"A Blacksmith huh? We don't have many of those here, and the one's we have are low grade blacksmith's… what grade are you?" Elvis asked with his hands on his back…
Showing attributes of a gentleman..
"Grade? Why the hell would you guys grade blacksmith's? It's just a weapon.. ain't it?"
"Damn, I totally forgot you lived in a village before now, so of course you have no idea on how things work around here! Listen carefully..
Ever since the war a 100 years ago, the relics that were used in the fight were classified into four part, the Sword, spear, shield and the knife….
Those could be considered as the highest grade of weapons, but like I said they are all lost!!
"So why the hell are you telling me these if they are all lost, ain't you suppose to be explaining why blacksmith's are graded?" Gillian asked with a cold look on his face.
"Because after those weapons were lost, all we had was just steel to fight those from the Abyssal Realm, you do know where the Abyssal Realm is right?"
"Bruh, continue…." Gillian said hitting his forehead.
"Aight, about 50 year's ago, a black smith, Pato by name Forged the peerless sword, a type of sword we haven't seen for a hundred years now…"
"So if you guys haven't seen the sword for a hundred years, how the hell did you know that it the peerless sword? Just curious!" Gillian asked with a weird look on his face…
"Will you let me finish talking?... The peerless sword emits energy like so other, only black smith who has passed moonlight and sun wheel stage were able to make swords like that, but Pato was still in Master stage, so you get the problem here right?"
"I do but, this doesn't explain why black smith are graded and how would I know if Pato stage was high enough to forge such a sword, you only told me his rank, you didn't give me the list! Damn! You don't know how to explain bruh" Gillian said sighing.
Veteran Stage
Pro Stage
Master Stage
Moonlight Stage
Sun Wheel Stage
Those are the stage, from top to bottom, now I'll take my leave" Elvis said as he made haste to run away.
"Hold on a bit, how do I know which stage I'm in?"
"Bro, this is the last question I'm going to answer…
There's a test this night, take it …"
"What about…..
"Bruh, ask Akemi for anything else, I'm busy… I have things to do…
I can't keep answering your questions…"
But it was true anyways, If I was the one who was being asked questions like that, I'd definitely be angry.
"Gillian, we need to talk now!!" Akemi said as she stormed in, shaking her waist from left to right while walking.
"About what?" The look on her face wasn't a good one, so it was kinda wise to ask about what.
"See ya, Elvis ran off too soon, although Gillian hasn't known Akemi for too long, it was obvious that all the soldiers try as much as possible to stay on her good side.
He walked through the front yard, closely behind Akemi then he followed her in, the first room he saw was called a Sitting room, it was nice for a general..too nice
"I don't mean to ask but, did you buy all this yourself?" He asked as he accompanied her forward
"No, and why do you ask? She said, making a stop close to the door.
"Because it's very strange that a general would have so much property, so who bought it for you?" Is it Elvis?" He asked again, really curious.
"You've met Elvis? And yes it was him"
"Huh,....You walked right past him a few minutes back in the courtyard….and I'm pretty sure he saw you, that's why he ran along.
"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about? If it's not important can you wait? I have to take the test and know which Stage I'm in…
"I'm not sure the royal guards would allow you anywhere near the palace, you're an oldraken for crying out loud…" Akemi said furiously.
"And you just had to say it…, I was planning on going with Elvis, but you came and ruined my plan, so you'll have to go with me instead" Gillian said as he walked back out…
He hated being called and oldraken, he literally consider them to be a little tribe with no self control, privilege or signs of maturity.
His mother was an oldraken, but he had never saw his father… since he was little till now.
"If you're going, then let's go!!" Akemi informed his as she head out for the palace…
"But I haven't changed, and now I'm talking to myself.. damn"
It's the night is already approaching, Gillian could see lanterns in the sky, it was like a habit for those who lived in the capital city…
Ever since the war 100 years ago, the northern part of the world were divided into 5 different division/cities.
[THE CAPITAL CITY, being the highest where the royal family lived, commands were sent to the other cities from there too.]
[HALSTEAD CITY, second in command and it was ruled by the duke of Halstead, duke spheris.]
[RAVEN CITY, a very small city that trained only black smith's and soldiers.. it was rumored that a Black there was able to reach the moonlight Stage…which is definitely impossible.]
[SILVER CITY, it used to be second in command until the the reign of general Takahashi, he smuggled good's that was strictly prohibited by the capital city…
And spent almost all of the country resources partying and buying things lavishly.. untill he was caught in act and dismissed immediately, hence the 4th place]
[ABYSSAL REALM being the last of all, wasn't a division or a city.. it's a place where rogue blacksmith's were sent to, the war a hundred ago was caused by a rogue black smith, nova the great…
He wanted to forge the greatest weapon mankind has even seen, a system that could control the attributes of other elements, animal and more…
He was able to create this system completely, but his plan backfired… the system had a mind of it's own and refused to choose Nova as it's host…
He tried All in his power to adjust the system to be his, but still no results…
He failed at the end, causing him to run mad and killing blacksmith's, hence the cold war.]
