Delun, the best blacksmith

The distance between their cave and the city was pretty big, maybe around twenty miles. Jong Ji flayed around three hours before reach the city. Maybe Jong would have reached the city much faster if he had not carried the dragon's baby, but he arrived in front of the city at noon anyway. He remembered the last time when people saw him how flying, so he landed. Jong Ji doesn't want to scare the people in the city. 

The main hall was in the center of the city. On the way, Jong Ji passed by several markets and shops, also on the streets, there were many people. 

This time Jong Ji didn't scare the people, but the dragon's baby did.

After twenty minutes of walking Jong Ji arrived in the main hall, he knocked on the door and entered.

In the main hall were every clan elder and the clan leader. When they saw Jong Ji and the dragon's baby they were shocked.

" Jong Ji, what are you doing here?" Lei was pretty shocked.

" I come here because I have some things to do. As I can see clan elders and the clan leader are here, which means that there is a problem." Jong Ji was interested in the problem they have.

" This time there is a new rule for the treasure hunt. Each team leader should bring a treasure to one of the clans. We need to give a treasure to the Quin clan." The clan leader explained the situation to Jong Ji.

" So what's the problem? The Lang clan is the strongest among the five clans. We have many treasures which we didn't use." Jong Ji was a little confused.

" The problem was that our team leader wasn't here so we panicked a little, but now you are here so you can go to bring the treasure to the Quin clan," Lei explained the problem to the Jong Ji.

" No, I can't go!" 

" Jong Ji, is there any reason?" The elder Yao asked.

" I have my reasons, but I can't say them yet. I have a solution, Just, when the treasure needs to be given to the Quin clan?" The reason why Jong Ji doesn't want to go to the Quin clan is that he wants to kill Quen Qi( the friend who betrayed him) on the Drakoniks island, so they( Quin clan) can't see him yet.

"Around two days. Jong Ji, isn't that a dragon baby?" Lei asked.

" This is baby of the armored earth dragon, we killed the armored earth dragon and catch this baby. I came here because I want to forge something from this baby and his dead mother, so I need the best blacksmith. I hope that brother Lei can help me." Jong Ji trusted in elder Lei.

" Armored earth dragon! How did you kill something that strong?" Lei asked in shock.

"Lei take Jong Ji to the Delun( blacksmith)!" The clan leader ordered.

" Clan leader you mean the best blacksmith in the Lang clan?" Yao Asked in shock.

 "Is there any other Delun?" The clan leader was a little angry.

" I'm sorry clan leader. I disrespected you please forgive me." The elder Yao was scared that the clan leader can punish him because of that little disrespect.

" Also, Jong Ji before you said that you have a solution, can you please tell us your solution. Who will give the treasure to the Quin clan?" Clan leader asked.

" I will go with brother Lei to Delun, and I will tell him what I want him to forge. After that, I will go back to Ghost mountain and took Gouwei. In other words, the team leader will be Gouwei."

" Gouwei?" The elders were shocked but the most elder Bai.

" Ohh... Why Gouwei?" The clan leader asked.

" Because he can fly, so he will come in the shortest time. Also, he is the grandson of the elder, and Gouwei is third tier spirit realm so, the Quin clan will think that our team is weak so they also will tell other clans that our team is weak. What mean, we will kill two birds with one stone." Jong Ji explained his plan to the clan leader.

" Good! Very good!" The clan leader was pleased.

"Then I will leave first!" Jong Ji and Lei went out of the main hall and began to move towards the Delun smithy.

On the way, Jong Ji asked.

" Brother Lei, is this Delun that as good blacksmith as the clan leader and elder Yao said?"

" Of course. He is the best blacksmith in our Lang clan, not only in the Lang clan but also the best blacksmith on the entire continent. He even can forge a tenth-tier artifact!" Lei was proud of Delun.

" Only tenth-tier artifact, he can't even forge a low-level treasure?" Jong Ji was disappointed.

" Only? What do you know? There are twelve tiers, and then after tiers are the treasures because refining the treasures is too difficult the best way is to kill monsters and gain treasures!" Lei tried to explain how difficult is to forge a treasure.

" Huh... I still think that he is not that amazing like the clan leader and elder Yao said." Jong Ji was convinced that Delun is not that amazing.

They walked fast, so before they noticed, they were in front of the Delun's smithy. The smithy was very large, about five meters high and about fifty meters long. The door was about three meters high, also made of iron. Jong estimated that the door was quite heavy and at least five people were needed to open the door. Even before they could get inside, Jong could feel the hammer hitting the hot iron. Then they enter. Inside the smithy, there were around thirty muscular blacksmiths. Jong Ji was still looking around when a muscular blacksmith came.

