18 # Swamp of Snow Flowers (2)

3.

Most of the stuff you get at the very bottom of the Azrang Cave is not equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to leave it to a skilled craftsman to put it into practice.

Very few artisans can master Class A materials across the entire continent. Moreover, the amount that goes into custom-making is substantial.

But it’s okay.

There’s a scary craftsman hiding in this city.

In the past decade or so, national supply jewellery with a description of its whereabouts has been pouring into black markets around the globe. But they were all forgeries. A forged replica so delicately that it is hard to distinguish from the original. Over time, luxury appraisers learned that a series of counterfeits were born in the hands of a single person, and the faceless craftsman was nicknamed “the sovereign counterfeiter.”

The fact that he is staying in Elano is known to the brains of the surrounding forces at the first quarter, which in the episode was an extremely intense battle to secure this craftsman’s recruit.

The National Assistant has structural analysis (A) and God-given dexterity (S) characteristics, and has mastered most of the production skills, including alchemy, enchantment, weaving, and weaving. It’s called counterfeiting luxury goods, but the use of those amazing skills for counterfeiting is a serious waste of talent to me.

Along with Camelot, a national counterfeiter, is one of the best non-combat talent in the city. I intend to capture him before anyone else and protect him from the horrifying consequences of his original history.

And I will give you the opportunity to do what you have to do.

A few days after confronting Cloeria.

I escorted only one of the Linnians out through the secret door. From now on, if you think about where to go, you should not be followed by anyone on the bay.

We arrived at a shabby shop just outside of Elano, moving so carefully. It was a building that had fallen halfway down, to say the least.

Linia tilts her head and asks.

“Young Master, is there really such a great person in such a shabby shop? ”

“There are people in this world who have different circumstances. ”

After a short talk, I went inside the store.

“Welcome. ”

A grumpy old man’s voice.

I don’t see the basics of being a merchant.

However, if you think about the vast wealth that this inspiration has accumulated, you can blame it. Opening a shop here is more of a hobby.

“Hello. You must be Bailey Mills, the National Guard. ”

“Yes. I’m Vail · · · Wait, what?! ”

The old man panicked and fell off the chair. Because we live in secret because of all kinds of circumstances, it’s natural for us to react like that.

“What are you?! Are you a tracker from the Mills family?! I’m telling you, I have no intention of going back to that place! ”

“Rest assured, he has nothing to do with that wicked family. If you listen to my custom-made quest well, you can rest assured that I will not share your whereabouts with the Mills family. ”

“· · · Of course, you want something from me. ”

The old man who listened to me finally calmed down and asked me.

“· · I have a lot of questions, but let me ask you one question. How did you know I was here? Where did this leak come from? ”

“I can’t tell you the details, but no one knows who you are except me and one of my neighbors. ”

At least at this point.

The old man looked at me sick and asked.

“· · · Can I trust you? ”

“Even if you’re not so vigilant, you don’t cut the belly of a golden goose. Especially if you can monopolize your skills. ”

This means that I will not speak to anyone about the old man, and I want to leave the work to you alone.

Bailey nods, briefly contemplating.

“Hmph, I’d be rusty if I was making silly ornaments. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to get back to the front line. ”

When I encountered the expected reaction, I raised my mouth.

During this time, Bailey was in good shape. In the original article, a few jewellery that he sincerely polished without mastering the soul of the craftsman were leaked out because of a small mistake, which became a clue to the whereabouts of the national counterfeiter.

“But I have one condition to get a job. ”

“What is it?”

“As I left the family, I decided not to make any more forgeries. No such quests will be respectfully accepted. ”

I nod at a firm word.

What I want is not counterfeit art, but more practical magic.

The elders before him were formerly under the command of a Federation aristocratic family called the House of Mills, who exerted considerable influence on the Fed’s pitch. It was all the work of the Mills family to distribute copies that Bailey had made. The important thing is that the manufacturer himself didn’t let the forgery go bad.

“So what do you want me to make you? You brought the right ingredients, right? ”

“Take a look at this. ”

After a slight gesture, Linea, who was next to her, lays her things down on her desk. Up to four Absorption Beads (A), Salamander Hide (A), and Flame Salt Crystal (A +).

“Whew! These ingredients are extraordinary. ”

Bailey sees them and whistles. The structural analysis (A) characteristic gives a glimpse of the value of the objects.

