Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Aven is looking at his inventory and sighing while clicking his tongue, he crosses his arms and then scratches his eyebrow. Ilvia looks at him while furrowing her forehead because she's starting to get annoyed by his sighing and clicking tongue.

"What's wrong, Aven? You have been doing that ever since we came here."

We are looking at Aven and then he's pointing at his screen with his hand while shrugging.

"Well, it's because my weapon shattered and I don't have anything else to replace. Even if there's one it's not the same and I don't want it, the sword that I used already has a lot of enchantment and has been upgraded to some extent that's impossible for me to create it again. I feel so stupid using my weapon to fight that subject, and now I have nothing to use."

Chris is looking at him and leaning on the chair.

"To be fair we have no idea with what we were dealing with, so there's nothing you can do about it though. We just know about the whole thing just now and you don't have to blame yourself for that."

Aven rolls his eyes and exhales deeply.

"I know..."

Kyle looks at Aven and squints his eyes.

"Right, you broke your weapon, huh? If that's the case then let's ask Miss Grisell to make you a new weapon."

Aven looks at Kyle while rising his eyebrows.

"What? Really? I can just ask her to make me a new weapon? But I don't have money or gold, so I don't think I can pay for it. Miss Grisell's creation is a unique class weapon and the price is off the chart so there's no way I can afford it even if I farm gold for weeks in real-time."

Kyle chuckles and shakes his head.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about the price, it's free. Miss Ivonna told me if our equipment broke during the encounter with the subject, Miss Grisell will make a new one for us. So you don't have to pay, it's a promise that Miss Ivonna herself made to us. So, come on, let's meet Miss Grisell in the Second District, I also have to fix my armor and weapon because of earlier."

Aven's eyes are wide open and nod with excitement.

"For real?! Yeah, let's go then!"

We all then decide to leave the pub and go to the Second District to meet with Miss Grisell, I remember that she's the one who rules the Second District, so I think we are going to meet her in the Palace where she's at but then Kyle says that Miss Grisell won't be in the Palace since she doesn't like the place and prefer to stay in her workshop. We look at Kyle with confusion because we never heard that Miss Grisell has her own workshop and even if there's one, we should have known about it since she's the best forger in the game.

We are following Kyle and the others from behind, and when we enter the Second District, Kyle is pointing at the building. We see a small building that looks not that fancy, and to be honest, the building looks ordinary and there's no sign of that building selling anything. Kyle says that building is where Miss Grisell is at, and that's her workshop where she uses her spare time to forge equipment for experimenting.

We are standing in front of the building, Kyle is knocking on the door then a woman is opening the door. She looks at us for quite a while but then she let us in, she's not Miss Grisell but I think she's her friend or partner. I look around inside the building and it's just a small house, but the woman is leading us to the back of the building and then I just realize that we are entering a different building and now I can see that this place is really where Miss Grisell is at because of the weapons and armors that are being displayed in a glass case and hanged on the walls. All those pieces of equipment must be worth at least thousands of dollars, I wonder why she dare to put all these weapons and armors here unguarded but knowing that she's part of the Ophiuchus then I guess if someone dares to steal something from her, then something bad will happen to them.

We are waiting in the living room while the woman is going to call Miss Grisell in her workshop since she said that Miss Grisell doesn't want to be bothered during her spare time while she's in her workshop unless it's something urgent. I thought that we should leave but then Kyle explained to the woman that it's urgent since he and Aven need their equipment before tonight for the BZM event to take the Malevolent Clan at the Highland.

We are just sitting on the couch while staring at the pieces of equipment that are displayed around here, Cecilia is looking at Valentino while pointing at the metal rod with small wings on the bottom with the sapphire gem. A weapon that's supposed to be used for Spellcaster, looks kind of weird because the handle is at the bottom not in the middle of the neck, and not just that but the rod is a bit thin compared to any other rod, staff, or wand.

"I was asking Miss Grisell if that rod is for sale, and she said yes. Do you know how much cost when she made that rod? It cost almost 10.000 gold coins or 10.000 dollars, and when I ask her if she's going to sell it because I was interested in that rod at that time, she said that the rod is unfinished work and it's not even reached half of the progress. She's waiting for some kind of inspiration to finish that weapon."

I look at Cecilia and raise my hand.

"Miss Cecilia, are these weapons and armors are a unique rarity?"

Cecilia looks at me and nods.

"Yeah, all of these are unique because Miss Grisell has a skill that able to create her own weapon and not based on the game's database. Everyone is still talking about the skill that she has but none of them know what skill is that, but Miss Grisell said that it was from doing a specific quest a few months after she started playing the game. She said the NPC is dead because of the Invasion, so she now is the only one who has that skill, but the developer said that there are so many similar skills like what she has and it's not been discovered by the players yet. Also, the woman that was just with us earlier is her apprentice and it's said that only one person who met her requirement, I remember there were at least hundreds of thousands people are applying to be her apprentice."

While we are listening to Cecilia's story, someone comes into the living room.

"Wow, I never thought I would be listening to my own achievement today as well."

Grisell is standing in front of the door while staring and smiling at us, she then sits on the chair while eating her snacks.

"So, I heard you need my help to repair your equipment, Kyle?"

Kyle smiles while scratching the back of his head.

"Yes, Miss Grisell. My weapon and my armor got pretty bad after fighting the subject earlier, and I'm not the only one, these guys also need one."

Grisell is looking at us while keep eating her snacks.

"Hmm, okay. Give me a second, I will find the right weapon and armor for you all."

I'm surprised and look at her while waving my hand.

"No, Miss Grisell. I'm good because my equipment is fine, but my friends here do need them."

Grisell is smiling and shaking her head.

"You guys know Ivonna and Trevor, right? If so, then it's a gift from me. So stay put and wait!"

Grisell leaves the living room and then a few minutes later she comes back. She approaches the table and then starts putting one item at a time, first she puts down a set of armor for Kyle, he immediately grabs them without hesitation and when he looks at the stats of the armor, he looks at Grisell with disbelief and then thanks her. She keeps putting armors and weapons on the table and all of them look good to be honest, and I believe those pieces of equipment are worth a fortune. She finally look at me while raising her eyebrows.

"Dual wielding?"

I nod at her and then she looks at my armor.

"Light armor?"

I nod again while keep staring at her then she puts two glowing blue steel swords on the table and a set of light armor. She looks at me and points her hand at those weapons and armors.

"Go on, it's yours."

I look at the stats of the armor and the swords and I'm shocked to see a weapon this good can be made by players and not to mention these swords are so light and yet it feels durable. The level requirements and the stats of the equipment are not evenly balanced, with these pieces of equipment even a newbie can become a beast!

Grisell crosses her arms and looks at us.

"I heard you're going to take down the Malevolent Clan tonight? So, with those, I believe you will succeed in taking them down. Good luck, guys, and bye-bye!"

Grisell and her apprentice then leave the room as if she's just giving us trash items that didn't worth anything to her at all.
