Chapter 259: Who is this maniac? Part3

“Would a 2 star blacksmith be able to access higher grade smithing techniques?” Tang Yue curiously asked.

“Yes. Yes. You can borrow scrolls for a week.” He mumbled and no longer paid any attention to her.

Tang Yue rummaged in her storage pouch and took out a few low-grade weapons.

The dwarf waved at her and asked her to come back tomorrow. 

He didn’t even pay attention to the weapons she had taken out.

Having been working at a merchant’s association, what low-grade weapons had the dwarf not seen before.

So he just shoved them off to a side without sparing them another glance.

The association didn’t typically get a lot of individual blacksmith applicants who didn’t belong to any smithy.

So the dwarf only ended up paying attention to it near the end of the day, just before he was about to leave.

He irritatedly picked up the first weapon to inspect and a mere 2 seconds later, the same man subconsciously let out a loud shriek.

“This… This…” He stammered, looking at the weapon in his hand.

He looked at it again and again and even wielded it to get a feeling.

But the man still couldn’t believe the weapon in his hands.

He placed it back carefully again and gulped nervously as he gazed at the ten other similar weapons clattered on the side.

“Is this for real?” He started sweating.

A couple of other association dwarves casually walked past him after finishing their work for the day and this man hurriedly called them over.

Just like him, they were also perplexed after seeing the ten or so low-grade weapons with the special fire attributes.

“Which maniac would spend so much time and resources to bring about these excellent efforts in a bunch of low-grade heavy silver weapons?”

“There is no way a 2-star blacksmith crafted this. This one is definitely cheating.”

“I think so too.” The two dwarves nodded.

“I will just submit it to the old man Hiru for investigation.” 

The dwarf scratched his head in confusion and just passed on the weapons to the higher authorities. This was not his problem.

In a short while, two female dwarves dressed in silver robes carried over a dozen weapons and placed everything carefully in front of an old man.

“Master Hiru, these are the unusual weapons.” The two women bowed humbly and left.

“Mmm.” The old man nodded in response.

He superficially glanced at the weapons without bothering to pick anything up, but still, his soul sense thoroughly analyzed every last detail.

The old man’s obsidian black eyes shone with a mysterious light and slightly widened.

“Perfect balance and perfect composition. Dual element affinity. Extraordinary talent indeed.” He mumbled as he groomed his long beard.

“Hu Hu Hu. Is the contest going to get interesting this time?” The man chuckled.

After a few seconds, he gently clapped his hands and the two female dwarves hurried over again.

“Give this person her 2-star medallion. Inform me when she comes back to take the 3-star test.” He mumbled absentmindedly.

The two dwarves humbly bowed and quickly cleared the area again.

The next day morning when Tang Yue arrived, the same dwarf was again seated near the entrance.

He threw her a complicated look and muttered something under his breath.

Hmmm? Tang Yue didn’t take it to heart and casually greeted him.

“Can I access the library today?” She asked.

“Sure. Here you go.” The dwarf banged a 2 star medallion on the desk in front of him and sneered in contempt.

He was not happy that this blatantly disrespectful cheater got off scot-free and nobody bothered to call her bluff. 

He didn’t understand why the grumpy old man didn’t test her and shame her in public.

If things continued this way, then the quality of their association would not doubt plummet.

But why should he care? He was just a foot soldier. The dwarf snorted in annoyance and stared daggers at Tang Yue.

Unfortunately for him, his unspoken insults and angry glares didn’t get past the snake’s thick skin and she had already walked into the association, headed to the archives.

“Ah… This 2 star medallion lets me access other alchemy and rune crafting techniques too! How wonderful!” Tang Yue nodded contently.

It looked like the dwarves were a lot more liberal in their knowledge sharing compared to the elves.

Even though there was still a hierarchy and a division in the society, one had to acknowledge that this was a step in the right direction.

Obviously, the Crown Prince here was much more talented than that lunatic madman.

Tang Yue chuckled and directly headed to the smithing section.

The dwarf had mentioned that she would be able to borrow three scrolls at a time and that she was obligated to return them by the end of the week.

So Tang Yue perused through the various available materials carefully.

The archive was an enormous wooden shelf with numerous small cabinets and each was labeled with a dozen jade slips inside.

So more than one copy was available for each technique.

Tang Yue did not think much and directly picked three techniques that caught her eye.

One described rune techniques that can be combined with forging. 

One described the Hundred Swings technique that is typically used for high grade materials.

And the last jade slip described an unusual technique, something that allowed the weapon to manifest a poison attribute.

Tang Yue quickly picked the three and walked over to the dwarf at the reception again.

“You don’t have to show it to me.” 

“It is automatically recorded in your medallion as soon as you leave the association.” The dwarf scoffed at her.

“Oh. That’s convenient.” Tang Yue flashed a sweet smile and directly walked out, leaving behind the flabbergasted man.

The dwarf speechlessly looked at her disappearing figure. He didn’t know what infuriated him more.

The way she cheated so nonchalantly or the way she was ignoring his rude remarks!!!
