Chapter 1957 Noble Common Words

The matter of adding the "Heavy" tag to Aegis Aegis ultimately had to be dropped.

Even though Had had consumed the fruit that granted him dwarven wisdom, he dared not arbitrarily strengthen or modify the Aegis.

This is not a matter of skill level, but rather a difference in the types of skills.

Aegis uses Cyclops technology, which is different from Dwarven technology and comes from Olympian mythological totems. Enhancing it with Dwarven technology is like sending someone who is used to bland food to live in a region with heavy oil and spicy food, which will cause discomfort and lead to bad effects.

Fortunately, Blaze put away Aegis Aegis in time, so only one "Heavy" debuff was triggered. Otherwise, if it had been hit a few more times and all seven debuffs had been triggered, it would have been really bad.

But then again, Blazer's luck remains as unpredictable as ever.

To say it's bad luck, the "Heavy" attribute, which increases the weight of the equipment itself, isn't bad; it's above average and sometimes even more popular than some top-tier attributes.

One of the views that was shaken after the strangers arrived in this world was that "high-level equipment equals great power".

It turns out that effective affixes, suitable professions, and gameplay that can perfectly combine the two are far more important than high-level weapons.

In reality, most of the time, outsiders prefer high-level equipment that can only be enhanced with three attributes, among which the greatsword called [Glory Greatsword] is the darling of high-level equipment.

If you add three "Heavy" stats to the "Glory Greatsword", this greatsword, categorized as a greatsword, becomes a perfect weapon. It's hard enough to be used as a shield, and so heavy that even with low strength, it can crush enemies with its sheer weight when swung.

As for how to swing this giant sword, it requires some clever application of force. Once you master those methods, even a slender woman can swing this giant sword.

Of course, the biggest reason for its popularity is that the [Glory Greatsword] is very cheap, it is a high-level weapon, and it is easy to obtain.

It's a reputation weapon from the Alliance of Giants. Once you reach a certain reputation level, the Alliance of Giants will give you this greatsword as a token of their gratitude. If it gets broken, you can buy it back at a low price.

While high-level equipment, including Fairy Tale, Legendary, Mythical, and World-class items, boasts higher quality, more special skills, and more attribute slots, it is also significantly more difficult and costly to enhance. Furthermore, its high acquisition difficulty means that few people research perfect attribute combinations, class pairings, and playstyles, sometimes resulting in performance inferior to high-level equipment with well-established combinations.

Blaze's luck is also somewhat peculiar because "Heavy" is a popular keyword, especially for equipment like greatswords, hammers, and shields, but the problem is that it's not suitable for Aegis of the Aegis.

The Aegis is a small round shield in terms of size. After all, in terms of its background, it is more of a ceremonial object with symbolic meaning than a shield used for combat. Moreover, its perfect craftsmanship makes the increase in defense from the "Heavy" attribute not very noticeable.

Not to mention that Blaze used Aegis of the Aegis to parry, which doesn't require much defensive power from the shield itself. Instead, the shield needs to be as light as possible so as not to affect the movement of the arm.

"I've always been very aware of my own luck."

Blazer sighed helplessly. Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, it was bound to turn into a big deal in the end. "It's because of your unparalleled luck that I can only turn a blind eye to your laxity in forging skills," Had shook his head and sighed sincerely.

He was, after all, a mentor in the Blazer blacksmithing industry. Initially, he valued Blazer's willpower, but later he discovered that Blazer was becoming more and more suited to be a blacksmith.

With the power of the sun, the superhuman among flames, the power of the ouroboros, the giant among giants, and the ability to learn and observe the power-generating techniques of the great souls in the sky, it would be a waste not to become a blacksmith. He wished he could lock Blaze next to the forge.

If it weren't for these talents, he probably would have expelled Blaze from his school. After all, he had never seen such a lazy apprentice. The problem was that Blaze's reasons were always so justifiable that he had nothing to say.

Every few days, he has to fight a giant that can cause upheaval, occasionally stop internal strife in the Third Kingdom, find a fountain of youth and fight a god along the way, and plug the sky every other day when it collapses. Now, after suppressing the ambitions of the Dwarf Kingdom, he has to go and run around for Asgard.

Compared to these matters, the blacksmith's affairs can only be described as "don't cause trouble." Even Queen Arcadia didn't complain about the First Knight's attendance.

"Other blacksmiths are just forging iron, but you seem to be forged like iron, enduring hell and fire." Had looked the silver-haired boy up and down and smiled teasingly.

"He's really got the talent; not only is he not bad, but he's getting more and more handsome."

"Don't say that, I do complain a little sometimes." Blazer waved his hand, and after chatting with Had for a few more minutes about blacksmithing as a kind of refresher, he got down to business.

"What are the thoughts of the free blacksmiths, including yourself, on this Olympia competition?"

"Hmm..." Had stroked his long beard and gave an ambiguous answer, "Probably by taking advantage of any available space."

"Seize the opportunity?"

"We look for opportunities to take on jobs, and we look for opportunities to get contestants to do our work for free through competitions. It's that simple."

"This really is squeezing in any available opportunity." Blazer stroked his chin. Taking on jobs probably meant handling competition equipment, while doing free work meant using some events to cause some trouble—a win-win situation.

"Do you have time to take on some work now? I hope you can educate the more than 10,000 ordinary dwarves in the Dwarf Kingdom. Of course, I will pay you." Blaze clearly stated his idea.

“Oh, I don’t mind, but I won’t be stingy with the pay.” Had raised an eyebrow. “I’ll be taking some promising dwarves with me as apprentices.”

“If the person involved is willing, I won’t stop them.” Blazer shrugged, and sighed deeply as he thought of the ordinary dwarves whose eyes held little light.

"Although this may sound hypocritical, as if it's a cover-up for one's own purpose, if forging is truly the joy and life of the dwarf race, then I hope they can learn to love life."
