Chapter 40: Forging Master Fourth Update

  Xiao Chang's thunderous voice boomed again, and he didn't give Lucas another glance. He strode directly to the front of Franlin, reached into his waist pouch, and pulled out a fist-sized, rotating, grey fourth-level fighting stone, saying: "Mr. Franlin, we've made an exchange with you."

  Franklin raised an eyebrow at Lucas, and secretly cast a grateful glance at Gan Jing. If it weren't for this student from the Oakland Magic and Warrior Academy, how could he have suppressed Lucas's ironwork today?

  If it weren't for Fabreides standing in front of him, Franlin really wanted to hand the Dou Shi over to Qian Jin immediately and take the opportunity to kiss him fiercely. This would be a good deal even if he lost money, as long as he could surpass Lukas' blacksmith shop.

  Fabre Dis called someone to bring two chairs, without any intention of leaving immediately. He invited Dryn to sit down and asked: "Young man, have you ever thought about continuing on the path of blacksmithing?"

  Qian Jing nodded, thinking that he couldn't just leave. That strange and endless world seemed to have many secrets, but for now, he couldn't even leave the village. If he wanted to explore it, he had no choice but to accept Old Blacksmith's iron-forging guidance.

  Fabre tilted his chin with one hand and scrutinized Qianjin carefully: "You shouldn't be a Blood Warrior, right?"

  He snorted, shrugging his shoulders. Of course! Any successful bloodline warrior was either nurtured by their family or sent to a prestigious primary magic and warrior academy for cultivation. Who would be foolish enough to send an awakened bloodline warrior to this third-rate Oakland Magic and Warrior Academy?

  "Ah..." Fabreides let out a sigh, slightly melancholic: "I think your body is not bad either. Even if you're not a Blood Warrior, if you focus all your energy on warrior training, in the future you can also become a great warrior. Of course, one who can't compare to a Blood Warrior."

  Qian's nod was casual, but his heart had become much heavier. Among the three ultimate bloodline warriors, it seemed that this time someone from the Qian family's Jingling bloodline could reach the ultimate awakening. Even if other bloodline warriors didn't have a chance to be called the first, what he said was also true.

  "If you're distracted by forging, you might not become a great warrior." Fabredes' words were somewhat helpless: "After all, everyone's time and energy are limited. You'd better think carefully about whether you must learn to forge while also training as a warrior."

  Everyone's energy and time are indeed limited, but the hour in that hat can be used as two hours, and it's still during the period after sleep when it's really not possible to make use of the time, so it won't damage the problem of energy and time at all.

  He felt a sense of gratitude towards Fabreides, like an elder to a younger one. Besides the feeling of being moved, he also had a slight sense of guilt. The endless world inside his hat was something that needed to be kept secret. He couldn't explain things clearly to this suddenly appearing kind elder, and could only deceive him with a half-truth.

  "I will definitely do it." Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders: "As for the goal of becoming a great warrior, I will absolutely not give up on it."

  Fabre gazed at the dry, yet radiant eyes for half a moment. Through those young and shining eyes, he saw an unyielding determination to master both fields, which made him sigh inwardly: Young people are always so fearless, weren't I like that too back then? Forget it! It's not easy to find such a good young man, might as well guide him more, let him avoid some of the detours I took back then, and hope he can achieve good results in both fields.

  "If you're so eager to practice ironwork, then you'll still need a better master to guide you." Fabredies furrowed his two golden eyebrows: "I know a blacksmith in that Blacksmiths' Guild who owes me a favor. If you really want to go down the path of ironwork, I can write you an introduction letter and have you become his apprentice."

  Dong... Dong...

  Several blacksmiths stared at Fabreides with their mouths agape, the hammers in their hands falling to the ground unnoticed, and the entire smithy fell into an absolute silence, with only the crackling of the flames becoming the main melody in the backyard.

  ... a blacksmith? Franklin blinked hard, subconsciously sticking his finger into his ear to make sure he hadn't misheard. Fabreides was actually saying that the master he had found for Qianjin was a blacksmith!

  In every field, there is always a strong person in the industry. The blacksmith's superior is the forging master, which is the dream title of all blacksmiths! It has surpassed the category of blacksmithing and stands at a height that countless blacksmiths look up to. For blacksmiths, it is no different from the height at which ordinary people look up to emperors.

  Such a figure has countless blacksmiths visiting and sending gifts every day, hoping to ask him or his descendants to become apprentices, and one day they can also become forging masters.

  Franklin was well aware that taking on an apprentice wasn't much easier for a blacksmith than it was for warriors, and becoming one of these people's apprentices wasn't something you could do just because you had money.

  Lucas swallowed his saliva repeatedly, the number one strongman in Oakland City actually knew a blacksmith? Didn't he hate ironwork? A letter could make a blacksmith accept an apprentice? This person's luck was really too good.

  "With your talent, I estimate... " Fabreides sized up Qianji and made a judgment after some consideration: "Ten years! He will definitely teach you wholeheartedly, as long as you practice diligently, in about ten years you can become a forging master."

  "Ten years!?" Lucas exclaimed, how old was this kid? In ten years he wouldn't even be middle-aged and could already become a master blacksmith? Countless ironworkers had gone gray before barely passing the master blacksmith exam.

  Even more, some people barely passed the forging master's assessment and got the forging master qualification certificate, and were so excited that they died on the spot.

  This young man will become a master blacksmith in ten years? Lucas secretly looked at Franlin, if that day really comes, relying on the relationship between this iron shop and Qianjin, it's probably... no good! The adventure must make Qianjin completely disappear!

  Master Blacksmith? Dryn's eyebrows twitched, although he didn't know what Fabreides was saying, but he observed the expressions of the crowd around him, and vaguely felt that this title of Master Blacksmith seemed to be extremely prestigious. Lucas' face turned completely green with fear.
