The Devil's Cage

Huuhaa! Huuhaa!

Kieran panted heavily .

He finally calmed down a few seconds later .

Yet he agreed to the price right away . Even though his soul of a scrooge was roaring in pain, he never even doubted that Blacksmith would make a false quotation .

During the battle with Black h.e.l.l Banning, Blacksmith stood for him without asking any questions .

It was enough for Kieran to look highly of her since then . In addition to the communication throughout the game, Kieran knew that Blacksmith"s character wouldn"t do such a thing .

. . .

Blacksmith: Bring the equipment u wanted to be embedded to Emma Street 99th .

Blacksmith: Ghastly Sapphire is different from other stones . The user has to be present during the embedding process .

2567: OK!

. . .

After replying with a clear answer, Kieran turned to his points tab .

[Points 310,000; Skill Points: 75; Golden Skill Points: 1; Golden Attribute Points: 7]

"300,000 Point needed for the embedding, what I have left… is enough!"

Kieran was calculating his expenses before he looked at Lawless .

"I need one or a pair of gloves that are at least Rare or above . It must not affect the nimbleness of my fingers and has to have great defensive stats . I can pay about 50 Skill Points and if the equipment is good enough, I can raise it to 75!" Kieran stated his request .

Kieran gave his based price to Lawless since there was no need to hide anything anymore between them .

Lawless nodded . After he knew what Kieran needed, he quickly made a move .

. . .

After 30 minutes, an orange glowing fingerless leather glove appeared .

[Name: Seattle Right Hand]

[Type: Glove]

[Rarity: Rare]

[Attack/ Defense: Strong]

[Attribute: Hand s.h.i.+eld]

[Effect: None]

[Prerequisite: Hand-to-hand Combat (Grand Master)]

[Remark: Defense is not the strongest but it will keep you alive!]

. . .

[Hand s.h.i.+eld: The glove will transform into a tower s.h.i.+eld temporarily . It has Extreme defense level and lasts for 5 seconds, 3/day]

[Note: Gather Seattle Left Hand to activate its hidden effect]

. . .

"Nice!" Kieran commented .

The glove that cost 70 Skill Points was worth such a comment . If the Skill Points were converted to Points, it would have been around 21,000 Points, but the Extreme defense of [Hand s.h.i.+eld] compensated the huge amount spent .

Kieran guessed that Lawless utilized his personal network to get the glove . Otherwise, it was impossible for him to locate the glove that fitted his requirement so perfectly .

"Together?" Kieran asked Lawless .

"Sure!" Lawless answered .

However, when Kieran and Lawless arrived at Emma Street 99th, Lawless was rejected to enter .

Blacksmith told Kieran clearly that only he alone was allowed .

"So cold! So heartless!" Lawless was leaning back at the entrance of the garden outside the two-story western buildings and exclaiming his rants .

No matter how Lawless ranted, Kieran didn"t stop walking .

Kieran has his priorities straight . There were times for games and there were times for work .

He waved at Lawless before entering . Kieran even sized up the delicately decorated garden that was filled with plantations before reaching the door . He knocked .

Tssk .

The door was opened and Kieran entered the room .

He was then in awe of the clean and simple decorations inside . In fact, frankly speaking, there was nothing in the room except for a giant round table with a double strapped school bag and [Ghastly Sapphire] .

The tall Blacksmith in her red mantle was standing beside the table with her hands on the table .

The moment Kieran walked in, her gaze didn"t leave Kieran; Kieran also didn"t stop looking at her .

Even though both of them communicated for quite some time, it was their second meeting in person and the first time alone and private .

Kieran quickly kept away his gaze and took out [Seattle Right Hand] .

His educational background forbade him to gaze recklessly at a lady without hostility . More so, he knew that Blacksmith was a person of few words with a cold att.i.tude .

Maybe it was her nature or maybe it was her way to differentiate between the real and virtual . But regardless of what the reason was, Kieran had to respect it .

"Glove? I thought it was some armor of sorts!" Blacksmith was stunned a little when she saw the glove but that was all she asked . Before Kieran could answer, she started the embedding procedure .

A bunch of rubies was taken out from her bag and the rubies were ignited in Blacksmith"s hand together with [Ghastly Sapphire] .

That slim and fair palm of hers turned into a furnace and even more rubies were thrown inside .

Kieran was speechless when he saw the scene . He finally knew why this round of embedding would cost 300K points . The sole fact that Blacksmith had to burn away almost 30 pieces of rubies before him was enough .

A single ruby cost 2000 Points or 1 Skill Points but the price increased when coupled with more rubies . 30 pieces of rubies put together were roughly 200K Points already and the procedure still wasn"t finished yet .

Kieran was silently counting the number of rubies that she had to burn away . When the number rose to 40, Kieran"s heart started beating faster .

When the number reached 50, Kieran knew that he had owed Blacksmith another debt of grat.i.tude .

Obviously, the cost of the embedding was a friendly price .

Kieran knew that a debt of grat.i.tude was the kind that was the hardest to repay .

Fortunately, when Blacksmith burnt up a total of 50 rubies, the embedding process ended .

Blacksmith took up [Seattle Right Hand] and placed her burning palm over it .

The orangey glow unique to the equipment started to s.h.i.+ne brilliantly and suddenly, another dash of gold was mixed into the brilliance .

The golden glow then replaced the orange glow with the speed of a thunderclap .

A golden glow was s.h.i.+ning brilliantly . The glove"s rarity was enhanced to Legendary .

Kieran than looked at Blacksmith with a strange gaze as he knew what happened .

The abilities that she showed had far surpa.s.sed Kieran"s range of knowledge .

Kieran wasn"t a newbie anymore . Although he didn"t learn any embedding skills, he had a general grasp of the process . With his knowledge, none of the others could perform what Blacksmith has just done .

"Raising the equipment"s rarity through embedding? And the methods of burning the same color gemstones… Is it some kind of skill or talent?" Kieran wondered in his heart .

He didn"t forget to express his grat.i.tude .

"Thanks!"

Kieran didn"t immediately check the enhanced details of [Seattle Right Hand] but he looked at Blacksmith who seemed exhausted from the process and thanked her with all his heart .

"It"s just mutual benefits . My talent needed such a grinding process to level up further . I hope you can help me find more gemstones of similar ranks to [Ghastly Sapphire] . I"ll give you…"

Blacksmith was speaking softly but her calm tone was interrupted as her voice halted all of a sudden .

The system blur prevented her face from showing but her eyes were filled with astonishment . The clear eyes behind the red-framed spectacles were looking at Kieran with an unbelievable gaze . More precisely she was staring at the small b.u.t.ton-sized black stone in Kieran"s palm .

"If you don"t mind… We can continue . " Kieran said calmly like how Blacksmith was talking to him .
