What Monique was referring to was the completion of the Vallurian Warrior Hall. Before Brando left Valhalla for Ampere Seale, he had instructed Monica to build all the buildings that could be built in Valhalla. Although the main focus was to train the Wind Archers and complete the second stage of Valhalla, Monica still took the time to complete the construction of the Valuren Warrior Hall while he was away in the Deadly Frost Forest. Perhaps it wasn't complete, because the hall had just been completed. It was just that the Light Elf girl came to report to him a few days ago.
In fact, the reason why Brando chose the Wind Archers as the focus of the initial construction of Valhalla was because he had ready-made Tree Elf Archers as a source of troops. On the other hand, Valhalla didn't have any information about the Valuren Warrior Hall. It was unlike the Wind Elf Archer Camp and the Tree Nest, which had a clear description of the types of troops produced, how to train them, the price, and the resources required.
However, the description of the Valuren Warrior Hall only had one sentence – it was a functional building.
Brando had only seen this description in auxiliary buildings like the Wizard Tower, the Moon Tower, and the Crystal Pool. These buildings usually had to be built by the players themselves before they could figure out their uses. However, the Valuren Warrior Hall sounded like a training building similar to Erouine's noble army camp. The fact that the description was so vague made Brando feel very strange. However, at the time when Tónigel was just being built and was about to face a possible war, Brando didn't dare to test his curiosity on such matters. Thus, he chose to build the Wind Elf Archer Camp, which was more reliable.
However, this didn't mean that he wasn't curious about the Valuren Warrior Hall. In fact, as a player, he was dying of curiosity. And today, his curiosity could finally be satisfied.
When Monica came to report to him, her gaze was clearly a little evasive, which made him feel that something was wrong.
The first layer of Valhalla was formed during the first stage of the World Tree's growth. This ring spiraled upwards to the plaza area at the top of the tree. It could fit three to four carriages side by side like a wooden street. Currently, there weren't many buildings on the ring, and there were only a dozen or so Elven Archer Towers. These Archer Towers seemed to have grown out of the tree trunk, and their bases were tightly connected to the wooden street. Between the Archer Towers and the Archer Towers were connected by long walls of vines. These vines were about the height of a person's chest, similar to a parapet with thorns on one side. In addition, there were many ancient tree-like structures between the Archer Towers. These ancient tree-like structures had human faces on their trunks. Most of the time, these trees had their eyes closed, and only occasionally would they talk to the patrolling Tree Elf Archers. These were the Tree Burrows, and their roots were actually the Root Guards that covered the entire Valhalla. Currently, there were more than 220 Tree Burrows in Valhalla, and more than 2000 Root Guards were enough to guard the entire upper layer.
The Valuren Warrior Hall was located in the middle of these Tree Burrows, and it looked like an extension of the ring. Two thick tree branches supported the platform, and the entire building looked extremely majestic. The grand hall looked a little like the Viking's Longhouse that Brando saw in his previous life, but it was much more majestic. The interior of the building was spacious and bright, and twelve giant pillars supported the hall's tall dome. In the center of the hall, there were three to four meter tall Giant Warriors sparring with each other. They held spears or heavy swords in their hands, and sparks flew everywhere as they fought. Even Brando's arrival didn't attract the attention of these brave warriors.
Those were the Cloud Giants.
Brando looked at these giants happily, and he was both surprised and curious. Once, the noblest bloodline of the Giants came from Milos. But the Frost Giants had long become history, and their descendants, the Cloud Giants and Fire Giants, were displaced like the other Silver Folk after the War of the Holy Saints. In the end, only the descendants of the Black Iron Giants lived north of today's Hammer Mountains, and they were the Hill Giants of the Temple of the Earth. Legend had it that the Fire Giants were both warlike and tyrannical, but the Cloud Giants were a legendary race that was no less glorious than the Silver Elves. They lived in the Sacred Mountain of Storm's End, and were a tribe that adhered to tradition. In the War of the Dusk, the Cloud Giant King picked up a human baby and raised him. This human baby later became history's most famous hero — the Azure Knight. As for the legendary Cloud Giant tribe that the Azure Knight grew up in, it was a mystery whether here or in the game.
In fact, this was the first time that Brando had seen these giants with his own eyes.
Their skin was very white, and they were different from the barbaric appearance that people imagined. The Cloud Giants, whether they were warriors or craftsmen, were all wearing exquisite armor or gorgeous clothes. Most of them had sideburns, but the sideburns were very clean, and each of them was like a character from the Greek mythology of the previous world. Their eyes were light blue, like gemstones, and their hair was made of gold, shining brightly. The weapons in their hands were etched with beautiful patterns, but they were still so sturdy that they were not afraid of sparks flying when they collided with each other.
