Chapter 1097: To Obtain a Core



"An Elder Wyvern Core?" Julian raised his eyebrow as he looked back at Valyr in slight confusion. "Where are you gonna use an item like tha—"

"Oh, right." Fortunately, it did not take much time for him to understand what the young man was planning to do with it, causing him to let out a wry chuckle as he sheepishly smiled. "It's for that armor of yours."

"Now that I think about it, it's been a while since you asked me to grab a Wyvern Core for you," continued Julian as he laughed at the thought. "If I remember correctly, you asked me for the core sometime before the inheritance."

"Yeah." Valyr nodded in response, smiling as he thought about how much he and his armor had already gone through.

Hearing his reply, Julian planned on asking the young man as to why he decided to upgrade his armor, considering how good it already was.

However, before the question could even leave his mouth, the man clamped the thought down as he inwardly shook his head with a smile. "Though I am quite curious to hear why you've decided to upgrade your armor, I'll keep that curiosity to myself."

"Then again, it doesn't really take much to figure out why, considering our current circumstances," said the man with a chuckle before letting out a faint sigh.

"In any case, an Elder Wyvern Core... let me check."

With Julian pulling his screen before him, Valyr watched as the man go through his messages in a slight frenzy, causing his heart to slightly warm up as he thought about the kindness the man had shown him all this time.

At the same time, the man's earlier words made him ponder over why he decided on upgrading his armor, his train of thought eventually matching the thoughts that plagued Julian's mind just earlier.

'To be honest, the True Wyvern Armor set is already more than enough to support me up to when I become a Legend,' thought Valyr to himself. 'In terms of its performance, it's already one of, if not the best sets of armor one could ask for.'

'However, when I compare it to the amount of time it took me to go from the Half Wyvern Armor to what it is now... I do think the armor is a bit overdue for an upgrade.'

From the set of Half Wyvern Armor he'd forged in Clossbay City to the Nascent Wyvern Armor that Braum had witnessed him forge in the Imperial Production Guild, only a month had passed between the two.

On the other hand, it took less than a month for him to go from the Nascent Wyvern Armor to the True Wyvern Armor, mostly due to the fact that he needed to increase his combat prowess as much as possible before entering the inheritance.

Considering the number of the days he'd spent in the inheritance in total, only a couple of months had passed for Valyr since he'd transitioned to the True Wyvern Armor.

If one were to view it from the perspective of someone who'd stayed in Veldanyr all this time, then 10 months had already passed since Valyr transitioned to the True Wyvern Armor.

Though, with all of the various realms he'd gone through with varying time ratios while both in and out of the inheritance, the young man had ultimately spent over two years improving himself to where he was today...

While his armor set had remained stagnant all this time.

'If I looked at it from that perspective, then the armor really is overdue for an upgrade,' inwardly muttered Valyr to himself, only to then shrug his shoulders soon after. 'But if I were forced to come up with an actual reason why I'm upgrading what's already an excellent set of armor...'

'Then wouldn't the need for greater strength in the ongoing war be the best reason?'Thê source of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Unfortunately for him...

Valyr planned on going against Julian's advice from the start.

"The part about how I could add the Elder Wyvern Core as a condition to the proposals is definitely interesting... but why would I do that if I'm more than capable of getting the core through my own effort?" said Valyr with a teasing smile.

"Plus, even if I did need extra Elder Wyvern Cores in the future, I did say back then that one of the conditions the Blacksmith Guild has to agree upon before I share my blueprint is to be

able to request for any material I want."

Hearing those words, Julian went silent for a bit as he processed the information in his mind.

Then, letting out a low sigh, he looked back at the young man with a bitter smile. "So, it would be correct to assume you're planning on completing three sets of forging quotas at

once?"

"I've already done two at the same time before," replied Valyr with a bit of laughter. "What's wrong with adding another one?"

Letting out yet another sigh at the man's response, Julian decided not to think about it any further as he fulfilled his duties as the Blacksmith Guild's Guildmaster.

Ding!

Watching the man in front of him swiftly interact with the system, Valyr soon obtained a notification from his own system in regards to the quest Julian gave him.

Taking a look at its description, the young man nodded after seeing that the rewards were in

line with what he expected.

However, when his eyes fell on the deadline Julian gave him, the young man could not help but inwardly smile. 'He really gave me two weeks to complete three sets of forging quotas.'

'I mean, it's still better than how it was before,' thought Valyr to himself, recalling the back and forth he had with him when he first wanted to do two quotas at once.

'But just like before, he still underestimates my capabilities.'

At that thought, the young man recalled the time he spent back in the Mystic Plane, conjuring

all of those arms with Mystic Energy while keeping [Ephemeral Limbs of the First Blacksmith]

active.

'Then again...' Thinking about the number of arms he would now be able to work with, Valyr began to grin as he made his way towards a private workshop.

'Even I don't know where my capabilities lie now.'
