Chapter 49 - Death Style

Having the product necessary, Juri looked at Rean and asked.

"I will be going to the City tomorrow to rent a workshop. Can Erkil make this kind of Sword on his own?"

Rean nodded.

"By the time you are back, he should be able to reproduce this effect. The rest is up to you whether you can convince the Zafa Bank to help us or not."

Juri nodded, excited.

"Very well. First, we will need to make these Steel weapons gain recognition. Once the word spreads, there will be eyes aiming at our product formula. But it will be at this moment that I will bring the Zafa Bank in. Whether they want it or not, they will need to recognize this new metal's value."

Juri took a deep breath after that.

"Alright, now we need to discuss your part of the profit. As the creator of this metal, how much you wish?"

Rean smiled and extended three fingers.

"30% is more than enough."

Juri and Alanda were taken aback.

"Only 30%? This Sword definitely can be sold for at least 300 Spirit Stones, you know? Not to mention that all the materials are ordinary. Let alone 300 Spirit Stones, even a single Spirit Stone would be more than enough to buy the stuff necessary to create it. You can ask for some more. I won't mind even if you ask for 50%."

Rean shook his head.

"30% is more than enough. This amount of Spirit Stones can be used for cultivation at our current levels without having to care about running out. As for using it to buy other things, I don't have anything I want at the moment. Besides, don't forget that the Zafa Back will ask at least 20 to 30% as well. Considering the earnings of the Tribe as a whole, the remaining value of every equipment won't make that much of a difference."

Juri couldn't help but feel a little emotional. As someone who did everything for the Tribe, such words really work well on him.

"Very well, 30% it is. Make sure to teach Erkil correctly."

Juri then looked at Erkil and ordered.

"Erkil, select two trustworthy blacksmiths, and have them practice it as well. After I rent a Workshop and come back, I will bring you three to the City straight away for you to start working. If you are worried about your family, I will allow you to bring them as well. But you must not mention a single word about the Steel equipment, understood?"

Erkil's eyes shined, and he immediately nodded.

"Leave it to me, there are two youngsters that I'm quite proud of, they will be perfect for this job. Better than that, they are not married, so they don't have a family to bring together. I will immediately call them over after we finish here."

Rean and Juri then discussed a few more things before the group separated. In the and, Juri lost his patience and left for the City while it was still night. The man simply couldn't sleep at all.

Rean, Erkil, and his two apprentices then returned to the Blacksmith Workshop of the Tribe. Alanda arranged for other Wind Element Affinity warriors to work together with them too. For the next week, Rean would make sure that they remember the entire process of creating Steel.

Back on Roan's side, he and Alanda continued to teach the kids. Sister Orb said that anything capable of making enormous Tribe changes would be rewarded with Destiny Points. In that case, Roan decided to compile his Sword Style into a book before passing it to Alanda.

"Pass it to the other warriors who like to use swords. It should help them overcome many obstacles during their practice. If there is any question, you just need to ask me later."

Alanda nodded and took a look at the book. Roan had already proved to Alanda that his sword style is better. But after checking the book, he had to admit that it was a lot more profound than he expected.

"Impressive. By the way, how do you call this Sword Style?"

Roan was taken aback by that question.

"Name? I've learned it by myself, so I don't really have a name for it. Let's see... Oh well, just call it Death Style."

Alanda's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Isn't it too generic?"

Roan glanced at Alanda.

"Who cares? Since I say it is Death Style, then it is Death Style. That's all."

Alanda sighed and just left.

Roan also changed the fighting classes, adding wooden swords for practice. In fact, he also put other weapons for the kids interested like wooden staffs, daggers, spears, etc. He also asked for those wooden weapons to be made according to the kids' sizes, so they were a lot smaller. There wasn't a single type of weapon that Roan didn't try before. The only difference is that he had never incorporated Spiritual Energy into them, so he had to change a few things.

Still, the significant majority of the kids are in the Blood Replacement Stage of the Body Transformation Realm. It will take them quite a few years to be able to bring Spiritual Energy out of their bodies. Because of that, he was able to teach them according to what he knew from his past life. There was no need to use the changes for Spiritual Energy.

Not too surprisingly, most of the kids selected Swords. Even those who showed interest in the other wooden weapons ended changing them in the end. The only exceptions in the entire group were Rivio, who seemed to like the Spear a lot, and Inna Malaka, who preferred the staff.

Because of that, Roan had to separate a particular time just for those two. He didn't mind, though. Without Rean around, cultivation was quite slow anyway, so he might as well wait. As much as he doesn't like it, the difference without using Rean's Light Element to achieve a balance between elements is just too high.

Rivio's talent for Spear could be said to be good. So it was nice to see his improvement. However, Inna Malaka was really a monster. She absorbed everything he taught her about the staff like a sponge. Not only that, but she seemed to have a lot of fun while using it.

'No wonder Juri said that the Sects would come for her if they knew. The difference between her and Rivio is just too great. Be it intelligence, cultivation, or talent with weapons, she is far above him. It's impressive what the difference of a single aptitude level can do. I wonder just how frightening those Red and Purple Aptitudes are.'

Just like that, Rean and Roan were kept busy during the entire week.
