Chapter 656 l know what to do!
After the unexpected debacle, Liam completely shut himself inside the forging room. He had a total of five orbs of Earth, three orbs of Fire, three orbs of Water, and one orb of Air.
He also had enough gold coins to buy any recipe and raw materials he pleased and the status of a Forging Grandmaster, along with an Honored reputation.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he could pretty much do anything in the elven lands at the moment. Channeling all of his frustrations, he blew all the gold he had earned and purchased two more recipes that were available.
These were available on the second floor, which he did not have permission to access before. However, now he had the permission and the means to make the purchase.
All the elves who had looked at him in disdain before when he was spending the gold coins fluidly now looked at him with awe and respect.
The entire blacksmith building and the elven city were abuzz with news about the new human being who had arrived and who had managed to forge an Epic ranked weapon.
Even the elven King had extended an invitation to Liam for a formal dinner. However, none of this helped him at the moment, as the main reason why he arrived in the city was still stagnant.
The bastard who was supposed to teach him showed absolutely no interest in Liam.
After 48 hours of continuously forging one weapon after another, Liam managed to produce another three Epic ranked items, one chest guard and two bracelets.
The system this time did not offer any option for auctioning. Instead, he had the option of submitting the repeat quest for 500,000 gold coins and 5000 reputation points.
Liam knew that he could probably get more money if he auctioned these three, but right now he was in a mad frenzy to max out the damned reputation points.
Just how much more did he have to go before that elf agreed to train him? He was determined to see this through!
Liam immediately picked out the materials to forge the next item, but he realized that he had already run out of the different orbs. He needed to farm for them once again.
He let out a sigh before standing up and heading outside to the same grinding spot one more time. The Forest of Echoes was once again covered in blood as the soul minions started to create havoc everywhere.
Experience points were also steadily piling in. Gorak and Gu Donghai killed another stag together as they gnashed their teeth in anger.
They could feel that Liam had once again become stronger. The person who had killed them and was torturing them even after death was happily riding the wave of the game, becoming stronger and stronger.
"Seriously, why are these elves doing nothing to this bastard?"
"Someone grow a pair and kill this monster!" The two souls wallowed in their sad plight.
Liam could clearly sense them bad mouthing him, but he had bigger fish to fry at the moment than deal with these idiots. He did not remain idle this time and participated in the massacre, venting out all of his frustrations.
However, it was still not enough. After farming for some time, he obtained another ten orbs, and he decided to return to the base. He did not want to stay here too long and get caught.
In the middle of the night, he activated [Stealth] and walked out of the forest. He then undid the [Stealth] skill and walked back into the city to the spot where all the teleportation gates were present.
But, just as he was about to take the gate that would bring him back to the blacksmith building, a few elven guards greeted him.
"My Lord, we need your assistance. We saw a few barbarians close to the forest. We tried to ambush them, but they kidnapped some of our men. Please help!"
Liam immediately stopped in his tracks. When he heard about the barbarians, suddenly something clicked inside.
Barbarians! That was right! He had come here all the way from the Gresh Kingdom by dealing with the barbarians. He had also received a quest regarding the same.
Though he did not technically complete the quest, that was already history now and the quest was null and void because of the latest developments, but… what if… the old elf was not recognizing him because he never dealt with the barbarians properly?
Suddenly everything clicked together, and Liam could see why he was repeatedly failing in this endeavor again and again. It had to be because of the barbarians. There was simply no other explanation.
This means that he had to deal with the strange strength they possessed and find out the full secret behind it.
Hmmm… Liam paused for a moment and thought about this. Though the path ahead of him was exceedingly clear now, defeating that raging barbarian was easier said than done.
He was almost at Level 63 at the moment, but he did not have any confidence to face the barbarian one more time. With everything else remaining the same, the outcome would also obviously remain the same.
If he went along with these elves and confronted the enemy, he would be defeated again and would have to run and escape with his life on the line. Nothing was going to change.
No, he could not attempt the quest like this. He needed a trump card. Something that can help him but what could he use that would give him an edge against someone like that, someone that possessed an unbridled strength?
Liam stood still like a statue as his mind spun, thinking about various things. "Bloodlust… rage… this is all I know… what can I use against this?"
The elves standing in front of him stared at him nervously. They seemed rather quiet and patient, waiting for him to respond instead of seeking someone else's help. Two of them even looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Finally, after a few minutes, Liam snapped out of his thoughts. "I know what to do! Let's go!"
