"Thanks master," William received back his spirit crystals, stored them inside his ring, before walking inside.
As he walked in there, a couple of the disciples standing here retreated and walked away from the Forging departnt.
They got great news to deliver and felt that delivering such news was much more important than taking the test.
William didn't know that a little storm was coming his way right now.
As he followed the direction that master pointed towards, William noticed the slight difference inside the Forging departnt than last ti he was in here.
Last ti he ca here, the place was filled with forging noises. But right now, the entire place looked eerie quiet, and all the buildings around had labels on them, with random numbers. He saw fifty, twenty-three, and forty-one through his walk. The deeper he went, the more random numbers he saw.
"Who the hell arranged things here in such a ssy way?" After walking inside for ten minutes, he couldn't help but express his puzzlent from such a random arrangent of numbers.
"It was ," and just as he said these words, a sharp tone ca from one side, startling and stopping him in his tracks.
He turned and saw Ellina walking out from inside a building. That master told him she was inside test building number twelve. And yet she ca out from a building with a number of five."
"I was looking for you," William smiled, one that held more greedy intentions than happiness to et her.
"Don't try to change the subject," she stopped a few tres away, crossed her arms, "are you not satisfied with my arrangent of disciples on the various tests?"
"It's… Too random!" William couldn't find any other word to describe his puzzlent but this one.
No matter how he thought about it, the numbers arranged here didn't follow any logic or pattern.
"That's to prevent cheating!" she exclaid in defence, not moving her eyes off him, "you changed!"
"In a good or bad way?"
"You are speaking to more daringly than before," she raised one eyebrow before adding, "last ti you kept telling senior this, master that… And now you are just speaking directly to ."
"Aren't we friends?"
"We didn't et except for once, and that wasn't too long ago!"
"Destined friends don't need a long ti to be considered friends," William looked around, "can we talk here or what?"
"About what?" Ellina's face showed how much she was annoyed, "you promised to give blueprints from your master after your return. And you ca back, went to the Long clan, and had lots of fun there."
"And here I am," William spread his arms, "will we talk here?"
"Follow ," despite showing such annoyance on her face, she moved away, leading him towards the deeper parts of this place.
She was indeed excited! Just the few things William showed her before inspired many masters with great ideas. So, she placed high importance on what William brought with him this ti.
When she heard he went to fight with the Long clan against the scary monster tide, she got scared! She thought he'd end up throwing his life and she'd lost the promised great manuals.
However, when she heard the story about what happened there, she couldn't help but get inwardly shocked. The old patriarch of the Long clan shared what William did back there at the forging region of the clan with the Forging headmaster, ending up adding new light to their limited forging world.
The forging masters here couldn't help but see William as a walking treasure trove. Every single ti he did anything related to forging, they'd discover new things, techniques and tricks they never knew they even existed!
She didn't lead him anywhere else but towards the place of her boss. She didn't even inform him about William's presence, and yet that old man was already standing in front of his mansion, waiting for the two with a clear excited look on his face.
"Master Sang," even if Ellina was a forming master, she would still address Sang as master. It wasn't just a title out of the position difference between the two, but that Sang was indeed an admirable figure in the world of forging.
"You must be William," Sang ignored Ellina totally, and instead laughed as he gestured for William to enter, "let's talk inside. I heard tons of stories about you and wanted to et you a long ti ago."
"Thanks headmaster," William gave Ellina a silent side glance before following Sang inside his mansion.
And it was truly a place that belonged to a genius forging spirit master!
There wasn't a single table or chairs inside, and the entire place had its walls demolished, turning the entire place into a giant and open working place.
William saw a bed lying on one side, while the entire place was filled with pots, stoves, hamrs, anvils, wood, different materials, and the scent of sothing burning was thick in the air.
William couldn't believe this was the place of the forging headmaster. Shouldn't he live in so neat place? A place that could be called a ho?
William looked around and couldn't even see a single piece of furniture aside from that bed. The entire place was suited to be called a big forging place, not a residence for a headmaster or any spirit master at all!
"Sorry about that," Sang felt the weird gazes of William, and couldn't help but laugh before adding, "once I learnt about the new techniques and ways of forging you used, I didn't stop training and testing things out… However…"
His face slightly changed, turned to look towards one spot. William could see a large pile of failed products, gathered up in one place near the wall.
William couldn't tell what Sang wanted to do here. There were spears, swords, shields, and even helts. All were black in colour, with parts falling off, leaving holes in the end product.
"I wanted to replicate the way to control your knives in all these, but failed," Sang didn't hide his intentions from William.
