19 BlackSmith’s Request
SayaShin and Mizarin logged back into the game later than expected, the group of druids and priests left the Holy Land after collecting more than 3000 flowers harvesting and purchasing some, after that they went to the Druid's Garden. The Priests, in particular, were surprised when the Druids took a set of yet another Orb and transported them within seconds.
"Mizarin, Let's finish the Alchemist quest." SayaShin
"Did you know, the Alchemist doesn't collect the items, he just inspects them... why do you think is that?" Mizarin
"I don't know... you tell me, your from this place." SayaShin
"Hehe... If you sell him some items, you will receive the recognition reward, a growth type cauldron. I heard." Mizarin
While these two are having this conversation, they were slowly heading to the Alchemist in front of the Temple.
"Greetings, Elder. We would wish to submit ourselves and be evaluated in becoming an Alchemist." Mizarin
"Step forward young ones, on to the magic circle and receive judgment."-Soraysya said gesturing for the two to step on the magic circle engraved on the ground.

"Mizarin, What's the use of the Void Beast Sealing Orb and the Time Loop Talisman?"SayaShin
"The Void Beast Sealing Orb is as it says, it is used to seal and Contain A Void Beast... The Talisman is used to Trap the Boss inside a time loop, just like the Skill [Temple of Time], it prevents Beast from entering or leaving. Mixing all three together, using it against the boss, what do we have?" Mizarin
" I don't understand where you're going at." SayaShin
"You can't kill the Boss Miniature Void Beast, That is why everyone always runs away from it. Do you think there is anybody that can contain such an immense amount of void energy in an instant?" Mizarin
"None?"SayaShin
"None! So we seal it into the Temple of Time amplifying it with the talisman, Contain it into the Void Sealing Orb." Mizarin
"Is that the normal way or is that your special way?" SayaShin
"It's my special way, once the boss is sealed it is considered; killed. The Void Beast Sealing Orb can contain it. If used properly, you can have an infinite amount of Void Energy. Usually, players just seal any random Void Beast, some brave souls, allow the Void Beasts to amass Void energy, sealing Void beast from the fourth floor. But for me, it's best used against the Boss since the items are Unique and one time use, other than the Orb."
"Are we going to wait for the others or we make on another group?"SayaShin
"Let's wait for the others, I don't want the information on the Void Vials to become public yet. Besides the next Void Temple is at level 100."Mizarin
"So what's our next step?"SayaShin
"To the BlackSmith, we go!" Mizarin
"Why are you going to the BlackSmith aren't you going to the Tailor or the Woodworker?" SayaShin
"Not yet, we will wait for the others to come. I'm going to the Royal Training Camp to inquire about hatching an Egg. I will leave you there afterward, and look for High-Quality Thread and Cloths." Mizarin
"Okay..." SayaShin
The Two Orb users Teleported to the Royal Training Grounds and headed to the BlackSmiths Workshop.
On their way to the Warriors, Barracks SayaShin stoped in-front of a player store just sitting in the corner of the gate. What made him stop was not the items on the table, but the name of the store, Strange Transformation Skill Book(1/4) for sale.
"Mizarin lets check that store over there first. I need to confirm something." SayaShin said pointing to the secluded store.
"Ohh... Wait, that store's name, I'm sure I have read it somewhere."Mizarin
"Bro. How much are you selling the book for?" SayaShin Said to the store owned garbed in a full set of steel armor, helmet covering the face, and a sword hanging at the waist.
"With just the two of you, I don't think you can purchase it." The Swordsman said.
"Name your price!" SayaShin said with urgency on his voice
"A rescue mission. My friend who has the book is currently being camped out at the BlackSmiths workshop, By at least 6 rangers, 8 Knights, and 4 Guardians... Do you think you can do it, if not... Then thank you..." the Swordsman said with disappointment. The person was hoping that the Druid who massacred the group before would show up once again and take care of the arrogant pricks that are camping his friend.
"SayaShin, What's so important about that Book anyway?" Mizarin
"It's the last piece I need to unseal the Skill Book that I have." SayaShin
"Who is this friend of yours that needs rescuing. describe the facial features or anything that will give him away." Mizarin
"Just the two of you?" Swordsman
"You just need the person extracted from the Workshop right?" Mizarin
"The Workshop itself is a resurrection point so killing would not do anything!" Swordsman
"We just need to get the client out. If you are going to wait, better do it at the town's gate." Mizarin
"The person is the only Shaman inside the Shop." Swordsman
"This person is a full-fledged shaman right, not a trainee shaman?" Mizarin
"Yes!" Swordsman
"What does that give us?"SayaShin
"It's plenty enough... you'll see when we get there... By the way, I've been meaning to ask this... Why can't you transform into a wolf, I never saw you transform since I joined the team?" Mizarin asked as she led SayaShin to the barracks.
"The Wolf Spirit within me was dead, and Anna extracted it from me. The sealed skill book was one of the inheritances I gained from the beast's corpse, along with a spirit crystal and Fur." SayaShin
"Ohh... okay, let's get that skill unsealed and see what it contains." Mizarin
After a few minutes of walking, Mizarin pulled SayaShin to a shop just a few buildings away from the rangers training grounds.inside was a collection of torture pieces of equipment and some skill books.
