Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Thousand Armor Smity

“Why does this city look so…?” Kai trailed off, the word sticking at the tip of his tongue.

It was well past afternoon now. Kai had to spend much time cleaning the filth off himself but not before pouring 5 more drops of the Light Neurotoxin in the vial. After bathing in scalding hot water, Kai had feasted on a sumptuous meal. Lamb stew, roasted mutton and venison, hard bread, and a jug of wine to wash them down.

After an hour of that meal, Kai had found himself strong enough to take out 5 more drops.

This crazed use of a Skill that had been costing him HP and MP, was bound to show its effect. His eyes were sunken, his skin pale. His sickened look was enough to scare small children. But somehow, the Blood Demon still had a certain charm about him.

A nice hot bath had brought about freshness in the skin, regardless of its paleness. The long black greatcoat he was wearing now brought about the color of his white hair. They flowed down his shoulders like a waterfall of honeyed milk. His eyes, though deepened, gave him a ferocity unknown to the boys of his age.

None could deny that as long as Kai didn’t show his true nature, he could be the most charismatic figure wherever he went. Even in this place, young and old, all women couldn’t help but take second glances at him. Some had controlled their emotions, but many blushed, their faces gaining the color of ripe peaches.

“… so unimpressive?” Roland said, completing Kai’s words. He was in his usual attire. A half unbuttoned shirt, showing his gleaming oiled chest, and loose pants. Men scattered at the first sight of his tattoo, not the one on his face, but the one on his right arm. The silver helm of the Silver Hunters Guild was the best warning sign anyone could hope for.

“Yes.” Kai was indeed unimpressed. Accept a few signs of otherworldly power and the occasional stroll of Mana around him, Kai could scarcely say it was some kind of magical place. Children were playing in the streets. Most were naked or had a piece of cloth around their groins. There seemed to be no shortage of brothels, and the women were so open that one had even run at Kai with her breasts in her hands.

It’s just a village, Kai reflected. An enormous village.

“What did you expect?” Roland asked, shoving a drunk man dozens of feet away. “It’s all the same up to the third floor. Here lie the people who are too afraid to die, and too unworthy to ascend. The third floor would have also been the same if it wasn’t for a Set Lord being present there.”

Kai followed Roland as the burly man took a sharp right turn. . Two men were having a fistfight there, their nose was broken and their fists bloody. “10 Mission Credits,” said one man, watching from a corner. “30 MC on the baldy,” said another. A third well-dressed man rushed to them to accept the transfer. Kai passed by them, whiffing the dark, sour smell of blood.

“You know what upper floors say about the 1st Set?” Roland said, giving Kai a look that could have meant anything.

“What?”

“They say the Primordial Tower is nothing but a latrine shaft. And when the Emperor takes a shit, it falls here.”

Kai’s eyes narrowed.

“But…” Roland continued, halting in front of a gigantic, round building. “So what if this shit doesn’t touch the upper floors? It leaves behind its smell all the same, don’t you think?”

That wasn’t a question, so Kai didn’t bother to answer. His eyes were planted on the banner fluttering high over the multistory building. Two silver longswords crossed behind a round golden shield upon a gray background. It was ancient, Kai thought, feeling a hint of Mana seeping out of it.

“Thousand Armor Smithy,” Roland said. “Follow me. I have already booked a meeting.”

This place was so big, and crowded, that Kai felt like he was a bee and the building was a beehive. The buzzing noise was anything but comprehensible. No one was looking or hearing anyone, but running from here to there always seemed to be in a hurry.

“Jack!” Roland shouted at a half-naked muscular man. His skin was black, and his big head covered up brilliantly for his short legs.

“Marine Roland, my friend,” Jack shouted back, shifting many eyes towards them. “Still searching for One Piece, are you? Haha!”

For the first time, Kai noticed a twitch at the corners of Roland’s lips. “Don’t mock me, Jack,” Roland said, shaking his thick hands with the guy. “I have brought you a customer. The one I told you about, remember?”

Jack’s smile vanished, and he turned to look at Kai. “He?!” Jack said, his thick eyebrows crushing his forehead. “He is just a boy!”

Kai stared into Jack’s eye, almost as if daring him to call Kai a boy again. But Roland shook his head and whispered something in Jack’s ears. “OK, Ok! You don’t have to remind me, Roland,” Jack said, licking his lips. “Come with me.”

Kai found himself standing in a spacious smithy with heat billowing out of hearth and many men and women hammering here and there. It was hot. Boiling! But Kai was no stranger to this hotness. No wonder they are half-naked, Kai thought, feeling the sweat buds trailing down his back.

“Let me see it,” Jack said, pointing at an open area.

Kai didn’t hesitate. One sweep of his hand, and the carcass appeared. The thundering sound of hammers vanished suddenly. Jack’s jaw dropped, and even Roland looked rather shaken.

“What the…” Jack almost cursed. “Where did you get that? And how?”

“I found it as it is,” Kai lied, saying no more. His tone was sharp enough to mean that he won’t have any more questions about it.

Jack approached the carcass and caressed the Great Redshank’s red-black bill. “Magnificent! I can make a top Easy Grade Spear out of this. I will be famous. Haha!”

Now that brought out Kai’s fury. What did he say? A spear? Is he mocking me? Kai’s eyes blazed. In one step, he towered over the armorer and lifted his chin. His many-colored eyes looked into Jack’s soul, making it shiver like never.

“Sabers.” Kai’s voice had a chill of winter rain. “I want Sabers!”
