Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 413 Forgetting Ryu

Chapter 413 Forgetting Ryu

Nial was given the opportunity to choose any weapon, accessories, or armor to engrave his runic constellations on. This was a great opportunity, especially since the runic solutions and armaments had been created out of expensive ingredients.
However, instead of feeling satisfied, Nial turned toward the Runicier, who brought him to the warehouse with a faint smile on his face.
"Can I just take a few runic solutions and meet up with a blacksmith?" He asked, trying not to sound rude. It was possible to engrave runic constellations on armaments that had been forged for quite a while but the efficiency of runic constellations would decrease drastically if they were not properly connected to the veins of the armament's metal and other ingredients.
"You can spend ten minutes here to figure out what type of runic armaments you want to create, and those which you want to engrave. After ten minutes you will have to leave with the runic solutions which you will require for later, as well as the type of armament you want to create for your test. It will be replicated for you using the same materials as the already finished product," The Runicier said calmly as if he had expected Nial to ask this question.
"Looks like I passed the first test," Nial mumbled quietly to himself and the Keril Runicier smiled lightly in response. He could tell that Nial was not completely inexperienced as a Runicier, and that made him more suspicious of the fact that the young human might actually be a Master Runicier disguised as a rookie.
'He is so young…but what if he is a prodigy? Even if that's the case, there shouldn't be many prodigies like him who are capable of achieving the same feat as he did…if he really created the runic armaments from before that is…' He thought, recalling the complexity of the runic constellations that had been engraved on the runic armaments Nial had shown before.
"I'm done," Nial said, holding a rather simple spear with a long shaft and broad blade, followed by a wide variety of runic solutions.
"You want to create three different types of Lecasmir Spears? Are you sure?" The Runicier asked, feeling unsure if Nial knew about the special trait of the Lecasmir metal.
However, Nial nodded his head, which was enough for the Runicier to lead him to the next place.
They walked through the building that connected the three associations of the Runiciers, Blacksmiths, and Alchemists.
In the next five minutes, they reached a large hall, where many blacksmiths were busy at work. The Runicier, who had led him to this place, called out a name and a bulky man of a race Nial had yet to meet, approached them.
"You called for me, Levandor?" The bulky man with four arms asked before his gaze moved over to Nial, who was still holding everything he needed.
"Don't tell me that you want me to forge a Lecasmir Spear for this human's Runicier test?" He squinted his eyes for a moment but Levandor, the Runicier, nodded his head.
"That's exactly what I want. A total of three newly forged Lecasmir Spears for his test as a Master Runicier, Beran!" Levandor declared, just to hear Beran scoffing.
"You have to be insane. Why should I bother forging Lecasmir Spears just for the Master Runi….wait a moment….he is willing to take the Master Runicier test?!?" Beran was certain that his ears were ringing, but Levandor could only smile oddly.
"You heard correctly. He wants to take the Runicier test to become a certified Master," Levandor answered with a trace of suspicion in his mind.
"Well…in that case I can be bothered to forge the Lecasmir Spears…" Beran mumbled before he turned in Nial's direction.
"If you're not confident of passing the test, don't bother to apply for it. Forging the Lecasmir Spear is dangerous and engraving runic constellations on it is even more so!" He warned, trying to convince Nial that he should just give up as he added, "Don't even think about blaming someone else if something were to happen to you!"
"I've never heard about Lecasmir, but I still want to have three spears made of that metal, thanks," Nial bowed slightly toward Beran as he restated his wish.
This caused the tall man's lips to start twitching but he only sighed in the end and nodded his head.
"Whatever you want, just follow me then…" Beran answered before he turned around and left. Nial followed Beran quickly, just to realize something.
"By the way…where did Ryu go? The wingless Gryphon, who had been by my side at the reception?" Nial asked, turning to Levandor in confusion.
He noticed only now that Ryu was away but according to the link he shared with the wingless Gryphon, he was not far away from them.
"Pets, mounts, or whatever you want to call a tamed monster are not allowed in any of the three associations, so we threw him out. You were not particularly bothered about him when it happened, weren't you?" Levandor looked at Nial weirdly.
The human looked a little bit dense and clumsy. How was it not possible for him to hear the annoying screams of his own partner when it was dragged out?
"Ryu is not tamed, but whatever… Just so you know, he is on top of the association's building right now, trying to find a way inside without destroying anything," Nial answered calmly while trying to recall when exactly Ryu had been dragged away.
He didn't realize that at all and ended up following Beran, his head filled with confusion.
"It will take around five yours to finish the first Lecasmir Spear, so you can sort your thoughts, think about what runic constellations you want to engrave on it, and most importantly, get information about Lecasmir metal and what to pay attention to when engraving runic constellations on it!" Beran declared after he retrieved a book from his spatial ring.
He threw it toward Nial, who evaded it by using his mana to stop the book from breaking the vials of a bunch of runic solutions.
Nial put the runic solutions down on the table that had been prepared for him, he picked up the book and used his Mana Sense to imprint every single page in his mind.
Afterward, he started to read the pages that manifested in his mind one after another to gain more in-depth knowledge about Lecasmir.
"Looks like I should learn a lot more about metals and other ingredients to create runic armaments…" Nial muttered, earning a small smile from Beran, who thought that the young human finally learned his lesson. Yet, it was just a sentence later that Beran's smile froze in place.
"This is so interesting, and the perfectly purified Lecasmir is perfectly suited for what I want to do!" Nial exclaimed just to start talking to Beran excitedly.
"I don't care how much you would usually purify Lecasmir for the Master Runicier test, but please do a full purification procedure while forging the Lecasmir Spears!" He requested, nearly causing Beran to break the Lecasmir ore he was about to put in the forge to reduce it to the metal.
Beran gawked at Nial, just to see the stubborn expression of the young man. There was no need to look for a trace of determination in his eyes to know that Nial was truly not bothered by taking the Master Runicier test. Instead, his entire focus was on getting to test out a few things.
"You really are a Master Runicier at your age, aren't you?" Beran asked quite calmly instead of feeling angry that Nial made his job more difficult than it already was.
"I don't really care about that. I just want to see the Guild missions for C-rank Adventurers and missions about runic armaments. That'll make things much easier…and this is so interesting!" Nial had almost forgotten that he was here because he wanted to become a certified Master Runicier to advance his Adventurer rank to 'C' and not to have fun getting to know new types of metals and ingredients that could be very well used for various things.
Beran looked at him but he didn't say anything else regarding that topic.
"I will create a perfectly purified Lecasmir Spear, but expect it to take one or two hours longer," He just said before he started to work while Nial thanked him twice.
'If he fails, I will break his legs!' Beran told himself while feeling that this wouldn't be necessary.
At least that was what his gut feeling told him.
As for Levandor, he was currently trying to figure out how to take care of Ryu.
"This fucking wingless bird got inside!!"
