Chapter 29: Claude
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Ye Feng forged thirty-five peak stage three weapons at once and sold them in the Auction House, he became a famous stage three Master Blacksmith.
The number of Blacksmiths and the subordinates of the various forces in the city that came to visit him was simply uncountable, they had not stopped visiting him since.
“Master Ye Feng, are you around?”
“I am from the Tiger Head tribe, tomorrow is the birthday of our elder’s son, we would like you to forge a stage three weapon as his birthday present.”
“Master Ye Feng, are you around?” I am from the Heavenly Eagle tribe, our young master would like you to forge a stage three weapon, it has to be the best quality among the best!”
Outside the Blacksmith Shop, people from the various forces came to visit and stood outside, even though the Blacksmith Shop’s door was shut, they showed a respectful attitude, they were not displeased!
Ye Feng had no response towards this, he opened the door and walked out before saying plainly: “Place the deposit and request on the table, that will do.”
Ye Feng pointed at the small table in the Blacksmith Shop as he said that.
On the table, there were bags of gold coins and blueprints that stacked into a pile, there were nearly twenty of them at least.
After finishing his sentence, Ye Feng returned to the Blacksmith Shop.
In the Blacksmith Shop, a number of old Blacksmiths with white hair and beard stared at him impatiently.
Other than these orders, after Ye Feng’s reputation soared, many stage three Blacksmiths in the City of Chaos had come to spar with Ye Feng in terms of forging skill.
Today, the first batch of them came!
Ye Feng did not bother with these people, he continued to forge the weapons on his own.
“Hmph, I want to see if this little brat is really a stage three Master Blacksmith, he better not have bought stage three weapons that others forged and came here to cheat everyone’s money by pretending to be a stage three Master Blacksmith.”
Once an old man said that, he became stunned.
He stared at Ye Feng’s forging technique in a daze, disbelief was written all over his face.
“Oh my heaven, oh Great Deity of Forging, are you his illegitimate son??”
“The most superb forging techniques come from the dwarves, he seems to be using the dwarf race’s methods, but why is his success rate so high? Don’t tell me, his forging techniques are really this incredible?”
Not only him.
The other Blacksmiths had the same thoughts.
Ye Feng did not spar with them, he only made his own weapons alone, but these stage three Blacksmiths understood now.
They had lost!
They could not compare to Ye Feng’s abilities at all!
Soon.
All of these Blacksmiths became lost for words, they opened the door of the Blacksmith Shop and left dejectedly with an expression of shock.
It gradually got darker at night.
After forging the final weapon, Ye Feng was about to shut the door of the Blacksmith Shop when he saw a tiny figure standing outside.
It looked like a dwarf.
Ye Feng looked at the figure while feeling a little strange internally.
Dwarves were publicly recognized as the ones with the greatest forging skills, why would they ask him to forge weapons for them?
Unless, he wants to spar?
The person outside the door stepped forward with a firm expression, he lowered his head at Ye Feng and said: “Teacher, please take me in as your disciple, my name is Claude.”
Regarding the dwarf race, Ye Feng had a good impression of them, after all, he was the disciple that Nyzo had put in effort to teach.
“Aren’t dwarves the most proficient ones at forging? Why are you coming here to learn from me?”
Ye Feng slowly asked his question.
Claude had a bitter expression as he said.
“My forging skills are poor, I come from the Divine Forging tribe, there is a tradition in our tribe, those without forging talents are all trash, they will be exiled from the tribe once they reach the age of maturity.”
After Claude explained this, Ye Feng understood the reason.
But he was still someone else’s disciple, he would not stay in this City of Chaos for long, how could he take in a disciple now?
Ye Feng rejected Claude and shut the Blacksmith Shop’s door.
Cold winds blew outside the shop.
After Ye Feng cleaned up the shop, it was already late at night.
At this moment, he recalled that the deposit of those people who placed their orders was still on the small table outside.
Ye Feng pushed the door open but saw a small figure standing there, shivering in the cold but refusing to leave.
It had been four to five hours!
This dwarf Claude had not left, he had endured the cold winds for almost an entire night.
“Please take me in as your disciple!”
Claude was shivering intensely, his face was turning purple from the cold, once Ye Feng appeared, he knelt down excitedly, his eyes were full of desire towards forging.
This young dwarf wanted to become a Blacksmith!
Ye Feng looked at the deposit scattered on the table.
He realized that he needed an assistant after all.
Furthermore, Claude really resembled him, back then, he was also useless but Nyzo did not look down on him, that led to his achievements today.
At this moment, Ye Feng could actually see a shadow of himself in Claude.
“Come with me, I need an assistant to run errands for me. Tonight, you can clean up a storage room in the Blacksmith Shop and stay in it.”
“From now on, you are going to be busy.”
Like this, Ye Feng took in Claude as his follower.
After taking in Claude, Ye Feng started to teach him forging techniques! These were his understanding towards forging, they were incredibly precious knowledge.
However, Ye Feng soon found out how poor Claude’s talent truly was!
“A dwarf with such horrible talent in blacksmithing...”
Ye Feng sighed.
Time continued to pass.
Seven to eight days had passed since Ye Feng took in Claude.
During this period of time, Claude worked very hard, he did everything that an assistant had to do.
On the ninth night.
Ye Feng recalled that there were still some scrap materials in the forging furnace that were not cleared yet, so he went there thinking of removing those scraps.
But he found that Claude was using those scrap materials to practice his forging techniques, there was a book in his hand as he patiently and carefully read.
It was his notebook!
Several days passed again, Ye Feng observed closely and found that Claude was putting in his full effort into his job in the Blacksmith Shop.
Be it running errands, rearranging materials, cleaning up, or even wiping the walls of the forging furnace, he did a great job!
This was an incredible experience for Ye Feng, he had more time to forge weapons and raise his skill level.
At the same time, other than the time he spent cleaning, Claude studied hard even in his dreams, when Ye Feng made weapons, Claude would watch at the side and write down notes.
“Heaven will never let down hard-working people!”
This was true for Ye Feng.
It would also hold true for Claude.
At this moment, seeing this sincere young dwarf with poor talent but strong determination to become a Blacksmith, for the first time, Ye Feng gained the desire to nurture him!