When Brando, Monica, and Princess Metisha passed through the hall, the Cloud Giants noticed their existence and stopped to look at them. A giant wearing a white robe with golden edges walked out of the crowd. When he saw Brando, he probably recognized his identity and bowed to him. "Honorable Lord, I am Babu, a craftsman from the people of the Cloud. It is an honor to be of service to you." The giant replied with a gentle voice, looking gentle and polite. But even so, Brando could still feel the extraordinary aura of the other party.
"Hello, it is also my pleasure," he replied, "Are you Heroic Spirits?"
"He is Babu, Lord!" Metisha exclaimed in a low voice, "He is the most outstanding craftsman in the history of the Cloud Giants! Ah! Behind him are Gorju, Esred, and the King of the Forges, Aftirodi. They are all the most outstanding craftsmen of different eras. My God, he, they are all in Valhalla! " Other than Babu, Brando did not know any of these names. But other than Babu, the legend of Gaia using his hand to forge the Azure Lance was a myth that most people in Wohnde were familiar with. He was the greatest craftsman in the history of the Cloud Giants, and could even be crowned as the Craftsman of God. As for the others, Brando understood from Metisha's tone.
They were all at least on the same level as Babu.
"There are not many people in the modern world who can recognize us. Little girl, can you tell me your name?" Babu asked.
"Metisha, I am a Silver Elf, Lord Babu." Metisha replied respectfully. Brando had never seen her show such a humble side, even in front of him.
"Oh, Silver Elves, I have heard of you." The giant craftsman showed a look of realization, "I heard that the Miirnas found a tribe in the Holy Silver Valley. That should be your people. At that time, you began to learn to use the Law and break through ignorance. Presumably, many years later, you should have established a glorious civilization by now. The rise and fall of history, one civilization after another rose in the long river, each shining brightly in an era. Seeing you, I am reminded of the past. "
Metisha blushed a little and replied embarrassedly, "Lord Babu, the era that belongs to us has passed. Now, it is the era of the Lord's civilization."
Babu was stunned, and then sighed, "So it has been so long. It seems that Elaine's river has flowed for a long time."
Brando listened to the conversation between Babu and Metisha, and he was shocked. According to Metisha's description, Babu and the others suddenly appeared at the moment the hall was completed. What kind of existence were they? Naturally, he was well aware of this.
Craftsmen – whether it was blacksmiths, tailors, bootmakers or candlemakers, they were all classified as a separate profession in the game. Just like scholars and alchemists, they were all part of The Amber Sword's huge life profession system. As craftsmen, they naturally had to learn professional skills. Different professions in the game not only limited the upper level of professional skills, but also provided bonuses for different professional skills. For example, blacksmiths would provide a considerable EXP bonus for forging, smelting, and preparation skills. But even so, in order to train a professional skill to the level of a grandmaster, they would at least need to level up the corresponding life profession to more than level 150.
Although the level of life professions was more relaxed than combat professions, it was still a long process, at least ten years of game time. And only by meeting this requirement could a craftsman be called a grandmaster of the profession.
And what level was a divine craftsman?
Once a skill's level exceeded level 20, every level after that would be an opportunity that could only be encountered by chance. When a skill reached level 25, it could be said to be a godly skill that was close to the Dao. A Divine Blacksmith would have to reach the level of a godly skill in all of his professional skills that had bonuses. As far as Brando knew, until the last era of the game, there were three divine craftsmen among the players, belonging to the three most powerful player organizations of the time. And one of the NPCs was the master craftsman of Madara, Bohmiende. Brando remembered that Bohmiende and Tamar had a master-disciple relationship in alchemy. He didn't know if Madara had discovered him in this era.
But throughout the history of The Amber Sword, there was only one person who had been crowned as a divine craftsman: Babu.
And now, this legendary figure was right in front of him, and he was accompanied by seven or eight other divine craftsmen, who might be serving Valhalla soon. Brando now felt like he had been hit by a flying biscuit. Although he vaguely sensed something from Monica's panicked tone, he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. After all, Monica said, "My lord, you, you better come and see! Something big has happened! There are a lot of strange people in the Lovalen Warrior Hall that has just been repaired. They seem to be heroic spirits from somewhere! "
Brando thought that Valhalla had sent him a few instructors, similar to Monica, but he didn't expect it to be Babu.
This was Babu —
It took him a while to react, and he interrupted, "Lord Babu, are you the owner of this Lovalen Warrior Hall?"
Babu stopped his conversation with Medissa. It was obvious that he was very happy to meet an 'acquaintance'. He turned around and nodded. "I am indeed the owner of this hall. Valulun means brave and fearless in the language of the Titans. This hall is the resting place of the bravest warriors in our mythology. The craftsmen would tailor the best weapons and armor for them. After enjoying a sumptuous banquet, they would pick up these weapons and go to war to kill the enemy."
"Wait a minute." Brando seemed to have understood something. He finally understood why the Lovalen Warrior Hall was called the Warrior Hall, but there was a description of the building's function. This name was ridiculous! He couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Lord Babu, you mean, this is a blacksmith's shop?"
Babu nodded again, "You can say that."
