Chapter 435: Preparing for Ascension (2)
"You... Are just kidding, right?" Jole asked when he saw Khal’s face, even swallowing nervously as the memories flooded his mind.
He could clearly remember just how one-quarter of the sect was demolished in a split second because of Khal, and how that could have ended even poorly if it were not for the help of Darla, Elder Shiu, and all those disciples that were able to form and create defensive arrays around Silver Moon!
"This..." Jole didn’t know whether he should refuse to give Khal any ores or not, but luckily Khal’s next words calmed him down.
"Don’t worry. While I indeed plan on forging a few ores I do not wish to bring harm to the sect as previously." Khal replied calmly after realizing why Jole looked so tense and anxious.
"I-I see... Then that is a relief." Jole sighed as if a huge boulder had been just lifted from his shoulder and quickly asked, "So, what kind of ores do you wish to buy this time? Thanks to you, I have been swimming in riches and my shop have been receiving several thousands of new ores in just the past few days!"
"Oh? New ores?" Khal was curious and asked Jole to show him what kind of new ores he got.
And just as Jole has said, there were at least a thousand new ores in his collection, each looked different in shape, size, and appearance. There were even a few that just like the Icemist Mithril he has chosen previously emitted different auras such as heat, wind, pressure, or darkness!
"In just under a week, I gained several hundreds of Middle and High-Quality ores and a bunch of Supreme-Quality ones! Furthermore, I was able to establish a firm connection with a big shot, this I will be given even more in the future! All because of you, naturally."
"That is good to hear." Khal smiled, feeling honestly delighted that he was able to help this much.
"I will take this, this, this, and this one too. Oh, and this looks cool too so I will take this too."
Watching as Khal pointed at different ores one by one with an indifferent face Jole without saying a word nodded and took them into a small box, only placing those few into a separate one that had to be put apiece, just like hiw the Icemist Mithril needed to be put separately.
After walking around the shop and pointing at several ores one after another, reaching almost twenty ores in number, Khal nodded and told Jole that was all he will take with him.
"It was a pleasure to do business with you once again." watching as the number of his Contribution Points increased by several hundreds of thousands, Jole showed an ecstatic smile as if he just won the lottery.
"It is the same for me too." Khal smiled too and after biding his farewell he walked away, his next destination surprisingly being not the newly built Silver Moon where he could forge his ores but a small mountain several miles away from the sect!
Learning from his mistake as he didn’t wish to do the same slip as previously, Khal decided to forge his ores in a faraway location where he didn’t have to worry about others’ safety.
The mountain was big but not to the point where its peak reached the clouds above. It was covered in green and the trees on it looked more like those types of trees that were common in jungles than in ordinary forests. There was even a wide river that flowed down on its side right into a small crystal-clear lake, giving the mountain a rather peaceful appearance.
However, how one should not judge a book by its cover one should not underestimate this forest either as while it looked peaceful on the outside, on the inside, it was filled with so much danger that perhaps not even a Limit Breaker had what it take to survive through even a single night!
Of course, for someone like Khal, who couldn’t even be threatened by a peak Ascender Stage existence, this place was nothing but a small garden where he only needed to walk through and kill anything that came a hundred meters close to him.
And just like that, in just an hour, Khal reached the peak of the mountain which in contrast to the green and dense forest below was only a flat surface with just rocks visible wherever he looked.
There was no grass, no tree, no nothing. Just small rocks and debris.
[This will be a perfect spot for you to forge those ores.]
"Yeah." Khal nodded and quickly waved his hand, immidieatly summoning several items out of his storage ring.
Hammers and anvils of different sizes, various tools that could help him during his forging process, a bellow, and even an entire portable fireplace which although looked small was perfect enough to help him heat his ores.
There were several other things too which Khal believed will be of good use for him once he starts forging, quickly filling the once empty mountain peak with many unique items and objects that an ordinary person would fail to recognise and name even if they were given all the time in the heavens!
He literally turned the mountain peak into his personal smithy where not even peak Limit Breakers dared to set foot! If anyone from the sect would see this sight it was very likely they would not know whether to laugh or cry all of a sudden!
Once he took everything out and put them into places where he could gain access to them fast and easily, Khal nodded with satisfaction and took out his first box from his spatial ring.
It was an ordinary wooden box with no carvings, symbols, or paintings on it. It also had a perfect square shape with edges that were polished in a way where they were slightly curved.
Khal only examined the box for a split second before he opened it, revealing a small crystal that looked like a small piece of mirror, allowing him to see his own reflection in it.
It was the little ore he has seen once during his first time in the Thousand Ore Cave, called the Mirror Crystal.
