"Master Abel, don't worry. Let's find a place to have a chat after the gathering!" Master Hoover calmed himself down. A peerless genius, a peerless genius of the human race, was born in the duchy of Carmel. This was something he should be happy about. It was an honor for him to be able to teach a genius like this a little.
When Abel heard Master Hoover's words, he stood up seriously and bowed respectfully. Although he did not say that he regarded Master Hoover as his teacher, this was definitely an action to express his attitude in public.
Master Hoover hurriedly stepped forward to help Abel up. Such a humble and sincere person moved all the blacksmiths present. Although they didn't know about the saying "a gentleman is like a jade", they could feel Abel's generosity at this moment.
"Master Hoover, I've just forged this Knight's big sword. If you don't mind, please accept it!" Abel said as he straightened up.
Abel was very particular about the timing of giving this Knight's big sword to Master Hoover. He gave it to Master Hoover because Master Hoover agreed to answer his questions. However, no one present was a fool. If Abel had given this Knight's big sword to Master Hoover at the beginning, would Master Hoover refuse to answer his questions?
This sequence of events turned the original deal into a gift like a thank-you gift. In a sense, Master Hoover's status was very high.
The atmosphere in the hall became very peaceful following Abel's actions. The Knight's big sword in Master Hoover's hand was consciously passed around by the other masters. It seemed that the masters not only saw Abel's forging skills, but also the quality that Abel had integrated into the sword.
"Masters, we've added another procedure. Master Robin and Master Thorin will propose to appraise Master Abel's Blackfire Magic Staff!" Master Mori said as he began to host the meeting again.
Master Mori felt very helpless. He originally thought that Abel would take out the Blackfire Magic Staff when he asked the masters to appraise their recent works. It wasn't easy to forge a satisfactory piece of equipment. It required a lot of time and effort. However, Abel took out a Knight's big sword instead.
He could only ask Abel to take out the Blackfire Magic Staff for everyone to appraise. Abel was startled. He looked at Master Robin and Master Thorin. The two dwarven masters nodded at him with a smile, as if something good had happened.
These two dwarven masters had a very close relationship with him, so they wouldn't harm him. Thinking of this, he turned around and nodded to Bartoli who was standing on the side. Bartoli stepped forward and handed the Blackfire Magic Staff to him, then bowed and stepped back.
"Masters, this is the Blackfire Magic Staff I've just made!" Abel said as he placed the Blackfire Magic Staff on the table.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little strange. Master Robin said, "I'm close to Master Abel's teacher, Bentham, so I'm withdrawing from this appraisal!"
Master Thorin also stood up and said, "I'm also close to Master Abel's teacher, Bentham. We're good friends when we studied together, so I'm withdrawing from this appraisal as well!"
Master Hoover hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile, "Masters, you should know about my relationship with Master Abel. We're both from the Duchy of Carmel, so I'm withdrawing from this appraisal as well!"
Master Mori stood up and said in a serious tone, "Masters, 3 masters have already withdrawn from this appraisal. We only need 7 masters for this appraisal. The other masters who weren't selected can ask Master Abel again after the appraisal!"
"Masters, if there's anyone else who would like to withdraw, please tell us. If not, we'll start drawing lots to decide who will be selected!" Master Mori said after looking around at the masters and looking at Abel, who had no idea what was going on.
None of the remaining masters were willing to withdraw, so Master Mori took out a box with a hole the size of a hand that he had prepared beforehand and placed it on the table. "Whoever draws the red lot will be the connoisseur. The rest will withdraw!"
One after another, the Master Blacksmiths walked up to the box and took out a bamboo stick. Those who drew a red lot were very excited, while those who drew a red lot were very upset.
Soon, 7 masters were selected. They all surrounded the Blackfire Magic Staff and began to admire it.
"This magic staff is made with our dwarven technology. It uses an intermediate rank soul as the raw material. Most importantly, this magic staff has been improved by our dwarven technology. It has increased the power of the magic staff by many times!" A dwarven Master Blacksmith exclaimed.
"I don't agree with you. Although this magic staff is made with the dwarves' magic staff technology, it can't be considered an improvement. I think it's more accurate to say that Master Abel created the technology of attaching magic gems to the soul magic staff, and this technology should belong to the humans!" Another human master blacksmith refuted.
"It doesn't matter if it's a creation or an improvement, it's still a leap forward in magic staff manufacturing. I don't know how long Master Abel had experimented with this technology, but this success of creating a new path has pointed the way for future magic staff manufacturing." A dwarven blacksmith master said as he stopped the first dwarven master from continuing to argue.
"Then does everyone have a consensus on innovation?" Master Mori lowered his voice.
"Yes, Master Mori. I agree that Master Abel has surpassed his predecessors in innovation!" The dwarven Master Blacksmith nodded.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
The other 6 Master Blacksmiths all nodded in agreement.
"Then does Master Abel's blacksmithing ability have all of you agreed?" Master Mori's voice was a little excited. It seemed like he was trying to suppress his excitement.
"Of course, Master Abel is one of the greatest blacksmiths in the world. That's my opinion!"
"Master Abel has shown unparalleled creativity and control of materials. I admire him so much. Perhaps I will never reach his level in my life, but he has given me the direction to work towards!"
"Master Abel's ability is unquestionable!"
"I have been watching Master Abel's work with a sincere attitude. It is my honor!"
"I was one of Master Abel's examinees, and now I'm standing here. I will forever be proud of these two things!"
"If this Blackfire Magic Staff can be enchanted with a stronger spell, it will become a legendary equipment straight away. After all, its creator is a legendary!"
"I seriously doubt Master Abel has a stronger magic staff because he gave it to someone else. However, this magic staff alone has completely won me over!"
Abel felt a little embarrassed being praised by the 7 Master Blacksmiths. He didn't understand why they had to choose 7 Master Blacksmiths to do this ceremony, but after all 7 Master Blacksmiths praised him, he saw Master Robin, Master Thorin, and Master Hoover were all looking at him with excitement.
"In the Blacksmith's Guild Headquarter in Kitchener City, I, Mori, have presided over the evaluation of Master Abel's Blackfire Magic Staff. The 7 Master Blacksmiths have all agreed on his creativity and ability. According to the rules of the Blacksmith's Guild, Master Abel has met all the requirements. On behalf of the Blacksmith's Guild, I announce …"
At this point, Master Mori paused. All the blacksmiths present stood up. They were about to witness the arrival of an important moment.
"Abel Harry has become the 4th Grandmaster Blacksmith of the Blacksmith's Guild in the Holy Continent!" Master Mori's voice was loud and powerful. It seemed like it could pierce through the hall and the Blacksmith's Guild Castle to announce this important news to the world.