“Split 5 Salamander Hides into Flame-resistant Capes. And I would like to make an object called · · · Shape Paiter (A +) · with attribute absorption beads? ”

“Shape Paiter · · · Do you know about it? ”

Bailey was as surprised as she was when she first discovered her identity to me. He would, too. The existence of a tool called the Shape Paiter or its recipe belonged to the top secret of the Mills family. The main reason I’m here today is to commission the production of it.

“How do you know · · · · · won’t answer the question. Why do you want Shape Patter? Are you trying to launder your identity? ”

“I can’t answer that right now either. ”

The vague answer was that I gave bailey the start-up payment. A few of the gems that were wiped out in Azrang Cave earlier.

“Aren’t they precious jewels? Tastes like polishing. ”

“I’m glad you’re pleased. How long does it take to make more than that? I want it done in at least two months. ”

“Two months? Funny. One week should do it. ”

He declared confidently.

A Mado-era ruin has been discovered in the forest around Elano recently.

Several weeks later, archaeologists searched numerous ancient documents and found that it was a ruin called the Snow Blossom Swamp.

Based on the classification of the ruins made in Archaeology, the estimated Attack difficulty assigned to the Snow Flower swamp is Class 3. Given that the rewards of ancient ruins are generally proportional to the difficulty of attack, the Snow Blossom’s swamp is a hazy grade ruin, even if there is one more artifact than a national supply.

Thus, the interest of large clans, including Karakol, has quickly cooled, but small and small clans in and out of Elano have shown interest in increasing performance.

The Tea Khan clan is also a small clan that has been shown to do so openly.

Kloeria secretly visited the Clan House of Teakan. One of the useful henchmen belongs to Teakan.

In fact, according to the rules established by the Public Church, there is no formal ascension between the clans. But there are convenience laws everywhere in the world. Just as Blissful fell into a trap in the past, Karakol has secured several other clan merit seals through his back work. Tea Khan is also a clan that fell into Karakol’s trap.

Cloeria and other executives have planted several of their handiwork in the Teakan Clan, and those who have moved in this way are responsible for handling the awkward business of naming Karakol.

“It’s been a long time, Cloeria. ”

“It’s been a while, Brenda. ”

A respectful greeting to Cloheria was a blonde woman with fierce eyes. She is an expert in the spelling of flames and is a wizard flying her name all over Elano.

“Brenda. I have a personal errand for you today. ”

“What’s going on? ”

“I heard Teakan is going on a expedition to Snow Blossom Swamp soon?” I need you to join the expedition and take care of a little boy there. ”

Cloheria’s eyes, which she said, were inexhaustible. Brenda nods quietly, looking at her nostrils, still remaining traces of healing magic.

“I see what you mean. ”

“Very well. If this is successful, I will make a place in Karakol. How long are you going to live in a place like this? ”

“ · · ·! ”

Brenda opens her eyes when she hears that. In front of her is Citrio, the clan master of Karakol. It is an excellent line to progress.

“Targets belong to parties that are extremely vulnerable to flame attacks. And · ·”

Brenda was excited to dream of a rosy future for a while. When I heard the details of the matter, she was so overwhelmed.

“Aiden Stroke? You mean we have to deal with the Hand of the Brawler? ”

“You don’t seem too happy about it, do you? ”

“It · · ·”

Cloheria smiles, hesitating over Brenda.

“I understand. Taking care of such a big man is a big risk. If things go wrong in the middle, you’ll be on the Grand Duke’s radar for the rest of your life. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · ”

Brenda swallows a dry drink in a ferocious tale. Her smile deepens as she looks at her.

“You’re quite discreet, aren’t you? Let’s say you pass. ”

“Passed · · · · · ·? ”

“Yes. If I had taken this offer with pleasure, I would have been disappointed in Brenda. Even if you have skills and loyalty, it’s hard to use your side if you’re too hasty. ”

That said, Cloeria gives out a luxuriously packed box. It’s the size of an adult man’s fist.

“Here you go, Brenda. This is proof that I will not use you as a consumable. It’s very precious, but I should return it as soon as I finish the job successfully. ”

Brenda examines the contents of the box.

I am very surprised to be able to cool down immediately.

Inside was one of the five Altus family heirlooms. Something to try and rent Citrio’s daughter, Cloeria.

Prospecting, she trembles with excitement. The risks are significant, but this is an opportunity that will never come again.

“· · I accept that order. ”

“Very well. I trust you, Brenda. ”

Cloheria smiles faintly at Brenda, who lowers her head.

Of all the cleaners in the world, Brenda is the best, despite Karakol’s lack of finesse. Now that you’ve handed over some extraordinary magical items, you’ll never be able to win against Aiden and his coiled dogs.
