Chapter 54: chapter 54 - Name Stone
"Brothers, I can\'t do it anymore, the heat is too much for me"
Arman then look at Kllara.
"Kl\'lara, how are you still fine?"
Heard that, Kl\'lara showed a smug smile on her face.
"Heh, You\'re just that weak, kid, hahaha"
She laughs at Arman.
Kl\'lara is a spirit and a spirit is a Being that is born from Mana, so she has a body of Mana, That\'s why she is not affected too much by the heat or cold.
Although Arman is a Dragon, his skin is still not as strong as The Golden Dragon, so from The Five of Them, Arman is the one who is most affected by the heat.
"Y-you"
Taufik shook his head, then made some device that would continuously exclude cold air, the device is something that looks like a cooler, but instead of a phone, this one was for a body.
"Take this!"
Arman held the device that Taufik gave him and then inspected it.
"What is this, brother?"
"Insert your Mana into that, and then stick it to your neck, it will make you cold"
Arman does as Taufik asks him, inserts his Mana into it, and sticks it in his neck, not long after that, instead of feeling the heat he feels cold this time.
"Wow, this was so cool, brother, Thank you"
He turns his head to look at Kl\'lara again and is his turn to show a Smug smile.
"Ahaha, I have this, but you\'re not, hahaha"
This time Kl\'lara who feels annoyed, then looks at Taufik.
"My lord-"
"No, You are fine, on your own"
Before Kl\'lara asked, Taufik already Rejected her.
faced rejection from Taufik, Kl\'lara showed a sad face.
But Arman who saw this Laughed.
"Hahahaha-
" Arman..."
Taufik said in a cold voice and Arman who heard that instantly fell silent.
Taufik shakes his head again.
"Hahahaha, you guys are so funny"
Jha\'lal who watched this whole interaction laughed, then he looked at Taufik.
"But, what that thing, how can you make something out of nowhere?"
"Just my magic, nothing much"
Jha\'lal just shrugs his soldiers, he doesn\'t know if magic like that exists, but Jha\'lal who was a blacksmith still finds what Taufik did was amazing.
"Alright, if you say so"
They then continue their way.
--------
Just like what the guard Told him, the Inside of this Cave is indeed different.
More deeper they are, they meet with more Golden Dragons who forging something.
Inside this Cave is so big, there are many machines that they use to forge and many rooms that store what they have done forging.
Seeing the Golden Dragons who work here, Taufik noticed something, many of the Golden Dragons here have lost their limb, Whether it\'s their feet or their hands, Many Golden Dragons here are like That.
\'Are they the ones who survived the war with the Red Dragon?\'
But Taufik ignored it and kept following Jha\'lal, they kept walking until they arrived In front of one Room that was different from the other.
Inside the room, Taufik saw a golden Dragon that had no Wing and one foot, Taufik knew he lost one leg because his one leg, was something like an artificial leg made of some material like steel.
That Golden Dragon was Forging something too, but instead of using a machine like the other Golden Dragon Taufik saw before, this one is doing it classically, using a hammer.
"Tang~Tang~Tang~"
The clinking sound of iron meets iron can be heard from inside the room.
They getting close to that golden Dragon.
When they close enough, Jha\'lal shouts.
"Mr.Khan!"
"Tang~Tang~Tang~"
But the Dragon named Khan seemed didn\'t hear Jha\'lal and kept Hammering, But Jha\'lal still calling him, as if he was always doing this.
"Mr.Khan!"
Jha\'lal kept doing it until Khan Noticed him.
"Hmm? Ohh Jha\'lal, Hahaha I\'m sorry this one is almost done, so I just continued to forge it, hahaha"
Khan then looked at the others who came with Jha\'lal.
"So, who was the Man that The Queen mentioned in that letter?"
"This was the person, Mr. Khan...
Jha\'lal pointed at Taufik.
...the queen Husbend"
Taufik was startled by what Jha\'lal said.
"Huh?... Hey, What The Fuck are you saying?"
Jha\'lal looks at Taufik in confusion.
"Ehh, but that was the letter said, that you Ware the Queen Husbend"
"W-wha... That insane woman, I will deal with her later"
Taufik said, slightly angry at Maharani.
"Hahahaha, maybe you\'re the only one in this kingdom who dared to call the queen an insane woman"
Khan said, laughing so hard when he heard Taufik call Maharani an insane Woman.
The Guard who heard what Taufik said, considers he didn\'t hear anything, but she still will tell her queen about this later.
"Hahaha, I like you, kid, tell me what you want, if I can I will do it"
"Alright...
