Chapter 1079: The War Forge Assembly (5)



'...Now I understand.' Listening to the story Ylvar was giving to everyone in the assembly hall, Byron felt that everything finally made sense to him. 'Now I understand why Mystia wanted to help the young man out.'

Back then, Byron merely knew Ylvar for his feat of forging an artifact at the peak of Rank 2 during a forging duel.

Though it wasn't unheard of for someone at that rank to forge an artifact, it was still rare of an occurrence for it to be considered a big deal, especially amongst blacksmiths of the younger generation.

However, as he continued to listen to the words that left the young man's mouth, Byron began to realize that there was more to Ylvar than meets the eye, the part about him forging an artifact merely being the tip of the iceberg.

Omitting the other parts of the journey he'd taken to get his armor to its current state, Ylvar talked about the various stages of the armor in detail, explaining the various materials he'd used and why he'd chosen them instead of other materials.

At the same time, the young man gave the directors a brief idea of the armor's performance at those stages, causing a bit of discussion amongst the directors, most of which were in favor of distributing the armor to those in the frontlines.

Proceeding through the various rarities the armor went through, the more interest Ylvar garnered from the directors, with some even becoming curious as to how the armor would turn out after hearing that the young man had plans to upgrade it soon.

By the time the young man talked about how he was willing to share the blueprints to his armor under certain conditions, Byron felt both grateful and guilty that a talented young man like Ylvar existed.

He was grateful because Ylvar's existence meant that the world of blacksmithing would enter a golden age sooner or later, especially with how innovative the set of armor in terms of its passive skill.

However, he also felt guilty towards Ylvar, considering that his actions weren't really something he needed to do in order for Julian's proposal to be accepted.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

If anything, he felt bad for the young man, considering that he'd put a lot of effort to improve his armor, only for him to share his hard work with others in the end.

However, such thoughts immediately disappeared from their minds as the young man revealed a weapon that immediately caught their interest.

From the shape of the weapon alone, many of the directors were confident that it had something to do with the ranged weapon that had been recently making waves in the frontlines.

Though, little did they know that it was the weapon that served as inspiration for the ranged weapon they knew in the first place.

...

'I haven't even started my proposal, yet I've already got their attention.' Seeing the looks of shock on some of the directors' faces, a faint smile crept up onto Valyr's lips as he firmly grasped the arquebus he brought out.

Giving both Hal and Mystia a heads-up regarding the current state of the meeting, the young man briefly glanced at Julian, who gave him a thumbs-up and a grin in response. Smiling as he nodded back, Valyr immediately began to talk about the arquebus, the gears in his mind turning as he briefly went over what he planned on saying.

"I'm sure all of the directors here have noticed that the weapon I've brought out resembles another weapon you might have already seen," said the young man, to which some of the

directors nodded in response.

Nodding back at them, he continued, "Your suspicions are correct. The weapon I plan on proposing in this assembly does resemble the ranged weapon my friend Vylhalteinn has made popular in the frontlines."

"However, before you think that I've merely improved upon the weapon Vylhalteinn created, let me tell everyone inside this hall that your thoughts are misguided."

"In reality, the weapon Vylhalteinn has been distributing throughout the frontlines so far, the weapon you might have thought came first..."

"That weapon was originally inspired by the weapon you see in front of you."
