MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith
chapter-493

"..." At those words, Valyr decided to stop what he was doing, placing the Hammer of Beginnings to the side as he looked at the man before him with a solemn expression. "How did you even get your hands on that kind of information?"

"I'm a guild master," said Julian in response, letting out a faint chuckle. "I should be able to find out at least that much through my information networks."

"Anyways, do you want to know or not? After all, this information wouldn't only be useful during the tournament tomorrow, but it'll also be helpful once the four of you enter the inheritance... if you know what I mean." Looking at Valyr with a slightly raised eyebrow, Julian eventually smiled once he saw the young man eventually nod in response.

"Alright." Nodding back at Valyr, Julian went ahead and grabbed a crate within the workshop to use as a makeshift chair, sitting in front of the young man as he opened his mouth. "Before we begin, I'm sure you already know that the three other people that'll be joining you in the inheritance are incredibly talented in their own right."

"After all, they wouldn't have gotten the chance to enter the inheritance in the first place if not for their monstrously high levels of talent," he continued, to which Valyr nodded in agreement. "Naturally, as you have monstrously high talent as well, evident from the fact that you forged an Artifact, as well as the fact that you have a Mythic blacksmith class, you've earned that right as well."

"The first person that I'll be mentioning is the alchemist within your group," said Julian soon after, prompting Valyr to commit everything the man was going to say to memory. "His name is Faulus Erlenmeyer, considered a prodigy and a future pillar of the Alchemist Guild at the young age of 20 years."

"As he boasts the class True Prodigious Alchemist, his style of concocting potions is similar to what is generally known by other alchemists, yet there are some parts of it that are uniquely his." At these words, Julian looked at Valyr.

"It's kind of like you with your True Prodigious Blacksmith class. You've mostly stuck to the norm, but there are some parts during your process where you've adapted your own thing and improved upon it to do the same thing, but just better," he said, causing Valyr to faintly smile.

"Anyways, thanks to his talent in the path of alchemy, his concoctions being well known for their efficacy, and his contribution to the field of medicine, he's commonly known by many as the Lord of Vitality."

"Is it because of that one potion he concocted?" asked Valyr in response, cross-referencing the information Julian was telling him with the information he already knew.

From the very moment the man had mentioned the alchemist's name, Valyr had already become certain that the people that would join him in the inheritance would be none other than the future members of the Four Deities of Production, something he was uncertain of during his meeting with Theraldine.

However, with how he had drastically affected the timeline to the point that he had taken Theraldine's place in the inheritance, Valyr still remained open-minded towards the two other members of the inheritance, thinking that his actions might have caused these people to change.

"It is." Listening to Valyr's question, Julian nodded in response. "The Panacea. Not only does it cure people from any sickness or poison they might have, the potion also allows these people to be reborn anew, with some of them even looking 10 years younger than they were after taking it."

"Now let's go over his weaknesses." Saying these words, Julian's expression turned stern. "Unlike you and the other two, Faulus hasn't really spent that much time sharpening his combat skills. If anything, the only reason why he had been chosen to represent the alchemists is none other than his class."

"I don't need to go over why that is, right?" asked Julian, to which Valyr shook his head.

As someone who had already been informed of the reason during his meeting with the elders of the Ancestral Council, Valyr was already more than knowledgeable in that regard.

"Alright." Julian nodded. "Though his ability in combat is truly lacking, his ability in alchemy is the real deal. Thus, if he throws anything at you that resembles a flask or container of some sort, avoid it as much as possible."

"Of course, his pitiful skill in combat is only part of his weaknesses. His true weakness lies in his personality," he continued, giving Valyr a faint smirk. "To sum up his personality in a single phrase: he's easily provoked."

"So... as long as I taunt him over and over, he'll eventually bite?" Asking this question, Valyr looked at Julian with a hint of doubt, having no information of this side of the man in his memories.

"Pretty much," said Julian in response. "An incredibly short temper, a great level of arrogance due to his feats, as well as a superiority complex. As long as you keep those things in mind, you'll be able to use him to your advantage."

"You make him sound like he's just a tool," replied Valyr, slightly shuddering from the man's words.

"I won't beat around the bush here. He pretty much is." Julian looked at Valyr with a solemn expression. "Especially when compared to the three of you."

"With that, let's move onto the tailor of the group," said the man not long after. "Amongst the four production classes, the tailor class is predominantly occupied by women. Of course, there have been times where a few male tailors have shown their abilities to be on par with even the greatest of female tailors."

"Nevertheless, female tailors still reign supreme in many aspects of tailoring, with the one joining you being no exception to that." Taking in a deep breath, Julian began to talk about the second person Valyr had to be wary out. "The tailor's name is Loreina Rainiere san Cappe, san Cappe being a reference to her hometown of Cappe Village where she grew up."

"Aside from that, she's an Honorary Elder of the Tailor Guild at the young age of 18."

"Sporting the True Prodigious Seamstress class, all of her works have been adored by many, ranging from those hailing from prestigious families, to those who have come to use her works in the battlefield."

"However, she's mostly well-known thanks to one specific pattern of hers which has eluded multiple tailors for years now," said Julian. "Due to the pattern's miraculous effects of bolstering the piece's original effects to a far greater degree, she's more well-known as the Miracle Seamstress, though she's also been called the Seamstress of War by some."

"In terms of her combat ability, she's far better than Faulus in that regard, though still lacking when compared to you and the other person I'll be mentioning after her," he continued, his expression turning solemn as he pondered over how he would phrase his next words. "As for her weakness, well... if you've been keeping up to date on her condition, then you'd already know what her weakness is."

"Are you telling me...?" Turning the gears in his mind as madly as possible, Valyr eventually recalled one memory about Loreina that prompted him to look at Julian with wide eyes.

"Yes." Julian nodded, his expression turning even more solemn.

"She doesn't have much time left to live."
