Chapter 216: Bless the great Shiva! (1/2)

This instant of realization led to the silence between both sides l.

Suddenly, it became easy to hear the movement of the air around them.

After a while, Quinn took a bow and smiled, ”Well, if it isn't my favourite customer. Come in. I have been expecting you.”

He totally ignored the words he threw at the duo.

Worst of all, he even had the guts to claim to have been expecting them.

Jake sighed and went along. After all, he wasn't here for trouble.

Entering the forge, Jake had to admit that it was even more beautiful than it looked outside.

The walls of the building sparkled like delicately clean crystals and the uneven edges of their surfaces made everything feel more natural.

Jake and Kaleyx nodded their heads as they assessed the front room of the forge.

Looking at their expression, Quinn laughed out loud, ”How is it? Good, right? Hahaha, all who had come said the same thing.”

Not to talk of his tendency to boast, his habit of always assuming was annoying.

Nevertheless, Jake let it slide.

It wasn't every day he met such a refreshing man.

Walking up to the front desk, Jake asked, ”How far are you with the items?”

”No need to worry. I'm don't done with the lesser items like the throwing weapons and the armour pieces. Possibly, I will be done with everything by the end of the day….that is if I don't sleep throughout the night,” informed Quinn.

The craftsman then voiced out his doubts, ”What are the two of you doing here? Could it be that you are planning to back out from the plan?”

”No,” sighed Jake.

”Then, may I ask why you seek me?” politely smiled Quinn.

His smile fully conveyed how relieved he felt that they weren't backing out.

Facing his question, Jake didn't reply. Instead, he brought out the silver ruplix from his [Spatial Ring].

The appearance of the ring stunned Quinn.

His sharp eye examined the crystal that was given to him.

He patiently tried to decipher its identity from the high library of knowledge that existed in his brain.

A few seconds passed and Quinn's mouth soon draped, ”I-I-Is that what I think it is?”

He brought the crystal directly in front of his eye to confirm.

If it was exactly what he thought, then a mere increase in his tone wasn't enough to express his disbelief.

He looked at the duo's impassive faces and realized that they were being serious, which also meant they knew what it was.

”A silver Ruplix!!! Bless the great Shiva!” exclaimed Quinn.

It seemed like the worth of a silver Ruplix was greater than Jake had imagined.

Quinn acted like he married the most beautiful woman in the world. This couldn't be more expressed especially when he drooled in the sight of the crystal

His eyes beamed at Jake, ”The crystals were said to have gone extinct. The only ones left are those that have been kept for centuries, which are in the possession of wealthy families with a long legacy. Where did you possibly get something like this?”

Instantly, he realized he had gone overboard.

A craftsman should ask for personal information from his customer, except when absolutely required.

”Don't answer that,” apologized Quinn.

He took a breath and claimed himself before he continued, ”Since you brought the crystal to me, I assume that you have already consumed its sister crystal, the purple ruplix?”

Jake nodded in reply.

”Fantastic. I understand your plan for the crystal. With this in my hand, I'm sure of creating a terrific weapon. No, the greatest weapon I have ever made. It would be my life's work”

His boastful words hit every corner of the shop.

After a few rounds of imagining the creation of his hands, Quinn beckoned at them as he walked to a corner of the shop, ”Come. Luckily, you came right on time as we forgot to collect your blood yesterday. Now that you are here personally, I wouldn't have to walk to the hotel just for that.”

Joyously, Quinn tapped on the floor and revealed a staircase that led deep in the ground.

The moment the duo faced the staircase, hot wisps of air attacked them.

The hot condition of the air spoke well of what they should expect going inside.

The two of them thought, 'Below is the real forge.'

They followed Quinn's lead into the forge room below.

After walking through the stair, the duo was met with a room that felt the closest to the sun.

Even for warriors like them, the high temperature was unbearable. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was as hot as the strongest attack of a cultivator with [Fire Element Affinity].