Brando was not disappointed at all when he heard Babu's answer. In fact, he was very excited. He couldn't help but ask, "You mean, you will be staying in Valhalla to forge weapons and armor for the warriors of Valhalla?"
"Of course, my lord. Valhalla is the final destination of us heroic spirits, but I never thought that it would be able to see the light of day one day. It is our honor to be able to contribute to this place."
Brando took a deep breath when he heard this. He was so happy that he almost jumped up. If this was in the game, he would have done the same. What a joke, this was a Divine Blacksmith! The Divine Blacksmith, the most legendary blacksmith in history, and seven or eight similar characters. With them as blacksmiths, what would the future of Valhalla be like? Brando could already imagine an army fully armed to the teeth, with even their underwear being Fantasy grade equipment, rampaging across the continent. His mind was filled with thoughts of 'I am already invincible', but after being 'my lord' for a while, especially under Amandina's condemnation, he finally calmed down a lot. He held back his excitement and asked, "Then can I let you forge armor and weapons for my army?"
"That is my duty, my lord."
"Great," Brando blurted out, "What materials do you want? Just tell me, please help me forge a hundred sets of Fantasy grade archer armor and longbows. If you can rush it, that would be even better!"
In his imagination, this was nothing to Babu and the others. They were all genuine Divine Blacksmiths, and one of them had even forged a real divine artifact, and not a third-rate divine artifact, but the Azure Lance. Getting such a Divine Blacksmith to forge Fantasy grade weapons and armor was not much more difficult than ordinary blacksmiths to forge white plate armor. As long as there were enough materials and magic crystals, they could create standard Fantasy equipment like a game. Brando once saw a Divine Blacksmith forge Fantasy armor with his own eyes. Although it was not standard armor, the high success rate of 87.3% still left him dumbfounded.
For Fantasy grade equipment, a failure rate of less than 12% was completely acceptable. "No," Brando shook his head, "It should not be acceptable, it should be a big profit!"
But unexpectedly, Babu shook his head for such a simple matter, "This … I'm afraid it's not possible."
"Why?" Brando was stunned, "Is it because there's not enough time?"
"No," the Divine Blacksmith shook his head again, "It's because it can't be done."
"Can't be done?" Brando asked in confusion, "How is that possible, you are the legendary Divine Blacksmith?"
Babu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My lord, that was in the past. Now our power is closely related to the power of Valhalla, and Valhalla is now just a newborn territory, so our ability and experience level are actually still limited to a very low level. "
"Huh?" Brando did not expect that he would have to face the cruel reality right after he had a beautiful dream. He suddenly realized that Valhalla was also a part of The Amber Sword's game system. If it was still in the game, it seemed unlikely that a new lord would be able to get a Divine Blacksmith or something like that, and a group of them at that. It was indeed a bit illogical. If others knew about it, wouldn't it be a mess? He thought for a moment and understood that Valhalla was a territory with great potential, but this potential referred to the potential for future development. One day, Babu and the others might indeed return to the level of their peak with the growth of Valhalla, but that was a day after all.
After Brando woke up, he completely calmed down. He understood that the so-called 'one day' must be quite a long time ago, especially with the level of consumption of Valhalla. Perhaps one day it would become the world's most legendary fortress, but before that, it must have consumed a legendary number of resources.
This design was in line with the consistent style of the Amber Sword game. It was a perfect fit, giving you a tempting pie, but also telling you to take one step at a time. You can't eat a fatty in one go.
He was stunned for a long time before he had to accept this depressing reality, and couldn't help but ask a little dejectedly, "Then Lord Babu, may I ask what level of ability you have now?"
"About the same as the two masters under you." Babu replied.
Brando was startled, and then he saw the two master craftsmen, Tamar and Bosley, among the giants. They were one step ahead of him, and it seemed that they were already here when the Light Spirits finished this hall. Now they were like fish in water, after all, most of the people here were their peers, and they were also legendary seniors. It was rare that they were limited by Valhalla's power, and now these legendary craftsmen were about the same level as them. Otherwise, with their standards, they would only be able to act like elementary school students in front of these people.
However, he didn't expect Babu and the others' standards to be so horribly limited. It was polite to say that their standards were low. Tamar might be famous in the future, and could be considered a quasi-divine craftsman, but to be honest, he could only be considered a talented alchemist. Bosley was indeed a master craftsman in the past, but after being locked up in Graudin's dungeon for so long, he had already slipped. He was now on the same level as Tamar. He was outstanding in Tónigel, and even in the whole of Randner, but in Erouine, he could only be considered a first-rate craftsman, and not the best. In the whole of the Holy Cathedral of Fire, Fanzin and Saint-Ausol, there were innumerable masters like them.
Brando originally thought that he had obtained a group of God-level talents, but he didn't expect that it was only a group of first-rate craftsmen. Although their future potential was unknown, the future was too far away. At least for now, he was depressed. This was the difference between dreams and reality.
