"That…" William couldn't believe he got what he desired from the start, "I want a glaive, a good grade one, like a gold grade. Can you make one for me?"
"A gold grade glaive? This…" The two masters in front of him changed their looks when they heard what he said.
"If it will cost a lot, I can pay part of the costs," William got the still valuable cores of the bears. These cores would soon lose their value, and if he'd get his glaive in return for one of them, he'd gladly accept the exchange.
"No, no price is too much for us," Sang said, and yet his face still showed his struggle.
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ "Then… What's the problem?" William couldn't find anything else that might pose a problem in making his desired glaive.
Just like Sang was dying to make flying gears, William was dying to try out his new technique using a glaive.
"If it's a problem of materials…" William was in the middle of his words when Sang waved his hand and interrupted him.
"It's a problem of the design itself," Sang bitterly said, "we only got bronze grade glaive blueprint. Any higher design is kept safe in the big academies forging departments and those stingy forging guilds all over the world."
William knew how precious special weapons were, but he never imagined even their blueprints would be this rare.
"If this is the problem, then I can help solve it," William would never let such a chance slip by his hands, "can I get a scroll and a brush please?"
"You…" Ellina's face changed on the spot. She couldn't believe the shocking idea that popped up in her mind when William said his words.
"Do you know glaive blueprints?" and Sang was more direct than her, asking William what he had in mind.
"My master knew how much I admired glaives," William leant again on such a backing, "and so she showed me a blueprint of dark gold glaive before, and I memorised it."
"D… Dark gold… Dark gold glaive… This… This…" This time, Sang couldn't control his shock, stuttering in disbelief while his entire body trembled, "did she show you any designs of other special weapons?"
"I only asked for a glaive," William showed an expression of guilt on his petite face. He knew he had to show off a little to get the best out of this deal. After all, such a glaive would end up in his hands. And he wanted the best grade gears this world could offer.
Besides, he knew how brutal and overbearing his technique was. So, it was better to aim for the highest possible grade from the start.
"No worry," Sang felt how William felt from the latter's face, "it's great fortune for us to learn such a blueprint. Ellina…"
"One moment," Sang didn't need to say anything and she went outside fast. She ran towards one of the test buildings, took the entire scrolls there and the brushes, before returning back.
They left such items there for the disciples to use in the test. But right now, all she thought about was to see such a remarkable gem and didn't give a damn about the test anymore.
"Here," she panted as she ran a distance that'd take her few minutes in less than twenty seconds, "are these enough?"
"Thanks," William received the scrolls, took one out and looked around.
"Use this," there wasn't a single table, desk, or anything he'd use to write on. So Sang took an entire table out, pushing away one of the pots aside with a push from his hand like he never cared about that silver grade pot at all.
William could understand this time why the two acted in such an eager way. Learning a blueprint might be like a spirit master breaking through a realm to a higher one.
If spirit power was the life force of any spirit master, then forging blueprints and techniques were the same for artisans.
William started to write down and draw the way to forge this glaive. He selected one that wasn't that heavy or else he wouldn't be able to move it easily.
At the same time, he selected one that was quite deadly and sharp. His glaive would be a killer, especially if he managed to raise up his spirit power to the silver grade.
To do something he could wield, he changed the materials used in forging it and replaced them with slightly lower in rank and value materials.
That made him pause from time to time, thinking about which materials he should use instead of the ones he decided to replace.
The two masters stood by his side, watching every single move of his with unyielding attention.
They mistook his frown moments to be his struggle to recall missing parts of the blueprint, which was something quite accepted for such a kid.
The more he wrote and drew, the more shocked they became. William didn't hold himself back this time, and used few of the concepts that were only known in the outer world.
To make such a deadly glaive, he had no way but to expose such methods. However, he didn't fully explain things out, leaving room for the forging masters here to show their value.
"This way…"
"Melting ores can be done in such a way?"
"Wow! I never thought before to do anything to the melting pots before throwing the ores inside!"
"Such a hammering method… Such hits… Damn brilliant!"
"Controlling fire to be at a fixed temperature? Never thought about doing that before!"
The two kept exclaiming after William finished writing down his glaive's blueprint. He watched their shock and amazement from the side, smiling nonstop on their childish reactions.
It felt like they were the kids, and he was the grown up here, not the other way around!
"I want to test this right now!" Sang felt very itchy and wanted to throw himself into forging this glaive. Just by reading the blueprint William provided, he already got few ideas.
