chapter-1327
Rova woke up early in the morning before the sun had even come out yet. She drowsily made her way to clean herself and prepare for what was to come next.
Today was going to be a rather special day for her. After 3 days of consistent annoyance, she had finally managed to convince Ning to teach her how to make those weapons with skills, and he had agreed.
She was already happy with the money she was earning from the shop, but now she was even happier to learn that she would get something more than just money out of this. She would get a skill.
Her sleepiness went away when she went outside in the chilled morning. Dew gathered on the 3-day old grass, as she made her way through the giant empty ground behind her house to her work.
She had to clean up first and then Ning would teach her.The door to the back was never locked, so she walked in.
"Hi, Umbra. Are you awake?" she asked as she made her way through the darkness.
A small growl let her know that she was. "Ah, Lory must be sleeping. I won't make much noise," she said and made her way through the door. Once she went past that, she arrived at the massive shop with bright lights hanging from the ceiling.
She still couldn't believe there was so much room in a room that was maybe a tenth of its actual size. Neither could she understand why it worked like that. She had come to work one day and suddenly it was large.
Ning had told her that he was doing something with the shop the night before, but never could she have thought of this being what was being done.
He had explained to her. Something about Space Essence being used to create space. He mentioned it being no different than how a storage artifact worked, only this was larger.
But storage artifacts were crystals and created from space as far as she knew. The room was no space artifact. That made no sense.She had decided it made little sense with things when she was working with her boss. He was an amazing man but was equally confused about what he did and how he did it.
Still, she was grateful to the man. If he asked her to marry her, she would say yes in a heartbeat. Damn, was she coming to fall for her boss?
She sighed as she took out a wind dagger from her storage bag and poured her Essence into it. Fire Essence in a Wind artifact had a lower efficiency, but any wind would do here.
She used a technique carved in the dagger, created especially for the purpose she was using it for.
Cleaning.
A simple gust of air blew out from the dagger, surrounding her and everything in front of her, pushing the dirt all the way to the far side of the room. Then, she took up a broom and finished the last piece of the cleaning.
She wondered about her feelings as she threw out the dust and then started wiping the counters and shelves. Was she falling in love? She probably was, but it would be better if she got rid of it right now.
She knew her boss had a wife that he was happy with. 'What are you thinking, Rova? He has a daughter barely a decade younger than you. Stop with these foolish thoughts.'
She would forget about this, surely. But that didn't mean that she didn't feel it for now. She sighed. It was going to be a one-sided love for now, it seemed.
A pair of footsteps took away her attention and she turned to look toward Ning and Hadden. Hadden always looked weak when they came back. She wondered where they went. She had asked Hadden, and he once told her that he was made to drown in the ocean to get stronger.
How could that be? The ocean was hundreds and hundreds of leagues from this place. He must've meant a river. Maybe the one outside the city.
"Oh right," Ning said when he saw her. "I promised to teach you today, didn't I?"
"Yes," Rova said excitedly.
"Good," Ning said. "But first, here's your share."
He tossed something toward her that she caught quickly from midair. When she got it, she realized that it was a storage artifact. She could tell it was a weak one though, and wasn't bonded to anyone. Anyone could use it.
Se peered inside and gasped in surprise.
So many Fire coins. "What is this?" she asked nervously.
"Your part of the payment for the Twin Shadow Scythe," Ning said.
"You got the money?" Rova asked.
"Yes," Ning said. "Get ready, I'll teach you in a minute. Once you learn, we will open the shop."
Rova nodded excitedly. She found the prospect of learning something so rare and more valuable than the 1000 Fire coins she held in her hand.
"Come on then. Let's get this over with."
10 minutes later, Rova stood in front of a newly forged Wind dagger, her mind reeling with shock at the simplicity of it all.
"That's it?" she asked.
Ning shrugged.
Rova looked at the dagger in Ning's hand. How could it be that simple? There was no way for it to be that…
"Let me try," Rova said and thought for a bit.
Ning had just explained what to do, so everything was fresh in her mind. "First, I need fire," she said and burned a small pile of wood on the side.
Then using her Essence, she condensed the flames into a mixture of matter and Essence. Once the hybrid substance formed, she started pulling from it and started hitting on it with a hammer.
She did, she thought of the technique she wanted to put. It was a simple technique that created 3 Fire lances that flew into the distance. She understood the technique she always used.
She knew how it was created using the Essence in her body. Now, all she had to do was imprint the same pattern of the technique into the weapon using her Essence to create pathways.
When she was done, the artifact she made would be capable of using the technique.
