Chapter 57 - The Defeated Blacksmith (2/2)

”I see no wonder it is filled with energy, what a minute kid, what beast did you just say own these bones” asked the dwarf who was already complimenting the bone until he heard Jason calling the name of the beast.

”It belongs to the horn leopard, what is the problem?” replied Jason who later became scared of the look the dwarf had on his face.

”Nothing, I am completely fine, it is just that I am surprised you are able to get your hand on the remains of the horned leopard” said the dwarf as he began to access the bones.

”Actually I killed it myself ” replied Jason with a satisfied look on his face.

”Don't make me laugh kid, if you tell me the grand elder did I will understand not a kid like who can't even hold a knife” said the dwarf as he gave Jason a stare.

”I knew you won't believe me even if you saw it happen before your very own eyes” replied Jason with a sigh.

”You got that right kiddo” said the dwarf with a laugh.

”Do you think you will be able to make a fine weapon out of this bone” asked Jason.

”As long as the required materials are available, there is nothing I can't forge so tell me kid what weapon do you want me to make for you” replies the dwarf in full confidence.

”Will it be possible for you to make a staff out of it” asked Jason.

The dwarf was stunned by Jason's question as he turned to give him a look before replying.

”It will be an easy task for me to make a staff but don't you think that will be a waste of fine material”.

”What do you mean by that” asked Jason.

”If you were to make a sword or saber out of the bone, it would be more useful than a staff that can't take a life” replied the dwarf.

”That is why I want you to make a staff that will be able to break a head” said Jason with a smile.

”Be serious for once kid, what we are talking about here could very much prove to be useful in times of need so don't just make decisions without thinking about the disadvantages” replied the dwarf.

”Let me ask you this question, what weapon is best used as defense and attack” asked Jason as he rested his hand on his cheek while waiting for the dwarf to give his answer.

”Well if you asked me I will say the staff is the best weapon for defense and attack but still I will suggest you pick a spear since it is no different from a bow at least you will be able to do my than enough damage to your enemy and at the same time defend yourself from danger” replied the dwarf.

After hearing what the dwarf had to say, Jason turned to the bracelet for a reply.

”So what do you think about the spear”.

”It should be more than enough for you to reign over your peers” replies the bracelet.

Turning back to the dwarf who can't get his eyes off the bones, Jason clears his throat to get his attention.

”After thinking about it for sometime, I think I will go for a spear but make sure to make me a good weapon” Said Jason.

”You can rest assured kid since you brought this material for me to work on, I promise to forge a weapon that your peers will be so envious of” replied the dwarf with assurance.

”No, what is the point of making my peers envy my weapon if I won't be able to keep it for long” said Jason with a wave of his hand.

”Why do you say that, don't you want to own a weapon that is more attractive than those of your peers” asked the dwarf.

”If you make something that is shinier than theirs, then it won't be long before it gets stolen” replied Jason.

”So what do you want me to do, make you a weapon that is worse in grade compared to the others” asked the dwarf.

”Of course not, who will want to have a weapon with low quality when you have the chance to get a weapon with higher quality” reply Jason.

”So what do you want me to do” asked the dwarf as he was getting confused about everything.

”Easy, just make it look more ugly to the eyes” replied Jason with a smile.
