Chapter 24
[Blacksmith’s Rage]
Difficulty: B
As Pagma’s descendant, you have inherited Pagma’s will as well as his techniques. You have Pagma’s humanitarian ideology of using ‘blacksmithing to benefit other people.’
You can never forgive the Mero Company and its minions, who oppress the old and powerless blacksmith.
Help the blacksmith Khan, who had fallen for the tricks of the Mero Company and lost his customers.
Quest Clear Conditions: Get rid of the Mero Company’s minions and destroy the smithy transfer contract.
Clear Reward: Blacksmith Khan’s alcoholic symptoms will improve. Affinity with Khan will reach the maximum.
* Khan was originally an excellent blacksmith. But after his business was ruined due to the tricks of the Mero Company and he was subjected to severe stress, an alcohol dependency was created. He is currently an incompetent old man, but if he improves from his alcoholism, he will surely regain his status as a great blacksmith. At that time, he will figure out your identity and help you greatly…
Quest Acceptance Reward: The skill ‘Blacksmith’s Rage’ is created.
Quest Failure: A few days later, Khan will die and all quests related to him will be permanently destroyed.
“Eh?”
The blacksmith’s ideology?
“Is this a parody of humanitarianism?”
The motto of the legendary blacksmith Pagma!
“…Is there a hidden class that will appear after eating only garlic for 100 days?”
No, now wasn’t the time to joke around.
“This situation is a quest.”
It was as I expected. A ruined smithy and blacksmith. The sudden appearance of gangsters was the precursor to the beginning of a new quest.
[Would you like to accept the quest?)
There were five enemies. Their level was estimated to be 35 or higher. On the other hand, I was alone and only level 3. I was also unharmed because I left my sword and armor in the warehouse.
Should I refuse the quest? No.
“I accept.”
There was no reason for me to refuse this quest.
Even though I was level 3, my stats made me equivalent to a level 20. I also had the skill ‘Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience.’ It was a tremendous skill that increased my concentration, stamina, and defense to the peak for an hour. But was that all? I had the passive skill that allowed me to become invincible for five seconds if my health was at the minimum.
“In fact, I’m not without a weapon.”
I opened my inventory. I took out one arrow that I had left behind as a souvenir.
[Special Jaffa Arrow]
Rating: Epic
Attack Power: 35~42
An arrow made by a craftsman with great skill and potential but lacking in experience and reputation.
Due to the effect of combining jaffa with steel, it has extremely high penetration and ignores some of the enemy’s defense.
* Has a certain chance of ignoring the enemy’s defense.
Weight: 0.1
Arrows were consumables. But that was only when fired by a bow.
“If I hold it and use it as a dagger, it won’t be a consumable.”
In fact, there were many cases when arrows were retrieved and reused. It was said that most arrows could be reused except when it was too damaged by the target, but I didn’t know because I had no experience shooting the bow.
‘I thought it was strange that arrows were so expensive so I grabbed a passerby. Thanks to that, I realized that arrows weren’t always consumables. Huhut, information was power! I shouldn’t neglect the impact of gathering information in the future.’
I smiled with satisfaction and examined the gangsters closely. They were holding threatening weapons like axes, swords, and maces while wearing leather armor.
‘The heavens are helping me.’
It might be different if they were wearing iron armor. However, I could cause serious damage if I stabbed the leather armor several times with the Jaffa Arrow.
‘This arrow is something I made with my heart. Its value couldn’t be compared with normal arrows. I might have the attack power of a level 20 but I trust this arrow. Due to the option to ignore defense, I will be able to fill up the offensive gap. There is also the countless combat experiences I have accumulated in my days as a warrior.’
My stats that were higher than my level, a suitable weapon, a fraudulent skill and combat senses acquired from past experience. I believed that these four elements were enough to clear the quest.
‘It is a very low possibility.’
Would I willingly accept a quest that was more likely to fail than succeed? It was obvious.
First, there was no penalty if the quest failed. The NPC Khan would die and all quests associated with him permanently destroyed, but it wasn’t something I should be afraid of since I didn’t know what the quests were.
Secondly, I was rewarded just by accepting the quest.
[The quest has been accepted.]
[Due to the quest acceptance, the skill ‘Blacksmith’s Rage’ has been acquired.]
The quest acceptance reward was different from the quest clear reward. It was a skill I received just by accepting the quest. Who would resist such a quest? I immediately opened the skills window to check the new skill.
