Chapter 108: Transforming into a Bee! (1/2)

The second day of the convention began. One could tell just by a single look that there were greater numbers of people today in comparison to yesterday. The people from different places of the Shado Empire or outside the empire would arrive today, and tomorrow would be the end and finale of the gathering. Some people would leave with smiles over their faces while some might lose all hopes for their future.

There was a huge part of luck in this, really. And Kadyn might be lacking most of the things, luck certainly wasn't one of them. Or, how would a braindead person like him be able to get the system in the first place?

Today his shop was also filled with lots of customers. Far greater than the previous day. Khrom and Slyff helped him in handling the crowd — though there were lots of customers only a few had any intention to buy anything.

Most of them were just looking around, or maybe some of them had ulterior motives. Kadyn could see through their intentions with just a look until they weren't Rank 1 Mage. Alas for those poor souls, they had chosen the wrong target. Kadyn gave no opening for them to steal anything, but even if he had, they wouldn't be able to steal, as soon as they had done that, Kadyn could sense it.

But he had no time to handle those morons, so he let Khrom and Slyff keep a watch over them — the duo did nothing to hide their gazes and followed those few selected ones the entire time. First, was to warn them that they were under watch. Second… well, there was no second.

Kadyn closed the shop for a time at noon for lunch and then again opened after about an hour later. And once more customers gushed into the shop. While Kadyn was inside the shop — Elora and Zelie were brewing potions inside the Potion Hall. working hard to replenish the product that had been sold out.

Not far away from them — in the Artisan Hall — Hot Rod with Dion and Melovona was forging artefacts. The huge cauldron burned in front of him as he controlled the fire with his spiritual energy and added myriads of metals and shaped them into artefacts.

Previously he had limited Common Rank metals. So he always hesitated to try forging Common Rank artefacts in the fear of failing and losing his precious metals. However, right now, he had a large amount of metals to practice so he did not hold back and forged to his heart's content — in this period his forging skills had improved exceedingly.

Now he could forge low or intermediate or even high-grade Common Rank artefacts without failing. He would only struggle when forging peak or top-grade one. Though he would struggle to forge them, he could still forge them — one of the top grade artefacts he forged was the dagger that Nefia bought from the shop. If he was Rank 2 Magus he might have already become Rank 2 artisan.

Previously he had some resentment in his heart towards Kadyn, but it slowly faded as he got to know Kadyn more and more. The boy was shrouded in a complete mystery. A mystery boy. He could not see through him. However, he knew that standing against him would be a bad, really really bad decision, and certainly the most stupid decision of his life. So he forgot the grudge that he held against Kadyn.

High ranking artisans were rare not because there weren't any talented people. But because they didn't have enough resources to practice their skills. No matter how talented someone is, he won't be able to walk much further without resources. And Kadyn was giving him just that — how could he put himself against him? He was happy to work like this for the rest of his life if he could forge artefacts and train his skills every day.

So the day ended. Slyff looked towards the door disappointedly and sighed before turning around, ”Ohh!” he stumbled back when a face appeared — and almost touched his face — in front of him, when he stabilised himself, only then did he realise that it was Kadyn. ”Looking for your girlfriend?” Kadyn grinned at him.

Slyff flushed at his comment but still nodded. Kadyn patted over his shoulders. ”She's a princess, so she can't roam around like other people whenever she wants. Furthermore, she needs to be cautious when she is around you. After all, if someone found out about your relationship, it would be a terrible matter. Terrible indeed.” Kadyn squeezed his shoulder encouragingly. ”Work hard. There'll come a day when the princes and princesses will be nothing in front of you.”

Kadyn strolled away afterwards, leaving Slyff somewhat speechless. Princes and princesses would be nothing? You must be kidding! He thought and shook his head, helplessly. Then also followed, walking towards the house.

After having dinner Slyff went out of the house, near the pond, and started to practice the spell that he had received in the morning from the library. During the day, he couldn't find time — or space — to practice. However, now he was free and had all the time. Though he was feeling a little fatigued after working the entire day in the shop, he cared little about it, as he was too excited to practice his spell.
