There were many eyes on the young cksmith with cloth over his eyes even after Mordant had returned to the stares. He was seemingly stunned that he had won such an honor through thispetition. Yet, it made sense. He was exactly what Mordant had been searching for. A new cksmith toe to his vige that could make darkness affinity equipment better than his current cksmiths.
There was also the fact that the boy would be able to teach his cksmiths about how to spirit forge with darkness elemental spirits. It would also be good because the young cksmith would learn the newest runes while in Genesis training. It was the best possible oue for Mordant''s vige instead of leaving dragonkin cksmiths there long term.
"You couldn''t help yourself. You didn''t even give him an option." Ignus tried to reprimand Mordant for rushing out. However, it just caused Mordant tough at him slightly.
"He is definitely suited to the talent you were looking for. I never thought that a blind cksmith would be able to do something so amazing." There were truly impressive skills behind what the young cksmith had done. Walker couldn''t deny it, it was also the reason the crowd had cheered so much upon the announcement going out.
"That champion and Friend of yours seems to be finishing." Ignus was interested to see how the shield and swordbination came out. He was looking right at Walker so that he could hear the appraisal.
''Striking defender
+10atk, +10def, +8mdef, 20 mana storage
This is an extremely unique weapon that is not often made for warriors. Those that can use it will be able to defend and attack while only carrying the one weapon on their arm. The shield is the sheath for the sword and bnces the darkness elemental mana within it. The shield holds light elemental mana which can be used to help heal the user inbat. This is a unique spirit dwelling weapon that can allow both a light and a dark elemental spirit to dwell within, hence the name; Striking defender.''
"That will be winning an award for certain. Those three over there attempted the same thing and failed." Ignus was harshly judging those who had been trying to create dual affinity items. He watched them force the mana along instead of bncing it causing their items to shatter or decay.
"I agree, I think he will have his own unique tool sets. But what I think is cooler, is that." Walker pointed out the word working twins who were stepping away from their nowpleted wooden bat style golem. The runes covering were glowing with mana as it started to move.
"Out of just wood. A weak material but a strong creation." Mordant was overall very impressed by the twins.
"I wouldn''t say it''s weak. They used cliff birch. It grows only on sheer cliffs that not many can reach. It is very hard to deal with once it has the right amount of earth elemental mana within it. But what makes it even tougher, is the fact that in the winter it cools itself and freezes its roots in to the stone so that it breaks the stone. That way it can grow more when the weather warms." Walker had sneakily apprised the materials being used. He knew just how hard it was to work with the cliff birch.
"You''re saying that it will be able to stand against some of those metal golems there?" Iguns wasn''t sure if he had heard Walker correctly. Such a thing sounded impossible.<sub> </sub>
"That and because of the light weight, it can do that." Walker watched the bat golem jump in to the air and begin to fly fluidly. It was going against all expectations of a wood golem and a golem in general. The crowd mirrored the amazement with shouts of encouragement.
"You have seen it clearly. We have the twin carpentry geniuses with their wood work golem. It meets all criteria to receive the elemental wood working tools created by the best cksmith wandering the world!" The king of the deep caves watched the wandering cksmith walk over and hand over two sets of tools.
"They have the water and the earth affinity tool sets for wood working. It seems to be a poor reward until one considers the things they will be able to make with such high quality tools." Onyx pondered just how much more advanced the twins would get in the future of their careers.
"The crafting guild''s number one busy body is here too!" The joke that the king of the deep caves made was enough to make all the crafting guild members that Rodney had metugh and shout encouragement.
"Those who have been around since the starting ideas of the crafting guild have met this young man. Rodney had studied everything and met everyone. He is sure to be the future guild master of the crafting guild. His dual elemental named weapon, the striking defender, is one of a kind. Darkness elemental sword and light elemental shield. It was created using dragon mes and true spirit forging. It even has two elemental spirits that wish to remain with their creation. Please look forward to the one they will choose from the battlepetitions as their partner!"
Rodney smiled while holding up his hands. Midnight was matching him by raising her head as high as she could. The two knew exactly what they had been doing while also offering a magnificent reward. "You know, when I first met him he was stuck on a crafting quest. He made my little sister''s sewing needles from dragon scale scraps. They are what sew those runes you two liked." Walker smiled thinking back fondly. He wasn''t at all concerned that Ignus and Mordant had taken an interest in Rodney as a cksmith. They could fight everyone else for his attention.
