Chapter 1173 A Gut Feeling

1173 A Gut Feeling

'...Guess it's time for me to head out of the battlefield again.'

Digging into the food he ordered, Valyr had a slightly wry smile on his face as he thought about what happened after forging the two arquebuses back at the Blacksmith Guild's main hall.

Naturally, it went without saying that all of the blacksmiths Elder Alvin brought in to learn from his demonstration were left at a loss for words, especially when they saw how fast he completed his second arquebus.

As for the two elders, they were eventually able to regain their bearings, giving them the opportunity to ask Valyr a few more questions regarding the forging process on behalf of the other blacksmiths.

Yet, just like the blacksmiths themselves, they were also astounded by what Valyr was capable of.

'To think that many of them decided to make up their minds on that because of what I showed them,' thought Valyr to himself, letting out a faint chuckle as he continued savoring every bite of food he took.

'A skill that would allow them to conjure extra arms... it'll be a while before they'd be able to make effective use of those things during the forging process.'

'Even more so if they try to make use of it while forging an arquebus.'

Considering that the second arquebus he forged during the demonstration was a version based off the blueprint he'd contributed to the Imperial Production Guild, the young man felt confident that the blacksmiths would be able to make up for lost time because of it.

'Then again, it'd probably take a week or so from now for the first batch of arquebuses to arrive at the frontlines with the arquebus I gave them,' muttered the young man to himself, shrugging his shoulders at the thought.

'In any case, I've already done what I could to help them out. Surely there's no way they'd ask me to churn out arquebuses for the frontlines as if I were a one-man factory, right?'

Letting out a sigh at the thought, Valyr faintly murmured something to himself as he finished a meal.

"If I didn't hold back on my forging speed... I'd probably be able to clear a couple missions before focusing on the upcoming version."

Though he did tell himself that he planned on tying up some loose ends after meeting up with Julian, the main reason why he headed to the battlefield was to clear some missions and increase his rank.

Pondering over other things he could do while he was there, the young man eventually recalled Noel's request of wanting an arquebus of his own.

Finding out that Noel was at the frontlines thanks to a couple of messages while he was making his way to the military base, the thought eventually grew to what it was today, turning the request into a demonstration for other blacksmiths to learn how to forge an arquebus themselves.

Briefly thinking about the amount of time he could've saved if he didn't limit himself from working at his full speed, as well as the other sets of arms he could've conjured with Mystic Energy, Valyr eventually decided not to dwell on it any further.

"After all, what's done has been done."

With that, he made his way out of the restaurant before heading straight to the entrance that was nearest to the Algerie Kingdom.

Heading to the officers that kept track of who arrived and left the base, the young man did not hesitate to give them a heads-up on his plans of returning to the Algerie Kingdom again.

Though they found it slightly weird that he was already planning to return to the kingdom after only staying in the battlefield for a few days, the officers eventually accepted his request, considering the contributions he'd made to the frontlines thus far.

Hearing those words, Valyr could only flash a wry smile, indirectly telling the man with his expression that he didn't have any reason other than that.

But of course, the young man indeed have his reasons, considering the knowledge he had from his past life as a player.

'I could've chosen any village out there, seeing as almost every village would be swarmed by the players at the start of the game's release,' thought Valyr to himself. 'But I've got a feeling that Daffors Village will give me a surprise.'

Not only was it because Daffors Village was one of the villages where a few of the most prominent ranked players would appear...

It was also the village where his past self first set foot in Greater Beyond.

"...Well, alright then." Seeing as the young man did not have anything else to say after that, Julian decided to move on from the topic as he sent out a few messages to the guild's staff regarding the materials he requested.

Considering his contributions to the Blacksmith Guild, as well as his contributions to the ongoing war with the orcs, it was no surprise that the logistics of the guild moved faster than ever before to accommodate Valyr's requests.

In just half an hour, all of the materials Valyr asked for appear at the entrance of Julian's workshop, with many of the material piles being mundane items that only beginner blacksmiths would use for crafting.

Nevertheless, the sight of it appearing in front of Julian's workshop did cause the blacksmiths in the other workshops to wonder what was going on, briefly asking themselves as to what plan their guild leader had in mind.

Oblivious to the other blacksmiths' thoughts, Valyr stashed all of the piles of materials into his spatial bracelet, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief that his spatial bracelet was able to carry them all.

'I've definitely lucked out finding this spatial bracelet back in the inheritance,' thought the young man to himself, slightly chuckling soon after whilst Julian let out a low sigh.

"To think you've gotten all of those items from the guild at no cost," said the man with a wry smile. "I guess you were able to come up with a far better deal with the Imperial Production Guild than I initially thought."

"In any case, seeing as you've already gotten everything you need... go. Have a safe trip."

Hearing those words, Valyr beamed a bright smile at Julian and thanked him for his help before making his way to the guild's Teleportation Hall.

Once there, he quickly got into talks with the staff member manning the teleportation constructs, telling the latter the destination he had in mind.

"If you could teleport me to Leivard Town, that would be great."

And with that...

Whoosh!

He began his journey to Daffors Village.
