Eternal Thief

Chapter 1160: Inferno Weapon Smith Association (2)

The first floor of the Inferno Weapon Smith Association pagoda was massive and divided into multiple sections according to their services. The most crowded section was the ʼForger Commission Section,ʼ and there were private VIP rooms.

Ace entered the pagoda with Cyrus and Chuchu on his shoulders. Both children looked around the lavish interior with twinkling eyes. The truth was they were both excited because they could sense an ʼabundance of foodʼ in this place, and if Ace had told them to do as they wished, they wouldʼve long caused a commotion.

”Please donʼt block the entrance, Sir.” A beautiful petite woman wearing a red uniform with white outlines impassively called when she saw Ace looking around the shop while standing a few meters away from the door.

But Ace was clearly not blocking the way, as he wasnʼt a newcomer to such a place. He glanced towards the woman who seemed to be a staff member. Although she may sound polite, Ace knew she was hiding her contempt. But this contempt wasnʼt towards just him, but for everyone, as if she considered everyone beneath her, and she had this unapproachable aura around her.

Aceʼs eyes shimmered with a peculiar glint before turning to normal, as he didnʼt mind, and smiled apologetically.

He moved towards the impassive-faced woman, ”Forgive me, miss. Itʼs my first time on an adventure, so I was just admiring the novelty of the Inferno Weapon Smith Association. Can you please point me where the Association sold goods?”

The womanʼs eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Ace suddenly approach her, which no one dared to do after they saw her stoic yet stern face and disrespectful attitude.

But whenever someone with some backbone complained, no one dared to do anything to this woman, which gave everyone the wrong impression that the Inferno Weapon Smith Association wouldnʼt punish its people even if they were impolite.

The woman then glanced towards the two cute fellows on this young manʼs shoulders, and a hint of interest flashed past her eyes. She hesitated momentarily before saying, ”If sir is here to purchase, then you should head to the second floor after paying the entrance fee of 1 Tier-3 Spirit Coin.”

”You even charge Spirit Coins just to enter the second floor? Not to mention a Tier-3 one at that. Then how much would your weapons cost?” George smacked his lips in dismay and dissatisfaction.

”No one is forcing you, Sir; you can always go to another business.” The woman impassively replied without intending to explain what a staff member shouldnʼt do.

”Tsk, only if another business could meet my demands.” George sighed ruefully.

ʼIs he pretending to be some big shot?ʼ The womanʼs eyes flashed with contempt, and she subtly retorted, ”Donʼt worry, sir. We will fulfill all your demands as long as you can afford it.”

”Then do you guys have 99 Upper Ascension Grade-1 Weapons with Dark Element Affinity?” George asked, full of provocation.

”What?! 99 Upper Ascension Grade-1 Weapons with affinity? Are you messing with me?” She was shocked before she glared fiercely at George, who casually demanded many weapons as if he were buying cabbages. Not to mention, he wanted all of them to be upper grade, and their affinity needed to be Dark elements as well.

Everyone knew what an Ascension Grade Weapon with an ʼAffinityʼ implied, a Quasi Spirit Ascension Grade Weapon because, at Ascension Grade, the affinity wouldnʼt be mere ʼElementʼ but it would be ʼLawʼ because only Law State cultivators would use Ascension Grade Weapons.

Thatʼs why making an ascension-grade weapon with a certain affinity was very hard because it allowed a weapon to interact with the natural laws and manipulate them. Only 4-Star Spirit Weapon Forger were qualified to start researching this aspect of Spirit Weapon Forging. Furthermore, granting an ascension-grade weapon an affinity was also the main requirement for a ʼSpirit Ascension Grade Weapon.ʼ Which was the territory of 7-Star Spirit Weapon Forgers. Thatʼs why an ascension weapon with element affinity was also called a ʼQuasi Spirit Ascension Grade Weapon.

Now, Ace was suddenly demanding 99 of such weapons, which only a 4-Star Spirit Weapon Forger was capable of making. Even though they didnʼt have a 100% success rate, even a 30% success rate was a miracle, and thatʼs the case for Ascensions Grade-1 since the success rate would only decrease by a huge margin as the grades go higher.

Even the President of the Inferno Weapon Smith Association of Western Guardian Sect City was only a 3-Star Spirit Weapon Forger and an Outer Sect Forger Elder of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect.

A 4-Star Spirit Weapon Forger could only be found among the Forger Elders of the inner sect of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect.

Ace sighed in disappointment. Although he already knew this, he still tried his luck here since this place was directly under the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect. However, it seemed he could only try his luck in the black market.

He bickered with this woman because she had the same kind of seal on her memories as John, which stopped his soul probe when he wanted to acquire information from her about this place. He didnʼt dare use his thief sense in this place either since he might trigger some alarm or, worse, alert someone he shouldnʼt.

Anyhow, just this much was enough for Ace to know that this womanʼs background wasnʼt simple, and her being here seemed to have some deeper meaning.

”See, didnʼt I tell you no one can meet my demands? Even the Inferno Weapon Smith Association couldnʼt? Sigh...” George sighed with frustration as if he was extremely

disappointed with Inferno Weapon Smith Association.

The woman was speechless seeing Georgeʼs reaction: ʼAnd here I was punished because I was arrogant and didnʼt know my limit? This guy is clearly worse than me!ʼ

Deep indignation shone in the womanʼs eyes as she secretly despised her master for punishing her like this just because she slapped some perverts and maybe she was somewhat ʼloudʼ with some respected elders, but she clearly didnʼt deserve to be a door receptionist, and this annoying guy was behaving as if he owed the world. If not for her punishment, she wouldʼve already slapped him to the end of the world.

However, she was again startled when she saw the guy silently turn around while shaking his head and walking towards the exit. This made her even more speechless, as she thought he was too deep into his act.

The woman has no intention of stopping Ace as she knows this guy is only here to fool around, even secretly ʼflirtʼ with her by using his strange pickup lines.

But at this moment, Aceʼs step suddenly halted because in front of him stood a slim young man wearing the same kind of uniform as the woman, and he had this gentle smile on his face which gave others a feeling of warmth, but his eyes were extremely narrow, and with his smile, they were completely hidden like two slits, but for Ace, his smile was more like a

devilʼs greeting.

”Junior Sister, is this guest bothering you?” The young man still smiled as his narrowed eyes curled slightly.

”I hope youʼre not blind because if you could see, then I was about to leave if you havenʼt blocked my way. Now, if you could get out of me before I help you seal those eyes for good,” George dismissively berated before the young woman could reply.

The young man with narrowed eyes was shocked, as was the woman and everyone who heard the commotions. They were in disbelief, and some even gloated at the young manʼs misfortune, who clearly didnʼt know the difference between sky and earth.

After all, those who recognized the narrowed-eyes young man knew George had just stepped on a landmine because the former ʼPagoda Mangerʼ and also one of the two direct disciples of the President of the Inferno Weapon Smith Association of Western Guardian Sect City, Wallace Oriente!
