Chapter 79
“…”
“…”
“…”
The forge fell silent as the screaming continued.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The binge drinking was still going on, and the smiths glanced at each other and then at Nerfai, their leader.
“…”
But Nerfai, too, could only stare blankly at the source of the binge drinking and screaming and say nothing. This is the imperial palace, he thought. Such sounds could not and should not be heard in the palace.
“Get to work!”
Suddenly, Nerfai awoke to find the smiths staring at him, and he cried out. At Nerpai’s urging, the smiths returned to work. Ming Hu approached Nerpai as the smiths resumed their work.
“I’ve made everything you asked me to make.”
Sigh
With that, Ming Hu placed his sword, armor, and shield on the table. Nerfai looked at the armor on the table, then at Ming Hu, then at the armor, then at the armor again, then approached the table with a slightly puzzled expression on his face, then picked up the sword.
Siaak
A faint glow emanated from Nerfai’s hand, permeating the sword. Unbeknownst to Ming Hu, Nerfai had a special ability to determine when a weapon was made and how powerful it was.
“Well…”
Nerfai was silent for a moment, then looked at Ming Hu with an expression of disbelief, and then Nerfai opened his mouth to speak.
“I don’t need to see anything else…”
Kaaaah!
Just then, a loud, clear boom echoed through the forge, unlike anything he’d ever heard before.
