118 Smithbreak Town (2/2)
”Okay, I will continue patrolling now. Heed my advice!” The captain bade farewell to Jin Rou and walked away.

As soon as he got out of the mountain range, he immediately searches for available horse carriages. Luckily, he found one. After all, this was the last horse carriage here waiting for passengers and there was only one seat left.
A couple of days had passed. Finally, Jin Rou reached his destination. It was the Smithbreak Town. Compared to Mangus Town, this was relatively smaller, but it was not to be underestimated, because this town boasted to have the most master forgers of the world! This Smithbreak Town was, as its name implied, the town of master forgers and being governed by the Blacksmith Guild.
Master Forger, this was one of the primary jobs of this universe and was highly revered! Compared to Essence Masters and Master Sealers, Master Forger was relatively stronger in a sense! After all, almost all cultivators preferred or needed armaments to use in battle since it increased one's battle power. Just like Master Alchemists who mastered the art of alchemy, it was necessary for a cultivator to have armaments that created by master forgers who mastered the art of smithing.
If one may ask why Jin Rou set this place as his destination? It was because Yuna Sierra was told by Grenas to tell him that he needed to acquire the badges of all jobs available in this universe and reach the peak of mastery in exchange of his freedom which Jin Rou gladly accepted. What were the mere jobs if it could be exchanged to his freedom, right? In fact, he was really planning to get some badges of primary jobs when we had time. Coincidentally. the Clau Zuxi Mountain Range was only a couple of days travel to this place.
As Jin Rou roamed his eyes, all he could see was Blacksmith Shops that sell or repair armaments. Some had cheap prices while some had sky-high prices. Take for example the Sky Armament middle-grade, it priced a terrifying half a million purple stones!

While he was walking, he sensed an existence of someone he was familiar in his back. Jin Rou reacted by looking back who it was and discovered it was the black-cloaked young lady.
Jin Rou was bewildered and murmured, ”Just how adamant you Yuria Agis, the Goddess of Fate, letting us meet? Are you trying to matchmake me with her?!”
”What are you doing here?” The black-cloaked young lady said in a genderless voice, she was also bewildered. Just how many times do they have to meet? This was scarier than coincidence! It seemed that fate was toying with them.
”That should be my question. What are you doing here, young lady?” Jin Rou said instinctively.
”Young lady?” The black-cloaked young lady subconsciously took a step back with her eyes widened, her expression was really taken aback as if she saw a ghost, ”How... how...”
Jin Rou finally realized that he made a mistake this time. This young lady was sure a while ago, that he could not see through her. However, just the word 'young lady' spoke everything.
He found this incredibly awkward and smile wryly.
