Chapter 20

Name:Night of the Broken Gliph Author:
Chapter 20

Gliphs are ever-changing, and so are gliphers. There are many different weapons to counter different kinds of gliphers. The most commonly used and versatile style of weapon crafting is fire forging. You can make many different weapons using fire forging.

But the fire element does not go well with wood and water;its grass and water that allows each other to exist.

Since were the grass hall, every weapon here is of the grass element. As he was explaining to his young masters friend, the shopkeeper did a thorough job. Furthermore, the sight of Chui Yim listening attentively and even taking down notes motivated him to teach sincerely.

This is a spiky wood sword, the shopkeeper said as he took a sword from the shelf. Its made from branches of the spiky tree. After its processed, it has a gliph carved on it. Here, have a feel. The shopkeeper wore a cheeky smile on his face as he passed the sword to Chui Yim.

Chui Yim kept his notes and took the spiky wood sword. However, he was taken aback once he picked it up. Its as heavy as a metal sword!

The shopkeeper was surprised to see that Chui Yim didnt drop the heavy sword. Kids these days are strong! But since hes an academy student, its not that shocking.

The Grass style only became famous in the south about a hundred years ago. Look at the spiky wood sword in your hands; its made of gliphic plants. Because its not too heavily processed, it brought out the features of the plant fully instead.

The shopkeeper gave a thorough explanation, but Chui Yim wasnt listening anymore because he was busy inspecting the sword in his hands.

In his previous life, he was a legendary metalsmith who forged divine weapons, the best around. With a glance, he deciphered how the grass refining style worked.

The books that Chui Tin forced me to read didnt go to waste at all. Thanks to the Continents Botanic that Ive already memorized, I could understand the spiky wood sword.

The spiky tree was a gliphic plant. Born with a botanical gliph, the tree had a trunk as strong as steel. Moreover, the spiky wood sword was forged with grass refining style. Unlike the fire forging style, liquids were used to tattoo gliphs in the wood to strengthen the original botanical gliph found on the wood. One could even say that the twig of the spiky tree was a natural weapon. By forging and processing it with grass refining techniques, the branch was now more suitable for battle after its appearance was changed and features strengthened.

It sounded like fantasy, but it was very suitable for places like the south, which was filled with gliphic plants.

What about water casting?

Wha what He blacked out and fainted.



Chui Yim walked onwards with his head low, pondering.

Other than the grass hall, he went to some other shops too and used his likeable, cute face to get information from other shop keepers. But all the information was similar.

What surprised him was that grass refining and water casting styles were the most popular weapon forging styles now, and it was all because of the way the southerners tattooed gliphs. In the south, most people used gliphic plants as their ingredients. It was gentler this way, and they preferred to use natural ingredients.

This was why the water casting and grass refining style, which processed and refined natural ingredients into weapons, was more popular than the fire forging style, where the smith had to smelt down and re-forge the materials. The water casting style was very similar to grass style, just that water style made use of more water type gliphs and processed ingredients with them.

Chui Yim was greatly interested in the weapons of this world. It might be the gliphs, but the weapons in this world were of way better quality than the one back on the Sallow Continent. Perhaps also because of gliphs, the weapons here had much more function and power.

Before he knew it, he reached the end of the weapon street.

Chui Yim looked around. Just as he was going to return to school, an ordinary store caught his eyes. To be exact, it was the sign that caught his eyes. The shop was called Kiu Clans Divine Weapons.

Divine weapons?



When Chui Yim walked into the store, warm air hit his face.

The entire shop looked old. The counter was made of wood and looked like it had been around for a very long time. The whole shop even smelled ancient. However, it was sparkling clean, and there was hardly a speck of dust to be seen.

Soon enough, a sword caught Chui Yims eyes. It wasnt sharp, and it looked like a metal rod instead.

But it still piqued Chui Yims interest.
