“Orichalcum? Orichalcum?” Aron’s eyes twitched in horror. Wasn’t this the worst thing that could have shown up at this moment? Why was it this damn Orichalcum?
As a store manager, Aron was naturally aware of what was going on outside in the world at the moment, even if he did not step out of the store.
So he knew that the one thing that was available in excess right now was this damned Orichalcum!
What was this insane luck? Why was this system always bending over backward to help this particular human being? This was so unfair! He should have simply been killed by the damn isons!
Seeing the fairy turn various shades of red, Liam laughed lightly. “You seem to be thinking about something serious, so I won’t disturb you. I will be leaving now. Ha Ha Ha.”
“See you later! Ha Ha Ha. But don’t worry. I will come here often. You, Mr. Aron, are definitely my lucky charm!”
Liam’s voice rang loudly as he laughed and walked out of the shop. He was distinctly aware that the fairy was staring daggers at him just like the other one, but he did not care.
He knew very well that these fairies were bloodthirsty hounds, unlike their dainty appearances. They wanted human beings to suffer and lose to the apocalypse and die a miserable death.
So he did not bother himself with how the fairy was reacting to his unexpected pot of luck.
Liam continued to walk out of the shop, ignoring the raging fairy. Mirroring his emotions, the white fox also jumped out of Liam’s back and walked out of the shop, swishing her butt and her three tails in a mocking manner.
The two of them then left the area in a hurry. “Luna, fast. I want to try this out immediately.” Liam’s hands were terribly itching to start working on the golems as fast as he could.
Back in the game, they had a pair of golems that were immensely helpful to the guild. However, he was not able to bring them outside. That was now going to be finally corrected!
With these golems stationed in their bases, the guild members would have some much deserved freedom to train as they please without having to constantly worry about protecting others.
And with the way things were progressing, his army of soul minions was also not enough to take care of some tasks. More minions were always a welcome addition to delegate the workload.
And lastly, it has been a while since he forged anything, and as a blacksmith, he found himself really looking forward to this challenge.
“Golem Creation skill…” Liam closed his eyes as he went over the details of the recipe that were now imprinted in his mind.
Unlike the skill book, he didn’t feel anything in his soul when he learned the recipe book. While learning a skill basically imparted all the knowledge that was required to use the skill and even master the skill to a certain extent, it seemed that learning a recipe was a different process.
In this case, Liam only knew the process and the various ratios and proportions but completely lacked the ability to tell whether the forging process would be successful or not on completion and what he could do to make it successful.
This was something he needed to practice and execute for himself. Only then he would be able to understand it fully.
However, even if the system did not provide the help to one hundred percent master the crafting process and the recipe just from the recipe book, it did not mean that he was lagging behind.
This was, in fact, the other reason Liam was excited.
Crafting a golem might be complicated to others, but as a grandmaster blacksmith who had forged several epic-grade items, this was nothing but child’s play to him.
All he needed was Orichalcum!
He grinned and patted the fox as the two of them landed next to the hive hill. The duo gazed at the mountain of Orichalcum metal in front of them with stars in their eyes.
“Shall we get started?” Liam winked, and Luna snickered happily.
The little white fox was very simple. She did not need any specific reason to be happy. If Liam was happy, she was happy. If Liam was sad, she was sad.
On Liam’s say-so, she trotted forward and walked over to the piles of Orichalcum metal that the soul minions had managed to harvest so far. Liam then quickly tossed away everything into his spatial artifact.
Just as the Crimson Abyss guild members sitting in the vicinity were wondering what was going on, the duo once again disappeared silently from the area.
Liam had already communicated with the soul minions to see if anyone had come across any industrial forges in the district, and there were about four of them.
So the duo headed directly to the one that was currently the closest to them.
It was a huge factory that seemed to manufacture nuts and bolts and other miscellaneous small metal items.
Liam walked around the factory first to get an overall look at the various facilities and equipment available. But unfortunately, most of it was not really helpful to him.
The only thing that he could even remotely use was a huge sturdy metallic surface. He decided to substitute this for an anvil and then retrieved a combat hammer to start the forging process.
As for melting the metal and separating out pure orichalcum from the broken slabs of the hive hill, there was always his trusty flame thrower.
“Luna, melt this pile for me.” Liam guided the little fox slowly as the two of them together started isolating pure orichalcum bit by bit.
Liam monitored the purity of the molten metal while the fox continued breathing fire steadily. The entire process took about an hour when a small pool of molten Orichalcum had formed on the ground.ƒre??????νℯ? ??m
