To be honest, even Garza himself was shocked by this pale-faced young man. That unbridled mana wave was too frightening, and if he was not wrong, this person should be above level-17. Even he might not be able to defeat him for sure, not to mention that he had a ghost-like speed. This also meant that this person was very likely to have a high level of attainment in martial arts …
Without a doubt, it was not wise to get into a conflict with such a person.
"But, Master Garza …"
Lasorick had wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Garza. "Alright, Lasorick, let's call it a day. I'm a little tired, I'd like to go back and rest. You can discuss with Boss Kaman how to settle this …"
"Alright …" Lasorick hesitated for a long time before agreeing reluctantly. He had no choice, he had to listen to Garza. Even his father, the Castellan of Doland, had to be polite to Garza. This President of Doland's Blacksmith Guild was not just a blacksmith, he had an unimaginably powerful background …
Things were much simpler now that Lasorick had agreed. Kaman, who had wanted to keep the peace, bought the machete back at double the price without hesitation.
After sending Lasorick and Garza off respectfully, Kaman was like a deflated balloon. He sat in the smashed shop for half an hour before recovering his senses. "I'm really sorry, Mage Felic, I've made a fool of myself …"
"Hehe, it's just a small matter. Come to think of it, I was the one who caused trouble for Boss Kaman …"
Kaman pretended to be polite and brushed the matter aside as if nothing had happened. As for the shining scimitar, he threw it into the messy trading house and didn't look at it again. It was as if it wasn't a scimitar but a mass of air.
To Kaman, this was undoubtedly the wisest way to settle the matter. Since Master Garza had said that the machete was not made of rainbow adamantine, there had to be a problem …
But even if there was a problem, Kaman did not dare to say anything. Not to mention that he did not have any evidence, what could he do even if he did? Was he going to question Mage Felic with the machete? Hey, why did you sell me a fake?
What a joke, did he have a death wish?
Thus, Kaman thought he was wise to keep quiet …
Unfortunately, Kaman did not know that Lin Li found his actions amusing. Lin Li knew exactly what Kaman was thinking, but he did not want to explain it …
In fact, Lin Li was probably the only one who knew that the machete was indeed made of rainbow adamantine. The only mistake was that the forging technique used was too advanced, so much so that even Garza, who was known as a Smithing Master, saw it as a fake.
Indeed, weapons made of rainbow adamantine would look dull, but there were exceptions to everything, and rainbow adamantine was the same. Among the Guru-level forging techniques, there was one that specifically targeted rainbow adamantine.
Everyone knew that most weapons only needed to be quenched once, and many magical weapons only had a more complicated quenching process. Rainbow adamantine, on the other hand, required at least two to seven quenching, because each quenching would add a new attribute to the magical weapon. This was where a blacksmith's skills were best reflected. The number of quenches determined the level of the blacksmith's skills, and also the quality of the magical weapon made of rainbow adamantine. The more times it was quenched, the more magical attributes there would be. A blacksmith who could do it seven times was undoubtedly a true Master!
However, Lin Li, whose forging skills were far above that of a Master, knew that the most amazing thing was not quenching seven times, but quenching only once. Using one quenching to create eight magical attributes was the limit of rainbow adamantine forging!
A Smithing Guru was a Smithing Guru because they could do what a Smithing Master could not. The seven magical attributes of rainbow adamantine had always been the limit of every blacksmith's lifelong pursuit. If a blacksmith could create a magical weapon with seven attributes, it meant that his forging technique had reached the peak. However, those blacksmiths who stood at the peak knew that there were actually eight attributes above the seven attributes. It was just that this existence was more illusory than a myth. Giving a weapon eight magical attributes with a single quenching had always been a goal that only Blacksmith Masters were qualified to pursue …
Legend had it that those Smithing Gurus whose forging techniques were far above Smithing Masters could complete the forging in a single quenching and activate the eighth magical attribute of rainbow adamantine. At the same time, it would shine uncharacteristically …
And this time, Lin Li had used this technique that only belonged to Smithing Gurus.
It was a pity that no one, including Garza, could see the true value of the machete.
"Alright, Boss Kaman, it's getting late. Bring me to see that dwarf …" Lin Li was a little depressed that his masterpiece had been misunderstood. He was not in the mood to continue with the pleasantries, and after a few perfunctory words, he urged Kaman to bring him to buy the batch of ores.
"Alright, alright …"
As the two of them exchanged their fake pleasantries, Lasorick had already boarded the carriage with Garza sitting beside him. The Blacksmith Master was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed, oblivious to Lasorick's incessant grumbling.
"Master Garza, those two foreigners were too arrogant. Why didn't you let me teach them a lesson? And that unscrupulous merchant Kaman, not only did he sell fake goods in front of me, he even dared to doubt your judgment. If not for you, I would have torn down his shop today! "
"Alright, Lasorick, don't forget that you're Andrew's son. You're going to take over your father's place in charge of Doland City in the future. Being rash is not a good trait for a future castellan …" The middle-aged blacksmith could not help but frown at Lasorick's incessant grumbling.
"But …"
"No buts, Lasorick. Let me tell you, these two foreigners are not people you can teach a lesson to, especially the one in the black cloak …"
"The one in the black cloak?" Lasorick's expression was one of disapproval. "Isn't he just a follower? Why can't I teach him a lesson?"
"Follower?" Garza shifted his body slightly to straighten himself, and a cold smile slowly appeared on his tanned face. "You actually believe that he's a follower? Stop joking, Lasorick. That's a mage at least level-17. Even your father's chief mage might not have such abilities, and you actually think that he's a follower that you can teach a lesson to … "
"Level-17?" Lasorick swallowed hard, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Y-y-you … You're saying that the guy in the black cloak is a level-17 mage?"
"Maybe level-18 …"
"…"
"But there's something strange …" At this point, Garza furrowed his brows. His tanned face was filled with doubt as he muttered to himself, "I can't tell how powerful the other mage is. Could he be more powerful than the one in the black cloak?"
"Master Garza, what are you talking about?" Lasorick was confused by the muttering. What other mage? What was more powerful than the one in the black cloak? Was Garza referring to the arrogant guy who told him to be careful of his hands?
"That's right, that's right. Weapons forged with rainbow adamantine are indeed not all dull. That's right, it must be so, it must be so. Eight attributes, the legendary eight attributes …" Garza kept talking to himself, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became. In the end, he even stood up abruptly. "Stop the car!"
"What's wrong, Master Garza?" Lasorick was shocked.
"Don't ask so much, Lasorick. Send someone to Kaman's Exchange immediately, and bring me that machete!"
"Ah, machete?"
"Yes, that scimitar forged with rainbow adamantine!"
"Alright, Master Garza. Don't worry, I'll get someone to do it now …" Seeing that Garza did not seem to be joking, Lasorick did not dare to delay any further. He quickly got the coachman to stop the carriage, and called for a follower to buy the machete from Kaman's Exchange.
After that, Lasorick returned to the carriage with a puzzled look. "Master Garza, this, this … Why?"
"Lasorick …" The middle-aged blacksmith shook his head, his tanned face no longer showing any signs of calmness. "I was wrong. I never thought that there would be a Blacksmith Guru in this world …"
"Blacksmith Guru? What Blacksmith Guru?"
"A Blacksmith Guru who only exists in the legends. He can activate the eight magical attributes of rainbow adamantine with just one quenching!"
At this point, Lasorick finally realized something. "Are you talking about …"
"Yes, if I'm not wrong, the forger of that machete is a true Blacksmith Guru!"
"My God …"
