Chapter 1189: Quest Completion (Part 4): Berlinʼs Personal Forging Technique

...

Shin was completely caught off guard by the words that Berlin had said. He was not sure how to react, especially with some conflict from the words that the old dwarf had said.

Unfortunately, he did not have any time to dwell on it since the grandcraftsman, who was already at the Saint Rank of Blacksmithing, was already starting to work.

With that, he could only focus his gaze and used his ʼTrue Sightʼ Skill to make sure that he would not be missing anything. At the same time, he also remembered one of the Legacy Skills that he had long forgotten – the ʼDuplicatorʼs Eyesʼ.

He activated one of the effects of the Legacy Skill, which was especially used when he was ʼlearningʼ.

Under his gaze, he watched and observed every movement that the old dwarf was making. He particularly focused on the breathing that the dwarf was using the entire time. But what he could see, it was a special breathing technique that the dwarves used.

From what he could tell, this must be the technique that Berlin wanted him to learn the most. The old dwarf must have sensed that Shin had a high affinity when it came to fire elements, especially how he was able to withstand the heat inside this place.

Hence, Berlin wanted him to learn this technique too to have much better control over Fire Element.

Unknown to Shin, he started to subconsciously imitate the breathing technique of the old dwarf with the help of the ʼDuplicatorʼs Eyesʼ. He even copied the circulation of the energy within the dwarfʼs body without him knowing.

He was too focused to notice those changes.

On the other hand, Berlin, who was supposedly busy with his work, was able to notice the sudden change within Shinʼs body as well as the air surrounding him.

”Not bad,” he muttered with a satisfied smile before continuing with his work.

At the same time, he also started explaining without caring whether Shin was able to hear him or not. In a sense, he seemed to be talking to himself while doing his job.

”This blade is originally forged from two metals with different properties to complement the elements of its first wielder, which were the Powers of the Brilliant Sun and Abyssal Moon.”

”To reawaken those properties and return it to his former self, we need materials with the same properties and their purity must be on the same level too. This is why I ask you to get these high-quality materials,” he added as he pointed at the materials laid on one of the forging tables while waiting for the blade of the [Yamato] to be fully melted.

On that table, the materials of the best quality could be seen. The Fruit of Nirvana and Sunfire Fragments which contained a lot of fire elemental energy, and the Lunar Essence and Moonfrost Shards that were reached in ice elemental energy were releasing a pulsing beat with their mana.

”With the best materials, it is hard to reforge such an item. Melting its blade alone is going to take a very long time. This is the reason why I have chosen this place as my main forging ground.”

While saying that, the old dwarf took the Earthen Charcoals from the table and threw them at the blazing furnace, making the heat that it had to further increase and intensify.

Bullets of sweat flew down from his forehead as he patiently waited for the blade to melt down properly.

The temperature within the furnace continued to soar as Berlin continued to put more Earthen Charcoals in it. He had yet to use the special ones that Shin had secured, so the dwarven blacksmith was relatively relaxed while waiting.

When the blade was finally melted into a perfectly liquified state, Berlin finally continued his lecture. ”Fusing materials with different properties was very difficult, much less the ones with opposing properties, so finding a metal that could perfectly contain those opposing elements and keep them under control is very important.”

He then took the Ancient Void Metals laid on the table before continuing. ”These metals have special properties that can keep the balance between the opposing powers of Ice and Fire. It will form a perfect vessel that can contain both powers from the Brilliant Sun and Abyssal Moon together with the other two metals that we have here.”

He then turned to Shin and pointed at the Sunfire Fragment and Moonfrost Shard laid on the table. ”Infuse your mana on these metals. It is to familiarize themselves with you and be able to recognize you as their sole owner once the sword is completed.”
