Manarion opened the door and beckoned them to follow him inside the smithy.
Hans and the others followed him inside, the inside of the smithy is dark and quite hot. The only source of light inside is just some candle and fire from the furnace at the end of the room there is a short figure who striking metal down with a hammer.
"Khughumir, I bring some guest here and the one I told you about is among them too." Manarion cheerfully said, he obviously has friendly relation with Khughumir.
"Hahaha...Welcome to my humble abode."
The figure at the end of the room stopped hammering after hearing Manarion's voice and walked toward them to reveal the figure's identity, with a white beard on his face and short body Hans instantly figure out that it was the Dwarf named Khughumir.
The Dwarf wears clothes made of leather and an apron for smithing, he still holding hammer that he uses for hammering metal just now. The hammer is too big for any ordinary human to hold but Khughumir is able to hold it with one hand and even use it for smithing showing the power a dwarf.
"Follow me, everyone, I'll let all of you drink some of my precious Dwarf drink." Khughumir walks toward a cabinet and opened it to reveal a lot of small barrel inside it, he took some of the barrels with him.
"Ha, you are surprisingly generous this time since you bring out your prized "Red Blood" how about I take some home?" Manarion said.
"The only thing that you will take is a swing of my hammer." He waved his hammer toward him, he looks like a lioness who protecting lion cub.
Manarion grumbled something but no one was able to hear it, the dwarf put the barrel on a table and told them to take a seat.

'This guy is strong! If these two want to usurp Prince Lotis from his throne then there is no way for the prince to fight back.'
"Here take a sip it is a rare event for me to be this generous so cherish this moment." The dwarf takes some wooden cup from a cabinet near the table and poured the liquid out of the barrel to a wooden cup that he placed the table.
"Thank you." Manarion is the first to grab the cup and quickly drink all of the liquor in one gulp, he looks at the other barrel and said, "Pour more."
"Fine..."
Hans takes a sip from the cup and feels a warmth spread through his body, the liquors seem to not make anyone who drinks it become drunk. Seeing that Hans started drinking the other followed him and drink from their cup too.
"Is your mother even allowed you to drink liquor?" Ryouma suddenly chimed while looking at Hans.
"I am 16 years old remember at my age anyone can start to drink liquor you know, this liquor won't make anyone drunk no need to worry about it." Hans said, he looks at the dwarf and said, "Thanks for the drink but I heard that you want to meet me."
"Oh, so you are the one that can control undead wait here I need to take my latest creation." Khughumir walks toward an iron door with a lock protecting it, he takes a key to open the lock and get inside the room behind the door.
Before long he walked out of the room bringing along an item on his hand, the thing in his hand seems to be a necklace made of bone. It constantly let out ghastly aura which makes it have an eerie feeling for anyone who sees it.
"This is the creation that I made from the bone of Lord Tier Undead and their fragment of Soul Orb which your people fight a week ago, you can have this armament since the material is from you anyway." He handed the necklace to Hans.
"Thank you." Hans thanked the dwarf.
[Armament Name]: Guardian's Bone Necklace
[Armament Tier]: Tier 4
[Armament Grade]: Purple
[Armament Skill]: [Bone Strengthening Level 2]
[Armament Effect]: +5% Mental Power
Hans examined the necklace to find a new kind of information window popping out suddenly.
"This armament is at Tier 4 and has its grade is Purple, if I more skilled it would be Tier 5 instead of Tier 4, after all, it a made of Lord Tier monster material." Khughumir sighed.
Hans excited seeing the necklace that he unconsciously said, "It's good stuff there is even [Bone Strengthening Level 2] skill on it."
"Huh? how did you know it? Wait are you an must have the talent of an [Appraisal Master] the one that can see the information of anything they see right?" Khughumir eyes glowed brightly seeing Hans as if he sees a treasure trove.
"I guess I have the talent, I don't even know much about it." Making the best poker face he could, Hans goes with the flow and assumed himself to be someone with [Appraisal Master], it can even become a shield to protect the existence of his system.
"You never told me you have this kind of ability." Ryouma said.
Hans only smiled and laughed a little hearing his word, he said. "I don't know much about it, I only realize that I can get some information from any object that I see."
"Someone with talent of [Appraisal Master] is even rarer than the one with [Blacksmith] and [Alchemist] talent, people said that it was rare as a phoenix feather back in my homeworld." Manarion explained without anyone seeing he had finished 4 barrel of "Red Blood" by himself, his face is reddened from too much drinking.
"Don't drink everything you bastard!" Bellowed Khughumir clearly pissed off, he rushed toward him and it ended up becoming brawl which the other tried to separate them off.
Sorry about it but there is only one chapter a day now as I am too busy to write.
