1118 Discussing the Specifics
Giving himself a bit of time to calm his emotions down after Zuo and You's unnecessary show of force towards him, Valyr soon let out a long exhale as he arrived at the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall.
"Huh." Taking a look at the insides of the hall, the young man immediately stopped in his tracks as he felt as if he'd returned to a familiar place all of a sudden.
Fortunately, it did not take long for him to figure out why, realizing that the mission hall had emulated the style of the Blacksmith Guilds within the various kingdoms to some extent.
"If I were to compare it with an actual branch of the Blacksmith Guild, the one in Danyhris Town would probably be the nearest," muttered Valyr to himself, briefly taking a deep breath after that before delving a bit deeper into it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Compared to the main mission hall situated within the base, the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall was around a third to a half of its size. Not only that, but the number of mission boards it had were far lesser than the main mission hall, amounting to only five.
However, unlike the main mission hall, a considerable portion of the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall's space went towards a series of workshops that lined the entire hall, all of them higher quality compared to the workshops found outside.
With that, Valyr wasn't surprised to hear after a bit of asking around that the workshops within the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall came at a higher cost than the ones outside.
'Then again, they aren't charging a higher price for the workshops for nothing,' thought Valyr to himself, noticing that a considerable portion of the forging hammers he saw in the workshops were Rare grade and above.
Reminding himself that his main purpose in coming to the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall was due to his conversation with Julian, the young man immediately discarded all of the errant thoughts in his mind as he made his way to a vacant counter.
"Welcome to the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall, how may I help you?" Arriving in front of one of the attendants, the young man faintly smiled as he listened to her question.
"I've been told that the Blacksmith Guild has been looking for me," said Valyr in response, causing a look of confusion to appear on the young attendant's face.
Fortunately, the young man was already expecting to get such a reaction. With that, he took out his identification badge from the Blacksmith Guild before giving it to the attendant. "I suppose you could contact someone from the guild, no?"
"And here I thought I'd wait for another week just to see you."
After waiting for around 10 more minutes at the counter, Valyr was eventually told that the person meeting up with him had arrived, prompting the young attendant serving him to lead him to a private room within the hall.
Entering the room, he was then greeted by the sight of a familiar person, causing him to wryly smile as he heard the words that left the man's mouth.
"I apologize," said Valyr in response, his tone that of sincerity. "I was busy improving my rank this past week."
Sitting down on the chair facing the man, the young man took in a deep breath before looking at the former with a faint smile. "In any case, I wasn't expecting you to be the one to meet up with me, Elder Alvin."
"You flatter me, Herald," replied Alvin with a kind smile. "Then again, you aren't wrong. If Elder Merahm wasn't busy, he would've probably been the one meeting up with you right now."
"You also mentioned that back in the recent War Forge Assembly," said Valyr, to which Alvin nodded in response. "Though I'm now slightly curious as to why he's busy, that's not what the two of us came here to discuss about."
"Exactly." Elder Alvin nodded in agreement before grinning.
"Let's talk about the specifics of the two proposals, shall we?"
