the young squires nodded their heads as they replied to Porter.
"Now, let's see who will become the mid-level squire and reach closer to becoming a family member."
Porter was satisfied with the young squires' response and nodded his head while he trained himself.
Initially, he didn't think much about Lucas' training schedule; however, after practising it for a couple of days, he already felt his strength had grown a little.
Even though it was very little, Porter decided to train with the young squires.
"Porter, look after Evan."
After an hour, Lucas and Bernard walked out of the manor after ordering Porter to take care of Evan.
'Family, I can no longer sense the assassins.'
Just as they walked out of the manor, Bernard whispered to Lucas, making Lucas nodded his head.
'Are you sure you want to come with me? If you stay here, I can fully focus on collecting the spells in the dungeon.'
Lucas shook his head as he thought Bernard coming with him was not a good idea.
'Don't worry, family. There is Porter to look after Evan. Moreover, as long as we are in the town, the assassin guild will never do something like that.'
Bernard felt Lucas needed him more than Evan because, in front of the dungeon, there would be many powerful characters guarding their youngsters. So, Bernard tried his best to convince Lucas.
'Fine.'
Lucas shook his head; however, he still felt the assassin guild is not to be underestimated. So, he said, "As soon as I enter the dungeon, you have to come back as fast as possible."
"With these horses, I will be back in no time, Family head."
With a confident smile, Bernard assured Lucas as they guided their horses to the location of the Dungeon.
