Chapter 605: Nina and Linos Situation (1/2)

The fire raged in the forger while Krune looked at the temperature on display that kept increasing. After some time, it stabilized at a certain point. Krune kept looking inside and sending his Godly Energy to fuel the fire. Suddenly...

*Crack*

The sound of something breaking came from inside, and the saber he was crafting was lost. Still, Krune didn't seem unhappy.

'I see... So the purity of the Godly Energy affects the forging to this point. I'm very close to finding my own limit with my cultivation. Fortunately, my Godly Energy Meridians are also very good for this kind of thing. Should I start using Purple Flames now?'

So far, Krune practiced without using his Purple Flames. After all, what good would it make if he couldn't even create equipment with normal ones? Krune spent his last two months trying to find his own bottleneck with Godly Energy Forging.

'No, let's just spend a few more days to be sure where I'm standing. After that, I can start the Purple Flame forging.'

Krune took some more materials and immediately restarted his forging. Three days later, Krune came out of his workshop. From the looks on his face, he seemed very satisfied with the results of his practice. He then went to the counter and asked to take the Blacksmith Test.

Sometime later, Krune was asked to forge one equipment at the Stars Path Level or higher. The forging process went without any mishaps, and soon, a Three Stars Stars View Equipment appeared. Of course, it was just a piece of standard equipment made without Purple Flames. Still, that was more than enough to prove Krune's level.

Later that day, Krune received his Blacksmith Guild Badge as well as the access to the Blacksmith Network. He accessed it and went straight for the rare materials. At the moment, his Stars Path Shields are nothing more than Diamond Stars Level in the Godly Path Realm. He has to make new ones to use. Even if his Shields' level was not affected, the fact is that they were still too weak for his actual Cultivation Level now. One must remember that he had created them at the Divine Path Realm cultivation. His cultivation has gone an entire Realm above now.

Krune didn't come back into the workshop. Instead, he went back to his restaurant since it was almost time to began another week of work.

Back in the city, Krune arrived at his restaurant but noticed something weird. It was empty; no one was around, even his employees. It was supposed to be open at the moment, so he got confused.

'Perhaps they took a day off?'

He went outside the restaurant to take a look when suddenly, someone came running in his direction.

”Chef Krune! You are finally back.”

Krune immediately recognized that person.

”Oh, Its senior Kylie. Did something happen?”

Kylie was the owner of the store in front of Krune's restaurant. Ever since Krune's business opened, his own business also improved. After all, it wasn't easy for a Spiritual Food Chef to appear. Krune's restaurant success obviously improved the movement in his store as well.

”Two days ago, the City Guards came to take your employees away. Since it was the week that you were off, I thought that perhaps you didn't know it.”

”What?!”

Krune was taken aback. Why would the City Guards take his employees away? Everyone knows that he is a Sky Shifting Sect member; the City Lord is also an elder of the same sect. He couldn't understand what could have happened for such a thing to happen.

”Why didn't they contact me?”

Kylie shook his head.

”I don't know. Perhaps they didn't want to give you trouble. Anyway, you should go to their headquarters and take a look.”

Krune nodded.

”Very well. Thank you, senior Kylie.”

Krune didn't waste time and dashed away. He also contacted Iem, but the later didn't know anything about what was happening.

As one can imagine, the City Guards Headquarters was located in the City Center. Krune only needed to take a teleport formation, and he arrived there quite fast. He entered the build and went straight to the counter. The attendant then looked at him before asking.

”How can I help you?”

”The employees of my restaurant had been taken away by the City Guards two days ago. I was in the sect practicing, so I only found out about it now.”

The guy checked about the incidents recently when his expression suddenly changed.

”Please wait here a moment.”

Sometime later, a man with a golden badge representing the City Guards came to talk with Krune.

”Sir Krune, would you mind following me?”

Krune found the situation suspicious, but he nodded in the end.

He was soon guided to a closed room in the building. There, he found Bai and his other employees. However, Nina and Lino were nowhere to be found.

”Chef Krune!”

Krune's eyes narrowed, and he asked the man behind him.

”What is happening here? Where are Nina and Lino? I heard you guys took them away as well. As far as I know, no one in my restaurant has ever broken any City Laws. Also, why was I not contacted straight away after what happened? I'm the owner of the restaurant, you know?”

The man smiled and shook his head.
