1173 A Gut Feeling


    ''…Guess it''s time for me to head out of the battlefield again.''


    Digging into the food he ordered, Valyr had a slightly wry smile on his face as he thought about what happened after forging the two arquebuses back at the cksmith Guild''s main hall.


    Naturally, it went without saying that all of the cksmiths Elder Alvin brought in to learn from his demonstration were left at a loss for words, especially when they saw how fast hepleted his second arquebus.


    As for the two elders, they were eventually able to regain their bearings, giving them the opportunity to ask Valyr a few more questions regarding the forging process on behalf of the other cksmiths.


    Yet, just like the cksmiths themselves, they were also astounded by what Valyr was capable of.


    ''To think that many of them decided to make up their minds on that because of what I showed them,'' thought Valyr to himself, letting out a faint chuckle as he continued savoring every bite of food he took.


    ''A skill that would allow them to conjure extra arms… it''ll be a while before they''d be able to make effective use of those things during the forging process.''


    ''Even more so if they try to make use of it while forging an arquebus.''


    Considering that the second arquebus he forged during the demonstration was a version based off the blueprint he''d contributed to the Imperial Production Guild, the young man felt confident that the cksmiths would be able to make up for lost time because of it.


    ''Then again, it''d probably take a week or so from now for the first batch of arquebuses to arrive at the frontlines with the arquebus I gave them,'' muttered the young man to himself, shrugging his shoulders at the thought.


    ''In any case, I''ve already done what I could to help them out. Surely there''s no way they''d ask me to churn out arquebuses for the frontlines as if I were a one-man factory, right?''


    Letting out a sigh at the thought, Valyr faintly murmured something to himself as he finished a meal.


    "If I didn''t hold back on my forging speed… I''d probably be able to clear a couple missions before focusing on the uing version."


    Though he did tell himself that he nned on tying up some loose ends after meeting up with Julian, the main reason why he headed to the battlefield was to clear some missions and increase his rank.


    Pondering over other things he could do while he was there, the young man eventually recalled Noel''s request of wanting an arquebus of his own.


    Finding out that Noel was at the frontlines thanks to a couple of messages while he was making his way to the military base, the thought eventually grew to what it was today, turning the request into a demonstration for other cksmiths to learn how to forge an arquebus themselves.


    Briefly thinking about the amount of time he could''ve saved if he didn''t limit himself from working at his full speed, as well as the other sets of arms he could''ve conjured with Mystic Energy, Valyr eventually decided not to dwell on it any further.


    "After all, what''s done has been done."


    With that, he made his way out of the restaurant before heading straight to the entrance that was nearest to the Algerie Kingdom.


    Heading to the officers that kept track of who arrived and left the base, the young man did not hesitate to give them a heads-up on his ns of returning to the Algerie Kingdom again.


    Though they found it slightly weird that he was already nning to return to the kingdom after only staying in the battlefield for a few days, the officers eventually epted his request, considering the contributions he''d made to the frontlines thus far.


    Then again, it wouldn''t be wise for them to antagonize someone not only known by many as the Warlord of the East…


    But also as a being that had the ability to kill Myths.


    Swoosh!


    After thanking them for their cooperation, Valyr left the military base before activating both [sh of the Azure Dragon] and [Flight of the Azure Dragon].


    Then, once he began to hover in the air with an azure dragon under his feet, he then proceeded to activate a couple of his usual stat-boosting skills, allowing his agility to reach a level he had yet to use while traveling before.


    With his destination the cksmith Guild back at the Algerie Kingdom, the young man did not hesitate to push the azure dragon under him to its utmost limits, only to zoom through the air at a speed that immediately generated a sonic boom.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    "I''ve definitely exceeded the speed of sound at this point." Having conjured a barrier of energy around his body beforehand, Valyr''s eyes slightly widened in surprise when he heard multiple small explosions go off around him with every passing second.


    Wondering if it was possible to stop these explosions from happening, the young man eventually figured out how to stop them, transforming the shape of the azure dragon beneath him into something that cut through the air more smoothly.


