Ever since Saleen left Ceylon City, nothing had been smooth for him other than discovering the temple. From past experiences, he would surely encounter even more troublesome obstacles, so he kept to himself in the barracks while creating weapon equipment.
Saleen had actually already created a large volume of equipment, but they were mostly semi-finished. Divinecherry wood was an example, he had already refined six divinecherry arrows for Eleanor and also created an entire case of shafts. All that was left would be the final touches.
Aiwa's shield was destroyed, so a new one would need to be made. The use of a magic shield was more important than the armor that a mage wore. Su's weapon would need to be upgraded with even more magic equipment, or his fighting ability would drop drastically.
