MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 369 Visiting The Blacksmith Guild



Similar to how it felt back when he had obtained [Basic Reinforced Body and Soul], the scorching hot energy from consuming Intermediate Physical Reinforcement Elixir coursed throughout his body, making Valyr feel as if he had been transported to a desert all of a sudden. However, not long after, the biting cold energy from consuming Intermediate Mental Reinforcement Elixir counteracted against it, making him feel as if he had been transported to a tundra instead.

The swapping between hot and cold brought him mild discomfort at first, changing every few seconds or so. Though, as time passed, the shift between two temperatures became more and more frequent, causing him more and more discomfort until he eventually felt pain from the sensation itself.

Fortunately, having gone through greater bouts of pain, such as learning multiple skill books in a row and having the Mark of the Alltide carved onto his back, the greatest amount of pain he felt from the shifting of temperatures only made him tightly grit his teeth at most, the pain going downhill not long after.

In exchange for the subsiding pain, a wave of relaxation washed over body. At that moment, it was as if all of the things making up his body had been liberated from some sort of shackle holding them down, allowing Valyr to feel that he had tapped into a bit more of his latent potential. With that, he took a look at the notifications he had received, causing a faint smile to appear on his face as he brought up the description of the skill he had obtained in front of him.

[Intermediate Reinforced Body and Soul] (Lv. MAX)

Rarity: Epic

The body contains tons of untapped potential, waiting to be unearthed. Realizing this, multiple methods have been devised and created throughout history to do just that, with some even becoming well-renowned for years to come. However, only one method stood up to the test of time, becoming the de facto standard for all beings that seek to grasp the entirety of their body’s power.

This skill is given to those who have gone past the stage of Basic Reinforcement, giving themselves the ability to tap deeper into their body’s latent potential, also known as the stage of Intermediate Reinforcement. This skill increases all stats by 10 points.

‘It definitely takes longer to get used to.’ Closing up the screen after he was finished reading, an expression of satisfaction written all over his face, Valyr went ahead and did a few basic movements to acclimate himself to his increased stats, finding it somewhat difficult to do so. ‘Then again, I did gain 30 points in every stat… though I only gained 10 points in LUK.’

‘In any case, let me just get used to this new level of strength then I’ll head out to the Blacksmith Guild.’

With that thought in mind, the young man spent a bit more time getting used to his newfound strength, even going so far as to test out his strength in the mental department by conjuring items using the basic manipulation skills he had in his arsenal.

Finding significant improvements in both fields, Valyr eventually finished adjusting to his increased stats a few minutes later, commanding the system to show him a glimpse into his list of passive skills, causing a faint grin to appear on his face a few seconds later.

‘Imagine if I already had a set of Advanced Reinforcement Elixir available,’ thought Valyr to himself, his gaze focused on the skill [Intermediate Reinforced Body and Soul]. Not long after, he shifted his gaze towards [Basic Reinforced Body and Soul], prompting him to let out a slightly maniacal chuckle as he thought about the increase in strength Advanced Reinforcement Elixir would give to him.

‘Then again, there’s not much point in having it this early. After all, I can only consume it once I ascend to Rank 4.’

‘Either way, the fact that the mechanic behind consuming Reinforcement Elixirs are the same from what I remember does put a smile on my face.’ Taking a look out of the window to check how much time was left before sunset, Valyr quickly got up and grabbed the weapons he had brought along with him from Clossbay City before putting them all in his spatial bracelet.

Making sure that the weapons he grabbed were the ones needed for him to complete the quests he had accepted from the Blacksmith Guild, Valyr then told Wells that he would be heading to the Blacksmith Guild for a while before bidding farewell, arriving at his destination only a few minutes later.

…

“It sure is convenient that the Blacksmith Guild’s building is only a fair distance away from the Imperial Production Guild.” Standing in front of a building that had a similar exterior to the Imperial Production Guild, with the only difference being the amount of space the building occupied, Valyr headed through its entrance as he briefly glanced at the plaque that hung above it.

