Jordan took a moment to reel back his shock, growing pensively silent.
"I've spent my entire life forging with magical beasts… but I've never come across a forging method like yours. Even mine only goes as far as taking the toughness and strength of a magical beast's, never the innate ability."
Liam hummed noncommittally.
"It wouldn't be shameless for a professor to ask his student for his forging method, would it?" Jordan asked with hopeful eyes and a wry smile, but Liam shook his head.
"I would… but I can't. This forging method was the inheritance of my father. He made me swear an oath never to give it to anybody."
Jordan slowly hummed in understanding, a bit of regret in his eyes.
"...Even if I pay you 200K Stones?" he offered with a pleading look.
Liam lingered for a split second, but eventually shook his head.
"I see… well, fair enough. What do you need my help with?"