    Because of that, he was able to arrive at the kingdom in less than two hours, which left Julian at a slight loss for words after hearing him mention it.


    Thankfully, the discussion they had on it did notst that long, with the man being reminded that the young man that came to see him was none other than the person Scho''doxa praised as having killed a Myth-level being at Rank 3.


    With that out of the way, Julian eventually asked Valyr what brought him back to the cksmith Guild after leaving for the battlefield, considering that thetter only gave him a heads-up that he''d be returning soon.


    In response, Valyr gave the man a rough exnation of his ns, briefly mentioning the reminder Scho''doxa gave them about the version that woulde in a matter of days.


    "I n to head to a certain ce for a meantime in preparation for these new beings," said Valyr. "I also n to ask for a few materials from the guild before heading there."


    Of course, it was no surprise that Julian was slightly curious as to where he was going, considering that the young man in front of him had never gone to any random ce without a purpose in mind.


    Fortunately, after getting a list of materials from Valyr, he eventually got the answer he was looking for.


    Though… it wasn''t what he was expecting.


    "Daffors Vige," the young man told him in a sinct tone. "I''ll be heading there for the meantime."


    Unsurprisingly, Julian asked Valyr for more information after that, curious as to why he''d head to a vige for the beings Scho''doxa mentioned. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    In his mind, if they were beings protected by the system, then it was more likely for them to appear in farrger settlements such as the cities or the kingdoms.


    However, just like the first response the young man gave him, the second response Valyr gave him was also something he wasn''t expecting.


    "Gut feeling."


    "Gut feeling…?" murmured Julian to himself, only to look at Valyr in slight confusion. "You''re heading to a far away vige… because of a gut feeling?"


    Hearing those words, Valyr could only sh a wry smile, indirectly telling the man with his expression that he didn''t have any reason other than that.


    But of course, the young man indeed have his reasons, considering the knowledge he had from his past life as a yer.


    ''I could''ve chosen any vige out there, seeing as almost every vige would be swarmed by the yers at the start of the game''s release,'' thought Valyr to himself. ''But I''ve got a feeling that Daffors Vige will give me a surprise.''


    Not only was it because Daffors Vige was one of the viges where a few of the most prominent ranked yers would appear…


    It was also the vige where his past self first set foot in Greater Beyond.


    15:52


    "…Well, alright then." Seeing as the young man did not have anything else to say after that, Julian decided to move on from the topic as he sent out a few messages to the guild''s staff regarding the materials he requested.


    Considering his contributions to the cksmith Guild, as well as his contributions to the ongoing war with the orcs, it was no surprise that the logistics of the guild moved faster than ever before to amodate Valyr''s requests.


    In just half an hour, all of the materials Valyr asked for appear at the entrance of Julian''s workshop, with many of the material piles being mundane items that only beginner cksmiths would use for crafting.


    Nevertheless, the sight of it appearing in front of Julian''s workshop did cause the cksmiths in the other workshops to wonder what was going on, briefly asking themselves as to what n their guild leader had in mind.


    Oblivious to the other cksmiths'' thoughts, Valyr stashed all of the piles of materials into his spatial bracelet, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief that his spatial bracelet was able to carry them all.


    ''I''ve definitely lucked out finding this spatial bracelet back in the inheritance,'' thought the young man to himself, slightly chuckling soon after whilst Julian let out a low sigh.


    "To think you''ve gotten all of those items from the guild at no cost," said the man with a wry smile. "I guess you were able toe up with a far better deal with the Imperial Production Guild than I initially thought."


    "In any case, seeing as you''ve already gotten everything you need… go. Have a safe trip."


    Hearing those words, Valyr beamed a bright smile at Julian and thanked him for his help before making his way to the guild''s Teleportation Hall.


    Once there, he quickly got into talks with the staff member manning the teleportation constructs, telling thetter the destination he had in mind.


    "If you could teleport me to Leivard Town, that would be great."


    And with that…


    Whoosh!


    He began his journey to Daffors Vige.
