Double edged sword

No matter how much Liam tried to justify doing this, the reward was simply just not worth the time and effort he was going to spend.

He was of course going to completely forge the Overlord's sword but there was no way he was returning it just to learn some archaic secret.

Liam didn't underestimate the significance of the quest. 

He knew very well that perhaps the secret was something earthshattering or perhaps might even be something bigger such as linked to what was going on with this game and the apocalypse.

But these sorts of things were simply beyond his current plans. 

He needed strength and power right now. His only concern was survival, survival, and survival. The rest can wait till later.

Though he was thinking about this a lot in his mind, Liam's response was rather spontaneous. 

For the old man's quest, he simply nodded and muttered. "I accept."
