Chapter 198: Literally Priceless Items (2)
Ten seconds after James read this message and stayed where he was, he started to run towards Narbeth's house by using his dark step ability.
After only a minute, James, who had managed to enter the house, asked "Do you mean what you say, old man?" about the message from Hephaestus.
Just ten seconds later, another message appeared in front of him:
[I am deadly serious, I will forge you an armour even more perfect than Lux, the body armour I made from the same Adamant. I will finish it in just one year and I swear to you that I will have that armour blessed by the Titans even if I have to beg them for it].
Reading the sentences in Hephaestus' message, James did not know what to say, he put his hands on the table in front of him and took a deep breath.
"Is what I have really worth that much? I mean, the specs said something about its value, but those specs can sometimes have exaggerated descriptions."
As James uttered these words, a message appeared in front of him, telling him how valuable the thing in his hand was:
[James, I've been alive for millions of years, I'm almost to the billion mark, but so far I've only got a 7% chance of winning a trade, and I've managed to raise it this high by acquiring rare items. I thought the item you won was just a legend, if the blacksmiths in other regions could follow you, you would have received thousands of offers].
Reading this message, James took a deep breath to calm himself down, shook his head and then said, "Alright, I accept, I have no desire to become a blacksmith or anything else, I trust you since you are the best blacksmith I know. I will get that masterpiece from you in 1 year."
However, he touched the Blacksmith's Handbook and started to think about how he could send this book to Hephaestus when suddenly a scroll appeared in front of him.
On the scroll was an agreement that Hephaestus would make a masterpiece item in exchange for the Blacksmith's Handbook.
As soon as James signed the agreement, the Blacksmith's Handbook crumbled into dust and the scroll disappeared in a perfect flash.
James smiled at another opportunity and began to tremble with excitement.
Sophia, who had watched the whole thing over James's shoulder, could not understand what was going on, but she was happy for him, and surprised by his happiness and amazement.
James, however, looked at the features section to examine the "Beginner Level Moon Archery Skill Book", the last of the rewards that had come to him from his talent:
[Beginner Level Moon Archery(Legendary+++++)
It is said that long ago on the moon, an ordinary archer in a now-forgotten kingdom wished to prove himself to the queen, the love of his life. After a long time of training and battles, he succeeded in creating a technique that could hold the beauty of the moon. However, although the love of his life loved him, he was stabbed in the back in battle by his dearest friend.
A now-forgotten creator admired this man's love and wanted to eternalise this technique and trapped it on the edge of space.
This is all that remains of that now-forgotten little archer's love, and perhaps one of the most powerful archery techniques in existence].
James smiled after reading the content of this talent book and opened the book and used it without thinking.
When he looked back at his system profile after all this, he realised that there was nothing he could say anymore. With all this excitement and adrenaline, he sat in the chair behind him and relaxed himself and then thought about how far he had come.

With the battles he had fought and the monsters he had killed recently, he had jumped 9 more levels. Indeed, there was a world of difference between the first time he entered the tower and now.
[You've improved a lot, James, we're proud of you.]
James smiled as he read Nyx's message, though the fact that he had been asleep for so long had probably slowed his rate of progress a little, after all, all the time he could have improved in just 60 days had slipped away.
"I haven't developed sufficiently, my lady. If I want to put the Fallen Gods back in the hole they came out of---no, if I want to kill them, I have to be much stronger than I am now." James said.
[You are doing very well right now, you have to be careful and push yourself slowly. It's hard to say how much more won't hurt you].
James shook his head when he read this message and then said, "But there is nothing to say that more will hurt me."
He was speaking from the bottom of his heart when he said these words, he really knew where he could reach and realised the potential he had.
"We still have 60 days left, I need to train continuously, especially in the sword art I have. Maybe I can look at the Moon Archery I've acquired, but I still need to improve enough, I need to catch up." James said.
[I can't even understand what exactly you're trying to catch up with.] Nyx sent a message, and James, who read this message, said, "Whatever the future is." and fell silent.
