East Meet West

95- One last trial

I was escorted back to my room by a guard.

But before I left, I noticed that Bertha and Sheela looking at each other and I felt that something was going on between them. And as much as I would love to find out, I cannot forget that I don’t even have the skill to snoop on them, and let's not talk about my strength because that cannot even help me to protect myself against them if they truly had a conspiracy going.

Yeah, I might have the ‘Spy’ skill from the ‘Thief’ job, but its level is low and the difference in strength & cultivation is huge. So, it's extremely risky.

So, instead of worrying about this stuff, I laid on the bed and started thinking of how I can get some new skills.

Since I tried practicing with all kinds of weapons in the hope of getting some skill but I failed to get any, and I get that feeling that something was missing.

So, after resting for an hour or so, I decided to try one last thing that could get me a job or skill. That is – Making Weapons.

Most practically, if someone starts learning something then they start by getting familiar with it and after being involved for some time they get professional. So, if I start with making few weapons, then I should be able to get a job similar to ‘Black Smith’ or at least some skill related to making weapons. And of course, this theory has also been extracted from all the novels that I have read.

I already possess few ores, metals or materials that can be used to make weapons.

Now, all I need is a place where I can work without any disturbance. Although, I am familiar with most of the places in the Lamia Tribe, but I never heard of places that are related to ‘black smithy’ or where they make weapons or the most commonly used term in novels ‘Weapon refinery room’.

So, I called a guard and asked her if she could take me to a place where they manufacture weapons but she looked at me weirdly and informed me that they do not have any place like that and in the first place they do not even manufacture weapons. And the weapons they carry are mostly bought from other tribes that specialize in manufacturing weapons.

Well, there goes my chance to get a job or skill.

But of course, I was not discouraged by this because I felt that things related to making weapons should be available in the system shop. And to quickly confirm that, I asked the system to show me things related to making weapons like a smithy, hammer, anvil, tong, and other items.

‘ding’

In front of me, a huge window screen popped up and there were many items listed on it.

There were many items displayed like:

Furnaces with different temperature ranges, sizes, designs, and prices.

Workbench with different sizes and prices.

Anvils with expensive prices because of the materials it was made up of.

Tongs and hammers of different sizes, weights, and other properties with varying prices.

And all the other items that were related to the blacksmith job. And there was also a book which was titled as - ‘How to become a Black smith’ which just cost 10 Sikka.

Since I have all these items available in the shop and from the time spent in the Lamia tribe, I knew of an abandoned area with an unused hut, which would be perfect for blacksmithy and it would not disturb anyone and no one will disturb me.

So, first I bought the book and started reading it.

Although, with the help of the system, I can instantly gain complete knowledge available in the book and all the data in this book can be stored inside my brain, but there is a small issue with this.

If I use the system, then I will only be able to access a piece of particular information. Or to be more precise – Let’s take an example.

We use a dictionary or telephone diary and in that, we can easily locate any information based on a particular ‘keyword’. So, with that keyword getting the information is easy but we don’t know other data available in it. And only when we need any information, we access a part of it and the rest of the information is neglected.

And the same thing happens when I take the system’s help.

But if I read the whole book, all the data will be stored in my brain and I can easily remember all the content available in the book. So, it would be easier for me to search for something from my memory.

So, entering my room, I started reading the book.

It must be due to the ‘Sense’ and ‘intelligence’ stat that, I was able to read a whole page within 10-15 seconds and I even remembered the whole content.

After 20-25 minutes, I completely read the whole book and I was able to remember everything.

Closing the book, I decided to go to the abandoned area and work on blacksmithing.

After I exited my room, I walked for 20 minutes, and then came to the abandoned area where a broken hut was built in a corner. After I entered the hut, I saw its interior. The hut was empty and the insides were covered with spider webs and dust.

After removing the webs, I cleaned up the dust inside the hut.

Now, No normal human would be carrying a furnace and smithy with him. And if anyone finds me carrying, they will doubt me and look at me weirdly for doing so. But the most troublesome matter would be – since I am carrying all this, then surely, I must have a storage ring but how can I have a storage ring with such a huge space?

And if I get caught by Sheela or Bertha, then they will surely investigate it because when I was unconscious for 2 months, they must have checked the things that were with me. And I can tell this because the ‘Red Lancer sword’ and the ‘wind walker’ were not with my remaining things. And a few days later after I woke up, did my sword and shoes were returned by Sheela on the pretext that –

“I felt that this Weapon and Shoes were extraordinary and wanted to have good look at them, so I apologize for keeping them at my place without your permission”
