Abel already had the Master Alchemy pattern. He just needed to learn metallurgy, and he could immediately create materials only Master Alchemists could make.
The flying boat was every dwarf's dream. It's significance and usefulness reached beyond the Holy Continent. The dwarfs had spent countless efforts, but they just couldn't cultivate a master alchemist.
Every single master alchemist that appeared in the Holy Continent specialized in potion-making, and they would dedicate all their time and effort to it. Therefore, they wouldn't even think about doing metallurgy.
This was what always kept the dwarfs' flying dream a dream, but now Abel, a friend of the dwarfs, had successfully become a master alchemist. Although he too specialized in potions, he could easily become a metallurgist.
It was a chance for the dwarfs, a chance they waited for countless years.
