“The richest person in the world is stingy.” Yerim, who had become more bewitching as the years passed, clung to Youngwoo’s forearm and looked at him with shiny, teary eyes that captured a person’s soul. “Didn’t he come to celebrate Oppa’s birthday? Why did he just leave without giving Oppa a gift?”

“No, I got a great gift.” Youngwoo patted Yerim’s head in a familiar manner. No matter the type of offensive she took toward him, Youngwoo only recognized her as a sister. This was natural as Yerim was Sehee’s best friend after all!

“A great gift?”

When would this person see her as a woman? Yerim sulked when she saw that Youngwoo wasn’t shaken no matter how close she was to him. As she wondered when the seal on her would be released, Youngwoo gave her a meaningful smile and said, “Yes. It is a gift that is too big to be valued.”

He wasn’t exaggerating.

[The blacksmith god is closely related to the class quest of Pagma's Descendant.]

Chairman Lim Cheolho’s hint was more precious than gold. If Grid’s affinity with the blacksmith god fell to -10, he would receive a curse. The thought of this curse made Youngwoo feel uneasy and placed great restrictions on his behavior. However, he could now feel expectant rather than afraid.

‘Will an event occur when I receive the curse?’ Youngwoo’s heart beat faster in anticipation. He wanted to access the game quickly. His family members and friends noticed this.

“Don’t you have an hour and a half left of connection time? We can have the birthday party after that.”

“Sehee...” Youngwoo was touched. Where in the world could you find a sister who would know and give consideration for her brother’s Satisfy access time? He hugged Sehee firmly before heading straight to the capsule.

In the midst of the calm morning forest, a quiet wind blew through the leaves. Mercedes was sitting alone on a large rock. She closed her eyes and recreated the battle with the giant cave cricket in her mind.

‘In conclusion...’

She was convinced that she would’ve been able to withstand the cave cricket’s barrage if she had a sturdy shield. Mercedes judged that a shield would be more efficient than double swords when dealing with enemies stronger than herself.

‘The swordsmanship of my family isn’t that good.’

Mercedes used double swords because her swordsmanship was based on the Vaintz swordsmanship. She had always believed that the sword techniques she learned since childhood were the most suitable for her. However, she realized she was mistaken after becoming a legend. The Vaintz swordsmanship might be useful for killing many enemies but it exposed too many gaps to strong enemies. This was a clear limitation of the Vaintz swordsmanship.

In fact, hadn’t she ultimately relied on the Supreme Swordsmanship during the Astaroth raid?

‘So, there is no reason to be obsessed with the double swords.’

King Grid had known this from the beginning, which was why he had said he would make her armor and a shield.

“...” While Mercedes was thinking about her new armor, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her keen insight pierced deep into the forest, and she could feel the presence of thousands. They couldn’t just be the elves coming back with companions from the village. Some of these presences were clearly human. Moreover…
