blacksmith

when lucas arrived at the blacksmith shop he walked in and the first thing that happened to him was a strong smell of smoke hitting lucas right in the nose.

the first thing he saw was some fancy weapons and armors hung up on the two walls to the left and right of him on display with all of them being at least silver grade with the price under them being just as extravagant as all of them were at least 5 gold coins.

for reference 100 copper coins made 1 silver and 100 silver made 1 gold.

the price of the equipment on the wall was enough to scare the average player away from buying silver equipment for at least the next half-month.

the prices also made Lucas realize how much the village chief did for him by lending him mr pointy.

once lucas was done looking at the wall of equipment in awe he looked to the desk in the front as he saw a young woman who appeared to be about 16 to 17 politely smiling while looking at him, slightly embarrassing Lucas as he saw he had been ignoring the the young lady the whole time.

after noticing her presence lucas walked to the desk and as he got closer to her he found that she seemed to be quite beautiful. she had black hair, tan skin and a beauty mark under her left eye. lucas also noticed she had some muscle as she was wearing a short sleeved shirt with some thick pants made of a leather that looked thin but durable.

He guessed that she may be working as a blacksmith here as she just seemed to fit the picture of what a beautiful female blacksmith would look like in his mind.

"hello I'm here to get my novice equipment" lucas said as he was the first to speak.

"ok sir if you go to the storage crate in the corner you will see the novice equipment just bring a weapon and an armor and bring it to the front so I can register it and you can be on your way." the lady responded in a nice voice.

after the lady said that lucas thought about something before responding.

"I already received a weapon from the village chief would it be ok if instead of getting a weapon and an armor can I get a better type of armor."

with a look of contemplation she asked.

"would it be alright if I see the weapon before I decide"

"of course" lucas responded as he didn't feel the need to hide the weapon.

when he pulled out the spear mr pointy the eyes of the lady lit up as she said.

"I can't believe the village chief gave you that spear it became his prized possession after his daughter left for the city. since the village chief was willing you to give you mr pointy than well give you a bronze armor out of respect for the village chief"

then she went to a back room and came back holding a thin plate armor that looked quite elegant.

[refined iron armor](bronze, chest plate)

[level 0]

[+10 defense]

[100/100 durability]

after seeing the attributes of the armor lucas was satisfied as the defense boost was pretty good for the equipment grade.

"thanks for the armor. is it ok if I get your name before I leave" Lucas said

the lady politely smiled and said.

"my name is sally smith. My smith family are actually nobles even though we are working in this village. My grandpa sometimes says that one of our ancestors made a legendary weapon for the king and that's when we were bestowed the smith last name by the king since before we were commoners without a last name." sally replied with a very enthusiastic voice as she told the story of he families past.

lucas smiled as he replied to the cheerful woman "nice name sally and before I forget is there anything your smithy would need assistance with?"

Lucas asked this trying to fish out a quest that he felt the smithy should have.

sally replied as she said "normally I wouldn't ask someone at your level to help with this as its a bit much but seeing your spear and armor would you like to help us collect some razor snapping turtle shells it's a level 4 monster with high defense and an F grade anti-armor ability. they're at heavy water lake half a mile north of the village."

[uncommon grade quest "collect turtle shells" triggered

quest info: bring back 20 shells of the razor snapping turtle.

quest reward: 2 silver, +10 favorability with sally and smithy.

quest penalty: -15 favorability with sally and smithy.

quest requirements: none]

[y/n]

lucas silently thought yes as he smirked and spoke to sally

"as you have already given me a bronze grade armor it would be rude of me to deny a lady as beautiful as you when you ask for help. I'll be back soon with those turtle shells you need."

as lucas was saying this he turned around without giving sally a chance to reply as he walked out the smithy to go to heavy water lake.

If he had looked back at that moment he would have seen the breath taking scene of sally's blushing face.
