The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World
Chapter 207 - 207 - Meeting Thorin the Blacksmith Again

Hearing those words, Aiden had no idea why but many emotions started to appear inside him and the one which was most dominant was one of happiness.

'Why am I happy? I don't even know her,' thought Aiden, confused by the constant stream of emotions.

Those emotions that came out of nowhere resembled what had happened with the Nightshade Family.

This time, it was happiness and love.

Before, it was hatred.

Lilia was looking at him straight in the eyes, waiting for his answer in regard to what she had just said.

However, when she realized that all she got was pure silence, she was sad, not understanding why.

Didn't Aiden just say that he remembered her?

So, why was he still acting like that, not trying to touch her or anything like that?

"Did you hear me?" repeated Lilia, getting a little further away from Aiden.

She had been right beside him since earlier, sometimes caressing his face and stuff like that.

However, she had just realized that maybe it wasn't that appropriate to do something like this with Aiden, as he didn't like it very much.

'Hear you? Of course, I did, but it's not because I'm feeling those emotions that I'm attracted to you,' thought Aiden, talking to himself.

"R-right, you love me..." said Aiden, in a very awkward tone.

"Do you really remember me?" asked Lilia, again, as she couldn't get out of her mind that Aiden was truly acting weird right now.

"Of course, I do, so can you stop with those questions? Now, I think we discussed everything, right?" said Aiden as he quickly stood up.

He was tired of talking to her as this conversation was simply going nowhere, he was happy to have confirmed that she wouldn't reveal his identity to anyone, but that was it.

That was basically the only thing that was worth noting in this entire conversation.

Lilia was a little shocked by Aiden stopping this entire conversation right away, however, she didn't say anything, only nodding her head, telling him that he could leave and that they were done.

'I know that he didn't tell me everything, I'm sure something happened to him, and he thinks I'm related. That's probably why he's so cold and indifferent toward me,' thought Lilia as she could Aiden's figure leaving her room.

'Well, I don't why I was even stressed in the first place,' thought Aiden as he opened the door to her room, leaving.

Their conversation had been pretty much useless, and Lilia seemed sure that something happened to him in the past, something traumatizing.

However, she was completely wrong, Aiden was simply not the same person as before.

That's why he seemed so different, sure something might have happened in the past, but that wasn't the reason that he was acting so weirdly with her.

Aiden was now roaming the streets in search of the blacksmith that he had chosen for his weapons.

He didn't know how he was supposed to receive the equipment that he had asked for the tournament, since the system had pretty much told him nothing.

It had only told him to decide on a blacksmith to craft his item and weapon, which in this case were pants and a dagger.

Then, he decided to look around the last place where he had seen Thorin the blacksmith.

"Hey, is that you? You motherfucker!" shouted someone coming out of a smith, angered.

Aiden heard that voice and turned toward where it was coming from, and was surprised to see a dwarf coming to him with clear anger in his eyes.

'Is he talking to me?' thought Aiden, as he looked around him.

However, when he saw that there was literally no one around him, he understood that the dwarf really was talking to him.

"Yeah you," said the dwarf as he continued to walk angrily toward Aiden.

Then, Aiden got a better look at the person who was approaching him, wondering if he had ever met him before that.

And he finally realized who that dwarf was.

It was the dwarf that Aiden was looking for, Thorin, the blacksmith.

"Did I do something?" asked Aiden, seeing that the blacksmith he had chosen was so furious at him.

"Of course you did, you fucking dumbass, you chose me to do your fucking items."

'Is that why he was one-star?' thought Aiden, now understanding that his personality really wasn't the greatest.

The first time he had seen him, Thorin had seemed nice in the way he was interacting. But now it seemed that his real personality was coming out, and it wasn't a great one, just like it was described on that little interactive screen.

"Is there a problem with that?" replied Aiden, confused as to why he would be angry over such a matter.

However, Thorin's response confused him even more.

"Of course, there is. Why would you pick me a One-Star Blacksmith, do you even have a brain?" he asked, furious.

Thorin had no idea why the person in front of him would choose him, who was supposed to be the worst of the worst, well... in terms of personality.

If it was only the talent, then he would probably be at the very top, but who cares about that?

"Um, sorry about that, but why are you mad over having a customer?" asked Aiden, confused as to why he was so furious toward him.

"When did I ever say that I was mad about having a customer? I'm just mad that you chose me."

'Why is he saying fuck or fucking every chance he gets?' thought Aiden, finding that habit of Thorin quite weird if he were to be honest.

"Fucking follow me," said Thorin, as he indicated to Aiden that they would be going to his smith.

'Well, I guess that's just how he is,' thought Aiden, as he followed him, not caring about the insults that Thorin was saying.

The two of them then entered the blacksmith, and Aiden couldn't help but be shocked by how dirty it was.

'Did I really pick the right Blacksmith for this?'

{Author's Note: Because there are two Thorin in the story, I will try to write who that person is in the scene, like Thorin, the blacksmith, or Thorin, the head of the Ravenwood Family. Yeah... I know, I could've chosen different names but it's funnier this way, right?}
