Chapter 1140 - Ways To Fix The Ancient Trading Mirror
Ajax's all elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts stayed in his inner world for most of the time and only started coming out because of the world-conquering mission.
Moreover, in the last world invasion, they didn't use their full power on the shard giants and wanted to go for another invasion as possible.
However, they didn't ask Ajax because opening a portal to the other worlds required a lot of energy and since the devourer eagle king had just opened a portal yesterday.
But now, they heard their master asking them whether they were ready for another world invasion.
So, of course, they were excited as they nodded their heads.
"Good."
Seeing the excitement on all the elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts, Ajax nodded his head with a big smile on his face before asking them, "You can take a small break as I have something to discuss with the dwarves. After that, we will go for the world invasion."
"Yes, master."
"Sure, summoning master."
Everyone nodded their heads as they started slumping onto the ground to take a small break.
"So, Tunmil and Lurmer, shall we talk about the materials I have given to you? I heard they never reached any town."
Soon, Ajax walked towards the old dwarf advisor and his second dwarf follower before asking them.
"Protector, those materials are still with us."
Lurmer got a little scared when he saw how serious Ajax was; however, the old dwarf advisor was calm and composed as he continued explaining, "I wanted to explain why I kept those materials with me; however, you are very busy and didn't have time to hear."
"You can tell me now and if I am not satisfied with the reason, you will be thrown into the prison in my castle."
Ajax nodded his head and gave the old advisor a chance to say his words because he was indeed busy and didn't hear the old advisor's words earlier.
"I feel it is a waste of material to use them to refine a Heaven grade weapon. So, I thought it is better to wait until a dwarf with a high success rate for the legend grade weapons appears in this world."
Tunmil was waiting to say these words for a while and he felt relieved after saying them out. As for what Ajax would do after hearing his story, it is entirely up to Ajax to decide as he is the protector of the world.
"You did good; however, without these materials, how long do you think it will take for that one dwarf to appear?"
Ajax understood what the old advisor was saying; however, it would take a long time.
However, if a dwarf refine a heaven grade weapon from high-level materials like Nether rock, enraged earth metal and others, the rate at which the dwarf gets the enlightenment into the King realm weapon smithy would be high.
'...'
The old advisor didn't talk because he felt what Ajax said had some truth to it and started thinking about how he could modify it.
"Anyway, what you did was right."
Nevertheless, before the old advisor could think of something, Ajax started speaking, "So, why don't we conduct a weapon refining contest in each town and select one or two young genius weaponsmiths from those towns?"
"Later, select the best-experienced weaponsmith to train them for a while before giving those materials for them to practice?"
Soon, Ajax devised a plan to nurture a group of young talented dwarves in the weapons refining.
"Good idea, protector."
The old advisor nodded his head as he continued, "Even though it will take some time, we will have a group of refined young dwarves who could push the limits in the weapon refining which the old dwarves like us were not able to push."
"Lurmer, you will be helping the old advisor and I don't want any of the town leaders to show favouritism to their young dwarves. The contest should be genuine as it is for the sake of this world."
Nodding his head, Ajax looked at Lurmer and ordered a few things for him to take care of.
The more high-level dwarves they have, the more high-level weapons they could refine which Ajax could trade either using the ancient trading mirror or by jumping back to the purple stone world.
However, he didn't think the latter option would be not a good choice because Zrochester province is poor.
'To use the ancient trading mirror, I need to find a way to fix it.'
Ajax silently muttered to himself as he asked the old advisor about the ways to fix the ancient trading mirror.
"Protector, there are a few ways to fix it."
As the oldest veteran weapon refiner, the old advisor knew a lot of things when it comes to the artifacts and weapons, which most of the old dwarves didn't know.
So, Ajax listened to the old dwarf advisor's words.
"A peak King-level weapon refiner could fix the ancient trading mirror; however, even he can't guarantee the 100 percent success rate while fixing it."
The old dwarf said the most basic way to fix any artifact or weapon was to find a similar level weapon refiner or higher than that.
"We don't have any King-level weapon refiner in this world anyway. So, tell me the other ways."
Ajax shook his head and he knew it would take years for one of the dwarves to become a peak King-level dwarf.
So, he asked for other methods.
"If you have a King-level upgrade stone along with a King-level success stone, you can upgrade the weapon which would not only fix the artifact but even increase its effects."
.

.
"There is a King-level repair stone which could repair any Legend grade artifact; however, it was just a myth and no one had ever seen a normal repair stone not to mention a King-level repair stone."
The old advisor continued to say one method after another; however, with each method he said, the difficulty of the method increased to the next level.
"Damn it...looks like it will take a lot of time before I can use the ancient trading mirror."
Ajax was frustrated with each method said by the old advisor.
The thing is, he wanted to see how an ancient trading mirror will work; however, after listening to the old dwarf advisor's words, Ajax shook his head and decided the nature to take its courses.
Until then, he decided to focus on either increasing his strength or increasing the rank of the grey dwarf world.
"However, there is another way, protector and compared to a few of the earlier methods I mentioned, it is an easy one yet a little difficult one to do."
All of a sudden, the old dwarf advisor who saw that Ajax was frustrated for not having a way to fix the ancient trading mirror, suddenly thought of something.
"Huh?"
Just when Ajax thought to stop thinking about the ancient trading mirror and decided to resume his world-conquering mission, he heard the old dwarf's words that made him a little curious as he asked, "Go ahead and say, what is that method?"
