…………………………………..


Farborg was more than 700 miles away from the Rhine City. It was a major city that had the population of 200,000. Because of its strategic location, it was the second tier military city of the Rhine Alliance in the western borders. Even more so, it had the great role in impeding the magical creatures danger from the magical forest rushing into the fertile Pas Plain.

The Farborg was situated in the middle of the flatlands, and the Pas River surrounded the city. More than 100 miles to the South of the magical forest, Fort Farborg became the most important supply depot for many adventurers and monster hunters.

The area of the Magical forest was almost equivalent to the entire area of Rhine Alliance. It was vast, reaching to the Pyrenees in the west, sea in the south, and covering the entire Red rock peninsula in the east. The total area of the forest was about 1 million square kilometers.

Since there was rarely any large scale of monsters activities in the edge of the forest, numbers of trade route were in those outer rims of the forest, therefore also becoming the paradise for thieves and bandits.

The "Hammer of War God" weapons workshop had been open for a month. Initially, the given name with such rich dwarf characteristic was for nothing but to benefit from association with inborn artisan dwarfs, but now there was indeed a dwarf with his four apprentices working in the workshop inside.

The weapon workshop occupied a three-story building, located in the most prosperous neighborhood of Farborg. The first floor was allocated as the weapons storefront, the second floor was the adventurer's paradise, and the third floor, frost was originally intended to be used as a laboratory, but it was rejected by everyone, and was used as a VIP room for some of the big customers and displayed some of the high-quality products by Frost.

………………………………..

A small building not far from the “Hammer of War God”, was where Rogge usually spends his weekdays, and where Frost’s workshops and laboratories were located. At the moment, in the spacious laboratory, which was more than 200 square meter wide, there was a large and complex magical array drawn in the ground, which was emitting a colorful halo in the room. In the middle of the array, bluish-white magical flames were hissing and engulfing several pieces of handcrafted golden knight armor, forging them in the magic flame till it was red hot.

Frost carefully took out a piece of armor with a pair of iron tongs and placed an inscription with magic silver in a specific position. 

A burst of flame flashed, and the inscription was firmly integrated with the armor. Rogge busily handed over a little bottle of blue liquid, which was full of an adult Wyvern blood.

Wyverns were fierce, agile, and had a good magical protection. It was very hard to deal with an intermediate-level magic. Many parts of the body can be used as magical materials, and blood can increase magical protection to a small extent.

Magic silver, because of its very good ductility and excellent absorption of magic, is an indispensable material for making magical instruments.

However, because it is relatively rare, the price is not cheap. The price of general magic silver is about ten times that of the same weight of gold.

When the blue Wyvern blood was dropped in the piece of armor, the armor piece, like sponge absorbing water, rapidly absorbed the blue blood. That piece thus becoming shining light blue.

Rogge took a piece of armor and put it in the flame. After all the pieces were processed, Frost recited an incantation toward the flame in the array, and a pair of light blue wings were gradually formed in the magic flame. The wind wing went around the flame, slowly rising upward, it started to go faster and faster.

“Boom” a sound rang out, and flames shot up, rising suddenly like the tide. However, when that flame reached the ceiling, there was a white flash and it was blocked from exploding out of the room by a magical array placed there. 

Firestorm came and disappeared in a blink of an eye. 

Leaving behind few blue pieces of armor on the ground. After the fusion with wind magic, the weight of the entire piece is reduced by 60% due to the support of the magical energy of the wind.

………………………….

At the request of Rogge, each piece of armor was added with a little magic silver and Frost once again cast an ordinary illumination magic over it. This time, the entire armor began to appear translucent light blue; and the inscription formed by the magic silver just radiated a blue light.

"Hey, this looks much more attractive, Golde! You came just at the right time; I wanted to talk to you.”

“Make these armor pieces into half-length of the knight armor, yes, this is the style of the most popular Paladin armor this year.”

“Oh, and the chain connecting the pieces should be of gold.  The helmet and the armor, add some golden pattern decoration in the edges. Call Franco, he has the similar knight armor, that you can base this armor.” Rogge cheerfully shouted.  

Dwarf Glode actually thought otherwise: “That may not be good. The armor pieces should be intertwined together with fine steel wire! The most important thing for armor is protection! Protection! I don’t want to ruin my reputation!”

“Then put a layer of gold outside the steel wire! Then it will be ok, right?”

“You know what? Put the layer of gold in all of the chains from now on. The most important thing is that this armor should fetch us good money. Add this layer of gold and you can have a decade worth of ale!”

“Tell Lawrence to select a cape that is worthy of this armor, the best. Glode, you have till the day after tomorrow to get this done!! If I don’t see the armor, forget about drinking!”

“Yes, this armor should be called the Blue Crystal armor, of course, the name will not be carved beforehand, if the guest wants another name, you engrave their choice of the name in the armor. Ten gold coins per word.”

Carrying the pieces, Glode went downstairs mumbling. Between conscience and the ale, he finally chose the latter. His mouth cursing: "Vampire! Pig!! Miser! Man shaped dragon!”

Rogge insisted on selling only the high quality, and high price products. His argument was: "The person who can afford these equipment does not care about money! As long as it is something that looks good, they won’t care how much.”

“What kind of people are our best customers? Not those who have money and who can judge the quality of goods, but the sons of nobles and aristocrats who have money but nothing to spend money on, such as Lawrence. Who does not want to earn their money? So, we do not sell the right ones, but sell only expensive ones.”

Secondly, all the armors that Rogge produced paid great attention to the appearance, decoration and some unrealistic gimmicks. For example, this blue crystal armor was extremely lightweight, it was only the equivalent to the weight of heavy leather armor. 

The physical defense and magic defense effects were as good as a magic armor.  But that illumination inscription placed in the armor, after the fusion only had the role to make this Blue crystal armor appear with the effect of translucent, lighter, softer and attractive, but without the slightest practical effect. As for those decorations that Franco designed, they instead increase the weight, which didn’t help in any way in a combat.

However, Rogge said: 'This armor you see, this is what paladins wear. Is it sold to a real Paladin?  Of course not. Which Paladin will wear this? Who we want to sell is to that the nobleman's son who wants to be a Paladin, do you expect them to venture into dangerous caves? They will put this on to go hunting. So style and taste are very more important, which will let them act like a hero in front of those ignorant girls.

“Hammer of war God” is not preparing to become a major arms dealer, but to become like the purple Angel jewelry, Shangri-La hot spring, a brand for noble.”

Everyone listened speechlessly. Since then “Vampire Rogge” nickname spread like a wildfire.
