We got to the blacksmith very quickly and walked to the front counter with our missive from the Emperor. As Jarex produced the missive the Dragonkin behind the counter went into the back and returned with a human looking man with small scales under his eyes.
"Ah yes we have equipment that will do very nicely for both of you. I hear that you, young man are a dragon in disguise? How intriguing." He mumbled and scanned Leonidas and I up and down before asking.
"What roles do you each take in battle?"
"Well I focus more on high damage with semi balanced defense and magic, and he is a tank that focuses on both physical and magical defense as well as self healing and support. Though now that I have Dragon Pressure I would like to focus on my Will and honing my Dragon Energy." I listed off the characteristics Leonidas and I would focus on the most for now. The man nodded and raised a brow in surprise when I said "Dragon Pressure" but didn't react otherwise.
"What type of weapon will you be using the most?" He asked me, because let's be honest, a tank has a huge shield and one handed sword most of the time but Leonidas was going the Spartan route with a shield, spear and short sword. I grinned. "Something like this," I pulled out a drawing I had made while preparing to enter the game. It was a fully hand drawn Forging blueprint with specs in game terms so that the forge masters would be able to follow it. The blueprint was a dual pair of longswords, both of equal weight and made out of the rarest metal in the game. Kyberian Steel, it is strong and light and highly attuned to magic. It is the perfect material for magical weapons and is used in forging gear of Epic tier and higher.
"Hmm... The emperor's letter does say to prepare suitable reward should you succeed in your quest. These weapons can be accommodated as a set." The blacksmith nodded before turning and motioning for the assistant to bring our gear up to the counter.

This can't be real right? Rare gear? A full set at that! The stats and traits on the weapons were amazing and now I could even complete my first quest. With the 70 XP, I will immediately jump to Level 4. This will be a huge boost because I was level 1 when I got the Dragon Body, which increases my natural stat gain per level and I even get a few additional free stat points. The level of an Overlord?? Holy shit! This was huge, it's hard enough to become a noble at all, let alone a noble on the same level as the Emperor and other Ancient Dragons. I quickly bound the token to myself and relished in the feeling.

I grinned looking at my stats. I am definitely a hidden Dragon for sure. 'Just six more levels until I get my first class.' I though to myself as I glanced over the information. I nodded to the Blacksmith and asked.
"Do you know where I could find a book on manipulating my Dragon Energy?"
"Ah yes that, of course! Every Dragonkin has some Dragon Energy, the purer your bloodline, the stronger the energy. Though you were just borne into this power recently so no one can fault you for needing some guidance. What you seek is the Tower of The Tome, located not far from here near the central western side of the city. I'm sure Jarex here could guide you. Though do be mindful of the Tower Master, he may take an interest in you and put you through a test he has devised to measure magical potential. It sounds good at first but..." He trailed off and shook his head quickly to clear it. "Ah, don't worry, you'll be fine, you're a Dragon Overlord after all."
'WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!?!?!' I screamed in my mind while keeping my face expressionless.
"We will be fine I'm sure." I said as I turned to leave the store.
"Good luck lad! I hope you succeed in your quest and can see the blades I create for you!" I threw my hand up to signal I heard and continued walking towards the western portion of the city.
