CHAPTER 91 SYLVER'S HOBBY
Roman watched as Herald began spraying the magical ranked chest armor.
It looked like it was forged in the weapon room of the gods.
Roman would have had a hard time believing if he hadn't witnessed the birth of the armor himself.
The room was still billowing with heat and smoke, but due to the Gerald's Pink flames, the air was breathable.
"Go on, ask your questions"
Herald suddenly said.
"I thought the crystals and the ore had to had to be melted together before being poured into the mould.
Isn't that the normal forging process?"
Roman didn't hesitate and threw a question.
"Yeah, that's the normal process, but as you've seen so far, I'm not normal"
Herald glaced at him with a sly smile.
"To answer your question, after multiple experiments, I discovered that the crystal elements tend to reduce after quality if it's mixed in together with the liquid ore. Though only a little, but it matters.
Let's take this chest armor for example. If I had mixed everything together, the crystal elements that creates the forcefield would be reduced"
Herald explained.
Roman nodded, reliving and replicating the forging process in his head.
Herald caught what he was doing and chuckled.
"It's harder than it looks"
The spraying didn't take time as Herald settled for a red and black paint.
After that, he placed the armor in front of Gerald.
Gerald let out an excited growl.
She took in some air while taking her head backward.
She opened her jaws and instead of flames, pink steam like fog blew out and covered the armor.
Roman felt a strange cold from where he stood.
Herald nodded. The spray paint had solidified. It no longer looked like it was painted but as if it was originally forged with the red and black color.
"Let's test it"
Herald said as he took some steps away from the armor.
His hands glowed with pink spirit energy and he shot it towards the armor.
The armor absorbed the energy and a pink forcefield formed over it.
"You're strong, strike it"
Herald said.
Roman looked at the forcefield and smiled. His eyes glowed red as his spirit energy burst. Red lightning began to surge around his body, concentrating on his right fist.
Herald raised a brow.
"I thought he said he didn't have a spirit beast?
In a blink, he appeared before the forcefield and landed the punch.
BANG!!
The sound echoed across the chamber.
When Roman removed his fist, there was a tiny crack on the spot.
If Roman had added ki, he knew the forcefield would shatter.
"You're a little beast aren't you?"
Herald chuckled.
"Can I try to create another armor?"
Roman asked.
"Are you sure, I told you it's as easy as it looks. It's already the next day "
"Wait... what?!!!"
***************
Sylver found herself standing in front of a large body of water outside the city.
After much encouragement from Roman, she left to search for an interesting hobby.
The city had two entrance, the main front entrance and the back entrance.
The back entrance leads to the King's Castle and it was heavily guarded.
Sylver had somehow wandered towards the back entrance, but denied passage by the guards.
But a particular man walked towards them and claiming that she was with him.
The man headed her a rolled black leather fabric which she slowly accepted.
After passing through the gates together with the man, her eyes landed on the great expanse of water and the... the island.
On the island, a tall hill stood, and on that hill, a towering magnificent castle stood strong, casting an oppressing gaze at the city, like a dark beast watching over the affairs of the city.
It was the King's Castle.
"Pretty isn't it?"
The man that had helped her stood by her side.
Sylver turned to face him properly.
He was a tall muscular man with long dreadlocks.
He had a small scar across his face.
The man smiled at her.
"I'm Jack by the way, and I can tell you're new here, otherwise you would know that this area is restricted with the exception of certain people"
Jack said.
Sylver nodded.
"I'm Sylver, and you're right. Thanks"
"Well since you're here, I'm going have to put you to work"
"What kind of work?"
She raised her brow.
Jack pointed towards the right side and she followed his fingers.
At a far end, she could see multiple large ships, built and maintained for sea travels.
"Are you a pirate?"
Sylver asked cause Jack to laugh.
"I'll explain. Like I said earlier, only certain people are allowed through here, the Sea Voyagers.
We're like a guild. How job is to hunt down sea creatures and transport goods to other cities. It's a really dangerous job because the sea is filled with strange danger beasts.
Sometimes we are graced with the King's presence. He appears whenever we face danger beasts beyond us.
He might even be watching us as we speak"
Jack explained
The had reached the sea port and Slyver could see multiple men carrying out different tasks.
"If you don't like water, I can take you back"
Jack said.
"No it's ok. It's perfect"
Sylver smiled.
She could feel her spirit beast excitement to jump out of the inner space and into the water.
"What's my first task captain?"
She said
