Chapter 1182: Ghiraha Lan

“How can I help you?” the worker behind the counter asked.

Rean took out his badge before replying, “I would like to join the Blacksmith Hall. At the same time, I heard you could join the Blacksmith Guild through the Sacred Land’s Blacksmith Hall, so I would like to join them as well.”

The worker nodded in response. “No problem. What’s your blacksmith level at the moment? Be aware that we will have to test you out, so if you’re lying, there will be a penalty.”

“I’m a Golden Initial-level blacksmith,” Rean answered straight away. He knew very well where he stood.

“Alright.” The worker used Rean’s badge for a moment before giving it back. “You can head to the testing workshop on the right side. There should be two or three elders there responsible for testing the new recruits’ skills. Just forge something in the level you mentioned before passing the equipment to them.”

Rean was quite satisfied with the straightforwardness and quickly headed to the testing workshop. Because there was only one recruitment every one hundred years, there wasn’t much of a reason to keep many elders in this place. In fact, it usually only had a single one. But because of the recruitment, the Sacred Land increased the number to three just in case. It would go back to one a few months later.

“Are you here for the test?” One of the elders there asked Rean as the other two seemed to be occupied with other new recruits.

Rean nodded in response. “Yes, I just joined the Blacksmith Hall. I’m here to take the test as a Golden Initial-level blacksmith.”

Rean pondered over it for a bit before an idea popped into his mind. “Alright, elder. By the way, I’m called Rean. What should I call you, elder?”

“Ghiraha Lan is my name. I’m just a normal elder of the Blacksmith Hall.”

Rean nodded and took out a sword from the Dimensional Realm. This one, however, didn’t have any inscriptions on it. Its only difference was that it was forged with Rean’s Element Gathering power. Of course, it was also much more resistant than weapons at the same level, but it didn’t matter at the moment. “Elder Ghihara, I’m intending to sell my creations to the cultivators of the Sacred Land. Would you be able to tell me how much this is worth?”

Ghihara narrowed his eyes as he took Rean’s sword. It was a Fire Element Gathering sword. “There’s no lack of high-level blacksmiths in our hall. Unless you make them cheaper while keeping it the same level as others, it will be hard to make a quick profit.”

Rean smiled in response. “Or...my forged equipment might have some extra perks that others don’t.”

Ghihara’s interest was piqued when he looked at Rean’s confident expression. “You seem convinced that you have a good product here. Very well, let me give a quick check.”

With that, he poured his Divine Energy inside, preparing to make a few swings while using his Divine Sense and Soul Power to check the sword’s internals. However, his expression quickly changed from that of empathy to that of surprise. Not too long after, it went from surprise to disbelief. “This...”

He looked at Rean like he was seeing a ghost. “Ho-how did you do this? There are no inscriptions at all. Or could it be that I can’t see the inscriptions?”

Rean shook his head and told him, “There are no inscriptions.”
