Chapter 47: The Threat of Fishmen
Chapter 47: The Threat of Fishmen
"Shadia, is that the blacksmith's shop over there?" Rain asked.
Shadia paused from opening the door, glanced down the corridor, and nodded. "Yes, Rain. Are you interested in the blacksmith's shop?"
"Haha, I am quite interested. By the way, is Master Bal there as well?" Rain scratched his head and smiled, continuing his inquiry.
"Yes, several blacksmiths are there. Master Bal is in charge of forging daily supplies," Shadia explained.
"Apart from Master Bal, there's also Blacksmith Basil, who excels in weapon crafting. Additionally, there's another blacksmith who is in charge of the shop, Master Snail, a disciple of Master Valentin from the Capital City. He specializes in armor crafting."
Noticing Rain's keen interest, Shadia provided a more detailed introduction to the blacksmiths within the castle.
"Master's disciple... excels in armor..."
The next moment, Shadia glared at Rain with a slightly displeased expression.

However, this also increased Rain's physique from 6 to 7 points.
To Rain's surprise, three whole days had passed since Saturday when he retrieved a bottle of black camellia oil from Shadia, and the servant training class still hadn't resumed.
But this was something Rain couldn't explain to Shadia.
On Tuesday morning, just as Rain was about to head to the blacksmith's shop again, a guard in chainmail armor approached him. "Rain, Sheriff Hamilton is looking for you. If you're available, come with me to the Town Hall. Sir Hamilton is waiting for you in his office."
This news gave Rain a feeling of light at the end of the tunnel. He had been searching for a blacksmith with advanced forging skills, and now he found one right within the Habsburg Manor.
Rain took the bottle, and before he could even open the cork, he caught a whiff of a peculiar scent—the familiar aroma of black camellia oil.
"Not yet, but it should be soon. Once Master Snail passes the Blacksmith Association's assessment at the end of the year, he'll likely be promoted to Armorer!" Shadia said as she pushed open the door.
Currently, Rain's blacksmith career level was over halfway, reaching Blacksmith Level 1 (52/100), and his Mammoth Breath Technique had also significantly improved to Level 2 (51/100).
After a moment of contemplation, Rain seemed to understand the reason.
Upon hearing the name Snail, Rain's keen senses noticed that Shadia's face seemed to blush slightly, but it quickly faded.
"Knock knock knock!"
The last time, Sheriff Hamilton's injuries were severe, and Rain wanted to check on his recovery, especially since he was his superior.
So, Rain could only reluctantly take the bottle of black camellia oil and head home.
Soon, Rain carefully hid the small black bottle inside his clothes.
After all, training in the Knight Breath Technique and swordsmanship consumed most of his time.
"Here you go, Rain. Your black camellia oil," Shadia said, handing Rain a bottle she had retrieved from the room.
"This..." Rain was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say.
Rain recalled that the last time he practiced the Mammoth Breath Technique, both his physique and strength had improved.
"Enter!" Hearing the familiar voice, Rain opened the door and stepped in. Sheriff Hamilton was still dressed in his noble hunting attire, but his face remained slightly pale. Moreover, Rain detected the scent of some medicinal treatment.
There must be a reason why Hamilton wanted to see him today.
But Rain didn't mind.
"By the way, Shadia, are you familiar with Blacksmith Snail from the blacksmith shop? If it's not too much trouble, could you introduce me to him?"
"Rain asked."
For Rain, quickly leveling up the Blacksmith side profession was equivalent to rapidly improving his combat career! Only then could he enter the realm of the extraordinary sooner.
Rain really wanted to practice Grizzly Bear Swordsmanship simultaneously, but unfortunately, there wasn't a suitable place near his home.
About half an hour later, Rain, drenched in sweat, suddenly received a system notification: [Congratulations! Your Physique attribute has been enhanced!]
"It should have been restored today, but the savage werewolf's claws had a special energy, and it took a lot of effort to treat the wounds. I estimate that it will take another week or so to fully recover."
"Thank you!"
"Good! Let's do it." Rain agreed without hesitation.
However, what Shadia didn't know was that the above situation only applied to ordinary people.
"That's because my Strength attribute is already relatively high, with a full 10 points, while my Physique attribute is relatively lacking, with only 6 points. So, when I practice the Grizzly Bear Breath Technique, the growth in my physique is particularly rapid."
Instantly, a hot, tingling sensation flowed from the applied area, seeping into his skin.
Rain considered that since Snail was in charge of the blacksmith shop, it would be ideal to get in touch with him.
As the soreness in his body had disappeared, Rain decided to go to Boris's blacksmith shop later in the day. He planned to practice the Grizzly Bear Breath Technique at home first. He opened the bottle of black camellia oil, its aroma filling the air, and poured a little of the amber-colored liquid into his palm. Following Miss Claire's previous instructions, he rubbed it warm and applied it to his knees and shoulders.
The day before, he had gone to the town hall but was informed by the guards that Sir Hamilton seemed to have returned to the capital city for recuperation and hadn't come back.
Therefore, everyone who aspired to enter the extraordinary rank would not waste too much energy on other aspects.
But Rain was different; he had a 'hang-up'!
He was very familiar with this scent; every time Rain passed by the town's only apothecary shop, he would smell it.
Additionally, he didn't have a two-handed greatsword; he only had a standard Night Watch half-sword.
After seeing the lady-in-charge's displeased expression once more, Rain knew that the idea of asking Shadia for help was probably not going to work.
"Sir Hamilton, how is your injury recovering?"

"Rain, sit down!"
Rain's eyes lit up, and he quickly grasped the two key phrases, saying, "Does that mean this Snail blacksmith is an Armorer?"
Additionally, it turned out that Bal was the blacksmith responsible for crafting daily necessities, which was why he was in charge of the servant training.
Shadia had this idea.
Hmm! This time, only the Physique attribute was enhanced.
For the past three days, he had spent his days at the blacksmith shop and his nights practicing the Grizzly Bear Breath Technique, making each day fulfilling.
"Rain, a person's energy is limited. I hope you can focus on practicing the Knight Breath Technique and not be distracted, wasting the opportunity given by Miss."
Sir Hamilton waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn't talk more about his injury, and continued, "I called you here because there's an urgent matter that needs your help."
"Do you remember the fishmen I mentioned to you some time ago?"
"Just yesterday, my guards reported again that the evil fin fishmen have expanded their territory to within a few miles of Glimmer Lake."
"We must immediately curb their expansion, or it will be very troublesome if they lay their eggs in Glimmer Lake."
