Velen, after hearing Ethan's words, casually pulled out more than ten copies of the Forging Mastery Compendium and said slowly,
"Since Senator Ethan thinks he's too old, these things are probably useless to you.
"I might as well burn them."
As he spoke, Velen retrieved an Lv9 Furnace from his storage bag and tossed it into the flames.
Ethan, who had been resigned and indifferent, suddenly had his pupils contract sharply.
He had suspected it—but now he was certain.
Velen really had it!
Even though it was just a fleeting glance, Ethan could feel the profound aura radiating from the books.
These were absolutely Upper Plane Universe's Forging Mastery Compendiums!
And judging by Velen's attitude, he clearly had a lot of them.
The man was holding over ten copies—just to burn them!
Ethan's eyes turned red instantly.
For a blacksmith, this was a priceless treasure!
