"You wouldn't mind if I said I wanted to take this person, right/" Valefor asked shortly after. "Not at all, Your Excellency," Astarte shook her head with an ugly expression before saying, "He is not anyone important. If Your Excellency is interested in this kind of person, you can feel free to take him away."
Astarte couldn't be happier to get rid of the unsightly Dark Dwarf.
Although the Redsong Territory was heavily focused on the pleasure business, its standards were no longer the sa as they were in the past. They no longer cater their services to just any client.
Even if their clients weren't wealthy, they had to possess a certain level of decorum and understand etiquette.
This required to turn the pleasure business into a higher-end service.
After all, the divine weapon business was very profitable and offered complintary pleasure services with every purchase. Its clients were all wealthy beings with certain levels of status and power.
Astarte didn't want her potential custors to see their complintary pleasure services as cheap benefits. She wanted them to be regarded as luxury privileges.
Strict standards were needed to raise the value of their services.
As such, Astarte did not wish to see a black sheep like Team Leader Rudrec infecting the divine weapon-refining business with his vulgarity. It would seriously affect their reputation and value if everyone heeded his twisted logic.
"Are you sure you don't want to keep him? He seems to be talented."
"It doesn't matter; we don't lack this kind of talent, Your Excellency."
Team Leader Rudrec was just a weapon designer, and the only important thing about a weapon design was its appeal to potential buyers. It didn't necessarily improve the properties and power of the divine weapon.
As such, weapon designers weren't very important; weapon quality was more important than weapon aesthetics.
"I see," Valefor calmly nodded.
He made sure to rember Team Leader Rudrec's appearance for later. Regardless of the Dark Dwarf's quirks, such a talented person should be recruited.
Nevertheless, Valefor wasn't in such a hurry to poach dwarven artisans.
He followed Astarte as she guided him through the forge district. He witnessed the
production of various divine weapons in the making.
Whether it was the choice of fire, material, anvil, hamring strength, or technique, everything was ticulously selected depending on the type of divine weapon in creation. Nevertheless, Valefor was impressed by the Redsong Territory's resources.
There were thousands of furnaces and hundreds of different flas. Moreover, they weren't weak flas either.
Most of the flas in Redsong Territory's possession were at least Transcendent rank flas. Only a dozen flas were at the Divine rank. Even so, they were only the weakest of the Divine-rank flas.
That said, the Divine-rank flas weren't always useful; Transcendent-rank flas could sotis be more useful depending on the processing material.
In the dwarven language, they call it 'tal chooses its fire.'
Depending on the right combination of flas and tals, a stronger processed material could be obtained.
The strength of a material was just limited to its sturdiness or sharpness.
The material's special abilities, elental affinity, and magic conductivity were also taken into consideration-if they had any.
The final grade of the material was only determined after all its properties were asured. What made the Redsong Territory's divine weapons so special was naturally their impressive power. They don't maximize their users' existing potential. Instead, they empower them.
A Rank 1 mortal could wield the power of a Transcendent when equipped with a Rank 5 Divine Weapon. Even if the energy inside the divine weapon could be exhausted, such a feat was still undoubtedly impressive.
A weak army of mortals could suddenly beco a strong army of experts as long as there were enough high-quality divine weapons to equip all its soldiers.
Valefor knew the most powerful and complicated divine weapons were those with weapon cultivation skills and techniques sealed inside them.
Such divine weapons didn't require the user to learn and practice the weapon cultivation skills and techniques. They only needed to wield the divine weapons to understand how to use them imdiately.
Nevertheless, no matter how powerful divine weapons were, they still had one serious restriction.
No matter how incompetent their wielders were, their wielders' bodies had to be strong enough to withstand the burden of drawing in their powers.
Otherwise, the wielders' bodies would only be destroyed, causing internal injuries in light cases and permanent disabilities or even death in severe cases.
Valefor didn't believe Astarte herself could have created such a miraculous divine weapon refining technique. He was more inclined to think she had stumbled upon it from so inheritance site or tomb.
After Astarte finished giving Valefor a tour, she took out a black manual and handed it over to him.
The black manual had been worn and torn over a long passage of ti; it was a clear indicator of its old age.
Although it also possessed a breath of ancientness, it was nowhere close to the primordial era; it was only a little more than ten million years old.
Surprisingly, it didn't have any impressive na; Divine Weapon Refining Art was simply written on the front cover.
Valefor also found out that the Divine Weapon Refining Art belonged to soone called Divine Artificer Master Arakkeas.
Moreover, this Divine Artificer Master Arakkeas seed to have only been an Outer Disciple of a place called the Divine Weapon Refining Sect.
"This Divine Weapon Refining Art is sothing I found by chance in the outermost region of the Great Divider Void," Astarte explained after noticing Valefor's interest.
"If Your Excellency is interested, you can visit that place to try your luck. However, most of the treasures lying in that place have already been scavenged by others."
"It'll be difficult to find anymore," Astarte comnted.
The region of junk in the Great Divider Void was a place she frequented to collect raw
materials for her Redsong Territory's weapon refining business.
It was hard to say she didn't hold any hopes of finding treasures.
However, the Divine Weapon Refining Art was the only ti she had found sothing more valuable than the broken junk she usually gathered.
Even so, it was enough for her to win over the Dark Dwarf Clan and turn her weapon-refining business into the prominent divine weapon-refining business.