“Blacksmith Guild β€” Algerie Kingdom Branch”

Shifting his gaze to what was in front of him, the young man was quickly greeted by the sight of the guild’s main hall, the first sight he had noticed being the many people lining up in front of the various counters, with most of the expressions on their faces being that of calmness or slight panic. After that, he shifted his gaze towards the far end of the hall, noticing the spacious corridor that led through the guild’s other rooms, as well as the remaining counters that were reserved for official members of the guild.

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

Turning his head to the side, Valyr then saw a few people forging items in workshops located on the opposite side of the counter, prompting a few people from the lines to turn around and talk to the blacksmiths themselves. Surprisingly, rather than be annoyed, these blacksmiths instead approached these people with amicable smiles on their faces, stopping what they were doing before proceeding to hold a conversation with them.

Though curious as to why that was the case, Valyr decided that he should finish his own tasks first, heading towards the counters that were allocated for the official members of the guild. Showing his iron badge to the guard that stopped him, the latter quickly gave the young man the right of way, prompting Valyr to inwardly let out a sigh of relief as he lined up.

‘And here I thought I’d have to deactivate [Enhanced Polymorph] before being able to get through.’ Thinking that he would probably have to deactivate the skill sooner or later while in the guild to prove his identity, Valyr began to think of contingency plans in the off chance that he was asked to dispel the skill, using the time waiting for his turn at the counters to do so.

With the line in front of the counter for official guild members being half as short as the other counters, it only took around 20 minutes of waiting for Valyr to be served by the attendant behind the counter, being a man in his twenties wearing a uniform that had the crest of Blacksmith Guild emblazoned on his chest.

“Welcome to the Blacksmith Guild, how may I help you today?” Hearing this question from the attendant, Valyr brought out the weapons from his spatial bracelet and placed it on the counter before him. Seeing that the attendant’s attention had been piqued by his actions, he then proceeded to answer the man’s question.

“I accepted a couple of quests from the guild sometime ago that involved forging weapons,” said Valyr in a calm tone. “However, I feel like I’ve already gone past the deadline of submission for these quests. Would it still be possible to receive the rewards from these quests even though they’re long overdue?”

“Hmm… could you tell me the names of the quests you accepted?” Furrowing his brows for a bit as he pondered, the attendant eventually asked Valyr for the names of the quests, to which the latter swiftly gave. Nodding in response, the man then brought out a thin tablet before infusing it with mana, tapping its surface a few times here and there before eventually looking back at Valyr.

“Fortunately, there’s no time limit to the quests you accepted so it would still be possible to claim them.” As these words left the attendant’s mouth, Valyr inwardly let out a long sigh of relief as a smile soon crept up onto his lips. “Please give me your proof of membership, as well as any other requests you might have while I’m processing your rewards.”

“Ah. Would it be possible to claim the Technology Points I have access to for the month?” Nodding back, Valyr swiftly complied by giving his iron badge to the attendant, only to ask the man regarding the Technology Points soon after. In his mind, he thought that enough time had passed since the last time he claimed his Technology Points, thus he decided to ask the attendant about it.

“Give me a second…” In response, the attendant looked at the badge for a bit, only for the man’s eyes to briefly widen in surprise as he stared at Valyr. Taking note of this, Valyr stared back at the man with a hint of confusion on his face, only for his body to shudder in fear not long after as he felt a wave of tyrannical energy wash over his body for a brief moment.

Looking around to see where the energy he felt had come from, Valyr eventually gave up after being unable to find the source, returning his attention back to the attendant in front of him. At that moment, the attendant was already finished processing Valyr’s rewards, as well as the question he had asked him, prompting the man to give Valyr’s badge back to him as his tone sounded more polite than before.

“The rewards for the quests you have accepted have been sent to you, sir,” said the attendant, causing confusion to appear on Valyr’s face once more as he continued to listen. “As for the Technology Points, I have also confirmed that you are eligible to claim it for this month.”

“Though I would have preferred to give you your Technology Points and move on…”

“I have been informed that there is someone important within the guild that wants to meet you, sir.”
