Wesdey received the ssage not long after but took over an hour to co and see what Tagunda, which was Popon's alias, forged during the last day. Arriving at the room, Popon held his sword, seeming to be giving it so final touches. "There is no need to decorate it. I only care about its quality. Give it to ."
Popon nodded and passed the sword over.
"Just like many others, you also went for a sword. A little boring, but it matters not in your evaluation," Wesdey began to speak. However, as soon as he put his hand on the sword, his expression changed. His eyes narrowed, understanding that the unremarkable appearance of the sword hid its true value. Without thinking twice, he channeled his Spiritual Energy into it.
Sure enough, a huge amount of Fire Elent rushed from all sides and gathered around the sword, just like what happened to Veclis. "Oh-ho..." A rare tinge of surprise could be heard in his voice. He took out a device from his Spatial Ring, which he used to check the sword as well. After a few minutes, he finally nodded, satisfied. "Now, the forging thod is a little outdated, and a better result could be achieved with the equipnt we have available here in the Inquisition Forging Hall. However, the fact you were able to forge such a great piece with outside knowledge is already impressive enough. No doubt this is at the Silver Middle Level. I'm quite surprised that you were able to reach this level with the materials I gave you. Not bad, not bad..."
Wesdey then threw the sword back at Popon. "I've seen enough. You passed the test. In fact, I must make the offer the Inquisition Hall always does when you register. Are you sure you don't want to join the Inquisition Hall instead? Your prospect isn't too shabby. I'm sure you will gain a lot more if you gain access to all the thods in the Inquisition Forging Hall than the limited resources and study materials a temporary mber does."
Popon shook his head in response. "Sorry, but it is more of a question about wanting to improve to go back to my country and teach there. I don't want to be bound to anything. Of course, I'm still thankful the Inquisition Forging Hall recognized my efforts. Perhaps one of my disciples will join you in the future. Each one of them here was picked by , and I think they have what it takes to reach my level soday."
"Is that so?" Wesdey looked at 'Tagunda's' disciples and nodded. "I will keep that in mind. Anyway, I will update your privileges for the Blacksmith area. That will give you access up to the fourth level of the Blacksmith Sub-Branch. All the contents in there can be accessed by simply inputting your Werdlem Stone ID."
"Thank you, friend Wesdey. I'm honored to be part of the Inquisition Forging Hall, even if just temporarily," Popon said as he bowed politely.
Wesdey and Popon's group then ca out of the workshop. Popon took the chance and also asked about the next test. "Can you tell where I can take the test for the Circuitry Formation Sub-Branch?"
Wesdey quickly pointed out the direction in Popon's CD. "Just go there and ask to start the test. They will give you a private room and a random number and types of materials for you to build a formation. It is good that you specialized in Circuitry Formations as well. Applying them to the weapons as inscriptions can definitely increase their performance. Any Inquisition Forging Hall blacksmith who takes pride in their work would know both things to a high level."
Popon faintly smiled. "Friend Wesdey is too polite. Compared to the Inquisition Forging Hall real blacksmiths, what can I possibly forge? In any case, thanks for being my examiner. I hope I will see friend Wesdey later on."
Wesdey nodded, quite pleased with Popon's cordiality. Wesdey still had many other experts taking the test, so he left right after bidding farewell.
Seeing Wesdey leaving, Rean couldn't help but comnt through Spiritual Sense ssage. 'You seed quite used to pretending, don't you?'
Popon shrugged. 'I have a fake Werdlem Stone. Trying to avoid attention or causing trouble is a must for cultivators like . Whether I wanted it or not, I had to do my utmost to never fall against anyone if it was not extrely necessary. In the end, I just grew quite good at it.'
Rean liked it. 'I see it as a sign of adaptability. In the cultivation world, strength reins. But those who adapt can also go very far. Anyway, let's go to the Circuitry Formations Sub-branch.'
'Just one second,' Popon then turned to Veclis. Let's not forget that Veclis went by the na of Wildin because of his Werdlem Stone. "Wildin, go to the fourth level of the Blacksmith Sub-Branch and take a look around. Once I finish my test in the Circuitry Formations Sub-Branch, I will go back there to take a look. By then, I wish you to know everything there. You can access the fourth level by using my na since you are registered as my disciple. You just can't get access to any of the resources or studying materials."
Veclis quickly nodded. That would allow Rean to check if the fourth level was enough for him to get his plans to work. "Yes, master. Your disciple complies."
Rean was quite happy to see Popon's experience playing its part here. 'Well done.' He turned to Kentucky right after. 'Go with him, just in case things go south.'
'On it!' Kentucky didn't want to spend another day doing nothing while Rean worked, so he gladly followed Veclis. If necessary, Kentucky could access the Dinsional Realm on his own through his connection with Rean and Roan, and that also ant he could save Veclis while at it.
Rean, Popon, Cavacla, and the other two 'disciples' then moved to the Circuitry Formation Sub-Branch. It was then that Rean noticed a commotion at the entrance of the Inquisition Forging Hall while they passed by.
