Celeane and Barn have different focal directions in their craftsmanship.
This is evident from the nas of their shops.
[Pearl Spinning] and [Rock Hamr].
The forr is a tailor shop, mainly patronized by wealthy rchants, nobles, and senior adventurers from the White Cliff District of Suo Yu Bay, with custom services as its main business;
The latter is a blacksmith shop, offering equipnt ranging from beginner level leather armor for ten gold coins to full body heavy plate armor worth thousands, for anyone in River Valley Town willing to spend on equipnt, with the shop also handling a few customized high-quality equipnt services.
Half-Elves lean towards weaving and sewing, while Half-Dwarves incline towards iron forging.
Although there are professional deviations, both excel in enchanted equipnt manufacturing, allowing so overlap in certain areas.
With extensive manufacturing experience and keen eyesight, they can discern an equipnt’s strengths and weaknesses clearly and accurately.
This is why, despite the [Pulse of Purgatory] being completely destroyed and beyond restoration value,
Celeane could still precisely capture the excellent forging craftsmanship left by another distinguished inland craftsman in Barn’s proud creation from [Rock Hamr].
This caused a montary pause in his gaze and prompted him to inquire about its origins.
When the Half-Elf learned from Xia Nan that the equipnt ca from [Rock Hamr], a knowing expression surfaced on his face.
The two had never t, given their considerable distance apart.
However, in a certain sense, they were already long acquainted with each other, even if only in spirit. Celeane assud Barn must be familiar with [Pearl Spinning] too.
After all, adventurers are fluid.
Particularly for those experienced individuals whose team strength is sufficiently formidable, long-distance travel for tasks is quite normal.
Only newcors who haven’t yet obtained their professional level would remain in the town, circling around those goblin nests.
Even slightly more challenging commissions require delving into the Mist Forest or traveling to other regions.
River Valley Town and Suo Yu Bay, both as adventure hubs with association branches, frequently have high-level professionals shuttling between them.
Under such circumstances, when encountering equipnt damage requiring repair or replacent, the two often receive each other’s equipnt.
Over ti, the characteristics of each other’s craftsmanship beca more apparent.
However...
Celeane’s deep green eyes stared at the [Pulse of Purgatory] on the counter, displaying a particularly complex expression.
The forging techniques used on this damaged armor were extrely complex, with multiple hamring techniques overlapping in so areas.
This is quite rare.
For enchanted equipnt of this level, it’s almost like a cake that’s already nearly completed; a few fruits added at the final layer are sufficient to display.
The material quality reaches a certain point, and when cut open, the taste inside remains unchanged.
Yet this armor, though rely requiring a slight embellishnt with fruits, saw its creator lavishly adding a layer of nuts, mixing strawberries, waterlon, and mango with cream.
Sparing no effort or ti.
Celeane even found so advanced forging techniques that typically appear only in high-level enchanted equipnt in certain corners of the armor.
Due to material limitations, despite all this painstaking effort, the overall defensive strength might only increase by one percent, a completely thankless act.
Frankly speaking, so blacksmiths might not even be this ticulous when crafting equipnt for their children.
"What is your relationship with Barn?"
The light blue face looked sowhat skeptical as the Half Elf’s eyes kept examining the black-haired young man, trying to find a trace of Dwarf blood from his appearance.
"A regular custor, and we also have a good friendship; why do you ask?"
Noticing the oddity in the other’s behavior, Xia Nan replied.
"Sorry, I didn’t an to offend." Realizing that his inquiry might have been abrupt, the Half Elf showed an apologetic expression, "It’s just that the forging craftsmanship on your equipnt... um, is very remarkable."
Hearing this, Xia Nan largely understood the other’s point.
Quite normal.
After all, Barn had ntioned before that his armor’s high scrapping rate had hurt his confidence a bit.
This [Pulse of Purgatory] was his proof piece, barely making any money, and even losing so material costs, solely for his pride as a craftsman.
It proved indeed that the equipnt quality was comndable, enduring challenges against both the Crystal Priest and Shark Beast, achieving a "T0" level performance among the armors Xia Nan had worn.
At least he was very satisfied.
As for Barn...
Anyway, he would soon head back to River Valley Town after the "Moon Tide Banquet" ends in three months, spending about fifty days on the journey.
If Xia Nan doesn’t reveal anything, irrespective of how many armor sets he changes, to the "Half Dwarf" burly as a Bichon Goblin, his painstakingly forged [Pulse of Purgatory] endured for quite so ti.
This should help maintain Barn’s pride.
