"Do you have any preferences in choosing the system of the guild?" Rody asked, as the distant mory of their quarrel with Shin when choosing the group system was still vivid in his mind, pointing clearly to the fact that Shin knew for sure about the presence of a guild token.
"No, let's keep using the sa guild system," I said as I clearly noticed the lancholic look on his face. "You go on, and I have another thing to take care of," I said, as I turned and headed straight to a certain location, the blacksmith guild.
Through the way, I kept hearing many words of praise that made giggle, and many words of threat that didn't make worry. I had one year immunity for and my players. In return, I could issue a challenge to any player group or guild, any ti I wanted, any place I chose.
Putting that in mind made not worry about anything. Being strong didn't always an to carry the biggest stick, as I was not the strongest, but the luckiest and smartest of them.
And now I intend to be the most hard working player in this ga!
"Hello esteed hero of our town."
The mont I passed into the main hall of the guild, the mont Lary t with these words that made chuckle. "Oh Lary, I missed you so much. Tell , is Lady Nada here?" I directly asked about what I ca here for. I needed to speak with her, gain her advice, and try to think of a way to start making my chas.
Making armors and weapons wasn't that fun anymore, in regard of the possibility of making chas.
"Yes, she was expecting you to co after we heard the news," Lary said, giving a token. Once I touched it, I felt there was a hidden door glimring midair. I stepped in it, to be absorbed by this invisible door, making enter into the usual studio of Lady Nada.
And this ti, I found Lady Nada in person standing in front of , what a surprise it was!
"Oh, I didn't know you were really here," I said once I saw here, coupled with my shocked face, I was sure I seed funny and silly right now.
"Oh dear, you are our hero, my hero, how can I miss this mont and not show up, specifically for you?" she warmly welcod , pointing to a chair on the side of the forging table, while adding:
"Plus, we are destined to et."
"what do you an by that?" I asked, with a confused look over my face.
"Dear, aren't you supposed to et the town governor?" she asked, simply like that, and her aning just devastated my mind.
"Wait a minute, you aren't?"
I paused, didn't dare to continue speculating, but her calm smile made know the answer already.
"Don't worry, this isn't our formal eting, it's a eting between a master and disciple," she said with her calm smile that made feel how naive and lucky I was.
My personal masters weren't just nobody, they were on top of everybody!
I was really lucky, even blessed!
"Don't look at like that, you never asked about my true identity," Lady Nada chuckled, joking around for sure. How was I supposed to know her true identity? Or even doubt it?
Sure, her title was sohow catchy, but it wasn't that suspicious at all. I never expected her to be soone outside the blacksmith world, but now I was feeling much more relieved she had that other high position in town.
We were alike, the sa face of the sa coin, a precious one indeed.
"Now, let's put all that aside, and tell what brings here today?"
"I just wanted to tell you about my accomplishnts," I instantly replied.
"Oh dear, I was following your trail of news and groundbreaking achievents, even in that sacred land, where you totally killed it! I never thought my little disciple to be this mighty, despite knowing your link to the witch and your possession of the guild token.
I initially thought you would be scared to show it, hide it as all did, and finally would lose everything with your fear and care. to accomplish what others couldn't you must be daring," she said, with s sense of pride in her words.
"But you didn't tell any advice back then," I said, in a slightly blaming tone. I knew she was aware of my possession of the guild token, and her knowledge of my linking to the witch astonished as well, but she could say anything, even hint from far regarding what I could do.
"Dear," she calmly smiled per usual, "you can't teach a cat how to beco a tigress. It's either you have the guts to do it, or not. If you aren't that daring, any words from or anyone else wouldn't be enough to guide you. It has to co from inside you, and once it happens, I would be able to give all the support and help, knowing for sure how precious you are."
Her words seed logical and carried so sense of responsibility. Even if I was her disciple, it seed to she was separating her life as a town mayor and her life as a blacksmith master. I suddenly felt glad of my luck.
eting Shin back then, as suspicious it might seem, was the major turning point of my life. I really missed him, and I swore to myself to never rest until I set him free.
"Now, enough of this deep talking, there will be another ti for that. Tell , do you only co here for this? Won't you try to make new gears for your players? I knew they had it rough last couple of weeks while you were away, and lost a lot of levels and gears. You solved the first, but not the latter, right?"
She was like a prophet, able to see directly through . despite knowing what I was thinking of, she didn't alarm or annoy by that, instead it felt great, having soone caring for you, honestly and without any other ulterior dirty motives of their own.
"I ca here for that," I nodded, "but I didn't co here for gears," I added, " I want to learn how to make chas," I declared my intentions.
"chas?!!" She asked with a tinge of surprise in her face, "do you an those chas out there?" she asked, trying to confirm my demand.
