Shin is quite happy about the continuous good things that are coming on his way.

Even though he can’t currently request an item from Blacksmith Berlin, he still got something from there. He manage to get a clue on how to upgrade his sword to ‘Obsidian’ rank, but it is only easier to said than done. Because gathering those items are close to impossible for now.

“Tsk! One look at that long list of materials, and I know that this will take some time for me to finish this Quest. Especially with those strange names, I can already guess that I need kill some powerful monsters to get them all.” Shin can’t help himself but to clicked his tounge every time he saw the quest details.

And since he is already here, why not go all the way? He walk towards the weapon shelf to look for a good sword. After few moments of browsing, Shin finally find a good sword of his taste.

Before Shin ask about the sword, Blacksmith Berlin already opened his mouth. “Not a bad sword, isn’t it? Actually, this sword can even put on the list of the best swords on the same grade. You want it? Since you are favored by ‘Our King’, I’ll give you a discount, 15,000 gold coins. How is it?”

Shin is about to say yes on it, but when he heard the price of the sword, he choke on his words and started coughing hardly.

*Cough!* *Cough!*

‘What the!? I only want to look for a sword that I can sacrifice for my ‘Mondi’s Style’ Skill, but it looks like it is going to burn a lot of money. Sure enough, there is no such thing such as free lunch on this world.’ thought Shin before gritting his teeth, and accepting the offer.

And once Shin get his hands on the sword, he steeled himself before sacrificing it to his ‘Mondi’s Style’ legacy skill. Then, that sword turn into particles of light and fused with the swordsheath. And Shin’s 15,000 gold coins disappeared just like that.

Meanwhile, Blacksmith Berlin just watched at the sideline, not a bit cared about what have happened. After all, he have already gotten the payment for the sword.

Shin do some more little chats with Blacksmith Berlin to see if he can get some more information or if he can even get another kind of quest. But unfortunately for him, the blacksmith dwarf didn’t give any anymore. So say his goodbye after.

But before going out the Blacksmith Shop, Shin finally use his enchantment stones to upgrade his equipments.

And it also turned his presence to transformed into some kind of primordial beast.

Then, Shin take a quick look on his Status Window, which gave him some sense of accomplishment.

After that, he open the door of the Blacksmith Shop with a determined face while saying to himself. “OK! Its time to get back in action!”
