To the black smith! chapter 5

I walked up to the dead dragon to see what loot he had.
Electric dragon claws
Electric dragon fangs
Dragon scales
Thunder katana
staff of thunder
Static daggers

"Which of these do you want falen?" I asked.

"The daggers and the katanas"

"Ok I'll take the rest" I said and took everything but the daggers and katana. She took the daggers and katana.

"So can I friend you so that we can go on more quest sometimes" I asked

"Sure"

I then said goodbye and opened the map to fast travel back to the small village.

I went back to the mayor who gave me a key to the library and said "the first rooms are easy and you can learn things there but the underground sections are closed off and could be dangerous but there is where more valuable books are held and I'm sure the librarian could tell you more about that".

With that I walked to the library to be greeted by the librarian. The librarian was an old lady. She was tall though. She was about 6'5 with white hair and a golden dress. She looked at me and said "hello person. Before you go any farther you should know if you treat any of the books badly I'll rip you apart."

"Understood..." I said

"Good" she said, "now about the library. Its a inverted tower, meaning there are many floors underground. This first level contains basic books on learning things like advanced classes and forging as well as instructions, the floors underneath contain other things like skill books which increase skills or traits but do not give skill points, or valuable books you can sell to me for money. Oh and take this. Enjo explains things but you'll never remember them. This book contains everything you learn and can be referenced at anytime. You can also save things in it like crafting recipes."

"Okay"

She talked fast so I didn't fully understand everything she tried to say.

She then walked away and started speaking to other people who walked in. I walked to a section on forging and looked at the books about black smithing. One book described basics like how some blacksmith shops are owned by NPCS while others are player operated. It explained how like all player operated shops it costed more ,but was more valuable due to the player help. I decided to use the crafting materials to try and make better armor or weapons.

I pulled up the map and put a mark over the blacksmith. When I exited the map I could see an arrow that pointed to where I need to go. I followed it until I got to the blacksmith shop. The building was large and made of stone. There was smoke coming from a large chimney type thing on top of the building.

Before I entered it asked if I prefer a NPC or a player to help me. I selected player and entered the shop. then I spoke to him.

He was a gigantic guy wearing goldish colored armor. He had a giant goldish colored shield and dual spears on his back that had dark greenish handles with bright shiny blades. He also had two swords on his side in golden sheaths. "Hello, what can I do for you?" He asked.

I showed him my crafting material and asked what he'd reccomend.

He then explained that the material I gathered could be made into armor or weapons ,but they were bone and so organic and however strong they may be they could degrade fast over time. He also explained how they have lightning properties and if combined I would be able to get an equipment ability which is like a skill but bound to the weapon and stronger when more materials with the same property are added together. He then explained how the best course of action would be to cover the materials I had in a strong metal before crafting.

"What kind of metal should I get?"

"Ideally I'd suggest zenon the strongest metal there is. Of course if you had access to it you wouldn't be here. Anyway, I'd suggest steel as it's strong, easy to work with, and not to hard to find."

"Ok, where can I get some?"

"Well there was a mission in a mine you could take. It should be in the list of request the mayor gives people. It should be under side on your quest list. You may find other metals also and some might be better than steel so grab all you can. I'll be here when you get back."

"Ok thanks. Oh and what's your name?"

"My name is ryan." He said with a smile as I exited.