" Elder Lei!" Тhe blacksmith greeted Lei.

" Jong Ji this is Deming. Delun's son."

Jong Ji and Deming greeted each other.

"Deming, you are too formal. Deming, can you take us to your father?" Lei asked.

"Of course, I can, just you can't bring the animals to the smithy." 

" Ohh... You mean on this baby dragon?" Jong Ji asked.

" Dragon!" Deming shouted. Then everyone stared at the baby dragon. Panic and fear began to spread throughout the smithy.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt anyone." Jong tried to calm Deming down.

 "How can I not worry!? This is a real dragon! Why did you bring him here? "Deming was quite upset.

" I trust to Jong Ji. He will explain when you take us to your father." Lei supported Jong Ji.

"All right, follow me." Deming led the way. In the corner of the smithy there was a small room, inside this room there was only one table with a hammer. Deming pulled the hammer. 

" What now?" asked Jong Ji.

 "Now we just have to wait." Deming was still upset about the baby dragon (armored dragon earth). 

There was nothing for a few minutes, but then the wall started to move out of nowhere. 

" What is happening?" This time Jong Ji was a little upset. 

"It's nothing. This wall is a door that leads to a hidden room."Lei replied. When the door was fully open, Jong Ji saw the hidden part of the smithy. It was a big room, at first glance it could be seen that it was a room of blacksmith. The iron was everywhere. The stone walls were black because of the giant furnace for heating iron. Next to a furnace, there was a big vessel for water built of stone, where iron could be cooled.

Inside the room, there was only one person. Jong Ji guessed that that person is Delun. Delun wasn't like Jong Ji imagined. Delun was high around one meter and sixty centimeters. He was pretty muscular, like every blacksmith.

" Father, the elder Lei is here." Deming very respected his father, much more than he needed.

" Lei which wind carries you here?" Delun said this with a big smile.

"The clan leader just gave me an order to bring someone here," Lei replied.

" Senior!" Jong Ji greeted Delun.

" Is this the person you bring?" Delun asked.

" Yes. This is Jong Ji an elite discipline. I bring him here because he wants you to forge something for him."

"Ohх ... What do you want kid?" Delun asked.

 "I want a high-level artifact, at least the seventh level. I want a bow and at least twenty arrows from the bones of the armored earth-dragon. I also want armor for four wings made of armored earth-dragon leather. "Jong explained and explained what he wanted. 

 Delun put his hand on his chin and thought. "Forging them is not a problem, but materials ... "

"Materials are not a problem!" Jong Ji took out of his magic bag the seventeen bones and skin of the armored dragon-earth that they killed.

" The bones are enough, but the leather... I am afraid that with this leather I will be able to forge armor for only two wings." Delun shook his head.

Тhe dragon baby was behind Jong Ji. Jong Ji pulled him forward where Delun could see him." This is an armored earth-dragon baby. I think that this will be enough."

" This is more than enough!" Delun was excited because of forging these artifacts.

"Then, how many days will you take to forge these artifacts?" Jong Ji asked.

Delun again put his hand on his chin and thought." Around two or three days."

" Alright! That's good!" Jong Ji was excited.

" I just wonder, will you have enough money to pay?" Delun asked.

"Don't worry Delun, everything will be paid by the clan," Lei replied." Just, how much we need to pay?"

" It's not too much. Around fifty gold lings." Delun replied

" Fifty gold lings!" At that moment Lei froze.

" Brother Lei, are you okay?" Jong Ji asked, but Lei was still in shock.

" Are you robbing us!?" Lei asked. From the tone of his voice, it could be noticed that he was still in shock.

" That is the right amount."

" Alright, just I will remember this!' Lei went out from the hidden room.

" Sure! No problem!" Delun shouted this to Lei.

" Then In two days, I will come."

" Alright, the artifacts will be finished when you come," Delun said this and Jong Ji went out. 

On the exit of the smithy, Lei waited for Jong Ji.

" Are you leaving?" Lei asked.

" Yes, I will go in the Ghost mountain and come back with Gouwei.' Jong Ji replied.

" But the night will fall soon." Lei was worried for Jong Ji's safety.

" I guess that I will arrive in the mountain at midnight. Now I leave" Jong Ji activated his wings and started to fly towards Ghost mountain.
