Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master -
Chapter 99 - 99: Blue Frost Ores And Bronzed Silver Ant Wax
When she went to look for Lang and the other bronze grade spirit masters, she thought William asked for them to form a small fighting unit. And as Lang and others guessed, she got hyped about having such an idea and totally supported it.
She thought that her long dream about acting heroic, venturing through herds of monsters with an elite team would come true.
"You'll know once we arrive there," William paused before adding, "you are sure the ores and materials are there as well, right?"
"These are our clan's secrets," Lang got over his surprise and reminded Berry in such an indirect way about such a grave mistake.
"Nothing is secret to William," Berry didn't think as Lang did, and didn't care about such trivial issues.
"I just need an answer," William didn't want to waste more time and just wanted to start his plan.
"There are more than enough," Berry didn't shift her eyes away from Lang who could only inwardly sigh.
This was the granddaughter of the scary patriarch, which meant she was the acting patriarch in the future if things went by logic.
How could he, the one coming from a side family, speak and antagonise the decisions made by her? He did his part to gently remind her, and from her actions just now he knew he succeeded in his job.
Other than that, it wasn't his turf or area of his control or responsibility. And if any elder asked him later, he'd just tell them everything that happened, and wouldn't get into any trouble.
"Great," William rubbed his hands, "let's go then. I'll speak during our run."
"Run?" Berry gave him a questionable look and William simply nodded for her to lead the way. "Fine, tag along and don't get lost."
She started to run while William shifted his attention towards Lang.
"Tell me, how bad it is."
"Well, from the look of it, things aren't that bad," Lang said, and William could only inwardly sigh. Of course, category three monster tide wasn't that risky if others came to help, and enough preparations were done.
But he knew this wasn't the real situation they were facing. If it was up to him, he'd reassign this grade to become grade one without any hesitation.
"The monsters coming are in grade three, a large scale indeed but the elders already dispatched teams to ask for help from the academy and other clans."
'That's if they responded,' William muttered to himself without showing anything over his face. He only motioned for Lang to continue. After all, what he needed to know wasn't yet told by this dude.
"As for the estimated time," Lang got a whim of what William needed to hear the most, and he deliberately left it to the last, "the scarlet monsters are coming here in four hours, give or take two."
"That's not bad…" William nodded while muttering these words which made Lang and everyone else mistake his real intentions.
He wasn't speaking about the difficulty of the incoming monsters, but the time needed for them to finish their preparations.
"Can you explain now what you are planning to do?" Lang took this chance to ask what he was dying to know.
"We are here," and just before William would say anything, Berry suddenly shouted, "it's up there."
William looked and up ahead lied a great open space which wasn't even walled. It was filled with big ovens and cauldrons, lots of wood stacked in large batches at one side, while a small group of buildings was on the opposite side.
The place was void of anyone, a clear sign that the patriarch and elders already called for everyone they could muster to prepare for battle.
Arrangements for war must have been prepared a long time ago, or else this clan wouldn't deserve the title and fame it got.
"Cool, now listen up," even before they'd arrive there, William started distributing his orders, "what we need is to gather up all the Blue Frost ores, all the Bronzed Silver Ant Wax you can find, plus all the arrows and spears you can get."
"Arrows? Spears?" Lang was puzzled.
"But… The Blue Frost ores aren't used mainly to forge anything. They are just used to temper the cooling water, adding a faster frosty effect to it!" Berry was more puzzled by what William said.
She got from her grandfather about how William performed extremely well back at the Forging department of the academy. But from the two items William asked for, there wasn't any suitable material for forging!
"And the wax… The Bronzed Silver Ant Wax is used just to blend the forged pieces together, making them look much sturdier and firmly attached to each other," Claine said, expressing his knowledge about such a topic.
"Just do as I say," William knew what he was using right now might be considered an unorthodox method, but it was their hope, their only hope if his bad projection became true.
Even if he was totally wrong about anything, the clan wouldn't lose materials of high value. And that was why he was acting this calm.
"Anything else?" Berry rolled her eyes, feeling more helpless to issue her doubts than ever. She was supposed to stand and support William, not antagonising his actions in the open.
"These will do," William paused, "just fetch a small group of three, all must have storage rings to store up the arrows and spears we need."
"That… Do you think storage rings are so cheap?!!"
"Do you think we can get such valuable items from the clan at such a time?"
William calmly looked at Claine who issued the last comment, as he slowly and confidently replied:
"Arrows and spears are valuable indeed. But I refuse to believe there aren't extra amounts in the clan right now. If not, then we'll have to forge them ourselves. And you'll be the ones doing this, not me. Not to mention we'll lose lots of time this way. So, let's all pray the clan has extras, enough for what we are going to do next."
"Any specific grade?" Lang asked.
