Abyss Domination - Chapter 121

Chapter 121

There wasn’t an easy way to explain who the children of the deities were .

Strictly speaking, Gloria belonged to the descendants of a deity . This is because the predecessor of the Northern Witches was from a powerful organization . This organization, which had existed for a long time, had leaders that were even once chosen to be the Goddess of Magic . That was also when the north gave birth to many powerful Witches in that period . Some of them even rivaled the deities .

However, that was a long time ago .

The only place to have records about the ‘Chosen Northerners’ was in ancient literature .

As a pure Northern Witch, Gloria more or less had some inheritance in her blood, which was similar to the Elven noble in front of Soran . Some of them had the opportunity to strengthen their talents, and others had already exhausted their bloodline powers .

For example, the God of Slaughter had fallen for some time now but the descendants he left behind, who were the Sons of Slaughter, had multiplied for generations to generations . In the end, they were no different from ordinary people .

Occasionally, a very gifted descendent would appear . This was unlikely because the blood would be so diluted .

There were many such cases .

Hence, most regarded the true descendants of deities were born within three generations . Anything else wouldn’t be considered anymore .

The Elven noble in front of Soran had no more divine powers; He may not have any trace of divinity in his body . At best, he had a little better blood and talent, and he might have slightly higher basic Attributes compared to ordinary people . His innate talents were roughly equivalent to the direct descendants of a legendary profession, or may even be inferior .

Once upon a time,

There was a saying that hero templates had inherited the blood of the God of Slaughter . That was why they could extract soul energy . Only a few of the world’s NPCs had very special existence to enhance their powers through killing . These special NPCs basically had a blood relationship with the God of Slaughter .

However, this was never proven .

Soran didn’t pay much attention to the Elven nobleman . He headed straight for the hotel, where he would rest for the day .

The village was not small, and the population was very large . It was only a matter of time before it became a well-developed town .

Soran’s Half-Elf blood was really thin, so he seemed very human and was not given many favors in the village . The Elves here still regarded him as a risky human being, and their attitude toward him was cold . The Elven race wasn’t actually a very friendly race . They were merely beautified by the Bards because the outside world was curious about them .

Soran even thought that the stubborn Dwarfs were a little better to deal with than the Elves!

There was a weapon shop in the village .

The Blacksmith was a big Elf, with no elegance to speak of . He banged with a hammer and wore an apron . There was no natural elegance . To eat, drink, and poop, one had to farm for food . To have food, clothing, and shelter, one had to work .

Even the Elves would use their excrement to fertilize the land . Some Druids who believed in the way of the earth would even do some seemingly dirty labor themselves, which they regarded as a form of cultivation .

The cultivation part was probably influenced by the Monks, especially the Ascetic Monks .

Over the years, a large number of professions have sprung up . The unchanging things would only be gradually eliminated . The Druids were now a relatively powerful spellcasting organization, among which the Enlightenment had even accepted the elements of Shamanism . The village Soran was in, believed in the earth’s teachings . Consequently, in the middle of the village, there was an ancient stone pillar .

From this perspective, it seems that the world is still very lively!

The burly Elven Blacksmith took a look at Soran . Blacksmiths were a profession best not to be messed with . They were staunchly middle class and a very common advance profession in many areas .

People who dared to mess around in a weapon shop would always end up regretting their decision .

Soran, naturally, would not disrespect the Blacksmith in front of him . After more than ten years of Blacksmithing, the Blacksmith was basically trained as a Quasi-Fighter . Soran nodded slightly and said, “I want to buy a quality curved sword, and I have no problem with the prices . ”

“Curved sword?” The burly elf Blacksmith looked at him for a while then brought one out of the back and handed it to him . “How’s this one?” he said .

Entry level .

Soran didn’t even have to look at it closely . He took the weapon over and instantly knew that it was an entry level weapon . It was even slightly too light .

He shook his head somewhat disappointedly and said, “It’s too light . I’m afraid this hardness can’t withstand the explosive power of battles . This might even become damaged when going against the Gnolls . ”

The Elven Blacksmith glanced at him then said, “Well, then there’s nothing better . ”

“I mainly make sickles and kitchen knives, or longswords for the patrol guards . If you want a long sword, I still have some good ones here . ”

Elven patrol longswords?

Soran recalled that they seemed to have carried precision forged items . Does that mean that the Blacksmith in front of him could precision forge?

Basically, Blacksmiths who could do precision forging were able to make rare grade 1 weapons with special materials .

The craftsmanship of the Elves was not bad .

Otherwise, he would not have been able to create two legendary curved swords in the Underdark . The Blacksmith in front of him was not a master, but he should be able to build a + 1 curved sword .

