Applying for a blacksmith?
The man turned around to scrutinize the young boy thoroughly, thinking he must have misheard, "Blacksmith?"
"That's right."
The man was deeply skeptical, although the boy was tall and looked somewhat strong, his face seemed young, at most sixteen or seventeen.
Forging is not something you can fake; it's the real skills hammered out blow by blow. Many apprentices spend three to five years doing odd jobs, and without ten years of practice, they probably can't even forge a twenty-refined weapon.
But since the Forging Workshop is open for business and the notice was posted at the end of last year, the man couldn't refuse directly and ruin their reputation. Anyway, everyone needs to be tested before joining the workshop, so let him have a go.
"Alright, since you're persistent, come with me." The man had no choice but to impatiently lead the boy into the Forging Workshop.
Whoosh, whoosh!
