"Are you sure this is the place, Doravoli?" William shouted in an angry tone. They had been searching an area Doravoli had pointed out almost since morning."Of course it is! Look, this rock is still intact! My house was next to it." Even though Doravoli was shouting, he couldn't help but grunt. "Where did that damn house go?"They were three days away from Grenscar. They were in the small town of Greyscar. This town, with a population of no more than three thousand, was a blacksmith's paradise, as it was surrounded by very rich metal mines. Although these mines were not located in large mountains, they could be reached with a little digging. The area around the town was full of adventurers who wanted to find some metals for themselves. Occasionally, even second-rank mages would come and mine individually. So the town of Greyscar, with its inns and blacksmiths, was doing well.Although the population did not exceed three thousand, in certain months of the year it could easily exceed t
After William received the recipe for making the beers, he immediately began making a small wand to use the core.It was very easy to use this core and turn it into a wand. All he had to do was carve a trigger rune into the wand and connect the trigger to the core. It was just like making a modern cigarette lighter. While the user was the source of the gas, the core was where the gas was sent, and a small spark was needed to "light" the core and get it going.After struggling for about an hour and a half, a small and humble wand appeared in his hand. Although it didn't look very nice and was very short, there was no need to worry about its function.William and Doraovli drank until Lennard arrived. The beer tasted great and was great value since it was such a small amount. Maybe Doravoli drank so much just because he thought Lennard would want it, and he was lying on the ground with a swollen belly. William was not much different. He also felt his stomach swelling and had to take many
"What are you doing?" Lennard asked curiously as he approached William, who was sitting on a small mound that had survived the storm.On the small mound, William was carving something on a small piece of wood as he watched thousands of people leave for Grenscar."Trigger." As William carved the wood with a small chisel, he answered Lennard without looking up."Are you sure you really want to do this?" Lennard asked, frowning. From the beginning, William had wanted to personally explode the Atite crystals in the cave. It gave him a headache to think that William, who was still an official rank mage, would undertake such a dangerous and risky job. He had seen how genius William was, so he did not want him to participate in risky jobs.As a third-rank wind mage himself, he was well-suited for this job."I can tell you this because you took an oath. I must use this creature to the fullest. Every drop of blood is necessary for the evolution of our power. I don't want to share this body wit
Half an hour later, he spotted Lennard and Doravoli. Behind them came the people of Greyscar. Fortunately, there wasn't much destruction in the town. Only the windows of the houses and shops facing the explosion were blown out, and minor damage was caused by the impact of some rocks. A few earth mages, even apprentice mages, were able to repair the damage.William watched as Lennard and Doravoli tended to the people. A few hours later, Lennard convinced everyone and came to William. Then he waved his arm, and out of nowhere came a strong wind that blew the dusty air out into the desert. Now everyone could easily see the destruction caused by the explosion with their own eyes.Even Lennard confessed as soon as he landed next to William. "I now regret my cooperation with the Expedition Organization. Look over there!"Not only Lennard's eyes but Doravoli's as well, shone with greed. "I can forge iron for the rest of my life and still have enough to leave my children."William smiled and
The two guarded the area for a day and had fun until the next day. The townspeople never set foot in the area because Lennard had warned them. Occasionally, a few brave official mage-level adventurers would stop by, but thanks to William's ability to throw cups, the wounds they received from hundreds of meters away, and a few minor scoldings, escaping became their priority.The next day, Fabian appeared again like a meteor over Greyscar. The way he flew was so dominant, like an unstoppable rocket. It seemed as if he could crush anything that came his way. William realized that day that Fabian's speed was even slightly faster than the strengthened Lennard.Fabian came alone. There was no one behind him, and as soon as he arrived, he looked at William briefly and then quickly examined the surroundings. He didn't speak at all, and although that made William a little uncomfortable, he didn't care. He acted the same way in the first ruin he discovered. The second time he saw Fabian, he rea
"Hey Doravoli, you can't carve that wood like that!" William grabbed the flat chisel and the piece of blue ironwood out of Doravoli's hand."You never listen to what I say! Look at it again and pay attention." William began to get angry. Today was two weeks after he started teaching Doravoli blacksmithing. The two of them had almost reached the middle of the rocks. They were a little slow, but it was an acceptable pace.William held the piece of blue ironwood in his left hand and tucked it between his knees. Then he supported it firmly with his left hand and began to "float" the flat chisel on the surface of the blue ironwood with his right hand."Look, if you hold the flat chisel like this, none of the lines you make will be crooked. You have a strong body like mine, so this shouldn't be a problem for you. But you stubbornly insist on holding the flat chisel sideways, and that causes you to make little notches in the wood. Doravoli, if you want to do something of quality and worthy o
"No matter what happens, I will be with you and we will fight together." Doravoli heard everything that was said and realized that this man was after William. Even though names like 'Storm God', 'Nicolas', and 'Nak'kato' were unfamiliar to him, Doravoli would help in any way he could because he was his friend. -He knew who Nicolas was, but he didn't understand why the man in front of him cared about Nicolas.-William bowed his head. At the slightest movement of the man, he was ready to pull dozens of potions from his ring and cast his spells. He knew that this was a classic cliché and wasn't surprised that he found himself in it, but he only remained on the dark side as to why.While William was in deep thought, the man's voice filled his ears."I...You..." Suddenly the man froze. He made incomprehensible noises and his body bent slightly. William knew this was the perfect moment to attack, but he held back, for soon the man straightened his body and showed his old smile again.He rai
"Absolute Cut!" William shouted at the top of his voice, attacking the real body between the two copies with the strongest ability he had.The wind blade that came out of the tip of William's sword flew unblocked toward its original target, too fast for the two clones to react. The moment William's sword emerged, it struck the man's body. William knelt in weakness, but he still had one eye on the man. He wanted to see him die with his own eyes.When the ability hit the man, his body split into two, just as William expected, and the two clones vanished instantly. The sword in the hand of one of the copies fell to the ground as if it were a real object and not a spell."Hğğğğğ..." (Blood-filled guttural sound.) A growl came from the body of the man who had been cut in half.William barely raised his head and looked at the man's body in surprise.Two separate body parts were resisting falling to the ground. He was still standing. The six-centimeter gap between them was covered by an invi
