In the heart of the bustling town, where the clanging of tal on tal was the rhythm of the day, Guing stood tall, his latest creation cradled in his arms like a newborn. The crowd, drawn like moths to a fla, huddled around him, eyes wide with anticipation. What they were about to witness was more than a re forging; it was the birth of artistry, the marriage of steel and skill.
Guing, with a grin as wide as the town square, raised the sword for all to see. Its blade, a srizing shade of dark blue, seed to drink in the sunlight, casting an otherworldly glow around it. But what truly captured the onlookers' attention were the intricate runes etched into the blade – a mythical beast frozen in ti, a blue icy phoenix!
The crowd erupted in whispers, each person vying to be the first to speak of the marvel before them.
"Look at that color, like the deep ocean on a moonlit night," remarked a wide-eyed spectator. "Fuck! I want that sword," he added with envy.
"And those runes! It's like the sword's alive," gasped another.
Guing, in his humble blacksmith attire, nodded appreciatively at the reactions. He knew he had crafted sothing extraordinary. With a knowing smile, he began to explain the sword's attributes.
"Friends, gather 'round, for this ain't just any sword. This is a masterpiece, and it carries the power of the Ice Bean."
A murmur of curiosity swept through the crowd. "Ice Bean? What in the world is that?"
Guing chuckled. "The Ice Bean is a rare gem this client provided for the creation of his sword." He pointed at Rozho, who was staring at the sword as if a child had seen his favorite candy. "It has this frosty essence that, when forged into a blade, grants it the power of frost nova."
He went on to describe the sword's effect in vivid detail. "Picture this: You're in the heat of battle, surrounded by foes. With a swing of this blade, a frost nova erupts, freezing everything in its radius. It's like a winter storm in the midst of sumr."
The crowd exchanged glances of awe. A sword that could summon the chill of winter? It was beyond their wildest imaginations. Read latest stories on empire
"But that's not all," Guing continued, his eyes twinkling with pride. "The Ice Bean's quality was exceptional, and that's why this sword is one of my finest works to date. I dare say, it's a masterpiece even the gods would envy!"
Rozho finally rolled his eyes at this mont. 'Fuck! That exaggerated?'
The people around him erupted into cheers, clapping and hollering in appreciation. Guing's reputation as a master blacksmith was already legendary, but this sword elevated him to a status beyond.
"It's a work of art!" soone shouted.
"I've never seen anything like it!" another added.
Guing, basking in the adulation, nodded his gratitude. The town square beca a gallery, and his sword, a masterpiece on display.
And so, in that mont, the crowd witnessed the magic of craftsmanship, the alchemy of skill and inspiration. Guing's creation stood as proof of the boundless possibilities that could be forged in the heart of a blacksmith's fire.
"You must na the sword, ain't it? I have nad a lot of creations, but I will give you the opportunity to na it yourself."
Guing smiled.
Rozho scratched his head and thought deeply. 'Hmm... Should I let Johan na it or should I?'

"There's no ingredient for your tier 7 shadow path available in the treasury." David sighed. "Even the ones we bought from the Royal Army were mostly ingredients for hunters and Shinobi Path. Though you already collected five when you're with the royal army outside last year, right?"
'How unlucky... Those three ingredients are the most difficult to obtain. Just as I've thought...'
"Yes, so far, I already have the five. I'm only missing three ingredients needed..." Caleb answered.
David had already told him in advance the ingredients needed. Why? Because the shadow path ingredients in the treasury are mostly for tier 9 and Tier 8. The treasury lacks ingredients of shadow path above tier 8.
It's really not used to know the ingredients in advance but to help you prepare them. After all, even if you have all the ingredients in place. Without the procedure from the recipe. You won't be able to concoct them. Just one mistake or slight deviation of require temperature to heat them would result in absolute waste. That's why David told him about the ingredients without much thought.
"What are the three ingredients that you need to procure, then?" David asked.
Caleb crossed his arms while staring at the empty air and muttered. "So far, I've got the Mystic Breast of the Powering Rhino. It was the first ingredient I've acquired. I killed that fuck in my own hands.."
"Tough hide, ain't it?" David responded with a smirk. "Still, I'm surprised that you dissected it yourself since I know that there's on one in the army would bother to dirty their hands for lower tier ingredients."
"Well, I'm a hunter before I beca a Destiny..." Caleb suddenly thought of Dunn, who taught him how to dissect. It's already been two years... He wonders what Dunn and Rina were doing...
As for Jin, well, he encounters him on the gate several tis just last year. He had to say that Jin was doing excellently that he was already entrusted to lead a squadron of guards.
David nodded and patted the paper works in his bed while staring at the distant window in the room. "Well, that a surprise. So, how about the others?"
"I've exchanged three corpses of tier 9 for the Glowing Heart of Hyena. Following that, I've killed Taoru, Desert Mantis and Feather Light Sking..."
"So the only ingredients you need to find were Raven's Shadowy Eyeballs, Neko Mata's Intestines, and Bull Penis?" David couldn't help but look twice at Johan. Such fast progress and resourcefulness. Gathered five ingredients in just a year!
"Unfortunately, those three ingredients could only be found in the Silica Valley. One of the zones that wasn't mapped by the royal army yet. That zone... It's a red zone. You need to be extrely careful or you will lose your life just at its entrances."
