Chapter 122

(Return of the 8th Class Mage)  Chapter 114 .  Assembling the Master Craftsmen (2)

“Have you heard the rumors?”

“The white dragon?”

“Uh?  Yeah I know?”

“Yup, I sure know . ”

“That rumor has been percolating for a while . ”

“Everybody is talking about it wherever you go?”

In the past few months .

A new rumor has become the talk of the town .

It was about a rumor of a ‘white dragon’ .

“A lot of people claim to have seen it in person . ”

“Still, there isn’t anyone saying that around here?”

“According to the merchants, coming into the town… . . ”

It was in an alehouse in ‘Roharam’, the capitol city of Roe Principality

It was when the topic of the gossip was being exchanged .

“Krrrrrrung-!”

From the outside of the alehouse, to be exact, from a distant sky, came a strange metallic noise .  Although it wasn’t certain, it appeared to be a sound of an animal .

“What, what the heck is that?”

“It doesn’t sound like a human… . . ”

“… . . Could it be?”

Both fearful and curious, the gossipers, in the alehouse, just kept looking at each other .  Having gathered all the courage that they could, they walked out of the alehouse .  Could it be the appearance of the ‘white dragon’, the topic of the rumor?

“There, there… . . !”

“Dragon… . . ?”

“Is that truly a dragon?”

“What, what the… . . ”

“It’s not possible… . . ”

The citizens of the Roharam were already in the street, looking up towards the sky .  Everyone was in astonishment as they were pointing at something in the sky, which resembled the ‘white dragon’, the topic of the rumor .  It was the exact same image of the dragon that people generally understood .

“Krrrrrr……!”

The gigantic white dragon hovered over the skies of the Roe Principality’s capitol city of Roharam .  It moved evenly about as if to demonstrate its existence and awesomeness to the puny little humans .

“This should be enough . ”

“Krrrrrreung… . . !”

The base of the neck couldn’t be seen by the people .



From there, a voice of a man was heard .

It was Ian, who was invoking invisible magic .

“This should be sufficient for them to begin talking about this . ”

Along with ‘Dradragon Number 1’, Ian traveled widely around the major cities and regions of the continent, which was made up of Roe Principality, Coldwood Empire and Greenriver Empire .

Of course, he did not forget about going to the Great Eastern Plains and other major non territorial cities, which the influence of the empire did not reach .  Meticulously, he flew to any area where there were people to start a rumor .

“Let’s return .  To the Knocking Island . ”

“Krung!”


Ian and Dradragon Number 1 completed the travel around the continent as planned .  They headed back to the Knocking Island, the place of assembly for the master craftsmen .  Perhaps, a few of the master craftsmen have already arrived after hearing the rumor early .

***

It took longer than expected for Ian and Dradragon Number 1 to return to the Knocking Island .  On their way back, they decided to spread rumors while waiting for the master craftsmen to return .  It was more of a leisurely return trip that they decided to take .

“Three of them have already come?”

“Yes .  They’ve returned much earlier than anticipated . ”

Is it due to the leisurely return trip?

The surprising news was waiting for Ian .

He had only expected to see, maybe one or two of them to return .

However, three of the master craftsmen have already returned .



“The remaining three friends haven’t returned yet, but at this rate, wouldn’t they be returning fairly soon?  Indeed, it was a strategy from the one, fitting worthy of being a Fran’s descendant . ”

Bertholdo’s continence has brightened up upon seeing his friends in a while .  Even his pale face appeared to recover its shade .  Of course, it was only in thought as his paleness has not changed .

“Well, let me introduce them to you first . ”

The three master craftsmen, including Bertholdo and Craven, all had their unique, individual characteristics that set them apart .  From race to gender, appearance and build, nothing was the same .  The only common characteristic was the fact that they all had rare black hair .

“First, this lady’s name is Halia, a master blacksmith . ”

“Lady?  What a full of BS .  What is this old man talking about something that was several hundred years ago .  Have you gone mad in pairs with Craven?”

Bertholdo has introduced a woman in black hair first .  From an outward appearance alone, she was no more than in her early twenties, but she, too, was one of the chosen master craftsmen that have lived multiple life times .  Her tone of speech was not, in any way, ordinary .

“Enough pleasantries .  I heard that you are the man’s descendant?  I’ve heard of you .  Ian Paige, the grand sorcerer of Greenriver .  I was wondering whether you were related or not as you shared the same last name . ”

She said that she had given up everything and went into the dwarf’s underground city and focused on blacksmith work .  Was it why?  Her tone of speech was very coarse .  Based on the reputation, the dwarfs were known to be hot tempered… . .

“Please forgive her as she was a coarse person to begin with . ”

Bertholdo whispered to Ian’s ear .

Well, she may have just been born with that style of speech .

“It is my honor to meet you .  I’m Ian Paige . ”

“Honor, what a BS .  Just kill me quickly, will you . ”

“I will try . ”

Yet, Ian did not mind it .  Having put on a smile, he even extended his hand out for a handshake .  Although his gesture was rejected, he did not lose his smile .  It was a sign that everything was cool .  She had lived for a very long time, unable to die, so what if her speech was a bit rough?

‘What’s important was the artifact . ’

Furthermore, she is one of the master craftsmen, who would gift him with one of the remaining artifacts .  He had every intention to forgive her coarse speech, even if she was to curse him out in his face .  At least until he got what he wanted of course .

“And this here is the master jeweler… . . ”

“I’m Dennis . ”

Dennis, the master jeweler, who had dark circles as if he had makeup on, quickly introduced himself .  Then he went to a private area and simply looked up in the sky .  He was a very quiet reserved man .

“He is a quiet person by nature, hope you can understand… . . ”

“It’s no bother .  There is no need to apologize . ”

Ian let it pass in kindness .

A person could have a reserved personality .

It’s reasonable to be somewhat unfriendly .

‘Yes, that is possible . ’

“Thank you .  Ah, and lastly… . . ”

“Glad to meet you!  I’m Jerbio .   I was a carpenter, but now I try to do everything that can be done with wood .  Build houses, construct ships, tables .  Ah by the way, I developed a log for fire that would last ten times longer than an ordinary log . ”

Jerbio, who has introduced himself as a carpenter has greatly impressed Ian .  He had a physique that was much bigger than Oliver and even the seamen of the Pilten Pier .  Without exaggerating, his single fist was as big as Ian’s head .  It made him wonder whether he has a giant’s bloodline .

“In this era, I am planning to go into a new business using this fire log, what is your opinion on this, descendant?  If some support can be provided from the Greenriver side this time, I could definitely… . . ”
