"Is that so …" Garza looked to be in his forties. He had a bronze-colored face and dark skin. When he stood there, he was like a black iron tower, giving off a heavy sense of oppression. This was especially so for the sensitive Lin Li. This was because he could clearly feel an incomparably powerful Combat Energy slowly emanating from the middle-aged blacksmith's body. He stood there like an iron wall, making Lin Li feel suffocated. Lin Li knew that this was definitely a true high-ranking warrior. In terms of ability, he was probably only a hair's breadth away from Macklin …
The Breezy Plains was indeed far more exciting than Jarrosus …
"Looks like Mr. Kaman doesn't want to talk about it …" The middle-aged blacksmith held the rainbow adamantine scimitar in his hand. He casually twirled the scimitar in his hand before continuing, "But it doesn't matter, I'm not interested in the origin of this scimitar either. To be honest, if it weren't for Mr. Kaman thinking that I might have seen wrongly, I wouldn't have said anything. But now, it seems like I have no choice but to say a few words …"
"Master … Master Garza, I-I-I … I didn't mean it that way …" How could Kaman not understand? Garza was the most authoritative blacksmith in Doland — how could he allow others to doubt him? If he suspected that Garza had seen wrongly, wouldn't that mean that he was doubting his forging skills? Kaman really wanted to slap himself now. Of all the things he could have doubted, why did he have to doubt Garza's forging skills? Wasn't he pushing himself into a pit of fire?
Unfortunately, it was too late now …
"Now, let me tell you what a weapon made of rainbow adamantine should look like …" With that, Garza slowly pulled out a one-handed sword from his waist. From afar, it looked as if it had just been taken out of a pile of coal — rusty and dull. If not for the fact that the most authoritative Blacksmith in Doland had taken it out so solemnly, no one would have taken a second look at it even if it had been placed there.
Lin Li was probably the only one who knew that this one-handed sword was indeed forged with rainbow adamantine …
Among the rare magical metals, rainbow adamantine was the most unstable and easily affected by external forces. Weapons forged with rainbow adamantine might look dull at first, but once Mana and Combat Aura were infused, they would immediately emit a colorful radiance.
That's right, just like the one-handed sword in front of him …
"Weapons forged from rainbow adamantine have many magical attributes, and each magical attribute will change into a different color …" Garza held the one-handed sword in his hand and slowly channeled a trace of Combat Energy into it. In an instant, a colorful light appeared, and the scattered trading house was filled with the radiance of the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. For a moment, it was filled with a magnificent aura …
"What do you think, Kaman? I didn't wrong you, did I …" Lasorick said sinisterly.
"I …" Kaman's face was pale as he looked at the one-handed sword in Garza's hand, and then at the shiny machete …
The scimitar lay there quietly, reflecting a blurry halo under the midday sun. At a glance, the blade was crystal clear, without any impurities or blemishes. If it had been any other time, Kaman would have praised it in his heart. What a sharp scimitar …
But now, Cayman couldn't even cry.
Garza was the most authoritative blacksmith in Doland, and his words were practically the final word. Since even he said that weapons forged from rainbow adamantine should be dull, then there was a 99% chance that the machete he had just sold was a fake …
W-w-what … What should he do?
Selling a fake to Young Master Lasorick was going to be a huge problem!
Oh no, oh no …
At this point, Kaman really wanted to die. If he had known this would happen, he would not have accepted those pieces of magical equipment. Now, not only did he not earn much money, he almost lost his life. How could Young Master Lasorick be so easily fooled? If Castellan Andrew were to be provoked, the Rosen Union would be at an end. Oh yes, there's also Master Garza. F * ck, I've really been blinded by lard. How could I suspect Master Garza? I'm practically asking for death. If all the blacksmiths in Doland were to spit at me, I'm afraid I'll drown …
Just as Kaman was regretting his decision, Lin Li smiled and stepped out from the crowd. "Looks like this Master Garza is very familiar with rainbow adamantine …"
"What do you do?" Lasorick frowned as he stared at Lin Li with his beady eyes. Anyone familiar with him would have guessed that Lasorick was on the verge of exploding. This black-haired, black-eyed fella really did not know what was good for him. How dare he interrupt me when I'm looking for trouble? Does he really think I'm a pushover?
While the middle-aged blacksmith did not say anything, he frowned as well. It was obvious that the most authoritative blacksmith in Doland did not like being interrupted.
Kaman, however, could not hide the joy in his eyes.
Kaman knew very well that there was only one person who could save him, and that was the young mage who had forged the dagger …
"Me? I'm just here to watch the show … "Lin Li pursed his lips and brushed off Lasorick irresponsibly before turning to look at the most authoritative blacksmith in Doland." Oh, yes, Master Garza. Since you're so familiar with rainbow adamantine, I wonder if I could ask you a small question? "
"What is it?" Garza frowned. There was a faint hint of anger on his tanned face. He had been speaking with assurance and composure, but was suddenly interrupted by an unfamiliar young man. Even if it was someone with a good temper, they would not be able to avoid feeling a little displeased, let alone someone with status like Garza.
