Chapter 44: The Drunkard Half-blood
Chapter 44: The Drunkard Half-blood
Inside his study, Ronald listened to Jack's report with a poker expression on his face.
"I see." With on a thoughtful expression, he said. "Follow his orders. But remember to ensure his safety."
"Yes, master." With those words, Jack left to carry out Luis' orders.
Ronald was left alone inside the study, thinking back on Jack's report.
"Almast, huh?" He mumbled.
He didn't understand what Luis was thinking. Not that he wanted to probe him. He will support his son, nonetheless.
He then glanced at the hologram in front of him. It was the list of materials that Luis asked Jack to prepare.
Reading the names of some of the materials, Ronald couldn't help but mutter. "I wonder what he is going to make."
Although Ronald didn't have talent in the technical field. He wasn't a layman in these technical materials.
Though he was interested but he didn't want to bother Luis. He knew once Luis succeeds, he will definitely tell him.

After teasing Alicia a little, Luis didn't bother her, and watched her training quietly. He knew his limits for teasing her. Excessive teasing may end up generating some hatred.
As he quietly watched Alicia move back and forth, trying to land a hit to Lumine. He couldn't help but think about the fighting techniques Alicia mastered in the game.
'Maybe I should help her get that sword technique early.'
Luis knew Alicia wanted to keep up with him, and that's why she was working hard. He also respected her choice and wanted to support her. He knew Alicia was very talented, but she never got the chance to shine in the game.
'I wonder how things will turn out now.' When Luis was still in his thoughts. Jack had already approached and reminded him.
"Young master, the transport circle is ready. We can leave anytime."
Hearing this, Luis immediately stood up and left with Jack without bothering Lumine and Alicia.
Coming to the familiar room with the transport circle drawn in the floor shining in white light. Luis didn't waste any time and stepped inside, followed by Jack.
A moment later, both of them disappeared from the Suarez estate and appeared in the Vip room of the transport hub of the Almast city.
Several employees came forward seemingly trying to serve Luis, who was a special Vip. But Luis sends them off with a gesture. He doesn't want to waste his time here.
"Young master, the car is ready."
Jack has already prepared everything before coming here.
Luis nodded his head, and following Jack's lead, they entered the car. No bodyguards were called because Jack was there to ensure Luis's safety.
"Where are we going, young master?"
Jack asked, because he still didn't know their destination.
Luis was silent for a moment, then said, "To the Adventure Market, near Servail Mountains."
Jack didn't question anything and just let the driver drive.
Looking outside the transparent bulletproof window glass. Luis saw the city of Almast, the city surrounded by mountains. After the great war, many dwarves settled down here and the product they produced brought growth in the industry both for humans and dwarves.
Now, whether it's technology or weapon production, this city has become the forefront.
This city is also known as the link between humans and dwarves. But Luis' goal this time doesn't have anything to do with dwarves. Maybe it does, but not completely.
He came here because this is the city where the protagonist obtained his first magic sword.
In the game, the protagonist used this magic sword for a long time until he obtained a holy sword and other swords which were compatible with his element.
Don't misunderstand. Luis has no interest in obtaining that magic sword. Sword fighting is not his style, nor does he have much talent in it. What he is interested in is the material of that magic sword.
"Young master, we are here."
Jack's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Luis glanced outside the window and sure enough, they have arrived. He saw a huge building with the adventurer association logo on it.
Although it was called a market, it was more of a mall that specializes in selling products for adventurers. It's named Adventurer Market because of the tradition of this place.
Since many decades ago, even before the adventurer association was founded, this place used to be a market for adventurer products.
After the establishment of the adventure association, the adventurer occupation has been legalized. But they are still trying to control the flow of weapons and dangerous products.
Looking at the building, Luis decided to check it out in the future. Though he doesn't care about their products as his family is also in the same industry and the goods produced by his family are no worse than them, maybe even better. It's just their market is bigger compared to the Suarez family.
"Search for a run-down blacksmith shop run by a drunkard half-dwarf," Luis said to Jack.
Receiving the orders, Jack immediately started asking around. Don't look at Jack, who is usually quiet. When it comes to completing his job, his communication skills are unmatched.
It didn't take long for them to find the location. After all, a drunkard half-blood is pretty famous among the locals. It may not be in a good way, but is still a topic of gossip, so locals knew about him.
"Young master, there's a half-dwarf named Pietro, who has a blacksmith shop inherited from his dwarven father in the small street 120 meters ahead," Jack said.
"Yes, he is the one we are looking for. Let's go," Luis said with a slight smile.
Jack nodded and let the driver drive towards the location. But when they arrived near the small street, they noticed it was too narrow for the car to enter.
So Jack and Luis walked on foot and arrived in front of an old two-story building. Luis looked at the run-down blacksmith shop in front of him with an indifferent expression and directly walked in.