"Do you sell Egg hatching spells and pet taming Skill book?"Mizarin
"If you are looking to hatch and tame a pet from an Egg, you will also need a contractors seal. The skill will only be usable after you have finished your career selection. Do you still wish to purchase?" Store NPC
"Yes! A set for each of us." Mizarin
"That would cost you a thousand Gold each." Store NPC
"Wahh... it's so expensive."SayaShin
"What do you expect, we're not getting the sub-class so it's a reasonable price... let's go rescuing." Mizarin
Inside the Workshop, SayaShin and Mizarin were having a casual conversation.
"It's so hot in here..." SayaShin observed
"Look at those Elementals, and some Sorcerers too..." Mizarin stated
While having this conversation, A group of players who seemed to be a beginner BlackSmith Approached them.
"What Brings Brother and Sister Oracles here?" A Knight covered in golden armor said
"We are looking for someone." SayaShin
"You don't happen to be looking for a Shaman are you?" Gold Knight Asked.
"Stop bothering everyone with that stupid question... They are here for the Grandmaster BlackSmith... Just a piece of advice, before you enter, make sure you have the materials for the quest. Those people will not let you leave here alive... The Grandmaster is that NPC over there at the back with a bottle of booze." Said a man with the light of white and black hovering over the shoulders.
[Message: Is that the client?-SayaShin]
[Message: Yup! That's the client.-Mizarin ]
The two were, of course, not the first to come to the shop, but they were the first not to announce their purpose.
"Thanks, friend... We're here to take the quest. So if you please let us through, then we'll be on our way."-SayaShin
"Go ahead then, but don't think you can come out of this place if you do any funny business." Golden Knights minion said.
"Sure! Sure! Whatever you say." Mizarin reciprocated the arrogance in their tone.
"I'll go and get the quest," SayaShin said jogging towards the NPC.
"Okay..." Mizarin answered heading towards the Shaman saying: " Thanks for the warning friend. I'm Mizarin, What's yours?" This was roundabout way SayaShin suggested in approaching the target.
"The name is Blissful." The Shaman Said
"Nice to meet you Blissful," Mizarin said winking
[Syestem: A friend request from Mizarin.<Accept><Decline>]
"Accept" Blissful said whispering.
[A friend of yours sent us. Price is the Strange Transformation Skill book. First, I want to know, if that thing came from anyone who's spirit beast died, a Boss drop, or item that can be bought. Our method of extraction depends on your answer.] Mizarin sent, the last phrase was just an empty threat.
[Item was a Rare Boss Drop, I can't tell you where it was obtained.] Blissful replied
[That's good enough. We will leave once my friend finishes his quest. Tell your friend waiting at the front gate; We'll take our time. At least an hour should be enough.] Mizarin posted, to which Blissful immediately sent the message.
[Did they really go there? That book must really be important to them to go there just like that.] The Knight at the front gate replied
[No! They are originally here for the BlackSmiths quest, the book just happened to be a rare drop that they want.] Blissful corrected
[Really? I thought that the book you hold was the last piece they need, it's just that they can't leave carelessly since I told them that the people are camping you out.] Knight informed
Mizarin left the Shaman alone after the brief introductions, to show a hint of gratitude and dispel the suspicions on the eye of the onlookers.
While Mizarin was performing the diversionary attempt, SayaShin headed to the BlackSmith to obtain the quest for the Sub-Class.
"Great master, I have traveled far in the search of you. Will thee allow me to become thees apprentice?" SayaShin said reading the script from the system.
"Oh... Does a young Vates want to become more than what he already is?... Hick." The BlackSmith said in a drunken voice.
"I wish to obtain the knowledge and skill from many masters, and gain insight to develop my own," SayaShin said.
"Very well, prove to me you are worthy of my tutelage!" The smith said.
[System: You have gained the notice of the Great BlackSmith; Brahmin. You can't deny his request.]
[Quest: BlackSmith's Request
-Prove you have the talent for the craft.
Extract Minerals from Mineral Ores (0/10)
Refine Raw Materials for production (0/10)
Produce High-Quality Ingredients (0/10)
Produce High-Quality Ingots(0/10)
Failure will Bar you from ever acquiring the Sub-Class]
To anyone who sees the requirements, it seemed easy at first sight, but the fact that it requires a high-quality assessment, it is the hardest Sub-Class to challenge.
"Are you finished with the chitchat?" Mizarin interrupted
"Ohh... Yes... But aren't this requirements too steep?<Attachment>"SayaShin
"Not that I care, besides were aiming for the best quality if it didn't look for the best than what a joke would it be if just anyone can get that weapon socketing skill?" Mizarin provided
"To that spot then," Sayashin said motioning to the corner table near the secluded Shaman.
Mizarin Cast the Spell [Temple Of Time] enclosing SayaShin inside, casting a second spell [Obscure] to the pavilion.
The onlookers were stunned and boggled with this action that the Oracle took. She did this of course to hide the fact that the materials they had were high energy materials, and the void materials that are currently hot in the market going to waste just for practice.
"Let's begin!" Said Mizarin
"Okay... I've already started." When Mizarin heard SayaShin's confirmation, she equipped her weapons; Light Orb, Grimoire, and Twin Iron Fan. Started casting simultaneous magic circles in the air, and moved from one corner to another striking the continuously appearing enchantments, this was the Grimoire-Kagome Dance.
10 minutes... 20 minutes... 30 minutes... Break... and continue the intense workout of the two, pounding and stomping. Any onlookers would be amazed to see such a sight.
'How could these two be able to have inexhaustible mana?'
'How high is their spell proficiency?'
'Aren't they tired yet, doing the same thing over and over?'
While the spectators were having such thoughts, SayaShin finally received the long-awaited Quest development.
