Huuhaa, Huuhaa.
Kieran was panting heavily, it took him a few seconds to calm down.
Then, he agreed to the terms.
Even though the stingy soul was growling, he didn't question Blacksmith's false offer.
During the battle with Black Hell Banning, Blacksmith stood up for him without a second thought, it was enough for Kieran to look up to her. Plus their usual interactions, Kieran knew Blacksmith's character very well, he didn't think she would do something like this.
Blacksmith: Equip the equipment you want and come to 99th Emma Street.
Blacksmith: [Ghastly Sapphire] is different from other gemstones, it requires the user to be there.
2567: Okay!
...
After a clear answer, Kieran quickly looked at his Points tab.
[Points: 310000; Skill Points: 75; Golden Skill Points: 1; Golden Attribute Points: 7]
...
"After paying 300000 Points, I still have …"
"It's enough!"
Kieran calculated.
Then, he looked at Lawless.
"I need a pair of gloves with at least Rare rank and above. It must not affect my fingers' nimbleness and have excellent protection. I can pay around 50 Skill Points for it, but if the equipment is good enough, the price can go up to 75 Skill Points!"
Kieran stated his request.
Kieran didn't hide anything from Lawless, stating his low price right away.
Lawless nodded.
Knowing what Kieran wanted to do, Lawless moved out right away.
30 minutes later, an orange glowing right hand with a severed finger appeared in Kieran's hand.
[Name: Seattle Right Hand]
[Type: Glove]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: Strong]
[Defense: Strong]
[Attribute: Hand Shield]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Hand-to-hand Combat (Grand Master)]
[Remark: Its defense isn't the strongest, but at least it can keep you alive!]
...
[Hand Shield: The glove will temporarily transform into a tower shield with Extreme defense, 5-second duration, 3 times per day]
[Note: After gathering Seattle Left Hand, the hidden effect will be triggered]
...
"Not bad!"
Kieran commented.
The price of 70 Skill Points was worthy of such an evaluation.
If converted into points, that would be 21.
However, looking at the Extreme defense of the [Hand Shield], everything was worth it.
Kieran could even guess that Lawless must have used his personal connections again. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find a suitable piece of equipment in such a short time.
"Together?"
Kieran asked Lawless.
"Of course!"
Lawless replied.
However, when Kieran and Lawless arrived at 99th Emma Street, they were met with a closed door.
Blacksmith clearly told Kieran that only he was allowed to enter.
"How heartless!"
Lawless sighed as he leaned against the entrance of the courtyard of the two-story bungalow.
However, no matter how much he sighed, he could not stop Kieran from moving forward.
Everything has its priorities.
Fooling around was one thing, but business was business.
After waving at Lawless, Kieran pushed the door open.
Kieran sized up the exquisitely decorated courtyard filled with potted plants before he knocked on the door again.
Tssk Gak!
The door opened and Kieran entered.
Then, he was astonished by the simple and clean furnishings before his eyes.
In fact, the room in front of him was basically empty except for a huge round table.
On the table was a backpack the size of a school bag.
Then, there was the [Ghastly Sapphire].
The tall, slender Blacksmith in a red mantle was holding the table and when Kieran walked in, her eyes never left Kieran.
Likewise, Kieran.
Although both of them had talked a lot, it was only the second time they met.
This kind of private, quiet meeting was the first time.
Kieran quickly kept his gaze away and took out [Seattle Right Hand].
The education he had received did not allow him to stare unscrupulously at a lady who was not hostile to him for a long period of time.
More so, he knew how cold and quiet Blacksmith was.
Maybe it was her nature.
Maybe it was to imitate a veteran and confuse the illusory with the real.
Regardless of the reason, Kieran respected Blacksmith's choice.
"A glove?
I thought it was armor. "
Blacksmith was stunned when she saw the glove in Kieran's hand.
However, she didn't ask further, she didn't even wait for Kieran to answer before she started to embed the glove.
Rubies of the same color were taken out from her backpack one after another.
Then, the rubies started to burn in Blacksmith's hand, together with [Tourist's Hand].
That pure white, slender palm seemed to have turned into a furnace.
More rubies were thrown into the furnace.
Kieran was speechless at the scene before his eyes.
He finally knew why the embedding cost 30 points this time. The Blacksmith had used up more than 30 rubies.
A single ruby cost 2000 Points and 1 Skill Point.
However, rubies of the same color would increase in value.
The 30 rubies before Kieran's eyes were worth at least 20 Points.
But it wasn't the end.
Kieran continued to count the number of gemstones that were consumed.
When the number reached 40, Kieran's heart started to race.
When the number reached 50, Kieran knew he owed Blacksmith another favor.
Blacksmith's embedding fee was obviously a friendship price.
A debt of gratitude was hard to repay.
Kieran understood it very well.
Fortunately, after burning a total of 50 rubies, the embedding seemed to have reached the end of the process.
Blacksmith picked up [Seattle Right Hand] and covered it with her burning palm.
The orange glow of the equipment started to shine.
Suddenly, a smear of gold was mixed in.
Then, the gold engulfed the orange glow like a sudden clap of thunder.
The gold shone brightly.
It was Legendary.
Kieran looked at Blacksmith in astonishment since he knew what it meant.
The abilities displayed by the other party far exceeded the scope of his understanding.
Kieran was no longer a newbie. Although he never learned any embedding skills, he had a general idea of it. However, based on what he knew, none of the skills could produce the same effect as Blacksmith.
"Enhancing the item's rarity through embedding?
And the way she burned the rubies of the same color before …
Is it some kind of skill? Or talent? "
Kieran wondered in his heart.
However, it didn't stop him from expressing his gratitude.
"Thank you!"
Kieran didn't check on the upgraded [Seattle Right Hand] right away. He looked at Blacksmith, who was obviously exhausted, and said with gratitude.
"It's just a win-win situation.
My talent needs this kind of training to reach a higher rank. I hope you can help me search for similar quality [Ghastly Sapphire] to complete more embedding, and I'll give you … "
Blacksmith said softly.
However, her calmness was soon broken.
Her voice was stopped abruptly.
Her face was blurred out by the system but her eyes were filled with astonishment.
The pair of clear eyes behind the red rimmed glasses was looking at Kieran in disbelief.
Or more precisely, the black button-sized gemstone in Kieran's hand.
"If you don't mind …"
"We can continue."
Kieran said calmly.
