The bare-chest man stood in front of a blazing forge, as he was filled with sweat which showed the carved muscles on his pale skin even more apparent. He was holding long smith tongs and impassively looking at the piece of so tal within the forge.
The strange thing was, not only was this piece of tal wasn't turned crimson with heat, but it was glowing in dark blue color.
This man was naturally non-other than Jacob.
Jacob suddenly the tongs and pulled the dark blue tal from the blazing forge, and he quenched it into a tal barrel filled with a glossy blue liquid prepared beforehand.
However, upon pacing the heated tal into that blue liquid, there was no smoke at all. On the contrary, the entire blue liquid suddenly stirred before its quantity started to drop, as the full barrel of this blue liquid was now getting lower and lower until nothing was left.
The only thing that was left was the dark blue tal which was now not only glowing but there were faint sky-blue markings on it.
Jacob didn't seem surprised as he moved the tongs and then placed the dark blue tal on the big anvil. He then picked up a black hamr which was actually filled with strange white markings, and right in the center of this hamr was embedded a small white gem.
Without hesitation, he started to smith the dark blue tal, and every ti he hit dark blue tal, the white gem flashed, and so the white marking on the hamr and a small shockwave was created.
However, Jacob's strikes were sowhat special as they did not contain just blunt force but precise control and focus. A different kind of shock wave was created every ti his hamr hit the tal. Even the sound was sowhat different from the other strike.
After smiting the dark blue tal for fifteen minutes, Jacob finally stopped and looked at the long dark blue blade with sky blue patterns, which seed like the marking on the black hamr.
The next mont, a 'T' shape hilt appeared, and the handle was embedded with another small white gem. This was prepared prior before he made the blade.
Without hesitation, he combined the sword hilt with the sword blade, and sothing amazing happened.
'Click…'
The white gemstone suddenly shimred with a clicking sound, and the sky-blue pattern on the blade began to glow brightly. The dark blue marking on the blade started to spread on the hilt at this mont like roots and covered it entirely.
Jacob looked with great anticipation at those markings spreading on the hilt, and the white gemstone was the only place they seed to be avoiding.
At this mont, the white gem suddenly turned cracked, and within a few monts, it turned into white power.
However, the sky-blue marking was now completely engraved on the blade and hilt, creating a strange pattern.
Jacob didn't seem surprised by the white gem's current state, and he flipped his hand before another white gem appeared. He enclosed the gem in the position of the previous white gem, and like a magnet, it instantly clicked on the empty spot.
"End the recording and send it back for final verification." Jacob impassively commanded as the faint white glow on his arm flashed brightly before a projection appeared of an interface.

Jacob thought grimly while looking at his new status in the alchemy guild, 'So after 1-Star Epic Rank, I can't gain access to higher level missions because I'm in rare plains? Didn't this an all the information on Type-2 also can't be accessed?'
Jacob checked the shops, and just as he thought, no type-2 knowledge was released, which could only an his guess was likely right.
Because whenever he achieved a certain threshold, new information would always be released by the White Sage, but now he got nothing but a NOTE telling him to head to the Epic Plains.
At this mont, he also received a new identity badge which was branded with the alchemy guild's sigil, the blazing red fla rising from an eight-legged golden cauldron written under a silver ribbon with golden letters '1-Star Epic Alchemist (Faceless Ancient).'
'At least this badge could be useful within the Epic Plains.' Jacob's expression returned to his usual cold self, 'I finally absorbed everything except Type-1 universal magic manual.
'Now I can finally start preparing for my departure from the Rare Plains. In contrast, there are still eighteen remaining months left before that woman's deadline approaches.
'I can either go with the alchemy guild entourage or AOWL them. I'll decide after acquiring information about the journey toward the Epic Plains. I need to start my manufacturing and end it in one month, and then I'll make a round trip to the freedom plains in six or seven months. Ti is quite short, I guess.'
Jacob thought as eighteen months had passed since he had taken over as the Dark City's Alchemy Guild Leader, and now he was finally an official mber of the Guild.
But he was still far from being done with the rare plains, so without wasting more ti, he started to take out all kinds of gun parts filled with those strange patterns like on the hamr and newly forged Advance Type-1 magic sword!
