It's actually difficult to evaluate the Divine Blood Descendant.

Strictly Goria is also a Divine Blood Descendant, because the predecessor of the Northern Witch split off from an incredibly powerful organization. This organization existed for a very long time, and its leader was even a Chosen one of the Goddess of Magic. During that period, many powerful Witch were born in the North, some of whom could even rival Deity!

That era is too far removed from the past.

Records about the ' Northern Chosen ' can only be found in the oldest archaeological documents.

As the purest Northern Witch, Goria possesses a trace of inherited bloodline, much like the Elf Noble before her. Some of this bloodline enhances their talents, while others have essentially exhausted their power. It's like how the God of Slaughter, though fallen long ago, still left behind many descendants—the former Godsbane of Slaughter —who survived the great calamity of Slaughter. These descendants multiplied generation after generation, eventually becoming virtually indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Occasionally, some exceptionally talented individuals will appear, but their bloodline has become so diluted that it's one in ten million.

There are actually many people like that.

Therefore, most Godsbane bloodlines refer to those within three generations; those beyond this range are no longer considered Divine Blood Descendant.

This Elf Noble before me possesses neither Divine Power nor even a trace of Divinity. At most, he has a superior bloodline talent, giving him slightly higher basic attributes than ordinary people. This bloodline talent is roughly equivalent to that of a direct descendant of Legendary Professional, and may even be inferior to that of a descendant of Legendary Professional.

once.

One theory is that the Heroic Template inherited the Blood of Murder, which is why they can extract Soul Energy. Among the native inhabitants of this world, only a very special group of beings can enhance their strength through Slaughter, and these special beings are basically related to the domain of the Portfolio of Murder by blood.

However, this claim has never been verified.

Soren paid little attention to the Elf Noble and headed straight for the Inn, intending to rest there for the day.

This village is actually quite large, with a large population. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before it develops into a town. Soren's Half-Elf bloodline is diluted. From the outside, he looks like a human, so he hasn't received any special treatment. These Elf treat him like any other human adventurer, and their attitude is generally cold. Elf are actually a difficult race to get along with; it's only because outsiders find them mysterious and intriguing that the Bard have romanticized their image.

Soren even thought that the stubborn Dwarf were easier to deal with than the Elf!

There is a weapon shop in the village.

The blacksmith was a rather burly Elf, hardly elegant, wielding his hammer with the same clanging sounds. He wore an apron. No race in this world is born elegant; to eat, drink, and relieve oneself, one must cultivate food; to clothe oneself, one must perform various tasks. Elf, too, use their excrement to fertilize the land. Some druids who believe in the Path of the Earth even personally engage in what appears to be dirty labor, considering it a form of spiritual practice.

Um.

This last point was influenced by the Monk, especially the Ascetic among Monk.

Over the long years, numerous professional paths have emerged. Things that remain unchanged will only be gradually eliminated. The Druid Order is now considered a relatively powerful Spellcaster organization, and its Reformist Faction has even accepted the elemental ideas of Shamanic Doctrine. The Elf village where Soren is located falls within the territory of the Earth Doctrine, and an ancient stone pillar can be seen in the center of the village.

From this perspective, the world is still full of boundless vitality!

The burly Elf Blacksmith glanced at Soren. Blacksmiths were not to be underestimated; they were staunchly middle-class and a region with a high incidence of professional advancement.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble at a weapons shop will eventually regret it!

Soren, of course, wouldn't underestimate the blacksmith before him; over a decade of blacksmithing had essentially forged him into a quasi -Warrior. He nodded slightly and said, "I'd like to purchase a high-quality Scimitar. Price is not an issue."

"Scimitar?" The burly Elf Blacksmith glanced at him, casually pulled one out from behind him, and handed it to him, saying, "How about this one?"

Whiteboard.

Soren didn't even need to look; he just touched it and knew it was a basic item. And it was even a little light.

He shook his head in disappointment and said, "Too light. This level of hardness probably can't withstand the explosive force of combat; it might even damage weapons used against Gnoll."

The Elf Blacksmith glanced at him again, then said, "There's nothing better."

"I mainly forge sickles and Kitchen Knife here, or Longsword for Patrol Guard. If you want a Longsword, I have a few pretty good ones."

The Longsword of the Elf Patrol Guard?

Soren recalled that they seemed to be using finely crafted forged items. Could the blacksmith before him really forge such items?

Basically, any weapon that can be crafted with fine forging can be made into Tier 1 Supernatural Weapon using some special materials.

The Elf ' forging skills are quite good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to forge two Legendary Scimitar in the Underdark. The blacksmith in front of him is certainly not a master, but he should be able to forge a +1 Scimitar, right?