Taufik then takes his Black Katana which he usually uses out of his inventory, then shows it to Khan.
...this My weapon, can you do something to make it better?"
"Ohh"
Khan takes the Katana with only Two of his fingers.
"This little thing?"
Taufik nods his head.
Khan then pulled that Katana out from the scabbard, he saw a beautiful black blade.
"What a beautiful weapon...Hmm?"
At first, khan thought it would be a very easy job, but when he saw the Katana closely, he was shocked.
"T-this"
Khan then looks at Taufik.
"W-where you got this Katana, kid?"
Taufik tilts his head.
"Why?"
"T-this weapon is not something that something that made by hand, this weapon from the very beginning has always been like this, h-how something like this can be made? There\'s no trace of this weapon Being forged, it-it\'s Just like this weapon appeared out of nowhere...
Khan looks the Katana up and down.
... Amazing, the one who can make this weapon may be...a GOD only?"
Khan That looks at Taufik Again.
"So, where you got this weapon, kid?"
"... A Family heirloom?"
Taufik said, can\'t say that Katana was from the system reward.
"..."
Khan was silent for a while after Taufik said That.
"... Wow, your Family is awesome...do you expect me to say That?"
Khan said finding what Taufik said obviously a Lie.
Taufik stroked the back of his head, laughing awkwardly.
"Haha..."
Khan shakes his Dragon head.
"It\'s fine if you don\'t want to tell me, everyone has i secret, so it\'s fine.
"Haha, thank you, I appreciate it"
Taufik said, feeling relieved that Khan didn\'t ask him more.
"But, I can\'t do something to this weapon, More precisely, my level is not on this level yet, I\'m sorry"
Khan gave back the Katana to Taufik.
"I see, it\'s okay"
"But..."
Taufik looks at Khan.
"But?"
"Have you ever heard about the name stone?"
"Name Stone?"
Taufik tried to access his Mind Library to find out about The Nama Stone, but he didn\'t find anything.
He looks at Khan again and shakes his head.
"No, I never heard about that, what is this "Name stone" thing?
"The Name Stone or Soul Stone, but we usually can it as Name Stone, Like what the name is, when you smelt your weapon with this Stone and give your weapon a name after the smelting process is done, your weapon will become a soul weapon"
"Soul weapon?"
Khan nods his dragon head.
"Yeah, soul weapon, when your weapon becomes a soul weapon, it\'s the same as saying that your weapon is a living being, Not only that if your weapon becomes a soul weapon, The weapon will constantly grow stronger too, and if your weapon only can be used by you and the chosen descendant of yours, Interesting isn\'t it?"
"Is interesting indeed, so do you have that Stone?"
Heard that, Khan was smiling, and Taufik who saw his smiling thought that Khan had the Stone, so he was smiling happily too.
"Of course... I\'m not, Hahaha"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Taufik, Arman, Kl\'lara, Jha\'lal, and the Guard were not Laughing at all, they only saw Khan who laughed at his Joke in silence.
"You have to see your face, it\'s so funny, hahaha"
"...Has there never been anyone telling you that your joke is not Funny, Khan?"
"Of course not, they always told me that was funny, right Jha\'lal?"
Khan said looking at Jha\'lal seeking his opinion.
But instead of answering Khan, jha\'lal was avoiding his Gaze, like he was not hearing Khan At all.
"...Jha\'lal?"
Khan calls Jha\'lal, but Jha\'lal still pretends like He doesn\'t hear Khan at all.
"..."
Khan then looks at Taufik and the other.
"Is it not Funny?"
As It had been trained before, Taufik and The others nodded their head in unison.
"Yeah old Man, is not funny at all"
"Yeah, why are you trying to look funny, if it\'s not funny, pathetic"
Arman and Kl\'lara\'s words are like a slap on Khan\'s face.
"Bukk"
Khan fell with his knee on the ground.
"Ughh, stop, I get it, I will never tell a joke again, please stop"
Look at this Taufik shaking his head.
"Stop Khan, is still not funny, just tell me where I can get this Name Stone and how it looks, already"
"Still not funny? Haaa alright, the era has changed, now my humor is not funny to others again, this way life a long life is boring, ahhh I miss my old comrades"
Khan then stood up then go to search for something.
And when he back, he had a book in his hand.
"Take this, This book has anything about the Name Stone"
Taufik took the book but he didn\'t read it Immaditly and put it in his inventory instead.
"Thank you, I will be back if I get that stone, so can you help me with it?"
Khan nodded his head.
"Yeah, anytime, kid"
