Capítulo 87: First Job Ex
Aside from the ore, I needed for the quest, another familiar and precious ore is added in here.
[Adamantite]
A precious ore that is said to be so rare that many people thought it was just a legend until one is found. Armors, weapons, tools, and other metal works made from this material are well sought and will fetch an extremely high price. A failure work of metallurgy from a piece of ore of this will result in a Legendary Grade.
Although the Adamantite is a mythical metal alongside the Orichalcum and Mythril and does not exist in the real world, in Alternate World, these metals exist and they are one of the most sought materials by players due to how rare, valuable and expensive it was. Just from its description, a failed material can be sold to millions of gold and its grade will literally be Legendary Grade or higher depending on how less the failure of the item is.
Although I got the item I needed, Ingot of the Stars, the Adamantite is one of the best items I held in my entire life including my past timeline. I only heard this item and thought it was just an urban legend. Who would have thought I would be getting one of the ores?
The others are also good items but they are not as valuable as the Adamantite and I can only tell that they are rare items but they can be easily obtained in higher levels so it didn't spark much attention on me.
After checking out the contents of the bag and confirming the quest on Lina is completed, I helped Lina and her mother to fix the door of the inn before heading to Almira's Blacksmith shop. Aside from the materials, I also managed to improve my relationship with Lina and her mother. Lina's favorability with me also drastically rose which is quite good considering that raising relationship points to NPCs is hard.
When I arrived in front of her shop, I noticed the signboard on her shop is displayed "close" but due to my high relationship points with Almira, entering it despite being close is still a plausible thing to do. Entering the shop, Almira is currently resting and reading a book about advanced metallurgy techniques. Even when taking a break, she only thinks about smithing.
"Oh? I heard you already solved the matter of yours..." Almira said without raising her head.
"Yeah, your tip was helpful, and thanks for providing the info."
"Yeah, yeah, I don't really care. However, I am confused as to why you are here, you can clearly see the sign above the doorway that my shop is closed right? Why are you still here? You know that I don't sell as long as I am close."
"Well, I am not here to buy but to give an item for you to appraise since I got it accidentally," I said and pulled from my inventory the Ingot of the Stars.
Almira who was just as chill as ice earlier pukes out the tea on her mouth and stood up in shock.
"Ingot of the Stars! You obtained a valuable item from that troublesome monster in the lake?!" Almira's eyes are glowing as she grabs the Ingot of the Stars on the table.
"I was just as surprised as you, you know? It looks like a metal ore but this is the first time of me to see a twinkling ore, so my first decision is to get it appraised to someone who knows their stuff."
"Hehehe, kid, you have gone and asked the right person. In fact, I will make this worthwhile for you. I can purchase this metal and take it off your hands if you wanted to."
"Well, if you want to get this item, then I don't want money but I want you to teach me blacksmithing. I want to learn how to make weapons on my own!"
Almira was surprised by my demand but she calmed down immediately and started to discuss the reward.
"Blacksmithing eh? Are you sure you wanted to? Becoming a blacksmith is tedious and very hard work. I can teach you how to do blacksmithing but you need to persevere because I am a strict teacher, is that possible for you to endure?" Almira grinned.
"I have plenty of strict teachers in my life so adding another one is not a problem at all."
"If you are really determined, then I will make sure you will learn great things from me."
Then, the interface popped up in front of my face.
[Almira is offering herself to be your Blacksmith Mentor. Accepting her offer will allow the player to unlock the Ex Job: Blacksmith. Your blacksmith experience gained from doing Blacksmith work will also be doubled due to the mentorship you have with Almira. Accept her offer?]
[Yes/No]
Why would I say no? I immediately clicked yes.
"And with that, you are now my apprentice. Come here every day and I will test your aptitude tomorrow in blacksmithing so that I can easily teach you things you have yet to know."
"I understand."
"Oh and don't forget these things. They will be your starting tools kid, and I challenge you to create these normal blacksmith tools into advanced versions. Of course, you need to do this after you are assessed by your abilities but hey, you can start already. You can read this book if you want to learn the basics thoroughly."
She passed down a small bag and book to me and the items I received popped up in my interface.
-[Blacksmith's Hammer] obtained.
-[Tongs] obtained.
-[Starter Molds] obtained.
-[Blacksmithing Beginner's Guide Book] obtained.
"I won't be giving every tool needed. If you wanted to get more tools, feel free to buy in other stores or in my store. It doesn't matter to me. What matters is the work of the person, not the materials and tools used, as long as it can make the things done without much problem then its fine. Anyways, you can go back to where you wanted to go, I won't be teaching today because I am exhausted, come back in here tomorrow alright?"
"Thank you very much!"
I left Almira to rest after that and looked at the new message that popped up in my interface.
[Congratulations, your Ex Job: Blacksmith is now activated. You can now create metal works and other things involving blacksmithing. Making things related to blacksmithing will raise your level of expertise in this job. The higher your level is, the more things you can make. Creating your own customized equipment is now in your hands! Create and build wonderful things!]
Finally, it is time to create weapons to feed to my Versatile Weapon. And once I reached my old level before in the alternate timeline, I will try to create my own armor made from the Adamantite. I can't wait for that day to come.
