Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1076 Emerald Indic Ore

Chapter 1076 Emerald Indic Ore

Kayale Alstreim blinked in astonishment. Sophie Alstreim managed to gain Alchemist Davis's favor this soon? Her heart fell, but she quickly denied it as she regained her confidence back.
Whether Alchemist Davis would like her or not would completely depend upon the next few actions Sophie Alstreim took... how she entertained him!
Sophie Alstreim practically became energized with Davis's statement. She walked towards the center's empty space before turning around beautifully as her blonde hair waved as it followed.
"I wonder if Alchemist Davis has any requests? I'll say it beforehand that I can't dance as I haven't learned of it before, but if you want me to showcase my cultivation, alchemy, or weapon forging skills, I'll gladly comply!"
"Hehe... A brute..."
"She doesn't know how to dance or please but knows how to forge a weapon... How laughable..."
Various snickers emerged from the surroundings, but Sophie Alstreim seemed not to mind it. Even Kayale Alstreim smiled a bit as she discerned that Alchemist Davis wouldn't prefer a brute like her.
Davis became dumbfounded, but his eyes gleamed, "Weapon forging? You mean blacksmithing skills?"
"Yes, blacksmithing refers to a wide range of categories, and I specialize in weapon forging, also known as armament forging in front of King Grade Blacksmiths."
Davis was still a bit dumbfounded.
He had never seen a blacksmithing process at her level before but forget that! He found it surprising that this woman knew how to blacksmith! This came off as a shock to him as it seemed that she knew both alchemy and blacksmithing at her young age.
Sophie Alstreim possessed a similar age to Princess Isabella.
The others noticed something was wrong with the way Alchemist Davis reacted. He seemed to be interested instead!? Shouldn't it be the other way!?
But grasping that he had a poisonous woman beside him, they quickly felt that it was possible that Alchemist Davis might take a liking to this introverted weirdo who was extremely skilled in alchemy but also enjoyed blacksmithing despite being a woman.
"Alright, I'm rather interested in watching how a beauty would forge a weapon." Davis echoed as he laid back over the sofa.
'He really was interested!' The women present in the hall almost went crazy.
It wasn't that women don't take blacksmithing as their profession, but women were marginally on the lesser side of the blacksmith profession when considering the whole. After all, things were bound to somehow get difficult and even ugly for a woman in a profession that is dominated by men.
That's why most women would prefer to be a respected Alchemist rather than a sweating blacksmith who would earn lesser, and to mention, disrespected and used if their skills were just average.
Compared to the connections and defense female alchemists would enjoy, female blacksmiths were just vegetables waiting on the chopping board to be used in cooking if they did not have a suitable backing.
However, Sophie Alstreim knew alchemy and claims to know blacksmithing. They found it dubious if her blacksmithing skills would be up to par, or at least somewhere near her alchemical skills. But due to her low age, they felt that she was bound to not produce much of a result, perhaps even failing to produce anything in the end by overestimating her skills and ability to garner Alchemist Davis's favor.
Suddenly, they couldn't help but wait in excitement to see her make a fool out of herself!
"Yes!" Sophie Alstreim became excited that she was given permission.
She brought out something that instantly landed on the surface with a huge thud!
"Oh... Please don't mind me..." Sophie Alstreim chuckled as she sensed the dumbfounded gazes directed at her. From what she could tell, at least half in this place didn't know about a furnace, "It's a Low-Level King Grade Weapon Forging Furnace."
From what she could tell, at least half of the youngsters, especially the women in this place, had never probably seen a furnace before. It could be said that they never had the interest since weapons were readily available, overwhelming the market.
So unless they had a dream or conviction, it was less likely they would entertain the thought of involving themselves with blacksmithing. On the other hand, it looked like the men all knew how a furnace looked like and became rather excited or disdained and felt a bit complicated at the thought of witnessing her forging skills.
Indeed, since the Alstreim Family men in the Grand Alstreim City practiced Flame Laws, they more or less experienced a single try in blacksmithing with the instruction of their elders. At least, all men in this place were Low-Level Mortal Grade Blacksmiths.
Anything above that, it really depended on the person.
Of course, there would also be men who didn't practice blacksmithing in their early years, and they would be considered trash in the Alstreim Family.
'But if a woman of the Alstreim Family were to take up the blacksmithing profession, she would be considered a brute!' Sophie Alstreim smiled in derision before she took out a greenish fist-sized ore.
"This is-"
"Is that Emerald Indic!?" Davis became astonished.
Sophie Alstreim became taken aback as she got interrupted, her mouth slightly becoming agape, "Yes... This is an Emerald Indic Ore, and Emerald Indic is obtained when it is purified and refined by the flames..."
'Could it be...?' She gulped.
"You are also skilled in blacksmithing!?"
She suddenly found Alchemist Davis ten times more preferable!
"Uh... No... I haven't even tried my hand yet..." Davis regretfully shook his head.
"Oh... I see." Sophie Alstreim felt that Alchemist Davis was lying for some reason.
How could a person who was not involved in blacksmithing know about a King Grade Material used for blacksmithing!? She didn't know why Alchemist Davis lied but didn't bother to expose it either.
"The Emerald Indic is a Low-Level King Grade Ore... Are you sure that you can handle it?" Kayan Alstreim posed his doubt. His eyes narrowed into something that cast a mocking gaze at Sophie Alstreim.
"Whether I would be able to forge or not is something you would feast your eyes on soon enough..."
"Is that so...?" Kayan Alstreim coldly smiled, "Then what if you fail to forge? Do you think becoming a King Grade Blacksmith is easy to become? It took me a hundred years to reach that level from the time I started practicing blacksmithing, but you, on the other hand, are shamelessly bragging?"
"Will you apologize to everyone here if you fail?"
He felt personally offended.
A woman dares to indirectly claim that she's better than him in blacksmith!?
How audacious!
"Since Alchemist Davis doesn't know about blacksmithing, we all are witnesses and judges. Everyone should be able to differentiate between a Sky Grade Weapon and a King Grade Armament, so I request a fair judgment."
"I accept that if I fail, I'll apologize to everyone." Sophie Alstreim declared with a disdainful expression on her face.
"Alright, everyone has heard your words. I'm sure Alchemist Davis is agreeable with this arrangement as well?"
Davis simply nodded his head.
However, they all believed that Alchemist Davis was lying when he said that he didn't know blacksmithing.
Indeed, an average person wouldn't have recognized the ore, but Davis could only recognize the Emerald Indic because of the similarity it had with his Grieving Emerald Scythe, a Peak-Level Sky Grade Weapon.
He didn't expect her to take out an Emerald Indic Ore, and a fist-sized one at that!
He was looking forward to enhancing the Grieving Emerald Scythe to King Grade, and perhaps, he can ask her to improve it for him?
