Once all the seals on the two legacies had been released, Su-ho finally gave a light wave of his hand.
POP! POP! POP!
Not only the ten thousand duplicate soldiers, but also the ten thousand duplicated hammers and ten thousand duplicated furnaces all disappeared.
The only things left behind were the fragments extracted through the furnaces.
"Good work. Go finish up what you were doing."
- Okay.
Jack left as well.
When Su-ho waved his hand once more, the equipment and various fragments scattered across the ground floated into the air and piled up like a mountain in front of him.
"What in the......."
"Huh......."
The smiths couldn't understand what had just happened.
What on earth was all this?
Their gazes naturally poured toward Su-ho, but Su-ho paid them no attention and simply went about his business.
It wasn't as though this was the first or second time he'd received looks like these.
With that in mind, the first thing he did was look for the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City.
But the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City was nowhere to be seen.
It wasn't because there were too many people.
If the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City, the master of this place, had appeared, the crowd would have split apart like the Red Sea the moment he arrived.
'Is there still something missing?'
Spear Venerable came on his own last time.
Thinking that, Su-ho decided to first check the things that needed checking.
For example, the hammer, the necklace, and Smith's Eye.
Information windows appeared before his eyes.
[ Liberated Hammer of the Great Smith ]
- Grade : S++
# A brilliant legacy bestowed by the Great Smith only upon the successor he cherishes most.
# All seals have been released, but final acknowledgment is required.
# The first seal has been released, activating the ability 'Square Extraction,' which harvests part of a target in a precise shape, and the 'Socket' function, which allows harvested fragments to be equipped.

# Socket 4 - Empty.
[ Liberated Necklace of the Great Smith ]
- Grade : S++
# A brilliant legacy bestowed by the Great Smith only upon the successor he cherishes most.
# All seals have been released, but final acknowledgment is required.
# The first seal has been released, activating Flame of the Golden Blacksmith(S++) and Smith's Furnace(S++).
# The second seal has been released.
# The third seal has been released.
# Once all seals are released, a hidden power will be unlocked.
[ Smith's Eye ]
- Grade : S++
# An eye possessed only by successors of the Blacksmith Style.
# Also known as Smith's Eye, and when used, it allows the user to observe the target from a smith's perspective.
# The target's central point becomes visible.
# The effect of Smith's Eye applies to all targets.
# All seals have been released, but final acknowledgment is required.
Su-ho slowly examined the information.
Everything had become S++ grade.
And all the conditions had been fulfilled, yet nothing had been fully released.
It said final acknowledgment was required.
The acknowledgment mentioned here had to be the acknowledgment of the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City.
Su-ho naturally nodded.
There was nothing more he needed to do here.
Now he only needed to speak with the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City.
Then he would tell him the answer.
After closing the information windows, Su-ho examined the Liberated Hammer of the Great Smith, which had been released up to the stage just before completion.
The hammer gave off a strange golden glow.
Its handle had grown quite a bit longer as well.
But it was still a little awkward to call it a two-handed hammer.
At most, it was about the size of a claw hammer with an unusually long handle.
Once it was fully released, it would probably take the form the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City had shown him.
Just as he was thinking that.
"You......! How did you......!"
"Hm?"
A trembling voice.
Su-ho turned his head toward the direction of the sound and saw the child he'd met when he first arrived at Ten Thousand Gold City.
The child who had guided him to the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City.
The boy was pointing at him with an index finger.
And with an extremely angry expression at that.
Why was he angry?
Su-ho approached and asked.
"What's wrong?"
At first, not knowing who the boy was, Su-ho had spoken politely to him.
But not anymore.
After all, the boy didn't seem to have any respect for him either.
At that, the child exploded.
"How did you manage to reach that level?!"
"Hm?"
Su-ho tilted his head.
What was he talking about?
The boy pointed at the hammer.
"That! I'm talking about that! Your hammer is glowing gold right now!"
"This? So?"
"You're not even a smith, so how could you possibly reach that level?! Do you even know what that means?! To us, that's practically everything!"
The child spoke as though venting all his pent-up resentment.
He genuinely seemed furious.
And there was a reason for that.
All the smiths of Ten Thousand Gold City received hammers directly from the Lord of Ten Thousand Gold City, just as Su-ho had.
Those hammers served as proof that they belonged to Ten Thousand Gold City.
