"...And done."
Tapping a few more tis on the pauldrons with the Hamr of Beginnings, Valyr eventually nodded in satisfaction after getting a notification from the system that the upgrade was a
success.
Giving the pauldrons back to the man standing behind him, he went ahead and used his identification skill on it, telling the system to also bring up its stats from before the enhancent.

'I've basically doubled the performance of Eivann's equipnt,' inwardly muttered Valyr to himself as he was reminded of all the other pieces of equipnt he'd upgraded before this one.
Once Eivann eventually accepted Valyr's suggestion of having his equipnt be upgraded for free, the two did not take long to arrive at one of the workshops, with Eivann even footing the bill during their stay.
Swiftly familiarizing himself with the layout, as well as the tools that were available in the workshop that was temporarily lent to him, Valyr decided to work as quickly as he could, asking the man to bring all of his equipnt so he could upgrade all of them in one go.
From there, he was given a set of armor and a weapon that could be said to be decent for a Rank 4 class holder, with all of them at Rare grade and at Level 75.
Of course, if one were to take into consideration the fact that Eivann was already nearing the peak of Rank 5, then his current set of equipnt did not match his level at all.
With that, Valyr took out the Hamr of Beginnings from his spatial bracelet before proceeding to enhance all of Eivann's equipnt to match the man's current level.
At the sa ti, he asked him why his equipnt didn't seem up to par to his current level of strength, to which the man replied that he did not have the rit points to ask a blacksmith to do it for him.
"Of course, we're talking about quality upgrades here," Eivann told him. "If it was just the basics, then even 10 to 20 rit points is more than enough to bring my equipnt up to spec."
"But I haven't saved up enough to swap to a better set of equipnt yet," continued the man, only to wryly smile soon after. "Hence, I planned on having a more skilled blacksmith do work on it so I could have it last longer."
Nodding in understanding after that, Valyr then went ahead and refined all of the equipnt to their maximum refinent level, feeling as if the heavens were aiding him during the process.
Then, still feeling like the heavens were helping him out in upgrading Eivann's equipnt, the young man eventually decided to take it one step further and advanced all of it to the 1st
Tier.
Naturally, with all of Eivann's equipnt still at Rare grade, there was a bit of hesitation in advancing its foundation since there was still a decent chance for him to fail and render the equipnt useless.
Fortunately, none of the man's equipnt failed during the advancent process, causing Eivann to beco more and more wide-eyed the more of his equipnt returned to him back in even greater form.
"I... I don't know what to say." Equipping all of the pieces of armor on himself, Eivann imdiately felt a greater surge of strength course through his body, only for it to beco more pronounced the mont he wielded his weapon.
Biting on his lips as he felt a bit emotional, the man took so ti to catch his breath before giving Valyr a look of gratitude. "Thank you."
"No worries." Valyr smiled back, returning the Hamr of Beginnings to his spatial bracelet as he got ready to leave. "I did say it was a token of my gratitude, after all."
"A token of your gratitude, huh?" Hearing those words co out of the young man's mouth, Eivann recalled the conversation they had before coming the workshop, causing a bitter smile to appear on his face.
"You really are a good guy, Ylvar," said the man after so ti as he ca to a decision. "I really don't know how I'd repay you for this... so take it as if I owe you a favor in the future."
Valyr could only let out a chuckle as he joked back," I thought I wouldn't be able to buy your favor with this?"
"That was then, and this is now," replied Eivann as the two of them left the workshop. "Who knew you'd do an amazing job of upgrading my equipnt?"
"Well... blacksmithing is my area of expertise, after all."
After Eivann paid the fees for renting the workshop, which caused Valyr to raise his eyebrow in slight surprise, the two soon returned to the center, with the two parting ways not long
after.
"Thank you once again, Ylvar," said Eivann as he bade farewell to the young man. "I'll try to make it up to you soday."
In response, Valyr smiled as he waved back. "I'm sure you will."
Watching the man gradually disappear from his field of vision, the young man eventually let out a faint sigh as he began to look around.
"Now, what should I do next?"
Considering how early he and the other two left Algerie Kingdom, Valyr briefly look at the sky to see where the sun was, only to realize that there was still a lot of ti left before sunset. Thinking about the advice Eivann gave him earlier, the young man eventually decided to head to the mission hall after catching a quick bite from one of the nearby inns. Recalling the entire upgrading process he did for Eivann's equipnt, Valyr could not help but smile by the ti he was finished with his al.
"I should really get so Refinent Jewels and max out my equipnt," murmured Valyr to himself, rembering that he had a similar thought back in the Blacksmith Guild.
Faintly smiling at the thought, the young man eventually left the restaurant after making a quick ntal note of checking the rit point store when he had the free ti. Heading straight to the main mission hall now that his body was in the best condition it could be, Valyr brought up a chat screen to the side as a pair of people popped up in his mind all of a
sudden.
"I wonder how they're doing?" Thinking about the ti he and the others spent helping each other out back in the inheritance, the young man began to smile once more as he told them that he was now at the frontlines.
Unsurprisingly, with both of them being at the frontlines, Hal and Vera were the first ones to reply back to his ssage, telling him that they were excited to et him at the battlefield.
After a bit more talking, the three of them confird that they'd et up to do a small reunion in the near future, causing the young man to beco a bit excited for what was to
co.
On the other hand, Loreina gave him a warr ssage compared to the two, telling him to stay safe while he was out in the battlefield. After all, she'd seen the young man fight before
in the inheritance.
With a bit of back-and-forth questioning, the young man was eventually able to find out that she was also at the frontlines just like the others.
However, unlike the two, who were basically playing with their lives out in the battlefield, she remained at the rear lines as she utilized her skills as a tailor to the fullest.
Seeing as the three responded to him fairly quickly, Valyr could not help but have a satisfied
smile on his face.
However, the sa could not be said for the last person that also joined them in the
inheritance.
"Faulus..." Muttering the man's na out as he arrived at the entrance to the main mission hall, a hint of concern appeared on Valyr's face as he thought about the conversation they had
back then before parting ways.
Letting out a low sigh as he briefly wondered what the man was doing, Valyr eventually pushed his current train of thought to the side as he finally entered the main mission hall.
Whoosh!
At the very mont he stepped foot into the hall, the young man was imdiately greeted by a sight that reminded him of his past life. Watching a lot of people co and go through the mission hall as they grabbed a mission off the boards from ti to ti, the young man began to recall the days he would look around for easy missions to improve his rank as quickly as possible.
Faintly smiling at the thought, the young man soon made his way to one of the mission boards, only to find out that the mission boards were arranged according to one's rank. Finding the mission board that corresponded to his current rank of novice rcenary, the young man imdiately ca face to face with a board that was about three tis as large as the other mission boards.
Taking in a deep breath after being slightly overwheld by the number of missions that were available for him to choose, Valyr was just about to choose a mission that he felt was
suitable as his first mission...
Only for soone to co up beside him all of a sudden and talk to him in a mocking tone.
"Heh... this is the first ti I've seen your face around these parts." "I'm guessing you haven't taken Juba's combat readiness test yet?"
