The third day of the smithing contest was a major event, unlike the first two days.
Not only did the crowd almost quadruple, but the Central Square was also now jam-packed with boisterous dwarves and members of other races.
The participants competing today were all extremely capable blacksmiths, someone who could at least forge a mid-grade weapon.
In the vast wilderness, where weapons played a major role in life-threatening situations, blacksmiths were the life and soul of the Nine Countries.
They were the backbone of the continent, constantly supplying the various races with armor and weapons.
The important thing was after a certain level, no amount of gold coins or gems were capable of buying certain weapons.
For instance, the spirit weapons, solely used by the dwarven army soldiers and the dwarven royal family.
Putting aside the matter of spirit weapons, even obtaining rare-grade weapons was extremely difficult and required a tremendous amount of wealth, power, and status.
