14 The Forging Hall (1/2)
Dean and Gilet was almost at the peak of the hill, his body was aching all over the act of climbing up this hill was strenuous for him at his current state that he almost passed out there and then, however Dean didn't let out even a groan and quietly went up the hill.
As they approach the peak of the hill Dean slowly saw the silhouette of the building was beginning to become a full image, after walking for a little more he got close enough and finally he saw the clear view of the building that was in front of him.
He stopped his steps and gaze upon the magnificence of the gigantic scale of the structure in front of him, with his mouth hung open he heard Gilet talk by his side ”Do you see this? This is the ”Magnificent Forging Hall” of the Black Turquoise academy, this is one of three best forging hall that every artificer in the Green Forest city want to work in.
”The materials that you will need to forge an artifact of up to Saint Grade can be found here, although some rare materials that's specific to the type of artifact that will be forge have to be procured directly by the artificer most of the basic material can be found here even some of the rare ones.
”This is the place that you will be working in, after you memorize everything in the book I gave you tonight you will officially become my helper in forging an artifact, but for now I only brought you here in order for you to get accustomed at the forging hall.
”I will not be with you all day and I need to go as I have other things to take care of, go inside the forging hall and find the man name Heto he will know what to do, go now and learn everything that you will need for tomorrow do not embarrass me.” Saying all of this in a fast way he left just as fast as he spoke, even his black robes were fluttering as the wind started to blow.
Dean stood there all alone, in front of the Forging Hall with the cold wind on his face he proceeded to enter the hall. Getting closer he had started hearing the metal being hit by a hammer time and time again.
From the outside the clear sounds of the banging sounds of an iron being strike multiple times was like the sound of thunder up in the sky. If not for the fact that he knew what was near him, Dean would have thought that it would be raining later at noon time.
He made his decision and entered the forging hall, upon entering what welcomed him was the sight of various shelves that stretch in the entire first floor of the hall, he raised his heads and saw various signs hanging in the air.
The signs all had different words written on them, and with their different words the symbols that was drawn beside it was also different same with the color of every sign and shelves the signs were all hanged using a chains that had the design of two snakes coiling at one another.
The first five shelves near him were all colored black with a sign that says ”Spirit Cores”, and on its left were another five shelves colored Yellow and a sign that says ”Earth elemental materials”, there were other shelves that had different colors than the others and had different sign and name in it.
Many people run around the first floor of the hall young, middle-age, old, man or woman many were running around as they take the various materials that they needed from the shelves. All of these people were all wearing the same black clothes and as for the youths in the forging hall they all wore the same clothes.
Seeing that everyone had their own jobs and were all running around Dean walked around the area on his own trying not to be a bother and an obstacle for them to maneuver around. Walking, he saw a desk near the stairs that leads to the second floor, seeing the desk Dean walked there and spoke to the man who was seating on a chair behind the desk with a book on his right hand.
The man looked tall even when he was seated, his face was not that handsome but it was masculine enough for him to have a face to be proud of, however his back was slightly slouch and his clothes were a mess making him look like a slob.
”Excuse me, can I have moment of your time?” Dean bowed to the man behind the desk and greeted him in a polite manner.
Seeing the young man in front of him bow to greet him the man behind the desk, with an irritated voice he said ”What do you want kid? If you're looking for the ”Snow Pollen” we are out and will need another 2 days before we get a new batch of it, if you want to know the reason why it's taking too long then I only that some bandits are attacking our supplier and it will need another day for the students who took the mission of getting rid of this bandits another 2 days so wait until then, now scram kid I'm doing something important.”
Dean listened to the long explanation of the man behind the desk, he didn't say anything to him as he didn't want sound rude and so seeing that he had finish talking Dean said ”No I am not for that, what I am here for is to know where…”
