Though both of them were hard ones to make, Balthazar was confident that he could create them without much difficulty and that he would not have much issue with either of them. He also didn't care much about the weapons not being that frequently used as he was sure that he could convince at least Rudra to have some of the guild members try them out once he explained it.
With the designs in hand, he contacted Rudra who had already sent the materials required with another forging apprentice of the guild. The forging apprentice he had sent was a well-known player in other games.
His alias was always Hammer and Tongs and had been asking Rudra to make him the guild head forger. He had the reputation for being a well accomplished forger in the other games and had been the head forger of a first-rate guild called Valkyrie Brigade in the game War God's Tempest. He was always forging and kept asking for more materials. He had only joined them as they offered more materials than others at the Blackrock town.
So, Rudra told him that he had already had one forger who already created equipment and thus wanted to make Shadow, the head forger of the guild, at least for now. Unconvinced that the Shadow who was well known to be an ace fighter to also be an accomplished forger, Hammer had requested Rudra to meet him. Rudra also didn't want to lose a capable forger player. So, he had sent him to Shadow with the materials.
Shadow used his disguise skill and met with Hammer and Tongs at the receptionist. Hammer was a plump man with well-defined arm muscles, and he wore a pair of goggles. Balthazar also recognized Hammer and sent a friend request. Hammer was a one of the Master Forger players in his past life and was quite well-known.
Hammer wanted to check Shadows skills. He realized quite some time ago that without sufficient real-life skills, it would hard to be a successful forger. So, he immediately requested him if he could observe.
”You want to look at my forging?” asked Shadow confused. ”I haven't done anything that outstanding in forging yet nor was there any system announcement. Why does he want to check me out?” thought Balthazar.
”Give me a minute,” said Shadow as he contacted Rudra about it. He soon came to know of Rudra's dilemma.
”Can you let him look at you. He is a very capable player and wants to know why you are being the head forger. It would be for the best, if you manage to convince him. He is the best in our employ after you and probably would lead forging division in your absence,” requested Rudra.
”Fine, I will try my best. I think it is best if you make him the head forger though. I wouldn't be available for most of the time and giving me that position is not really effective,” said Balthazar.
”Fine either way, but I want to reduce his consumption a bit. He is forging a lot of equipment just to increase his forging proficiency. I hope you can calm him down a little,” said Rudra.
”I get your point. Bye,” said Balthazar cutting off the call.
”You can watch me work. Come along,” said Shadow as he went towards the receptionist.
”One intermediate forging room please,” he requested the NPC and took a token for six hours after paying her the amount. He wanted to increase his experience as much as possible as he wouldn't be able to join the game for a day.
His purchase caused a small commotion among the players, most of whom went around calling him a rich kid who came to waste money. Even Hammer and Tongs didn't use an intermediate forging room as it cost ten times the basic room. So, he was also surprised that Shadow would take an intermediate forging room.
But hammer still kept his calm and followed Shadow without saying anything. They soon reached the first floor and got into an intermediate forging room.
”You have been in an intermediate forging room before?” asked Shadow noticing that Hammer was looking at the various equipment present in the room.
”No. This is my first time,” said Hammer.
”Ok. Let me introduce you to the basics. You can see the various lathe modules, forging tools, etc,” said Shadow pointing to them. ”Allows us to carve most materials to the required shapes for weapons and materials for tools.”
”You can have a look at it yourself. Maybe try to use them to make the Antelope Horn spear?” suggested Shadow. ”But these aren't the best part. The forge is much more advanced. It has a temperature gauge. The Mystic fire at the room allows us a finer control of the metal and its temperature.”
”Lastly, a magic stylus. It allows us to create magic pathways and carve runes which are seen in some rare equipment,” said Shadow pointing at it. ”Only used it for one equipment. I think it might be more frequently used at higher levels.”
”These would be very important for tier 1 equipment onwards. It is best if I introduce them to him,” thought Balthazar.
