133 The Origin Of Refining (2/2)
Although it was called a city, Titan City was barely even a village. It didn't even have a city wall around it! Along what few roads it had, Wang Yu saw a few nearly three metre tall NPCs trying to hawk their wares even though there were no players around.
Titan City was incredibly simple and crude in construction and devoid of any other players. In all honesty, even a beginner village was in a better state of affairs than this…
In the origin story of the game, titans were the descendants of the god that created the world. However, the creator began to fear the strength of the titans and ”rewarded” them with the territory in the north as thanks for assisting him in the creation of the world.
Of course, the reason that the god had done this was because the titans weren't good people either. The system didn't go into detail when talking about it but the issue had something to do with the their marriages. Despite this, the titan's strength were undoubtable.
The players in Titan City were few and far between mostly due to the weather. The temperature in Titan CIty was -30 degrees all year round. It was already cold enough in the real world since it was winter so unless players had a quest here, they would even think about coming.
Since there were barely any players, Wang Yu knew that he wouldn't be able to find anyone to gather clues about his quest. Thus, he had no choice but to talk to the NPCs.
Although the titan clan were part of the neutral faction, their relationship with the dragon race wasn't very good. Because of this, Wang Yu's negative familiarity with the dragon race made him a minor celebrity here.
After strolling around the village, Wang Yu decided to check the smithy first. Since his sub-class was related to an ordinary Blacksmith in some ways, he wanted to try out his own forging skills. What's more, it was a Smithy, so of course there would be fire and warmth…
Entering the Smithy, Wang Yu saw a topless titan currently hammering away at a piece of metal.
”Hello!” Wang Yu greeted.
Looking up, the titan put down his hammer and warmly smiled: ”Honourable dragon slayer, how may I help you?”
”Do you know anything about the Titan's Heart?”
”I'm really sorry but I don't… Maybe you can try asking Zeus?”
”Zeus? Who's that?” Wang Yu asked.
”He's our leader! His might is matchless...”
”Thanks for your help then!” Wang Yu replied and turned around to leave.
”Aren't you going to buy anything?” The titan asked.
”No… Not really...” Wang Yu awkwardly replied. When he was walking in, Wang Yu had already gotten a good look his wares and they were all trash.
”That's a pity… I'm actually the best blacksmith in Titan City you know...” The titan sighed.
”If you were in a city, you'd probably only be an apprentice with your level of skill you know...” Wang Yu laughed.
”It's not my fault, the hammer's that people make these days can't withstand my strength… If I had a good quality hammer then I'd be able to show the true abilities of the titan race's refining!”
”Refining?” Wang Yu gulped and then asked: ”What kind of hammer do you need?”
”Zeus has a good hammer with him, can you help me borrow it?”