"It's like this, Master Garza …" Lin Li did not seem to notice at all as he smiled humbly. "As you can see, I'm a lousy little mage, but coincidentally, I know a little about forging. I remember someone saying that weapons forged with rainbow adamantine are not necessarily black and dirty, I wonder if that's true …"
"Nonsense!" Garza's face darkened. When he looked at Lin Li again, his eyes were filled with unconcealable anger. Garza had forged metal for decades, from a small blacksmith to a Master Blacksmith, and had touched hundreds of rare magical metals. He had forged at least 10 rainbow adamantine weapons, and he knew what a weapon forged with rainbow adamantine would look like even with his eyes closed.
In the whole of Doland, if Garza claimed to be the second best at forging, no one would dare to claim to be the best, including the Dwarves from the Dwarf Kingdom, who claimed to be born Masters of Forging. Garza had always been a man of his words, and no blacksmith had ever dared to question his foresight and skills.
But today, for some reason, Kaman had questioned his foresight, and now it was even more ridiculous. A young lad who had popped out of nowhere had dared to question his forging skills, and even said that weapons forged with rainbow adamantine were not necessarily dull. Damn it, if they were not dull, could they be as shiny as this broken machete? What a joke …
"Lad, are you trying to cause trouble?" Lasorick, who was standing at the side, pushed Lin Li away without another word. "Scram, why don't you f * cking look at yourself in the mirror and see who you are? Master Garza may not stoop to your level, but I will not go easy on you. Don't think you're very powerful just because you're a mage, I'm going to kill you. It'll be as easy as killing an ant! "
Then, Lasorick suddenly felt his vision blur.
"Watch your hand!" Norfeller, who was wrapped in the black cloak, was like a ghost as he silently shielded Lin Li behind him. His face was pale, and his eyes were blood-red. Even under the noon sun, the aura that this high-ranking Vampire exuded was as cold as winter.
"You …" Even Lasorick, who was used to being arrogant, could not help but shiver when he stood in front of Norfeller. It was an instinctive fear, like that of a beast meeting its natural enemy.
"Norfeller, don't do that, you'll scare him …" Lin Li said with a smile as he gestured for Norfeller to step aside. He then turned to Lasorick with a smile. "I'm sorry, my follower is a little short-tempered. If he offended you, I apologize on his behalf …"
"Hmph!" Lasorick glared at Norfeller. He wanted to say something harsh, but for some reason, when he saw those lifeless red eyes, he could not bring himself to say anything. He could only swallow his saliva with much difficulty …
"But there's one thing that my follower is right about. Young Master Lasorick, you better watch your hands, or else I can't guarantee that they'll still be intact …" Lin Li was still smiling, as if he was talking about the weather and not threatening to chop someone's hands off.
"What did you say!?" Lasorick almost jumped up when he heard that. He had thought that he was the most arrogant person in Doland City, and had not expected this black-haired, black-eyed young mage to be a hundred times more arrogant than him. He had threatened to chop off his hands the moment he opened his mouth. Damn it, who did he think he was?
Lasorick was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that in his 20 years in Doland. Not to mention a mere mage, even the Archmages from Alanna were polite to him because of his father, Andrew. If he did not teach this young mage a lesson today, how would he be able to live in Doland in the future?
"Damn it, I want to see how you can guarantee that!" As Lasorick spoke, he had already picked up the machete that was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. With a roar, a sky blue Combat Energy surged, and the gleam of the blade swept across …
Then, there was a crisp "dang" sound!
"Young man, it's not good for you to be too hot-tempered …" It was only after Garza said that the shocked crowd finally realized that Lasorick's attack did not land. Garza had easily blocked it with his single-handed sword.
However, Garza's words were not directed at Lasorick. At this moment, the middle-aged blacksmith's eyes were fixed on Norfeller under the black cloak. There was a hint of threat and wariness in his eyes.
"…" Norfeller stood there like a marble statue, as if he had not heard the words of the middle-aged blacksmith. At this time, perhaps only a few people who were sensitive to magical energy would be able to discover that although Norfeller did not move, there was a surging magical wave being emitted from his body unabashedly …
Without a doubt, that was the reason why Garza had blocked Lasorick's machete. Unfortunately, Lasorick did not know that. After being blocked by Garza, he continued to attack. "Master Garza, you don't have to plead for this fella. He's too arrogant. How dare he threaten me in Doland? I'm going to teach him a lesson today …"
"Forget it, Young Master Lasorick …" Garza shook his head helplessly. To be honest, if not for his relationship with Andrew, he would have left Lasorick there to see if he could really show others what he was made of. That fool was really stupid. That fellow in the black cloak was so fast that he was like a specter, shielding the young mage behind him in an instant. If they were to really fight, that fool's head would be gone in an instant. Show others what you're made of, it's more appropriate to show others what you're made of …
Unfortunately, some words could not be said because of Andrew. Hence, Garza could only shake his head and persuade him patiently. "Alright, Young Master Lasorick, you've already taught Kaman a lesson. Let's go back and talk, alright?"
"No, Master Garza, you must help me teach this fella a lesson today. He's too arrogant, how dare he threaten me!" Lasorick insisted.
"…"
