Chapter 899 A Long-awaited Reunion

899 A Long-awaited Reunion

Algerie Kingdom, Blacksmith Guild.

As the guild supplying most of the equipment and items people use within the kingdom, it went without saying that the guild housed a lot of private workshops, with a majority of them being leased out to their members for them to use.

However, a small portion of these workshops were owned by high-ranking members of the guild, with one of them being owned by the guild master of the Blacksmith Guild itself.

And surprisingly enough, it was currently being used.

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

If one were to peer inside the guild master's workshop at this moment, one would immediately see Julian hard at work, hammering away at a piece of heated metal to get it into his desired shape.

Focusing all of his attention on the piece of armor he was trying to create, Julian gradually went through the various steps of the forging process, going through the hours of the day in a way where it felt like mere minutes to him.

Then again, as the head of the Blacksmith Guild, it could be said that the man contributed the most to the war efforts, forging high-end equipment that many of the soldiers on the frontlines were currently using.

With that being said, Julian had been holed up in his workshop for either days or weeks at this point, relying on some of the guild staff to bring him food and water at timely intervals.

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

"Just a bit more... and done."

Hearing the ever familiar chime of the system echo in his mind, Julian placed his hammer to the side as he took a brief look at the only window within his workshop.

"Time really passes by so fast," muttered the man to himself as he let out a faint sigh. "I began working on this piece of armor yesterday afternoon, and now it's the afternoon of the next day."

Wryly smiling at the thought, Julian soon returned his focus on the piece of armor he'd just forged and activated his identification skill.

"[Forger's Inquisitive Gaze]."

Ding!

As the screen containing the equipment's description appeared before him, Julian looked through its contents in great detail, causing his eyes to glisten in slight excitement once he was done.

"It's good..." muttered the man to himself with a faint smile, comparing it to the piece of armor he'd forged before his current attempt.

However...

"It's still not enough." Continuing to look at the description of the armor piece he'd forged, the smile on Julian's face turned bitter, still feeling dissatisfied with it as he compared it to an armor piece a certain person had shown him in the past. "Haah..." Letting out a sigh as he decided to take a rest before beginning another attempt, Julian went over his progress on emulating Valyr's armor set ever since the war between the humans and the orcs erupted.

"When will he come back?"

And with all that settled, Julian soon left the Blacksmith Guild, immediately soaring through the skies as he made his towards the defensive gate where the person named Ylvar was located.

...

"Hmm..." Looking at the chat screen he'd brought up, Valyr scratched the back of his head for a bit before closing it. "I've also sent a message just in case it takes longer for the report to arrive..."

"In any case, do you think it'll take long for the guild master of the Blacksmith Guild to arrive here?"

Hearing those words, the soldier in front of Valyr briefly looked at him with a fearful gaze, glancing at the orc he was carrying before responding with a slight stutter. "I've made sure to have it reach the guild master as quickly as possible."

"At most... it'll only take a few minutes or so for the message to reach them," the soldier continued, inwardly lamenting to the heavens as to why he'd attracted the attention of the man before him. "Now then..." Looking at the passage that had been made for them, the man looked back at Valyr with a smile.

10:33

"As for how long it'll take the guild master to get here... that depends on how quick the guild master is."

"Fair enough." Hearing the soldier's words, Valyr nodded in response as he glanced at Zaurog for a bit.

Seeing as he would have to wait for quite some time for Julian to appear, the young man decided to rest by the side for the meantime, briefly mulling over the things he'd done after leaving the inheritance.

After capturing Zaurog as he felt that the orc would serve greater purpose later on, the two made their way back to Algerie Kingdom with the help of Valyr's new movement skills.

Eventually, the two of them arrived at one of the kingdom's defensive gates, putting many of the soldiers at the gates on guard as they noticed the orc Valyr had brought along.

In response, Valyr flared out his aura, causing the soldiers' impressions of the young man to change as they began to cooperate with him after that.

'I wonder what Vaughn and Ryvrthe are talking about right now?' thought Valyr to himself, faintly amused as he took the time dilation between the inheritance and here in mind.

Whoosh!

"I suppose you haven't been waiting for too long?" While the young man was in the midst of going through his other thoughts, a familiar voice soon echoed from slightly afar, causing the young man to smile as he stood up.

"Nine months have already passed in this place while I've been in the inheritance." Valyr chuckled in response, smiling as he looked at the man before him. "Waiting for a bit more wouldn't hurt."

Hearing those words, the middle-aged man let out a bit of laughter, only to look at the soldier that accompanied Valyr before nodding.

Understanding what the nod meant, the soldier immediately sent out a message to the other soldiers stationed at the gate, allowing a passage for both the man and Valyr to go through.

"Now then..." Looking at the passage that had been made for them, the man looked back at Valyr with a smile.

"Shall we take a look at the things the inheritance gave you?"
