I know what to do!

After the unexpected debacle, Liam completely shut himself inside the forging room. He had a total of five orbs of Earth, three orbs of Fire, three orbs of Water, and one orb of Air. 

He also had enough gold coins to buy any recipe and raw materials he pleased and the status of a Forging Grandmaster, along with an Honored reputation.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he could pretty much do anything in the elven lands at the moment. Channeling all of his frustrations, he blew all the gold he had earned and purchased two more recipes that were available.

These were available on the second floor, which he did not have permission to access before. However, now he had the permission and the means to make the purchase.

All the elves who had looked at him in disdain before when he was spending the gold coins fluidly now looked at him with awe and respect.
