Chapter 904: Quarrel in the Forge
"Since you are trying so hard to sell dream service to me, I guess I really should experience it at least once while I am here," Valefor said, making Astarte smile with anticipation.
The Redsong Territory never had such a high-level patron before.
She definitely wanted to get the Heavenly Devil addicted to her territory's services so she could earn more high-quality materials from him.
Astarte felt an insatiable appetite for more [Decamillenium-Year Blazewood Branches]. After all, the [Decamillenium-Year Blazewood] was a priceless material for weapon forging. Although it was originally a tenacious wood, it acquired some toughness of metal and absorbed the destructiveness of fire.
As long as it could be refined with some supplementary materials, a peerless divine weapon with the power of the [Eternal Purpleflame] could be born.
Why wouldn't any weapon refiner be interested in tackling such a challenge?
Alas, Astarte's ambitious goal was shattered by Valefor's following comment, "Not now, though; later. I want to take a look at your forges and see how divine weapons are refined." "U-Understood, Your Excellency," Astarte acknowledged, feeling slightly disappointed. Nevertheless, she quickly fixed her expression and then proceeded to lead Valefor to the Dark Dwarves' forge district.
Although the Dark Dwarves took on most of the weapon-refining orders in the business, Valefor didn't believe they possessed the best divine weapon-refining technique in the Redsong Territory.
After all, how could the best divine weapons be carelessly sold to everyone?
That was like boosting the strength of their competitors and undermining their own strength. As such, the divine weapons created by the Dark Dwarf Clan had to be at least one rank lower than what Astarte could make.
Even so, the Dark Dwarf Clan's divine weapon refining techniques were still centuries ahead of Pangea.
They were worth looking at.
Nevertheless, the main purpose of Valefor's trip to the Dark Dwarf Clan's forge district was not to look at the Dark Dwarf Clan's divine weapon refining techniques.
Since Valefor was going to get the best divine weapon refining technique from Astarte, he didn't care too much about the Dark Dwarf Clan's divine weapon refining techniques.
Even if he had learned Astarte's divine weapon refining technique, he wouldn't have wanted to spend all his time refining divine weapons.
As such, his main purpose for visiting the Dark Dwarf Clan's forge district was to study the Dark Dwarves and recruit some weapon refiners to work for him.
With Astarte's divine weapon refining technique, it shouldn't be difficult to poach some Dark Dwarves and bring them back to his own territory.
Regardless of their innate attribute, dwarves were famous for their craftsmanship and love for metal.
As such, the Dark Dwarf Clan could be tasked to build high-level cities with sophisticated designs and architecture; they didn't have to be limited to weapon refinement.
...
When Valefor and Astarte arrived at the Dark Dwarf Clan's forge district, they immediately felt the sharp increase in heat.
The booming industry of weapon refining was filled with the smothering-hot flames from furnaces and the thunderous strikes of hammers.
It was also very rowdy; curses and spits flew around as the Dark Dwarves urged each other to work harder and faster. It was as if they were seriously behind on their orders.
However, that was not the case; they were just diligent and passionate in their craft.
In the divine weapon research section, a senior divine weapon researcher searched the area with urgency, seemingly looking for someone but couldn't find the person.
"Dammit! The furnaces have been fired up, and work has commenced more than two hours ago! Why isn't Team Leader Rudrec here to lead the project yet?! If this continues, we will lose to Team Two!"
"Team Leader Rudrec went to bust his load over at Sweet Pink District again, Senior Gilmulir! You know how he is!"
"What the hell is Team Leader Rudrec doing there at this time of the day?! We are in the middle of a competition with Team Two, for fuck sakes! Can we do nothing but watch Team Two take the lead in designing their new divine weapon while we wait?!"
"Sorry for being late, everyone. There was a bit of traffic on the way."
Just as Gimulir was feeling hopeless, Team Leader Rudrec arrived with a timely apology. Gimulir became even more upset due to his casual attitude.
The team leader was not taking the competition seriously!
"You are letting the whole team down, Team Leader! We are still waiting for your new divine weapon design! We can't start unless you provide it! Are you even taking this competition seriously?!"
"Of course I am! What other reason do I have for going over to the Sweet Pink District to bust a load at this time of the day?"
Team Leader Rudrec's reply immediately dumbfounded the whole of Team One. Not long after, they cursed furiously.
"What kind of bullshit reason is that?! What the hell does your private business have to do with our competition?"
"Of course, it has everything to do with it! If I don't bust a nut, how could I possibly come up with the best weapon design to help us win? If I don't nut before designing our new weapon, we won't be able to stand a chance of winning! Furthermore, this is a competition, not a race. Relax, Gilmulir!"
Gimulir almost coughed up blood in anger. He had never heard such twisted logic. freёweɓnovel.com
"There is something wrong with your head, Team Leader! I think you have gone crazy from visiting the Sweet Pink District too much!"
"Sigh! You don't understand a thing, Gimulir! Nutting helps me think! You must be dreaming if you expect me to come up with a good weapon design without post-nut clarity. That would be pre-nut delusion!"
"Are you actually being serious, Team Leader...?" Gimulir was speechless.
"Hey, you can question my methods, but you shouldn't doubt my genius," Rudrec coolly stated before mentioning, "I have won countless weapon design awards this way. It's been
tried and tested."
"If you can't trust my words, then you should at least trust my design," Rudrec said, unrolling a divine weapon design blueprint on the work table for everyone to see.
When Gimulir and the other team members saw the exquisite weapon design, they quickly sucked in a mouthful of air.
They had never seen such a unique and interesting sword design; it made their blood pumped with excitement. They couldn't wait to work on it.
Rudrec certainly didn't become their team leader by luck. Everyone had no choice but to
acknowledge his ability.
"What an interesting person."
Valefor smiled with amusement, having witnessed the entire quarrel from a distance with
Astarte.
