As for the poster incident, it didn't reach the Forging department. If anything would be said about the artisans, then they were crazily absorbed and totally focused on forging and nothing else.
"It's me," William didn't feel any hostility like he used to get when someone would mention his past as a porter. Instead, he felt a weird shock coming from that master.
"It's an honour to meet you!" Just out of everyone's expectations here, the master who everyone dealt with utmost respect and veneration moved and formally greeted William by cupping his hands.
No matter how anyone saw it, they felt like this master was dealing with William as if he was a master like him, not a mere disciple like them.
"Master, what's wrong?!" From the side, one of those who showed their hostility to William before, spoke up. He couldn't control his puzzlement anymore.
"What's wrong about what?" the master turned to that disciple, who was one of the few gold grade spirit masters here.
