Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 59 - Number One Blacksmith? Who's That?

"How about those Red Hermit Termite's eyes? What kind of weapon or armor can be made from them?" 

Joana frowned a little at George's question. However, a while later, her expression eased as she reasoned that it doesn't matter if he knew anyway.

"Well, it's not really a secret but I prefer if you keep what I am about to say stay within yourself." She stated in all seriousness.

George nodded his head wildly to show his undying loyalty. 

Joana looked at Ban m, and after seeing no particular reaction from him, she just ignored him and proceeded with an explanation. 

"Well, the truth is, aside from weapons and armors, a beast part could also be made into something like an accessory. They may have been made for fancy or to show wealth but most of the time, they are made due to the blacksmith being a hundred percent sure that the produced product will result as one with special effects added to it.

The Red Hermit Termite eyes for example have a passive effect of calming a nervous monster or beast. Although their effect is random, it would also be of great help in battle and it would be such a waste if the blacksmith used it as armor or weapon that could break easily.

And hence, the accessory was made so that it won't be prone to receiving attacks, allowing their lifespan to be longer than weapons and armors which are always swung or receiving damage every battle."

"My Summoned Monster, Hairless Cat, has become strange lately. She's usually lively but lately, she's been shy and nervous around people. And when I consulted it to my Alchemist friend who is also knowledgeable about Monster's diseases and illness, she said that all I need is an item that has the property of calming monsters." 

"And that's when I thought about the Red Hermit Termite's eyes. Supposedly, I only need one and my blacksmith friend will be able to make me a necklace with the Red Hermit Termite eyes as the center ingredient. However, now that I have two, I can offer the other one to my Alchemist friend as she said she has a use for it for this upcoming Beast Tide." 

"Well, the Red Hermit Termites are very rare and I've not even seen it in person yet. I've seen its eyes before though so I was able to recognize it at a glance after Mr. Leon shows it. I really did not expect that I would come upon two Red Hermit Termite's eyes just when I needed it the most." She released an alluring smile towards Ban or Mr. Leon after saying that piece. 

George saw her grateful smile and could not help but gulped a mouthful of saliva from it. Even more so after Joana turned around suddenly, causing her huge chest to shake in the process.

Ban did not take it to mind and only nodded his head after seeing Joana's grateful smile. 

"Well, it seems we have been delayed already, and I'm afraid that Mr. Leon still has something to go after here, so let's go now." Joana frowned at George's obvious action but she ignored it as she always received that kind of look every time. 

She did not linger any longer and proceeded towards the area where she stored the new items she just bought. 

She then went towards a corner and pulled a huge box towards Ban and George. The box is huge and looks heavy but as a real Gold Rank Adventurer, it was nothing for here. 

Of course, even though Ban was not a real Gold Rank Adventurer yet, he could also just pull the box the same way as she did with his unusual strength. 

Joana pulled and opened the box directly before slowly retrieving everything stored inside it for everyone to see. She took and displayed each weapon to a long table one by one.

Sometime later, she already retrieved and displayed all the weapons inside that huge box. George offered to help her but instead of being pleased, she instead gets mad at him, saying that each one of those weapons are pricey items and should not be handled carelessly by someone who was not even an Adventurer. George could only shrink back in one corner, feeling dejected.

Ban also did not bother to help as he thought that it was in Mr. Leon's persona to help others casually. His involvement from the dog and kid incident before was only because they would be delayed even more if the Monster was not calmed down that instant.

  "As what I've promised, please choose one weapon that you preferred Mr. Leon. All of them are made from E-Elite Grade Beast and even though they aren't as precious as the one you have in you, I can assure you that these weapons are one of the best quality you can find in this market. After all, it was made by the number one blacksmith of Eagle City- Rendal." She presented the weapons on the table with all smiles and even acting smug after mentioning the city's number one blacksmith's name. 

However, she was disappointed the next second as she could not see any particular reaction from Mr. Leon. 

Of course, she thought it was understandable as Mr. Leon was after all, also a Gold Rank Adventurer, and he most likely came from another place that also has a fair share of excellent blacksmiths, but her disappointment rocketed to the next level after seeing that George also has no particular reaction and even had the gall to pick his nose while ignoring her. 

She wanted to erupt like a volcano but after recalling that George was after all, not an Adventurer and was just a carriage driver, she decided to let the matter go after releasing a sigh of frustration. 

Anyone would have been shocked the moment they knew that this weapon was made by the number one Blacksmith himself. After all, Rendal was known throughout the city as someone who prides himself on the quality of his work and hence not accepting any ordinary order like rivers. One needs to line up first, either wait for a month or go home with nothing. 

Alas, Joana could only sigh in defeat as she did not think that the first to hear about who made the weapons were these two. One most likely came from a strong background that doesn't have a shortage of excellent Blacksmiths, while the other one was an ignorant person that hadn't heard of the number one Blacksmith's name at all. 

What she did not know was that just like George, Mr. Leon, or Ban also hadn't heard of the city's number one Blacksmith name, in his two years of stay in the city.

Joana closed her eyes and released a sigh to calm her disturbed self. She then beckoned for Mr. Leon or Ban to point at the weapon he fancied. 

Ban swept his eyes amongst the rows of weapons displayed in front of him. He was shocked by the vast variety of weapons displayed in front of him. He did not even expect some of them could be used as weapons as well. The hand fan in the corner was one such example. 

After a while, his gaze finally settled on the weapon at the right side of the table. He did not waste any more time as he pointed that weapon accurately for Joana to see.
