Death… and me

Chapter 1211: Teach

Sure enough, Roan and Hura’s weapons were done by the next day. In Roan’s case, his scythe had to gather Light Element, so there was no need for Roan to be at the forging process. Of course, when it came to Roan’s weapon, Rean entered the Dimensional Realm Workshop to use its tools so that it would be as perfect as possible. With that being said, Rean simply left the scythe in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm so that Roan could grab it from there and put it in his spatial ring. 

Hura was also waiting outside of the workstation, so Rean passed her the needle. “Here you go. Give it a try.”

Hura immediately poured her Divine Energy inside the needle. Sure enough, Wind Element began to gather around the needle on its own, without the need for inscriptions at all. 

Rean smiled after seeing Hura’s excited expression. “As you requested, this is a special version needle. That means although it’s a Golden Initial-level equipment, it has the power equivalent to equipment at Golden High-level. You can test it anytime you want.”

Hura immediately fixed her long hair and used that needle to hold it before looking at Rean. “Thank you. I can tell just how much better than my previous one it is. Because I’m still in the Saint Realm, I can’t use Golden Middle or High-level equipment, so this needle is very important to me.”

Rean nodded after that. “No problem. Let me know if something goes wrong with it.”

Following that, Rean looked at the side and could see that one of the elders he was supposed to forge equipment for was already there. ‘Sure enough, he’s a blacksmith. He definitely wants his piece as fast as possible, but he didn’t bother me while I was in the middle of delivering Hura’s weapon. A blacksmith shouldn’t cause trouble for other blacksmiths when they’re dealing with their clients.’

After some time, Hura thanked Rean once more before leaving. Only then did that elder step forward and immediately pass a spatial ring to Rean. “Here you go. The materials inside are the ones I want you to use to make me a morning star. As you can imagine, I need it to be a Fire Element weapon.”

Rean checked the materials and was quite impressed by them. Those items could be used to even make Golden Peak-level equipment, but he wanted Rean to use it for Initial-level equipment. Of course, Rean would not complain as they weren’t his. “Sure. Elder, I’ll need your help at first while I create the Element Gathering Alloy. Come with me. The workstation has an anti-Divine Sense and Soul Power formation, so no one will be able to see what happens inside.”

Rean immediately started the forging process and kept the elder in a place where he could only infuse his Fire Element but not see anything else. Rean could imagine that the guy wanted nothing more than to use his Divine Sense to watch Rean, but that wouldn’t work here. The Sacred Land’s formations were no joke.

The elder couldn’t help but sigh when Rean told him that his job was done and he had to wait outside. However, he didn’t become dispirited. Once he got his morning star, he would spend all his time analyzing the thing.

The same thing happened during the next few days. Rean would receive the materials, bring the elders inside to infuse their elements, and then send them back. After he finished the weapon, those elders would evaporate in a moment. It seemed like finding Rean’s secret method to creating Element Gathering Equipment became some kind of competition. The one who found it first would be the winner. Rean just found it funny, though. ‘Well, good luck trying to do that without the knowledge about metallurgy from Earth. Hahahaha!’

Eventually, Rean came out of the Blacksmith Hall, preparing to leave. There were only four days before the opening of the Demising Catacombs, and he needed to bring Kentucky to the Sacred Land before that. However, the elders who were researching his weapons seemed to have also employed their own disciples to help in the tasks. That meant that Rean’s weapons had become even more famous, which increased the number of disciples waiting for him to be free. Now…the crowd waiting for Rean to come out of his workstation was even bigger!

Only the disciples remained since the elders who wanted the weapons already got them. That meant the same chaos happened once again as all of them wanted Rean to forge their weapons or armor first. However, just as Rean was about to snap on all of them, a strong voice echoed in everyone’s ears. “Silence! All of you, open space.”

The power behind that voice made all the disciples tremble to the core. Without a doubt, the voice’s owner had very profound cultivation. It wasn’t something they could fight against.

The crowd opened the path for Rean, who was finally able to see who intervened on his behalf. ‘Hmm…? I don’t seem to remember that guy. Oh well, I’m now free, so that’s what matters.’

Rean then thanked the man nonetheless. “Thank you, sir. Do I know you?”

The disciples were taken aback when they heard it. How could Rean not know that person?

The old man also found it unexpected that Rean didn’t know who he was. “Perhaps that’s what makes you such an accomplished blacksmith. You don’t pay attention to anything else other than your forging skills,” the old man could not help but say. “I’m Grabol Pemal, the blacksmith responsible for the entire Blacksmith Hall.”

Rean nodded in response, telling him, “I see. Nice to meet you. Thank you for the help again. Now, I have some things to do, so I’ll take my leave.” 

“Wait a moment,” Grabol said as he pointed at everyone waiting for him. “This chaos was caused by yourself, so you have to fix it first. I don’t want to have to come out to stop this kind of bullshit every time you appear.”

Rean had to admit Grabol was right. “Understood. In that case, I’ll have everyone here draw lots. That’s the only fair way to do this.”

However, Grabol had another idea. “Doesn’t matter how I see it. There are too many people. You won’t be able to attend all of them even if you have an entire year, and their numbers will only increase. With that being said, I need you to teach some blacksmiths of our Blacksmith Hall on how to forge your Element Gathering Equipment.”