High-grade Blacksmiths were rare to come across . That’s not to say the average Blacksmith was not good, but that the profession was already a high-grade profession!

Thus a high-grade Blacksmith was someone who also mastered other skills .

The man who once forged Soran’s legendary curved sword was a level 15 Ranger/level 3 Ronin/level 8 Sorcerer . He had a proper legendary profession, and this fellow even had a quarter of Dragon blood .

His family once captured a Shadow Dragon .

Capturing a Shadow Dragon was not the most important thing, the important fact was that it was a male Shadow Dragon . That was why the evil Drows imprisoned it .

They used a certain spell to change the Dragon to have a Human form .

Then there really was nothing much more to say, since everyone knew what the Drows were capable of . A group of female Drows imprisoned the male Dragon for a long time and every day they committed acts which were inappropriate for children . In the end, they succeeded in giving birth to a large number of mixed-blood Half-Dragons . When the male Dragon finally escaped, he almost went mad . He went after all of the mixed-blood Half-Dragons, but some of them survived .

One of them was the one that forged Soran’s legendary curved sword!

Soran had to finish many tasks before the Drow finally forged his weapon . He even had to kill one of the candidates for the head of a family .

Fortunately, the blacksmith in front of Soran did not have such high demands .

Soran glanced at him and asked tentatively, “If I get you the materials, could you build a rare grade weapon?”

“Hmm?”

The Elven Blacksmith looked at him, thought for a moment, then murmured, “It’s certainly possible if I had the materials, but I don’t know Alchemy so I can’t add elemental damage . ”

That was good enough for Soran .

Soran didn’t ask for an element damage buff now . It took at least a hundred or two hundred in Alchemy in order to add elemental damage .

It was enough for him to have a + 1 ordinary rare-grade curved sword . Average Blacksmiths were quite common, but only a few of them could make fine military grade equipment . There even fewer who could add elemental damage .

The Dwarven Blacksmiths were as arrogant as the mountain goats, but when Soran went there to see them, they were only a group with 150 to 250 blacksmith skill .

No one in Ironforge was able to make a grade 3 rare curved sword!

Indeed, the Dwarfs should not be completely trusted .

These Dwarfs would boast once they had a round or two, and their boasts usually weren’t true!

The Elven Blacksmith in front of him seemed to be approaching middle age . He must have been forging for quite some years . Soran estimated his forging skills could be more than 200 . It should be possible for him to forge a rare grade 1 curved sword .

Soran immediately followed up and said, “What do you need! I’ll bring them to you as soon as I can . ”

Rare grade 1 items were not uncommon .

They probably had Refined Iron here but may be lacking in some other materials .

“300 Derahls . ” The Elven Blacksmith was not in a hurry . First, he looked at Soran, then he took out a rough piece of paper and wrote down a list of things . “You just have to find me the items here . In fact, you could probably buy them from Priest Hierro . ”

Soran took it over and looked at it .

The items on the list were not very rare and probably was worth around 200 Derahls . In the list, Fluorite was the easiest to find . Custom made weapons cost twice as much as used weapons, but 500 Derahls was still within Soran’s acceptable price range .

So, he agreed without any hesitation .

For a while, he even felt a little sad that he was finally getting a rare-grade weapon after being so long in this world .

Even though it was only a grade 1 weapon, he was already satisfied .

At least the custom made curved sword could be made according to his standard, which was definitely better than the military grade weapon he bought previously . For a skillful Rogue like him, weapons that fit him best were the best to use . Otherwise, it wouldn’t be too hard to buy a + 1 longsword . The problem was that a one-meter sword was a longsword, and a one and a half meter sword was also a longsword . Even though this fellow called every long sword a longsword, it definitely felt different when used .

A Rogue was definitely more particular about his or her weapon compared to a Fighter; Fighters relied more on their skills, not their weapons to determine how powerful they were .

That’s one done deal .

The Elven Blacksmith began to work after he gots the deposit . First, he needed to melt the Refined Iron . Rare-grade weapons were all forged from steel that had hundreds of folds . The Elven Blacksmiths were characterized by their ability to create tiny fish scale patterns in the process of forging . The Dwarfs forged weapons which had high hardness while the Elves forged weapons that were tough, both made weapons that were not easily broken .

Soran went straight to buy all the materials, without bargaining and sent them to the blacksmith .

The Elven Blacksmith seemed very interested in making the rare-grade weapon . He even heated his furnace overnight, indicating that the forging could be completed in three days . This was undoubtedly good news, and Soran’s injuries would also be completely recovered at that time .