High-level blacksmiths are rare, not because they lack skill, but because master blacksmiths are all high-level professionals!

There were also part-time Wizard who researched Alchemy.

The one who forged the Legendary Scimitar for Soren was a level 15 Ranger /level 3 Mielillian Ronin /level 8 Sorcerer, a true Legendary- level professional, and this guy was also one-quarter dragonkin.

His family once captured a Shadow Dragon.

The Shadow Dragon wasn't the key point; the key point was that this Shadow Dragon was male, so the Evil Drow imprisoned it.

They even used some kind of special Polymorph to turn it into a human.

What happened next is pretty self-explanatory. Drow are hardly capable of anything good. A group of female Drow imprisoned it for a long time, engaging in activities unsuitable for children every day, eventually resulting in the birth of a large number of hybrid Half-Dragon. The male shadow Shadow Dragon nearly went mad after escaping, risking his life to massacre the Drow, but some of the Half-Dragon still survived.

One of them was the one who forged the Legendary Scimitar for Soren!

Soren did a lot of work to forge the Scimitar. He even killed a candidate for matriarch of a certain family.

The blacksmith in front of me naturally didn't have such high requirements.

Soren glanced at him and tentatively asked, "If I find you the materials, can you forge an Supernatural Weapon?"

"Huh?"

The Elf Blacksmith glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Having the materials is certainly possible, but I don't understand Alchemy, so I can't inflict elemental damage on it."

That's enough.

Soren no longer dared to dream of elemental damage; that required a couple hundred points of Alchemy to apply. For him, forging a +1 ordinary Transcendent Scimitar was already more than enough. There were many mediocre blacksmiths, very few who could forge military-grade pieces, and even fewer who could enchant with Alchemy. The blacksmiths among the Dwarf boasted about their skill to an inflated degree. When Soren went there, he only encountered a group of high-level blacksmiths with 150 to 250 points of forging skill.

Damn it, there isn't a single entity in the entire Forgehold capable of forging a Tier 3 Legendary Scimitar!

Indeed, one shouldn't trust Dwarf too much.

These guys start bragging whenever they drink, and their bragging is completely unreliable!

The Elf Blacksmith in front of me looked to be nearing middle age. At that age, he must have been forging for a very long time. I estimate that his forging skill is over 200 points, which should be enough to forge Tier 1 Transcendent Scimitar.

Soren immediately replied, "Tell me what materials you need! I'll get them for you as soon as possible."

Tier 1 extraordinary materials are not uncommon.

He probably has refined iron here; what he's lacking are probably some other things.

"300 Gold Daler." The Elf Blacksmith wasn't in a hurry. He glanced at Soren first, then took out a rough piece of paper and wrote down a list of items, saying, "Just find these items; you can actually buy them from Cleric Jelo."

Soren reached out, took it, and glanced at it.

The items mentioned above aren't particularly rare, and are worth around 200 Gold Daler. Fluorite is the easiest to find, and custom-made weapons cost twice as much as buying secondhand ones. 500 Gold Daler is still within Soren's budget.

So he agreed without hesitation.

For a moment, he actually felt a little sad that after coming to this world for so long, he could finally get hold of extraordinary weapons.

Even though it was only Tier 1 weapon, he was already satisfied.

At the very least, a custom-made Scimitar could be made to his standards, making it far more suitable than the military-grade weapons he bought earlier. For Rogue like him who values skill, the weapon must be the one best suited to him. Otherwise, buying a +1 Longsword wouldn't be difficult; a little more money would suffice. But the problem is that a 1.2-meter sword is Longsword, and a 1.3-meter one is also Longsword Longsword, yet the feeling of holding them is completely different.

Rogue are not as picky about weapons as Warrior. Warrior's skill level dictates that the requirements for weapons are greatly reduced.

The deal is done.

After receiving the deposit, the Elf Blacksmith began his work, first needing to temper the refined iron. Supernatural Weapon are forged using the technique of hundredfold steel forging, and the characteristic of Elven Race forging is the ability to create tiny fish-scale patterns during the hammering process. Dwarf forging techniques emphasize high hardness, Elf forging techniques emphasize good toughness, making their weapons less prone to breakage.

Soren went straight to buy all the materials, barely haggling, and then had them delivered here.

The Elf Blacksmith seemed very interested in forging Supernatural Weapon, and even started his forge overnight, indicating that it could be completed within three days. This was undoubtedly good news, and at that time Soren's injuries had almost fully recovered.

(P. S.: I'll post the new model of the Scimitar in the related section later. It should be available to see after the audit is approved. You guys are awesome! Fututu will be releasing an extra chapter tomorrow!) (To be continued~^~)
