Chapter 35: Three Golden Equipment, Level a City Building Mission
As a Legendary Boss, William didn't have too many requirements for his equipment now.
Because beginner equipment was just for temporary usage.
After he found the mythril mine, William could be counted as a wealthy person. However, he wasn't interested in wasting the material to make some low-level equipment.
After all, William understood that if he didn't get himself into trouble, for the time being, it would be very hard for him to die under Lautner's protection.
Also, his leveling-up speed would be quite fast, so there wasn't a point in making any equipment.
Although any equipment could be decomposed and its materials regained, it would be very good if they regained 1 kilogram of secret iron after using 10 kilograms to make the equipment...
However, it was a must to make a weapon!
After they found the secret iron mine, he got Odom and Lautner to work together to make three weapons for him.
They made a long sword, a bow, and a dagger.
Both Odom and Lautner's sub-occupation were blacksmiths. One of them was a blacksmith grandmaster while the other was a blacksmith master. Their sub-occupations had surpassed their mid-level main occupations...
After all, a living profession and a fighting profession could not be compared.
It was very different for NPCs and players. NPCs didn't have experience levels, so they had to depend on how familiar they were with their living professions.
In the many years Odom had run away, he had chosen to stay in mines for a good majority of them.
That was why his hobby could only be playing with iron...
It had been more than forty years since he was born.
He had probably started playing with iron since he was young. It was that forty years of playing with iron that had resulted in a pair of strong arms.
With his strong arms and his Epic-level bloodline, he was already at the grandmaster level for a blacksmith.
[Beginner, middle, high, master, grandmaster, legendary were the levels for living professions.]
William got the two of them to work together because he wanted Lautner to be in charge of the image while Odom was in charge of the usability of the equipment. After all, when Dwarfs made equipment, they focused more on usability than appearance. However, William was a half-blooded Elf that looked handsome...
That was why his swords had to look cool as well!
After all, being strong or not was a game version problem and being handsome was forever.

The Dawn set of three pieces of equipment was all beginner gold equipment.
Gold and even Epic level equipment could be made as well.
However, for Odom, secret iron and pure iron ores weren't enough for him to make equipment that was stronger than the gold level. For the beginner level, this sort of gold quality equipment was already very good.
The equipment didn't have any set attributes. However, the sword and dagger had an overlaying piercing bleeding effect. To normal soldiers, it was similar to when an Orc was young and had made a mistake, and was facing its Father holding a wolf's tooth as a weapon, awaiting its punishment.
It was clear that an Orc's violent tendency was related to their family violence.
However, in a society lead by nobilities, they should still save the peasants when they could...
For the short-range warriors in Gods, unless they specialized in shield fighting, they would usually choose two weapons.
The main weapon was in-charge of the main damage while the sub-weapon would do the sneak attacks and blocking. Of course, the sub-weapon was also a good damage dealer. The main difference was in the fighting style.
As for whether they could block successfully, it depended on the individual player's luck and skills...
Many new players saw NPCs playing like this, so they followed and end up dying...
In the ten years of playing the game, William was become extremely good at using double-handed weapons. That was why he especially asked for a super short dagger, so he could act as an assassin if he was bored. After all, he liked to act as an assassin and was super in-tune with the assassin's teachings.
As for a magic staff?
Was that something he should touch?
The reason he wanted to learn such a support controlling soul magic was that he didn't want to touch a staff...
"After I put all of my experience points into the Saint Soul magic, it leveled-up to level 5 straight away while the other skills are reached level 3. Just nice, nothing was left..." William tugged his hair in annoyance. This game was the best at taking their experience points.
Leveling up a character required a lot of experience, while the battle energy and magic secret books were essential and required experience, skills also needed experience.
If he died again, he wouldn't be a grave-level player anymore. He would be a death soul-level player.
"If I hadn't received the mission two days ago, I would really be a little worried." William glanced at the level A mission on his mission list. He couldn't help but want to salivate. How many levels could he level up from this large amount of experience?
Building the town.

Secret reward: ?
Building a city was a small goal William had for the next six months. As for the secret reward, he glanced at his protective inheritance and decided not to ask for such things.
"Although we only have five blacksmith rooms, they are all super large blacksmith shops. There are a good 133 blacksmiths in them." William didn't stop the Dwarfs from making super big blacksmith shops.
After all, this group of Dwarfs had run for their lives for so many years and had spent a good majority of those years living in mines and caves. Apart from fighting, they knew their natural talent was playing with iron.
He had to admit, having so many Dwarf blacksmiths was something other places couldn't have even if they wanted. Many towns wanted a high leveled blacksmith, but they were merely daydreaming.
But how many high leveled blacksmiths did the Border Town have?
More than thirty.
He couldn't help it. Even if the Dwarfs like to play with iron naturally, their levels were still a result of circumstance. After all, since they were running for their lives, they couldn't have other hobbies...
For master leveled blacksmiths, apart from Lautner, there were even more Dwarf blacksmiths!
For grandmaster leveled blacksmiths, apart from Odom, there was also Old Hank, that hidden character with an Epic bloodline.
Will there be people who bought the things these Dwarfs made?
This wasn't a concern.
As the Lord, William would naturally find a way for them to sell them. Such as Black Lava nation, who no longer had an iron source, they would definitely buy large batches of equipment when facing a tough situation.
However, his Highness didn't plan to sell the iron anymore. Instead, he got them to make pieces of equipment, so they could sell it at a higher price.
Not only could the blacksmiths gain wielding experience, but they could also earn quite a large sum.
Of course, as the transaction's middleman, he earned the most. As the Lord, William was the owner of the iron mine and the Dwarfs were basically working for him.
The Temple of Light, Magic Sanctuary or Palace of Darkness buildings were all neutral so it didn't concern the stance of the town.
Being part of the neutral camp, the Border Town could choose not to build the three buildings.
However, they could build them together.
Such things acted like spreading their beliefs, the three-part fighting one another all the time.
If they built a Temple of Light, then rarer occupations like Temple Knights and pastors would appear.
If they built the other palaces, certain rare occupations would appear too.
"It's just a little troublesome to contact those people. Or maybe, they might despise my town and might not necessarily send someone over..." William scratched his head. He must build a Temple of Light and Palace of Darkness, the main benefit being to attract future players and nothing else.
As for the Magic Sanctuary, he must not build it. If he did, Moses' life could be very difficult in the future and he might even leave.
He didn't need to give up on a future Legendary big Boss for a middle-level mage teacher.
"How about I throw it all out now and build a mage's tower for Moses now?" William scratched his head again. It was very expensive to build a mage's tower, but it wasn't impossible, just that it was a little hard now...
