Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Novel

Chapter 763 Invited By The King

-----

(Planta's POV)

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

I focused all my mind and magic power into my forging hammer, smithing through the metal and slowly shaping it into a longsword.

Through the various techniques that the Hephaestus Successor Skills gave to me, I was able to instinctively learn where to use my hammer and how to shape the weapons.

Imbuing them with Spiritual Energy and using Lesser Spirits to make it easier was something I came out with, but that seemed to be the right call as well.

FLUOOSH!

I put the sword on the furnace one last time, shaping its form by using Spiritual Energy, and then wrapping its handle with my wood.

And then, using Nieve's icy water, I cooled it down and sharpened it.

Once the longsword was done, it shone with a beautiful silvery red luster, and had a rainbow-colored aura coming from it.

Yet another nice equipment done! I quickly put it aside, where there was a pile of another dozen weapons, armor, and equipment pieces. I had been crafting with my friends nonstop for the next three hours.

Although it seemed complex at first, I've learned to mass produce these items by doing it quickly, maintaining a regular level of quality. Of course, for better items I would need to take my sweet time, but this should be enough anyways.

Ding!

-----

[An Amazing Feat! You gained +500 DEX]

"Oh nice, I got another Title!" I celebrated happily, quickly realizing my Dexterity increased by 500 and was over 5000 right now. "It sure feels like it! I think I could craft things even faster than before…"

Ding!

[The [Hephaestus' Blacksmithing: Lv2] and [Hephaestus' Smithing Hammer Techniques: Lv2] Skills have Leveled Up!]

[20 Skill Points have been discounted for each of their Levels.]

"Oh! Level 3 already? This was fast…"

As I smiled and felt proud of my hard work, Mark gently cleansed my sweat from my forehead with a handkerchief.

"You've been working nonstop since that Paladin guy showed up." He said. "Are you not tired?"

"Well a bit! Though right now I'm wondering if the King will have anything to say about this." I wondered. "Two Hidden Dungeons found in less than 24 hours should make him more interested, right?"

"I just hope he's not just some lazy King or something." Rita said. "He better try to do something to help us out!"

"Hm, I think so too." Lily nodded. "Ah, thank you for purchasing our products today too!" Lily waved her hand cutely as a group of Adventurers walked away with some new pieces of equipment.

Just as that happened, a dozen more Adventurers asked for equipment, making a huge line. Ambil had been working nonstop as well, finally sitting down, and taking a break.

"Yer doing a lot of things, are you not getting too tired of everything? From looking for ruffians, fighting monsters, and even working' here…" He sighed. "I mean, I appreciate the help and all but…"

"Don't mind it! Aside from goodwill, I'm also doing this to become worthy of the Divine Forge. We're getting close to the estimated money we need, right?" I asked.

"Y-Yes, in fact… I think we already made it…" He sighed. "Though I'll need to pay my debt at the bank first."

"Really? Already?!" Asked Acorn. "Well, that's nice!"

"I didn't even realized we sold so much…" I was surprised. "Well, we might continue working here anyways, it helps us develop our skills."

As he said, Ambil needed to first pay the debt in the bank of the Luminous Kingdom before the quest could be completed, so until then, it would be better to rank as much money selling our items as we can.

"Alright then! Let's exhaust all the material reserves and craft as much as we can to rank a lot of money and rewards at the Adventurer Guild, everyone!" I roared.

Nobody cheered along with me, they were exhausted… But after eating a few sandwiches I had prepared, and drinking some tea and fruit juice, we were back to work.

We spent the next hour selling everything without stopping, until we were completely out of both materials and equipment to sell. There were a couple of players and adventurers that came a bit too late, walking away empty-handed…

"Aw, are you kidding me? It's all out?"

"Ugh, I waited on the line for so long for nothing…"

"I've seen so many guys reselling the items at insane prices!"

"Dammit… Will you sell them tomorrow too?! Planta, please sell them tomorrow too!"

It seemed that my equipment has become a hot topic among the Player Community, a lot of people was coming here from faraway areas just to buy equipment from me.

Even people past Level 100 wanted the equipment I created. Even if it was rather underwhelming on rank, their stats, and their unique ability to unleash Spiritual Effects was very amazing, so everyone wanted them.

For example, weapons could unleash spiritual energy imbued strikes, or even channel the player's element too, making their attacks very potent.

Shields and armor could conjure spiritual barriers and elemental guards, helping against strong foes that used magic.

So, naturally, their actual price would be much higher than the price we were selling them for, making it an enormous bargain nobody could miss.

"We don't know for sure, sorry." I apologized.

"Aw… well you're so cute so its fine."

"I'm just glad I got to meet you!"

"I gave you Fame! Thank you for looking at my eyes!"

"She's so cute…"

"Please, excuse me." Suddenly a voice rang from behind the players, pushing them around.

A blonde paladin accompanied by a group of knights arrived in the scene, the Players glanced at the important NPC with eyes wide open.

"Wait, is that a Paladin from the Luminous Knights Order?!"

"N-No way, is Planta related with them?!"

"Argh, don't push me!"

As the Players made way, David arrived once more to the forge. As promised, he came back after telling the King about what we told him beforehand.

"Lady Planta, we're back! Good news, the King has invited you to a Royal Meeting!" Said David. "Also, the Queen just told me it will now become a Royal Banquet with several other Nobles! Please, come with your friends, you're all invited!"

"A-A Royal Banquet?!" I was shocked. "Really?"

The Players that were left around could only look in surprise as the NPC invited us to something they could only ever dream to attend…

"I knew that sticking with you was a good idea!" Angelina celebrated.

"She really brings good fortune." Gandalf laughed.
