I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1047 - Chapter 1047 Chapter 1049 Hesitation_1

Chapter 1047: Chapter 1049 Hesitation_1 Chapter 1047: Chapter 1049 Hesitation_1 “I apologize, this name is too unfamiliar to me, I need to look it up!” Talov showed an apologetic expression on his face.

“Please do,” Song Jian nodded and said.

In the forging guild, there were not many people with Master Level Forge Art, but neither were there few. Talov knew most of them, but there were still some he had never encountered, and were rarely mentioned by others. Kulun must belong to this category.

Before long, Talov walked in, holding a huge tome, flipping through it as he moved.

Song Jian could feel that this giant tome had powerful seals on it, as its contents involved much of the secret information of the forging guild.

Some forging masters who specialized in forging did not possess strong combat abilities. Once their residence or personal information is known, it could be detrimental to them.

Many evil organizations would kidnap such professional life craftsmen to serve exclusively in their organizations.

“The person you’re speaking of must be Master Kulun Mil,” Talov’s eyes lit up as he turned to a page and immediately said.

“I apologize, I only knew his name was Kulun. Could you tell me more about this Master Kulun Mil?” Song Jian asked.

The description in the mission bar was very brief, and did not mention Master Kulun’s full name, which was one of the reasons Talov did not recall him immediately when asked.

“This Master Kulun Mil, he is over one hundred and sixty years old. He was already a forging master before I joined the forging guild…” Tammy looked at the information in the book, with a surprised expression on his face.

“He was born into a family of forgers and had once forged epic items, such as the Dragon-slaying sword, and was pursued by the Dragon Clan for several decades. The last time he appeared was near Tanzang Town, which is about a hundred kilometers from Scorching Gorge. According to the forging guild records of Tanzang Town, he was there to enter Scorching Gorge in search of a mineral called ‘black essence core iron’…”

As he said this, Talov’s face suddenly turned grave, and looking up at Song Jian, he gently shook his head and said, “It has been eighteen years since that incident, and many believe that Master Kulun died in Scorching Gorge!”

Song Jian’s eyes brightened; it seemed that the Master Kulun he was looking for must be Kulun Mil.

“Scorching Gorge is one of the most terrifying regions in the world, also known as Divine Fall Land. Without Second-tier Peak Combat Power, entering it would mean certain death. Even though Master Kulun is an extremely excellent Forging Master, his combat power…” Talov shook his head slightly.

“Black essence core iron?” Song Jian nodded. From the mission introduction, it could be seen that Master Kulun should still be alive. To have survived in such a terrifying place for eighteen years, it seems that Master Kulun was not as fragile as people imagined; he must have had his own means of survival.

“In fact, Master Kulun’s level of Forge Art has been stuck at the Master Level for many years. His venture into Scorching Gorge was to break through the Master Level and enter the Grandmaster realm, but unfortunately…” Talov sighed and shook his head slightly. It’s important to note that among the forging masters registered in the forging guild, there were only dozens at the Master Level. As for grandmaster level forging masters, there were only eight, each one a strategic treasure of the forging guild, with ordinary people finding it difficult to even meet one.

If Master Kulun could break through to Grandmaster, it would greatly enhance the strength of the Forge Guild.

“Lord Mayor, do you need Master Kulun to forge something for you? I can recommend other masters to forge for you. Our Forge Guild has masters with a wealth of experience, even, I could apply to the headquarters for a Grandmaster Forging Master to serve you!” Talov said respectfully.

“No, thank you,” Song Jian declined with a smile, “Actually, I’m here because I have a mission related to Master Kulun…”

“A mission?” Talov’s face showed a hint of confusion, but soon, his eyes lit up with excitement as he asked, “My lord, may I inquire about the content of your mission, oh, sorry, I just want to know, is Master Kulun still alive?”

Song Jian gave Talov a look and nodded, “My mission is to go to Scorching Gorge and find Master Kulun. I guess Master Kulun should still be alive!”

“That’s great, Master Kulun is still alive…” Talov said, bowing respectfully to Song Jian, “Lord Mayor, please do your best to help Master Kulun return. If you can persuade him to settle in the City of Hope, that would be even better!”

“I think Master Kulun probably doesn’t need my help, after all, if he has managed to stay in Scorching Gorge for eighteen years, he must have his own means…” Song Jian shook his head.

The light in Talov’s eyes dimmed instantly. If Song Jian could save Master Kulun, then his Forge Guild would certainly play a significant role in the achievement. For Talov, it would undeniably be a very profitable matter.

“Lord Mayor, please try to persuade him,” Talov sighed, hesitated for a moment, then steeled himself and took out a forging hammer the size of a palm from his bosom and handed it to Song Jian, saying, “Lord Mayor, if you see Master Kulun, please give him this forging hammer. Perhaps it will be of help to him!”

An unusual expression appeared in Song Jian’s eyes, as the forging hammer emitted a purplish-red glow. The dense purplish-red light was almost tangible, and there were even faint flickers of gold at the edges of the light.

“An epic-level forging hammer, and it’s at the absolute peak of epic level, just half a step away from becoming a legendary hammer!” Song Jian couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. As everyone knows, the tools of a life profession player are even more precious and rarer than the weapons of professionals, and given the vast number of life profession players, such an epic-level peak forging hammer could be said to be worth a fortune.

Talov truly had the audacity to offer it, proving himself worthy of being a president of a Forge Guild!

System: President of the City of Hope Forge Guild, Talov, issues you a hidden quest: Find Master Kulun; Quest details: Head to Scorching Gorge to find the whereabouts of Master Forger Kulun Mil and deliver “Talov’s Forging Hammer” into his hands; Quest reward: Fifty million Experience Points;

Looking at the system prompt, Song Jian let out a slight smile, accepted the forging hammer, and took on the quest. Fifty million Experience Points could increase his experience by one fifth, and most importantly, it was on his way–an effortless benefit–so Song Jian naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Having learned everything he wished to know, Song Jian turned around and left the Forge Guild. Watching Song Jian’s departing figure, Talov was somewhat excited, murmuring to himself, “This is an opportunity. If we can really save Master Kulun, it would be a great achievement. And after so many years, maybe Master Kulun has already advanced to Grandmaster. A Forging Grandmaster…”

“No, I have to immediately send the news of Master Kulun being alive to the main council. Maybe the central guild will send a few experts into Scorching Gorge to save Master Kulun… However, with that, the possibility of getting Master Kulun to settle in the City of Hope becomes extremely slim. Or else, wait one week, perhaps the Lord Mayor can save Master Kulun by then?” For a moment, Talov didn’t know what decision to make, and his face was marked with indecision.
