"You hide well. We didn’t even notice that you were here until you made a Supreme Ranked weapon. The Elders of the Pack noticed, and called the Pack Leader so he could get first dibs on the item if it was something that suited him."
Rue laughed. "Well, I can certainly make one that suits him. However, the ones that I’ve already made are for the ladies of the Guild. Gifts to celebrate their advancements. I will start making items for the rest of the Guild soon, and that will naturally start with the Pack Leader.
And yourself as well, Clan Leader.
I understand that the Darklight Host and the New Home Merchant Clan have a tight alliance, and it wouldn’t do to make you wait when Supreme Ranked craftsmen are so rare."
"And that’s exactly why the appearance of a newly created Supreme Ranked item within the Guild House caught the attention of the others. The barriers likely kept the others in the store from noticing, but they’re not set to block the senses of the Darklight Host members."
Rue realized what had happened.
She had thought that this room was fully shielded, to keep the residual shockwaves and energy pulse from affecting the outside world. But it was open to the perceptions of the Guild. So, even with the fluctuations contained to the room, they would still sense it.
In the future, she would ask Tian if there was somewhere even more secure for them to make items that they actually wanted or needed to keep a secret.
If Karl could make a place like this Guild House, he could certainly make a private crafting space separate from everything else.
Of course, if she had just asked, Tian would have taken her to one of the many such spaces they had, so that outside interference didn’t distract the workers. It was just an oversight on his and Karl’s part that they had been doing it in the main room of the crafting section and not somewhere more private.
Rue’s words had caught Nerissa’s attention.
"You speak as if you have the materials to make a number of Supreme Ranked weapons. Did you manage to salvage something from the attack? I had heard that they looted everything that was left in your compound."
Rue shrugged. "I had some things with me, as is natural.
But mostly, it’s that Karl taught me young Mister Tian’s [Earth Manipulation] skill, and that let me create the basic core of the weapon without the need to farm and harvest Supreme Ranked metals.
It’s not perfect, but with the right buffs, I can still make high-quality weapons with minimal farming.
All that I need are the elemental stones, and some of the rare materials that [Earth Manipulation] won’t make. But if you’re willing to accept strictly buffs that can be done with stone and metal items, then I’m much less limited."
"Of course it was Karl. If anyone was going to cause this level of casual disruption of social norms, it had to be the Avatar of the World Dragon."
Karl leaned over to Tian. "Do you think that she means that as a compliment or not?"
"Fifty-fifty. She doesn’t look too mad about it."
The little fox giggled, and Nerissa smiled. It was clearly an insult, but one that Karl wouldn’t actually be upset about. Because he knew perfectly well that his actions disrupted the world around him, and he simply didn’t care.
Nerissa winked at the little fox. "I think that nobody will be mad, even if the options are greatly limited. Getting Peerless Grade Immortal items is already exceedingly rare.
