Chapter 94: Preparations (1/2)
The time passed. Everyone was eager for the upcoming event. They were immersed in the preparations. Elora was brewing potions with her all might. Sometimes Zelie would come and help her. Her attitude had improved a lot and from an acquaintance, she had become Elora's friend. While in the other hall, Hot Rod worked with his son and Melvona, forging all kinds of artefacts. His speed was almost eye-popping.
After all, he was a Rank 1 Artisan, forging Elementary Rank artefacts was nothing for him. It was only when he forged Common Rank artefacts would he struggle. He would even fail from time to time. However, Kadyn had provided five to six kinds of Common Rank metals and in quite a large quantity.
He had purchased them from the Virtual Shop. In the beginning, when Hot Rod saw the heap of Common Rank metals he was left completely dumbstruck. He realised that they were the same metals that Kadyn had taken from him but in much larger quantities. However, he didn't dare to ask Kadyn anything.
On the other hand, Kadyn spent his days slouching on his chair, handling customers. In the night he meditated and fought in the Practice Hall and studied Formation Building. He had awakened ten stars of most of the elements. Only Space, Summoning, and Psychic had yet to awaken the tenth star. Kadyn worked hard to awaken their tenth star in the meantime, but his main focus was to assimilate other elements with the Blessing Pool.
While others were working hard Khrom didn't stay idle. He was the one who dealt with the herb suppliers and metals suppliers in the city. After all, Kadyn couldn't waste his energy points on buying low-level metals that he could easily get in the city. And it was Khrom who dealt with this matter.
Of course, Kadyn didn't let him do all the work for free. He had earned quite a few energy points in this time. Furthermore, his Loyalty had reached 15% if it wasn't for the energy points he would have already advanced to the Bronze Rank Employee.
Elora's condition wasn't much different from Khrom either. Her Loyalty was already at an eye-popping level of 90%, but due to the lack of Energy Points, she could not advance. However, even then, she had already reached the Bronze Rank from Iron. After all, her speed of earning the points was far greater than Khrom while her Loyalty was already at such a strikingly high level.
”We are leaving tomorrow,” Khrom said as he stood in front of Kadyn. Then went on. ”I have talked with Leader Barret, he said that Patriarch Irabel himself is going to accompany the caravan this time.”
”He is going himself?” Kadyn asked in surprise.
”He usually does not accompany them to the Orddono. However, the attacks of bandits have become quite frequent in this period. He doesn't want to lose his precious valuable so he decided to go himself.” Khrom explained in a confident tone. He seemed to know everything about the city.
”How're our preparations?” he turned towards Hot Rod who stood not far away from Khrom. ”I hope we have enough artefacts for the gathering and of the finest quality.”
”I can assure you that our product can be counted as one of the best qualities in the gathering.” Hot Rod said and wiped the sweat trickling over his forehead.
