Chapter 1428 1428. Mordant’s Blacksmith

Name:Master of none Author:1King_Rep1
Hours passed by while everyone was more and more absorbed by the crafters competition. Those with children had brought them to bed for the night while most who could manage it stayed up. Some crafters caused damage to their items and gave up due to their mistakes while working. Staying up all night to craft was a limit some had at their age.

Others were exceeding their potentials. It was clear that some had entered a meditative state where other contestants and the crowd were nothing. Not even there. The wood working twins seemed to be as such.

They were carving rune after rune across every single wooden piece they carved. It was considered well above their level and to support it, they drank mana potions. They had been able to purchase them for a discount due to the high number of mana and health potions created during the alchemy tournament.

A few of the other participants had attempted true spirit forging but failed to be able to control the amount of elemental mana that was provided by the elemental spirits. This was an easy problem to have. The purity of the mana and the control of the mana both required stronger will to safely use. This was why the less experienced crafters were losing out. That did not mean that they had failed. Most of them had decided to go without the true spirit crafting skills and remain with regular runes or forging. They still had a chance.

Many in the crowd had fallen in love with how well the wandering blacksmith worked. Not many had seen someone with such skill working so efficiently. Multiple elemental spirits had shown up to assist him in creating the main tools for multiple crafting professions. The tool sets he had completed were enough to hand out to multiple people already, yet, he had still not stopped.

"Your friend and champion have something interesting there." Mordant saw the light and dark elemental spirits move together to help Rodney begin to forge something now that the pieces and materials were ready for assembly.

"It looks like those flames are being used for a dual elemental creation. That is to be expected since the golden flame hearts should yield such things." Ignus used it as the pride of dragons to be able to help someone achieve such things.

,m "It looks like a sword and shield pair. But the shield is shaped pretty oddly…The shield is the sheath!" Walker realized that Rodney was making a light elemental shield that was also a sheath for a darkness elemental sword. They would work in balance but also be more powerful together. It was something that was not normally made but would be perfect for a warrior that used dark and light elemental skills or skills that could gain an elemental affinity.

"I just wonder how he was able to convince a light elemental spirit to help him. I know you two should have caught on by now. The light elemental spirits are the hardest to convince. Especially if they are going to help when the light elemental mana is the weakest. Such as now since its dark outside." Walker was clear about why he was surprised by Rodney.

"It is a wonder why that would be. But it is hard to make certain light affinity dragons do things as well." Ignus and Mordant both shared a knowing glance. Walker had yet to experience such things.

"I will keep that in mind." Walker knew he would deal with this at a later time. "Oh, someone is going up with a bracer made of leather."

Walker watched as a simple bracer made of leather was brought up to the main arena. The king of the deep caves called over multiple appraisal experts from the merchants, Garnet family auction house, and crafting guild. They discussed shortly before the item was handed back and the leatherworker told to wait further.

"It seems they were not outstanding but still very good. I can tell they had issues in their darkness affinity runes from here. The mana is gathering but not flowing." Mordant had the best opinion of this so he did not argue. "However, I like that child there. The young dwarf is crafting blind. He has near perfect mastery of those darkness elemental runes."

The boy that Mordant was watching had cloth over his eyes. It was clear he had been burned by some accident. But that was nothing to him, he was still forging carefully and efficiently. He had two darkness elemental spirits next to him while he carved darkness elemental runes on to a halbert.

"I will be taking him." Mordant jumped up and flapped his wings to descend to the main arena. The boy had completed his work and was being assisted to the main arena. Walker could see Mordant speaking with the king of the deep caves about offering a reward to the boy.

"For the first time in this competition, we have someone worthy of a reward. This was not decided by us, but the reward will stand. The royal dragon Mordant has seen an incredible affinity for crafting darkness elemental runes and forging darkness elemental items. This has brought him to offer a sponsorship to this young man here!" The crow lost it. They couldn't imagine such a hidden reward.

'',

"He had to make a scene here. Just to get one blacksmith in his village." Ignus was jealous and scoffed at it even though he knew how amazing this was.

The boy was on the verge of jumping around. It took all his energy just to remain standing. The two darkness elemental spirits stayed by his side and even seemed to be speaking with him. Walker smiled seeing that a deserving person was benefiting. As a gift, the boy even held out the darkness affinity halberd to Mordant who accepted and spoke with him. It was the biggest happening yet in the competition.
